     Section 3.04 . Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and rights (charter and statutory); provided, however , that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

     Section 3.08 . 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 (including Additional Interest, if any) 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 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 5
Conversion of Notes

     Section 5.01 . Right to Convert . Subject to and upon compliance with the procedures for conversion set forth in this Article 5, a Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of any such Notes, or any portion of such principal amount which is $1,000 or a multiple thereof, into Common Stock at an initial conversion rate (the “ Conversion Rate ”) equivalent to 25.2207 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 5.05, (x) on or after May 15, 2016, without regard to the conditions described in clauses (a) through (e) below , until the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date and (y) prior to May 15, 2016, only upon the satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses (a) through (e) below; provided that, in the case of any conversion pursuant to this Article 5, the Holder must deliver a Conversion Notice (as defined below) no later than the Close of Business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The cash payable, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, if any, upon conversion of a Note shall be determined as set forth in Section 5.03.

     (a)  Conversion Based on Common Stock Price. A Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Notes for conversion during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2009, and only during such calendar quarter, if the Last Reported Sale Price for the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than 130% of the Conversion Price in effect on such last Trading Day. Whenever the Notes shall become convertible pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), the Company shall notify all Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent promptly in writing.

     (b)  Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Trading Price Condition . A Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Notes for conversion during the five Business Day period after any ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “ Measurement Period ”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set

21


 

forth in this Section 5.01(b), for each day in the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. In connection with any conversion upon satisfaction of this Section 5.01(b), the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless requested by the Company; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. Promptly after receiving such evidence, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate. Whenever the Notes shall become convertible pursuant to this Section 5.01(b), the Company shall notify all Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent promptly in writing.

     (c)  Conversion Upon Specified Distributions to Holders of Common Stock or Specified Corporate Transactions. If the Company elects to:

     (i) distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the distribution, shares of the Common Stock at a price per share less than the average Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution; or

     (ii) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock the Company’s assets, its debt securities or certain rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value as determined by the Board of Directors exceeding 15% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution,

then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent in writing at least thirty (30) Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately prior to such Ex- Date for such distribution or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. A Holder may not convert any of its Notes pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) if such Holder will otherwise participate in the distribution without conversion as a result of holding the Notes on a basis equivalent to a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of such Notes, divided by the applicable Conversion Price.

22


 

     (d)  Conversion Upon a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change .

     (i) In the event of a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion at any time beginning on the Business Day following the effective date of such Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change until (a) the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Fundamental Change or (b) the Close of Business on the thirty-fifth (35th) Business Day after the effective date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that is not a Fundamental Change. The Company shall notify all Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent in writing of the anticipated occurrence of such a Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

     (ii) If the Company is a party to a combination, merger, recapitalization, reclassification, binding share exchange or other similar transaction or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities and/or other property, that does not also constitute a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, Holders will have the right to convert their Notes at any time beginning on the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Company notifies Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent in writing of such transaction and (ii) the effective date of such transaction, and ending on the 35th Business Day immediately following the effective date of such transaction.

     (e)  Conversion Upon Redemption.
