THE SECURITIES

 

SECTION 2.01                                      Title and Terms; Payments. There is hereby established a series of Securities designated the “0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018” initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $116,602,000, which amount shall be as set forth in a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 303 of the Original Indenture.

 

The principal amount of Notes then Outstanding shall be payable at the Stated Maturity. Interest on the Notes shall accrue at a rate of 0.75% per annum, from June 19, 2013 or from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on January 15, 2014, to the Person in whose name a Note is registered on the Security Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.

 

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, hereafter issue additional notes (“Additional Notes”) under the Indenture with the same terms as the Notes (other than any legends or endorsements thereon) issued on the date of this Supplemental Indenture (the “Initial Notes”) other than any differences in CUSIP numbers, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that such Additional Notes must be part of the same issue as the Initial Notes for federal income tax purposes unless the Additional Notes have a separate CUSIP than the Initial Notes. Any such Additional Notes shall constitute a single series together with the Initial Notes for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, for purposes of any waivers, supplements or amendments to the Indenture requiring the approval of Holders of the Notes and any offers to purchase the Notes.

 

The Form of Note shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit A and the Form of Notice of Conversion, the Form of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice and the Form of Assignment and Transfer shall be substantially as set forth in Attachments 1, 2 and 3, respectively, to Exhibit A, each of which is incorporated into and shall be deemed a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act or the rules of the Commission or any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined to be necessary or appropriate by the Officers of the Company executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes.

 

The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on any Global Note in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Note. The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on any Physical Notes at the office or agency designated by the Company for that purpose, unless a Holder timely requests to have such amounts paid by wire transfer in accordance with the final three sentences of this paragraph, in which case the Company shall instead pay such principal of and interest on any Physical Notes by wire transfer in accordance with the transfer instructions provided in such

 

11











 

request. The Company has initially designated the Trustee as its Paying Agent and Security Registrar in respect of the Notes and its agency in New York, New York as a place where Notes may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer. The Company may, however, change the Paying Agent or Security Registrar for the Notes without prior notice to the Holders thereof, and the Company may act as Paying Agent or Security Registrar for the Notes. Payments on any Physical Notes having a principal amount of at least $10,000,000 shall be payable, if the Holder of such Physical Notes so requests in accordance with the two immediately succeeding sentences, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Holder at a bank in New York City, New York. To request payment by wire transfer, the Holder must give appropriate transfer instructions to the Trustee or other Paying Agent (if not the Trustee) at least 15 Business Days before the requested wire payment is due and, in the case of any interest payments, the instructions must be given by the Person who is shown on the Trustee’s records as the Holder of the Physical Note on the applicable Regular Record Date. All applications for payment by wire transfer shall remain in effect unless and until new instructions are given in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

SECTION 2.02                                      Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) The Notes initially shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes without interest coupons (i) registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depositary and (ii) delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary.

 

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture or the Original Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and Cede & Co., or such other Person designated by the Depositary as its nominee, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of any Holder.

 

(b)                                 Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 305 of the Original Indenture, interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for Physical Notes, only if: (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and a successor Depositary is not appointed within 60 days; (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor Depositary is not appointed within 60 days; or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and such beneficial owner requests that its Notes be issued as Physical Notes, in each case in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Other than as set forth in this Section 2.02(b), the Notes shall remain in global form as Global Notes.

 

(c)                                  In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 305 of the Original Indenture, as

 

12











 

modified by this Section 2.02, the Security Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount in accordance with Section 305 of the Original Indenture, as modified by this Section 2.02.

 

(d)                                 In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 305 of the Original Indenture, as modified by this Section 2.02, the Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations and the same tenor.

 

(e)                                  The Holder of Global Notes may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Supplemental Indenture, Original Indenture or the Notes.

 

SECTION 2.03                                      Reporting Requirement. For purposes of Section 703 of the Original Indenture, documents filed by the Company with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee as of the time such documents are filed via the Commission’s EDGAR system. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute a representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the reports, information and documents. The Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates of the Company).

 

SECTION 2.04                                      Repurchase and Cancellation. To the extent permitted by law, the Company may repurchase Notes in open-market purchases or negotiated transactions without giving prior notice to Holders. The Company shall surrender any Notes repurchased by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 310 of the Original Indenture and any such Notes repurchased by the Company shall be deemed to be no longer Outstanding. Any Notes surrendered for cancellation by the Company shall not be reissued or resold.

Prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

SECTION 3.05             Notes Purchased in Whole or in Part. Any Note that is to be purchased, whether in whole or in part, shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires in the case of Physical Notes, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not purchased.

In connection with any offer to purchase Notes under Section 3.01, the Company shall, in each case if required, (i) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (ii) if required under the Exchange Act, file a Schedule TO or any other filing required thereunder and (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws, in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 3.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 3.01.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall promptly return any such excess to the Company.

(b)        (i) The Notes may be surrendered for conversion during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2013 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day. The Company shall determine at the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2013 whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this clause (i) and shall notify the Trustee if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this clause (i).

 

(ii)               The Notes may be surrendered for conversion during the five Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in this clause (ii), for each Trading Day of such Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day and the applicable Conversion Rate (the “Trading Price Condition”). The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this clause (ii) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in Section 1.02. The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company in accordance with the definition of Trading Price, along with appropriate contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes in accordance with this clause (ii) unless requested by the Company, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine (or, if the Company is then acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine) the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day following the receipt of such evidence and on each successive Trading Day until the

 

18











 

Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. If the Company does not so instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain (or, if the Company is then acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company does not obtain) bids when required, then the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate on each day the Company fails to do so. If the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee). If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day and the applicable Conversion Rate, the Company shall so notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent.

 

(iii)          If the Company elects to:

 

(A)          issue to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of its Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or

 

(B)          distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,

 

then, in each case, the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (x) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date and (y) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.

 

(iv)          If a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase the Notes pursuant to Article 3, or if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its assets, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the date which is 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction (or, if later, the Business Day after the

 

19











 

Company gives notice of such transaction) until 35 Trading Days after the actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date. The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee (i) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction or (ii) if the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, within one Business Day of the date upon which the Company receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware, of such transaction but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction.

 

SECTION 4.02             Conversion Procedures.

 

(a) Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.

 

(b)           In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by Section 4.03(d) and any taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 4.08, and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Physical Notes, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:

 

(i)            complete and manually sign a conversion notice in the form set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;

 

(ii)           deliver the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent;

 

(iii)          if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents,

 

(iv)          if required, make any payment required under Section 4.03(d); and

 

(v)           if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in Section 4.08.

 

The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above shall be the “Conversion Date” with respect to such Notes surrendered for conversion. The Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in any event within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, provide the Company with notice of any conversion by a Holder of the Notes.

 

(c)           Each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. All such Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the

 

20











 

registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or its duly authorized attorney.

 

(d)           In case any Notes of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.

 

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion on the relevant Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Combination Settlement), as the case may be. Upon the Conversion Date of Notes surrendered for conversion, such Person shall no longer be a Holder with respect to such Notes.

 

(e)           Upon the conversion of a beneficial interest in Global Notes, the Conversion Agent shall make a notation on such Global Notes as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Article 3 prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

 

SECTION 4.03             Settlement Upon Conversion. (a) Subject to this Section 4.03 and Section 4.06(b), upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to converting Holders, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, either cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with clause (e) of this Section 4.03 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with clause (e) of this Section 4.03 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 4.03.

 

(i)            All conversions occurring on or after April 15, 2018 shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.

 

(ii)           Prior to April 15, 2018, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on any given Conversion Date. Except for any conversion with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after April 15, 2018, the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions with Conversion Dates that occur on different Trading Days.

 

21











 

(iii)          If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or the period beginning on, but excluding, April 15, 2018 and ending on, and including, the Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, as the case may be), the Company elects to deliver a notice (a “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company, through the Trustee, shall deliver such Settlement Notice to converting Holders no later than the second Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions occurring on or after April 15, 2018, no later than April 15, 2018).

 

If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount shall be equal to $1,000. Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount. If the Company delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be equal to $1,000.

 

(iv)          The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

 

(A)              if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted, divided by $1,000, and (2) the applicable Conversion Rate;

 

(B)              if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 25 consecutive Trading Days during the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period; and

 

(C)              if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement (or is deemed to have so elected), the Company shall pay and deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, an amount of cash and shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 25 consecutive Trading Days during the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period.

 

(v)           The Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of its Conversion Obligation no later than the third Business Day

 

22











 

immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, and no later than the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period, in the case of an election to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by any other Settlement Method.

 

(b)           The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash deliverable in lieu of any fractional share, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash deliverable in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agents (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

 

(c)           Subject to Section 4.03(d), upon conversion, Holders shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

 

(d)           Upon the conversion of any Notes, the Holder of such Notes shall not be entitled to receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except to the extent specified below. The Company’s delivery to the Holder of cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with any cash payment for any fractional share of Common Stock, if applicable, into which a Note is convertible shall be deemed to satisfy in full the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes so converted and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of Notes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed to be paid first out of any cash paid upon such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on any Regular Record Date and prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes at the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment need be made (i) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, or (iii) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any Defaulted Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.

 

(e)           The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the relevant

 

23











 

Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Date (in the case of Combination Settlement). For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period and any fractional share remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash. In addition, if more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered.

 

SECTION 4.04             Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 4.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if such Holders held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect for such Notes immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such event, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

 

(a)           If the Company exclusively issues shares of its Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of its Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:



 

where,

 

	
CR0
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of   business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or   immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share   split or share combination, as applicable;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
CR1
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business   on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
OS0
    	
=
    	
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to   the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date; and
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
OS1
    	
=
    	
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after   giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share   combination.
    


 

Any adjustment made under this Section 4.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any

 

24











 

dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or any share split or combination of the type described in this Section 4.04(a) is announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or not to split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced.

 

(b)           If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 



 

where,

 

	
CR0
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of   business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
CR1
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business   on such Ex-Dividend Date;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
OS0
    	
=
    	
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to   the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
X
    	
=
    	
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such   rights, options or warrants; and
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
Y
    	
=
    	
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price   payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Last   Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day   period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of   announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.
    


 

Any increase made under this Section 4.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or

 

25











 

warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

 

For purposes of this Section 4.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of the Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

 

(c)           If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of its or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding

 

(i)            dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b);

 

(ii)           dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and

 

(iii)          Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.04(c) shall apply;

 

(any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:



 

where,

 

	
CR0
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of   business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
CR1
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business   on such Ex-Dividend Date;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
SP0
    	
=
    	
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over   the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately   preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
FMV
    	
=
    	
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of   the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share   of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
    


 

26









 

If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.04(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Notes shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of the Distributed Property that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

 

Any increase made under the above portion of Section 4.04(c) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

 

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

	
 
    	
 
    	

    


 

where,

 

	
CR0 
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
CR1 
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the   Valuation Period;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
FMV0 
    	
=
    	
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or   similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to   one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of Last   Reported Sale Price as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were   the Common Stock) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and   including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
MP0 
    	
=
    	
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the   Valuation Period.
    


 

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur on the last day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period

 

27











 

references in the portion of this Section 4.04(c) related to Spin-Offs to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.

 

For the purposes of this Section 4.04(c) (and subject in all respects to Section 4.12), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.04(c), (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 4.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date of such deemed distribution (in which case the original rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders). In addition, in the event of any distribution or deemed distribution of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, upon such final redemption or repurchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming each such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

 

For purposes of this Section 4.04(c) and subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.04, any dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.04(c) applies which also includes one or both of:

 

(A)          a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 4.04(a) applies (the “Clause A Distribution”);

 

(B)          a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 4.04(b) applies (the “Clause B Distribution”),

 

28











 

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.04(c) applies (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 4.04(c) with respect thereto shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 4.04(a) and Section 4.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company, (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date” within the meaning of Section 4.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 4.04(b).

 

(d)           If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed $0.07 per share (the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	
 
    	
 
    	

    


 

 

where,

 

	
CR0
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of   business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
CR1
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business   on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
SP0
    	
=
    	
the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day   immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
T
    	
=
    	
the Initial Dividend Threshold; provided   that if the dividend or distribution is not a regular cash   dividend, the Initial Dividend Threshold shall be deemed to be zero; and
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
C
    	
=
    	
the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders   of the Common Stock.
    


 

The Initial Dividend Threshold shall be adjusted in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided that no adjustment shall be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 4.04(d).

 

29











 

Any increase pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

 

If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

(e)           If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

	
 
    	
 
    	

    


 

where,

 

	
CR0
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of   business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the   Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
CR1
    	
=
    	
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business   on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day   next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
AC
    	
=
    	
the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as   determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in   such tender offer or exchange offer;
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
OS0
    	
=
    	
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to   the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the   purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer   or exchange offer);
    
	
 
    	
 
    	
 
    
	
OS1
    	
=
    	
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after   the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the   purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or   exchange offer); and
    


 

30











 

	
SP1
    	
=
    	
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over   the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next   succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
    


 

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.04(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references in this Section 4.04(e) with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.

 

(f)            The Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to this Section 4.04(f), the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Notes a notice of the increase at least 10 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

 

(g)           The Company may (but shall not be required to) increase the Conversion Rate, in addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4.04(a), 4.04(b), 4.04(c), 4.04(d), 4.04(e) or 4.04(f), if the Board of Directors considers such increase to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.

 

(h)           Notwithstanding this Section 4.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the Common Shares as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 4.02(d) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 4.04, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of shares on an un-adjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment. The term “Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock (or other security) have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors, by statute, by contract or otherwise).

 

(i)            All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent (including, in the case of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the

 

31











 

resulting adjustment to the Conversion Price) or to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a share. No adjustment shall be required to be made for the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 4.04 and in Section 4.12.

 

(j)            Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder of the Notes. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

 

(k)           For purposes of this Section 4.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

 

(l)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 4, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made:

 

(i)            upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

 

(ii)           upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

(iii)          upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this Section 4.04(l) and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

 

(iv)          for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

 

(v)           for accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any.

 

SECTION 4.05             Certain Other Adjustments. Whenever any provision of the Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including any Cash Settlement Averaging Period), the Company shall make appropriate

 

32











 

adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.

 

SECTION 4.06             Adjustment to Shares Delivered Upon Conversion Upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. (a) If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under certain circumstances, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

 

(b)           Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 4.03; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property is comprised entirely of cash, then, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the applicable Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Additional Shares) multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation deliverable by the Company shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date.

 

(c)           The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, during such five consecutive Trading Day period.

 

33











 

The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table in Schedule A, in which case:

 

(i)            If the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year.

 

(ii)           If the Stock Price is greater than $25.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A pursuant to subsection (d) below), no additional shares will be issued upon conversion.

 

(iii)          If the Stock Price is less than $8.69 per share (subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A pursuant to subsection (d) below), no additional shares will be issued upon conversion.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion exceed 115.0747 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.04.

 

(d)           The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.04.

 

(e)           The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five business days after such Effective Date.

 

SECTION 4.07             Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

 

(a)           In the case of:

 

(i)            any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination);

 

(ii)           any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;

 

(iii)          any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or

 

34











 

(iv)          any statutory share exchange;

 

in each case as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversation Rate prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”, with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the type and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (i) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid and delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 4.03 and (ii) (x) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 4.03 shall continue to be payable in cash, (y) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 4.03 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such Merger Event and (z) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

 

If, as a result of the Merger Event, each share of Common Stock is converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (x) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election, and (y) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the foregoing sentence shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (x) attributable to one share of Common Stock. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

 

The Company shall not become a party to any such Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 4.07. Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 in the judgment of the Board of Directors or the board of directors of the successor Person. If, in the case of any such Merger Event, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person.

 

35











 

(b)           The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section 4.07 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events. If this Section 4.07 applies to any Merger Event, Section 4.04 shall not apply.

 

(c)           In connection with any Merger Event, the Initial Dividend Threshold shall be subject to adjustment as described in clause (i), clause (ii) or clause (iii) below, as the case may be.

 

(i)            In the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to the second paragraph of subsection (a) above and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed entirely of shares of common stock (the “Merger Common Stock”), the Initial Dividend Threshold at and after the effective time of such Merger Event shall be equal to (x) the Initial Dividend Threshold immediately prior to the effective time of such Merger Event, divided by (y) the number of shares of Merger Common Stock that a holder of one share of Common Stock would receive in such Merger Event (such quotient rounded down to nearest cent).

 

(ii)           In the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to the second paragraph of subsection (a) above and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed in part of shares of Merger Common Stock, the Initial Dividend Threshold at and after the effective time of such Merger Event shall be equal to (x) the Initial Dividend Threshold immediately prior to the effective time of such Merger Event, multiplied by (y) the Merger Valuation Percentage for such Merger Event (such quotient rounded down to nearest cent).

 

(iii)          For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to the second paragraph of subsection (a) above and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed entirely of consideration other than shares of common stock, the Initial Dividend Threshold at and after the effective time of such Merger Event shall be equal to zero.

 

(d)           For purposes of subsection (c) of this Section 4.07, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(i)            The “Merger Valuation Pecentage” for any Merger Event shall be equal to (x) the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of one share of such Merger Common Stock over the relevant Merger Valuation Period (determined as if references to “Common Stock” in the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” were references to the “Merger Common Stock” for such Merger Event), divided by (y) the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of one share of Common Stock over the relevant Merger Valuation Period.

 

36









 

(ii)           The “Merger Valuation Period” for any Merger Event means the five consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding, but excluding, the effective date for such Merger Event.

 

SECTION 4.08             Taxes on Shares Issued. The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto; provided, however, that if such documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax is due because the Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes has requested that shares of Common Stock be issued in a name other than that of the Holder or beneficial owner of the converted Notes, then such taxes shall be paid by such Holder or beneficial owner, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate evidencing such shares unless and until such Holder or beneficial owner shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

SECTION 4.09             Reservation of Shares; Shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance With Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall reserve, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares or securities, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder and that Physical Settlement is applicable).

 

The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any tax, lien or charge (other than those created by the Holder).

 

The Company shall list or cause to have quoted any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Notes on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

 

SECTION 4.10             Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine or calculate the Conversion Rate, to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or to confirm the accuracy of any such adjustment when made or the appropriateness of the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or of any other securities or property that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Notes; and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 4. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of

 

37











 

its capacities hereunder, including its capacity as Conversion Agent and if it is so appointed by the Company and accepts such appointment, as Bid Solicitation Agent.

 

SECTION 4.11             Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any:

 

(a)           action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.04 or Section 4.12; or

 

(b)           Merger Event; or

 

(c)           voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Supplemental Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s address appearing on in the Security Register, which the Company shall provide to the Trustee, as promptly as practicable but in any event at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (y) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend (or any other distribution), Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

 

SECTION 4.12             Stockholder Rights Plan. Each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion of Notes pursuant to this Article 4 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company and in effect upon conversion of such Notes, as the same may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to any conversion such rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants as described in Section 4.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

 

ARTICLE 5

REMEDIES

 

SECTION 5.01             Events of Default. In addition to the Events of Default specified in Section 501 of the Original Indenture, each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” wherever used herein with respect to the Notes:

 

38











 

(a)           default in the payment of principal of any Note when due and payable upon purchase in connection with a Fundamental Change, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

 

(b)           failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes in accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right in accordance with Article 4, which failure continues unremedied for five days; and

 

(c)           failure by the Company to provide a Fundamental Change Company Notice pursuant to Section 3.01(b) or notice of a specified corporate transaction required by Section 4.01(b)(iii) or Section 4.01(b)(iv) in accordance with the relevant Section, in each case when due; and

 

(d)           default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $50 million in the aggregate of the Company or any such Subsidiary, whether such indebtedness exists on the date of this Supplemental Indenture or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such debt when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise.

 

SECTION 5.02             Additional Interest. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to (i) its failure to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any documents or reports that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or (ii) its failure to comply with its reporting obligations in Section 703 of the Original Indenture, as modified by Section 2.03, shall after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding (“Additional Interest”) for each day during the 60-day period beginning on, and including, the occurrence of such an Event of Default during which such Event of Default is continuing. If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 61st day after such Event of Default occurs (if such Event of Default is not cured or waived prior to such 61st day), the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 502 of the Original Indenture. This Section 5.02 shall not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not timely elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 5.02, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 502 of the Original Indenture.

 

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 60 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must give notice to Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 60-day period. Upon the failure to timely give all Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 502 of the Original Indenture.

 

39











 

SECTION 5.03             Waiver; Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Amounts Due Upon Conversion. (a) In addition to the circumstances set forth in Section 513 of the Original Indenture and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture, Holders of the Notes may not on behalf of the Holders of all Notes waive any past Default with respect to the Company’s failure to (a) pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion in accordance with Article 4 or (b) pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price (if applicable) in accordance with Article 3.

 

(a)           In addition to the circumstances set forth in Section 508 of the Original Indenture and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive amounts due upon conversion in accordance with Article 4 and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price (if applicable) in accordance with Article 3 and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

SECTION 5.04             Notice of Defaults. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture, (a) the list of exceptions in Section 601 of the Original Indenture pursuant to which the Trustee may not withhold notice of any Default under the Indenture shall include the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price (if applicable) in accordance with Article 3 and the payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Article 4 and (b) in addition to any obligations of the Company under Section 601 of the Original Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any events that would constitute an Event of Default, the status of such events and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

 

SECTION 5.05             Overdue Payments. Notwithstanding Section 503 of the Original Indenture, payments of (a) principal of the Notes, (b) to the extent lawful, interest on the Notes and (c) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price (if applicable) in accordance with Article 3 that are not made when due shall, in each case, accrue interest at the annual rate of the then-applicable interest rate of the Notes from the required payment date (any such amounts, “Defaulted Amounts”). The Company shall pay any such Defaulted Amounts in accordance with the provisions of Section 307 of the Original Indenture and, for this purpose, each reference to Defaulted Interest in the Original Indenture shall be deemed to be a reference to Defaulted Amounts. In addition, all references in Section 503 of the Original Indenture to “principal” shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to “principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable).”

 

ARTICLE 6

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

SECTION 6.01             Satisfaction and Discharge of the Supplemental Indenture. Articles 4 and 14 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the satisfaction and discharge provisions set forth in this Article 6 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in their entirety Articles 4 and 14 of the Original Indenture, and all references in the Original Indenture to Articles 4 and 14 thereof and satisfaction and discharge provisions therein, as the

 

40











 

case may be, shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Article 6 and the satisfaction and discharge provisions set forth in this Article 6, respectively. When (a) the Company shall deliver to the Registrar for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (b) all the Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity, on any Fundamental Change Purchase Date, upon conversion or otherwise) and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, or deliver to the Holders, as applicable, cash or cash and shares of Common Stock, if any (in the case of any conversion to which Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement applies), sufficient to pay all amounts due (and shares of Common Stock deliverable following conversion, if applicable) on all of such Notes (other than any Notes that shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due, accompanied, except in the event the Notes are due and payable solely in cash at the Stated Maturity of the Notes or upon an earlier Fundamental Change Purchase Date, by a verification report as to the sufficiency of the deposited amount from an independent certified accountant or other financial professional reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Supplemental Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to (i) rights hereunder of Holders of the Notes to receive all amounts owing upon the Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders of the Notes, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee and (ii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on written demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 102 of the Original Indenture and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture or the Original Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under this Section 6.01 or Section 606 of the Original Indenture, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 611 of the Original Indenture and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of Section 401 of the Original Indenture, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 of the Original Indenture and the last paragraph of Section 1003 of the Original Indenture shall survive.

 

SECTION 6.02             Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 6.04, all monies and shares of Common Stock, if any, deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.01 shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders of the Notes, and such monies and shares of Common Stock shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent),

 

41











 

to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment, settlement or redemption of which such monies or shares of Common Stock have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums or amounts due and to become due thereon for principal and interest, if any.

 

SECTION 6.03             Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies and shares of Common Stock, if any, then held by any Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies and shares of Common Stock.

 

SECTION 6.04             Return of Unclaimed Monies. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies and shares of Common Stock deposited with or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders of the Notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of or interest, if any, on such Notes, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand, and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies and shares of Common Stock; and the Holder of any of the Notes shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment or delivery that such Holder of the Notes may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

 

SECTION 6.05             Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6.02 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 6.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money and shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6.02; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on, principal of or payment or delivery in respect of any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or shares of Common Stock, if any, held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(b)           change the ranking of the Notes.

 

SECTION 7.03             Notice of Amendment or Supplement. After an amendment or supplement under this Article 7 or Article 9 of the Original Indenture becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement.

In no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or

In addition to the provisions set forth under Article 8 of the Original Indenture, the Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another Person, unless:

 

(a)           the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) (the “Successor Company”) is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia and such Successor Company (if not the Company) expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture; and

SECTION 8.02             Successor Person Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease in which the Company is not the surviving

 

44











 

corporation and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all of the Notes, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed or satisfied by the Company, such Successor Company shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of this first part, and the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes, issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in the Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, [            ] MILLION DOLLARS ($[          ]) (or such lesser principal amount as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Securities” attached hereto) on July 15, 2018 unless earlier converted or repurchased, and to pay interest thereon as set forth in the manner, at the rates and to the Persons set forth in the Indenture.

 

This Note shall bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum from June 19, 2013 or from the most recent date to which interest had been paid or provided to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, until the principal hereof shall be repaid. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2014, to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. Additional Interest will be payable at the option of the Company on the terms set forth in Section 5.02 of the within-mentioned Supplemental Indenture, and any reference to interest on, or in respect of, any Note therein shall be deemed to include Additional Interest if, in such context, Additional Interest is, was or would be payable pursuant to such Section 5.02 and any express mention of the payment of Additional Interest in any provision therein shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions thereof where such express mention is not made.

 

The Company will pay interest on overdue principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable), and, to the extent lawful, on Defaulted Interest, in each case at the annual rate of the then-applicable interest rate from the required payment date. Interest not paid when due and any interest on principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) or interest not paid when due shall be paid to Holders by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 307 of the Original Indenture and, for this purpose, each reference to Defaulted Interest in the Original Indenture shall be deemed to include such interest payable in respect of overdue principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable).

 

The Company shall pay principal of and interest on this Note, so long as such Note is a Global Note, in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Note. As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company shall pay principal of any Notes (other than Notes that are Global Notes) at the office or agency designated by the Company for that purpose. The Company has initially designated the Trustee as its Paying Agent and Security Registrar in respect of the Notes and its agency in New York, New York as a place where Notes may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 

In the case of any conflict between this Note and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control. This Note, and any claim or controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Note, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to principles of conflicts of laws).

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

JANUS CAPITAL GROUP INC.

0.75% Convertible Senior Note due 2018

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued under an Indenture dated as of November 6, 2001, as previously amended and supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof (herein called the “Original Indenture”) and as further supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 19, 2013 (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture” and the Original Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., herein called the “Trustee”, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.

 

This Note is not subject to redemption at the option of the Company prior to July 15, 2018 and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Note is not subject to the provisions of Article 11 of the Original Indenture.

 

The provisions in Articles 4 and 14 of the Original Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Notes, and Article 6 of the Supplemental Indenture supersedes the entirety thereof.

 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option (i) during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2018, and (ii) on or after April 15, 2018, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, to convert this Note or a portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at the applicable Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the principal amount on the Stated Maturity thereof, as the case may be, to the holder who surrenders a Note to the Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 

A-6









 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes to be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, in case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and interest on all Notes may be declared due and payable, by either the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then Outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the principal of, interest on and the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed.

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or Trustee may treat the Person in whose name the Note

is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

All defined terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
