been declared effective under the Securities Act; (C) to a Person the Holder reasonably believes is
a QIB that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of another QIB pursuant to a valid
private placement exemption under the Securities Act and to whom notice is given that the transfer
is being made in reliance on such an exemption; or (D) under any other available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in the case of clauses (C) and (D) above, such
shares of Common Stock are no longer restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144.
(ii) Any such shares of Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have
expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such
shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the
Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock which shall not bear the Restricted Stock Legend.
(h) The Company shall not permit any Note or share of Common Stock issued upon the conversion
or exchange of a Note that is purchased or owned by the Company or any
Affiliate thereof to be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the
Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Notes or Common Stock, as the case may be, no
longer being restricted securities (as defined under Rule 144). If the legend is removed from
the face of a Note and the Note is subsequently held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company,
the legend shall be reinstated.

held by or on behalf of the Depositary only, the Company may accomplish any
delegending of such

without further action on the part of Holders and (z) instructing the Trustee to take any actions
as may be necessary so that the restricted CUSIP number for the Notes shall be removed from the
Global Notes and replaced with an unrestricted CUSIP number. Immediately upon receipt of such
notice by the Trustee the Restricted Notes Legend will be deemed removed from each of the Global
Notes specified in such notice and the restricted CUSIP number will be deemed removed from each of
such Global Notes and deemed replaced with an unrestricted CUSIP number; and
(ii) providing the Depositary an instruction letter for the Depositarys mandatory exchange
process (or any successor notice, form or action required pursuant to the Applicable Procedures) to
the extent required.
The Company shall promptly notify Holders that the Restricted Notes Legend has been removed or
deemed removed.
Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the
Holder of a Note claims that such Note has been lost, destroyed or stolen and such Holder provides
evidence of the loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, the Company
shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a replacement Note if the requirements
of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and such Holder satisfies any other
reasonable requirements of the Trustee. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in
the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent,
the Registrar and any co-Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.
The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.07, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in exchange for any mutilated
Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes
duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture except for those cancelled by the Trustee, those
delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the
Note; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount
of Notes have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any
Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any
such determination as to the presence of a quorum or upon any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which a Responsible Officer has been notified in
writing to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon
the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor, and the Trustee shall be protected
in relying upon an Officers Certificate to such effect. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes
outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination
(including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Article 6 and Article
9).
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona
fide purchaser; provided that in no event shall both the replaced Note and the new Note issued
under Section 2.07 be deemed to be outstanding at the same time..
If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on the Maturity Date, money or
securities sufficient to pay Notes payable on such date, then immediately after the Maturity Date,
such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on
such Notes shall cease to accrue, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes is made or
whether or not the Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and such Notes shall cease to be
convertible.
If a Note is converted in accordance with Article 10 and required to be cancelled
pursuant to Section 2.10, then from and after the time of conversion on the Conversion
Date, such Note shall cease to be outstanding and interest (including Additional Interest), if any,
shall cease to accrue on such Note.
Section 2.09 Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may
prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes (Temporary Notes). Temporary Notes
shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for Temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare
and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for Temporary
Notes.
Section 2.10 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion or
payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, conversion payment or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in
its customary manner. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has
redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to
Article 10.
Section 2.11 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name such Note is registered in the Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal, interest (including any Additional Interest) or the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price, for the purpose of conversion and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee and
their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.12 Transfer of Notes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or

(a) Provisions relating to transfers and exchanges:
(i) Transfer of Global Note. A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to
any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to
any such other Person may be registered; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any
transfer of a Note that is issued in exchange for a Global Note but is not itself a Global Note.
No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and
until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this
Section 2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Global Note effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section
2.12(a).
(ii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note for a Certificated
Note. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Certificated Note except:
(A) Certificated Notes shall be issued to all owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note
in exchange for such interests if:
(1) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such
Global Note and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 calendar days of
such notice; or
(2) the Company, at any time, in its sole discretion, executes and delivers to the Trustee and
the Registrar an Officers Certificate stating that the entire Global Note shall be so
exchangeable.
In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Note for Certificated Notes pursuant to
this clause (ii), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in
such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized
denominations.
(B) The owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be entitled to receive a
Certificated Note in exchange for such interest if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
Upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions from the Holder of a Global Note directing the
Registrar to (x) issue one or more Certificated Notes in the amounts specified to the owner of a
beneficial interest in such Global Note and (y) debit or cause to be debited an equivalent amount
of beneficial interest in such Global Note, subject to the Applicable Procedures:
(1) the Registrar shall notify the Company and the Trustee of such instructions, identifying
the owner and amount of such beneficial interest in such Global Note;
(2) the Company shall promptly execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, to such beneficial owner Certificated Note(s) in an equivalent amount to such
beneficial interest in such Global Note; and
(3) the Registrar shall decrease such Global Note by such amount in accordance with the
foregoing.
(iii) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. When Certificated Notes are presented to
the Registrar with a request: (x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Notes; or (y) to
exchange such Certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of Certificated
Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided,
however, that the Certificated Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:
(A) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing; and
(B) so long as such Notes are restricted securities (as defined under Rule 144), such Notes
are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) below, and are accompanied by the following
additional information and documents, as applicable:
(1) if such Certificated Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for
registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that
effect; or
(2) if such Certificated Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that
effect; or
(3) if such Certificated Notes are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from
registration, (i) a certification to that effect (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B,
if applicable) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to it or other evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it
as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend thereon.
(iv) Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global
Note. A Certificated Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except
upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by
appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:
(A) so long as the Notes are Restricted Notes, certification, in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B, that such Certificated Note is being transferred to a QIB in accordance with
Rule 144A; and
(B) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an
adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to
contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the
Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Note and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in
accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the
Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased
by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Note to be exchanged, and shall credit or
cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial
interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Note so cancelled.
If no Global Notes are then outstanding, the Company shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of a Company
Order, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.
(b) Subject to the succeeding Section 2.12(c), every Note shall be subject to the
restrictions on transfer provided in Section 2.06(f), including the delivery of an Opinion
of Counsel, if so required. Whenever any Restricted Note is presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or for exchange for a Note registered in a name other than that of the
Holder, such Note must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B, dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Note, as to
compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for
such registration of transfer or exchange any Note not so accompanied by a properly completed
certificate.
(c) The restrictions imposed by Sections 2.06(f) upon the transferability of any Note
shall cease and terminate when such Note has been sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 or, if earlier, upon
the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 by a Person other
than an Affiliate or a former Affiliate. Any Note as to which such restrictions on transfer shall
have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of
such
Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12
(accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a
transfer in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision, by an opinion of counsel having
substantial experience in practice under the Securities Act and otherwise reasonably acceptable in
form and substance to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of
such Note has been made in compliance with Rule 144), be exchanged for a new Note, of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the legends required by Section
2.01(e). The Company shall inform the Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Free Trade
Date and promptly after a registration statement with respect to the Notes or any shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel or registration statement.
(d) The provisions of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) below shall apply only to Global
Notes:
(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, a Global Note shall
not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Note registered in the name of any Person other than the
Depositary or one or more nominees thereof; provided that a Global Note may be exchanged for Notes
registered in the name of any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the
Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
such Global Note or such Depositary has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 calendar days or
(B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. Any Global Note
exchanged pursuant to clause (A) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any
Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (B) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time
in part as directed by the Depositary.
Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note;
provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the
Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.
(ii) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be issued in
definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal
amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered
in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall
bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Note to be exchanged in whole shall be
surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Note to be
exchanged in part, either such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee
is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, the
principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such
surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Note issuable on such
exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.
(iii) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(e), the Holder may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through
Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the
Notes.
(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (i) above, the
Company will promptly upon request make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of
Certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.
(v) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the
Depositary.
(e) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the Agent
Members) nor any other Persons on whose behalf any Agent Member may act shall have any rights
under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or
any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Note, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case
may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as
the absolute owner and holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. The Trustee shall
have no responsibility or obligation to any Agent Members or any other Person on whose behalf Agent
Members may act with respect to (i) any ownership interests in the Global Note, (ii) the accuracy
of the records of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) any notice required hereunder or (iv) any
payments under or with respect to the Global Note. 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
such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any
other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such
Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. The registered Holder of a
Global Note 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 Indenture or the Notes.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect
to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members
or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and
when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.
(a) The Company, in issuing the Notes, will use restricted CUSIP and ISIN numbers for such
Notes (if then generally in use) until such time as the Restricted Notes Legend is removed pursuant
to Section 2.06(i). At such time as the Restricted Notes Legend is removed from such Notes
pursuant to Section 2.06(i), the Company will use an unrestricted CUSIP
number for such
Note, but only with respect to the Notes from which the Restricted Notes Legend is so removed. The
Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any
defect in the CUSIP or ISIN number that appears on any Note, check, advice of payment or redemption
notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee in writing in the event of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.13(b), the Company, upon issuing
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes, will use a restricted CUSIP number for such shares
of Common Stock. Until such time as the Restricted Stock Legend is removed pursuant to Section
2.06(g) or otherwise from such shares of Common Stock, the applicable restricted CUSIP number
will be the CUSIP number for such shares of Common Stock. At such time as the Restrictive Stock
Legend is removed from such shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.06(g) or
otherwise, an unrestricted CUSIP number for such shares of Common Stock will be deemed to be the
CUSIP number for such shares of Common Stock, but only with respect to the shares of Common Stock
from which the Restrictive Stock Legend is so removed.

the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment
Date to which it relates, if the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to repurchase on the

The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption

any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the applicable due date,
such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on

If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the

filed via the EDGAR system, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no responsibility
whatsoever to determine whether such filing via the EDGAR system has occurred.
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustees receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Companys compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely conclusively on an Officers Certificate).
Section 4.03 Additional Interest.
(a) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is
six months after the Issue Date and ending on the Free Trade Date, the Company fails to timely file
any periodic report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to any extensions under Rule 12b-25
under the Exchange Act and other than current reports on Form 8-K), the Company shall pay
Additional Interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum on the Notes, accruing from the due date of the
first missed filing that gives rise to such obligation and continuing through the earlier of (i)
the Free Trade Date and (ii) the date all such missed filings have been made.
(b) In addition, if the Notes or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Notes do not become Freely Tradable by no later than the date 15 calendar days following the Free
Trade Date (or the next succeeding Business Day if such 15th day is not a Business Day),
the Company will pay Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum from,
and
including, the Free Trade Date and until the date on which the Notes and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Notes become Freely Tradable.
(c) Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 4.03 will be in addition
to any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 6.02(b). Whenever Additional
Interest is accruing on a Regular Record Date, the Company will pay all accrued and unpaid
Additional Interest to the Holders of record on such Regular Record Date on the corresponding
Interest Payment Date. If Additional Interest is not accruing on a Regular Record Date, but has
accrued since the immediately preceding Regular Record Date, the Company shall pay any accrued and
unpaid Additional Interest on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to the later Regular Record
Date to Holders of record on such later Regular Record Date.
In the event that the Company is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders, the Company
shall provide a direction or order in the form of a written notice to the Paying Agent of the
Companys obligation to pay such Additional Interest no later than three Business Days prior to the
date on which any such Additional Interest is scheduled to be paid. Such notice shall set forth
the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date and direct the
Paying Agent to make payment to the extent it receives funds from the Company to do so. The
Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine
whether the Additional Interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculation of
the amount of the Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such
calculation of the Additional Interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.03, in no event will the Company be
required to pay Additional Interest on any date on which:
(i)(1) the Company has filed a shelf registration statement for the resale of the Notes and
any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, (2) such shelf registration
statement is effective and usable by Holders identified therein as selling securityholders for the
resale of the Notes and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes, (3) the
Holders may register the resale of their Notes under such shelf registration statement on terms
customary for the resale of convertible securities offered in reliance on Rule 144A, and (4) the
Notes and/or shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to such shelf registration statement become
Freely Tradable as a result of such sale; or
(ii) the Company has complied with the requirements set forth in the foregoing clause (i) for
a period of two years.
The accrual of Additional Interest will be the exclusive remedy available to Holders for the
failure of the Notes to become Freely Tradable on the Free Trade Date.
Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120
calendar days after the end of each fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31,
2011) of the Company an Officers Certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the
signers thereof, there has occurred a Default during the previous fiscal year.
Section 4.05 Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will
execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably
necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.
Section 4.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in New York, New
York, an office or agency of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent where Notes
may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, repurchase, redemption or conversion and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The office of Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, at 45 Broadway, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10006, Attention:
Corporate Trust ServicesAdministrator for BroadSoft, Inc. 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due
2018, shall initially be such office or agency for all of the aforesaid purposes. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location,
of any such office or agency (other than a change in the location of the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee). If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section
13.01.
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in
New York, New York for such purposes.
Section 4.07 Delivery of Certain Information. At any time when the Company is not subject to
Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the Company no longer files such reports with the SEC,
the Company shall furnish to Holders, beneficial owners and prospective purchasers of the Notes or
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, upon their request, the information
required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
Section 4.08 Par Value Limitation. The Company shall not take any action that, after giving
effect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 10.04, would result in the issuance of shares
of Common Stock for less than the par value of such shares of Common Stock.
Section 4.09 Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee,
within 30 calendar days after becoming aware of the occurrence of any Default or any Event of
Default under this Indenture, an Officers Certificate (which Officers Certificate shall not be
required to include such statements included in Section 13.03) specifying with
particularity such Default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Company has
taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

which default results:

(i) the Company shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation,

the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any substantial part of its property, or

(j) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or any of

official of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any substantial part of its
property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a
period of 90 consecutive calendar days.
Section 6.02 Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment.
(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then
in every such case (except as provided in the immediately following paragraph) the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the
principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all such Notes to be due and payable immediately,
by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any
such declaration such principal and all accrued interest thereon (including any Additional
Interest) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of, and
accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) on, all of the Notes shall become immediately
due and payable without any declaration or other Act of the Holders or any act on the part of the
Trustee.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Companys elects, the sole remedy for an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) relating to failure by the Company to comply
with its obligations pursuant to Section 4.02 or Section 4.07 (the Companys
Filing Obligations), shall after the occurrence of such Event of Default (which will be the 61st
calendar day after written notice is provided to the Company of the Default pursuant to Section
6.01(f)), consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest at a rate equal to
(i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes for each day during the
180-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing, beginning on, and including, the date
on which such an Event of Default first occurs and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of
the outstanding Notes for each day during the 185-day period beginning on, and including, the
181st calendar day on which such an Event of Default is continuing. On the 366th
calendar day immediately following such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the
Companys Filing Obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 366th day), the Notes will be
subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02(a). This provision will not affect the
rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. Such Additional
Interest, if so elected by the Company pursuant to this paragraph, shall be payable in the same
manner and on the same dates as stated interest payable on the Notes. The Company may make such
election by notifying, in the manner provided for in Section 13.01, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the
Holders of such election prior to the beginning of such 365-day period. Upon the
Companys failure to timely give such notice, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration
as provided herein. If Additional Interest has been paid by the Company directly to the Persons
entitled to such Additional Interest, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate
setting forth the particulars of such payment.
In the event the Company does not elect to pay such Additional Interest or the Company elects
to make such payment but does not pay such Additional Interest when due, the Notes will be
immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02(a).
Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 6.02(b) will be in addition
to any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 4.03.
(c) This Section 6.02, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time
after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any
judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as
hereinafter provided, (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all Events of Defaults with respect to such Notes, other
than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on, or failure to deliver
amounts due upon conversion of, such Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration,
shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.04, then and in every such case the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to
the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the
Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall
affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.
No rescission or annulment referred to above shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.
Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, accrued and unpaid interest
(including Additional Interest), if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or
the Redemption Price on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or
this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not
produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive
of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Notes may waive, by written notice to the Trustee and without notice to any
other Holder, an existing or past default and its consequences except (a) an Event of Default
described in Sections 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) (other than any nonpayment of principal of
the Notes that has become due solely by reason of a declaration of acceleration, to the extent that
such declaration of acceleration is duly rescinded in accordance with this Indenture) (b) a default
in respect of a provision that, under Section 9.02, cannot be amended without the consent
of each Holder or (c) an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(c). When a Default is
waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any consequent right.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However,
the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or,
subject to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, that the Trustee determines is unduly
prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would potentially involve the Trustee in personal
liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the
Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all
losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. A Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(a) such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is
continuing;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have
requested the Trustee pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holders shall have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 calendar days after the receipt
of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(e) the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with
such request within such 60 calendar day period.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a
preference or priority over any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an
affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to
such Holders).
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture, the right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of payment of principal,
accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price, if applicable, or the Redemption Price, if applicable, on or after the respective
due dates expressed in such Holders Notes, and to convert the Notes in accordance with Article
10, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder and shall not be
subject to the requirements of Section 6.06.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing
(together with interest on any unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to the extent
lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.06.
Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors
or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the
Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions,
and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make
payments to the Trustee and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.06.
Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article
6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.06;
SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, accrued and
unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, payment of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price, if applicable, or payment of the Redemption Price, if applicable, as the
case may be, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts
due and payable on the Notes; and
THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10. At least 15 calendar days before such record date, the Company shall mail to
each Holder and the Trustee a notice, in the manner provided for in Section 13.01, that
states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.
Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder
pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes.
Section 6.12 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company (to the extent it may
lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage
of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law
had been enacted.

capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its
affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that
the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 calendar
days or resign. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-Registrar may do the same with
like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10.
Section 7.04 Trustees Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no
representation as to the validity, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall
not be accountable for the Companys use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be
responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustees certificate of
authentication.
Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to a Responsible
Officer (or written notice of it is received by the Trustee) the Trustee shall mail to each Holder
notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 calendar days after it occurs; provided,
however, that except in the case of a Default described in Section 6.01(a), (b) or
(c), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long it in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.
Section 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time
to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon from time to time in writing for its services.
The Trustees compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition
to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation,
fees and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustees agents, counsel, accountants and
experts. The Company shall fully indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against
any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee shall
notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee
to so notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which a Responsible
Officer has actually received written notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Company. The
Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. If the Trustee is
advised by counsel in writing that it may have available to it defenses which are in conflict with
the defenses available to the Company, then the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the
Trustees own willful misconduct or negligence. The Company need not pay for any settlement made
by the Trustee without the Companys consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All
indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, custodians, successors and assigns.
(b) To secure the Companys payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee and
(only to the extent applicable) any predecessor Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all
money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to
pay the principal, accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, or the Redemption Price, if applicable, on
particular Notes.
(c) The Companys payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Trustee and the Discharge of this Indenture. In the event that the
Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or
Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.
Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may resign at any time by notifying
the Company in writing at least 30 calendar days prior to the proposed effective date of such
resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
may remove the Trustee by notifying the Trustee in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:
(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09;
(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;
(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding or if a vacancy exists in the office of
Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring
Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
(c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall upon payment of all of its costs and the costs of its agents
and counsel promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject
to the lien provided for in Section 7.06.
(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 calendar days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition at the expense of the Company
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder, fails to comply with Section
7.09, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the
Companys obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring
Trustee.
Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to,
another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or
banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.
(b) In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to
the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes
shall have been
authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Trustee.
Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification. There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder
that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America
or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power,
that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published
annual report of condition.
Section 7.10 Trustees Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the
Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in
writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date
on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee
shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in
accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such
application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of
the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in
writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the
case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such
application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

deposited for conversion (after all related Observation Periods have elapsed) and the Company shall
have delivered to the Holders cash and (in the case of conversion) shares of Common Stock, as
applicable, sufficient to pay, all amounts owing in respect of all Notes (other than any Notes

and if in either case (1) or (2) the Company shall also pay or deliver or cause to be paid or
delivered all other sums payable and shares of Common Stock deliverable hereunder by the Company,

to be of further effect with respect to the Notes (except as to (i)
remaining rights of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange and conversion of Notes,
(ii) rights hereunder of Holders to receive from the Trustee payments of the amounts and any shares
of Common Stock then due, including interest (and any Additional Interest) with respect to the
Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries hereof solely with
respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee and (iii) the rights, obligations and
immunities of the Trustee, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent and the

Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 8.03 and at the cost
and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and
discharging this Indenture with respect to the Notes (such event, the Discharge); provided,
however, the Company hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying
Agent, the Conversion Agent and the Registrar for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and
properly incurred by the Trustee, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent
and the Registrar and to compensate the Trustee, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying Agent, the
Conversion Agent and the Registrar for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by
the Trustee, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent and the Registrar in
connection with this Indenture.
Section 8.02 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money
to the Holders entitled thereto by reason of any order or judgment of any court of governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Companys
obligations under this Indenture shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money in accordance with this Indenture and the Notes to the Holders entitled
thereto; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal amount of, or
interest on, 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 held
by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.
Section 8.03 Officers Certificate; Opinion of Counsel. Upon any application or demand by the
Company to the Trustee to take any action under Section 8.01, the Company shall furnish to
the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an

Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with.
ARTICLE 9

For purposes of Section 9.01(10) above, the Trustee may rely on an Officers
Certificate in determining that the changes effected in an amendment or supplement are made to
conform the provisions of this Indenture to the Description of Notes section in the Offering
Circular.
The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the
proposed amendment. After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Holders a notice, in the manner provided for in Section 13.01,
briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any
defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section
9.01.
Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. With the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection
with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, the Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder
affected, an amendment to this Indenture or the Notes may not:
(1) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding whose
Holders must consent to an amendment;
(2) reduce the rate, or extend the stated time for payment, of interest (including
Additional Interest, if any) on any Note;

Additional Interest, if any) in respect of any Note;

respect to such Holders Notes;
(8) adversely affect the ranking of the Notes as senior unsecured indebtedness of
the Company; or
(9) make any change to the provisions of Section 6.04, this Section
9.02 or Section 9.03.
The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the
proposed amendment. After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Holders a notice, in the manner provided for in Section 13.01,
briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all such Holders, or any
defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section
9.02.
Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions. A consent to an
amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of
that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Note, even
if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such
Holders Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before
the date the supplemental indenture setting forth the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After
an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver
becomes effective in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture, which shall become
effective upon the execution thereof by the Trustee.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or
required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then
those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or
to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.
No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 calendar days after such record
date.
Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 9 may, and shall if
required
by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided
for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee in exchange for outstanding Notes.
Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. Upon the written request of the
Company, the Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article
9 if the amendment contained therein does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such supplemental
indenture. In signing such supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with, and
(subject to the provisions of Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively
relying upon, an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
Section 9.06 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture under this Article 9, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith,
and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every
Holder theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.
ARTICLE 10
CONVERSIONS
Section 10.01 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any of the conditions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)
of this Section 10.01(a), and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article
10, a Holder shall have the right, at such Holders option, to convert all or any portion (if
the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of its Notes at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day
immediately preceding April 1, 2018, at a rate (the Conversion Rate) of 23.8126 shares of Common
Stock (subject to adjustment by the Company as provided in Section 10.04) per $1,000
principal amount of the Notes (the Conversion Obligation) under the circumstances and during the
periods set forth below. On and after April 1, 2018, regardless of such conditions and upon
compliance with the provisions of this Article 10, a Holder shall have the right, at such
Holders option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal
amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of its Notes at the applicable
Conversion Rate at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day
immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
(i) Prior to the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding April 1,
2018, a Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Notes in $1,000 principal amount or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for conversion during the five Business Day period
immediately after any ten consecutive Trading Day period (the Measurement Period) in which the
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes 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 and the
applicable Conversion Rate for the Notes for such Trading Day (the Trading Price Condition)
subject to compliance with the procedures and conditions described below concerning the Trustees
obligation to make a Trading Price determination. In connection with any conversion upon
satisfaction of the Trading Price Condition, the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to
determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in
writing, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the
Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price of the Notes would be less than 98% of the
product of (a) the applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and (b) the Last Reported Sale Price of
the Common Stock at such time and requests in writing that the Company require the Bid Solicitation
Agent to begin determining the Trading Price of the Notes. At such time, the Company shall
instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent, in writing, to determine the Trading Price of the Notes
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the date on which the
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product
of (a) the applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and (b) the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock. If the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders,
the Bid Solicitation Agent and the Trustee. If, at any time after the Trading Price Condition has
been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes is greater than 98% of the
product of (a) the applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and (b) the Last Reported Sale Price of
the Common Stock on such date, the Company shall so notify the
Holders, the Bid Solicitation Agent and the Trustee, and the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have
no further obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless requested by the Company
to do so again in writing pursuant to this clause (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bid
Solicitation Agent cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $1.0 million principal amount of
the Notes from a nationally recognized securities dealer selected by the Board of Directors for the
purpose of determining the Trading Price on any Trading Day, then the Trading Price per $1,000
principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of (a) the applicable
Conversion Rate of the Notes and (b) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such date
(any such determination by the Bid Solicitation Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error).
Furthermore, if the Company does not, when obligated to do so pursuant to this clause (i), instruct
the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes, or if the Company so
instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent, but the Bid Solicitation Agent does not make such
determination, then the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to
be less than 98% of the product of (a) the applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and (b) the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such date.
(ii) Prior to the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding April
1, 2018, a Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Notes in $1,000 principal amount or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for conversion during any calendar quarter after the
calendar quarter ending September 30, 2011 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for 20 or more Trading Days in a period of 30 consecutive
Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds
130% of the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the last Trading Day of the immediately
preceding calendar quarter.
(iii) The Notes shall be convertible prior to April 1, 2018, as provided in Sections
10.01(a)(iii)(A), (B) and (C).
(A) In the event that the Company, prior to April 1, 2018, elects to:
(1) issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling
them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the record date for such distribution,
to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and
including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or
(2) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets (including cash) or
debt securities of the Company or rights to purchase the Companys securities, which distribution
has a per share value (as determined by the Board of Directors) exceeding 10% of the Last Reported
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of declaration of
such distribution,
then, in either case, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion, in $1,000 principal amount
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at any time on and after the date that the
Company provides the notice to such Holders referred to in the next sentence until the earlier of
the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such
distribution or the date the Company announces that such distribution will not take place, even if
the Notes are not otherwise convertible at that time. The Company shall notify Holders and the
Trustee in writing of any distribution referred to in either clause (1) or (2) of this Section
10.01(a)(iii)(A) and of the resulting conversion right no later than the 30th Scheduled Trading
Day prior to the Ex-Date for such issuance or distribution.
(B) If the Company is a party to a combination, merger, binding share exchange or sale or
conveyance of all or substantially all of its properties and assets (other than in any such
transaction that constitutes a Fundamental Change and/or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, in either
case, to which the provisions of Section 10.01(b) shall apply) in each case pursuant to
which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities and/or other property that does not
also constitute a Fundamental Change, then the Holders shall have the right to convert Notes, in
$1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at any time beginning
on the effective date of the transaction and ending on the 30th Scheduled Trading Day following the
effective date of such transaction. The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee in writing of
the occurrence of any transaction referred to in this Section 10.01(a)(iii)(B) no later
than the 4th Business Day following the effective date of such transaction).
(C) If the Company is a party to any transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental
Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a Holder may surrender Notes for conversion, in $1,000
principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at any time, after the
Company gives the notice referred to in the following sentence, until (i) the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date corresponding to such Fundamental Change or (ii) in the case of a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change that is not also a Fundamental Change, the 30th Trading Day following the
Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and, upon such surrender in connection with
such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Holder may be entitled to receive Additional Shares of
Common Stock, if any, as specified in
Section 10.01(b). The Company shall notify, in the
manner provided for in Section 13.01, Holders and the Trustee in writing of the occurrence
of the Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than four Business Days
following the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as
applicable, and shall issue a press release as promptly as practicable following such Effective
Date.
(iv) If the Company calls a Holders Notes for Optional Redemption pursuant to Article
12, such Holder shall have the right to convert such Holders Notes until the Close of Business
on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Redemption Date (or, if the Company
defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price in respect of such Optional Redemption, such date
on which such default is no longer continuing), after which time such right to convert will expire.
(b) Subject to Section 10.01(a)(iii)(C), if the Effective Date of a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert Notes in
connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Rate applicable to each $1,000
principal amount of Notes so surrendered for conversion shall be increased by a number of
additional shares of Common Stock (the Additional Shares) as described below. Settlement of
Notes tendered for conversion with respect to which Additional Shares shall be
added to the Conversion Rate as provided in this Section 10.01(b) shall be settled
pursuant to Section 10.02(c). For purposes of this Section 10.01(b), any conversion
of Notes shall be deemed to be in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change only if such
Notes are surrendered for conversion during the time period specified in Section
10.01(a)(iii)(C) with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (regardless of whether the
provisions of clauses (i), (ii) or (iv) of Section 10.01(a) or Section
10.01(a)(iii)(A) or (B) shall apply to such conversion).
(i) The number of Additional Shares shall be determined by the Company by reference to the
table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change and the Stock Price; provided that if the actual Stock Price is between two Stock Price
amounts 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 next higher and next lower Stock Price amounts and the two
nearest Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; provided, further, that if (1) the
Stock Price is greater than $120.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same
manner as the Conversion Prices are adjusted pursuant to Section 10.04), no Additional
Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate, and (2) the Stock Price is less than $35.74 per share
(subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Prices are adjusted pursuant to
Section 10.04), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion exceed 27.9798 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment in the same
manner as set forth in Section 10.04).
(ii) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be
adjusted by the Company as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted as set
forth in Section 10.04. 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 in effect immediately prior to the 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 within the table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as
set forth in Section 10.04.
Section 10.02 Exercise of Conversion Privilege.
(a) (i) The Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation with respect to each $1,000
principal amount of Notes tendered for conversion in cash and shares of fully paid Common Stock, if
applicable, by delivering, on the third VWAP Trading Day immediately following the last VWAP
Trading Day of the related Observation Period, cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to
the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 25 VWAP Trading Days during the related
Observation Period; provided that the Company shall deliver cash in lieu of any fractional share of
Common Stock as provided in Section 10.03. The Daily Settlement Amounts shall be determined
by the Company promptly following the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions described above in this Section 10.02(a), in
satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation, the Company may direct the Conversion Agent to
surrender, on or prior to the commencement of the Observation Period, such Notes to one or
more financial institutions designated by the Company for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order
to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the designated financial institution(s) must agree
to deliver, in exchange for such Notes, the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the
consideration due upon conversion (the Conversion Consideration) pursuant to this Section
10.02. By the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the start of
the Observation Period, the Company shall notify, in the manner provided in Section 13.01,
the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion that the Company has directed the designated financial
institution(s) to make an exchange in lieu of conversion and such financial institution(s) shall be
required to notify the Conversion Agent and such Holder whether it will deliver the Conversion
Consideration upon exchange. If the designated financial institution(s) accept any such Notes, they
shall deliver the Conversion Consideration in accordance with Section 10.02(c). Any Notes
exchanged by the designated financial institution(s) shall remain outstanding. If the designated
financial institution(s) agree to accept any Notes for exchange but do not timely deliver the
related Conversion Consideration, or if such designated financial institution(s) do not accept the
Notes for exchange, the Company shall, no later than the third VWAP Trading Day immediately
following the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Observation Period, convert the Notes into cash
and, if applicable, the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock due upon conversion pursuant
to this Section 10.02.
(b) Before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above, such
Holder shall (1) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in
effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest
Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 10.02(h) and, if
required, pay all taxes or duties required pursuant to Section 10.02(e), if any, and (2) in
the case of a Note issued in certificated form, (A) complete and manually sign and deliver an
irrevocable written notice to the Conversion Agent in the form set forth in the form of Note
attached hereto as Exhibit A hereto (or a facsimile thereof) (a Notice of Conversion) at
the office of the
Conversion Agent and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes
to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate
or certificates for any shares of Common Stock, if any, to be delivered upon settlement of the
Conversion Obligation to be registered, (B) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or
in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the
Conversion Agent, (C) if required, pay all taxes or duties required pursuant to Section
10.02(e), if any, and (D) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest
Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 10.02(h). A Note
shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the Close of Business on the date (the
Conversion Date) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in this Section
10.02(b).
No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be tendered by a Holder thereof if such
Holder has also tendered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and not validly withdrawn such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section
3.02(c).
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the
Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes, if any, that shall be payable upon
conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or
specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(c) Delivery of the amounts owing in satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation shall be made
by the Company in no event later than the date specified in Section 10.02(a). The Company
shall make such delivery by paying the cash amount owed to the Holder of the Note surrendered for
conversion, or such Holders nominee or nominees, and by issuing, or causing to be issued, and
delivering to such Holder, or such Holders nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry
transfer through the Depositary for the number of full shares of Common Stock, if any, to which
such Holder shall be entitled as part of such Conversion Obligation (together with cash in lieu of
any fractional share).
(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall, as provided in a Company Order, authenticate and deliver to or upon the
written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Note
or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted
portion of the surrendered Notes.
(e) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, subject to Section 10.07, the Company
shall pay all documentary, stamp and other similar issue or transfer taxes or duties, if any, which
may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority
thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock, if any, upon the
conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests any
shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holders name. The Company may refuse
to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other
than the Holders name until the Company receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due
because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the
Holders name. Nothing herein shall
preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.
(f) Except as provided in Section 10.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on
any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article
10.
(g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the
direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the
principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(h) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and
unpaid interest except as set forth below. The Companys settlement of the Conversion Obligation as
described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note
and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued
and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full
rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Notes
are converted after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the
Close of Business on the 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 corresponding Interest
Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest payable on the Notes
so converted; provided, however, that no such payment need be made (i) if the Company has called
Notes for Optional Redemption pursuant to Article 12; (ii) if the Company has specified a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date; (iii) to the extent of any overdue interest existing at the
time of conversion with respect to such Note; or (iv) with respect to any Conversion Date that
occurs during the period from the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately
preceding the Maturity Date to the Maturity Date. Except as described above, no payment or
adjustment shall be made for accrued interest on converted Notes.
Section 10.03 Fractions of Shares. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion
at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable
upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. No fractional share of Common Stock shall be
issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that
would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Notes (or specified portions thereof), the
Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the
nearest 1/100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Daily VWAP of the Common
Stock on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period.
Section 10.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time
to time by the Company as follows; provided that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the
Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (as a result of holding the
Notes, and at the
same time as holders of the Common Stock participate) in any of the transactions described below as
if such Holders held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate,
multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holders, without
having to convert their Notes:
(a) In case the Company shall exclusively issue shares of Common Stock as a dividend or
distribution on shares of Common Stock, or shall effect a share split or share combination, the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR´ | = | CRo | x | OS´ | ||||||||
OSo |
where,
CRo = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of
Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of
such share split or combination, as the case may be;
CR´ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such
Ex-Date or such effective date, as the case may be;
OSo = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Open of Business on such Ex-Date or such effective date, as the case may be;
and
OS´ = the number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately
after giving effect to such dividend or distribution or immediately after the
effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be.
Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made under this clause (a) shall become effective
immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the
effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in this Section 10.04(a) is declared but not so paid or
made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of
Directors (or a committee thereof) determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been
declared.
(b) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than
60 calendar days after the record date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than 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 such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based
on the following formula:
CR´ | = | CRo | x | OSo + X | ||||||||
OSo + Y |
where,
CRo = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of
Business on the Ex-Date for such issuance;
CR´ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such
Ex-Date;
OSo = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Open of Business on such Ex-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, option 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
such issuance.
Any increase made under this Section 10.04(b) will 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-Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of 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 warrants are not so
issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect
if such Ex-Date for such issuance had not occurred.
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common
Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company, evidences of its indebtedness or other
assets or property of the Company (excluding: (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to
which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 10.04(a) or (b); (ii)
dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant
to Section 10.04(d); (iii) rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan adopted by
the Company as described in Section 10.04(q); (iv) any dividends and distributions in
connection with a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale,
lease or other disposition resulting in a change in the conversion consideration pursuant to
Section 10.10; and (v) any dividend and distributions described below in this Section
10.04(c) with respect to Spin-Offs) (any such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or other assets or property, subject to clauses (i) (v) of the immediately
preceding parenthetical, the Distributed Property), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased
based on the following formula:
CR´ | = | CRo | x | SPo | ||||||||
SPo FMV |
where,
CRo = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of
Business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;
CR´ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such
Ex-Date;
SPo = 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 such Ex-Date; and
FMV = the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors (or a committee
thereof) of the Distributed Property to be distributed with respect to each
outstanding share of Common Stock as of such Ex-Date.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 10.04(c) above will become
effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such distribution. If such
distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion
Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
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 a Note 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, the amount and kind of Capital Stock of the Company,
evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or
warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities that such Holder would have
received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in
effect on the Ex-Date for the distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.04(c) where there has been a
payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of the
Company 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:
CR´ | = | CRo | x | FMVo + MPo | ||||||||
MPo |
where,
CRo = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of
Business on the effective date of such Spin-Off;
CR´ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such
effective date;
FMVo = 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 by reference to the Last Reported Sale Price set
forth above as if references therein to the Common Stock were to such Capital Stock
or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period
immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off (the
Valuation Period); and
MPo = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock
over the Valuation Period.
Such adjustment under the immediately preceding paragraph shall be determined immediately
after the last day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the Close of Business on
the effective date of the Spin-Off. If the effective date of the Spin-Off is less than 10 Trading
Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion,
references within the immediately preceding formula to 10 consecutive Trading
Days shall be deemed replaced, for purposes of calculating the affected daily Conversion Rates in
respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as shall elapse from, and
including, the effective date of the Spin-Off to, and including, the last VWAP Trading Day of such
Observation Period. For purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion
during the Valuation Period, references in the immediately preceding formula to 10 Trading Days
shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the
effective date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion
Rate.
(d) In case the Company shall pay any cash dividends or distributions to all or substantially
all holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR´ | = | CRo | x | SPo | ||||||||
SPo C |
where,
CRo = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of
Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR´ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such
Ex-Date;
SPo = the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding such Ex-Date; and
C = the amount in cash per share distributed to holders of shares of Common Stock in
such dividend or distribution.
Such increase shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for
such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion
Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof)
determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if C (as defined above) is equal to or greater than SPo (as defined
above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note 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 if such Holder owned a number
of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Date for such cash dividend or
distribution.
(e) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than an odd-lot tender offer), to the extent
that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common
Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10
consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the
last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the
Expiration Date), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR´ | = | CRo | x | AC + (SP´ x OS´) | ||||||||
OSo x SP´ |
where,
CRo = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of
Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
CR´ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the
Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration as determined by
the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) paid or payable for shares of Common
Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OSo = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the Expiration Date (before giving effect to such tender offer or exchange
offer);
OS´ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
Expiration Date (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and
SP´ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10
consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next
succeeding the Expiration Date.
Such increase in the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.04(e) shall be determined
as of the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date but will be
given effect as of the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. If
the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date is less than 10 consecutive Trading Days prior
to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion, references
within this Section 10.04(e) to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced, for
purposes of calculating the affected daily Conversion Rates in respect of that conversion, with
such lesser number of Trading Days as shall elapse from, and including, the Trading Day next
succeeding the Expiration Date to, and including, the last VWAP Trading Day of such Observation
Period. For purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the
10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date,
references within this Section 10.04(e) to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed
replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have
elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, but
excluding, the relevant Conversion Date.
For purposes of this Section 10.04 the term record date shall mean, with respect to
any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have
the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which shares of the Common Stock
(or other applicable security) are exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash,
securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by
statute, contract or otherwise).
(f) In addition to those required by Sections 10.04(a) through (e), and to the
extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global
Market, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period
of at least 20 calendar days if the Board of Directors determines (which determination shall be
conclusive) that such increase would be in the Companys best interest. Whenever the Conversion
Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall deliver to the Holder of
each Note, in the manner provided for in Section 13.01, a notice of such increase at least
15 calendar days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, in accordance with
applicable law, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during
which it will be in effect. In addition, subject to the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global
Market, the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or
diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection
with any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any adjustment to the Conversion Rate described in
Sections 10.04(a) through (e) becomes effective and, but for this provision, a
Holder that has converted its Notes would receive shares of Common Stock based on an adjusted
Conversion Rate and would be a record holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date,
effective date or expiration date for the dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to the
adjustment or otherwise participates in such dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to
the adjustment as a result of being treated as a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock,
then, in lieu of receiving shares of Common Stock at such an adjusted Conversion Rate, the Company
will adjust the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company will
deliver to such Holder as the Company determines is appropriate to reflect such Holders
participation in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.
(h) If any dividend, distribution or issuance described above is declared but not so paid or
made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would have been in
effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. If the application of any
of the foregoing formulas (other than in connection with a share combination or a readjustment
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or a readjustment set forth under Section
10.04(a)-(e)) would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the
Conversion Rate will be made.
(i) Except as stated in this Indenture, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for
the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or
exchangeable securities.
(j) Without limiting the foregoing Section 10.04(i), no adjustment to the Conversion
Rate need 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 securities of the Company 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 shares
of Common Stock 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) above and
outstanding as of the date of this Indenture;
(iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(v) for accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest).
(k) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 10 shall be made by
the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000)
of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for the Companys issuance of Common
Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Common Stock or convertible
or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 10.04. No adjustment
shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1%
in the Conversion Rate then in effect at such time. The Company shall carry forward any adjustments
that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless
of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1% (1) annually, on the anniversary of the Issue
Date and (2) upon conversion of any Note (and on each VWAP Trading Day of the related Observation
Period). Except as described in this Section 10.04 or in Section 10.01(b), the
Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate.
(l) In any case in which this Section 10.04 provides that an adjustment shall become
effective immediately after (1) the Ex-Date for an event or (2) the last date on which tenders or
exchanges may be made pursuant to any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 10.04(e)
(each, an Adjustment Determination Date), the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of
the applicable Adjustment Event (x) issuing to the Holder of any Note converted after such
Adjustment Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the additional
cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion
by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the amounts
deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and
(y) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section
10.03. For purposes of this Section 10.04(l), the term Adjustment Event shall mean:
(i) in any case referred to in clause (1), the date any dividend or distribution of Common
Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or cash is paid
or made, the effective date of any share split or combination or the date of expiration of any
rights or warrants, and
(ii) in any case referred to in clause (2), the date a sale or exchange of Common Stock
pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable.
(m) For purposes of this Section 10.04, subject to Section 10.04(c) hereof, the number
of shares outstanding at any time will include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates
issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock, but, 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,
will not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(n) With respect to a conversion of Notes pursuant to this Article 10, at and after
the Close of Business on the last VWAP Trading Day (the Relevant Date ) of the related
Observation Period, the Person in whose name any certificate representing any shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record of
the Company on such Relevant Date. On and after the Conversion Date with respect to a conversion of
Notes pursuant hereto, all rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate, other than the
right to receive the consideration deliverable upon conversion of such Notes as provided herein. A
Holder of a Note is not entitled, as such, to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until, if such
Holder converts such Note and is entitled pursuant hereto to receive shares of Common Stock in
respect of such conversion, the Close of Business on the Relevant Date or respective Relevant
Dates, as the case may be, with respect to such conversion.
(o) Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last
Reported Sale Price, the Daily VWAP, the Daily Conversion Value and/or the Daily Settlement Amount
over a span of multiple days (including with respect to an Observation Period and/or the Stock
Price), the Company shall make appropriate adjustments (determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors), to the extent no corresponding adjustment is otherwise made pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 10.04, 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-Date of
the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Last Reported Sale Price, Daily VWAP,
Daily Conversion Value and/or Daily Settlement Amount is to be calculated.
(p) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Notes to the contrary, no adjustment shall be
made to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate (as a result of holding the Notes, and at the
same time as holders of Common Stock participate) in any of the transactions set forth in
Sections 10.04(a) through (e) as if such Holders of the Notes held a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount
(expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holders, without having to convert their Notes.
(q) To the extent that the Company has a preferred stock rights plan in effect upon conversion
of the Notes into Common Stock, Holders will receive, in addition to any Common Stock, the rights
under the rights plan, unless prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the Common
Stock, in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the
Company distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of
indebtedness or assets as described in clause Section 10.04(c) above, subject to
readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 10.05 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate is
adjusted as herein provided:
(a) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section
10.04 and shall prepare an Officers Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate
shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent (if other than the
Trustee); and
(b) upon each such adjustment, the Company shall provide a notice to all Holders, in the
manner provided for in Section 13.01, stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted
and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate.
Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with
respect to any such certificate or the information and calculations contained therein, except to
exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business
hours.
Section 10.06 Company to Reserve Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for
the purpose of effecting the conversion of Notes, the full number of shares of Common Stock then
issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Notes.
Section 10.07 Taxes on Conversions. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company shall
pay any and all taxes and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares
of Common Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required
to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of (i) income of the Holder, or (ii) any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of
the Holder of the Note or Notes to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless
and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or
duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.
Section 10.08 Certain Covenants. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate that would
result in reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Company shall take all corporate action which it
reasonably determines may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue such
shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes shall be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and
changes with respect to the issue thereof.
The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed for trading
on any other national securities exchange the Company shall, if permitted and required by the rules
of such exchange, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such
exchange, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 10.09 Cancellation of Converted Notes. All Notes delivered for conversion (other than
Notes that are to be exchanged pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(iii)) shall be delivered to the
Trustee or its agent and canceled by the Trustee as provided in Section 2.10.
Section 10.10 Provision in Case of Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
In the event of any:
(a) reclassification of the Common Stock;
(b) consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company; or
(c) sale or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the consolidated
assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; in which holders of the outstanding Common Stock would be entitled to receive cash, securities or
other property (including cash or any combination thereof) for their shares of Common Stock (each
such event, a Merger Event), then at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, subject
to the provisions of Section 10.01, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of
Notes into cash and shares of the Common Stock, if any, will be changed into the right to convert
each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into cash and Units of Reference Property, subject to the
immediately following sentence, based on the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property
(including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of the Common Stock
equal to the Conversion Rate then in effect immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned
or otherwise been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Merger Event (the type, amount
and kind (and in the same proportions) of such cash, securities or other property, the Reference
Property with respect to such Merger Event, and the Reference Property that a holder of one share
of the Common Stock would have received in such Merger Event, a Unit of Reference Property). In
particular, after such effective time, a Holder converting its Notes will receive:
(i) the amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes as set forth in
Section 10.01 or 10.02 hereof will continue to be payable in cash; and
(ii) in lieu of each share of the Common Stock, if any, otherwise deliverable upon conversion
as set forth in Section 10.01 or 10.02, a Unit of Reference Property.
the Daily Conversion Value, the Daily VWAP and the Last Reported Sale Price will, to the extent
possible, be calculated on the value of a Unit of Reference Property.
For purposes of this Section 10.10, in the case of a Merger Event that causes the Common
Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (based in
part upon any form of stockholder election), a Unit of Reference Property will be deemed to be (i)
the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the
Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election or (ii) if no holders of the Common Stock
affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by
such holders, in each case, per share of Common Stock. The Company will notify Holders of the
weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is
made.
The Company and the Trustee (and any Successor Person, if applicable) shall, concurrently with
the effective time of the Merger Event, execute a supplemental indenture to effect the requirements
therefor pursuant to this Indenture. If the Reference Property for such Merger Event includes
shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Company, for such Merger
Event, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental indenture and such supplemental
indenture will contain whatever additional provisions the Board of Directors considers to be
reasonably necessary to protect the Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of
such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, in the manner provided for in Section
13.01, within 20 calendar days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall
not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
In the event a supplemental indenture is executed pursuant to this Section 10.10, the
Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers Certificate briefly stating the reasons
therefor, the type, amount and kind of cash, securities or property that will constitute the
Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and
that all conditions precedent have been complied with.
The above provisions of this Section 10.10 shall similarly apply to any successive
Merger Event.
Section 10.11 Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. The Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 7.02, and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any
duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any
adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment
when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental indenture provided
to be employed, in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into.
Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, nor any Conversion Agent
shall 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 or cash, which may at any time be issued or
delivered upon the conversion of any Notes; and it or they do not make any representation with
respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, nor any
Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash
payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other
securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion; and
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, and any Conversion Agent shall not
be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company
contained in this Article 10.
Section 10.12 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 to the
Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.04;
(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 Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
(if other than the Trustee) and to be mailed to each Holder at its address appearing on the
Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 10 calendar days prior to the
applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) 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 (ii) 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 action by the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Section 10.13 Limit on Issuance of Shares of Common Stock upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, if an event occurs that would
result in an increase in the Conversion Rate by an amount in excess of limitations imposed by any
shareholder approval rules or listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market that are
applicable to
the Company, the Company will, at its option, either obtain stockholder approval of any issuance of
Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes in excess such limitations or deliver cash in lieu of any
shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversions in excess of such limitations based
on the Daily VWAP on each VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period in respect of which,
in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the Company delivers cash pursuant to this
Section 10.13.
ARTICLE 11
PAYMENT OF INTEREST
Section 11.01 Payment of Interest. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes at a rate of 1.50% per
annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year (each, an Interest
Payment Date) or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day,
commencing on January 1, 2012. Interest on a Note shall be paid to the Holder in whose name such
Note was registered at the Close of Business on June 15 or December 15 (each, a Regular Record
Date), whether or not a Business Day, as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant
Interest Payment Date, and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve
30-day months. Payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Redemption Price, principal and
interest that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest
rate from the required payment date. If the Conversion Date for a Note occurs after a Regular
Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Holder of such Note on such Regular Record Date
notwithstanding the conversion of such Note.
Section 11.02 Defaulted Interest. Any installment of interest that is payable, but is not punctually paid
or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (Defaulted Interest), shall forthwith cease to
be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Regular Record Date
applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such
Defaulted Interest) may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in Section
11.02(a) or (b).
(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on
such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of
Business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a Special Record
Date), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid and the date of the proposed
payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal
to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to
such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 11.02(a). Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the
proposed payment and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice
of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
Record Date
and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be provided in the manner provided
for in Section 13.01, not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Holders in whose
names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to Section 11.02(b).
(b) Alternatively, the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any
interest on such Defaulted Interest) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as
may be required by such exchange if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this Section 11.02(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.
Section 11.03 Interest Rights Preserved. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 11
and, to the extent applicable, Section 2.06 and Section 2.07, each Note delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by
such other Note.
ARTICLE 12
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
Section 12.01 Right to Redeem.
(i) Beginning July 1, 2015, the Company may, at its option, redeem any or all of the Notes,
except for the Notes that the Company is required to repurchase pursuant to Article 3, if
the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for 20 or more Trading Days in the period of 30
consecutive Trading Day ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the
Company provides notice of such redemption exceeds 140% of the applicable Conversion Price in
effect on each such Trading Day (such redemption, an Optional Redemption).
(ii) If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the redemption
price (the Redemption Price) shall be payable in cash and shall be equal to 100% of the principal
amount of Notes being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including,
the Redemption Date (or, in the case of a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption
Price, the day on which such Default is no longer continuing), plus the applicable Make-Whole
Premium in connection with such Optional Redemption; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing or Section 12.01(iv), if Notes are redeemed on a
date that is after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the Close of
Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest payable in respect of
such Interest Payment Date shall not be payable to Holders of the Notes to whom the Principal
Amount of the Notes being redeemed pursuant to the Optional Redemption is paid, and shall instead
pay the full amount of the relevant interest payment on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of
record on the relevant Regular Record Date for the corresponding Interest Payment Date and the
Make-Whole Premium payment made on such Notes to converting or redeeming
Holders shall equal the
present values of all remaining interest payments, starting with the next Interest Payment Date for
which interest has not been provided for pursuant to this Section 12.01, calculated as
described pursuant to this Section 12.01.
(iii) No Notes may be redeemed by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption if (x) the
principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded,
on or prior to the Redemption Date and/or (y) the Company has failed to pay any interest due on the
Notes and such failure to pay is continuing.
(iv) If the Company redeems Notes as provided in this Section 12.01, the Company shall
make a payment (the Make-Whole Premium) in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash
and shares of Common Stock, at the Companys option, equal to the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the Notes to be redeemed had
such Notes remained outstanding from the Redemption Date to the Maturity Date (excluding interest
accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (or, in the case of a Default by the Company in the
payment of the Redemption Price, the day on which such Default is no longer continuing) which is
otherwise paid pursuant to Section 12.01(ii)). The present values of the remaining
interest payments will be computed using a discount rate equal to 2.5%. If the Company elects to
pay some or all of the Make-Whole Premium in shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of
Common Stock a Holder will receive shall be that number of shares that have a value equal to the
amount of the Make-Whole Premium payment to be paid to such Holder in shares of Common Stock,
divided by the product of the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the
five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, and including, the third Trading Day prior to
the date of the Optional Redemption multiplied by 97.5%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may only elect to pay the Make-Whole Premium in shares of Common Stock to the extent the
payment of the Make-Whole Premium would comply with the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global
Market or any stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or other shares of Capital Stock
of the Company are then listed, as applicable. The Company shall make these Make-Whole Premium
payments on all Notes called for Optional Redemption prior to the Maturity Date, including Notes
subject to Optional Redemption that are converted after the date the Company delivers the notice of
such Optional Redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company sets a Redemption Date
between a Regular Record Date and the corresponding interest payment date, we will not pay accrued
interest to any redeeming holder, and will instead pay the full amount of the relevant interest
payment on such interest payment date to the holder of record on such a Regular Record Date.
(v) Except as provided in this Section 12.01, the Notes shall not be redeemable by the
Company.
Section 12.02 Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to
an Optional Redemption, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed (in principal amounts of
$1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) by lot, or on a pro rata basis or by any
other method the Trustee considers reasonable and in accordance with Applicable Procedures (so long
as such method is not prohibited by the rules of The NASDAQ Global Market or any stock exchange on
which the shares of Common Stock or other shares of Capital Stock of the Company are then listed,
as applicable); provided however that no Note of a
principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be
redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection within 7 days from its receipt of the
Notice of Optional Redemption from the Company delivered pursuant to Section 12.03 from
outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.
Section 12.03 Notice of Optional Redemption. Not more than 60 calendar days but not less than 28 Scheduled
Trading Days prior to a Redemption Date in connection with an Optional Redemption, the Company
shall mail a written notice of redemption (a Notice of Optional Redemption) by first-class mail,
postage prepaid (in the case of Notes held in book entry form, by electronic transmission), to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at their addresses set forth in
the Register.
The Notice of Optional Redemption shall specify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the Redemption Price
(iii) the Applicable Conversion Rate and Applicable Conversion Price;
(iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;
(v) that Notes called for redemption may be converted at any time before the Close of Business
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the
Redemption Price, such date on which the Company pays the Redemption Price), at which time the
right of the Holder to convert such Notes called for redemption will expire;
(vi) that Holders who want to convert Notes must satisfy the requirements set forth therein
and in this Indenture;
(vii) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent for
cancellation to collect the Redemption Price;
(viii) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers (if
such Notes are held other than in global form) and Principal Amounts of the particular Notes to be
redeemed;
(ix) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Redemption Price, interest
will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and
(x) the CUSIP number of the Notes.
At the Companys written request delivered at least 5 Business Days prior to the date such
Notice of Optional Redemption is to be given (unless a shorter time period shall be acceptable to
the Trustee), the Trustee shall give the Notice of Optional Redemption to each Holder of Notes to
be redeemed in the Companys name and at the Companys expense.
Section 12.04 Effect of Notice of Optional Redemption. Once a Notice of Optional Redemption is given, Notes
called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price
stated in the Notice of Optional Redemption except for Notes that are converted in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the
Redemption Price stated in the Notice of Optional Redemption.
Section 12.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price with respect to any Notes for which a Notice of Optional Redemption has been given, then,
immediately on and after the Redemption Date, interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue, whether
or not the Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and all other rights of the Holders of such
Notes shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price of such Note.
Section 12.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part pursuant to an
Optional Redemption, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination, which shall be $1,000 or an integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof, equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note
surrendered. The Company shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes
selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Notes being
redeemed in part.
If the Trustee selects a portion of a Holders Notes for Optional Redemption and the Holder
converts a portion of such Holders Notes, the converted portion of such Holders Notes shall be
deemed to be from the portion selected for redemption, except to the extent of the excess, if any,
of such converted portion over such portion selected for redemption.

1.50% Convertible Senior Note due 2018
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 1.50%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the Notes), initially issued in the aggregate principal amount
of $120,000,000, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 20,
2011 (the Indenture), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the
Trustee), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for
a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an
unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.
In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and
interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and upon said declaration shall become, due
and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions
set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and
deliveries in respect of the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the
principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a
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.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances,
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures
modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in
the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive
any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.
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 the
principal (including the Redemption Price, if applicable, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any,
on, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein
prescribed.
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal
amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. At the office or agency of
A-6
the Company
referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the
Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other
authorized denominations. The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes,
assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the registration
of, transfer or exchange of the Notes from the Holder requesting such transfer or exchange.
No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. All or any portion (in principal amounts of $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the outstanding Notes are subject to
redemption, at the option of the Company during certain periods, upon the occurrence of certain
conditions and subject to certain exceptions, at a price equal to the Redemption Price, as
specified in the Indenture.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holders
option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holders Notes or any portion
thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option,
during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture,
prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the
