Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number and Kind of Shares or Number of Rights The Purchase Price, the number and kind of shares covered by each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11.
(i) In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide or split the outstanding Common Stock, (C) combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of all of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation), except as otherwise provided in this Section 11(a) and in Section 7(e), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination, consolidation or reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive, upon the payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date and at a time when the Common Stock transfer books of the Company were open, such holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, split, combination, consolidation or reclassification, provided, however, that if the record date for any such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification shall occur prior to the Distribution Date, the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment only to the Purchase Price (taking into account any additional Rights which may be issued as a result of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification), in lieu of also adjusting (as described above) the number of Common Shares (or other capital shares, as the case may be) issuable upon exercise of the Rights. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii), the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii).
(ii) In the event (a "Section 11(a)(ii) Event") that, at any time after the date of this Agreement, any Person, alone or together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall become the Beneficial Owner of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding or a Record Date Owner is no longer an Exempt Person, then, promptly following the occurrence of such Section 11(a)(ii) Event, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right, except as provided below and in Section 7(e) of this Agreement, shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise thereof at the then current Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as shall equal the result obtained by dividing (x) the product obtained by multiplying (1) the then current Purchase Price by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Right is then exercisable by (y) fifty percent (50%) of the current market price (as defined below) per share of the Common Stock (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) on the date of the occurrence of such 11(a)(ii) Event (such number of shares being referred to as the "Adjustment Shares").
(iii) In lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii), the Company, acting by resolution of the Board, may, and in the event that the number of shares of Common Stock which are authorized by the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation but not outstanding or reserved for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights is not sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii), the Company, acting by resolution of the Board, shall: (A) determine the excess of (1) the value of the Adjustment Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Right (the "Current Value") over (2) the Purchase Price attributable to each Right (such excess being referred to as the "Spread") and (B) with respect to all or a portion of each Right (subject to Section 7(e) hereof), make adequate provision to substitute for the Adjustment Shares, upon payment of the applicable Purchase Price, (1) cash, (2) a reduction in the Purchase Price, (3) equity securities of the Company other than Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares, or units of shares, of preferred stock which the Board has determined to have the same value as shares of Common Stock (such securities being referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents")), (4) debt securities of the Company, (5) other assets or (6) any combination of the foregoing which, when added to any shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise, has an aggregate value equal to the Current Value, where such aggregate value has been determined by the Board based upon the advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Board which has theretofore performed no services for the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the immediately preceding five (5) years; provided, however, if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty (30) Business Days following the later of (x) the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event and (y) the date on which the Company's right of redemption pursuant to Section 24(a) expires (the later of (x) and (y) being referred to herein as the "Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date"), then the Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, shares of Common Stock (to the extent available) and then, if necessary, cash, which shares and/or cash have an aggregate value equal to the Spread. If the Board shall determine in good faith that it is likely that sufficient additional shares of Common Stock could be authorized for issuance upon exercise in full of the Rights, the period of thirty (30) Business Days set forth above may be extended (such period, as it may be extended, the "Substitution Period") to the extent necessary, but not more than ninety (90) Business Days after the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date, in order that the Company may seek stockholder approval for the authorization of such additional shares. To the extent that the Company determines that some action need be taken pursuant to the first and/or second sentences of this Section 11(a)(iii), the Company (x) shall provide, subject to Section 7(e) hereof, that such action shall apply uniformly to all outstanding Rights and (y) may suspend the exercisability of the Rights until the expiration of the Substitution Period in order to seek any authorization of additional shares and/or to decide the appropriate form of distribution to be made pursuant to such first sentence and to determine the value thereof. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended and a public announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect. For purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), the value of the Common Stock shall be the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date and the value of any "Common Stock Equivalent" shall be deemed to have the same value as the Common Stock of the Company on such date.
(b) If the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent, securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or a Common Stock Equivalent, at a price per share of Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalent (or having a conversion price per share, if a security is convertible into shares of Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalent) that is less than the current market price per share of Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalent on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus (ii) the number of additional shares of Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalent which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be offered (or the average initial conversion price of the convertible securities to be offered) would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus (ii) the number of additional shares of Common Stock or such Common Stock Equivalent to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible). In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be determined by the Board reasonably and with good faith to the holders of Rights, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and conclusive for all purposes. Shares of Common Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed and, in the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall be readjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(c) If the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation) of evidence of indebtedness, cash (other than a regular, periodic cash dividend at a rate not in excess of one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the rate of the last regular, periodic cash dividend theretofore paid), assets (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock, but including any dividend payable in stock other than Common Stock) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 11(b)), the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the current market price) per share of Common Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board reasonably and with good faith to the holders of Rights, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and conclusive for all purposes) of the portion of the cash, assets or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants distributable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the current market price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed and, in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the "current market price" per share of Common Stock on any date for the purpose of any computation under this Agreement shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of such Common Stock for the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (as such term is defined below) immediately prior to such date; provided, however, that in the event that current market price per share of Common Stock is determined during the period following the announcement by the issuer of such Common Stock of (i) a dividend or distribution on such Common Stock payable in shares of such Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of such Common Stock other than the Rights or (ii) any subdivision, split, combination, consolidation or reclassification of such Common Stock, and prior to the expiration of thirty (30) Trading Days after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, split, combination, consolidation or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the "current market price" shall be equitably adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading or the effects of such subdivision, split, combination, consolidation or reclassification, as the case may be. The closing price for each day shall 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 or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the shares of such Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of such Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading or, if the shares of such Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the closing sale price or the last quoted price or, if not so quoted,
