Each Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect repurchases, cancellations, transfers or conversions permitted hereby. Any endorsement of the Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Payment of principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a Record Date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.
Section 3.03 Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest; Defaulted Interest. (a) The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.04 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Depositary.
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture, None of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar shall be required to exchange Notes for other Notes or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion in accordance with Article 8 for Shares, or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion for Shares, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion in accordance with Article 8 or (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 9.
(b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Notes (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interest in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with the Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the Applicable Procedures.
(c) The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co. A Global Note may be transferred, in whole or in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.
(d) The Company shall cause to be kept an office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion in accordance with Article 8 of this First Supplemental Indenture (the “Conversion Agent”). The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Conversion Agent. The Company may have one or more additional Conversion Agents with respect to the Notes. If the Company fails to maintain an Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Conversion Agent; provided that neither the Company nor an Affiliate of the Company shall act as Conversion Agent in connection with the discharge of the Indenture under Article 4 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the penultimate paragraph of Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.
Section 3.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. Solely for purposes of the Notes, the third and fourth paragraphs of Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following: “In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 8 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any co-Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen.”
| 9 |
Section 3.06 Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 3.01, reopen the Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or conversion offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 3.09 of the Base Indenture.

On the 366th day, if such Event of Default is continuing, such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided above. The provisions of the Indenture described in this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In no event shall Additional Interest accrue at a rate in excess of the applicable rate specified above, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to requirements to pay such Additional Interest pursuant to this paragraph. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.02 or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.01(b).
| 14 |

Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.01(b).
Section 6.03 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, may, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, after a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment of decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, rescind and annual such declaration if:
(a) The Company has paid (or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay) (i) all overdue interest on all Notes; (ii) the principal amount of any Notes that have become due otherwise than by such declaration or acceleration; (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest; and (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture and reasonable compensation expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
(b) All Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal amounts and any accrued and unpaid interest that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.
Section 6.04 Notice of Defaults.
(a) Within 90 calendar days of becoming aware of the occurrence of any default, the Trustee shall give notice to Holders of the Notes notice of all uncured defaults known to it.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 8, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $2,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 11.7942 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 8 the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes the “Conversion Obligation”).
| 17 |
Section 8.02 Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion. (a) Subject to Sections 8.02, 8.03(b) and 8.07(a), upon conversion of the Notes, a Holder shall receive, on or prior to the third Trading Day following the Conversion Date (except as provided below), a number of Shares equal to (i) (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted, divided by (B) $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that with respect to any Conversion Date that occurs on or after the Regular Record Date for the final payment of interest on the Notes (i.e., July 1, 2019), the Company shall deliver such Shares on the Maturity Date.
(c) Subject to Section 8.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 8.02(h) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any Shares to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 8.02(h). The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 8 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 9.02.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(d) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above (the “Conversion Date”). The Company shall cause to be issued and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full number of Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.
(e) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the exchanging Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.
| 18 |
(f) The Company shall pay any transfer or similar taxes due upon conversion other than any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of Shares, if any, due upon conversion in a name other than that of the converting Holder, which such taxes shall be the obligation of the Holder. Certificates representing Shares shall be issued and delivered only after all applicable transfer or similar taxes, if any, payable by the Holder have been paid in full.
(g) Except as provided in Section 8.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any Shares delivered upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 8.
(h) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(i) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of the Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any Defaulted Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.
(j) The Person in whose name the certificate for any Shares delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.
(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not deliver any fractional shares upon conversion and instead shall deliver cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the Shares on the Conversion Date (or, if the Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the next following Trading Day).
| 19 |
Section 8.03 Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes. (a) If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional Shares (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the Conversion Date occurs on or following the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change but before the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of such converted Notes in accordance with Section 8.02 based on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Additional Shares pursuant to the table below; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Share Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Additional Shares), multiplied by such Share Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Share Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Shares in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Shares receive in conversion for their Shares only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per Share. Otherwise, the Share Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Shares over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Company’s Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Share Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, during such five consecutive Trading Day period.
(d) The Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Share Prices shall equal the Share Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Share Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 8.04.

(i) if the Share Price is between two Share Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
(ii) if the Share Price is greater than $125.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and
(iii) if the Share Price is less than $66.50 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 15.0375, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04.
(f) Nothing in this Section 8.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Section 8.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Shares and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 8.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of Shares equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
| 21 |
(a) If the Company issues Shares as a dividend or distribution on Shares, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
| CR 1 = CR 0 × | OS 1 _______ OS 0 |
where,
| CR 1 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be; |
| CR 0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be; |
| OS 0 = | the number of Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination; |
| OS 1 = | the number of Shares that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such dividend, distribution, share split or combination, as the case may be. |
Any adjustment made under this Section 8.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 8.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date that the Company’s Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Shares any rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of 45 calendar days or less from the declaration date for such distribution, Shares at a price per share less than the average closing sale price of the Shares for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the declaration date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
| CR 1 = CR0 × | OS 0 + X __________ OS 0 + Y |
| 22 |
where,
| CR 1 = | Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Record Date for such distribution; |
| CR 0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for such distribution; |
| OS 0 = | the number of Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for such distribution; |
| X = | the total number of Shares issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and |
| Y = | the number of Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, divided by the average of the closing prices of the Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for such distribution. |
Any increase made under this Section 8.04(b) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-dividend Date for such distribution. To the extent that Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.
For the purpose of this Section 8.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the Holders to purchase Shares at a price per share less than such average closing sale price for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the declaration date for such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable upon exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(c) (i) If the Company distributes Shares, evidences of its indebtedness or other of the Company’s securities, assets or property to all or substantially all holders of its Shares, excluding (1) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(b), (2) the initial distribution of rights issued pursuant to a shareholders rights plan; provided that such rights plan provides for the issuance of such rights with respect to the Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes; (3) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and (4) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in Section 8.04(c)(ii) shall apply (any of such shares evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
| ▇▇ |
| ▇▇ ▇ = CR 0 × | SP 0 ___________ SP 0 – FMV |
where,
| CR 1 = | Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Record Date for such distribution; |
| CR 0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for such distribution; |
| SP 0 = | the average of the closing prices of the Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for such distribution; and |
| FMV = | the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share as of the open of business on the Record Date for such distribution. |
Any increase made under this Section 8.04(c)(i) will become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP 0 ” (as defined above), or if the difference between “SP 0 ” and “FMV” is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Company’s Shares without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of the Company’s capital stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other of its securities, assets or property that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-dividend Date for the distribution.
(ii) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the shares of LLC interests of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that will be, upon distribution, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
| CR 1 = CR 0 × |
FMV + MP 0 __________ |
| 24 |
where,
| CR 1 = | Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Record Date for the spin-off; |
| CR 0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for the spin-off; |
| FMV = | the average of the closing prices of the LLC interests or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Shares applicable to one share over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the third Trading Day after the Record Date for such spin-off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and |
| MP 0 = | the average of the closing prices of Shares over the Valuation Period. |
Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.04(c)(ii) will be made immediately after the open of business on the day after the last day of the Valuation Period, but shall be given effect as of the open of business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off. Because the Company makes the adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Valuation Period with retroactive effect, the Company shall delay the settlement of any Notes where the final day of the related observation period occurs during the Valuation Period. In such event, the Company shall pay the principal portion and deliver Shares, if any, and any cash in lieu thereof (based on the adjusted Conversion Rate as described above) on the third business day immediately following the last day of the Valuation Period.
(d) If any cash dividend or distribution in cash is made to all or substantially all holders of the Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
|
▇▇ ▇ ▇ ▇▇ ▇ ▇ |
▇▇ ▇ - ▇▇▇ ____________ SP 0 - C |
where,
| CR 1 = | Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| CR 0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date for such distribution; |
| SP 0 = | the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-dividend date for such distribution; |
| DTA = | the dividend threshold amount, which shall equal $0.95 per share in any quarter; and |
| C = | the amount in cash per share distributed to holders of Shares. |
The dividend threshold amount is subject to adjustment on an inversely proportional basis whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 8.04(d) as a result of a distribution that is not a regular quarterly dividend, the dividend threshold amount will be deemed to be zero.
| 25 |
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Shares, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Share exceeds the closing price of the Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
|
CR 1 = CR 0 × |
AC + (SP 1 × OS 1 ) _________________ |
where,
| CR 1 = | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m. on the day such tender offer or exchange offer expires; |
| CR 0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; |
| AC = | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by The Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; |
| SP 1 = | the average of the closing prices of Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires (the “Averaging Period”); |
| OS 1 = | the number of Shares outstanding immediately after the close of business on the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and |
| OS 0 = | the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer). |
Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.04(e) will be made immediately prior to the open of business on the day following the last day of the Averaging Period, but will be given effect as of the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires. Because the Company shall make the adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Averaging Period with retroactive effect, the Company shall delay the settlement of any Notes where the final day of the related observation period occurs during the Averaging Period. In such event, the Company shall pay the principal portion and deliver Shares, if any, and any cash in lieu thereof (based on the adjusted Conversion Rate as described above) on the third business day immediately following the last day of the Averaging Period.
| 26 |
(f) The Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate to any Holder that participates (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), without having to convert such Holder’s Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of our Shares and as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in Sections 8.03 or 8.04 if such Holder held a number of Shares equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(g) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or carrying the right to purchase Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
(h) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 8.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of The New York Stock Exchange, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Company’s Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of The New York Stock Exchange, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Shares or rights to purchase Shares in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Security Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:
(i) On account of any stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in Section 9.04(e), including structured or derivative transactions or transactions pursuant to a share repurchase program approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or otherwise.
(ii) upon the issuance of any Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Shares under any plan;
(iii) upon the issuance of any Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(iv) upon the issuance of any Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (iii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;
(v) solely for a change in the par value of the Shares;
| 27 |
(vi) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any; or
(vii) for an event otherwise requiring an adjustment as set forth in this Section 8.04, if such event is not consummated.
(viii) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 10 shall be made by the Company (or by the Board of Directors of the Company, if so specified) and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share.
(j) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect.
(k) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the number of Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Shares held in its treasury, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Shares. In addition, in the event of any adjustments to the Conversion Rate as set forth in this Section 8.04, the Company shall issue a press release through Business Wire containing the relevant information and make such information available on its website or through another public medium as it may use at that time.
(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company not be required to make an adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate. The Company shall carry forward any adjustment that is less than 1% of the Conversion Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (a) annually on the anniversary of the first date of issue of the Notes and otherwise (b) at least 10 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any repurchase date, unless such adjustment has already been made.
(m) If a taxable distribution to holders of our Shares or other transactions occur that result in any adjustment of the Conversion Rate (including an adjustment at our option) you may, in certain circumstances, be deemed to have received a distribution subject to US income tax as a dividend. In certain other circumstances, the absence of an adjustment may result in a taxable dividend to the holder of our Shares.
Section 8.05 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of the Indenture requires the Company to calculate the closing sales prices or Last Reported Sale Prices over, or based on, a span of multiple days (including a conversion period, or valuation period or averaging period), the Company shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the closing sale prices or Last Reported Sale Prices are to be calculated.
| 28 |
Section 8.06 Reservation of Shares. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of the Company’s authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, a number of Shares equal to the Conversion Rate multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of Notes presented for conversion (expressed in thousands and assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder).
Section 8.07 Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Shares.
(a) In the case of:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,
(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or
(iv) any statutory share conversion,
in each case, as a result of which the Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company shall exe cute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 7.02(c) providing that the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes for the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a Holder of a number of Shares equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”, with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a Holder of one Share is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated and settlement in accordance with Section 8.02 shall apply such that (A) the number of Shares, if any, otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 8.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a Holder of that number of Shares would have received in such Merger Event and (B) the last reported sale price shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.
If the Merger Event causes the Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property for which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Shares that affirmatively make such an election, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Shares.
| 29 |
If the holders of Shares receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Merger Event (x) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 8.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of Shares in such Merger Event and (y) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 8. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Company’s Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.
(b) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 8.07, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Holders.
(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 8.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes into Shares, if any, as set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.
(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 8.08 Certain Covenants. (a) The Company covenants that all Shares delivered upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue and delivery thereof.
(b) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Shares shall be listed on any national or regional securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will cause the Company to list and keep listed, so long as the Shares shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Shares deliverable upon conversion of the Notes.
| 30 |
Section 8.09 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Shares, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue or of the Company to transfer or deliver any Shares or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 8.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 8.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.03 of the Base Indenture, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.
Section 8.10 Shareholder Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Shares, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Shares issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the Shares in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan so that the Holders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Shares, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Shares Distributed Property as provided in Section 8.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
ARTICLE
9
Repurchase of Notes at Option of Holders
Section 9.01 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days nor more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of Notes of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 9.
| 31 |
(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 9.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and
(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:
(i) in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
(ii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $2,000 or an integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; and
(iii) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and the Indenture;
provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 9.01 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 9.02.
| 32 |
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(c) On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;
(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 9;
(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(vii) if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate;
(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;
(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01.
At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
| 33 |
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Section 9.02 Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. (a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 9.02 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
(i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,
(ii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;
provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
Section 9.03 Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. (a) The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03 of the Base Indenture) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 9.01) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 9.01 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Security Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
| 34 |
(b) If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery or transfer of such Notes).
(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 9.01, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note surrendered.
Section 9.04 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase offer, the Company will, if required:
(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may be applicable at the time of the offer to repurchase the Notes;
(b) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule to the extent required under the Exchange Act; and
(c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes;
in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 9 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 9.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC
2.875% Convertible Senior Note due 2019
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 15, 2014 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), which amends and supplements the Senior Indenture dated as of July 15 between the Company and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture” and, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture and from time to time with respect to the Notes, the “Indenture”). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes.
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, reopen the Indenture and issue additional Notes with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes initially issued thereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued thereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.
| A-5 |
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be converted for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.
The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund or otherwise.
This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into Shares (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.
