Adjustment of each Fixed Settlement Rate. (a) Each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be subject to the following adjustments: (i) If the Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination; and (B) 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. Any adjustment made under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. (ii) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options, warrants or other securities (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment, share purchase or similar plan), entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock for a period expiring within 45 days from the date of issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the 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 consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or other securities would purchase at such Current Market Price; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Any increase in the Fixed Settlement Rates made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities. To the extent such rights, options, warrants or other securities are not exercised or converted prior to their expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof (and as a result no additional shares of Common Stock are delivered or issued pursuant to such rights, options, warrants or other securities), each new Fixed Settlement Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities been made on the basis of delivery or issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options, warrants or other securities entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options, warrants or other securities, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options, warrants or other securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. (iii) If outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided, split or reclassified into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall each be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced. (iv) If the Company, by dividend or otherwise, distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, assets or securities or any rights, options or warrants (or similar securities) to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or other securities (but excluding any rights, options, warrants or other securities referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 5.05(a), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash referred to in clause (v) below of this Section 5.05(a) (in each case, whether or not an adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates is required by such clause), any dividend paid in shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company in the case of a Spin-Off referred to below, or dividends or distributions referred to in clause (i) of this Section 5.05(a)), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock; and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price. Any increase made under the portion of this clause (iv) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each Purchase Contract included in such Holder’s Units, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of such distributed assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Maximum Settlement Rate on the record date for such dividend or distribution. In the case of the payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, which are or will, upon issuance, be listed on a U.S. securities exchange or quotation system (a “Spin-Off”), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution will be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price; and (B) the denominator of which is such Current Market Price plus the Fair Market Value (determined as set forth below) of those shares of capital stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock.

(B) the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination, such increase in each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective immediately at the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (i), 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 any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company agrees that it shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(ii) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options, other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plans or share purchase plans, to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of announcement of such issuance, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the date of such announcement shall be increased by multiplying such Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction of which:
(A) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such announcement plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such announcement plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares constituting of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase in the manner described in this Section 5.04(a)(ii) would purchase at the Current Market Price on the date of such dividend or other distribution. Any adjustment made under this clause (i) shall announcement, such increase in each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the date of such announcement. The Company agrees that it shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent if any issuance of such rights, warrants or options is cancelled or not completed following the announcement thereof and each Fixed Settlement Rate shall thereupon immediately be readjusted to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared.

(A) the numerator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock; and
(B) the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and the basis for which shall be described in a Board Resolution), such adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective at the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend distribution; provided that if the fair market value of the Distributed Property applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or other greater than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon settlement the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder settled each Purchase Contract on the date fixed for such determination as if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date were such date fixed for such determination.

Adjustment of each Fixed Settlement Rate. (a) Each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be subject to the following adjustments:
(i) If the Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination; and
(B) 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. Any adjustment made under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(ii) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options, warrants or other securities (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment, share purchase or similar plan), entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock for a period expiring within 45 days from the date of issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the 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 consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or other securities would purchase at such Current Market Price; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Any increase in the Fixed Settlement Rates made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities. To the extent such rights, options, warrants or other securities are not exercised or converted prior to their expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof (and as a result no additional shares of Common Stock are delivered or issued pursuant to such rights, options, warrants or other securities), each new Fixed Settlement Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities been made on the basis of delivery or issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options, warrants or other securities entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options, warrants or other securities, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options, warrants or other securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(iii) If outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided, split or reclassified into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall each be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced.
(iv) If the Company, by dividend or otherwise, distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, assets assets, or securities or any rights, options or warrants (or similar securities) to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or other securities (but excluding any rights, options, warrants or other securities referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 5.05(a), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash referred to in clause (v) below of this Section 5.05(a) (in each case, whether or not an adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates is required by such clause), and any dividend paid in shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company in the case of a Spin-Off referred to below, or dividends or distributions referred to in clause (i) of this Section 5.05(a)), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price. Any increase made under the portion of this clause (iv) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each Purchase Contract included in such Holder’s Units, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of such distributed assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Maximum Settlement Rate on the record date for such dividend or distribution. In the case of the payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, which are or will, upon issuance, be listed on a U.S. securities exchange or quotation system (a “Spin-Off”), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution will be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,
(AC) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price; and
(BD) the denominator of which is such Current Market Price plus the Fair Market Value (determined as set forth below) of those shares of capital stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock.

(A) the numerator shall be the sum of which the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution; and
(B) the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination, such increase in each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective immediately at the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (i), 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 any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company agrees that it shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(ii) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options, other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plans or share purchase plans, to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of announcement of such issuance, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the date of such announcement shall be increased by multiplying such Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction of which:
(A) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such announcement plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such announcement plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares constituting of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase in the manner described in this Section 5.04(a)(ii) would purchase at the Current Market Price on the date of such dividend or other distribution. Any adjustment made under this clause (i) shall announcement, such increase in each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the date of such announcement. The Company agrees that it shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent if any issuance of such rights, warrants or options is cancelled or not completed following the announcement thereof and each Fixed Settlement Rate shall thereupon immediately be readjusted to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared.

The Company agrees that it shall not issue any such rights, warrants or options in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(iii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the day preceding the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the day preceding the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately decreased, such increase or decrease, as the case may be, to become effective immediately at the opening of business on the Business Day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective.
(iv) (w) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including shares of capital stock, securities, cash and property but excluding any rights, warrants or options referred to in Section 5.04(a)(ii) above, any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 5.04(a)(i) above) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.04(a)(iv) called the “Distributed Property”), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction of which:
(A) the numerator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock; and
(B) the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and the basis for which shall be described in a Board Resolution), such adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective at the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend distribution; provided that if the fair market value of the Distributed Property applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or other greater than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon settlement the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder settled each Purchase Contract on the date fixed for such determination as if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date were such date fixed for such determination. If In any case in which this Section 5.04(a)(iv) is applicable, Section 5.04(a)(ii) shall not be applicable. In the event that such dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall again be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not adjusted to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to be the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(ii) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options, warrants or other securities (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment, share purchase or similar plan), entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock for a period expiring within 45 days from the date of issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,

Any adjustment made under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(ii) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options, warrants or other securities (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment, share purchase or similar plan), ) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock for a period expiring within 45 days from the date of issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the 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 consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or other securities would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the 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 consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or other securities would purchase at such Current Market Price; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Any increase in the Fixed Settlement Rates made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities. To the extent such rights, options, warrants or other securities are not exercised or converted prior to their expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof (and as a result no additional shares of Common Stock are delivered or issued pursuant to such rights, options, warrants or other securities), each new Fixed Settlement Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities been made on the basis of delivery or issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options, warrants or other securities entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options, warrants or other securities, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options, warrants or other securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(iii) If outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided, split or reclassified into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall each be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced.
(iv) If the Company, by dividend or otherwise, distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, assets assets, or securities or any rights, options or warrants (or similar securities) to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or other securities (but excluding any rights, options, warrants or other securities referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 5.05(a), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash referred to in clause (v) below of this Section 5.05(a) (in each case, whether or not an adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates is required by such clause), and any dividend paid in shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company in the case of a Spin-Off referred to below, or dividends or distributions referred to in clause (i) of this Section 5.05(a)), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price calculated as of the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock; and
(B) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price. Any increase made under the portion of this clause (iv) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each Purchase Contract included in such Holder’s Units, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of such distributed assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Maximum Settlement Rate on the record date for such dividend or distribution. In the case of the payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, which are or will, upon issuance, be listed on a U.S. securities exchange or quotation system (a “Spin-Off”), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution will be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price; and
(B) the denominator of which is such Current Market Price plus the Fair Market Value (determined as set forth below) of those shares of capital stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock.

Adjustment of each Fixed Settlement Rate. (a) Each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be subject to the following adjustments:

(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination; and
