Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.) (b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination. (c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(If, after any such date fixed for determination, any dividend or distribution is not in fact paid, the conversion price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the conversion price that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares number of Common Stock Equity Interests at any time outstanding shall not include Equity Interests held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances the Issuers but shall include Equity Interests issuable in respect thereof, shall be disregardedof scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions Equity Interests. The Issuers will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Equity Interests held in the treasury of the Issuers.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Issuers shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock Equity Interests entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Equity Interests at a price per share Equity Interest less than the Current Market Price current market price per Equity Interest (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the same class of Equity Interests on the date dated fixed for the determination of stockholders equityholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Equity Interests outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock Equity Interests which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Equity Interests so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Equity Interests outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Equity Interests so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination. If, after any such terminationdate fixed for determination, any such rights or warrants are not in fact issued, the conversion price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights or warrants, to the conversion price that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of Equity Interests at any time outstanding shall not include Equity Interests held in the treasury of the Issuers but shall include Equity Interests issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Equity Interests. The Issuers will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of Equity Interests held in the treasury of the Issuers.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock Equity Interests shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common StockEquity Interests, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock Equity Interests shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common StockEquity Interests, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(4) In case the Issuers shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Equity Interests evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section), the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of equityholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of Equity Interests on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one Equity Interest and the denominator shall be such current market price per Equity Interest, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of equityholders entitled to receive such distribution. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any such distribution is not in fact made, the conversion price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the conversion price that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed.
(5) In case the Issuers shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Equity Interests cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (I) the aggregate amount of any other cash distributions to all holders of its Equity Interests made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) has been made and (II) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution and filed with the Trustee) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Issuers or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Equity Interests concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) of this Section has been made (the “combined cash and tender amount”) exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per Equity Interest (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the particular Equity Interest on the date for the determination of holders of Equity Interests entitled to receive such distribution times the number of Equity Interests outstanding on such date (the “aggregate current market price”), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the equityholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market price per Equity Interest (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined cash and tender amount over such aggregate current market price divided by (y) the number of Equity Interests outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per Equity Interest (determined as provided in paragraph(8) of this Section) on such date for determination.
(6) In case a tender offer made by the Issuers or any subsidiary of the Issuers for all or any portion of the Equity Interests shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to equityholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Equity Interests (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution and filed with the Trustee) that combined together with (I) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution and filed with the Trustee), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer by the Issuers or any subsidiary of the Issuers for all or any portion of the Equity Interests expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (6) has been made and (II) the aggregate amount of any cash distributions to all holders of the Issuers’ Equity Interests within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section has been made (the “combined tender and cash amount”) exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per Equity Interest (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of Equity Interests outstanding (including any tendered Equity Interests) as of the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market price per Equity Interest (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) on the date of the Expiration Time multiplied by (II) the number of Equity Interests outstanding (including any tendered Equity Interests) on the Expiration Time less (B) the combined tender and cash amount, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the current market price per Equity Interest (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) as of the Expiration Time multiplied by (B) the number of Equity Interests outstanding (including any tendered Equity Interests) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all Equity Interests validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the Equity Interests deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Equity Interests”).
(7) The reclassification of Equity Interests into securities including other than Equity Interests (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 12.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Equity Interests to all holders of Equity Interests (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the date fixed for the determination of equityholders entitled to receive such distribution” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section) and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of Equity Interests outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of Equity Interests outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination becomes effective,” as the case may be, and “the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective” within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).
(8) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section, the current market price per Equity Interest on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Issuers commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the “ex” date (as described below) with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Equity Interests are not listed or admitted to trading on either such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Equity Interests are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Issuers for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “‘ex’ date,” when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Equity Interests trade regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(9) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (9)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (9) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a Equity Interest, as the case may be.
(10) The Issuers may make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of Equity Interests or Equity Interest rights shall not be taxable to the recipients. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuers from time to time may reduce the conversion price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) days and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such reduction would be in the best interests of the Issuers, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the conversion price is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Issuers shall give notice of the reduction to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.6 at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the reduced conversion price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced conversion price and the period during which it will be in effect.

(For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 10.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b1) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue short-term rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock Shares entitling them, them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for the determination of not more than 45 days, shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of shares of additional Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that Common Shares are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Common Shares actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(f) In case the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall consummate a tender or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of expiration of such tender or exchange offer shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date of expiration less the Per Share Premium Amount (as hereinafter defined) paid in such tender or exchange offer and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date of expiration.
(g) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution referred to in Section 6(d) or 6(e), the Holder converting this Note (or any portion of the outstanding Principal balance of this Note (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon)) subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such distribution shall also be entitled to receive, for each share of Common Stock into which this Note (or portion of the outstanding Principal balance of this Note (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon) being converted), the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; provided, however, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors) with respect to all holders so converting, the Company may, in lieu of distributing to such holder any portion or all of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets to which such holder is entitled as set forth above, (i) pay such holder an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof or (ii) distribute to such holder a due ▇▇▇▇ therefor, provided that such due ▇▇▇▇ (A) meets any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded and (B) requires payment or delivery of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash or assets no later than the date of payment thereof to holders of shares of Common Stock receiving such distribution.

The provisions of this Section 6(h) and any equivalent thereof in any such securities similarly shall apply to successive reclassifications or Fundamental Changes. The provisions of this Section 6(h) and Section 4 shall be the sole rights of Holders of Notes in connection with any reclassification or Fundamental Change and such Holders shall have no separate vote thereon.
(i) The Company may not engage in any transaction if, as a result thereof, the Conversion Price would be reduced to below the par value per share of the Common Stock.

(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 5.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date issue rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to all or substantially in Section 5.3(d)) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for the determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall on or after the Issuance Date be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective and the day on which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective and the day on which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock with respect to such combination begins shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveeffective and the day on which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision or combination.
(d) In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 5.3(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.3(b) and dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.4 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.3(d) called the “Securities”)), then, in each such case, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 5.3(d), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 5.3(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price, to the extent possible. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.3 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the Issuance Date, are subject to Trigger Events, upon the satisfaction of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such Trigger Event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof) (so that, by way of illustration and not limitation, the dates of issuance of any such rights shall be deemed to be the dates on which such rights become exercisable to purchase capital stock of the Company, and not the date on which such rights may be issued, or may become evidenced by separate certificates, if such rights are not then so exercisable). In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.3 was made (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 5.3(d) and Sections 5.3(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 5.3(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 5.3(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 5.3(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 5.3(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 5.3(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such determination” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 5.3(a) and as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and “such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 5.3(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 5.3(a).
(e) In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.4 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 5.3(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any Tender Offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 5.3(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of (x) the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note (and shall have made adequate provision) so that the Holder will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled, the amount of cash which the Holder would have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, converted this Note into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of cash the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a Tender Offer on or after the Issuance Date made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such Tender Offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Tender Offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such Tender Offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other Tender Offers, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Tender Offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.3(f) has been made and (2)

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock of Gabelli payable in its Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (y) the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants (which rights or warrants expire within 45 days and are not available on an equivalent basis to all or substantially Holders of the Securities convertible pursuant to this Article Fourteen upon conversion) to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination; provided, however, that to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the conversion price shall be readjusted (but only with respect to Securities converted after such expiration) to the conversion price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made upon the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than fair market value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company upon issuance and upon exercise of such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution). For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute Excess Cash to all holders of its Common Stock, the conversion price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the conversion price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (4) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on such date less the amount of Excess Cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash dividend. "Excess Cash" shall mean any dividend or distribution (excluding, in all events, any dividend or distribution described in paragraph (5) of this Section) consisting exclusively of cash and declared with respect to shares of Common Stock to the extent such dividend or distribution when added to all other dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock consisting exclusively of cash and made during the immediately preceding 12 months (applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock) exceeds 15% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock immediately preceding the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash dividend.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all Holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 13.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders Holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered for subscription or purchase or into which convertible securities so offered are convertible; provided, however, the Company may, at its option and in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, elect to distribute or reserve for distribution the pro rata portion of such rights or warrants so that each Holder of Securities shall receive, or shall have the right to receive upon conversion, as the case may be, the amount of such rights or warrants that such Holder of Securities would have received if such Holder of Securities had converted such Securities on the date fixed for determination of stockholders to receive such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered before the expiration of such rights or warrants, then after the expiration of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants or to be received upon exercise of such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and set forth in a Board Resolution.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 13.3(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.3(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 13.3(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 13.3(d) called the "Distributed Securities"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date (as defined below) with respect to such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board if Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.3(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of securities pursuant to this Article 13 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 13.3(b) or this Section 13.3(d). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the Holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.3 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 13.3(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the Holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.3 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable holders of Common Stock as of the date of such repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of Section 13.3(a), Section 13.3(b) and this Section 13.3(d), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.3(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 13.3(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Section 13.3(a) and Section 13.3(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 13.3(a) and Section 13.3(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 13.3(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.4 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 13.3(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all Holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.3(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 13.3(f) has been made, exceeds 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 12.5% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Security holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Any cash distribution to all Holders of Common Stock as to which the Company makes the election permitted by Section 13.3(m) and as to which the Company has complied with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this Section 13.3(e).
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a reso

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli GAMCO shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock of Gabelli GAMCO payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of GabelliGAMCO, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli GAMCO shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all Holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, and distributions the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders Holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its Indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "Securities")), then, in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Holders upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such Holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Notes into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h) for such distribution of the Securities)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date (as defined below) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Notes the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all Holders of Common Stock entitling the Holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 15.5(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the Holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a Holder or Holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such Holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all Holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of Indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 15.5(a) and (b), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 15.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 15.5(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such Record Date provided, however, that, if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expires and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) requires the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that, combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all Holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) as of the last time (th

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all Holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 13.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 60 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered for subscription or purchase or into which convertible securities so offered are convertible; provided, however, the Company may, at its option and in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, elect to distribute or reserve for distribution the pro rata portion of such rights or warrants so that each Holder of Securities shall receive, or shall have the right to receive upon conversion, as the case may be, the amount of such rights or warrants that such Holder of Securities would have received if such Holder of Securities had converted such Securities on the date fixed for determination of stockholders to receive such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered, after the expiration of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants or to be received upon exercise of such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 13.05(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.05(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 13.05(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 13.05(d) called the "DISTRIBUTED SECURITIES"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board if Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date. In the event the then fair market value of any distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of a Security shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of such distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.05(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Securities pursuant to this Article 13 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 13.05(b) or this Section 13.05(d). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("TRIGGER EVENT"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.05 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.05 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 13.05(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.05 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 13.05(d) and Sections 13.05(a) and 13.05(b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.05(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 13.05(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 13.05(a) and 13.05(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 13.05(a) and 13.05(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 13.05(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.06 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 13.05(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all Holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.05(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 13.05(f) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution and the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 15% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Any cash distribution to all holders of Common Stock as to which the Company makes the election permitted by Section 13.05(m) and as to which the Company has complied with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this Section 13.05(e)).
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such te

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli the Company payable in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h)) fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 15.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than any rights, options or warrants that by their terms will also be issued to any Noteholder upon conversion of a Note into Common Stock without any action required by the Company or any other person) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 15.5(h)) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on -68- the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. Not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Notes the holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights, options or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights, options or warrants for the purposes of this Section 15.5(d). Rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5(b) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5(b) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right, option or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right, option or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right, option or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5(b), (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b) and, (2) dividends and distributions exclusively in cash (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "Securities")), unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Noteholders upon conversion of the Notes so that any such holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, without any additional action on the part of the Company or the Noteholder and in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Notes into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h) for such distribution of the Securities) then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of Securities such holder -70- would have received had such holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 15.5(h) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Noteholder. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 15.5(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 15.5(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 15.5(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 15.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 15.5(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) on the -71- Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Any cash distribution to all holders of Common Stock as to which the Company makes the election permitted by Section 15.5(n) and as to which the Company has complied with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this Section 15.5(e)).
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender off

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli shall pay or make If the Corporation, at any time after the commencement of the Trading Price Averaging Period and before the Conversion Date, pays a dividend or other makes a distribution on any class to all holders of Capital shares of Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, then in each such case the Conversion Volume Weighted Average Price in effect at of the opening of business Common Stock on each Trading Day during the day following Trading Price Averaging Period prior to the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution Ex-Dividend Date (as defined below) shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close immediately before such dividend or distribution and of business on the date fixed for such determination and which the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions outstanding immediately after such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution.)
(b) In If the Corporation, at any time after the commencement of the Trading Price Averaging Period and before the Conversion Date, (i) subdivides the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (ii) combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case Gabelli the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Trading Price Averaging Period prior to the effective date for such subdivision or combination shall issue be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
(c) If the Corporation, at any time after the commencement of the Trading Price Averaging Period and before the Conversion Date, issues rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) of the Common Stock (except for any rights issued in a Rights Offering), then the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the date fixed Trading Price Averaging Period prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period issuance shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price multiplied by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for immediately before such determination issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon payable to exercise of such rights or warrants would have purchased at such divided by (B) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock, and (y) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance plus the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants.
(d) If the Corporation, at any time after the close commencement of business the Trading Price Averaging Period and before the Conversion Date, pays a dividend or makes a distribution to all holders of Common Stock of any Distributed Property (but excluding the Common Stock and rights or warrants to subscribe for Common Stock), then the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Trading Price Averaging Period prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution or dividend shall be multiplied by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of Common Stock and (y) the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of Common Stock plus the amount (as determined pursuant to subsection (g) below), on the date fixed Ex-Dividend Date for such determination plus distribution, of the Distributed Property so distributed, expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock.
(e) If, at any time after the commencement of the Trading Price Averaging Period and before the Conversion Date, a tender or exchange offer made by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender or exchange offer shall involve a consideration per share of Common Stock having a value (as determined pursuant to subsection (g) below) on the Expiration Date (as defined below) that exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding such Expiration Date, then the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Trading Price Averaging Period on or prior to such Expiration Date shall be multiplied by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Expiration Date multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business outstanding on the day following Expiration Date, and (y) the date fixed for such termination.
denominator shall be the sum of (cA) In case outstanding shares the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater on the Expiration Date multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date and (B) the aggregate value (as determined pursuant to subsection (g) below), on the Expiration Date, of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date. For purposes of this subsection, the "Expiration Date" means the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to the tender or exchange offer.
(f) If there is a Change of Control at any time while Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, then upon any subsequent conversion of Series D Preferred Stock, each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Change of Control, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it could have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Change of Control if it had been, immediately prior to such Change of Control, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the "Alternate Consideration"). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the applicable Conversion Prices for the Series D Preferred Stock shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Change of Control, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in effect at a reasonable manner reflecting the opening relative value of business on any different components of the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Change of Control, then each Holder shall each be combined given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of Series D Preferred Stock following such Change of Control. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Change of Control shall issue to the Holder a new series of preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders' right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a smaller Change of Control is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (f) and insuring that the Series D Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Change of Control.
(g) For purposes of subsections (c) and (d) above, the "Current Market Price" means the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) above, the amount of the Distributed Property or the value of the consideration shall equal: (i) in case of cash, the amount of cash so distributed per share of Common Stock, (ii) in case of securities traded on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market, the Volume Weighted Average Price of a share of such securities on the applicable date multiplied by the number of shares of such securities distributed per share of Common Stock, and (iii) in case of any property other than cash or securities referred in clause (ii) above, the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common StockStock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the Conversion Price in effect at the opening disposition of business on the day following the day upon which any such combination becomes effective shares shall be proportionately increased, such reduction considered an issue or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening sale of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveCommon Stock.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, and distributions the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustments shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consider- ation, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 14.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 14.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 14.5(d) called the "SECURITIES")), then, in each such case the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 14.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Notes the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("TRIGGER EVENT"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 14.5 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 14.5(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 14.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 14.5(d) and Sections 14.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both) referred to in Section 14.5(b), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 14.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 14.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 14.5(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 14.5(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any fiscal quarter does not exceed the greater of (i) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the conversion price pursuant to this clause (e) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (ii) 3.75% of the average of the daily Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, and excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company) the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) For purposes of this Section 14.5, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted (without duplication) from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction,
(i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and determination; and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction decrease to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 4.2(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held that would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants (other than pursuant to all any dividend reinvestment or substantially share purchase plan) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 60 days after the date of not more than 45 days, such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Last Reported Sale Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction purchase, and
(ii) the denominator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for of issuance of such determination rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which that the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of Stock. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price are issued, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date of issuance of such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduceddecreased, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction decrease or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company, debt securities, assets or rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company (excluding (x) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend, distribution or issuance referred to in Section 4.2(a) or (b)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 4.2(d) called the “Distributed Assets”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date; and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Record Date minus the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of the Distributed Assets applicable to one share of Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event (1) the then Fair Market Value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date or (2) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date exceeds the then Fair Market Value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock by less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distributed Assets such holder would have received had such holder converted this Debenture on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.2 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.2 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 4.2(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the Closing Date, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.2 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 4.2(d) and Sections 4.2(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.2(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of debt securities, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price adjustment required by this Section 4.2(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price adjustment required by Sections 4.2(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Sections 4.2(a) and (b), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 4.2(a). If any Distributed Assets requiring any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) consists of the Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the close of business on the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive the distribution shall instead be decreased by dividing the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of such distributed security for the 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date on the NYSE or such other national or regional exchange or market on which the securities are then listed or quoted, plus (2) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the same Trading Day period and (B) the denominator of which is such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock.
(e) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) that as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
(f) In the event that a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer with respect to which, as of the last time (the “Offer Expiration Time”), tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such offer, the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversion Price will be decreased by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Expiration Time by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the aggregate consideration payable to the stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Accepted Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Offer Expiration Time and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and
(ii) the denominator of which will be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any such Purchased Shares) at the Offer Expiration Time multiplied by, and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time. The adjustment referred to in this Section 4.2(f) will be made only if (x) the tender offer or exchange offer is for an amount that increases the offeror’s ownership of Common Stock to more than 25% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding; and (y) the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last R

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, and distributions the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "New Securities")), then, in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such New Securities for distribution to the Securityholders upon the conversion of the Securities so that any such holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such New Securities which such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Securities into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h) for such distribution of the New Securities)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the New Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of New Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Securities the holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable, and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 15.5(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 15.5(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 15.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 15.5(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such Record Date; provided, however, that, if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expires and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) requires the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that, combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) as of

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders Record Date with respect to shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 8.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such termination.
(c) In case outstanding rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be subdivided into a greater readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common StockStock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect at if such date fixed for the opening determination of business on shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective there shall be proportionately increasedtaken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such reduction or increaseconsideration, as the case may beif other than cash, to become effective immediately after be determined in good faith by the opening Board of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveDirectors.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Issuer shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock or shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any other class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable in the Issuer which dividend or distribution includes Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)close
(b) In Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Issuer shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue to all holders of Common Stock, rights or warrants to all or substantially all entitling the holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Issuer.

(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case the Issuer shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock other than Common Stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section, to the extent possible.

(e) In case the Issuer shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section or in connection with a transaction to which Section 14.12 applies) in an aggregate amount that, together with (A) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of Common Stock made exclusively in cash (excluding any cash that is distributed in connection with a transaction to which Section 14.12 applies) within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made previously and (B) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of such date of determination of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Issuer or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding such date of determination and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date of determination times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date of determination by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the amount of cash to be distributed at such time applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after such date.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Issuer or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it shall have been amended) that, together with (A) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the Expiration Time of the other consideration paid in respect of any other tender offer by the Issuer or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made previously and (B) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided
(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities which include securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 14.12 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section). Rights or warrants issued by the Issuer to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, in each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"), shall for purposes of this Section 14.5 not be deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture are subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the conversion price under this Section 14.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the conversion price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the conversion price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
(h) For the purpose of any computation under this paragraph and paragraphs (b), (d) and (e) of this Section, the current market price per share of Common Stock (the "Current Market Price") on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Issuer commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the date in question; provided, however, that (i) if the "ex" date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 5.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date issue rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to all or substantially in Section 5.3(d)) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for the determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall on or after the Issuance Date be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective and the day on which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective and the day on which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock with respect to such combination begins shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveeffective and the day on which “ex-” trading of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision or combination.
(d) In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 5.3(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.3(b) and dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.4 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.3(d) called the “Securities”)), then, in each such case, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 5.3(d), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 5.3(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price, to the extent possible. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.3 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the Issuance Date, are subject to Trigger Events, upon the satisfaction of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such Trigger Event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof) (so that, by way of illustration and not limitation, the dates of issuance of any such rights shall be deemed to be the dates on which such rights become exercisable to purchase capital stock of the Company, and not the date on which such rights may be issued, or may become evidenced by separate certificates, if such rights are not then so exercisable). In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.3 was made (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 5.3(d) and Sections 5.3(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 5.3(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 5.3(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 5.3(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 5.3(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 5.3(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such determination” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 5.3(a) and as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and “such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 5.3(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 5.3(a).
(e) In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.4 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 5.3(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any Tender Offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 5.3(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of (x) the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note (and shall have made adequate provision) so that the Holder will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled, the amount of cash which the Holder would have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, converted this Note into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of cash the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a Tender Offer on or after the Issuance Date made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such Tender Offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Tender Offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such Tender Offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other Tender Offers, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Tender Offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.3(f) has been made and (2)

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 7.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, and distributions the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 7.05(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 7.05(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) in connection with a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance that results in a change in the conversion consideration as described in Section 7.06 (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 7.05(d) called the “Securities”)), then, in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Holders upon the conversion of the Debentures so that any such Holder converting Debentures will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Debentures into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 7.05(h) for such distribution of the Securities)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Debenture on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the Fair Market Value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 7.05(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 7.05 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 7.05 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 7.05(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Third Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 7.05 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or warrants described in Section 7.05(b)), pro rata to holders of Common Stock, and in the case of the rights issued pursuant to the Company’s stockholder rights agreement in existence as of the date hereof, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.05(d), make proper provision (in the case of the Company’s stockholder rights agreement in existence as of the date thereof, to the extent it does not make proper provision) so that each holder of a Debenture who converts such Debenture (or any portion thereof) after the record date for such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the “Conversion Shares”): (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the “Rights Distribution Date”), a number of rights or warrants equal to the number of rights or warrants a holder of Common Stock would receive if such holder held that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures to be converted by such Holder by $50 and (y) the Conversion Ratio; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Rights Distribution Date, a number of rights or warrants equal to the number of rights or warrants a holder of Common Stock would receive if such holder held that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures to be converted by such Holder by $50 and (y) the Conversion Ratio immediately prior to the Rights Distribution Date. For purposes of this Section 7.05(d) and Sections 7.05(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 7.05(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 7.05(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 7.05(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Sections 7.05(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 7.05(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any fiscal quarter does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the most recent quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7.05(e) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Price (determined as set forth in Section 7.05(h)) during the ten Trading Days (as defined in Section 7.05(h)) immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, and (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Debenture on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli the Company payable in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h)) fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 15.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than any rights, options or warrants that by their terms will also be issued to any Noteholder upon conversion of a Note into Common Stock without any action required by the Company or any other person) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 15.5(h)) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. Not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Notes the holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights, options or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights, options or warrants for the purposes of this Section 15.5(d). Rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5(b) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5(b) will 60 be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right, option or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right, option or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right, option or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5(b), (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b) and, (2) dividends and distributions exclusively in cash (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "Securities")), unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Noteholders upon conversion of the Notes so that any such holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, without any additional action on the part of the Company or the Noteholder and in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Notes into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h) for such distribution of the Securities) then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 15.5(h) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a board resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Noteholder. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 15.5(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 15.5(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 15.5(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 15.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 15.5(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Any cash distribution to all holders of Common Stock as to which the Company makes the election permitted by Section 15.5(n) and as to which the Company has complied with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this Section 15.5(e)).
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purch

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a1) In case Gabelli at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b2) In case Gabelli at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to Holders of the Securities upon conversion) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrantswarrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.of

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:
(a1) In case Gabelli outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(2) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in Common Stock or shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any other class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable in the Company which dividend or distribution includes Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (2), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b3) In Subject to the provisions of paragraph (9) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consisting of, or shall otherwise issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock Stock, rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (10) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered for subscription or purchase (or such number of shares of Common Stock into which such rights or warrants securities would have purchased be convertible) would purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise so offered for subscription or repurchase (or such number of shares of Common Stock into which such rights or warrantssecurities would be convertible), such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (3), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c4) In Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (4) and the provisions of paragraph (9) of this Section, in case outstanding the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of Common Stock shares of any class of its capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets (including securities and any dividends or distributions paid in part in cash, but excluding (x) any dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, (y) any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (3) of this Section and (z) any dividends or distributions referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section), the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (10) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (4) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (10) of this Section, to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (4) any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into deemed to be (x) a greater dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights, options or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any Conversion Price reduction required by this paragraph (4)) immediately followed by (y) in the case of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants, dividend or distribution thereof (making any further Conversion Price reduction required by (2) and (3) of this Section, except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (2) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of shares of Common StockStock as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any conditions (making any further Conversion Price reduction required by paragraph (2) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (2) of this Section).

(6) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to shareholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of any aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (a) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer of consideration paid or payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (6) has been made and (b) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section has been made, exceeds 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (10) of this Section) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (I) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (1) the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (10) of this Section) on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (10) of this Section) as of the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed to be accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
(7) In case of a tender or exchange offer made by a Person other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for an amount which increases the offeror's ownership of Common Stock to more than 25% of the Common Stock outstanding and shall involve the payment by such person of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) at the last time (the "Offer Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) that exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and in which, as of the Offer Expiration Time the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Offer Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Offer Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Offer Purchased Shares) on the Offer Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the day upon which Offer Expiration Time.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price with respect to any Security which is convertible into Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli If the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock equity capital of Gabelli the Company which is payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares referred to in the preceding clause and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share of Common Stock (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph 11.04(d)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination.
(c) In case If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such the subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined consolidated into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination consolidation becomes effective.
(d) For the purpose of any computation under Section 11.03 and 11.04(b), the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the five consecutive trading days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 trading days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance requiring such computation. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principal (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors) U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date," when used with respect to any issuance means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(e) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Sections 11.04(a) through 11.04(c), as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for the United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph 11.04(e) and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.
(f) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph 11.04(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(g) For purposes of this Section, each Holder of Securities shall be deemed to have failed to exercise any right to elect the kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend, subdivision, consolidation or reclassification (PROVIDED THAT if the kind or amount of securities receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, consolidation or reclassification for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares).

(For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of GabelliGAMCO, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)

(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising such distribution, in doing so it must consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price for such purposes.
(e) In case GAMCO shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock payable exclusively in cash in an aggregate amount that, when combined with the aggregate amount paid in respect of all other distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock paid exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the payment of such distribution to the extent such amount has not already been applied in a prior adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment times the number of shares of Common Stock on which such distribution is paid, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such payment shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment less the Per Share Distribution Amount (as hereinafter defined) paid in such distribution and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such payment.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d), no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made as a result of the distribution to GAMCO's stockholders of common stock of Teton Advisors, Inc. and, in lieu thereof, GAMCO shall deliver to the Holder [16,470]1 shares of Class A common stock of Teton Advisors, Inc.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 15.5(a) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "Securities")), then, in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Noteholders upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Notes into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h) for such distribution of the Securities)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board if Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event the Company implements a stockholder rights plan (a "Rights Plan"), such Rights Plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Notes the holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such Rights Plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to the Rights Plan in accordance with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of this Section 15.5(d). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 15.5(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 15.5(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any fiscal quarter does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Price (determined as set forth in Section 15.5(h)) during the ten Trading Days (as defined in Section 15.5(h)) immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, and (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 15.5(e) as a result of a distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such distribution exceeds the amount of the quarterly cash dividend permitted to be excluded pursuant hereto. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 15.5(e) above as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the full amount of the distribution.
(f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board if Directors) that as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) that exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect thereof, shall be disregardedof scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.)
(b2) In case Gabelli at any time the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price then current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination; provided, -------- however, that if an adjustment to the Conversion Price is made and any or all of ------- such rights, options and warrants are not exercised, then a corresponding reversing adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made, on an equitable basis, to take account of such event. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any (i) rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash out of the consolidated retained earnings of the Company, (iii) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section and (iv) shares issued upon any merger or consolidation to which Section 1211 applies), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Company Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If the Conversion Price is adjusted because of the distribution of rights, options or warrants, then, upon the expiration of any such unexercised right, option or warrant, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the Conversion Price that would have applied had such right, option or warrant never been distributed.
(5) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 1211 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective," within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).
(6) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2) and (4) of this Section 1204, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices Per Share for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 10 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex date" with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(7) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (7)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason -------- ------- of this paragraph (7) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
(8) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, for the remaining term of any series of Securities or any shorter term, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this Section 1204, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationdetermination of the holders entitled to such dividends and distributions. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this Section 11.5(a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for for, purchase or purchase acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription purchase or warrants acquisition would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription, purchase or warrantsacquisition, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination of the holders entitled to such rights, options or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any right, option or warrant to purchase Common Stock, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion price pursuant to this Section 11.5(b), if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed immediately upon such expiration and effective immediately upon such expiration shall be increased to the price it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments to the Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof after the issuance of such rights, options or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Price made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants. No further adjustment shall be made upon exercise of any right, option or warrant if any adjustment shall have been made upon the issuance of such security. For the purposes of this Section 11.5(b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, to equal the product of the Conversion Price in effect on such date and a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such subdivision or combination, as the case may be. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness or (ii) shares of any class of capital stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 11.5(b) hereof, (2) any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 11.5(a) hereof, and (3) cash dividends paid from the Company's retained earnings unless the sum of (A) all such cash dividends and distributions made within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (B) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid in respect of any repurchases of Common Stock by the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 20% of the Company's market capitalization (being the product of the then current market price per share of the Common Stock times the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date for such distribution), then in each case, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock on such date of determination (or, if earlier, on the date on which the Common stock goes "ex-dividend" in respect of such distribution) less the then fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with any conversion agent) of the portion of the capital stock, cash or other assets or evidences of indebtedness to distributed (and for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price has not previously been made pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.5) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such date of determination of the holders entitled to such distribution. The following transactions shall be excluded from the foregoing clauses (A) and (B): (x) repurchases of Common Stock issued under the Company's stock incentive programs and (y) dividends or distributions payable-in-kind in additional shares of or warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into additional shares of Junior Securities.
(e) The reclassification or change of Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 11.6 shall apply) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution" within the meaning of Section 11.5(d) hereof), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 11.5(c) hereof).
(f) The Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price if it considers such reductions to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of Common Stock by any amount, but in no event may the Conversion Price be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced, the Company shall mail to Holders of record of Notes a notice of the reduction. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect. The notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect. A reduction of the Conversion Price does not change or adjust the Conversion Price otherwise in effect for purposes of Sections 11.5(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.
(g) No adjustment in the Conversion Price need be made until all cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% in the Conversion Price, as last adjusted; provided that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 11.5(g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article 11 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent.
(h) For the purpose of any computation under Section 11.5, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any day shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Board of Directors commencing no more than 30 Trading Days before and ending no later than the day before the day in question; provided that, in the case of Section 11.5(d) hereof, if the period between the date of the public announcement of the dividend or distribution and the date of or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (or, if earlier, the date on which the Common Stock goes "ex-dividend" in respect of such dividend or distribution) shall be less than 20 Trading Days, the period shall be such lesser number of Trading Days but, in any event not less than five Trading Days.
(i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value of the Common Stock. No adjustment in the Conversion Price need be made under Section 11.5(a), (b) or (d) hereof if the Company issues or distributes to each Holder of Notes the shares of Common Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, options or warrants referred to in those paragraphs which each Holder would have been entitled to receive had Notes been converted into Common Stock prior to the happening of such event or the record date with respect thereto.
(j) Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any conversion agent other than the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the fact requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which each adjustment became effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to each Holder of Notes at his last address appearing on the Note register provided for in Section 2.5 hereof, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not effect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(k) In any case in which this Section 11.5 shall require that an adjustment as a result of any event become effective from and after a record date, the company may elect to defer until after the occurrence of such event (i) the issuance to the Holder of and Notes converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event of the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares issuable on the basis of the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment and (ii) a cash payment for any remaining fractional shares of Common stock as provided in Section 11.3 hereof; provided, however, that if such event shall not have occurred and authorization of such event shall be rescinded by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed immediately upon such recision to the price that would have been in effect had such event not been authorized, provided that such recision is permitted by and effective under applicable laws.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a1) In case Gabelli at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b2) In case Gabelli at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to Holders of the Securities upon conversion) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrantswarrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased 84 purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c3) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(4) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Company and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section), the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective 85 immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(5) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1412 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with:
(A) the aggregate amount of any other such all-cash distributions made to all holders of its Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) has been made, and
(B) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) of this Section has been made, (the amount of such cash distribution together with the amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) above being referred to herein as the "Aggregate Cash Distribution Amount") exceeds 15% of the product of (I) the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution, times (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the amount by which the Aggregate Cash Distribution Amount exceeds 15% of the product of the amounts described in clauses (I) and (II) above being referred to herein as the "Excess Amount"), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the conversion price shall be decreased in accordance with the following formula: M - (EA/O) AC = CP x ---------------- M Where: AC = the adjusted conversion price. CP = the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive the distribution. M = the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive the distribution. EA = the Excess Amount. O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive the distribution.
(6) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with:
(A) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (6) has been made, and
(B) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in paragraph (5) of this Section 1405 made to all holders of the Company's Common Stock within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of (I) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended), times (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: (M x O) - C AC = CP x --------------- M x (O - TS) Where: AC = the adjusted conversion price. CP = the conversion price immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time. M = the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) on the date of the Expiration Time. O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time. C = the amount of cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below). TS = the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all Holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 13.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders Holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered for subscription or purchase or into which convertible securities so offered are convertible; provided, however, the Company may, at its option and in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, elect to distribute or reserve for distribution the pro rata portion of such rights or warrants so that each Holder of Securities shall receive, or shall have the right to receive upon conversion, as the case may be, the amount of such rights or warrants that such Holder of Securities would have received if such Holder of Securities had converted such Securities on the date fixed for determination of stockholders to receive such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered, after the expiration of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants or to be received upon exercise of such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 13.05(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.05(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 13.05(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 13.05(d) called the "Distributed Securities"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board if Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.05(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of securities pursuant to this Article 13 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 13.05(b) or this Section 13.05(d). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all Holders of Common Stock entitling the Holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section13.05 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.05 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 13.05(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the Holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.05 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share repurchase price received by a Holder or Holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such Holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable Holders of Common Stock as of the date of such repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 13.05(d) and Sections 13.05(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.05(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 13.05(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 13.05(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 13.05(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 13.05(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section13.06 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section13.05(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all Holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.05(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 13.05(f) has been made, exceeds 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 12.5% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Security holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Any cash distribution to all Holders of Common Stock as to which the Company makes the election permitted by Section 13.05(m) and as to which the Company has complied with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this Section 13.05(e)).
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the C

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price -------------------------------- shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 5.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date issue rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to all or substantially in Section 5.3(d)) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for the determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall on or after the Issuance Date be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective and the day on which "ex-" trading of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective and the day on which "ex-" trading of the Common Stock with respect to such combination begins shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveeffective and the day on which "ex-" trading of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision or combination.
(d) In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 5.3(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.3(b) and dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.4 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.3(d) called the "Securities")), then, in each such case, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 5.3(d), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 5.3(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price, to the extent possible. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a "Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.3 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the Issuance Date, are subject to Trigger Events, upon the satisfaction of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such Trigger Event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof) (so that, by way of illustration and not limitation, the dates of issuance of any such rights shall be deemed to be the dates on which such rights become exercisable to purchase capital stock of the Company, and not the date on which such rights may be issued, or may become evidenced by separate certificates, if such rights are not then so exercisable). In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.3 was made (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 5.3(d) and Sections 5.3(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 5.3(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 5.3(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 5.3(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 5.3(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 5.3(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 5.3(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 5.3(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 5.3(a).
(e) In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.4 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 5.3(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any Tender Offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 5.3(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of (x) the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution TIMES (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note (and shall have made adequate provision) so that the Holder will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled, the amount of cash which the Holder would have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, converted this Note into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of cash the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a Tender Offer on or after the Issuance Date made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such Tender Offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Tender Offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such Tender Offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other Tender Offers, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Tender Offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Sect

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall (1) pay or a dividend in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (2) make a dividend distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (3) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or other distribution on any class (4) combine its outstanding shares of Capital Common Stock into a smaller number of Gabelli payable in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the opening holder of business on any Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the day number of shares of Common Stock which he or she would have owned immediately following such action had such Notes been converted immediately prior thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date fixed in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options to substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date for the determination of stockholders holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend rights, warrants or other distribution options and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on such record date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distributionrecord date, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of offered shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise (or the aggregate conversion price of such rights or warrants the convertible securities so offered) would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustments shall become effective immediately after such record date.
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock shares of any class of stock other than Common Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets (other than cash dividends out of current or retained earnings), or shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock rights, warrants or options to subscribe for securities (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets so distributed or of such subscription rights, warrants or options applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights, warrants or options (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Rights") PRO RATA to holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.4, make proper provision so that each holder of a Note who is required to convert such Note after the record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the close time of business on such conversion in accordance with the date fixed for terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights; and (ii) if such determination plus conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise into which the principal amount of the Note so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (including any distributions of cash out of current or retained earnings of the Company but excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made in cash plus (y) all Excess Payments, in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution (the "Distribution Record Date") and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (e) of this Section or this paragraph (d) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (d) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of such rights or warrantscash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments) so distributed applicable to one share (based on the PRO RATA portion of the aggregate amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments), divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date) of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, such reduction to become effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationDistribution Record Date.
(ce) In case outstanding shares a tender offer or other negotiated transaction made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number consummated, if an Excess Payment is made in respect of shares such tender offer or other negotiated transaction and the amount of Common Stocksuch Excess Payment, together with the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.sum of

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock or shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any other class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable in the Company which dividend or distribution includes Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes purpose of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In Subject to paragraph (h) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue to all holders of the Common Stock, rights or warrants to all or substantially all entitling the holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (i) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. 84
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and to paragraph (h) of this Section, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section, to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (x) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any conversion price reduction required by this paragraph (d)) immediately followed by (y) in the case of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants, a dividend or distribution thereof (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of shares of Common Stock as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any conditions (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of the Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section or in connection with a transaction to which Section 1311 applies) in an aggregate amount that, together with (A) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made previously and (B) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of such date of determination of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding such date of determination and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds the greater of (I) 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section) on such date of determination times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date or (II) the Company's retained earnings on the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date of determination by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section) on such date less the amount of cash to be distributed at such time applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after such date.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the last time that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it shall have been amended) (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (A) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the Expiration Time of the other consideration paid in respect of any other tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made previously and (B) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds the greater of (I) 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time or (II) the Company's retained earnings as of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (x) the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares at the Expiration Time minus (y) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders upon consummation of such tender offer and the denominator shall be the product of (A) such Current Market Price times (B) such number of outstanding shares at the Expiration Time minus the number of shares accepted for payment in such tender offer (the "Purchased Shares"), such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time; provided, 97 that if the number of Purchased Shares or the aggregate consideration payable therefor have not been finally determined by such opening of business, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall, pending such final determination, be made based upon the preliminarily announced results of such tender offer, and, after such final determination shall have been made, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall be made based upon the number of Purchased Shares and the aggregate consideration payable therefor as so finally determined.
(g) In case a tender offer or exchange offer made by a Person other than the Company or any Subsidiary, which offer is not recommended for rejection by the Company's Board of Directors, shall be consummated with respect to such number of shares of Common Stock which, as of the closing date of such tender offer or exchange offer, as amended, increases the acquiring Person's ownership of Common Stock to more than 25% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding and if the cash and fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of any other consideration included in such payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the current market price per share of Common Stock on the Business Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the closing of such offer by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (x) the product of the current market price (determined as described above in this paragraph (g)) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares at the closing) minus (y) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders upon the consummation of such offer and the denominator shall be the product of (A) the current market price (as determined above) times (B) such number of outstanding shares at the closing minus the number of shares accepted for payment in such tender offer or exchange offer, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the closing; provided, that if the number of shares tendered or exchanged or the aggregate consideration payable therefor has not been finally determined by such opening of business, the adjustment required by this paragraph shall, pending such final determination, be made based upon the preliminarily announced results of such tender or exchange offer, and, after such final determination shall have been made, the adjustment required by this paragraph shall be made based upon the number of shares tendered or exchanged and the aggregate consideration payable therefor as so finally determined. The adjustment referred to in the paragraph will generally not be made, however, if, as of the closing of such tender offer or exchange offer, the offering documents with respect to such offer disclose a plan or an intention to cause the Company to engage in a consolidation or merger of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.
(h) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities which include securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 1311 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock or shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any other class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable in the Company which dividend or distribution includes Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes purpose of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue to all holders of the Common Stock, rights or warrants to all or substantially all entitling the holders of its Common Stock entitling them, thereof (for a period of not more than expiring within 45 days, days after the record date mentioned in this Section 1304(b)) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. In case any rights or warrants referred to in this subsection in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire unexercised within 45 days after the same shall have been distributed or issued by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired rights or warrants.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the conversion price shall again be adjusted to be the conversion price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not occurred. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section, to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (x) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any conversion price reduction required by this paragraph (d)) immediately followed by (y) in the case of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants, a dividend or distribution thereof (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of shares of Common Stock as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any conditions (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of the Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution resulting in an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section or in connection with a transaction to which Section 1311 applies) in an aggregate amount that, together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of the Common Stock of cash within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made previously and (ii) the aggregate amount of cash and other consideration paid in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds 20.0% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date of determination times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date of determination by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the amount of cash to be distributed at such time applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after such date.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it shall have been amended) that, together with (i) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the Expiration Time of the other consideration paid in respect of any other tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made previously and (ii) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds 20.0% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (x) the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time minus (y) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders upon consummation of such tender offer and the denominator shall be the product of (A) such Current Market Price times (B) such number of outstanding shares at the Expiration Time minus the number of shares accepted for payment in such tender offer (the "Purchased Shares"), such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time; provided, that if the number of Purchased Shares or the aggregate consideration payable therefor have not been finally determined by such opening of business, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall, pending such final determination, be made based upon the preliminarily announced results of such tender offer, and, after such final determination shall have been made, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall be made based upon the number of Purchased Shares and the aggregate consideration payable therefor as so finally determined.
(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities which include securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 1311 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective." within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section). Rights or warrants issued by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, in each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of a specified event or events (" Trigger Event"), shall for purposes of this Section 1304 not be deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture are subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 1304 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrant which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1304 to

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall ------------------------------ be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 5.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date issue rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to all or substantially in Section 5.3(d)) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for the determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall on or after the Issuance Date be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective and the day on which "ex-" trading of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective and the day on which "ex-" trading of the Common Stock with respect to such combination begins shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the earlier of the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveeffective and the day on which "ex-" trading of the Common Stock begins with respect to such subdivision or combination.
(d) In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 5.3(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.3(b) and dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.4 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.3(d) called the "Securities")), then, in each such case, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 5.3(d), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 5.3(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price, to the extent possible. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a "Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.3 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the Issuance Date, are subject to Trigger Events, upon the satisfaction of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such Trigger Event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof) (so that, by way of illustration and not limitation, the dates of issuance of any such rights shall be deemed to be the dates on which such rights become exercisable to purchase capital stock of the Company, and not the date on which such rights may be issued, or may become evidenced by separate certificates, if such rights are not then so exercisable). In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 5.3 was made (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 5.3(d) and Sections 5.3(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 5.3(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 5.3(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 5.3(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 5.3(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 5.3(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 5.3(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 5.3(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 5.3(a).
(e) In case the Company shall on or after the Issuance Date, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.4 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 5.3(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any Tender Offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 5.3(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of (x) the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution TIMES (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, unless the Company elects to reserve such cash for distribution to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note (and shall have made adequate provision) so that the Holder will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled, the amount of cash which the Holder would have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of cash, converted this Note into Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note (or any portion hereof) the amount of cash the Holder would have received had the Holder converted this Note (or portion hereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a Tender Offer on or after the Issuance Date made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such Tender Offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Tender Offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such Tender Offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other Tender Offers, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Tender Offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Sectio

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli shall the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class in shares of Capital Common Stock to all holders of Gabelli payable in its outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination determination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such . Such reduction to become becomes effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 13.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them, them (for a period of not more than 45 days, 60 days after such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) less than the Current Market Sale Price (as hereinafter defined) of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date fixed for of announcement of such issuance, the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price announcement by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination of announcement, plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Sale Price of Common Stock actually purchased upon stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance determined by multiplying such total number of shares so offered by the exercise price of such rights or warrants would have purchased at and dividing the product so obtained by such Current Market Price Sale Price, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination of announcement plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights offered for subscription or warrantspurchase or into which convertible, such reduction to exchangeable or exercisable, securities so offered are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date of announcement of such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Sale Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduceddecreased, and conversely, in case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such reduction Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination. Such decrease or increase, as the case may be, to shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(i) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 13.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.04(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 13.04(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 13.04(d)) called the “Distributed Securities”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock. Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of securities pursuant to this Article 13 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 13.04(b) or this Section 13.04(d).
(ii) For the purposes of this Section 13.04(d), Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.04(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 13.04(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.04(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
(iii) For purposes of this Section 13.04(d) and Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(d) is applicable that also includes (x) shares of Common Stock, (y) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to which Section 13.04(b) applies (or any combination thereof), or (z) a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.04(c) applies or shall be deemed instead to be:
(A) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination to which Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 13.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by,
(B) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:
(1) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution,” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a), (y) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,” within the meaning of Section 13.04(b) and (z) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 13.04(c); and
(2) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.
(e) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its shares of Common Stock, cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.05 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 13.04(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with:
(i) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of shares of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(e) has been made; and
(ii) the aggregate amount of any cash, plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) of other consideration paid in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 13.04(f) has been made; exceeds 15% of the product of the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date with respect to such distribution, times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (such excess over 15%, the “Excess Amount”), then, and in each case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business of such Record Date by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date, less an amount equal to the quotient of (y) the Excess Amount and (z) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date; and

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by Alderwoods as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli shall pay or make If Alderwoods hereafter pays a dividend or other makes a distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Alderwoods Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Alderwoods Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately after the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Alderwoods Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction reduction, subject to Alderwoods' rights under Section 14.05(k), to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 14.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held that would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination.
(c) In case If outstanding shares of Alderwoods Common Stock shall be are subdivided into a greater number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately after the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Alderwoods Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on immediately after the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(c) If Alderwoods distributes to all holders of Alderwoods Common Stock, as such, (i) evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of surplus or net profits legally available therefor or those distributions described in Section 14.05(a)) of Alderwoods or any Subsidiary of Alderwoods, (ii) shares of capital stock of Alderwoods or any Subsidiary of Alderwoods (excluding Alderwoods Common Stock), (iii) securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of Alderwoods (including Alderwoods Common Stock or capital stock of any other class) or any Subsidiary of Alderwoods, or (iv) any rights, options or warrants to purchase any of the foregoing (excluding those described in Section 14.05(d)), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (not to be more than one), the numerator of which will be the Current Market Price (as defined below) per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on the record date for such distribution less the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Alderwoods, whose determination will be conclusive if based on the financial advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities or rights, options or warrants so distributed on account of one share of Alderwoods Common Stock and the denominator of which will be such Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If the record date for any such distribution is fixed but such distribution is not thereafter made, then the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Except as provided in Section 14.05(h), no further adjustments will be made upon the actual conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the actual exercise of such rights, options or warrants. If the fair value (as so determined) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities or rights, options or warrants so distributed on account of one share of Alderwoods Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on the record date for such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, then provision will be made so that the Holder of a Subordinated Note will be entitled to receive the sum of (A) the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock that, if such Subordinated Note had been converted immediately prior to such record date, such Holder would have received upon conversion and (B) such evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities or rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such distribution by virtue of such Holder's ownership of such shares.
(d) If Alderwoods issues rights, options or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, as such, entitling the holders of such rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Alderwoods Common Stock at a price per share that is lower on the record date mentioned below than the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on such record date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (not to be greater than one), the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock which the aggregate subscription or purchase price of the total number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock so offered would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on such record date, and the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Alderwoods Common Stock offered by such rights, options or warrants for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment will become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled 66 to receive such rights, options or warrants. If the record date for any such issuance is fixed but such issuance is not thereafter made, then the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. If such subscription or purchase price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which is in a form other than cash, the fair value of such consideration will be as determined by the Board of Directors of Alderwoods, whose determination will be conclusive if based on the financial advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm. Except as provided in Section 14.05(h), no further adjustments of the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issue of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.
(e) If Alderwoods issues shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or rights, options or warrants, entitling the holders of such rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Alderwoods Common Stock (excluding shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, convertible or exchangeable securities or rights, options or warrants issued in any of the transactions described in paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 14.05) for a purchase price per share of such Alderwoods Common Stock, for a conversion or exchange price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock initially deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities or for a subscription or purchase price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock initially deliverable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants, that is less than the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on the date the purchase, conversion, exchange or subscription price of such additional shares of Alderwoods Common Stock is first fixed, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction (not to be greater than one), the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock outstanding on the date of such issuance plus the number of additional shares of Alderwoods Common Stock which the aggregate purchase, conversion, exchange or subscription price received or receivable by Alderwoods for such additional shares of Alderwoods Common Stock would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on such date, and the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date plus the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock so issued or issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after such shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities are issued. If such purchase, conversion, exchange or subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which is in a form other than cash, the fair value of such consideration will be as determined by the Board of Directors of Alderwoods, whose determination will be conclusive if based on the financial advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm. Except as provided in Section 14.05(h), no further adjustment will be made upon the actual issue of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or upon exercise of rights, options or warrants entitling the holder of such rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Alderwoods Common Stock.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, the "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on any date will be the average of the daily Closing Prices for 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing 30 Trading Days before the date of such computation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock is determined during a period following the announcement of (i) a dividend or distribution on Alderwoods Common Stock payable in shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or (ii) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, and prior to the expiration of 30 Trading Days after the ex-dividend date of such dividend or distribution, or the issuance date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the Current Market Price per share will be appropriately adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading or to reflect the Current Market Price per share per Alderwoods Common Stock equivalent. The closing price for each day (the "CLOSING PRICE") will be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which shares of Alderwoods Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading or, if shares of Alderwoods Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or such other system then in use, or, if on any such date shares of Alderwoods Common Stock are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in shares of Alderwoods Common Stock selected by the Board of Directors of Alderwoods.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price with respect to any Security which is convertible into for Common Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli If the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock equity capital of Gabelli the Company which is payable in Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares referred to in the preceding clause and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock Shares entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per Common Share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock Shares which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination.
(c) In case If outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall each be combined consolidated into a smaller number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective effectively immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or consolidation becomes effective.
(d) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (other than periodic dividends declared or paid in accordance with the Company's practice as established from time to time) to all holders of its Common Shares cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph 14.4(f)) in an aggregate amount that, together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other distribution (other than periodic dividends declared or paid in accordance with the Company's practice as established from time to time) to all holders of its Common Shares made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph 14.4(d) has been made and (ii) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer or other offer to purchase by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Company's Common Shares concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph 14.4(e) has been made, exceeds % of the Company's Aggregate Market Capitalization (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(i)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph 14.4(d) by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the current market price per Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on such date less the amount of cash so distributed applicable to one Common Share and (ii) the denominator shall be such current market price per Common Share, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash dividend; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to purchase securities of the Company if a Holder of Securities would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights upon conversion or exchange at any time of such Securities into Common Shares or other such securities unless such rights are subsequently redeemed by the Company, in which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of this Section as a dividend on the Common Shares or other such securities. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders or holders of other such securities entitled to receive such distribution; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(e) If an issuer bid, tender offer or other offer to purchase made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Shares of the Company shall be consummated and such issuer bid, tender offer or other offer to purchase shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such bid or offer (as it may be amended) or Common Shares may be deposited pursuant to such other offer to purchase that, together with (i) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the Expiration Time, of consideration payable in respect of any issuer bid, tender offer or other offer to purchase by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Shares of the Company consummated within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph 14.4(d) or this paragraph 14.4(e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any distributions (other than periodic dividends declared or paid in accordance with the Company's practice as established from time to time) to all holders of the Common Shares of the Company made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph 14.4(d) or this paragraph 14.4(e) has been made, exceeds % of the product of the current market price per Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on the Expiration Time times the number of Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered or deposited shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the current market price per Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on the Expiration Time times the number of Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered or deposited shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer or other offer to purchase) of all shares validly tendered or deposited and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time minus the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.
(f) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph 14.4(b), any cash dividends referred to in paragraph 14.4(d) and any dividends or distributions referred to in paragraph 14.4(a)), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one Common Share and the denominator shall be such current market price per Common Share, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. For the purposes of this paragraph 14.4(f), the distribution of a security which is distributed not only to the holders of the Common Shares on the date fixed for the distribution of such security, but also is distributed with each Common Share delivered to a Holder exercising the conversion privilege subsequent to such distribution date, shall not require an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph 14.4(f); PROVIDED THAT on the date, if any, on which a Holder exercising the conversion or exchange privilege would no longer be entitled to receive such security with a Common Share (other than as a result of the termination of all such securities), a distribution of such securities shall be deemed to have occurred and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in this paragraph 14.4(f) (and such day shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of the shareholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence).
(g) The reclassification of Common Shares into securities including securities other than Common Shares (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 14.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Shares to all holders of Common Shares (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph 14.4(f)), and (ii) a subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph 14.4(c)).
(h) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs 14.4(b), 14.4(d), 14.4(e) and 14.4(f), the current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the 20 trading days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the American Stock Exchange or, if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principal (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors) U.S. national or Canadian securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. national or Canadian securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System or, if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. national or Canadian securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Shares trade regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(i) For purposes of any computation under paragraph 14.4(d), the Aggregate Market Capitalization shall be deemed to be the product of (i) the current market price (as determined in paragraph 14.4(h) above) on the most recent date practically obtainable prior to the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to the distribution and (ii) the number of Common Shares outstanding on such date.
(j) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by paragraphs 14.4(a) through 14.4(g), as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for United States or Canadian federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph 14.4(j) and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.
(k) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph 14.4(k) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(l) For the purpose of this Section, each Holder of Securities shall be deemed to have failed to exercise any right to elect the kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend, subdivision, consolidation or reclassification (PROVIDED THAT if the kind or amount of securities receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, consolidation or reclassification is not the same for each non-electing share, then the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable upon such div

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a1) In case Gabelli at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b2) In case Gabelli at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to Holders of the Securities upon conversion) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrantswarrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c3) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(4) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Company and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section), the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(5) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1412 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with:
(A) the aggregate amount of any other such all-cash distributions made to all holders of its Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) has been made, and
(B) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) of this Section has been made, the amount of such cash distribution together with the amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) above being referred to herein as the "Aggregate Cash Distribution Amount") exceeds 10% of the product of (I) the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution, times (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the amount by which the Aggregate Cash Distribution Amount exceeds 10% of the product of the amounts described in clauses (I) and (II) above being referred to herein as the "Excess Amount"), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the conversion price shall be decreased in accordance with the following formula: M - (EA/O) AC = CP x---------- M Where: AC = the adjusted conversion price. CP = the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive the distribution. M = the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive the distribution. EA = the Excess Amount. O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive the distribution.
(6) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the applicable Securities, a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with:
(A) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (6) has been made, and
(B) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in paragraph (5) of this Section 1405 made to all holders of the Company's Common Stock within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of (I) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended), times (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula: (M x O) - C AC = CP x ----------------- M x (O - TS) Where: AC = the adjusted conversion price. CP = the conversion price immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time. M = the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) on the date of the Expiration Time. O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time. C = the amount of cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below). TS = the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
(7) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 1412 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).
(8) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the Nasdaq National Market or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(9) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (9)) would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (9) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph (9) shall be made to the nearest cent.
(10) The Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reasons. The Company from time to time may reduce the conversion price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) business days, the reduction is irrevocable during the period, and the Board of Directors of the Company shall have made a determination that such reduction would be in the best interest of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the conversion price is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to holders of record of the Securities a notice of the reduction at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the reduced conversion price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced conversion price and the period it will be in effect. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph (10) and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price (herein called the "Conversion Price") shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Reorganized BI shall (1) make or pay or make a dividend (or other distribution distribution) in shares of New Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of Gabelli payable in the Reorganized BI, (2) subdivide its outstanding shares of New Common StockStock into a greater number of shares or (3) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of New Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any New Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of New Common Stock that he would have owned immediately following such action had such New Note been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(b) In case the Reorganized BI shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of New Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of New Common Stock at a price per share less than the opening then current market price per share of business the New Common Stock (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) on the day following record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price, computed to the nearest cent, so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying:
(i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date fixed of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction, of which
(ii) the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of New Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price (determined by multiplying such total number of shares by the exercise price of such rights, options or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such current market price), and of which
(iii) the denominator shall be (A) the number of shares of New Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, immediately prior to such issuance, plus (B) the number of additional shares of New Common Stock which are so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders holders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants; provided, however, that if -------- ------- any such rights, options or warrants issued by the Reorganized BI as described in this subsection (b) are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events relating to control and provided for in shareholder rights plans, then the Conversion Price will not be adjusted as provided in this subsection (b) until such triggering events occur.
(c) In case the Reorganized BI or any subsidiary of the Reorganized BI shall distribute to all holders of New Common Stock, any of its assets, evidences of indebtedness, cash or other assets or shares of Capital Stock other than New Common Stock (including securities, but other than (x) dividends or distributions exclusively in cash or (y) any dividend or other distribution for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be reduced adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number then current market price per share of shares of the New Common Stock outstanding at the close of business (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) on the record date fixed for such determination mentioned below less the then fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Reorganized BI) of the portion of the assets so distributed applicable to one share of New Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a current market price per share less than of the Current Market Price New Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (as hereinafter definedh) on below, after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the fair market value of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or warrantsother securities so distributed applicable to one share of New Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of New Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such fair market value by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (c) and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.
(d) In case the Reorganized BI or any subsidiary of the Reorganized BI shall make any distribution consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions for which an adjustment is required to be made in accordance with (c) above, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation) to all holders of New Common Stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (ii) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Reorganized BI or any of its subsidiaries for New Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of the Reorganized BI's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the then current market price of the New Common Stock (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) times the number of shares of New Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date of such distribution, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number then current market price per share of shares of the New Common Stock outstanding at on such record date less the close amount of business the cash so distributed applicable to one share of New Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the New Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the cash so distributed applicable to one share of New Common Stock equals or exceeds such current market price per share of New Common Stock, or such current market price exceeds such amount of cash by less than $0.10 per share, the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d), and, to the extent applicable, the provisions of subsection (k) shall apply to such distribution.
(e) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer made by the Reorganized BI or any subsidiary of the Reorganized BI for all or any portion of the New Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 1.05 to all holders of New Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the New Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination plus Expiration Time times the number of shares of New Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the aggregate numerator shall be (i) the product of the offering then current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the total New Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of New Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of such rights or warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus Expiration Time less the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrantsPurchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationExpiration Time. For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Reorganized BI and described in a Board Resolution.
(f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the current market price per share of New Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of New Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Reorganized BI commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the date in question and the date before the " `ex' date," with respect to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. If on any such Trading Day the New Common Stock is not quoted by any organization referred to in the definition of Last Sale Price in Section 1.03 of this Exhibit I, the fair value of the New Common Stock on such day, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Reorganized BI, shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date," when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to an Offer, means the first date on which the New Common Stock trades regular way on the NASDAQ (or if not listed or admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange on which the New Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to receive such issuance, distribution or Offer.
(g) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Reorganized BI will be permitted to make such reductions in the Conversion Price as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the shares of New Common Stock.
(h) In the event the Reorganized BI elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Reorganized BI will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other Federal and state laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Conversion Price of the New Notes; provided that any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws.
(i) In any case in which this Section 1.05 shall require that an adjustment (including by reason of the last sentence of subsection (a) or (c) In above) be made immediately following a record date, the Reorganized BI may elect to defer the effectiveness of such adjustment (but in no event until a date later than the effective time of the event giving rise to such adjustment), in which case outstanding shares the Reorganized BI shall, with respect to any New Note converted after such record date and on and before such adjustment shall have become effective (i) defer paying any Cash payment pursuant to Section 1.03 of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater this Exhibit I or issuing to the Holder of such New Note the number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of New Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller and other Capital Stock of the Reorganized BI (or other assets or securities) issuable upon such conversion in excess of the number of shares of New Common Stock, Stock and other Capital Stock of the Reorganized BI issuable thereupon only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment, and (ii) not later than five Business Days after such adjustment shall have become effective, pay to such Holder the appropriate Cash payment pursuant to Section 1.03 of this Exhibit I and issue to such Holder the additional shares of New Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Reorganized BI issuable on such conversion.
(j) No adjustment in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective Conversion Price shall be proportionately increasedrequired unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1.0%) of the Conversion Price; provided, such reduction that any adjustments which by -------- reason of this subsection (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Exhibit I shall be made to the nearest cent or increaseto the nearest one- hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Reorganized BI shall promptly (i) File with the Trustee and each conversion agent an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (ii) mail or cause to become effective immediately after be mailed a notice of such adjustment to each holder of New Notes at his address as the opening of business same appears on the day following registry books of the day Reorganized BI.
(k) In the event that the Reorganized BI distributes rights (including rights to distributions referred to by paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 1.05 to the extent this paragraph (k) applies thereto) or warrants (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) pro rata to holders of New Common Stock, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Reorganized BI, the Reorganized BI shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any New Note surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of New Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of New Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such subdivision conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or combination becomes effectivewarrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of New Common Stock into which the principal amount of such Note so converted was convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been entitled on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants.

(For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Buffets Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Buffets but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Buffets Common Stock. Buffets will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Buffets Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedBuffets.)

For the purpose of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Buffets Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Buffets but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Buffets Common Stock. Buffets will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Buffets Common Stock held in the treasury of Buffets.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Buffets Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Buffets Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Buffets Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Buffets Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section, in case Buffets shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Buffets Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Buffets Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section, to the extent possible.

(For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 10.6(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them for a period of not more than 45 days, 60 days to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share or a Conversion Price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Section 10.6(b), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances) that are (i) deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) not exercisable; and (iii) issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"), shall be deemed not to have been distributed and no adjustment to the Conversion Price with respect thereto shall be made until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.6(b), (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be split or subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.6(a) applies) or evidences of its Indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.6(b) and (2) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 10.6(d) called the "Subject Securities"), unless the Company elects to reserve such Subject Securities for distribution to the Holders upon conversion of the Securities so that any such Holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Subject Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Securities into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of the Subject Securities, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value on such date of the portion of the Subject Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value of the portion of the Subject Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of Subject Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For purposes of this Section 10.6(d) and Sections 10.6(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.6(d) is otherwise applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of Indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants (other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants) (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 10.6(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 10.6(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 10.6(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 10.6(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 10.6(a). With respect to any shareholder rights plan existing on the date hereof or in the event that the Company implements any other shareholder rights plan, upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion); provided, a Holder who is a holder of Common Stock (or direct or indirect interests therein) at the time of conversion, but who is not entitled as such a holder to such rights pursuant to the terms of any such plan, shall not be eligible to receive any such rights hereunder. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a shareholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of the other provisions of this Section 10.6(d).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash, in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of all other such all-cash distributions to all holders of its Common Stock within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.6(e) or Section 10.6(f) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value of other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.6(e) or Section 10.6(f) has been made (such aggregate amount, the "Common Dividend Amount"), exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the "Market Capitalization"), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the amount by which the Common Dividend Amount exceeds 10% of the Market Capitalization and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer shall require the payment to holders of Common Stock of an aggregate cash plus the fair market value of other consideration payable that together with
(1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value of other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 10.6(e) or this Section 10.6(f) has been made, and
(2) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made within twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 10.6(e) or this Section 10.6(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price as of the time of expiration of such tender offer times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the expiration of such tender offer, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the expiration of such tender offer by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of expiration of the tender offer multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the date of exp

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 12.4(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 12.4(8)(b)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of shareholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such termination.rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(2), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 12.4(1) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.4(4) called the "Distribution Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Distribution Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Distribution Record Date of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or increasegreater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distribution Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Company's Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading -88- 100 market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event that the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of this Section 12.4. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.4 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 12.4(4). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to become the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or warrants described in Section 12.4(2)), pro rata to holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(4), make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who -89- 101 converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Distribution Record Date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of such rights or warrants shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to such rights or warrants; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to such rights or warrants. For purposes of this Section 12.4(4) and Sections 12.4(1) and (2), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(4) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.4(4) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.4(1) and (2) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Distribution Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 12.4(1) and (2) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 12.4(1).
(5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any quarterly period does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 12.4(5) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices (determined as set forth in Section 12.4(8)(a)) during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and (z) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4(4)), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Distribution Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on -90- 102 the Distribution Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the day Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 12.4(5) as a result of a distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such subdivision distribution exceeds the amount of the quarterly cash dividend permitted to be excluded pursuant hereto. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 12.4(5) above as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the full amount of the distribution.
(6) In case a tender or combination becomes effective.exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) that exceeds the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares exclusively in Common Shares or shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any other class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable in the Company which dividend or distribution includes Common StockShares, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes purpose of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares number of Common Stock Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or issuances make any distribution on Common Shares held in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe treasury of the Company.)
(b) In Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue to all holders of the Common Shares, rights or warrants to all or substantially all entitling the holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (j) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock Shares which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of Common Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of Common Shares held in the treasury of the Company. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Common Shares evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (j) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and other assets to be distributed applicable to one Common Share and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (j) of this Section, to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or distribution that includes Common Shares, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares shall be deemed to be (x) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets or shares of capital stock other than such Common Shares, such rights or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any conversion price reduction required by this paragraph (d)) immediately followed by (y) in the case of such Common Shares or such rights or warrants, a dividend or distribution thereof (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, except any Common Shares included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of
(a) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of Common Shares as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any conditions (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of the Common Shares cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section or in connection with a transaction to which Section 1311 applies) in an aggregate amount that, together with (A) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of the Common Shares made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made previously and (B) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of such date of determination of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Shares consummated within the 12 months preceding such date of determination and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds the greater of (I) 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (j) of this Section) on such date of determination times the number of Common Shares outstanding on such date or (II) the Company's retained earnings on the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date of determination by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (j) of this Section) on such date less the amount of cash to be distributed at such time applicable to one Common Share and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after such date.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Shares shall be consummated and such tender offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it shall have been amended) that, together with (A) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the Expiration Time of the other consideration paid in respect of any other tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Shares consummated within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made previously and (B) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Common Shares made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds the greater of (I) 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (j) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time or (II) the Company's retained earnings as of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (x) the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (j) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered shares at the Expiration Time minus (y) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders upon consummation of such tender offer and the denominator shall be the product of (A) such Current Market Price times (B) such number of outstanding shares at the Expiration Time minus the number of shares accepted for payment in such tender offer (the "Purchased Shares"), such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time; provided, that if the number of Purchased Shares or the aggregate consideration payable therefor have not been finally determined by such opening of business, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall, pending such final determination, be made based upon the preliminarily announced results of such tender offer, and, after such final determination shall have been made, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall be made based upon the number of Purchased Shares and the aggregate consideration payable therefor as so finally determined.
(g) In case of a tender or exchange offer made by a Person other than the Company or any Subsidiary for an amount which increases the offeror's ownership of Common Shares to more than 25% of the Common Shares outstanding and shall involve the payment by such person of consideration per share having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) at the last time (the "Offer Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) that exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and in which, as of the Offer Expiration Time the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the conversion price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Offer Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Offer Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding (less any Offer Purchased Shares) on the 77 Offer Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Offer Expiration Time. In the event that such person is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but such person is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the conversion price shall again be adjusted to be the conversion price which would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment described in this Section 1304 shall not be made if, as of the Offer Expiration Time, the offering documents with respect to such offer disclose a plan or intention to cause the Company to engage in any transaction described in Article Eight.
(h) In case the Company shall issue Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, Common Shares at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) that is less than the then Current Market Price of the Common Shares (but excluding, among other things, issuances: (a) pursuant to any bona fide plan for the benefit of employees, directors or consultants of the Company now or hereafter in effect; (b) to acquire all or any portion of a business in an arm's-length transaction between the Company and an unaffiliated third party including, if applicable, issuances upon exercise of options or warrants assumed in connection with such an acquisition; (c) in a bona fide public offering pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting (or a similar type of offering made pursuant to Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act) or sales at the market pursuant to a continuous

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price at which a share of Convertible PIK Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(ai) In case Gabelli the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock or shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any other class or series of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable in the Corporation which dividend or distribution includes or is convertible into Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting or included in such dividend or other distributiondistribution (or in the case of a dividend consisting of securities convertible into Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock into which such securities are convertible), such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this subparagraph (i), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Corporation.
(ii) In case the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue (a) Common Stock (excluding any restricted stock issued to management of the Company and distributions or issuances in respect thereofapproved by the Board), shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all (excluding incentive stock options approved by the Board) entitling the holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or (c) any security convertible into Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in subparagraph (vi) of this Section VI(c)) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall 58 be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription, exercise, conversion or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. In case any rights, warrants or convertible securities referred to in this subparagraph (ii) in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire unexercised within 45 days after the same shall have been distributed or issued by the Corporation, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired rights or warrants.
(ciii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(iv) Subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph (iv), in case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class or series of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, warrants or convertible securities referred to in subparagraph (ii) of this Section VI(c), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in subparagraph (i) of this Section VI(c)), the Conversion Price in effect on the day following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution (the date fixed for payment being referred to as the "Reference Date") shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subparagraph (vi) of this Section VI(c)) of the Common Stock on the Reference Date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Reference Date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Reference Date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this subparagraph (iv) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the current market price per share of Common Stock pursuant to subparagraph (vi) of this Section VI(c). For purposes of this subparagraph (iv), any dividend 59 or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (making any conversion price reduction required by this subparagraph (iv)) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any further Conversion Price reduction required by subparagraph (i) or (ii) of this Section VI(c)), except (A) the Reference Date of such dividend or distribution as defined in this subparagraph (iv) shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution," "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section VI(c) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of subparagraph (i) of this Section VI(c)).
(v) In case the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock exclusively in cash (excluding (A) cash that is part of a distribution referred to in (iv) above and (B) in the case of any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock, the portion thereof that does not exceed the per share amount of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section VI(c)), or all of such quarterly cash dividend if the amount thereof per share of Common Stock multiplied by four does not exceed 5% of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (vi) of this Section VI(c)) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day (as defined in Section VI(h)) next preceding the date of declaration of such dividend), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subparagraph (vi) of this Section VI(c)) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution less the amount of cash so distributed and not excluded as provided above applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution.
(vi) For the purpose of any computation under subparagraph (ii), (iv) or (v) of this Section VI(c), the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices (as defined in Section VI(h)) for the five consecutive Trading Days ending with and including the date in question; provided, however, that (1) if the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to subparagraph (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above ("Other Event") occurs after the fifth Trading Day prior to the date in question and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation (the "Current Event"), the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the "ex" date for such Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such Other 60 Event, (2) if the "ex" date for any Other Event occurs after the "ex" date for the Current Event and on or prior to the date in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the "ex" date for any Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such Other Event, (3) if the "ex" date for any Other Event occurs on the "ex" date for the Current Event, one of those events shall be deemed for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of this proviso to have an "ex" date occurring prior to the "ex" date for the other event, and (4) if the "ex" date for the Current Event is on or prior to the date in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (2) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value on the date in question (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of paragraph (iv) or (v) of Section VI(c), whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of the portion of the rights, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex" date, (x) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution and (y) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(vii) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph (vii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment or in any conversion pursuant to this Section VI.
(viii) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided:
(1) the Corporation shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Treasurer of the Corporation setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed with the transfer agent for the Convertible PIK Preferred Stock; and
(2) as soon as practicable after the adjustment, the Corporation shall mail to all record holders of Convertible PIK Preferred Stock at their last address as they shall appear upon the stock transfer books of the Corporation a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price.
(ix) The Corporation from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty days, the reduction is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have made a determination that such reduction would be in the best interest of the Corporation, which determination shall be 61 conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall mail to holders of record of the Convertible PIK Preferred Stock a notice of the reduction at least fifteen days prior to the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli shall the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class in shares of Capital Common Stock to all holders of Gabelli payable in its outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination determination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such . Such reduction to become becomes effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 13.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them, them (for a period of not more than 45 days, 60 days after such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) less than the Current Market Sale Price (as hereinafter defined) of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date fixed for of announcement of such issuance, the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price announcement by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination of announcement, plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Sale Price of Common Stock actually purchased upon on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (determined by multiplying such total number of shares so offered by the exercise price of such rights or warrants would have purchased at and dividing the product so obtained by such Current Market Price Sale Price), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination of announcement plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights offered for subscription or warrantspurchase or into which convertible, such reduction to exchangeable or exercisable, securities so offered are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date of announcement of such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Sale Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(i) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 13.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.04(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 13.04(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 13.04(d)) called the “Distributed Securities”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock. Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of securities pursuant to this Article 13 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 13.04(b) or this Section 13.04(d).
(ii) For the purposes of this Section 13.04(d), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.04(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 13.04(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.04(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
(iii) For purposes of this Section 13.04(d) and Sections 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(d) is applicable that also includes (x) shares of Common Stock, (y) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to which Section 13.04(b) applies (or any combination thereof), or (z) a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.04(c) applies or shall be deemed instead to be:
(A) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination to which Sections 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 13.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by,
(B) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:
(1) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution,” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a), (y) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,” within the meaning of Section 13.04(b) and (z) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 13.04(c); and
(2) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.
(e) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its shares of Common Stock, cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.05 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 13.04(d)) (on a per-share basis, the “Cash Dividend Amount”), then, and in each case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business of such Record Date by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less the Cash Dividend Amount; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that combined together with the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Sale Price of the Common Stock as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended), times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fra

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be 62 reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 15.4 is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of shareholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be 63 proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.4(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.4(2), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 15.4(1) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.4(4) called the "Distribution Notes")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Distribution Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Distribution Record Date of the portion of the Distribution Notes so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distribution Notes so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or increasegreater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distribution Notes such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Note on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Company's Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.4(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event that the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Notes the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of this Section 15.4. 64 Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.4 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.4 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 15.4(4). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.4 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to become the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or warrants described in Section 15.4(2)), pro rata to holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.4(4), make proper provision so that each holder of a Note who converts such Note (or any portion thereof) after the Distribution Record Date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of such rights or warrants shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to such rights or 65 warrants; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Note so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to such rights or warrants. For purposes of this Section 15.4(4) and Sections 15.4(1) and (2), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.4(4) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.4(4) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.4(1) and (2) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Distribution Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 15.4(1) and (2) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.4(1).
(5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any quarterly period does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 15.4(5) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices (determined as set forth in Section 15.4(8)(a)) during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and (z) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 15.4(4)), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Distribution Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the day Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current 66 Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Note on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 15.4(5) as a result of a distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.distribution exceeds the amount of the quarterly cash dividend permitted to be excluded pursuant hereto.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph, the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. If any such rights or warrants shall expire without having been exercised, the Conversion Price shall thereupon be readjusted to eliminate the amount of its adjustment due to their issuance.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Company and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a board resolution delivered to each holder of Convertible Debentures) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 9.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective' within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section).
(f) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (b) and (d) of this Section, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the 10 consecutive Business Days selected by the Company commencing not less than 10 nor more than 20 Business Days before the day in question. The closing price for each day shall be the closing price for such day reported in the Wall Street Journal or, if not so reported, the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose.
(g) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In Subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrantswarrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantsrepurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section, to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (x) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights, options or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any conversion price reduction required by paragraph (d)) immediately followed by (y) in the case of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants, dividend or distribution thereof (making any further conversion price reduction required by (a) and (b) of this Section, except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of shares of Common Stock as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any conditions (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.11 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made, exceeds 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the conversion price shall be reduced so that same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 1% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date for determination.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration paid or payable in respect of any other tender offer, of consideration paid or payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made, exceed 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it my be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) as of the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed to be accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities, including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 13.11 applies), shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision become effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section). Rights, options or warrants issued by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, in each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"), shall for purposes of paragraphs (b) and (d) above not be deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. Notwithstanding any provision of paragraphs (b) and (d) above to the contrary, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (d) above for any dividend, distribution or issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock if the Company makes proper provision so that each Holder of a Note who converts such Note (or any portion thereof) after the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such issuance, dividend or distribution, shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, that number of rights, options or warrants as would have been issuable to a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares to which the Notes were convertible as of the date fixed for such issuance, dividend or distribution (with adjustments to the rights and privileges under such rights, options or warrants given effect as if such rights, options or warrants had been issued as of such date), provided that the foregoing provisions set forth in this sentence shall only apply to the extent (and so long as) such rights, options or warrants receivable upon conversion of the Notes would be exercisable without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least 90 days following conversion of the Notes. In addition, in the event of any issuance or distribution of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, which shall have resulted in an adjustment to the conversion price with respect to the Notes under paragraph (b) or (d) above, (a) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the conversion price shall be readjusted upon such final

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of Record Date with respect to stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 10.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be split or subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.06(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.06(b), (2) dividends and distributions (A) in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (B) paid exclusively in cash and (3) any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 10.07 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 10.06(d) called the "Subject Securities"), unless the Company elects to reserve such Subject Securities for distribution to the Holders upon conversion of the Securities so that any such Holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Subject Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Securities into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of the Subject Securities, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value on such date of the portion of the Subject Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value of the portion of the Subject Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of Subject Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For purposes of this Section 10.06(d), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances) that are (i) deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) not exercisable; and (iii) issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event") shall be deemed not to have been distributed and no adjustment to the Conversion Price with respect thereto shall be made until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.06(d), (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued. For purposes of this Section 10.06(d) and Sections 10.06(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.06(d) is otherwise applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants (other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants) (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 10.06(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 10.06(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record

(For the purposes purpose of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue to all holders of any class of Common Stock, rights or warrants to all or substantially all entitling the holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of any class of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section, to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (x) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any conversion price reduction required by this paragraph (d)) immediately followed by (y) in the case of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants, a dividend or distribution thereof (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of shares of Common Stock as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any conditions (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of any class of Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section or in connection with a transaction to which Section 13.11 applies) in an aggregate amount that, together with (A) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of any class of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made previously and (B) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of such date of determination of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding such date of determination and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date of determination times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date of determination by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the amount of cash to be distributed at such time applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after such date.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it shall have been amended) that, together with (A) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) as of the Expiration Time of the other consideration paid in respect of any other tender offer by the Company or a Significant Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made previously and (B) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of any class of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds the 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (x) the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares at the Expiration Time minus (y) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders upon consummation of such tender offer and the denominator shall be the product of (A) such Current Market Price times (B) such number of outstanding shares at the Expiration Time minus the number of shares accepted for payment in such tender offer (the "Purchased Shares"), such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time; provided, -------- that if the number of Purchased Shares or the aggregate consideration payable therefor have not been finally determined by such opening of business, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall, pending such final determination, be made based upon the preliminarily announced results of such tender offer, and, after such final determination shall have been made, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall be made based upon the number of Purchased Shares and the aggregate consideration payable therefor as so finally determined.
(g) The reclassification of any class of Common Stock into securities which include securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 13.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of such class of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective." within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section). Rights or warrants issued by the Company to all holders of any class of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, in each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"), shall for purposes of this Section 13.4 not be deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture are subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.4 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrant which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which

(ai) In case Gabelli the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli the Corporation payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Corporation, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(bii) In case Gabelli the Corporation shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of either or substantially all holders both classes of its Common Stock Shares, entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the applicable Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) of such shares on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares Common Shares of Common Stock each class which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise Shares of such rights class so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price for the shares of such class and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares Common Shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights each class so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. In case any rights or warrants referred to in this paragraph in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire unexercised, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired and unexercised rights or warrants.
(ciii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(iv) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of either or both classes of its Common Shares evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock of any class or series, other securities, cash or assets (other than Stapled Securities (as hereinafter defined), Common Stock or rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (g)(ii) and other than pursuant to a merger or consolidation to which paragraph (i) applies or a dividend or distribution payable exclusively in cash), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of holders entitled to receive such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such determination minus the quotient obtained by dividing (x) an amount equal to the then aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets so distributed by (y) the number of Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price for such purposes.
(v) In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution to all holders of either or both classes of its Common Shares payable exclusively in cash (other than pursuant to a merger or consolidation to which paragraph (i) applies) in an aggregate amount that, when combined with (x) the aggregate amount paid in respect of all other distributions to all holders of either or both classes of its Common Shares paid exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the determination of holders entitled to receive such distribution to the extent such amount has not already been applied in a prior adjustment pursuant to this paragraph and (y) the aggregate Premium Amount (as hereinafter defined) paid in respect of all tender or exchange offers by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation for any Common Shares that expired within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for such determination to the extent such Premium Amount has not already been applied in a prior adjustment pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, exceeds 10% of the sum of the following product for each class of Common Shares (A) the Current Market Price of such class on the date fixed for such determination and (B) the number of Common Shares of such class outstanding on the date fixed for such determination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the Per Share Distribution Amount (as hereinafter defined) paid in such distribution and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination.
(vi) In case the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation shall consummate a tender or exchange offer for any Common Shares and pay a Premium Amount in respect thereof in an amount that, when combined with (x) the aggregate amount paid in respect of all distributions to all holders of either or both classes of its Common Shares paid exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of expiration of such tender or exchange offer to the extent such amount has not already been applied in a prior adjustment pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph and (y) the aggregate Premium Amount paid in respect of all other tender or exchange offers by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation any Common Shares that expired within the 12 months preceding such date of expiration to the extent such Premium Amount has not already been applied in a prior adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, exceeds 10% of the sum of the following product for each class of Common Shares (A) the Current Market Price of such class on such date of expiration and (B) the Post-Tender Offer Number of Common Shares of such class, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of expiration of such tender or exchange offer shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such date of expiration minus the Per Share Premium Amount (as hereinafter defined) paid in such tender or exchange offer and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date of expiration.
(vii) In case the Corporation shall issue any Common Shares or any Common Share Equivalent (as hereinafter defined) in a transaction other than an Exempt Transaction (as hereinafter defined) at a price per share of the relevant class of Common Shares that is below 95% of the most recent Closing Price for such class of Common Shares available at the time at which the Corporation agreed to make such issuance (the "Market Price"), the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date on which the Company agreed to such issuance (the "Pricing Date") shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding on a fully diluted basis at the close of business on the Pricing Date if such issuance had not occurred plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate purchase price paid in such sale would have purchased at the Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the Pricing Date on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to such issuance, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Pricing Date. For purposes of the foregoing, the purchase price per Common Share for any Common Share Equivalent shall be deemed to be the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the purchase price paid for such Common Share Equivalent plus any additional consideration that the holder thereof must pay in order to convert, exchange or exercise such Common Share Equivalent for the relevant class of Common Shares and (ii) the number of Common Shares issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise, in each case without regard to antidilution adjustments. In case any Common Share Equivalent in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made under this paragraph shall have expired or been terminated or redeemed without having been converted, exchanged or exercised for Common Shares, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration, termination or redemption to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the issuance of such Common Share Equivalent.
(viii) The Corporation may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by the foregoing paragraphs, as it considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Shares or rights to purchase Common Shares resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. In addition, the Corporation from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty days, the reduction is irrevocable during the period, and the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have made a determination that such reduction would be in the best interest of the Corporation, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall mail to holders of record of the Series A a notice of the reduction at least fifteen days prior to the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect.
(ix) The Corporation may not engage in any transaction if, as a result thereof, the Conversion Price would be reduced to below the par value per share of the Common Stock.
(x) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock exclusively in Common Stock or shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any other class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable in the Company which dividend or distribution includes Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes purpose of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue to all holders of the Common Stock, rights or warrants to all or substantially all entitling the holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Applicable Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Applicable Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and to paragraph (g) of this Section, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined in accordance with the Valuation Procedure) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section, to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (x) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any Conversion Price reduction required by this paragraph (d)) immediately followed by (y) in the case of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants, a dividend or distribution thereof (making any further Conversion Price reduction required by paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of shares of Common Stock as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any conditions (making any further Conversion Price reduction required by paragraph (a) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of the Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution resulting in an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section or in connection with a transaction to which Section 1312 applies) in an aggregate amount that, together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of the Common Stock of cash within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made previously and (ii) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined in accordance with the Valuation Procedure) as of such date of determination of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding such date of determination and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date of determination times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date of determination by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the amount of cash to be distributed at such time applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after such date.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined in accordance with the Valuation Procedure) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it shall have been amended) that, together with (i) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined in accordance with the Valuation Procedure) as of the Expiration Time of the other consideration paid in respect of any other tender offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made previously and (ii) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made previously, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (x) the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) immediately prior to the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time minus (y) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders upon consummation of such tender offer and the denominator shall be the product of (A) such Current Market Price times (B) such number of outstanding shares at the Expiration Time minus the number of shares accepted for payment in such tender offer (the "Purchased Shares"), such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time; provided, however, that if the number of Purchased Shares or the aggregate consideration payable therefor have not been finally determined by such opening of business, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall, pending such final determination, be made based upon the preliminarily announced results of such tender offer, and, after such final determination shall have been made, the adjustment required by this paragraph (f) shall be made based upon the number of Purchased Shares and the aggregate consideration payable therefor as so finally determined.
(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities which include securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 1312 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such distribution" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section). Rights or warrants issued by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, in each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"), shall for purposes of this Section 1304 not be deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture are subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 1304 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrant which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1304 to the contrary, rights, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, other securities, cash or other assets (including, without limitation, any rights distributed pursuant to any stockholder rights plan) shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 1304 if the Company makes proper provision so that each holder of Securities who converts a Security (or any portion thereof) after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversions, the amount and kind of such distributions that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had, immediately prior to such determination date, converted such Security into Common Stock.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 8.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held that would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) defined below), on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, warrants the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of shareholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period warrants by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which that the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus (B) the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantswarrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such non-issued rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be conclusively determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 8.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 8.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash from retained earnings or current earnings or (y) referred to in Section 8.5(a)), any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 8.5(d) called the "Securities," then, in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Purchaser upon the conversion of the Note so that the Purchaser will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which it is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which it would have received if it had converted the Note into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 8.5(i)), for such distribution of the Securities), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less (B) the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Purchaser shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 8.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock, which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 8.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 8.5 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 8.5(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Agreement, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 8.5 was made, (i) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (ii) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 8.5(d) and Sections 8.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 8.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (i) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 8.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (ii) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 8.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 8.5(a) and (b), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 8.5(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend, tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash, then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction, (ii) the numerator of which shall be (A) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date less (B) the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that the Purchaser shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash the Purchaser would have received had it converted the Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 8.5(e) as a result of a distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such distribution exceeds the amount of the quarterly cash dividend permitted to be excluded pursuant hereto. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 8.5(e) above as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the full amount of the distribution.
(f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to shareholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the Expiration Time multiplied by (B) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (B) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) on the Expiration Time and (y) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
(g) In case of a tender or exchange offer made by a Person other than the Company or any Subsidiary for an amount that increases the offeror's ownership of Common Stock to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock outstanding and shall involve the payment by such Person o

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of Record Date with respect to stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 10.06(a) is declared -41- but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be split or subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.06(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.06(b), (2) dividends and distributions (A) in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (B) paid exclusively in cash and (3) any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 10.07 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 10.06(d) called the "SUBJECT SECURITIES"), unless the Company elects to reserve such Subject Securities for distribution to the Holders upon conversion of the Securities so that any such Holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Subject Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Securities into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution of the Subject Securities, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date less the fair market value on such date of the portion of the Subject Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the then fair market value of the portion of the Subject Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of Subject Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For purposes of this Section 10.06(d), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances) that are (i) deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) not exercisable; and (iii) issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("TRIGGER EVENT") shall be deemed not to have been distributed and no adjustment to the Conversion Price with respect thereto shall be made until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If any such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.06(d), (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued. For purposes of this Section 10.06(d) and Sections 10.06(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.06(d) is otherwise applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants (other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants) (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 10.06(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 10.06(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 10.06(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 10.06(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 10.06(a). With respect to any stockholder rights plan existing on the date hereof or in the event that the Company implements any other stockholder rights plan, upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion); PROVIDED, a Holder who is a holder of Common Stock (or direct or indirect interests therein) at the time of conversion, but who is not entitled as such a holder to such rights pursuant to the terms of any such plan, shall not be eligible to receive any such rights hereunder. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of the other provisions of this Section 10.06(d) and no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made.
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 10.07 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 10.06(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of all other such all-cash distributions to all holders of its Common Stock within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 10.06(f) has been made (such aggregate amount, the "COMMON DIVIDEND AMOUNT"), exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the "MARKET CAPITALIZATION"), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the amount by which the Common Dividend Amount exceeds 10% of the Market Capitalization and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer shall require the payment to holders of Common Stock of an aggregate consideration that together with
(1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06(f) has been made, and
(2) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made within twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 10.06(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price as of the time of expiration of such tender offer times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the expiration of such tender offer, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the expiration of such tender

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price with respect to any Security which is convertible into for Common Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli If the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock equity capital of Gabelli the Company which is payable in Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares referred to in the preceding clause and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock Shares entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per Common Share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock Shares which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination.
(c) In case If outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall each be combined consolidated into a smaller number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective effectively immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or consolidation becomes effective.
(d) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (other than periodic dividends declared or paid in accordance with the Company's practice as established from time to time) to all holders of its Common Shares cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph 14.4(f)) in an aggregate amount that, together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other distribution (other than periodic dividends declared or paid in accordance with the Company's practice as established from time to time) to all holders of its Common Shares made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph 14.4(d) has been made and (ii) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer or other offer to purchase by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Company's Common Shares concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph 14.4(e) has been made, exceeds [______]% of the Company's Aggregate Market Capitalization (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(i)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph 14.4(d) by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the current market price per Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on such date less the amount of cash so distributed applicable to one Common Share and (ii) the denominator shall be such current market price per Common Share, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash dividend; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to purchase securities of the Company if a Holder of Securities would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights upon conversion or exchange at any time of such Securities into Common Shares or other such securities unless such rights are subsequently redeemed by the Company, in which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of this Section as a dividend on the Common Shares or other such securities. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders or holders of other such securities entitled to receive such distribution; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(e) If an issuer bid, tender offer or other offer to purchase made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Shares of the Company shall be consummated and such issuer bid, tender offer or other offer to purchase shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders may be made pursuant to such bid or offer (as it may be amended) or Common Shares may be deposited pursuant to such other offer to purchase that, together with (i) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the Expiration Time, of consideration payable in respect of any issuer bid, tender offer or other offer to purchase by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Shares of the Company consummated within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph 14.4(d) or this paragraph 14.4(e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of any distributions (other than periodic dividends declared or paid in accordance with the Company's practice as established from time to time) to all holders of the Common Shares of the Company made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Time and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph 14.4(d) or this paragraph 14.4(e) has been made, exceeds [_____]% of the product of the current market price per Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on the Expiration Time times the number of Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered or deposited shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the current market price per Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on the Expiration Time times the number of Common Shares outstanding (including any tendered or deposited shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer or other offer to purchase) of all shares validly tendered or deposited and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share on the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time minus the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.
(f) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph 14.4(b), any cash dividends referred to in paragraph 14.4(d) and any dividends or distributions referred to in paragraph 14.4(a)), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per Common Share (determined as provided in paragraph 14.4(h)) on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one Common Share and the denominator shall be such current market price per Common Share, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. For the purposes of this paragraph 14.4(f), the distribution of a security which is distributed not only to the holders of the Common Shares on the date fixed for the distribution of such security, but also is distributed with each Common Share delivered to a Holder exercising the conversion privilege subsequent to such distribution date, shall not require an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph 14.4(f); PROVIDED THAT on the date, if any, on which a Holder exercising the conversion or exchange privilege would no longer be entitled to receive such security with a Common Share (other than as a result of the termination of all such securities), a distribution of such securities shall be deemed to have occurred and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in this paragraph 14.4(f) (and such day shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of the shareholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence).
(g) The reclassification of Common Shares into securities including securities other than Common Shares (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 14.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Shares to all holders of Common Shares (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph 14.4(f)), and (ii) a subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph 14.4(c)).
(h) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs 14.4(b), 14.4(d), 14.4(e) and 14.4(f), the current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the 20 trading days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the American Stock Exchange or, if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principal (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors) U.S. national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. national securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System or, if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the- counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Shares trade regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(i) For purposes of any computation under paragraph 14.4(d), the Aggregate Market Capitalization shall be deemed to be the product of (i) the current market price (as determined in paragraph 14.4(h) above) on the most recent date practically obtainable prior to the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to the distribution and (ii) the number of Common Shares outstanding on such date.
(j) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by paragraphs 14.4(a) through 14.4(g), as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph 14.4(j) and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.
(k) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph 14.4(k) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(l) For the purpose of this Section, each Holder of Securities shall be deemed to have failed to exercise any right to elect the kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend, subdivision, consolidation or reclassification (PROVIDED THAT if the kind or amount of securities receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, consolidation or reclassification is not the same for each non-electing share, then the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination

(a) In case Gabelli If the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date (as defined in Section 12.05(g)) fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 12.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 12.05(g)) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Regular Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Issuer shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock of Gabelli payable the Issuer in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Issuer but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Issuer will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Issuer.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Issuer shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price market price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Issuer but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Issuer will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Issuer.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Issuer shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Issuer and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination, reduced by the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 13.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution” and “the date fixed for such determination”) within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section, and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination becomes effective”, as the case may be, and “the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective” within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section).
(f) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (b) and (d) of this Section, the market price on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily market prices for the ten consecutive Business Days selected by the Issuer commencing not less than ten nor more than 80 Business Days before the day in question. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way on the composite tape or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Issuer for that purpose.
(g) The Issuer may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by Alderwoods as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli shall pay or make If Alderwoods hereafter pays a dividend or other makes a distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Alderwoods Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Alderwoods Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately after the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Alderwoods Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction reduction, subject to Alderwoods' rights under Section 14.05(k), to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 14.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held that would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination.
(c) In case If outstanding shares of Alderwoods Common Stock shall be are subdivided into a greater number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately after the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Alderwoods Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on immediately after the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(c) If Alderwoods distributes to all holders of Alderwoods Common Stock, as such, (i) evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of surplus or net profits legally available therefor or those distributions described in Section 14.05(a)) of Alderwoods or any Subsidiary of Alderwoods, (ii) shares of capital stock of Alderwoods or any Subsidiary of Alderwoods (excluding Alderwoods Common Stock), (iii) securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of Alderwoods (including Alderwoods Common Stock or capital stock of any other class) or any Subsidiary of Alderwoods, or (iv) any rights, options or warrants to purchase any of the foregoing (excluding those described in Section 14.05(d)), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (not to be more than one), the numerator of which will be the Current Market Price (as defined below) per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on the record date for such distribution less the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Alderwoods, whose determination will be conclusive if based on the financial advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities or rights, options or warrants so distributed on account of one share of Alderwoods Common Stock and the denominator of which will be such Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If the record date for any such distribution is fixed but such distribution is not thereafter made, then the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Except as provided in Section 14.05(h), no further adjustments will be made upon the actual conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the actual exercise of such rights, options or warrants. If the fair value (as so determined) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities or rights, options or warrants so distributed on account of one share of Alderwoods Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on the record date for such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, then provision will be made so that the Holder of a Subordinated Note will be entitled to receive the sum of (A) the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock that, if such Subordinated Note had been converted immediately prior to such record date, such Holder would have received upon conversion and (B) such evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities or rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such distribution by virtue of such Holder's ownership of such shares.
(d) If Alderwoods issues rights, options or warrants to all holders of outstanding shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, as such, entitling the holders of such rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Alderwoods Common Stock at a price per share that is lower on the record date mentioned below than the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on such record date, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (not to be greater than one), the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock which the aggregate subscription or purchase price of the total number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock so offered would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on such record date, and the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Alderwoods Common Stock offered by such rights, options or warrants for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment will become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. If the record date for any such issuance is fixed but such issuance is not thereafter made, then the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. If such subscription or purchase price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which is in a form other than cash, the fair value of such consideration will be as determined by the Board of Directors of Alderwoods, whose determination will be conclusive if based on the financial advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm. Except as provided in Section 14.05(h), no further adjustments of the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issue of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.
(e) If Alderwoods issues shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or rights, options or warrants, entitling the holders of such rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Alderwoods Common Stock (excluding shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, convertible or exchangeable securities or rights, options or warrants issued in any of the transactions described in paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 14.05) for a purchase price per share of such Alderwoods Common Stock, for a conversion or exchange price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock initially deliverable upon conversion or exchange of such securities or for a subscription or purchase price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock initially deliverable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants, that is less than the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on the date the purchase, conversion, exchange or subscription price of such additional shares of Alderwoods Common Stock is first fixed, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction (not to be greater than one), the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock outstanding on the date of such issuance plus the number of additional shares of Alderwoods Common Stock which the aggregate purchase, conversion, exchange or subscription price received or receivable by Alderwoods for such additional shares of Alderwoods Common Stock would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on such date, and the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date plus the number of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock so issued or issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after such shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities are issued. If such purchase, conversion, exchange or subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which is in a form other than cash, the fair value of such consideration will be as determined by the Board of Directors of Alderwoods, whose determination will be conclusive if based on the financial advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm. Except as provided in Section 14.05(h), no further adjustment will be made upon the actual issue of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or upon exercise of rights, options or warrants entitling the holder of such rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Alderwoods Common Stock.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, the "CURRENT MARKET PRICE" per share of Alderwoods Common Stock on any date will be the average of the daily Closing Prices for 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing 30 Trading Days before the date of such computation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Current Market Price per share of Alderwoods Common Stock is determined during a period following the announcement of (i) a dividend or distribution on Alderwoods Common Stock payable in shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Alderwoods Common Stock or (ii) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of shares of Alderwoods Common Stock, and prior to the expiration of 30 Trading Days after the ex-dividend date of such dividend or distribution, or the issuance date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the Current Market Price per share will be appropriately adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading or to reflect the Current Market Price per share per Alderwoods Common Stock equivalent. The closing price for each day (the "CLOSING PRICE") will be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which shares of Alderwoods Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading or, if shares of Alderwoods Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or such other system then in use, or, if on any such date shares of Alderwoods Common Stock are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in shares of Alderwoods Common Stock selected by the Board of Directors of Alderwoods.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all Holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the 66 number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 13.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders Holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered for subscription or purchase or into which convertible securities so offered are convertible; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Company may, at its option and in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, elect to distribute or reserve for distribution the PRO RATA portion of such rights or warrants so that each Holder of Securities shall receive, or shall have the right to receive upon conversion, as the case may be, the amount of such rights or warrants that such Holder of Securities would have received if such Holder of Securities had converted such Securities on the date fixed for determination of stockholders to receive such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) are not delivered, after the expiration of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually issued). In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants or to be received upon exercise of such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all Holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 13.05(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.05(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 13.05(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 13.05(d) called the "DISTRIBUTED SECURITIES"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board if Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.05(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of securities pursuant to this Article 13 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 13.05(b) or this Section 13.05(d). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all Holders of Common Stock entitling the Holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("TRIGGER EVENT"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.05 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.05 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 13.05(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the Holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.05 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a Holder or Holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such Holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable Holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 13.05(d) and Sections 13.05(a) AND (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.05(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 13.05(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 13.05(a) AND (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 13.05(a) AND (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 13.05(a).

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price with respect to any Security which is convertible into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli shall the Parent Guarantor shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Securities are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend in shares of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock to holders of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, respectively, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, respectively, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, respectively, or (iv) make a dividend distribution in shares of Jacor Common Stock or other distribution on any class Jacor Preferred Stock to holders of Capital Jacor Common Stock of Gabelli payable in Common or Jacor Preferred Stock, respectively, then the Conversion Price in effect at immediately before such action shall be adjusted so that the opening Holders of business on the day such Securities, upon conversion thereof into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock immediately following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders such event, shall be entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number kind and amount of shares of Jacor Common Stock outstanding at or Jacor Preferred Stock which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such event if such Securities had been converted immediately before the close of business on record date (or, if no record date, the date fixed effective date) for such determination and the denominator event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.3(1) shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective retroactively immediately after the opening record date in the case of business on a dividend or distribution and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the day following effective date in the date fixed for such determinationcase of a subdivision or combination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth hereinthis Section 13.3(1), shares each Holder of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, Securities shall be disregardeddeemed to have failed to exercise any right to elect the kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution (PROVIDED, that if the kind or amount of securities receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares).)
(b2) In case Gabelli shall the Parent Guarantor shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock entitling them, them (for a period of not more than expiring within 45 days, days after the record date for such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock at such record date (treating the price per share of the securities convertible into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock as hereinafter definedequal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion of such security into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock initially underlying such convertible security), the Conversion Price with respect to such Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock outstanding on the date fixed of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are initially convertible), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of securities which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of securities so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate purchase price of the convertible securities so offered plus the aggregate amount of any additional consideration initially payable upon conversion of such securities into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock) would purchase at such Current Market Price of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
(3) In the case the Parent Guarantor shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Securities are outstanding, distribute to all holders of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Parent Guarantor is the continuing corporation and the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of its indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding (i) regular periodic cash dividends in amounts, if any, determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, (ii) dividends payable in shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock for which adjustment is made under Section 13.3(1) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Parent Guarantor (excluding those referred to in Section 13.3(2)), then in each such case the Conversion Price with respect to such Securities determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price distribution by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number Current Market Price of shares of the Jacor Common Stock outstanding at the close of business or Jacor Preferred Stock on the record date fixed for such determination plus referred to below, and the number denominator of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants would have purchased at shall be such Current Market Price and of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the cash or assets or evidences of indebtedness or securities so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock (PROVIDED that such denominator shall never be less than 1.0); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to purchase securities of the number Parent Guarantor if a Holder of shares Securities would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights upon conversion at any time of such Securities into Jacor Common Stock outstanding at or Jacor Preferred Stock unless such rights are subsequently redeemed by the close Parent Guarantor, in which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of business this Section as a dividend on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants, such reduction to Jacor Preferred Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the opening record date for the determination of business on stockholders entitled to receive such distribution; and in the day following the date fixed for event that such termination.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stockdistribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect at if such record date had not been fixed.
(4) The Company and the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective Parent Guarantor shall be proportionately reducedentitled to make such additional adjustments in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by subsections 13.3(1), 13.2(2), and conversely13.3(3), as shall be necessary in case outstanding shares order that any dividend or distribution of Jacor Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number or Jacor Preferred Stock, any subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Jacor Common StockStock or Jacor Preferred Stock or any issuance of rights or warrants referred to above shall not be taxable to the holders of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock for United States Federal income tax purposes.
(5) In any case in which this Section 13.3 shall require that any adjustment be made effective as of or retroactively immediately following a record date, the Parent Guarantor may elect to defer (but only for five (5) Trading Days following the filing of the statement referred to in Section 13.5) issuing to the Holder of any Securities converted after such record date the shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock and other capital stock of the Parent Guarantor issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock and other capital stock of the Parent Guarantor issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Parent Guarantor shall deliver to such Holder a due ▇▇▇▇ or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder's right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(6) All calculations under this Section 13.3 shall be made to the nearest cent or one-hundredth of a share of security, with one-half cent and 0.005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.3, the Company and Parent Guarantor shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of, and together with, the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price. Any adjustments under this Section 13.3 shall be made successively whenever an event requiring such an adjustment occurs.
(7) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.3, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of stock of the Parent Guarantor other than shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock into which the Securities originally were convertible, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day such other shares so receivable upon which conversion of any such combination becomes effective Security shall be proportionately increasedsubject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock contained in subparagraphs (1) through (6) of this Section 13.3, and the provisions of Sections 13.1, 13.2 and 13.4 through 13.9 with respect to the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock shall apply on like or similar terms to any such reduction other shares and the determination of the Board of Directors as to any such adjustment shall be conclusive.
(8) No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section: (i) if the effect thereof would be to reduce the Conversion Price below the par value (if any) of the Jacor Common Stock or increaseJacor Preferred Stock or (ii) subject to Section 13.3(5) hereof, as with respect to any Security that is converted prior to the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which time such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveadjustment otherwise would be made.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall ------------------------------ be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, and distributions the --------------- Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences --------------- of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b), and excluding any --------------- dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "New Securities")), then, in --------------- -------------- each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such New Securities for distribution to the Securityholders upon the conversion of the Securities so that any such holder converting Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such New Securities which such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Securities into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section ------- 15.5(h) for such distribution of the New Securities)), the Conversion Price ------ shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event -------- ------- the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the New Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of New Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued --------------- trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Securities the holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be ------------- transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable, and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5 ------------ (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 will be ------------ required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 15.5(d). If any such right or warrant, --------------- including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights ------------ or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any --------------- ---------------- --- dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that --------------- also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to --------------- such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution ---------------- --- shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections -------- 15.5(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such ----- --- dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a). ---------------
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 15.6 applies or ------------ as part of a distribution referred to in Section 15.5(d)) in an aggregate --------------- amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the --------------- fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(f) has been made, --------------- exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) on the Record Date with respect to such --------------- distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such Record Date; provided, however, that, if the portion of the cash so -------- ------- distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expires and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) requires the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that, combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender off

(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Shares consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock Shares, rights, warrants or options entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided at the end of this paragraph (b) of this Section 13.4) of the Common Shares on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights rights, warrants or warrantsoptions, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock Shares which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of Common Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares. The Company shall not issue any rights, warrants or options in respect of Common Shares held in the treasury of the Company. For the purpose of any computation under paragraph (b) of this Section 13.4, the current market price per Common Share on any date in question shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than twenty (20) Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the date in question.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) The Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.
(e) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the conversion price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (5) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(f) In the event that the Company distributes rights or warrants (other than those referred to in paragraph (b) above) pro rata to holders of Common Shares, so long as any such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, the Company shall make proper provision so that the Holder of any Note surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Conversion Shares, a number of rights and warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after such Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of Common Shares into which the principal amount of such Note so converted was convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been entitled on such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the rights or warrants.

(a) In case Gabelli Brocade shall (i) pay or a dividend on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) make a dividend or other distribution on any class its Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iv) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the opening Holder of business on any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned had such Security been converted immediately prior to the day following record date of such event or the happening of such event, as appropriate. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by in the case of a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to distribution and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the effective date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury case of Gabelli, and distributions subdivision or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedcombination.)
(b) In case Gabelli Brocade shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period of commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 45 days, 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as hereinafter defineddetermined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period issuance shall be reduced adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the such record date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise conversion of such rights or warrants convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would have purchased purchase at such the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) of Common Stock on such record date, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the close end of business on the date fixed for period during which such determination plus rights or warrants are exercisable not all such rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually purchased upon exercise issued).
(c) In case Brocade shall distribute to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of Brocade (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than Brocade but excluding (1) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (2) dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 4.6), or shall distribute to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 4.6 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to a Rights Plan (as defined below)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors of Brocade, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of Brocade delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share (as defined in subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. In the event that a record date for any dividend or distribution referred to in this subsection (c) occurs, but such dividend or distribution is not then paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of a Security shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security on such record date. If the Board of Directors of Brocade determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.6(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. With respect to rights to purchase preferred shares that may be issued or distributed pursuant to any rights plan that Brocade implements after the date of this Indenture (any rights that may be issued pursuant to any such future rights plan being referred to as a “Rights Plan”), upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, to the extent that such Rights Plan is in effect upon such conversion, each holder of Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), unless such holder is an acquiring person specifically excluded from securing such rights by any Rights Plan. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a Rights Plan in accordance with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 4.6(c). Rights or warrants, other than rights issued pursuant to a Rights Plan, distributed by Brocade to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Brocade’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.6 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.6 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made in accordance with this Section 4.6(c). If any such right or warrant is subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution or deemed distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.6 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
(i) In case Brocade shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a “Triggering Distribution”) to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of Brocade, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of Brocade delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by Brocade or a Subsidiary of Brocade for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the Business Day (the “Determination Date”) immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by Brocade multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of Brocade), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date less the quotient of (y) the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value (determined as aforesaid in this Section 4.6(c)(i)) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months and described in clauses (A) and (B) above and the Triggering Distribution divided by (z) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationon which the Triggering Distribution is paid.
(cii) In case outstanding shares any tender offer made by Brocade or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock shall expire and Brocade shall pay for Purchased Shares (as defined below) an aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of Brocade, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of Brocade delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of Brocade, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of Brocade delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by Brocade or any Subsidiary of Brocade for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock shall (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) as of the last date (the “Expiration Date”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be subdivided into a greater amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the “Expiration Time”) multiplied by the number of shares of Common StockStock outstanding (including Purchased Shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of Brocade) at the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price in effect at then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following after the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective Expiration Date, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in case outstanding shares effect immediately prior to the close of Common Stock business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall each be combined into a smaller the product of the number of shares of Common Stock, Stock outstanding (including Purchased Shares but excluding any shares held in the Conversion Price in effect treasury of Brocade) at the opening Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of business the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 4.6) on the day following Trading Day next succeeding the day upon which such combination becomes effective Expiration Date and the denominator shall be proportionately increasedthe sum of (x) the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such reduction or increasemaximum, being referred to as the case may be, to become effective immediately after “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the opening product of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.number of shares of

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall (1) pay or a dividend in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (2) make a dividend distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (3) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or other distribution on any class (4) combine its outstanding shares of Capital Common Stock into a smaller number of Gabelli payable in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the opening holder of business on any Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the day number of shares of Common Stock which he or she would have owned immediately following such action had such Notes been converted immediately prior thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date fixed in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options to substantially all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date for the determination of stockholders holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend rights, warrants or other distribution options and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on such record date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distributionrecord date, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of offered shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise (or the aggregate conversion price of such rights or warrants the convertible securities so offered) would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustments shall become effective immediately after such record date.
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock shares of any class of stock other than Common Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets (other than cash dividends out of current or retained earnings), or shall distribute to substantially all holders of Common Stock rights, warrants or options to subscribe for securities (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets so distributed or of such subscription rights, warrants or options applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights, warrants or options (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Rights") PRO RATA to holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.4, make proper provision so that each holder of a Note who is required to convert such Note after the record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the close time of business on such conversion in accordance with the date fixed for terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights; and (ii) if such determination plus conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise into which the principal amount of the Note so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (including any distributions of cash out of current or retained earnings of the Company but excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made in cash plus (y) all Excess Payments, in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such distribution (the "Distribution Record Date") and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (e) of this Section or this paragraph (d) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (d) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of such rights or warrantscash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments) so distributed applicable to one share (based on the PRO RATA portion of the aggregate amount of such cash and other consideration (including any Excess Payments), divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date) of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, such reduction to become effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationDistribution Record Date.
(ce) In case outstanding shares a tender offer or other negotiated transaction made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater consummated, if an Excess Payment is made in respect of such tender offer or other negotiated transaction and the amount of such Excess Payment, together with the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all Excess Payments plus (y) the aggregate amount of all distributions to all holders of the Common Stock made in cash (specifically including distributions of cash out of retained earnings), in each case made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such current negotiated transaction consideration or expiration of such current tender offer, as the case may be (the "Purchase Date"), and as to which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) or paragraph (d) of this Section or this paragraph (e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date times the number of shares of Common StockStock outstanding (including any tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) on the Purchase Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect at immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (e) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date less the amount of such Excess Payments and such cash distributions, if any, applicable to one share (based on the PRO RATA portion of the aggregate amount of such Excess Payments and such cash distributions, divided by the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Purchase Date) of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective Purchase Date.
(f) The current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be proportionately reduceddeemed to be the average of the Daily Market Prices for the shorter of (i) 30 consecutive Business Days ending on the last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination or (ii) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights, and converselywarrants or options or such other distribution or such negotiated transaction through such last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination.
(g) In any case in which this Section 11.4 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in case outstanding Section 11.8 below) issuing to the holder of any Note converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock, Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in effect at lieu of the opening shares the issuance of business on which is so deferred, the day following Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the day upon which right to receive such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveshares.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital Stock of Gabelli payable the outstanding Common Shares in Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 10.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b1) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue short-term rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock Shares entitling them, them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for the determination of not more than 45 days, shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Shares outstanding at on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of shares of additional Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights Shares so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that Common Shares are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Common Shares actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock Shares shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common StockShares, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company declares an Excess Dividend, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by the Dividend Adjustment Amount.
(e) For purposes of this Section 10.05 the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 12.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 12.04(h)(ii)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights or warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantswarrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.04(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 12.04(a) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.04(d) called the "Distribution Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Distribution Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Distribution Record Date of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or increasegreater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distribution Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Company's Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.04 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 12.04 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 12.04(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or different amounts of any of the foregoing, or both, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.04 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or warrants described in Section 12.04(b)), pro rata to substantially all holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.04(d), make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Distribution Record Date for such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to such rights or warrants; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to such rights or warrants. For purposes of this Section 12.04(d) and Sections 12.04(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.04(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.04(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Distribution Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 12.04(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 12.04(a). In the event the Company implements a rights plan (a "Rights Plan"), each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Securities pursuant to this Article 12 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as provided by and subject to their terms of the rights agreement related to the Rights Plan (the "Rights Agreement") as in effect at the time of such conversion. If the rights are separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of such Rights Agreement such that the Holders of Securities would thereafter not be entitled to receive any such rights in respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Securities, the Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided in this Section 12.04(d) on the separation date; provided that if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed by the Company, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such separation had not occurred. In lieu of any such adjustment, the Company may amend the Rights Agreement to provide that upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights which would have attached to such shares of Common Stock if the rights had not become separated from the Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of the Rights Agreement.
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any quarterly period does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 12.04(e) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices (determined as set forth in Section 12.04(h)) during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and (z) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 12.04(d)), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Distribution Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such increase to be effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or combination becomes effective.greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Di

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 7.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, and distributions the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 7.05(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 7.05(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 7.05(a) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 7.05(d) called the “Securities”)), then, in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Holders upon the conversion of the Debentures so that any such Holder converting Debentures will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Debentures into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 7.05(h) for such distribution of the Securities)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Debenture on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 7.05(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 7.05 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 7.05 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 7.05(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Second Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 7.05 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or warrants described in Section 7.05(b)), pro rata to holders of Common Stock, and in the case of the rights issued pursuant to the Company’s stockholder rights agreement in existence as of the date hereof, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.05(d), make proper provision (in the case of the Company’s stockholder rights agreement in existence as of the date thereof, to the extent it does not make proper provision) so that each holder of a Debenture who converts such Debenture (or any portion thereof) after the record date for such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the “Conversion Shares”), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the “Distribution Date”), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to such rights or warrants; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Debenture so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to such rights or warrants. For purposes of this Section 7.05(d) and Sections 7.05(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 7.05(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 7.05(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 7.05(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Sections 7.05(a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 7.05(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any fiscal quarter does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7.05(e) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Price (determined as set forth in Section 7.05(h)) during the ten Trading Days (as defined in Section 7.05(h)) immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, and (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the record date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Debenture Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Debenture on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 7.05(e) as a result of a distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such distribution exceeds the amount of the quarterly cash dividend permitted to b

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect thereof, shall be disregardedof scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.)
(b2) In case Gabelli at any time the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price then current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination; provided, however, that if an adjustment to the -------- ------- Conversion Price is made and any or all of such rights, options and warrants are not exercised, then a corresponding reversing adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made, on an equitable basis, to take account of such event. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any (i) rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash out of the consolidated retained earnings of the Company, (iii) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section and (iv) shares issued upon any merger or consolidation to which Section 1211 applies), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Company Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If the Conversion Price is adjusted because of the distribution of rights, options or warrants, then, upon the expiration of any such unexercised right, option or warrant, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the Conversion Price that would have applied had such right, option or warrant never been distributed.
(5) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 1211 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective," within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).
(6) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2) and (4) of this Section 1204, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices Per Share for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 10 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex date" with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(7) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (7)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason -------- ------- of this paragraph (7) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
(8) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, for the remaining term of any series of Securities or any shorter term, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this Section 1204, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted (without duplication) from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital the Common Stock of Gabelli payable exclusively in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced decreased by multiplying dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator numerator shall be the sum of (i) such number of shares and (ii) the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction decrease to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, and distributions the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not occurred.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or shall otherwise issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock Stock, rights, warrants or options, in each case entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, warrants or warrantsoptions, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced decreased by multiplying dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator denominator shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator numerator shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction decrease to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made if Holders of the Notes may participate in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Company's Board of Directors deems to be fair and appropriate. To the extent that rights are not so issued or shares of Common Stock are not so delivered after the expiration of such rights, warrants or options, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, had not been fixed. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case the Company shall declare a cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Common Stock Prices for the three consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution (the "Pre-Dividend Sale Price"), minus the full amount of such cash dividend or distribution, to the extent payable in cash, applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Pre-Dividend Sale Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution; provided, that no adjustment to the Conversion Price or the ability of a Holder of a Note to convert will be made pursuant to this Section 10.05(c) if the Company provides that Holders of Notes will participate in such cash dividend or distribution on an as-converted basis without conversion; provided further, that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares), the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Note on the record date for such dividend or distribution at the Conversion Rate and for the Conversion Value in effect on such record date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d), in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class or series of Capital Stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, warrants or options referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.05 and any cash dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section 10.05), the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price decrease contemplated by this paragraph (d) by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution (the "Reference Date") less the Fair Market Value, on the Reference Date, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and/or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the numerator shall be such Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such decrease to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Reference Date; provided that if the Fair Market Value of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and/or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock shall be greater than the Market Price per share of Common Stock, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares), the amount of evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and/or assets so distributed that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Note on the record date for such dividend or distribution at the Conversion Rate and for the Conversion Value in effect on such record date; and provided, further, that no adjustment shall be made if all Holders of Notes are entitled to participate in such transactions. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not occurred. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock or rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (i) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock, cash and/or assets other than such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any Conversion Price decrease required by this paragraph (d)) immediately followed by (ii) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, warrants or options (making any further Conversion Price decrease required by paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.05), except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section 10.05.
(e) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day Business Day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduceddecreased and, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction increase or increasedecrease, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day Business Day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(f) In case the Company pays to holders of Common Stock in respect of a tender or exchange offer, other than an odd-lot offer, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock to the extent that the offer involves aggregate consideration that, together with (1) any cash and the Fair Market Value of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for shares of Common Stock consummated within the preceding 12 months not triggering a Conversion Price adjustment and (2) all-cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of the Company's Common Stock made within the preceding 12 months not triggering a Conversion Price adjustment, exceeds an amount equal to 12.5% of the market capitalization of Common Stock on the expiration date of the tender offer, the Conversion Price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price decrease contemplated by this Section 10.05(f) by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the last time tenders of exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the numerator shall be the sum of (x) the Fair Market Value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such decrease to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the Expiration Time. In any case in which this Section 10.05 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date established for purposes of this Section 10.05, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 10.10) issuing to the holder of any Note converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall be that price set forth in paragraph 8 of the form of Note attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli shall the Company shall
(1) pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class in shares of Capital Common Stock to holders of Gabelli payable in Common Stock,
(2) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
(3) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or
(4) reclassify its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of subdivision or combination.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) below), at the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend rights, warrants or other distribution options, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced adjusted so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distributionrecord date, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering subscription or purchase price of for the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered by the rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities offered by such rights rights, warrants or warrants options) would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which the convertible securities so offered by such rights, warrants or options are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the close end of business on the date fixed for period during which such determination plus rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually purchased upon exercise issued) for the total number of such rights shares of Common Stock offered (or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationconvertible securities offered).
(c) In case outstanding the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash, other securities or other assets, or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding (i) those rights, warrants or options referred to in subsection (b) above; (ii) those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in subsection (a) above; and (iii) dividends and distributions paid in cash in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (A) all other such cash distributions made within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made under this Section 4.06 and (B) the fair market value of consideration payable in respect of any repurchases (including by way of tender offers) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any employee benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (a "Company Benefit Plan"), of Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months, in each case in respect of which no adjustment has been made under this Section 4.06, does not exceed 10% of Market Capitalization as of the record date for such distribution), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be subdivided into adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution or purchase by a greater fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the capital stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants or options, in each case as applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights, warrants or options (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Rights") PRO RATA to holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06, make proper provision so that each Holder of a Note who converts such Note (or any portion thereof) after the record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Conversion Shares, a number of Rights to be determined as follows: (x) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights; and (y) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Note so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to, the Rights. If the Company implements a new stockholder rights plan, the Company agrees that such rights plan will provide that upon conversion of the Notes, the Holders holding Common Stock issued upon conversion shall receive the rights issued under such plan, whether or not such rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of such conversion. If the rights under such new plan have become separated from the Common Stock prior to the conversion of a Note, the Holders holding Common Stock issued upon conversion shall receive the Rights that they would have received if the Note had been converted immediately prior to the separation of the Rights.
(d) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan shall repurchase (including by way of tender offer) shares of Common Stock, and the fair market value of the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration paid for such Common Stock, (ii) the aggregate fair market value of cash dividends and distributions of the type described in clause (iii) of the preceding paragraph (c) paid within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of purchase of such shares of Common Stock in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06 previously has been made, and (iii) the aggregate fair market value of any amounts previously paid for the repurchase of Common Stock of a type described in this paragraph (d) within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of purchase of such shares of Common Stock in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.6 previously has been made, exceeds 10% of Market Capitalization on the date of, and after giving effect to, such repurchase, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at immediately prior to the opening date of business such distribution or purchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common Stock on the day following date of such repurchase, less the day upon which quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Market Premium involved in such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller repurchase (as defined hereinafter) by the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such repurchase and the number of shares of Common Stock the subject of such repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common Stock on the date of such repurchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the date of such repurchase. For purposes of this subsection (d), the "Aggregate Market Premium" is the excess, if any, of the aggregate repurchase price paid for all such Common Stock over the aggregate current market value per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of all such repurchased stock, determined with respect to each share involved in each such repurchase as of the date of repurchase with respect to such share.
(e) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c) and (d) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices for 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing 30 Trading Days before the record date with respect to any distribution, issuance or other event requiring such computation. The Closing Price for each day shall be (i) the last sale price, or the closing bid price if no sale occurred, of such class of stock on the principal securities exchange on which such class of stock is listed, if the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, (ii) the last reported sale price of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices then in common use, if so quoted, or (iii) if not quoted as described in clause (i), the mean between the high bid and low asked quotations for Common Stock as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated if at least two securities dealers have inserted both bid and asked quotations for such class of stock on at least 5 of the 10 preceding days. If the Common Stock is quoted on a national securities or central market system, in lieu of a market or quotation system described above, the Closing Price shall be determined in the manner set forth in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence if bid and asked quotations are reported but actual transactions are not, and in the manner set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence if actual transactions are reported. If none of the conditions set forth above is met, the Closing Price of Common Stock on any day or the average of such last reported sale prices for any period shall be the fair market value of such class of stock as determined by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. selected by the Company. As used herein the term "Trading Days" with respect to Common Stock means (i) if the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, days on which such national securities exchange is open for business or (ii) if the Common Stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices, days on which trades may be made on such system.
(f) Rights, warrants or options distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, warrants or options, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"):
(1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock,
(2) are not exercisable, and
(3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of this Section 4.06 until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights, warrants or options, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.06, (1) in the case of any such rights, warrants or options which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, readjusted upon such reduction final redemption or increaserepurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to become effective the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights, warrants or options (assuming such holder had retained such rights, warrants or options), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of any such rights, warrants or options all of which shall have expired without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred.
(g) In any case in which this Section 4.06 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date established for purposes of Section 4.06, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 4.10) issuing to the holder of any Note converted after such record date the opening shares of business Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the day following basis of the day upon Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such subdivision or combination becomes effectiveshares.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 12.4(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 12.4(8)(b)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of shareholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(2), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 12.4(1) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.4(4) called the "Distribution Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Distribution Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Distribution Record Date of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or increasegreater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distribution Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Company's Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.4 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 12.4(4). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or different amounts of any of the foregoing, or both, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to become the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or warrants described in Section 12.4(2)), pro rata to substantially all holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(4), make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Distribution Record Date for such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to such rights or warrants; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to such rights or warrants. For purposes of this Section 12.4(4) and Sections 12.4(1) and (2), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(4) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.4(4) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.4(1) and (2) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Distribution Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 12.4(1) and (2) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 12.4(1).
(5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any quarterly period does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 12.4(5) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices (determined as set forth in Section 12.4(8)) during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and (z) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4(4)), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Distribution Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the day Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 12.4(5) as a result of a distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such subdivision distribution exceeds the amount of the quarterly cash dividend permitted to be excluded pursuant hereto. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 12.4(5) above as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the full amount of the distribution.
(6) In case a tender or combination becomes effective.exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tende

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, warrants or warrants other securities convertible into Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (h) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, warrants or warrantsconvertible securities, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of such rights convertible securities so offered for subscription or warrants purchase) would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the additional number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase are convertible), such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. If at the end of the period during which such warrants or rights are exercisable or such securities are convertible, not all warrants or rights shall have been exercised or not all securities shall have been converted, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made on their issuance been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of such warrants, rights or securities as were actually exercised with respect to, or converted into, Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing (i) if the rights, warrants or other securities described in this paragraph are exercisable only upon the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"), then the Conversion Price will not be adjusted until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event and (ii) the distribution to holders of Common Stock of separate certificates representing rights to purchase Common Stock or Preferred Stock will not require an adjustment in the Conversion Price until such rights become exercisable upon the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company will not issue any rights, warrants or convertible securities in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness and/or (ii) cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, any dividend paid out of current or retained earnings payable solely in cash that may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), then in such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) of the Common Stock on such record date less the then fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the cash or other assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed (and for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price has not previously been made pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.6) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date.
(e) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities, including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 10.9 applies), shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (b) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section).
(f) In case the Company shall issue to an Affiliate shares of its Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date the Company fixes the offering price of such additional shares, the Conversion Price shall be reduced immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered would purchase at the current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of such additional shares. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. For the purpose of this paragraph (f), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. This paragraph (f) shall not apply to Common Stock issued to any Affiliate under bona-fide benefits plans adopted by the Board of Directors for the benefit of the Company's directors, employees and advisers.
(g) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Company's Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an "Offer") shall expire and such Offer shall involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i) the fair market value of consideration payable in respect of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, concluded within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect for which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (g) has been made and (ii) the aggregate amount of dividends paid out of current or retained earnings referred to in clause (d) above to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time minus (ii) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall be the product of (i) such current market price per share of the Expiration Time times (ii) such number of outstanding shares on the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. For purposes of this paragraph (g), the fair market value of any consideration with respect to an Offer shall be determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee.
(h) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (b), (d), (f) and (g) of this Section, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any day shall be deemed to be the average of the Daily Market Prices for the 30 consecutive Business Days ending on the last full trading day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such Daily Market Prices prior to the day in question.
(i) The Company from time to time may to the extent permitted by law reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 Business Days, if the Board of Directors has made a determination that such a decrease would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive and if the reduction is irrevocable during the period. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice of the reduction. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the reduced conversion price takes

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Guarantor shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type 88 97 described in this Section 12.4(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Guarantor shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of shareholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Guarantor for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Guarantor Board.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(a) In case Gabelli the event the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day Business Day following the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would have been in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the event the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the Record Date fixed for the determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering subscription, purchase or exercise price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of called for by all such issued rights or warrants would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective at the opening of business on the Business Day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination plus rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect if the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate subscription, purchase or exercise price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such reduction consideration, if other than cash, to become effective immediately after be determined by the opening Board of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationDirectors in its sole discretion.
(c) In case the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day Business Day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day Business Day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.
(d) In the event the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b) or (2) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (such shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or other assets hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) referred to as the "Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the Conversion Price shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)(2)) on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the day event the then fair market value (as so determined by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect if such subdivision dividend or combination becomes effectivedistribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 15.5(h)(2) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Noteholders.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In Subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section, in case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrantswarrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantsrepurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and other assets to be distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when- issued trading market for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section, to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (x) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights, options or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any conversion price reduction required by this paragraph (d)) immediately followed by (y) in the case of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants, dividend or distribution thereof (making any further conversion price reduction required by (a) and (b) of this Section, except any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of shares of Common Stock as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof, whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any conditions (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph (a) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this Section).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.11 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made, exceeds 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, 53 61 and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the conversion price shall be reduced so that same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 12.5% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date for determination.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration paid or payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made, exceeds 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) as of the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed to be accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities, including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 13.11 applies), shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
(h) For the purpose of any computation under this paragraph and paragraphs (b), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section, the current market price per share of Common Stock (the "Current Market Price") on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices (as hereinafter defined) for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than the date in question; provided, however, that (i) if the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the conversion price pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) above occurs on or after the 20th Trading Day prior to the date in question and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the conversion price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (ii) if the "ex" date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the conversion price pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) above occurs on or
(i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Prices were obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the last time that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender offer (as it shall have been amended).
(i) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (i) would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph (i) shall be made to the nearest percent.
(j) No upward adjustment in the conversion price will be made other than in the event of a reverse stock split.
(k) The Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section, as it considers to be advisab

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationdetermination of the holders entitled to such dividends and distributions. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this Section 11.05(a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for for, purchase or purchase acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription, purchase or warrants acquisition would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription, purchase or warrantsacquisition, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect thereof, shall be disregardedof scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.)
(b2) In case Gabelli at any time the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price then current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination; provided, -------- however, that if an adjustment to the Conversion Price is made and any or all of ------- such rights, options and warrants are not exercised, then a corresponding reversing adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made, on an equitable basis, to take account of such event. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any (i) rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash out of the consolidated retained earnings of the Company, (iii) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section and (iv) shares issued upon any merger or consolidation to which Section 1211 applies), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (6) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Company Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If the Conversion Price is adjusted because of the distribution of rights, options or warrants, then, upon the expiration of any such unexercised right, option or warrant, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal the Conversion Price that would have applied had such right, option or warrant never been distributed.
(5) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 1211 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective," within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).
(6) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2) and (4) of this Section 1204, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices Per Share for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 10 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex date" with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(7) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (7)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason -------- ------- of this paragraph (7) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all Holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, and distributions the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders Holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its Indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) called the "Securities")), then, in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Holders upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such Holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Notes into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 15.5(h) for such distribution of the Securities)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date (as defined below) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 15.5(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the Holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 15.5(d) and Sections 15.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of Indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 15.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 15.5(a) and (b), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 15.5(a).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 15.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 15.5(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such Record Date provided, however, that, if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expires and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) requires the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that, combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.5(f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all Holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 15.5(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same s

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (f) of this Section 13.4) of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering subscription price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. In the event that all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such rights or warrants have not been issued when such rights or warrants expire, then the conversion price shall promptly be readjusted to the conversion price which would then be in effect had the adjustment upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such rights or warrants. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stockshares, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stockshares, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness or assets of the Company (including securities, but excluding any (i) rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 13.4 and (ii) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 13.4), the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the day fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 13.4) of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed allocable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) In case the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or a stock dividend described in paragraph (a) or paragraph (c) of this Section 13.4, or a consolidation, merger or sale of assets described in Section 13.10 hereof), then and in each such event the Holders of Debentures shall have the right thereafter to convert such Debentures into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Debentures might have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change.
(f) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (b) and (d) of this Section 13.4, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices for the 15 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 30 and not less than 20 Trading Days before the date in question.
(g) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments no previously made by reason of this paragraph (g)) would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph (g) shall be made to the nearest cent.
(h) The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 13.4, as the Company's Board of Directors considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such from income tax purposes or for any other reasons. The Company's Board of Directors shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in the adjustments made pursuant to this Section 13.4 and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.
(i) No adjustment in the conversion price need be made for rights to purchase or the sale of the Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan providing for reinvestment of dividends or interest; provided, however, that any discount under such plan may not exceed 5% of the current market price of the Common Stock and such plan is registered under the Act.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Issuer shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 12.4(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Issuer shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of shareholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Issuer for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(4) In case the Issuer shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Issuer (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(2), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 12.4(1) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.4(4) called the "Distribution Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Distribution Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board) on the Distribution Record Date of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Distribution Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distribution Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Issuer's Board determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Rights or warrants distributed by the Issuer to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Issuer's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.4 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 12.4(4). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Issuer shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or warrants described in Section 12.4(2)), pro rata to holders of Common Stock, the Issuer may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(4), make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Distribution Record Date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of such rights or warrants shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution of the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to such rights or warrants; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to such rights or warrants. For purposes of this Section 12.4(4) and Sections 12.4(1) and (2), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(4) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.4(4) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.4(1) and (2) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Distribution Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 12.4(1) and (2) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 12.4(1).
(5) In case the Issuer shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any semi-annual cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any semi-annual period does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding semi- annual cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding semi-annual dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 12.4(5) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 7.5% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices (determined as set forth in Section 12.4(8)) during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary and (z) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price Adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4(4)), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Distribution Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Distribution Record Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 12.4(5) as a result of a distribution that is a semi-annual dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such distribution exceeds the amount of the semi-annual cash dividend permitted to be excluded pursuant hereto. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 12.4(5) above as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the full amount of the distribution.
(6) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to shareholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board, whose determination shall

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price with respect to any Security which is convertible into Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli If the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock equity capital of Gabelli the Company which is payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares referred to in the preceding clause and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share of Common Stock (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph 11.04(d)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination.
(c) In case If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such the subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined consolidated into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination consolidation becomes effective.
(d) For the purpose of any computation under Section 11.03 and 11.04(b), the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the five consecutive trading days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 trading days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance requiring such computation. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principal (as determined by the Company's Board of Directors) U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any U.S. securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date," when used with respect to any issuance means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(e) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Sections 11.04(a) through 11.04(c), as it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for the United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph 11.04(e) and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.
(f) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli If the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date (as defined in Section 12.04(g)) fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationRecord Date. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 12.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 12.04(g)) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of after such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants, such reduction to purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants of a type referred to in Section 12.04(b) and dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 12.10 applies) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.04(d) called the "Securities"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12.04(g)) on such date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on such date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date; provided, however, that, in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Debenture (or any portion thereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted such Debenture (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 12.04(g) to the extent possible. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.04(d) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.04(d) shall be made. If any such rights or warrants, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of each of which such rights or warrants shall become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be such date of issuance and record date with respect to new rights or warrants (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.04 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.04(d) to the contrary, rights, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, other securities, cash or other assets (including, without limitation, any rights distributed pursuant to any stockholder rights plan) shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.04(d) if the Company makes proper provision so that each holder of Debentures who converts a Debenture (or any portion thereof) after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount and kind of such distributions that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had, immediately prior to such determination date, converted such Debenture into Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 12.04(d) and Sections 12.04(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.04(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 12.04(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 12.04(b) applies (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.04(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except that (a) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such determination" and "Record Date" within the meaning of Section 12.04(a) and as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and "such Record Date" within the meaning of Section 12.04(b), and (b) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 12.04(a).
(e) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 12.10 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 12.04(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.04(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 12.04(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12.04(g)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such Record Date; provided, however, that, if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Debenture (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder converted such Debenture (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Any cash distribution to all holders of Common Stock as to which the Company makes the election permitted by Section 12.04(m) and as to which the Company has complied with the requirements of such Section shall be treated as not having been made for all purposes of this Section 12.04(e).
(f) If a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expires and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) requires the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that, combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli Alcatel shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli Alcatel payable in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (If, after any such date fixed for determination, any dividend or distribution is not in fact paid, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the determination is made not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (1), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances Alcatel but shall include shares issuable in respect thereof, shall be disregardedof scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of such shares. Alcatel will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares held in the treasury of Alcatel.)
(b2) In case Gabelli Alcatel shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a such that the price per share Alcatel ADS would be less than the Current Market Price current market price per Alcatel ADS (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrantswarrants (other than any rights, options or warrants that by their terms will also be issued to any Holder upon conversion of a Security into Alcatel ADSs without any action required by the Company or any other Person), the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any such rights, options or warrants are not in fact issued, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the determination is made not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Alcatel but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. Alcatel will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Alcatel.
(c3) In case outstanding the ratio of Alcatel ADSs to shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number modified such that each Alcatel ADS no longer represents one-fifth of shares one ordinary share of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision modification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increasedproportionally adjusted, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such modification becomes effective.
(4) In case Alcatel shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, or other property (including securities, but excluding (i) any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, (iii) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section and (iv) any merger or consolidation to which Section 12.11 applies), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per Alcatel ADS (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the authorized officer of Alcatel, whose determination shall be conclusive and filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one Alcatel ADS and the denominator shall be such current market price per Alcatel ADS, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any such distribution is not in fact made, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the determination is made not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed.
(5) In case Alcatel shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 12.11 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (I) the aggregate amount of any other cash distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) has been made and (II) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the authorized officer of Alcatel, whose determination shall be conclusive) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by Alcatel or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Alcatel ADSs concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) of this Section 12.4 has been made (the "combined cash and tender amount") exceeds 12.5% of the product of the current market price per Alcatel ADS (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of Alcatel ADSs which would have to be issued to reflect all shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the "aggregate current market price"), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market price per Alcatel ADS (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined cash and tender amount over such aggregate current market price divided by (y) the number of Alcatel ADSs which would have to be issued to reflect all shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per Alcatel ADS (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) on such date for determination.
(6) In case a tender offer made by Alcatel or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the authorized officer of Alcatel, whose determination shall be conclusive) that combined together with (I) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the authorized officer of Alcatel, whose determination shall be conclusive), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer by Alcatel or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (6) has been made and (II) the aggregate amount of any cash distributions to all holders of Alcatel's Common Stock within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section has been made (the "combined tender and cash amount") exceeds 12.5% of the product of the current market price per Alcatel ADS (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of Alcatel ADSs which would have to be issued to reflect all shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price 100 immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market price per Alcatel ADS (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) on the date of the Expiration Time multiplied by (II) the number of Alcatel ADSs which would have to be issued to reflect all shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the combined tender and cash amount, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the current market price per Alcatel ADS (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) as of the Expiration Time multiplied by (B) the number of Alcatel ADSs which would have to be issued to reflect all shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of Alcatel ADSs which would have to be issued to represent all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
(7) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities other than Common Stock (other than a reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 12.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section 12.4).
(8) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2), (4), (5) or (6) of this Section 12.4, the current market price per Alcatel ADS on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices Per Alcatel ADS for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 10 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Alcatel ADSs trade in a regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(9) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (9)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such rate; 101 provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (9) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of an Alcatel ADS or share, as the case may be.
(10) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, for the remaining term of the Securities or any shorter term, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section 12.4, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of Alcatel ADSs resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph (10) and its actions in so doing shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall be that price set forth in paragraph 8 of the form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A and shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall (i) pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class in shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock to all holders of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) reclassify its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Security been converted immediately (whether or not it was then convertible) prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b) In case the Company shall issue to all holders of its Common Stock, rights, warrants or options entitling such holders (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) below) at the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend rights, warrants or other distribution options, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced adjusted so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on such record date, plus the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and which the aggregate subscription or purchase price for the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in offered by the treasury rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of Gabellithe convertible securities offered by such rights, warrants or options) would purchase at such current market price, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction denominator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which the convertible securities so offered by such rights, warrants or options are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the close end of business on the date fixed for period during which such determination plus rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate issuable upon conversion of the offering price of convertible securities actually issued) for the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered (or the convertible securities offered).
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, other securities or other assets, or shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock, rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding (i) rights, options and warrants referred to in Section 10.06(b) above; (ii) those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in Section 10.06(a) above; and (iii) dividends and distributions paid in cash), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such rights distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in Section 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the Capital Stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price or options, in each case as applicable, to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in Section 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on such record date; provided that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security immediately prior to the record date for such distribution. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall repurchase (including by way of tender offer) shares of Common Stock, and the fair market value of the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration paid for such Common Stock and (ii) the aggregate fair market value of any amounts previously paid for the repurchase of Common Stock of a type described in this paragraph (d) within the 12 months preceding the date of purchase of such shares of Common Stock in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06 previously has been made, exceeds 5% of Common Stock Market Capitalization on the date of, and after giving effect to, such repurchase, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such purchase by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in Section 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on the date of such repurchase, less the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Market Premium involved in such repurchase (as defined hereinafter) by the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for before such determination plus repurchase and the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise the subject of such rights or warrantsrepurchase, and the denominator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in Section 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on the date of such reduction to repurchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening date of business on such repurchase. For purposes of this subsection (d), the day following "Aggregate Market Premium" is the excess, if any, of the aggregate repurchase price paid for all such Common Stock over the aggregate current market value per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of all such repurchased stock, determined with respect to each share involved in each such repurchase as of the date fixed for of repurchase with respect to such terminationshare.
(ce) In case outstanding someone other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number in which, as of shares the closing date of Common Stockthe offer, the Company's Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided in effect at subsection (d) above. The adjustment referred to in this clause will only be made if:
(i) the opening tender offer or exchange offer is for an amount that increases the offeror's ownership of business on common stock to more than 50% of the day following aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, Company's issued and conversely, outstanding Voting Stock; and

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 12.4(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 12.4(8)(b)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of shareholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(2), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 12.4(1) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.4(4) called the "Distribution Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Distribution Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Distribution Record Date of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or increasegreater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distribution Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Company's Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.4 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 12.4(4). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or different amounts of any of the foregoing, or both, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to become the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or warrants described in Section 12.4(2)), pro rata to holders of Common Stock, and in the case of the rights issued pursuant to the Company's rights agreement in existence as of the date hereof, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(4), make proper provision (in the case of the Company's rights agreement in existence as of the date hereof, to the extent it does not make proper provision) so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Distribution Record Date for such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to such rights or warrants; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to such rights or warrants. For purposes of this Section 12.4(4) and Sections 12.4(1) and (2), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(4) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.4(4) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.4(1) and (2) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Distribution Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 12.4(1) and (2) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 12.4(1).
(5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any quarterly period does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 12.4(5) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices (determined as set forth in Section 12.4(8)) during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and (z) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4(4)), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Distribution Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the day Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 12.4(5) as a result of a distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which such subdivision distribution exceeds the amount of the quarterly cash dividend permitted to be excluded pursuant hereto. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 12.4(5) above as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the full amount of the distribution.

(For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of GabelliGAMCO, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, thereof shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli GAMCO shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 60 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to paragraph (g) below, in case GAMCO shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock of any class or series, other securities, cash or assets (other than Stapled Securities (as hereinafter defined), Common Stock, rights or warrants referred to in clause (b) of this Section 6, a dividend or distribution payable exclusively in cash or a Spin Off (as defined below)), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of GAMCO (the “Board of Directors”), whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) (as to any securities or other property, the "Fair Market Value") of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets distributed per share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such payment. Subject to paragraph (g) below, in case GAMCO shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock shares of any capital stock of, or other equity interest in, any Subsidiary or other business unit of GAMCO and, immediately after such distribution, such capital stock or other equity interest is registered under the 1934 Act and listed and publicly traded on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the 1934 Act (each, a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the tenth day of such trading immediately following and including the effective date of the Spin Off (the “Tenth Trading Day”) shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock on the first ten days of such public trading immediately following and including such effective date (the “Ten Trading Days”) less (ii) the average of the Closing Prices of the amount of such capital stock or other equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock on such exchange during the Ten Trading Days (the “Average Spin Off Price”) and the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices calculated pursuant to the preceding clause (i), such reduction to become effective immediately after the close of business on the Tenth Trading Day.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall be that price set forth in paragraph 8 of the form of Note attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli shall the Company shall
(1) pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class in shares of Capital Common Stock to holders of Gabelli payable in Common Stock,
(2) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
(3) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or
(4) reclassify its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of subdivision or combination.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, entitling them (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) below), at the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend rights, warrants or other distribution options, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced adjusted so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distributionrecord date, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering subscription or purchase price of for the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered by the rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities offered by such rights rights, warrants or warrants options) would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which the convertible securities so offered by such rights, warrants or options are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the close end of business on the date fixed for period during which such determination plus rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually purchased upon exercise issued) for the total number of such rights shares of Common Stock offered (or warrants, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationconvertible securities offered).
(c) In case outstanding the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash, other securities or other assets, or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding (i) those rights, warrants and options referred to in subsection (b) above; (ii) those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in subsection (a) above; and (iii) dividends and distributions paid in cash in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (A) all other such cash distributions made within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made under this Section 4.06 and (B) the fair market value of consideration payable in respect of any repurchases (including by way of tender offers) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any employee benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (a "Company Benefit Plan"), of Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months, in each case in respect of which no adjustment has been made under this Section 4.06, does not exceed 10% of Market Capitalization as of the record date for such distribution), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be subdivided into adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution or purchase by a greater fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the capital stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants or options, in each case as applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be the current market price per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights, warrants or options (other than those referred to in subsection (b) above) ("Rights") PRO RATA to holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06, make proper provision so that each Holder of a Note who converts such Note (or any portion thereof) after the record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Conversion Shares, a number of Rights to be determined as follows: (x) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of Common StockStock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to the Rights; and (y) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the Conversion Price in effect at same number of Rights to which a holder of the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Note so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to, the Rights. If the Company implements a new stockholder rights plan, the Company agrees that such rights plan will provide that upon conversion of the Notes, the Holders holding Common Stock issued upon conversion shall receive the rights issued under such plan, whether or not such rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of such conversion. If the rights under such new plan have become separated from the Common Stock prior to the conversion of a Note, the Holders holding Common Stock issued upon conversion shall receive the Rights that they would have received if the Note had been converted immediately prior to the separation of the Rights.
(d) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan shall repurchase (including by way of tender offer) shares of Common Stock, and the Conversion Price fair market value of the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration paid for such Common Stock, (ii) the aggregate fair market value of cash dividends and distributions of the type described in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.clause

(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to Holders of the Series A Convertible Debentures upon conversion) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock or other assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 6.4, any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 6.4, any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.4 and any merger or consolidation to which Section 6.11 applies), the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.1 of the Indenture applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 6.4) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 6.4 has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the conversion price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 15% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date for determination.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 6.4 has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 6.4) on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stock- holders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 6.4) as of the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 6.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section 6.4), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section 6.4).
(h) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (b), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 6.4, the current market price per share of Common Stock (the "Current Market Price") on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the 5 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. The "Closing Price" for each Trading Day shall be the reported last sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on The Nasdaq National Market, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or The Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, shall mean the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows:
(a1) In case Gabelli the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 12.4(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b2) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the date fixed for determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined in Section 12.4(7)(b)) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of shareholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering exercise price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the 87 97 number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate exercise price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reducedreduced so that the Holder of Securities thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have been entitled to receive immediately following such subdivision had such Securities been converted immediately prior thereto, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(2), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 12.4(1) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.4(4) called the "Distribution Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Distribution Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Distribution Record Date of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of outstanding Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of outstanding Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distribution Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or increasegreater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distribution Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Company's Board of Directors determines the fair market value of 88 98 any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event that the Company implements a stockholder rights plan, such rights plan shall provide that upon conversion of the Securities the Holders will receive, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights issued under such rights plan (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of this Section 12.4. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.4 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 12.4(4). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to become the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of the Common Stock (other than rights or 89 99 warrants described in Section 12.4(2)), pro rata to holders of Common Stock, the Company may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(4), make proper provision so that each holder of a Security who converts such Security (or any portion thereof) after the Distribution Record Date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of such rights or warrants shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of such rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants (the "Distribution Date"), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to such rights or warrants; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Security so converted was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of, and applicable to such rights or warrants. For purposes of this Section 12.4(4) and Sections 12.4(1) and (2), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(4) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 12.4(4) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 12.4(1) and (2) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Distribution Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 12.4(1) and (2) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 12.4(1).
(5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (w) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any quarterly period does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 12.4(5) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock), and (B) 7.00% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices (determined as set forth in Section 12.4(7)(a)) during the ten Trading Days immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, (x) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, (y) any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4(4) and (z) any cash distribution 90 100 upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 12.11 hereof applies), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Distribution Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of outstanding Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, such reduction to be effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the day Distribution Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of outstanding Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon which conversion the amount of cash such subdivision Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on the Distribution Record Date.

(a) In case Gabelli the event the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a dividend or other distribution on any class in shares of Capital Common Stock to all holders of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day Business Day immediately following the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would have been in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli the event the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) days after the Record Date fixed for the determination of not more than 45 days, stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day Business Day immediately following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price Record Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering subscription, purchase or exercise price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of called for by all such issued rights or warrants would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date Record Date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective at the opening of business on the Business Day immediately following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination plus rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased delivered upon exercise the issuance of such rights or warrants. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, such reduction the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to become effective immediately after be the opening of business on Conversion Price which would have been in effect if the day following the date Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate subscription, purchase or exercise price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
(c) In case the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day Business Day immediately following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day Business Day immediately following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased.
(d) In the event the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.5(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.5(b) or (2) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (such shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or other assets hereinafter in this Section 15.5(d) referred to as the "Securities")), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the Conversion Price shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 15.5(h)(2)) on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) on such Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after at the opening of business on the day Business Day immediately following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the day event the then fair market value (as so determined by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would have been in effect if such subdivision dividend or combination becomes effectivedistribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 15.5(d) by reference to the trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 15.5(h)(2) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Noteholders.

(a) In case Gabelli shall the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class in shares of Capital Common Stock to all holders of Gabelli payable in its outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination determination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such . Such reduction to become becomes effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For If any dividend or distribution of the purposes of determining adjustments type described in this Section 13.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held which would then be in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them, them (for a period of not more than 45 days, 60 days after such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) less than the Current Market Sale Price (as hereinafter defined) of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date fixed for of announcement of such issuance, the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price announcement by a fraction fraction, (i) the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination of announcement, plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Sale Price of Common Stock actually purchased upon stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance determined by multiplying such total number of shares so offered by the exercise price of such rights or warrants would have purchased at and dividing the product so obtained by such Current Market Price Sale Price), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination of announcement plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights offered for subscription or warrantspurchase or into which convertible, such reduction to exchangeable or exercisable, securities so offered are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date of announcement of such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Sale Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(i) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 13.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 13.04(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in cash or (y) referred to in Section 13.04(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 13.04(d)) called the “Distributed Securities”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock. Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of securities pursuant to this Article 13 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 13.04(b) or this Section 13.04(d).
(ii) For the purposes of this Section 13.04(d), Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.04(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.04(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 13.04(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 13.04(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
(iii) For purposes of this Section 13.04(d) and Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(d) is applicable that also includes (x) shares of Common Stock, (y) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to which Section 13.04(b) applies (or any combination thereof), or (z) a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.04(c) applies or shall be deemed instead to be:
(A) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination to which Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 13.04(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by,
(B) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Section 13.04(a), 13.04(b), and 13.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:
(1) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution,” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a), (y) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants,” within the meaning of Section 13.04(b) and (z) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 13.04(c); and
(2) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.
(e) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its shares of Common Stock, cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.05 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 13.04(d)), in an aggregate amount that, combined together with:
(i) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of shares of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(e) has been made; and
(ii) the aggregate amount of any cash, plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) of other consideration paid in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 13.04(f) has been made; exceeds 10% of the product of the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date with respect to such distribution, times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (such excess over 10%, the “Excess Amount”), then, and in each case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business of such Record Date by a fraction:
(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date, less an amount equal to the quotient of (y) the Excess Amount and (z) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that combined together with:

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution in Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable in Common Stockthe Company, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this paragraph (a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to Holders of the Series A Convertible Debentures upon conversion) entitling them, them (for a period of not more than expiring within 45 days, days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction re- duction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. If at the end of the period during which such rights or warrants are exercisable not all such rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the conversion price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock or other assets (including securities, but excluding any cash, rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 5.4, any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 5.4, any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.4 and any merger or consolidation to which Section 5.11 applies), the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.11 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 5.4) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made excluding cash distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 5.4, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 5.4 has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the conversion price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 15% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date for determination.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclu- sive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 5.4 has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 5.4) on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 5.4) as of the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 5.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassifi- cation shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section 5.4), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this Section 5.4).
(h) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (b), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 5.4, the current market price per share of Common Stock (the "Current Market Price") on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the 5 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. The "Closing Price" for each Trading Day shall be the reported last sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on The Nasdaq National Market, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or The Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, shall mean the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. (a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this Section 11.4(a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ upon conversion) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as hereinafter definedprovided in Section 11.4(h) hereof) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrantswarrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of consideration received by the offering price of Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrants purchase would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription or warrantspurchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination. For purposes of calculating the Conversion Price in this Section 11.4(b), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date fixed for such determination of rights, options or warrants shall be calculated as if all shares had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock. Also, for the purposes of this Section 11.4(b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 11.4(b) hereof, any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 11.4), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 11.4(h)) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by an independent majority of the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a board resolution) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. In any case in which this Section 11.4(d) is applicable, Section 11.4(b) hereof shall not be applicable.
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 11.10 hereof applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 11.4) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (i) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (e) has been made and (ii) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by an independent majority of the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section 11.4 has been made, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the product of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 11.4) on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such ten percent (10%) and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section 11.4) on such date for determination.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price as stated in paragraph 6 of the Securities (the "Conversion Price") shall be adjusted from time to time by IAC and the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli IAC shall (i) pay or a dividend on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) make a dividend or other distribution on any class its Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iv) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the opening Holder of business on the day following the date fixed any Security thereafter surrendered for the determination of stockholders conversion shall be entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the that number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at which it would have owned had such Security been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum happening of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury case of Gabelli, a dividend or distribution and distributions shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of subdivision or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedcombination.)
(b) In case Gabelli IAC shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, them (for a period of commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 45 days, 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) per share of Common Stock on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period immediately prior thereto shall be reduced adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the such record date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased so offered (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise conversion of such rights or warrants convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) would have purchased purchase at such the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the close end of business on the date fixed for period during which such determination plus rights or warrants are exercisable not all rights or warrants shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually purchased upon exercise issued).
(c) In case IAC shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of IAC (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities of any person other than IAC but excluding (1) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (2) dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 4.06), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 4.06 and also excluding the distribution of rights to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to the adoption of a stockholders rights plan or the detachment of such rights under the terms of such stockholder rights plan), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the current Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of a Security shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets so distributed or of such rights or warrants such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security on such record date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.06(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. In the event that IAC has or implements a preferred shares rights plan ("Rights Plan"), upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, to the extent that any such Rights Plan is still in effect upon such conversion, the holders of Securities will receive, in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a Rights Plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 4.06(c). Rights or warrants distributed by IAC to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of IAC's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.06 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.06 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 4.06(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 4.06 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
(1) In case IAC shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution") to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by IAC or a Subsidiary of IAC for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06 has been made and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Business Day (the "Determination Date") immediately preceding the day on which such Triggering Distribution is declared by IAC multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of IAC), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value (determined as aforesaid in this Section 4.06(c)(1)) of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable within such 12 months (including, without limitation, the Triggering Distribution) applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately after prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationon which the Triggering Distribution is paid.
(c2) In case outstanding shares any tender offer made by IAC or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers by IAC or any Subsidiary of IAC for Common Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date (as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06 has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock shall as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be subdivided into a greater amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the number of shares of Common StockStock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of IAC) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the Expiration Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of IAC) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of IAC) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the day upon which Expiration Date.

If the day following application of this Section 4.06(c)(2) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the day upon which such combination becomes effective Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be proportionately increasedmade for such tender offer under this Section 4.06(c)(2).

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall be that price set forth in paragraph 8 of the form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A and shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall (i) pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class in shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock to all holders of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) reclassify its outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Security been converted immediately (whether or not it was then convertible) prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b) In case the Company shall issue to all holders of its Common Stock, rights, warrants or options entitling such holders (for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (e) below) at the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend rights, warrants or other distribution options, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be reduced adjusted so that the Conversion Price shall equal the price determined by multiplying such the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction fraction, the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at on such record date, plus the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and which the aggregate subscription or purchase price for the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in offered by the treasury rights, warrants or options so issued (or the aggregate conversion price of Gabellithe convertible securities offered by such rights, warrants or options) would purchase at such current market price, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregarded.)
(b) In case Gabelli shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction denominator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered by such rights, warrants or options (or into which the convertible securities so offered by such rights, warrants or options are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become effective immediately after such record date. If at the close end of business on the date fixed for period during which such determination plus rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted to what it would have been upon application of the foregoing adjustment substituting the number of additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate issuable upon conversion of the offering price of convertible securities actually issued) for the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise offered (or the convertible securities offered).
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness, other securities or other assets, or shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock, rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding (i) rights, options and warrants referred to in Section 10.06(b) above; (ii) those dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations referred to in Section 10.06(a) above; and (iii) dividends and distributions paid in cash), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such rights distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in Section 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the Capital Stock or evidences of indebtedness, securities or assets so distributed or of such rights, warrants would have purchased at such Current Market Price or options, in each case as applicable, to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in Section 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on such record date; provided that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the distribution such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security immediately prior to the record date for such distribution. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall repurchase (including by way of tender offer) shares of Common Stock, and the fair market value of the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration paid for such Common Stock and (ii) the aggregate fair market value of any amounts previously paid for the repurchase of Common Stock of a type described in this paragraph (d) within the 12 months preceding the date of purchase of such shares of Common Stock in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06 previously has been made, exceeds 5% of Common Stock Market Capitalization on the date of, and after giving effect to, such repurchase, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the -55- Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such purchase by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in Section 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on the date of such repurchase, less the quotient obtained by dividing the Aggregate Market Premium involved in such repurchase (as defined hereinafter) by the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for before such determination plus repurchase and the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise the subject of such rights or warrantsrepurchase, and the denominator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined in Section 10.06(e) below) of the Common Stock on the date of such reduction to repurchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening date of business on such repurchase. For purposes of this subsection (d), the day following "Aggregate Market Premium" is the excess, if any, of the aggregate repurchase price paid for all such Common Stock over the aggregate current market value per share (as defined in subsection (e) below) of all such repurchased stock, determined with respect to each share involved in each such repurchase as of the date fixed for of repurchase with respect to such terminationshare.
(ce) In case outstanding someone other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock in which, as of the closing date of the offer, the Company's Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided in subsection (d) above. The adjustment referred to in this clause will only be made if:
(i) the tender offer or exchange offer is for an amount that increases the offeror's ownership of common stock to more than 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the Company's issued and outstanding Voting Stock; and
(ii) cash and the value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the current market price per share of Common Stock on the Business Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to the tender or exchange offer. However, the adjustment referred to in this subsection (e) will not be made if as of the closing of the offer, the offering documents disclose a plan or an intention to cause the Company to engage in a consolidation or merger of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. For the purpose of any computation under Sections 10.06(b), (c) and (d) above and this Section 10.06(e), the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be subdivided into deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing 30 Trading Days before the record date with respect to any distribution, issuance or other event requiring such computation. The "Closing Price" with respect to the Common Stock for any day shall mean the closing sale price, regular way, per share of Common Stock on such day or, in case no such sale of Common Stock takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, per share of Common Stock in each case on the NASDAQ Stock Market or principal national securities exchange or other quotation system on which the Common Stock is quoted or listed or admitted to trading on such day, or, if the Common Stock is not so quoted or listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share of Common Stock on the over-the-counter market on the day in question as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or a greater similar generally accepted reporting service, or, if such average is not so available, determined in such manner as furnished by any NASDAQ Stock Market member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors for that purpose, or if not so determinable as provided under any applicable alternative above, a price per share of Common Stock determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a duly authorized committee thereof, whose determination shall be conclusive. "Common Stock Market Capitalization" means, as of any date of calculation, the average Closing Price of the Common Stock on the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to such date of calculation multiplied by the average aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the 10 Trading Days immediately prior to such date of calculation.
(f) To the extent that the Company adopts any future rights plan, upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, Securityholders will receive, in addition to Common Stock, the rights under the future rights plan whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion and no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made in accordance with paragraph (c).
(g) In case the Company shall declare a cash dividend or distribution to all of the holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock decreased so that the Conversion Price shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at immediately prior to the opening record date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of business which shall be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock price for the three consecutive trading days ending on the day following date immediately preceding the day upon record date for such dividend or distribution (the "Pre-Dividend Sale Price"), minus the full amount of such cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(ii) the denominator of which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increasedthe Pre-Dividend Sale Price, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that no adjustment to the Conversion Price or the ability of business a Holder of a Security to convert will be made pursuant to this Section 10.06(g) if the Company provides that Holders of Securities will participate in such cash dividend or distribution on an as-converted basis without conversion and provided further, that if the numerator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Security immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. In any case in which this Section 10.06 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date established for purposes of Section 10.06, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 10.06) issuing to the holder of any Security converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion only on the day following basis of the day Conversion Price prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares. If after an adjustment a Holder of a Security upon which conversion of such subdivision Security may receive shares of two or combination becomes effective.more classes of Capital Stock of the Company, the Conversion Price shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of an action taken with respect to any such class of Capital Stock as is contemplated by this Article X with respect to the Common Stock, on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Article X.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Capital Stock capital stock of Gabelli payable the Company in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determinationdetermination of the holders entitled to such dividends and distributions. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to this Section 11.5(a), the Conversion Price as set forth herein, number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabelli, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardedthe Company.)
(b) In case Gabelli the Company shall issue rights rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for for, purchase or purchase acquire shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders shareholders entitled to receive such rights rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for termination of such subscription or purchase period determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription, purchase or warrants acquisition would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price current market price and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights so offered for subscription, purchase or warrantsacquisition, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such terminationdetermination of the holders entitled to such right, options or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any right, option or warrant to purchase Common Stock, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 11.5(b), if any such right, option or warrant shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed immediately upon such expiration and effective immediately upon such expiration shall be increased to the price it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments to the Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof -41- 49 after the issuance of such rights, options or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Price made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants. No further adjustment shall be made upon exercise of any right, option or warrant if any adjustment shall have been made upon the issuance of such security. For the purposes of this Section 11.5(b), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and and, conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, to equal the product of the Conversion Price in effect on such date and a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such subdivision or combination, as the case may be. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness or (ii) shares of any class of capital stock, cash or other assets (including securities, but excluding (1) any rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 11.5(b) hereof, (2) any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 11.5(a) hereof, and (3) cash dividends paid from the Company's retained earnings unless the sum of (A) all such cash dividends and distributions made within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (B) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration paid in respect of any repurchases of Common Stock by the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 20% of the Company's market capitalization (being the product of the then current market price per share of the Common Stock times the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) on the record date for such distribution), then in each case, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock on such date of determination (or, if earlier, on the date on which the Common Stock goes "ex-dividend" in respect of such distribution) less the then fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with any conversion agent) of the portion of the capital stock, cash or other assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed (and for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price has not previously been made pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.5) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such date of determination of the holders entitled to such distribution. The following transactions shall be excluded from the foregoing clauses (A) and (B): (x) repurchases of Common Stock issued under the -42- 50 Company's stock incentive programs and (y) dividends or distributions payable-in-kind in additional shares of or warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into additional shares of Junior Securities.
(e) The reclassification or change of Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 11.6 shall apply) shall be deemed to involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution" within the meaning of Section 11.5(d) hereof), and (ii) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 11.5(c) hereof).
(f) The Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price if it considers such reductions to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of Common Stock by any amount, but in no event may the Conversion Price be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced, the Company shall mail to Holders of record of Notes a notice of the reduction. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect. The notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect. A reduction of the Conversion Price does not change or adjust the Conversion Price otherwise in effect for purposes of Sections 11.5(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.
(g) No adjustment in the Conversion Price need be made until all cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% in the Conversion Price, as last adjusted; provided that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 11.5(g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article 11 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent.
(h) For the purpose of any computation under Section 11.5, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any day shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Board of Directors commencing no more than 30 Trading Days before and ending no later than the day before the day in question; provided that, in the case of Section 11.5(d) hereof, if the period between the date of the public announcement of the dividend or distribution and the date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (or, if earlier, the date on which the Common Stock goes "ex-dividend" in respect of such dividend or distribution) shall be less than 20 Trading Days, the period shall be such lesser number of Trading Days but, in any event, not less than five Trading Days.
(i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value of the Common Stock. No adjustment in the Conversion Price need be made under Section 11.5(a), (b) or (d) hereof if the Company issues or distributes to each Holder of Notes the shares of Common Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, options or warrants referred to in those paragraphs which each Holder would have been entitled to receive had Notes been converted into Common Stock prior to the happening of such event or the record date with respect thereto.
(j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any conversion agent other than the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the fact requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which each adjustment became effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to each Holder of Notes at his last address appearing on the Note register provided for in Section 2.5 hereof, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not effect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(k) In any case in which this Section 11.5 shall require that an adjustment as a result of any event become effective from and after a record date, the Company may elect to defer until after the occurrence of such event (i) the issuance to the Holder of and Notes converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event of the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares issuable on the basis of the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment and (ii) a cash payment for any remaining fractional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 11.3 hereof; provided, however, that if such event shall not have occurred and authorization of such event shall be rescinded by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed immediately upon such recision to the price that would have been in effect had such event not been authorized, provided that such recision is permitted by and effective under applicable laws.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
(a) In case Gabelli If the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a dividend or other distribution on any class to all holders of Capital the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Gabelli payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and of which the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Gabellithe Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 7.5(a) is declared but not so paid or made, and distributions the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or issuances in respect thereof, shall be disregardeddistribution had not been declared.)
(b) In case Gabelli If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 days, them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as hereinafter defineddefined below) on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following immediately prior to the date fixed for termination determination of stockholders entitled to receive such subscription rights or purchase period shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of such rights or warrants so offered would have purchased purchase at such Current Market Price Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such determination rights and warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock actually purchased upon exercise of offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrantsand warrants are issued, such reduction to and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such terminationrights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 7.5(a) applies) or evidences of indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 7.5(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 7.5(d) called the "Securities")), then, in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Holders upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such Holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had converted its Notes into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in Section 7.5(h) for such distribution of the Securities)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date (as defined below) with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date, provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Note on the Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 7.5(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock to the extent possible. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 7.5 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 7.5 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 7.5(d). If any such rights or warrants are subject to events upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the Holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 7.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. For purposes of this Section 7.5(d) and Sections 7.5(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 7.5(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 7.5(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Sections 7.5(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Sections 7.5(a) and (b), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 7.5(a).
(e) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 7.6 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 7.5(d)) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any other such distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.5(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 7.5(f) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 7.5(h)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such Record Date provided, however, that, if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(f) If a tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expires and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) requires the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that, combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.5(f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all Holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 7.5(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 7.5(h)) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstand
