Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Completion of Convertible Senior Notes Offering

On March 19, 2012, Medivation, Inc. completed its registered underwritten public offering of $258.75 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.625% convertible senior notes due 2017 (such notes, the “Notes,” and such offering, the “Offering”) pursuant to the underwriting agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as the representative of the several underwriters, described in Item 8.01 below.

The Notes sold in the Offering include $33.75 million aggregate principal amount of Notes sold to the underwriters pursuant to their 30-day option to purchase Notes to cover over-allotments, which was exercised in full on March 15, 2012.

The Notes were offered and sold in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2012, which was effective upon filing (Registration No. 333-180042), including the prospectus supplement filed by Medivation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act dated March 12, 2012, to the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, dated March 12, 2012.

Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture

Medivation issued the Notes under an indenture, dated as of March 19, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), between Medivation and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of March 19, 2012 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between Medivation and the Trustee.

The Notes will mature on April 1, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by Medivation or converted. The Notes will be general senior unsecured obligations of Medivation and will rank senior in right of payment to any of Medivation’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, equal in right of payment to any of Medivation’s future indebtedness and other liabilities of Medivation that are not so subordinated, junior in right of payment to any of Medivation’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all future indebtedness incurred by Medivation’s subsidiaries and their other liabilities (including trade payables).

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2012. Prior to April 6, 2015, the Notes are not redeemable. On or after April 6, 2015, Medivation may redeem for cash all or a part of the Notes if the closing sale price of its common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day preceding the date it provides notice of the redemption exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day, subject to certain conditions. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount


of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs prior to the maturity date, holders may require Medivation to purchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

Holders may convert their Notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2017 only upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. On or after January 1, 2017 until the close of business on the second trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time. Upon conversion, Medivation will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate of 9.7586 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $102.47 per share of common stock, which is approximately 43.5% higher than the closing price of Medivation’s stock on March 13, 2012. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain events, such as distributions of dividends and stock splits. In addition, upon a Make-Whole Adjustment Event (as defined in the Indenture), Medivation will, under certain circumstances, increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Adjustment Event.

The Indenture provides that an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) will occur if: (a) Medivation fails to pay the principal of any Note when due; (b) Medivation fails to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the conversion obligation owing upon conversion of any Note (including any additional shares or cash in lieu thereof) within five calendar days; (c) Medivation fails to pay any interest on any Note when due, and such failure continues for 30 days; (d) Medivation fails to pay the fundamental change purchase price or redemption price of any Note when due; (e) Medivation fails to provide timely notice of a specified corporate transaction, a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Adjustment Event in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; (f) Medivation fails for 60 days after notice from the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding has been received to comply with any of its other agreements contained in the Notes or the Indenture; (g) any indebtedness for money borrowed by, or any other payment obligation of, Medivation or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture), in an outstanding principal amount, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $40 million is not paid at final maturity (or when otherwise due) or is accelerated, and such indebtedness is not discharged (or such default in payment or acceleration is not cured or rescinded) within 30 days after such due date or acceleration, as the case may be; (h) Medivation fails or any of its Significant Subsidiaries fails to pay one or more final and non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, the aggregate uninsured or unbonded portion of which is in excess of $40 million, if the judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed within 30 dayscertain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Medivation or any Significant Subsidiary occur; or (i) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Medivation or any Significant Subsidiary occur.

If certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related Events of Defaults occur, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding Notes shall automatically become due


and payable. If an Event of Default other than certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related Events of Defaults occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to Medivation or the holders of the Notes of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to Medivation and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, to the extent Medivation elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by Medivation to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes.

The indenture provides that Medivation shall not consolidate with or merge with or into another person, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its consolidated properties and assets to, another person, unless (a) the successor person, if any, is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of Medivation’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture; and (b) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

A copy of the Base Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture, including the form of Note, is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Notes and the Indenture in this Current Report is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Indenture and the form of Note included therein. The Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Form of Note are also filed with reference to, and are hereby incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 13, 2012, Medivation, Inc. entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as the representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which Medivation agreed to sell $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and, at the option of the Underwriters, up to an additional $33,750,000 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017.

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Medivation has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.


The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the copy thereof which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Medivation estimates that net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $250.3 million, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and estimated transaction expenses associated with the offering payable by Medivation. Medivation expects to use the net proceeds for working capital, including the further development and potential commercialization of its product candidates, and other general corporate purposes. Medivation may also use a portion of the net proceeds to invest in complementary products, technologies or businesses. Pending these uses, Medivation intends to invest the net proceeds from the offering primarily in investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

    As Representative of the several Underwriters

    named in Schedule 1 hereto

388 Greenwich Street

New York, New York 10013

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Medivation, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representative (the “Representative”), the principal amount of its securities identified in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Underwritten Securities”) and, at the option of the Underwriters, up to an additional principal amount of securities set forth in Schedule 1 hereto to cover over-allotments (the “Option Securities”). The Underwritten Securities and the Option Securities are herein referred to as the “Securities.” The Securities are to be issued under an indenture dated as of March 19, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 19, 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) and will be convertible into shares (the “Underlying Securities”) of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company in accordance with the Indenture. The Common Stock, including the Underlying Securities, will have attached thereto rights (the “Rights”) to purchase one-thousandth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Rights are to be issued pursuant to a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) dated as of December 4, 2006, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. To the extent there are no additional Underwriters listed on Schedule I other than you, the term Representative as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriter, and the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires.

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:

1. Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-180042), including a prospectus relating to the Securities and Rights. Such registration statement, as amended at the time it became effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means each prospectus included in such registration statement (and any amendments thereto) the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness, together with any prospectus supplement filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, that omits Rule 430 Information, and the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus, together with any prospectus supplement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers


pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

At or prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively with the pricing information set forth on Annex B, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”): a Preliminary Prospectus dated March 12, 2012, the pricing term sheet set forth on Annex C and each other “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex B hereto.

“Applicable Time” means 9:00 P.M., New York City time, on March 13, 2012.

2. Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters.

(a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Underwritten Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and each Underwriter, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Underwritten Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 97% of the principal amount thereof (the “Purchase Price”), plus accrued interest, if any, from March 13, 2012 to the Closing Date (as defined below).

In addition, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Option Securities to the several Underwriters as provided in this Agreement, and the Underwriters, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, shall have the option to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company the Option Securities at the Purchase Price plus accrued interest, if any, from March 13, 2012 to the Additional Closing Date (as defined below).

If any Option Securities are to be purchased, the number of Option Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the number of Option Securities which bears the same ratio to the aggregate number of Option Securities being purchased as the number of Underwritten Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto (or such number increased as set forth in Section 10 hereof) bears to the aggregate number of Underwritten Securities being purchased from the Company by the several Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments as you in your absolute discretion shall make to ensure that the Option Securities are not issued in minimum denominations of less than $1,000 or whole multiples thereof.

The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase the Option Securities at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of the Prospectus, by written notice from the Representative to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate principal amount of the Option Securities as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the Option Securities are to be delivered and paid for, which may be the same date and time as the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) but shall not be earlier than the Closing Date or later than the tenth full business day


(as hereinafter defined) after the date of such notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof). Any such notice shall be given at least three business days prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein.

(b) The Company understands that the Underwriters intend to make a public offering of the Securities as soon after the effectiveness of this Agreement as in the judgment of the Representative is advisable, and initially to offer the Securities on the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter.

(c) Payment for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company to the Representative in the case of the Underwritten Securities, at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 650 Town Center Drive 20th Floor, Costa Mesa, CA at 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on March 19, 2012, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing or, in the case of the Option Securities, on the date and at the time and place specified by the Representative in the written notice of the Underwriters’ election to purchase such Option Securities. The time and date of such payment for the Underwritten Securities is referred to herein as the “Closing Date,” and the time and date for such payment for the Option Securities, if other than the Closing Date, is herein referred to as the “Additional Closing Date.”

Payment for the Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be made against delivery to the Representative for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of one or more global notes representing the Securities (collectively, the “Global Note”) to be purchased on such date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of such Securities duly paid by the Company. Delivery of the Securities shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) unless the Representative shall otherwise instruct. The Global Note will be made available for inspection and packaging by the Representative at the office of DTC or its designated custodian not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be.

(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:

(a) Preliminary Prospectus. No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and each Preliminary Prospectus included in the Pricing Disclosure Package, at the time of filing thereof, complied in all material


respects with the Securities Act, and no Preliminary Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in any Preliminary Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof.

(b) Pricing Disclosure Package. The Pricing Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time did not, and as of the Closing Date and as of the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in such Pricing Disclosure Package, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof. No statement of material fact included in the Prospectus has been omitted from the Pricing Disclosure Package and no statement of material fact included in the Pricing Disclosure Package that is required to be included in the Prospectus has been omitted therefrom.

(c) Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. Other than the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Underwriters in their capacity as such) has not prepared, used, authorized, approved or referred to and will not prepare, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities (each such communication by the Company or its agents and representatives (other than a communication referred to in clause (i) below) an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) other than (i) any document not constituting a prospectus pursuant to Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Securities Act or Rule 134 under the Securities Act or (ii) the documents listed on Annex B hereto, each electronic road show and any other written communications approved in writing in advance by the Representative. Each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus complied in all material respects with the Securities Act, has been or will be (within the time period specified in Rule 433) filed in accordance with the Securities Act (to the extent required thereby) and, when taken together with the Preliminary Prospectus accompanying, or delivered prior to delivery of, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, did not, and as of the Closing Date and as of the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to any statements or omissions made in each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof. Each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Representatives as


described in Section 4(d), did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any Preliminary Prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.

(d) Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act that has been filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof; and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act has been received by the Company. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission, and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or related to the offering of the Securities has been initiated or threatened by the Commission; as of the applicable effective date of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, the Registration Statement and any such post-effective amendment complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Trust Indenture Act”), and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and as of the date of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and as of the Closing Date and as of the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company makes no representation and warranty (i) as to that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee or (ii) with respect to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 7(b) hereof.

(e) Incorporated Documents.

Nothing has come to the attention of the Company that has caused the Company to believe that the statistical and market-related data included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus is not based on or derived from sources that are reliable and accurate in all material respects.

(tt) Sarbanes-Oxley Act. There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with any provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

(uu) Status under the Securities Act. At the time of filing the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or any offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163, and (iii) at the date and time this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iii)), the Company was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405. The Company agrees to pay the fees required by the Commission relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).

(vv) Clinical Trials. The clinical and pre-clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of or sponsored by the Company or its subsidiaries, or in which the Company or its subsidiaries have participated, that are described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or the results of which are referred to in the Registration Statement, the Pricing


Disclosure Package and the Prospectus were and, if still pending, are being conducted in all material respects in accordance with standard medical and scientific research procedures and all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and policies of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and comparable drug regulatory agencies outside of the United States to which it is subject (collectively, the “Regulatory Authorities”), including, without limitation, 21 C.F.R. Parts 50, 54, 56, 58, and 312, and current Good Clinical Practices and Good Laboratory Practices; the descriptions in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus of the results of such studies and tests are accurate and complete in all material respects and fairly present the data derived from such trials and the Company has no knowledge of any other trials the results of which are inconsistent with or otherwise call into question the results described or referred to in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; the Company and its subsidiaries have operated and are currently in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and policies of the Regulatory Authorities; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have received any notices, correspondence or other communication from the Regulatory Authorities or any other governmental agency which could reasonably lead to the early termination or suspension of any ongoing clinical trials or pre-clinical studies that are described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or the results of which are referred to in the Registration Statement, Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no reasonable grounds for the same.

(ww) Compliance with Applicable Laws; Authorizations. The Company and its subsidiaries: (i) are and at all times have been in material compliance with all statutes, rules and regulations applicable to the ownership, testing, development, manufacture, packaging, processing, use, distribution, marketing, labeling, promotion, sale, offer for sale, storage, import, export or disposal of any product manufactured or distributed by the Company (“Applicable Laws”); (ii) have not received any FDA Form 483, notice of adverse finding, warning letter, untitled letter or other correspondence or notice from any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority or third party alleging or asserting material noncompliance with any Applicable Laws or any licenses, exemptions, certificates, approvals, clearances, authorizations, permits and supplements or amendments thereto required by any such Applicable Laws (“Authorizations”); (iii) possess all material Authorizations and such Authorizations are valid and in full force and effect and are not in violation of any term of any such Authorizations; (iv) have not received notice of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, hearing, enforcement, investigation, arbitration or other action from any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority or third party alleging that any product operation or activity is in violation of any Applicable Laws or Authorizations and have no knowledge that any such court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority or third party is considering any such claim, litigation, arbitration, action, suit, investigation or proceeding; (v) have not received notice that any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority has taken, is taking or intends to take action to materially limit, suspend, materially modify or revoke any Authorizations and have no knowledge that any such court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority is considering such action; and (vi) have filed, obtained, maintained or submitted all material reports, documents, forms, notices, applications, records, claims, submissions and supplements or amendments as required by any Applicable Laws or Authorizations and that all such reports, documents, forms, notices, applications, records, claims, submissions and supplements or amendments were complete and correct on the date filed in all material respects (or were corrected or supplemented by a subsequent submission).

(xx) XBRL. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.


(yy) No Ratings. There are no securities or preferred stock of or guaranteed by the Company or its subsidiaries that are rated by a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act.

As used herein, the term “Prospectus Delivery Period” means such period of time after the first date of the public offering of the Securities as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters a prospectus relating to the Securities is required by law to be delivered (or required to be delivered but for Rule 172 under the Securities Act) in connection with sales of the Securities by any Underwriter or dealer.

(c) Amendments or Supplements, Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Before preparing, using, authorizing, approving, referring to or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company will furnish to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement for review and will not prepare, use, authorize, approve, refer to or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representative reasonably objects.

The Company will advise the Representative promptly, and confirm such advice in writing, (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective; (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus has been filed; (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or any other request by the Commission for any additional


information; (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (v) of the occurrence of any event within the Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; and (vi) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any of the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Securities and, if any such order is issued, will obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(e) Ongoing Compliance. (1) If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representative may designate such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law and (2) if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Pricing Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representative may designate such amendments or supplements to the Pricing Disclosure Package as may be necessary so that the statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Pricing Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Pricing Disclosure Package will comply with law.

(f) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for distribution of the Securities; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

(h) Clear Market. For a period of 90 days after the date of the Prospectus, the Company will not (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Representative, other than the Securities to be sold hereunder, any shares of Stock of the Company issued upon the exercise of options granted under Company Stock Plans, the grant of options or other awards under the Company Stock Plans or the issuance of shares upon exercise of outstanding warrants described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the 90-day restricted period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 90-day restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 90-day period, the restrictions imposed by this Agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.

(i) Use of Proceeds. The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds”.

(j) No Stabilization. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Stock.

(l) Common Stock Reserve. The Company will reserve and keep available at all times, free of pre-emptive rights, shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy all obligations to issue the Underlying Securities upon conversion of the Securities. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Underlying Securities to be listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market.

(m) Conversion Price. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date as the case may be, the Company will not do or authorize any act or thing that would result in an adjustment of the conversion price.

(n) Reports. So long as the Securities are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Representative, as soon as they are available, copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other) furnished to holders of the Securities, and copies of any reports required to be


filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act and financial statements included or incorporate by reference therein; provided the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports and financial statements to the Representative to the extent they are filed on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system.

(o) Record Retention. The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

(a) It has not used, authorized use of, referred to or participated in the planning for use of, and will not use, authorize use of, refer to or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Company and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Company) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that contains no “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) that was not included (including through incorporation by reference) in the Preliminary Prospectus or a previously filed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex B or prepared pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 4(c) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such underwriter and approved by the Company in advance in writing (each such free writing prospectus referred to in clauses (i) or (iii), an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”).

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers, agents and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, (ii) or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Pricing Disclosure Package, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration


Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Pricing Disclosure Package. The Company acknowledges that (i) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities and (ii) the paragraphs related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids, all under the heading “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers, agents and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days


after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could reasonably have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.


8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of the Option Securities, prior to the Additional Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

10. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on such date, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the number of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase on such date) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date


or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement or, with respect to any Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase Securities on the Additional Closing Date shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (iv) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities under the state or foreign securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (v) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (vii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, FINRA; (viii) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors; and (ix) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the Underlying Securities on the Nasdaq Global Market.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters.

Annex A

Form of Company Counsel Opinion and 10b-5 Statement

1. The Company and its subsidiaries set forth on Exhibit B (the “Subsidiaries”) have been duly incorporated and are validly existing as corporations in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with requisite corporate power to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate their properties and conduct their respective businesses as described in the Prospectus.

2. The Company and the Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business as foreign corporations and are in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

3. The authorized capital stock of the Company was as set forth in the Prospectus and in the Pricing Disclosure Package under the caption “Description of Capital Stock” in each case as of the respective dates stated therein.

4. The Conversion Shares have been duly authorized and are validly reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Offered Securities; such Conversion Shares, when so issued and delivered upon such conversion in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Offered Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

5. The holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are not entitled to preemptive rights under the Company’s charter or bylaws, or, to our knowledge, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for the Offered Securities. Except as set forth in the sections captioned “Description of Capital Stock—Stockholder Rights Plan” and “Description of Capital Stock—Warrants” in the Prospectus as of the date stated therein and pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan as described in the Prospectus, to our knowledge, as of such date, there were no options, warrants or other rights to purchase or acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company.

6. To our knowledge, there is (i) no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or other governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator pending or overtly threatened against the Company or its properties by a third party of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that is not disclosed in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus as required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and (ii) no indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan or other agreement or instrument of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, which is not filed as required by the Act and the rules thereunder.

7. The statements in the Prospectus under the headings “Description of Capital Stock” and “Description of the Notes,” and in the Registration Statement in Item 15, insofar as such statements purport to summarize the terms of the Offered Securities, the Conversion Shares, legal matters, agreements or documents discussed therein, fairly present, to the extent required by the Act and the rules thereunder, in all material respects, such terms of the Offered Securities, the Conversion Shares, legal matters, agreements or documents. The statements in the Prospectus under the heading “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” to the extent that they constitute matters of U.S. federal income tax laws and legal conclusions with respect thereto, subject to the limitations and qualifications described therein, are accurate in all material respects.

8. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or overtly threatened. Any required filing of the Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b).


9. The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and notes thereto or other financial or statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the rules thereunder.

10. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

11. The Company is not, and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Offered Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, will not be required to register as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act.

12. No consent, approval, authorization or filing with or order of any U.S. Federal or Delaware (with respect to the Delaware General Corporation Law) court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company is required for the issue, sale and performance as of the date hereof by the Company of the Offered Securities or the execution and performance as of the date hereof by the Company of the Indenture, except such as have been obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and except such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement and in the Prospectus, or under the bylaws, rules and regulations of FINRA.

13. The issuance and sale of the Offered Securities on the date hereof, the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Offered Securities and the execution, delivery and performance as of the date hereof of the Operative Documents will not result in (i) a violation of the charter or bylaws of the Company, (ii) a material breach of or default under the terms of any Material Contract; or (iii) to our knowledge, a violation of any statute, law, rule, or regulation which, in our experience is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and is applicable to the Company, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, or award that has been entered against the Company and of which we are aware, in the case of clause (ii) and (iii) the breach or violation of which would materially and adversely affect the Company.

14. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the Prospectus, no holders of securities of the Company have rights to require the registration under the Act of resales of such securities.

15. The Rights have been duly authorized by the Company and the Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock has been duly authorized by the Company and validly reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Rights and, when issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

16. The Offered Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming authentication thereof by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivery thereof in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Offered Securities will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.


17. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

18. The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

****

Such counsel shall also state that, in the course of acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation by the Company of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, such counsel reviewed the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and participated in conferences and telephone conversations with officers and other representatives of the Company, the independent public accountants for the Company, the representatives of the Underwriters, and representatives of Banner & Witcoff, Ltd., during which conferences and conversations the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and although such counsel assumes no responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (except to the extent expressly set forth in numbered paragraphs 3, 7 and 9 of such counsel’s opinion letter), no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that:

(i) The Registration Statement (except as to the financial statements and schedules, related notes and other financial data and statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no comment), at the time that the Registration Statement became effective on March 13, 2012, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(ii) The Pricing Disclosure Package (except as to the financial statements and schedules, related notes and other financial and statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no comment) as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary, in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

(iii) The Prospectus (except as to the financial statements and schedules, related notes and other financial and statistical data derived therefrom, as to which we express no comment) as of its date or dates as amended or supplemented, as applicable, and as of the date hereof contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary, in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case if the stock price is:

between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register (as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date.

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities and any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the first day of the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.

Section 2.04 Execution and Authentications.

The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by one of its Officers. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature.

The Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been an Officer (at the time of execution), notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be such an officer of the Company. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by an Officer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

Upon the Company’s delivery of any such authentication order to the Trustee at any time after the initial issuance of Securities under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, (1) an Opinion of Counsel or reliance letter and (2) an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the execution, authentication and delivery of such Securities are in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

10.


Section 2.05 Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Securities of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company in the continental United States of America designated for such purpose, for other Securities of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept at its office or agency in the continental United States of America designated for such purpose a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”).

Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount.

All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.

(c) Except as provided pursuant to Section 2.01 pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental to this Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial redemption of any series or repurchase, conversion or exchange of less than the entire principal amount of a Security, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.

(d) The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption or surrendered for repurchase, but not validly withdrawn, other than the unredeemed portion of any such Securities being redeemed in part or not surrendered for repurchase, as the case may be. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.

 

11.


The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.06 Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company in the continental United States of America designated for the purpose, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.

In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

 

12.


In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.08 Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase, exchange, registration of transfer or conversion or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent (or any other applicable agent), be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09 Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities.

 

13.


Section 2.10 Authenticating Agent.

So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption, repurchase or conversion thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

Section 2.11 Global Securities.

(a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction (or if the Depositary names the Trustee as its custodian, retained by the Trustee) and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.”

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.05, only to another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

 

14.


(c) If at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company has received a request from the Depositary or from the Trustee, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and, subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS

Section 3.01 Redemption.

The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

Section 3.02 Notice of Redemption.

(a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with any right the Company reserved for itself to do so pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid (or with regard to any Global Security held in book entry form, by electronic mail), a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register, unless a shorter period is specified in

 

15.


the Securities to be redeemed; provided, that if the Company intends to cause the Trustee to give such notice, the Company delivers to the Trustee, at least 5 days (unless a shorter time should be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company in the continental United States of America, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that the redemption is from a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed.

In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

(b) The Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by an Officer, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section.

 

16.


Section 3.03 Payment Upon Redemption.

(a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an Interest Payment Date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).

(b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

Section 3.04 Sinking Fund.

The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

Section 3.05 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

 

17.


Section 3.06 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officer’s Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03.

ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS

Section 4.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any), interest on, and any redemption price or repurchase price for the Securities of that series at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Securities. Payments of the principal of, redemption price for or repurchase price for, the Securities may be made at the time provided herein and established with respect to such Securities by U.S. dollar check drawn on and mailed to the address of the Securityholder entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or U.S. dollar wire transfer to, a U.S. dollar account if such Securityholder shall have furnished wire instructions to the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date. Payments of interest on the Securities may be made at the time provided herein and established with respect to such Securities by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the Securityholder entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or U.S. dollar wire transfer to, a U.S. dollar account if such Securityholder shall have furnished wire instructions in writing to the Security Registrar and the Trustee no later than 15 days prior to the relevant payment date.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

So long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency in the continental United States of America with respect to each such series and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of that series may be presented for payment, (ii) Securities of that series may be presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series

 

18.


and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by any officer authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as its paying agent with respect to the Securities.

Section 4.03 Paying Agents.

(a) If the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section:

(1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;

(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Securities) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and payable;

(3) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and

(4) that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.

 

19.


(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by the Company or any paying agent to the Trustee, the Company or such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Section 4.04 Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 4.05 Compliance with Consolidation Provisions.

The Company will not, while any of the Securities remain Outstanding, consolidate with or merge into any other Person, in either case where the Company is not the survivor of such transaction, or sell or convey all or substantially all of its property to any other Person unless the provisions of Article Ten hereof are complied with.

SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE

Section 5.01 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Securityholders.

The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee (a) within 15 days after each regular record date (as defined in Section 2.03) a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the holders of each series of Securities as of such regular record date, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to furnish or cause to furnish such list at any time that the list shall not differ in any respect from the most recent list furnished to the Trustee by the Company and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that, in either case, no such list need be furnished for any series for which the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar.

Section 5.02 Preservation Of Information; Communications With Securityholders.

(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Securities contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 and as to the names and addresses of holders of Securities received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar (if acting in such capacity).

 

20.


(b) The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

(c) Securityholders may communicate as provided in Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities, and, in connection with any such communications, the Trustee shall satisfy its obligations under Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the provisions of Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 5.03 Reports by the Company.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees to provide (which delivery may be via electronic mail) to the Trustee within 30 days, after the Company files the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee any correspondence filed with the SEC or any materials for which the Company has sought and received confidential treatment by the Commission; and provided further, that so long as such filings by the Company are available on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR), or any successor system, such filings shall be deemed to have been filed with the Trustee for purposes hereof without any further action required by the Company; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether such filing has occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Company to file annual reports, information and other reports with the SEC within the time period prescribed thereof by the Commission shall not be deemed a breach of this Section 5.03.

(b) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 5.03 is for informational purposes only and the information and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein including the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants thereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).

Section 5.04 Reports by the Trustee.

(a) If required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee, within sixty (60) days after each March 15, commencing March 15, 2013, shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register, a brief report dated as of such March 15, which complies with Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

The Company agrees to notify the Trustee when any Securities become listed on any securities exchange.

ARTICLE 6

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

Section 6.01 Events of Default.

(a) Whenever used herein with respect to Securities of a particular series, “Event of Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is continuing:

(1) the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;

(2) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;

(3) the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding;

(4) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

 

22.


(5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of its property or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

(b) In each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above), unless the principal of all the Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above occurs, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the Securities.

(c) At any time after the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on Securities of that series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06.

No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

 

23.


Section 6.02 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

(a) The Company covenants that (i) in case it shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 90 days, or (ii) in case it shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06.

(b) If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law or equity out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series, wherever situated.

(c) In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06.

(d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be

 

24.


brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series.

In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.03 Application of Moneys Collected.

Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of that series, and notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of reasonable costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 6.04 Limitation on Suits.

No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have

 

25.


made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; (iv) the Trustee for 90 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and (v) during such 90 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary or any other provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 6.05 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities.

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

Section 6.06 Control by Securityholders.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,

 

26.


or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or subject the Trustee in its sole discretion to personal liability. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed, subject to the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Indenture Act, would involve the Trustee in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the Securityholders not involved in the proceeding. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.07 Undertaking to Pay Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

27.


that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

(b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred:

(A) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iv) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.

 

28.


Section 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

(a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company by any authorized officer of the Company (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);

(c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the opinion or written advice of such counsel or, if requested, any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Securities (that has not been cured or waived), to exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs;

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the particular series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand;

 

29.


(g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and

(j) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. If the party elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its sole discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

(k) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default other than an Event of Default relating to the failure to pay the interest on, or the principal of, the Securities, until the Trustee shall have received written notification in the manner set forth in this Indenture or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have obtained actual knowledge.

 

30.

(a) The recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

(b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.

(c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee.

Section 7.04 May Hold Securities.

The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.

Section 7.05 Moneys Held in Trust.

Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree to in writing with the Company to pay thereon.

Section 7.06 Compensation and Reimbursement.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or willful misconduct and except as the Company and Trustee may from time to time agree in writing. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.

 

31.


(b) The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities.

(c) To ensure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all funds or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5), the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for services in connection therewith are to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any one of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed

 

33.


and one copy to the successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the Company.

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (ii) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such

 

34.


Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.

(c) Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

(d) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

(e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register.

In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

 

35.

ARTICLE 8

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

Section 8.01 Evidence of Action by Securityholders.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.

If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

 

36.


Section 8.02 Proof of Execution by Securityholders.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

(b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.

The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.

Section 8.03 Who May be Deemed Owners.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Security Registrar as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 8.04 Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded.

In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

 

37.


Section 8.05 Actions Binding on Future Securityholders.

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of that series.

Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for each Note surrendered for purchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time shall be made promptly following the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions to the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in this Section 4.01), and (y) 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 this Section 4.01 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

 

18


Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent) shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

(e) If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to purchase on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then on and after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (i) such Notes shall cease to be Outstanding and Interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Notes, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made and whether or not the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent and (ii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate, other than (A) the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery or transfer of the Notes, and (B) if the Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date the right of the Holder on such Record Date to receive the Interest payable on such Interest Payment Date.

(f) In connection with any purchase of Notes pursuant to this Article 4, the Company shall:

(i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act to the extent any such rules are applicable;

(ii) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required, under the Exchange Act; and

(iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to purchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Notes may be purchased by the Company at the option of 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 the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from the Company’s default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes).

ARTICLE 5

CONVERSION

Section 5.01. Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate. (a) Subject to the conditions and during the periods described in subsections (a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (b), (c) and (d) below, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 5, a Holder shall have the right to surrender for conversion all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of its Note at any time until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Free Convertibility Date. On and after the Free Convertibility Date and until the close of business on the second Business Day immediately prior

 

19


to the Stated Maturity Date, a Holder shall have the right to surrender all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of its Note for conversion, regardless of whether any of the conditions described in subsections (a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (b), (c) and (d) below have been satisfied, upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 5.

(i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Free Convertibility Date, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion during any calendar quarter commencing after the quarter ending June 30, 2012 if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect on each applicable Trading Day.

(ii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Free Convertibility Date, the Trading Price per $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes on each Trading Day during any five consecutive Trading Day period is less than 98% of (x) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day multiplied by (y) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day, a Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion at any time during the following five consecutive Trading Days (the “Trading Price Condition”).

The Bid Solicitation Agent shall, on behalf of the Company, determine if the Notes are convertible pursuant to this Section 5.01(a)(ii) and shall notify the Company and the Trustee accordingly; provided that the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in writing, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the Company and the Trustee with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price of the Notes on any Trading Day would be less than 98% of the product of the then-current Conversion Rate multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on that date. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on such Trading Day and on each of the next four Trading Days. If (x) the Company does not, when it is required to do so, instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain Qualifying Bids, or if the Company gives such instruction to the Bid Solicitation Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination (including, for the avoidance of doubt, because the Bid Solicitation Agent cannot reasonably obtain at least one Qualifying Bid), or (y) if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent and the Company fails to make such determination, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for each Trading Day on which such failure occurs.

If the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) within two

 

20


Business Days. If, at any time after the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for such Trading Day, the Company shall promptly so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee).

(iii) The Notes shall be convertible prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Free Convertibility Date under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 5.01.

(iv) If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption pursuant to Article 6, Holders of the Notes shall have the right to convert their Notes at any time until the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the related Redemption Date, after which time Holders shall no longer have the right to convert their Notes on account of the Company’s delivery of the related Redemption Notice unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price.

(b) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Free Convertibility Date, the Company elects to issue or distribute, as the case may be, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock:

(i) rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase, for a period expiring within 60 days after the record date for such issuance, Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Closing Sale Price on the declaration date for such issuance; or

(ii) cash, debt securities (or other evidence of indebtedness) or other assets or securities (excluding dividends or distributions described in Section 5.06(a)), which distribution has a per share value, as determined by the Board of Directors exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution,

then, in either case, the Company shall notify Holders at least 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date and the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place.

(c) If a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Adjustment Event occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Free Convertibility Date, a Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion at any time from and after the effective date of such transaction or event until the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date or, if there is no such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the 30th Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the effective date of such transaction or event.

 

21


(d) If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange or a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of its property and assets that does not also constitute a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Adjustment Event, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, a Holder shall have the right to surrender its Notes for conversion at any time beginning on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company gives notice or makes a public announcement of such transaction and (ii) the effective date of such transaction, and ending on the 20th Scheduled Trading Day following the effective date of such transaction. To the extent practicable, the Company shall notify Holders at least 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, and in no event later than the actual effective date.

Section 5.02. Conversion Rate Adjustment Upon Certain Make-Whole Adjustment Events. (a) If a Holder elects to convert its Note at any time from, and including, the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event to, and including, the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date, or if a Make-Whole Adjustment Event does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, the 30th Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event, the Conversion Rate shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) determined pursuant to subsection (b) below. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the anticipated Effective Date of any event that, if consummated, would constitute a Make-Whole Adjustment Event, and issue a press release containing the information in such notice, as soon as practicable following the first public announcement of such potential Make-Whole Adjustment Event.

(b) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased for conversions in connection with a Make-Whole Adjustment Event as set forth in clause (a) above shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Adjustment Event occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the Stock Price. The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth in the table attached as Schedule A hereto, in which case if the Stock Price is:

(i) between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts or the earlier and later Effective Dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable;

(ii) in excess of $200.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices pursuant to subsection (c) below), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and

(iii) less than $71.41 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices pursuant to subsection (c) below), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

 

22


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not increase the Conversion Rate to more than 14.0036 shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes pursuant to the events described in this Section 5.02; provided the Company shall adjust the Maximum Conversion Rate upon the occurrence of any event for which, and in the same manner in which, it must adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.06.

(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto (i.e., the column headers) and the number of Additional Shares in the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted as set forth in Section 5.06. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The numbers of Additional Shares within the table attached as Schedule A hereto shall each be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 5.06.

Section 5.03. Exercise of Conversion Privilege. (a) Before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Security, transfer such Note to the Conversion Agent through the facilities of the Depositary and comply with the applicable conversion 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 5.04(d) and, if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any, as set forth in Section 5.09 and (ii) in the case of a Physical Security, (A) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Conversion Agent in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Conversion Notice”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock, if any, to be delivered upon settlement of the conversion obligation to be registered, (B) surrender such Note, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (C) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, as set forth in Section 5.09 and (D) if required, pay funds equal to Interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 5.04(d). The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax on the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, unless the tax is due because the holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name, in which case the holder shall pay the tax. A Note shall be deemed to have been converted on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.03.

If the Holder of a Note has submitted such Note for purchase upon a Fundamental Change, such Holder may only convert such Note if it withdraw its Fundamental Change Purchase Notice prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time, in accordance with Section 4.01(c).

 

23


(b) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.

Section 5.04. Settlement of Conversion Obligation. (a) Upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to converting Holders, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, either (1) cash, (2) shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5.05 or (3) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at its election, as set forth in this Section 5.04.

(i) All conversions on or after the Final Settlement Method Election Date shall be settled with the same Settlement Method specified or deemed specified by the Company hereunder. If the Company has not delivered to the Trustee and all Holders a notice of its election of Settlement Method on or prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, the Company shall, with respect to any conversions on or after the Final Settlement Method Election Date, be deemed to have elected to satisfy its conversion obligation in a combination of cash and shares of Common stock, if any, with a Specified Dollar Amount of $1,000 (except that, with respect to any conversion during a Redemption Period, the Settlement Method shall be as set forth in the relevant Redemption Notice).

(ii) For all conversions prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on any given Conversion Date. The Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions during any Redemption Period. Except for any conversions that occur on or after the Final Settlement Method Election Date or during a Redemption Period, the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Conversion Dates, unless the Company has made the Irrevocable Election pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(iii). If the Company elects a particular Settlement Method in connection with any conversion prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, unless the Company has made the Irrevocable Election pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(iii) or the Conversion Date occurs during a Redemption Period, the Company shall inform Holders so converting through the Trustee of the Settlement Method the Company has selected (including the Specified Dollar Amount, if applicable), no later than the second Trading Day immediately following the related Conversion Date. If the Company does not timely make such an election, or if the Company does not timely elect a Settlement Method or Specified Dollar Amount (if applicable) for conversions during any Redemption Period, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to satisfy its conversion obligation through the payment or delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, with a Specified Dollar Amount of $1,000. If the Company elects to pay or deliver, as the case may be, a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, in respect of its

 

24


conversion obligation, but the Company does not timely notify converting Holders of the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, such Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be equal to $1,000.

(iii) Prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, the Company may, by notice to Holders, at its option irrevocably elect to satisfy its conversion obligation in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, with a Specified Dollar Amount of $1,000, for all conversions with a Conversion Date subsequent to the Company’s delivery of such notice (any such election, an “Irrevocable Election”).

(iv) The amount of cash, if any, and the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Company is required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

(A) if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation by delivering shares of Common Stock (plus cash in lieu of any fractional share), the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of shares of Common stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date;

(B) if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation solely by paying cash, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Conversion Period; and

(C) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver to Holders, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, an amount of cash and shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Conversion Period.

(v) The consideration due upon conversion of the Notes shall be paid or delivered, as the case may be, through the Conversion Agent. Such payment or delivery, as the case may be, shall be made (A) three Business Days after the Conversion Date in the case where the Company’s Conversion Obligation consists solely of shares of Common Stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share) or (B) three Business Days after the last day of the Conversion Period (in the case of any other Settlement Method); provided, however, that, if as of any Conversion Date occurring prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date, the Common Stock has been replaced by Reference Property consisting solely of cash pursuant to Section 5.12, the Company shall pay the conversion consideration due in respect of conversion on the third Trading Day immediately following the related Conversion Date, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Conversion Period shall apply to those conversions.

 

25


(b) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be treated as the Holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the Conversion Date (in the case of a Conversion Obligation that consists solely of shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share)) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Period (in any other case).

(c) Any cash amounts due upon conversion by a Holder of Notes surrendered for conversion shall be paid by the Company to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees. In addition, the Company shall issue, or shall cause to be issued, any shares of Common Stock due upon conversion to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares).

(d) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any additional cash payment for accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, except as set forth in this clause (d), and the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for accrued and unpaid Interest. Except as set forth in this clause (d), the Company’s settlement of the conversion of a Note pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of such Note and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. Upon conversion of a Note into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid Interest shall be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Note is converted after the close of business on a Record Date, the Holder of such Note at the close of business on such Record Date shall receive the Interest payable on such Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion. A Note surrendered for conversion after the close of business on any Record Date but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the Interest that will be payable on such Interest Payment Date on the Note so converted; provided, however, that no such payment need be made:

(i) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date;

(ii) with respect to any Note surrendered for conversion following the Record Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity Date; or

(iii) only to the extent of any overdue Interest, if any overdue Interest remains unpaid at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.

Section 5.05. Fractions of Shares. The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation solely in shares of Common Stock) or based on the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Period (in the case of any other Settlement Method). For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected to satisfy its conversion obligation

 

26


in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the applicable Conversion Period and any fractional share remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash. In addition, if more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered.

Section 5.06. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of Common Stock, or if the Company subdivides or combines the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be;

OS0 = the number of shares Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be; and

OS = the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination described in this subsection (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such subdivision or combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or such subdivision or combination had not been announced.

 

27


(b) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock of any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the record date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution.

Any increase made under this subsection (b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.

For purposes of this subsection (b) and for purposes of Section 5.01(b)(i), in determining the aggregate price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration if other than cash to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

28


(c) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution (the “Relevant Distribution”) of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness of the Company or other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(i) dividends or distributions and rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 5.06(a) or Section 5.06(b);

(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash;

(iii) Spin-Offs;

(iv) except as set forth in Section 5.15, rights issued pursuant to any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company; and

(v) any distribution pursuant to a Share Exchange Transaction of cash, securities or other property constituting Reference Property,

then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property or rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the above portion of this subsection (c) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate;

 

29


provided that if such distribution is not so paid or made, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, 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 “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of the Relevant Distribution that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned on the relevant record date a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this subsection (c) where there has been an Ex-Dividend Date for a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”) the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off;

FMV = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Closing Sale Price set forth in Section 1.02 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first five consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and

MP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this subsection (c) shall be determined on the last day of the Valuation Period but shall be given effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. If the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off is less than five Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Conversion Period in respect of any conversion, references within this subsection (c) to five Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of such conversion, with such

lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Conversion Period. In respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period for any Spin-Off, references within this subsection (c) related to five Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date.

Rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this subsection (c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this subsection (c) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this subsection (c). Subject to Section 5.15, if any such rights, options or warrants are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). Subject to Section 5.15, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this subsection (c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of this subsection (c) and subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.06, any dividend or distribution to which this subsection (c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock to which subsection (a) of this Section 5.06 applies or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which subsection (b) of this Section 5.06 applies, shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property, other than such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants, to which this subsection (c) applies (and any

 

31


Conversion Rate adjustment required by this subsection (c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5.06 with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution shall under this subsection (c) be substituted as “the Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of subsection (a) and subsection (b) of this Section 5.06 and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be” within the meaning of subsection (a) of this Section 5.06 or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution” within the meaning of subsection (b) of this Section 5.06.

(d) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a cash dividend or distribution to all, or substantially all, holders of outstanding Common Stock (other than any dividend or distribution in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

SP0 = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

C = the amount in cash per share the Company pays or distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock.

 

32


Any increase made under this subsection (d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate; provided that if any dividend or distribution described in this subsection (d) is declared but not so paid or made, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned on the relevant record date a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer (other than an odd lot tender offer) for Common Stock and, if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock 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 “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;

CR = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer);

OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and

 

33


SP = the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this subsection (e) shall be made immediately after the close of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this subsection (e) but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in an decrease of the Conversion Rate.

(f) In addition to those adjustments required by subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 5.06, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market or any other securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed, the Company in its sole discretion from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days so long as such increase is irrevocable during such period and the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In connection with an increase in the Conversion Rate pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at its address set forth on the register maintained by the Security Registrar pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Original Indenture 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. In addition, the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or similar events.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (a) through (e) above, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described above, and a Holder that has converted its Note on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date pursuant to Section 5.04(b) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the foregoing Conversion Rate adjustment provisions, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock such Holder is entitled to receive upon conversion on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(h) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.06 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate; provided that the Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate and make such carried forward adjustments (1) when the cumulative net effect of all adjustments not yet made will

 

34


result in a change of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate or (2) regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) upon any required purchases of the notes pursuant to Article 4 in connection with a Fundamental Change, (ii) on each of the Trading Days within any Conversion Period and (iii) upon any conversion of Notes.

(i) For purposes of this Section 5.06, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(j) Whenever any provision of the Indenture requires the Company to calculate Closing Sale Prices, Daily VWAPs, Daily Conversion Values, Daily Settlement Amounts or the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to any such variable and/or, if applicable, the amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion 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, Expiration Date or effective date of the event occurs, at any time during the period for which such Closing Sale Prices, Daily VWAPs, Daily Conversion Values, Daily Settlement Amounts or the Stock Price is to be calculated.

(k) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made for a given transaction if each Holder of a Note will be entitled to participate in such transaction, without conversion of such Note, on the same terms and at the same time as the holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the principal amount of such Holder’s Note divided by $1,000 and multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Rate would be entitled to participate.

Section 5.07. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance herewith and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer or Controller of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and describing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), and the Company shall issue a press release containing the relevant information (and make the press release available on its website). Failure to deliver any such certificate or notice shall not affect the validity of such adjustment.

Section 5.08. Company To Reserve Common Stock. The Company shall at all times and from time to time reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock that is not committed for any other purpose, for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the Maximum Conversion Rate and (b) the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes divided by $1,000.

Section 5.09. Taxes on Conversions. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance of shares of

 

35


Common Stock upon any conversion of Notes hereunder; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that is due because the converting Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name, and no such issuance shall be made unless and until the Holder has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

Section 5.10. Certain Covenants. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Rate below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Company shall take all corporate action that it reasonably determines is necessary to ensure that the Company may validly and legally issue a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Conversion Rate (giving effect to such prospective adjustment), and that such shares would be considered fully paid under applicable law.

Section 5.11. Cancellation of Converted Notes. All Notes delivered to the Conversion Agent for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent and canceled by the Trustee as provided in Section 2.08 of the Original Indenture.

Section 5.12. Provision in Case of Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (a) In the event of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock);

(ii) a consolidation, merger, combination or binding share exchange involving the Company; or

(iii) a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition to another Person of the Company’s property and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety,

in each case, in which holders of outstanding Common Stock are entitled to receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of Common Stock (“Reference Property” and any such transaction or event, a “Share Exchange Transaction”), then the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted hereby providing that Holders of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be entitled thereafter to convert their Notes into the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such transaction; provided that at and after the effective time of any such transaction, (i) the Company will continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes pursuant to Section 5.04(a), (ii) any amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(iv) will continue to be payable in cash, (iii) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.04(a)(iv) shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number

 

36


of shares of Common Stock would have received in such transaction and (iv) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such transaction. If the Notes become convertible into Reference Property pursuant to this Section 5.12 or such a supplemental indenture, the Company shall notify the Trustee and issue a press release containing the relevant information and make such press release available on the Company’s website.

For purposes of this Section 5.12, the type and amount of consideration that holders of Common Stock are entitled to in the case of reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, combinations, binding share exchanges, sales or transfers of assets or other transactions that cause Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration because the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the type of consideration they receive shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. If the Holders receive only cash in any Share Exchange Transaction, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Share Exchange Transaction and prior to the Final Settlement Method Election Date (i) 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 relevant Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Share Exchange Transaction and (ii) the Company shall satisfy its conversion obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Transaction unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.12.

(b) The above provisions of this Section 5.12 shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Transactions.

Section 5.13. Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent, subject to the provisions of Article 7 of the Original Indenture, shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes or to the Company to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent, subject to the provisions of Article 7 of the Original Indenture, shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee and any Conversion Agent, subject to the provisions of Article 7 of the Original Indenture, shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article 5.

 

37


Section 5.14. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of:

(a) any action by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 5.06 or 5.15;

(b) any Share Exchange Transaction;

(c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(d) any Merger Transaction;

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of the Indenture excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 5.07), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and to be mailed to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing on the list of Holders provided for in Section 5.01 of the Original Indenture, as promptly as practicable but in any event at least ten days prior to the applicable date specified in clause (x) or (y) below, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or its Subsidiary or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or its Subsidiary, or (y) the date on which such Share Exchange Transaction, Merger Transaction, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and, if applicable, the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Share Exchange Transaction, Merger Transaction, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the operation of any provision herein consequent on such event.

Section 5.15. Stockholder Rights Plan. To the extent that the Company’s Rights Agreement, dated December 4, 2006, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or any other stockholder rights agreement (i.e., a poison pill), is in effect upon conversion of the Notes, converting Holders of the Notes shall receive, in addition to any Common Stock received in connection with such conversion, the rights under such rights plan, unless prior to such conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property, pursuant to Section 5.06(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

ARTICLE 6

REDEMPTION

Section 6.01. Original Indenture. This Article 6 supersedes Article 3 of the Original Indenture in its entirety, and any reference in the Original Indenture to such Article 3 or any provision therein shall be deemed to refer to this Article 6 or the corresponding provision herein (if any), as the case may be.

 

38


Section 6.02. Redemption. The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to April 6, 2015, and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes. On or after April 6, 2015, the Company may redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) any or all of the Notes, except for any Notes that the Company is required to purchase pursuant to Article 4, in cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”) (unless the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date, in which case Interest accrued to the Interest Payment Date shall be paid to Holders of record of such Notes on such Record Date, and the Redemption Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed); provided that the Notes shall only be redeemable pursuant to this Article 6 if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for 20 or more Trading Days in a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of the Redemption Notice exceeds 130% of the applicable Conversion Price in effect on each such Trading Day.

Section 6.03. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes.

(a) In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.02, (i) the Company shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”), (ii) the Company shall mail a notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not more than 60 calendar days nor less than 35 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and each Holder of Notes to be so redeemed as a whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the register maintained by the Security Registrar pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Original Indenture; and (iii) if fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed, (A) the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed, in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples of $1,000, by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers reasonable, fair and appropriate in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary and (B) the Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption.

(b) Each Redemption Notice shall specify:

(i) the Redemption Date (which must be a Business Day);

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Note, and that Interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

(iv) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

 

39


(v) that Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 5;

(vi) the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes, the time at which the right of Holders to convert their Notes on account of the Company’s delivery of a Redemption Notice shall expire pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(iv), and the Settlement Method (and, if applicable, the Specified Dollar Amount) that shall apply to any such conversions;

(vii) the Conversion Rate then in effect and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 5.02;

(viii) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and

(ix) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the Redemption Notice to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 5 days (unless a shorter time should be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the notice date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice.

(c) If a portion of any Note is selected for redemption and the Holder thereof converts a portion of such Note, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed to be the portion selected for redemption to the extent that the converted portion does not exceed the portion selected for redemption.

Section 6.04. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption.

(a) If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 6.03, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Place of Payment and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the Place of Payment, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price. In the case of any redemption in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note so surrendered.

(b) Prior to the open of business on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold

 

40


in trust an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for any Note to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Note or, if later, at the time of presentation of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 6.04. Commencing on the Redemption Date, if the Company has deposited, or has segregated and is holding in trust, such funds, the Notes to be redeemed shall cease to accrue Interest. The Paying Agent shall, promptly following such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.

Section 6.05. Restrictions on Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may not redeem any Notes if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).

Section 7.03. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.02(i) or Section 7.02(j) with respect to the Company, occurs and is continuing, then in every such case either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued unpaid Interest on, the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal and Interest shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.02(i) or Section 7.02(j) occurs with respect to the Company, the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, on, all of the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act of the Holders or any act on the part of the Trustee.

At any time after such an acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration (other than with respect to an Event of Default under Sections 7.02(a) (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the Redemption Price)) if:

(i) such rescission and annulment will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal amount on Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.06.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and not withstanding the remedies afforded to Holders upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default as set forth in Article 6 of the Original Indenture, at the election of the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to (i) the failure by the Company to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or (ii) the failure by the Company to comply with its reporting obligations to the Trustee and the SEC, under Section 9.01 hereof, shall, for the 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes (“Additional Interest”). For the first 180 days during which such Event of Default is continuing, Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding. If such Event of Default is still continuing on the 181st day after it first occurred, such Additional Interest shall accrue during the next 185 days during which such Event of Default is continuing at a rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes then Outstanding. Any such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated Interest payable on the Notes. If such Event of Default is continuing on the 366th day after such Event of Default first occurred, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.03 as provided above. This paragraph and the

 

43


two immediately succeeding paragraphs shall not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 7.03.

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations set forth in Section 9.01 in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify in writing all Holders of record of Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date on which such Event of Default would otherwise occur. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice or pay Additional Interest, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 7.03.

If Additional Interest is payable under this Section 7.03, the Company shall deliver to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office a certificate to that effect stating that Additional Interest is payable and the date upon which such Additional Interest shall begin to accrue. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that Additional Interest is not payable. If Additional Interest has been paid by the Company directly to the persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

Payments of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, Redemption Price, principal and Interest that are not made when due shall accrue Interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate.

Section 7.04. Limitation on Suits. The limitation on the right of Holders to institute a proceeding under the Indenture or seek other remedies as set forth in the first paragraph of Section 6.04 of the Original Indenture shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of Notes upon a default by the Company in the payment of principal or Interest on the Notes or a failure by the Company to pay or deliver the consideration due upon conversion of any Note, in either case, when due.

Section 7.05. Unconditional Right of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal amount, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or accrued and unpaid Interest in respect of the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes or any Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as applicable, and to convert the Notes in accordance with Article 5, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder.

Section 7.06. Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default. Subject to Section 11.02, the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any Default or Event of Default hereunder, unless:

(i) the Company fails to pay the principal of or any Interest on any Note when due;

 

44


(ii) the Company fails to pay or deliver the consideration due upon conversion of any Note within the time period required herein; or

(iii) the Company fails to comply with any of the provisions herein the modification of which would require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising from such Default shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.07. Undertaking for Costs. The provisions of Section 6.07 of the Original Indenture, in addition to the limitations set forth therein, shall not apply to any suit instituted by a Holder to enforce its right to receive the consideration due upon conversion of its Notes within the time period prescribed herein.

Section 7.08. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or Interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 8.01. Original Indenture. This Article 8 supersedes in its entirety Article 10 of the Original Indenture, with the provisions of Section 8.02 of this Supplemental Indenture superseding the provisions of Section 10.01 of the Original Indenture and the provisions of Section 8.03 of this Supplemental Indenture superseding Section 10.02 of the Original Indenture.

The Company shall not consolidate with, enter into a binding share exchange with, or merge with or into, another Person or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any successor Person (any such transaction or series of transactions, a “Merger Transaction”), unless:

(a) the successor Person, if any, is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such Merger Transaction, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such Merger Transaction and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article 8.

Section 8.03. Successor Substituted. Upon any such Merger Transaction, the successor Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, and the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, except in the case of any lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

ARTICLE 9

This Section 9.01(a) supersedes in its entirety Section 5.03(a) of the Original Indenture and any reference in the Original Indenture to such Section 5.03(a) or any provision therein shall be deemed to refer to this Section 9.01(a) and the corresponding provision herein (if any). So long as any Notes are Outstanding, the Company shall (i) file with the SEC within the time periods prescribed by its rules and regulations and (ii) furnish to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes within 15 days after the date on which the Company would be required to file the same with the SEC pursuant to its rules and regulations (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act), all quarterly and annual financial information required to be contained in Forms 10-Q and 10-K. The Company shall not be required to file any report or other information with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, although such reports shall be required to be furnished to the Trustee. Documents filed by the Company with the SEC via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval (EDGAR) system (or any successor system) shall be deemed to have been furnished to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes as of the time such documents are filed via EDGAR. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if such filings have been made.

ARTICLE 10

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 10.01. Original Indenture. This Article 10 supersedes in its entirety the corresponding provisions set forth in Article 11 of the Original Indenture and any reference in the Original Indenture to such Article 11 or any provision therein shall be deemed to refer this Article 10 or the corresponding provision herein (if any), as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the reference in Section 4.03(c) of the Original Indenture to “Section 11.05” shall be deemed replaced with a reference to the second paragraph of Section 10.04 hereof.

Section 10.02. Discharge of Indenture. When (a) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Outstanding Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (b) all the Outstanding Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable (whether at the Stated Maturity Date, on any Redemption Date or on any Fundamental Change Purchase Date or upon conversion and determination of related Settlement Amounts or otherwise) and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, cash funds and (in the case of conversion) shares of Common Stock, if any, sufficient to pay all amounts due on all of such Outstanding Notes including principal and Interest due or satisfy the Company’s conversion obligation, as the case may be, (other than any Notes that shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and, in each case, the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable under the Indenture by the Company, then the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to (i) remaining rights of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange and conversion of Notes, (ii) rights hereunder of Holders to receive payments of principal of and Interest on, or the consideration due upon conversion of, the Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee and (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on written demand of the Company accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as may be required pursuant to Section 7.02(k) of the Original Indenture and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. The Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with the Indenture or the Notes.

Section 10.03. Deposited Monies and Shares To Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 10.04, all monies and shares of Common Stock, if any, deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.02 shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders, and such

 

47


monies and shares of Common Stock, if any, shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (including the Company if acting as the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent), to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment or settlement of which such monies or shares of Common Stock have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and Interest or the satisfaction of the Company’s conversion obligation, as the case may be, and payment of all other sums due under the Indenture.

Section 10.04. Paying Agent or Conversion Agent To Repay Monies and Shares Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, all monies and shares of Common Stock, if any, then held by the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company, be repaid or delivered to the Company or paid or delivered to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies and shares of Common Stock, if any.

Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies and shares of Common Stock deposited with or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of or Interest on or other obligations under, or to satisfy the Company’s conversion obligation with respect to, the Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders of the Notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of or Interest on, or other obligations under, such Notes or the Company’s conversion obligation, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid or delivered to the Company by the Trustee on demand and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies and shares of Common Stock; and the Holder of any of the Notes shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment or delivery that such Holder may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

Section 10.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent is unable to apply any money or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 10.03 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.02 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent is permitted to apply all such money or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 10.03; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of Interest on or principal of any Note or delivery of shares in respect of its conversion obligation following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or shares of Common Stock held by the Trustee or Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection with the offering by Medivation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of an aggregate of up to $258,750,000 principal amount of the Company’s 2.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) convertible into up to 3,643,432 shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”), and the preferred stock purchase rights (the “Rights”) associated with the Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to that certain Rights Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2006 (the “Rights Agreement”), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”), pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-180042) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the prospectus included within the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement dated March 13, 2012 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations of the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”). (The Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement are collectively referred to as the “Prospectus.”) The Notes will be issued pursuant to the Indenture to be dated on or about the date of the issuance of the Notes thereunder, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (as defined therein), the form of which is filed as Exhibit 4.5 to the Registration Statement (the “Indenture”), and a First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to be entered into between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, on the date of the issuance of the Notes.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and Prospectus, the form of Indenture, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

Our opinion herein is expressed solely with respect to the federal laws of the United States, the Delaware General Corporation Law and, as to the Notes constituting valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, solely with respect to the laws of the State of New York. Our opinion is based on these laws as in effect on the date hereof. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any jurisdiction are applicable to the subject matter hereof. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any federal or state antifraud law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents; the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as

originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents. With respect to our opinion as to the Conversion Shares, we have assumed that, at the time of issuance of such Conversion Shares, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock will be authorized and available for issuance.

We have assumed that, with respect to the Notes, (i) prior to the execution of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture will have been duly authorized by the Company and the Trustee by all necessary corporate action, (ii) the Indenture, in substantially the form filed as Exhibit 4.5 to the Registration Statement, will be duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee, and (iii) the Supplemental Indenture will have the terms described in the Prospectus Supplement and be duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee in the form approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly constituted and empowered committee thereof).

This opinion assumes, with your consent, that the Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Rights Agent, and that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has acted in accordance with its fiduciary duties in adopting the Rights Agreement. This opinion does not address whether the Board may be required to redeem or terminate, or take other action with respect to, the Rights in the future based on the facts and circumstances then existing. Moreover, this opinion addresses corporate procedures in connection with the issuance of the Rights associated with the Conversion Shares, and not any particular provision of the Rights or the Rights Agreement. It should be understood that it is not settled whether the invalidity of any particular provision of a rights agreement or purchase rights issued thereunder would invalidate such rights in their entirety.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that (i) when duly executed and delivered by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and Supplemental Indenture and issued and delivered to the purchasers thereof against payment therefor, the Notes will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity and limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (ii) the Conversion Shares and associated Rights, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Notes, will be validly issued and the Conversion Shares will be fully paid and nonassessable.

We consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a Current Report of the Company on Form 8-K.
