market value of one Share on such Valuation Date, as reasonably
determined by the Calculation Agent). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii)
the Calculation Agent reasonably determines that such Expiration
Date shall be an Expiration Date for fewer than the Daily Number of
Warrants, as described above, then the Settlement Price for the
relevant Valuation Date shall be the volume-weighted average price
per Share on such Valuation Date on the Exchange, as reasonably
determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it

or prior to the fifth (5 th )
scheduled Exchange Business Day immediately preceding the First

contain: |
|
|
|
|
(i) a
representation that (x) on the date of such Cash Settlement Notice,
neither Company nor any of its affiliates is in possession of any
material non-public information with respect to Company or its
Shares, (y) the Company is electing Cash Settlement in good faith
and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of
Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”) and (z) Company has
not entered into or altered any hedging transaction relating to the
Shares corresponding to or offsetting the Transaction; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) a
representation that the Company is not electing Cash Settlement to
create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any
security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to
raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares
(or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the
Shares); |
4
|
|
|
|
|
(iii) an
acknowledgment by Company that (A) any transaction by JPMorgan
following Company’s election of Cash Settlement shall be made
at JPMorgan’s sole discretion and for JPMorgan’s own
account and (B) Company does not have, and shall not attempt to
exercise, any influence over how, when, whether or at what price to
effect such transactions, including, without limitation, the price
paid or received per Share pursuant to such transactions, or
whether such transactions are made on any securities exchange or
privately; and |
|
|
|
|
(iv) an
agreement by Company that, during the period commencing on the date
of such Cash Settlement Notice and ending on the second Exchange
Business Day following the last Settlement Date hereunder, without
the prior written consent of JPMorgan, Company shall not, and shall
cause its affiliates and affiliated purchasers (each as defined in
Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act) not to, directly or indirectly
(including, without limitation, by means of a derivative
instrument), purchase, offer to purchase, place any bid or limit
order that would effect a purchase of, or commence any tender offer
relating to, any Shares or any security convertible into or
exchangeable for the Shares in the public markets. |
|
|
|
Cash Settlement:
|
|
If Cash
Settlement is applicable, on each Settlement Date, the Company
shall deliver to JPMorgan (to an account specified by JPMorgan) the
Net Share Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date. |
|
|
|
|
In addition
to any other requirements set forth herein, Company agrees that it
shall not have the right to elect Cash Settlement if JPMorgan
notifies Company that, in the reasonable judgment of JPMorgan the
election of Cash Settlement or any purchases of Shares that
JPMorgan (or its affiliates) might make in connection therewith
based upon the advice of counsel and as a result of events
occurring after the Trade Date, would raise material risks under
applicable securities laws. |
|
|
|
Other Applicable Provisions:
|
|
The
provisions of Sections 9.1(c), 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 of the
Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references
in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be
read as references to “Net Share Settled.” “Net
Share Settled” in relation to any Warrant means that Net
Share Settlement is applicable to that Warrant. |
|
|
|
Representation and Agreement:
|
|
Notwithstanding Section 9.11 of the Equity Definitions, the
parties acknowledge that any Shares delivered to JPMorgan may be,
upon delivery, subject to restrictions and limitations arising from
Company’s status as issuer of the Shares under applicable
securities laws. |
