Article 1Definitions and Incorporation by Reference
Section 1.01. Definitions.
Section 1.02. Other Definitions.
Section 1.03. Rules of Construction. Unless the context otherwise requires:
Section 1.04. References to Additional Interest. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to interest on, or in respect of, any Security in this Indenture shall be deemed to include Additional Interest and Deferred Additional Interest (and interest on such Deferred Additional Interest) if, in such context, Additional Interest or Deferred Additional Interest (including, if applicable, interest on such Deferred Additional Interest) is, was or would be payable pursuant to Section 5.02(d), Section 5.02(e), Section 5.02(f) or Section 7.04, as applicable (including, if applicable, Deferred Additional Interest and interest on such Deferred Additional Interest). Unless the context otherwise requires, any express mention of Additional Interest or Deferred Additional Interest or interest thereon in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest or Deferred Additional Interest or interest thereon in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.
Article 2The Securities
Section 2.01. Form and Dating. (a) The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the respective forms set forth in Exhibit A, which Exhibit is incorporated in and made part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Any Security may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the Securities Custodian or the Depositary, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Securities may be listed or
traded or designated for issuance or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Securities are subject.
Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication; Payments of Interest and Defaulted Amounts. (a) The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof. An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual, facsimile or electronic signature. Typographic and other minor errors or defects in any such facsimile signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security which has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless. A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.
Section 2.03. Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented on the Maturity Date, upon redemption or repurchase, for registration of transfer or exchange or conversion (each, a “Registrar”), one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”), one or more offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for conversion (each, a “Conversion Agent”) and one or more offices or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served, such offices and agencies to be maintained in the contiguous United States. The Company will at all times maintain a Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be made. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their registration of transfer and exchange. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.
Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. A Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities, segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.
Section 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.
Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange; Transfer Restrictions. (a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.12, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or registration of transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.07, Section 2.10, Section 3.09, Section 4.02(d) or Section 10.05.
Section 2.07. Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar (with respect to itself) and the Trustee (with respect to itself) such security or indemnity as will be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Section 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those redeemed pursuant to Article 3, those converted pursuant to Article 4, those repurchased and surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11, those repurchased pursuant to Article 3, those delivered to it for cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
Section 2.09. Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any notice, direction, waiver, consent or other action under this Indenture, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Subsidiary or Affiliate (or any Subsidiary of such Affiliate) of the Company or any Affiliate of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such notice, direction, waiver, consent or other action, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (or any Subsidiary of such Affiliate) of the Company or any Affiliate of such other obligor.
Section 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Holders of temporary Securities shall be entitled to all the benefits of and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Certificated Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.11. Cancellation; Repurchase. The Company shall cause all Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment at maturity, purchase upon a Fundamental Change in accordance with Article 3, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s Agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment at maturity, upon purchase upon a Fundamental Change in accordance with Article 3 or redemption, or conversion. The Company shall instruct the Trustee in writing to cancel all Securities surrendered by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered to it in accordance with its customary procedures, and shall dispose of canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirements of the Trustee and the Exchange Act), in accordance with its standard procedures, and no Securities shall be authenticated in exchange thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. Except as described in the immediately following paragraph, the Company may not hold or resell such Securities or issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has purchased or otherwise acquired or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.12. Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements. (a) A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.12.
Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such notice or related action by the Company contemplated thereby shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
Article 3Optional Redemption; Repurchase Upon a Fundamental Change
Section 3.01. Optional Redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. The Securities shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to October 5, 2028 or on or after July 1, 2031. On or after October 5, 2028 and prior to July 1, 2031, the Company may redeem at its option (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any portion of the Securities (subject to the Partial Redemption Limitation), at the Redemption Price, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 3.02.
Section 3.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Securities. (a) In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than five calendar days prior to date such notice is to be sent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or
cause to be delivered a written notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not less than 45 nor more than 60 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities so to be redeemed as a whole or in part; provided, however, that, if the Company is then otherwise permitted to settle conversions of Securities by Physical Settlement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, has not irrevocably elected another Settlement Method), and the Company elects to settle all conversions of Called Securities with a Conversion Date that occurs during the related Redemption Period by Physical Settlement, then the Company may instead elect to choose a Redemption Date that is a Business Day not less than 15 nor more than 50 Scheduled Trading Days after the date the Company sends such Redemption Notice. If the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give a copy of the Redemption Notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee). The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.
Section 3.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. (a) If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of all or any part of the Securities in accordance with Section 3.02, the Securities subject to such Redemption Notice shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price, and such Securities shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
Section 3.04. Restrictions on Redemption. The Company may not redeem any Securities on any date if the principal amount of the Securities 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 Redemption Price with respect to such Securities).
Section 3.05. Repurchase at Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) Subject to the satisfaction of the requirements of this Article 3, if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of their Securities, or any portion of the principal thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 at a repurchase price (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, in which case the Company shall pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on such Regular Record Date and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased).
Section 3.06. Compliance with Securities Laws Upon Purchase of Securities. (a) In connection with any offer to purchase the Securities under Section 3.05, the Company shall comply with all tender offer rules applicable to the Company under the Exchange Act. The Company shall (a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-l (or any successor to either such Rule) and any other tender offer rules, if applicable, under the Exchange Act, (b) file a Schedule TO (or any successor or similar schedule, form or report), if required, under the Exchange Act and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer by the Company to purchase the Securities upon a Fundamental Change, so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Company under Section 3.05 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations that come into force after the date of this Indenture conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations in conducting an offer to purchase Securities required by Section 3.05 and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.05 or this Section 3.06 by virtue of such conflict.
Section 3.07. No Repurchase Upon Acceleration. No Securities may be repurchased on any date at the option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Certificated Securities held by it following the acceleration of the Securities (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities), and any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Securities in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Section 3.08. Repayment to the Company. To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.05 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash to the Company.
Section 3.09. Partial Redemption or Repurchase. Upon surrender of a Security that is to be redeemed in part pursuant to Section 3.01 or repurchased in part pursuant to Section 3.05, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (or transfer by book entry) to the Holder a new Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unrepurchased, as applicable, portion of the Security surrendered.
Article 4Conversion
Section 4.01. Conversion Rights. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 4, each Holder of a Security shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the
portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Security (i) subject to satisfaction of one or more of the conditions described in subsections (b) through (f) of this Section 4.01, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 1, 2031 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in subsections (b) through (f) of this Section 4.01, and (ii) irrespective of the conditions set forth in subsections (b) through (f) of this Section 4.01, on or after July 1, 2031 and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case at an initial conversion rate of 59.4919 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 4, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Securities (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 4.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).
Section 4.02. Settlement Upon Conversion; Conversion Procedures. (a) Subject to this Section 4.02, Section 4.04 and Section 4.07, upon conversion of any Security, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section 4.02 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (i) of this Section 4.02 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 4.02.
Section 4.03. Company to Provide Stock. The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Common Stock (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Securities would be converted by a single Holder and that Physical Settlement (giving effect to the maximum number of Additional Shares pursuant to Section 4.04) is applicable).
Section 4.04. Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Redemption Notice. (a) If and only to the extent that (i) a Holder converts its Securities in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that occurs prior to the Maturity Date or (ii) the Company gives a Redemption Notice with respect to any or all of the Securities in accordance with Section 3.02 and a Holder elects to convert its Called Securities in connection with such Redemption Notice, the Company shall, under the circumstances set forth in this Section 4.04, increase the Conversion Rate for the Securities so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares (the “Additional Shares”), as described below.
Section 4.05. Conversion Rate Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Securities participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Securities, in any of the events described in this Section 4.05, without having to convert their Securities as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holder.
Section 4.06. Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including an Observation Period and the period for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Redemption Notice), the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or expiration date of the event occurs, at any time during the relevant period.
Section 4.07. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.
Section 4.08. Cancellation of Converted Securities. All Certificated Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in this Indenture. Upon conversions of beneficial interests in any Global Security, the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented by such Global Security to reflect the conversion.
Section 4.09. Shareholders Rights. If the Company has a shareholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Securities, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, under such shareholder rights plan and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (such rights prior to separation from the Common Stock, “Non-Separate Rights”). However, if prior to any conversion the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan so that the Holders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Securities, the Conversion Rate shall be increased at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock shares of Capital Stock of the Company, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities as provided in Section 4.05(c), subject to decrease in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. A distribution of rights pursuant to such a shareholder rights plan shall not trigger a Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to Section 4.05(c) if Holders of the Securities participate in such distribution on an as-converted basis in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 4.05.
Section 4.10. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article 4 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate that the Company is obligated to deliver to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.05(k). The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with any provisions of this Article 4. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) or the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable). In addition, in no event shall the Trustee or Conversion Agent be responsible for making any calculations under this Indenture or for determining amounts to be paid or for monitoring any Stock Price. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall rely conclusively on the calculations and information provided to them by the Company as to the Daily VWAP, Trading Price, Daily Conversion Value, Daily Settlement Amount and Last Reported Sale Price. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be charged with knowledge of or have any duties to monitor any Measurement Period or Observation Period or determine whether the Securities are convertible, whether any Merger Event has occurred, or whether any adjustments to the Conversion Rate are required. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity as Conversion Agent and as Bid Solicitation Agent (if applicable).
Section 4.11. Exchange in Lieu of Conversion. (a) When a Holder surrenders its Securities for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Conversion Agent to surrender,
on or prior to the second Business Day (or, if the Company elects Physical Settlement in respect of such conversion, the Business Day) following the Conversion Date, such Securities to a financial institution designated by the Company (the “Designated Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Securities surrendered for conversion for exchange in lieu of conversion, the Designated Institution must agree to timely deliver, in exchange for such Securities, the cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company's election, that would otherwise be due upon conversion as described in Section 4.02 above or such other amount agreed to by the converting Holder and the Designated Institution (the “Conversion Consideration”). If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, by the close of business on the second Business Day (or, if the Company elects Physical Settlement in respect of such conversion, the Business Day) following the relevant Conversion Date, notify in writing the Holder surrendering Securities for conversion, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if the other than the Trustee) that it has made such election. In addition, the Company shall concurrently notify the Designated Institution of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration. Any Securities exchanged by the Designated Institution will remain outstanding, subject to the Applicable Procedures.
Article 5Covenants
Section 5.01. Payment on the Securities. The Company shall promptly make all payments in respect of the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and this Indenture. Principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of and interest on the Securities shall be considered paid on the date it is due, if the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or an Affiliate thereof) holds as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date money, deposited by the Company or an Affiliate thereof in immediately available funds, designated for and sufficient to pay all principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) and interest then due on the Securities.

Section 5.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, 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 Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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.
Article 6Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease
Section 6.01. Company May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of transactions, consolidate with or merge into any other Person or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person, unless:
For purposes of this Section 6.01, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease by one or more Subsidiaries of the Company of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person, shall be deemed to be the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease by the Company of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person.
Section 6.02. Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person or any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 6.01 in which the Company is not the continuing corporation, there shall be an adjustment to the Conversion Rate and the Successor Company shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.
Article 7Default and Remedies
Section 7.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall occur if:
Section 7.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 7.01 with respect to the Company (and not a Significant Subsidiary of the Company)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, declare all unpaid principal to the date of acceleration on the Securities then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable upon any such declaration, and the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 7.01 occurs with respect to the Company (and not a Significant Subsidiary), all unpaid principal of the Securities then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. After any acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may, except with respect to the nonpayment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price) or interest or with respect to the failure to pay and/or deliver the consideration due upon conversion, rescind and annul such acceleration by notice to the Trustee if (a) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived; (b) interest (calculated at the rate per annum borne by the Securities) on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; (c) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (d) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 8.07 have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 7.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.
Section 7.04. Additional Interest.
Section 7.05. Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default. Subject to Section 7.09 and Section 10.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee and the Company may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequence, except (a) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) of or interest on any Security, (b) a failure by the Company to convert any Securities in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture or (c) any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities that, under Section 10.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases.
Section 7.06. Cure of Defaults and Ability to Cure or Waive Before Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the manner in which any Default can be cured, (A) any failure by the Company to provide any notice under this Indenture (other than a notice specified in Section 7.01(d)) shall be subject to Section 7.01(f) (including the sixty (60) day cure period contained therein), and any related Default under this Indenture shall be deemed cured upon the sending of such notice whether or not the events or circumstances that are the subject of such notice have already occurred at the time such notice is given, (B) a Default in making any payment on (or delivering any other consideration in respect of) any Security will be cured upon the delivery, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, of such payment (or other consideration) together, if applicable, with any interest thereon, and (C) a Default that is (or, after notice or passage of time or both, would be) a Reporting Event of Default will be cured upon the filing of the relevant report(s) that were required to be filed and gave rise to such Reporting Event of Default. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) if a Default that is not an Event of Default is cured or waived before such Default would have constituted an Event of Default, then no Event of Default will result from such Default, and (ii) if an Event of Default is cured or waived before any related notice of acceleration is delivered, such Event of Default shall be deemed cured and the Securities shall not be subject to acceleration on account of such Default.
Section 7.07. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the
Securities. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that violates law or this Indenture or that would result in the Trustee incurring personal liability unless the Trustee is offered security or indemnity satisfactory to it against loss, cost, liability or expense; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.
Section 7.08. Limitations on Suits.

Section 7.11. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07, and to the extent that such payment of the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or, on behalf of any Holder, to authorize, accept
or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
