Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 8, 2008, TTM Technologies, Inc., or the Company, entered into an Underwriting Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, or collectively, the Underwriters, for the issuance and sale by the Company of $155 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015, or the Notes, pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-148687), or Form S-3. The Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $20 million aggregate principal amount of Notes solely to cover over-allotments. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture dated May 14, 2008 between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, or the Base Indenture, and a first supplemental indenture thereto dated as of May 14, 2008, or the Supplemental Indenture. The offering closed on May 14, 2008. Terms of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture are described in the section entitled “Description of the Notes” of the prospectus supplement dated May 8, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company on May 9, 2008 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Prospectus Supplement, which is incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions, or the Purchased Call Options, with respect to its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Common Stock, with JP Morgan Chase Bank, National Association and UBS AG, or collectively, the Counterparties. The Purchased Call Options will cover, subject to certain adjustments substantially similar to those contained in the Notes, up to approximately 9.7 million shares of Common Stock, at a strike price of approximately $15.96, also subject to adjustment. The Company paid approximately $33.9 million for the Purchased Call Options.
Separately, the Company also entered into warrant transactions, or the Sold Warrants, whereby the Company sold to the Counterparties warrants to acquire, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, up to approximately 9.7 million shares of Common Stock at a strike price of approximately $18.15 per share, also subject to adjustment. The Company received approximately $23.2 million from the sale of the Sold Warrants. The Sold Warrants were issued to the Counterparties pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
In connection with the Purchased Call Options and the Sold Warrants, the Company and the Counterparties entered into certain letter agreements, or collectively, the Confirmations.
The Purchased Call Options are exercisable on the same dates as any date of conversion of the Notes. The Purchased Call Options provide for net share settlement upon exercise. In the event of an exercise, the Counterparties will owe the Company net shares of Common Stock in an amount based on the excess of the then current market price of Common Stock over the strike price of the Purchased Call Option, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes and is subject to certain adjustments substantially similar to those contained in the Notes.
The Sold Warrants provide for net share settlement upon exercise, such that the Company will owe the Counterparties net shares of Common Stock in an amount based on the excess of the then current market price of Common Stock over the applicable strike price of the Sold Warrants. The Purchased Call Options are expected generally to reduce the potential equity dilution upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market value per share of Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the Purchased Call Options, on each trading day of the relevant observation period is greater than the applicable strike price of the Purchased Call Options, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes and is subject, with certain exceptions, to adjustments substantially similar to those contained in the Notes. If, however, the market value per share of Common Stock, as measured under the terms of the Sold Warrants, during the measurement period at maturity of the Sold Warrants exceeds the applicable strike price of the Sold

 


Table of Contents

Warrants, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market value per share of Common Stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the Sold Warrants. The Purchase Call Options and the Sold Warrants are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Notes and will not affect the holders’ rights under the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Purchase Call Option or the Sold Warrant transactions.
Copies of the Confirmations are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02.   Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 14, 2008, in connection with the Notes offering described in Item 1.01 above, the Company terminated its Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2006, with certain lenders; UBS Securities LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner; Bank of America, N.A., Comerica Bank and Silicon Valley Bank as Co-Documentation Agents; JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA, as Syndication Agent; UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent; and UBS Loan Finance LLC, as Swingline Lender, or the Credit Agreement.
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the Notes offering to repay in full a term loan under its Credit Agreement (the balance of which was approximately $64 million) and to pay expenses of approximately $2.5 million in connection with the repayment and termination of the Credit Agreement.
The terminated Credit Agreement provided for a $200 million term loan, which would have matured in October 2012, and a $40 million revolving credit facility, which would have matured in October 2011. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bore interest at a floating rate of either a base rate (the “Alternate Base Rate”) plus an applicable interest margin or LIBOR plus an applicable interest margin, which in the case of the revolving credit facility is based on grid pricing determined by the Company’s total leverage ratio. The Alternate Base Rate is equal to the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (ii) the prime rate. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the term loan and the revolving credit facility bore, at the Borrowers’ option, interest at a rate based on either (a) LIBOR plus 2.25% or (b) the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.25%. The applicable interest rate margins on both Alternate Base Rate loans and LIBOR loans under the revolving credit facility were subject to decreases under the terms of the Credit Agreement as the Company’s total leverage ratio decreases. At March 31, 2008, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement was 6.83%.
The terminated Credit Agreement contained customary limitations, including limitations on indebtedness; limitations on liens; limitations on investments and acquisitions; limitations on dividends, stock repurchases, stock redemptions and the redemption or prepayment of other debt; limitations on mergers, consolidations or sales of assets; limitations on capital expenditures; and limitations on transactions with affiliates. The Company was also subject to financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage ratios and maximum total leverage ratios.

As Representatives of the
several Underwriters listed
in Schedule 1 hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     TTM Technologies, 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 Representatives (the “ Representatives ”), an aggregate of $155,000,000 principal amount of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the “ Firm Securities ”), and, at the option of the Underwriters, up to an additional aggregate of $20,000,000 principal amount of its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the “ Additional Securities ”). The Firm Securities and the Additional Securities are herein referred to as the “ Securities .” The Securities will be issued pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of May 14, 2008 (the “ Indenture ”) between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “ Trustee ”). The Securities will be convertible into shares (the “ Underlying Securities ”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 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 ”),


 

2

a registration statement (File No. 333-148687) including a prospectus, relating to certain debt and equity securities to be issued by the Company from time to time. Such registration statement, as amended at the time it became effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“ Rule 430 Information ”), and including any post-effective amendment thereto filed prior to the Closing Date, is referred to herein as the “ Registration Statement ”; and as used herein, the term “ Preliminary Prospectus ” means the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement of the Company dated May 8, 2008 and filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act together with the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omitted Rule 430 Information, and the term “ Prospectus ” means the definitive Prospectus Supplement in the form first furnished to the Underwriters (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) for use in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities together with the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omitted Rule 430 Information. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “ Rule 462 Registration Statement ”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. 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 time when sales of the Securities are first made (the “ Time of Sale ”), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the “ Time of Sale Information ”): a Preliminary Prospectus dated May 8, 2008, and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex B hereto.
     2.  Purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters . (a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the 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 Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price (the “ Purchase Price ”) equal to 97.125% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, from May 14, 2008 to the date of payment and delivery. The public offering price of the Securities is not in excess of the price recommended by UBS Securities LLC (“ UBS ”), acting as a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the Rules of Conduct of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“ FINRA ”).


 

3

     On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the several Underwriters the Additional Securities, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase in whole, or from time to time in part, the Additional Securities from the Company at the Purchase Price plus accrued interest, if any, from the Closing Date (as defined below) to the date of payment and delivery, solely to cover over-allotments.
     If any Additional Securities are to be purchased, the principal amount of Additional Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter shall be the principal amount of Additional Securities which bears the same ratio to the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities being purchased as the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule 1 hereto (or such principal amount increased as set forth in Section 10 hereof) bears to the aggregate principal amount of Firm Securities being purchased from the Company by the several Underwriters, subject, however, to such adjustments as the Representatives in their sole discretion may make in order to ensure that the principal amount of Additional Securities purchased by each Underwriter is an integral multiple of $1,000.
     The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase the Additional Securities at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of this Agreement, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the Additional Securities are to be delivered and paid for (an “ Additional Closing Date ”), which shall be on or after the date and time of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) but shall not be earlier than two business days after the date such notice is given nor 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), except as otherwise may be agreed between the parties.
     (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 Representatives is advisable, and initially to offer the Securities on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Information. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Underwriter and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Underwriter.
     (c) Payment for the Firm Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company to the Representatives at 10:00 A.M. New York City time on May 14, 2008, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth Business Day thereafter, as the Representatives and the Company may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment is referred to herein as the “ Closing Date .” As used herein, the term “ Business Day ” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City.
     Payment for the Securities shall be made against delivery to the nominee of The Depository Trust Company for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters of the Securities of one or more global notes (collectively, the “ Global Notes ”) representing the


 

4

Securities, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer to the Underwriters of the Securities duly paid by the Company. The Global Notes will be made available for inspection by the Representatives at the office of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. at the address set forth above not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date or an Additional Closing Date, as applicable.
     (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 financial advisors or fiduciaries to, or agents of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter are 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, at the time of filing thereof, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and did 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 or 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 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)  Time of Sale Information .

The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information, when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and 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.

     (h)  Organization and Good Standing. The Company and each of its subsidiaries have been duly organized and are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, are duly qualified to do business and are in good standing in each jurisdiction in which their respective ownership or lease of property or the conduct of their respective businesses requires such qualification, and have all power and authority necessary to own or hold their respective properties and to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged, except where the failure to be so qualified, in good standing or have such power or authority would not have or would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined below) (a “ Material Adverse Effect ”).

Such policy shall be reasonably designed and enforced by the Company to ensure that such officers and directors sell no more than an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock during the period that such lock-up letters are in effect. If at any time the Company has knowledge that greater than 400,000 shares of Common Stock have been sold by such officers and directors in violation of such lock-up agreements or this Agreement, the Company shall immediately notify the Representatives and take all reasonably necessary actions to prevent any such further sales.
     (k)  Underlying Securities. 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.

     7.  Indemnification and Contribution .
     (a)  Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers 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 Time of Sale Information (including any Time of Sale Information that has subsequently been amended), 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 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.
     The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless UBS, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls UBS 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 incurred as a result of UBS’s participation as a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of the Rules of Conduct of the FINRA in connection with the offering of the Securities and the Underlying Securities.
     (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


 

24

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 expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: (i) the names of the Underwriters which appear on the front cover and back cover of the Prospectus; (ii) the names of the Underwriters which appear under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus; (iii) the third paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus (for the avoidance of doubt, such paragraph begins with the words “The underwriters initially propose...”); (iv) the seventh paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus (for the avoidance of doubt such paragraph begins with the words “A Prospectus in electronic format...”); (v) the second and third sentences contained in the twelfth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus (for the avoidance of doubt, such sentences begin with the words “The underwriters have advised us that...”); and (vi) the nineteenth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus (for the avoidance of doubt, such paragraph begins with the words “In connection with the offering of the notes, the underwriters may engage...”).
     (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 this Section 7 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 this Section 7. 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 and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of 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


 

25

interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding 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 reimbursed as they are incurred; provided , however that if indemnity may be sought pursuant to the second paragraph of 7(a) above in respect of such proceeding, then in addition to such separate firm of the Underwriters, their affiliates and such control persons of the Underwriters, the indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for UBS in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter”, its affiliates and all persons, if any, who control UBS within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by such Underwriter 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 reasonable 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 30 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 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 or UBS in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter”, as the case may be, 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 or UBS in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter”, as the case may be, 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


 

26

considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters or UBS in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter”, as the case may be, 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, or the fee to be received by UBS in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter”, as the case may be, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters or UBS in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter”, as the case may be, 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 or UBS in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter”, as the case may be, 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 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 that 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 Representatives, 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 Additional Securities, prior to the Additional Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by the Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall


 

27

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 Representatives, 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 Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.
     10.  Defaulting Underwriter . (a) If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, either Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriter may in its discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons reasonably satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by either Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriter does 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 reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriter 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 Underwriter 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 Underwriter 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 by the non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased on such date, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus the Securities of the defaulting Underwriter 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 by the non-defaulting Underwriter and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the 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 Underwriter to purchase Securities on the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriter. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be


 

28

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.

          All Securities of any series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.
          The principal of and any interest on the Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company designated in the form of Security for the series (each such place herein called the “Place of Payment”); provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by

6


 

check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register of Securities referred to in Section 2.03 hereof.
          Each Security shall be in one of the forms approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto. Prior to the delivery of a Security to the Trustee for authentication in any form approved by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate by or pursuant to which such form of Security has been approved, which Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate shall have attached thereto a true and correct copy of the form of Security that has been approved by or pursuant thereto.
          The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.
          One or more Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
          If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.
          A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.
          The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue upon receipt of a Company Order.
          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.
Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.
          The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities of a particular series may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented for payment (a “Paying Agent”). The Registrar for a particular series of Securities shall keep a register of the Securities of that series and of their registration of transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents for each series of Securities. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without prior notice to any Securityholder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.
          If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent for any series of Securities, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.
          The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar and Paying Agent for each series of Securities unless another Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that series are first issued.
Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
          Whenever the Company has one or more Paying Agents it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on, any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the

7


 

principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
          The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders of the particular series for which it is acting, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal or interest on the Securities of such series, and that such Paying Agent will notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company or any other obligor of the series of Securities in making any such payment and at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. If the Company or an Affiliate acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Securityholders of the particular series for which it is acting all money held by it as Paying Agent. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon so doing, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) shall have no further liability for such money. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.
Section 2.05 Securityholder 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 Securityholders, separately by series, and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). 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 Securityholders, separately by series, relating to such interest payment date or request, as the case may be.
Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.
          Where Securities of a series are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request.
          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.13, 3.06 or 9.04).
          The Company need not issue, and the Registrar or co-Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of, (i) any Security of a particular series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Securities of that series for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, or (ii) any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security of that series being redeemed in part.
Section 2.07 Replacement Securities.
          If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of same series if the Company’s and the Trustee’s requirements are met. The Trustee or the Company may require an indemnity bond to be furnished which is sufficient in

8


 

the judgment of both to protect the Company, the Trustee, and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company or the Trustee may charge such Holder for its expenses in replacing a Security.
          Every replacement Security is an obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all the benefit of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series.
Section 2.08 Outstanding Securities.
          The Securities of any series outstanding at any time are all the Securities of that series authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section as not outstanding.
          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.
          If Securities are considered paid under Section 4.01, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
          Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security.
          For each series of Original Issue Discount Securities, the principal amount of such Securities that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the principal amount of such Securities that could be declared to be due and payable upon acceleration upon an Event of Default as of the date of such determination. When requested by the Trustee, the Company shall advise the Trustee of such amount, showing its computations in reasonable detail.
Section 2.09 Temporary Securities.
          Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.
          Holders of temporary securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.10 Cancellation.
          The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall return such canceled Securities to the Company at the Company’s written request. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.11 Defaulted Interest.
          If the Company fails to make a payment of interest on any series of Securities, the Company shall pay such defaulted interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such defaulted interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Securities on which the interest is due on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall

9


 

fix or cause to be fixed any such record date and payment date for such payment, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before any such record date, the Company shall mail to Securityholders affected thereby a notice that states the record date, payment date, and amount of such interest to be paid.
Section 2.12 Special Record Dates.
          (a) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for the purpose of determining the identity of Holders entitled to consent to any supplement, amendment or waiver permitted by this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of Securities of that series outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to consent to such supplement, amendment or waiver or revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Securities of that series required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.
          (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of any series of Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of any notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration, any request to institute proceedings or any other similar direction. If a record date is fixed, the Holders of Securities of that series outstanding on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the date 90 days after such record date.
Section 2.13 Global Securities.
          (a) Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities.
          (b) Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.06 of this Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.06 of this Indenture for securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.
          Except as provided in this paragraph (b) of this Section, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.

10


 

          (c) Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
     “Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), New York, New York, to the issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or such other entity as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co. has an interest herein.”
     “Transfer of this Global Security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to nominees of DTC or to a successor thereof or such successor’s nominee and limited to transfers made in accordance with the restrictions set forth in the Indenture referred to herein.”
          (d) Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture.
          (e) Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 hereof, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Person specified therein.
          (f) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a Person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.
Section 2.14 CUSIP Numbers.
          The Company in issuing any series of Securities may use “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 such Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Securities, and any such action relating to such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers in such notice. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION
Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.
          If the Company elects to redeem Securities of any series pursuant to any optional redemption provisions thereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate which shall specify (i) the provisions of such Security or this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

11


 

          If the Company elects to reduce the principal amount of Securities of any series to be redeemed pursuant to mandatory redemption provisions thereof, it shall notify the Trustee of the amount of, and the basis for, any such reduction. If the Company elects to credit against any such mandatory redemption Securities it has not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, it shall deliver such Securities with such notice.
Section 3.02 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed.
          If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Securities of that series to be redeemed or purchased as follows: (1) if the Securities of such series are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Securities of that series are listed, or, (2) if the Securities of that series are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. In the event of a partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Securities to be redeemed or purchased will be selected not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from Securities of that series outstanding and not previously called for redemption.
          The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly in writing of the Securities or portions of Securities to be called for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Except as otherwise provided as to any particular series of Securities, Securities and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in amounts equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of the series to be redeemed or purchased or any integral multiple thereof, except that if all of the Securities of the series are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of the Securities of the series held by such Holder, even if not equal to the minimum authorized denomination for the Securities of that series, shall be redeemed or purchased. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.
Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.
          Except as otherwise provided as to any particular series of Securities, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.
          The notice shall identify the Securities of the series to be redeemed and shall state:
          (1) the redemption date;
          (2) the redemption price fixed in accordance with the terms of the Securities of the series to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption (the “redemption price”);
          (3) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Securities;
          (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
          (5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
          (6) that, unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

12


 

          (7) the CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed;
          (8) the paragraph of the Securities and/or the section of the Indenture pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; and
          (9) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.
          At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense, provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. The notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice of the Holder of any Security shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Security.
Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.
          Except if the giving of a notice of redemption would violate the terms of the Company’s credit agreement, and subject to the subordination provisions of any series of Securities, once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date for the redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities will be paid at the Redemption Price.
Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.
          On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption or purchase date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any Affiliate is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of all Securities called for redemption on that date other than Securities that have previously been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company any money not required for that purpose.
          If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities (or the portions thereof) called for redemption or purchase. If a Security is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Securities were registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Securities called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in accordance with the terms of the Securities of the series to be redeemed.
Section 3.06 Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part.
          Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Security of same series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered.

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, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
          The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a).
          Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

ARTICLE 6
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 6.01 Events of Default.
          An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to Securities of any particular series if, unless as otherwise provided in the establishing Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto:
          (1) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable and the Default continues for a period of 30 days;
          (2) the Company defaults in the payment, when due, of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable at Maturity, upon

16


 

redemption (including in connection with any offer to purchase under the terms of such Securities) or otherwise;
          (3) an Event of Default, as defined in the Securities of that series, occurs and is continuing, or the Company fails to comply with any of its other agreements in the Securities of that series or in this Indenture with respect to that series and the Default continues for the period and after the notice specified below;
          (4) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
          (A) commences a voluntary case;
          (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;
          (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;
          (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
          (E) admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as the same become due.
          (5) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
          (A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case;
          (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property; or
          (C) orders the liquidation of the Company; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.
          (6) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series which is specified in a Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing that series of Securities.
          The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
          A Default under clause (3) above is not an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” Such notice shall be given by the Trustee if so requested in writing by the Holders of 50% of the principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series.
Section 6.02 Acceleration.
          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (4) and (5) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, subject to any prior notice requirements set forth in any supplemental indenture, declare the unpaid principal (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be provided for in such Securities) of and any accrued interest on all the Securities of that series to be due and payable on the Securities of that series. Upon such declaration the principal (or such lesser amount) and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or (5) of Section 6.01 occurs, all of such

17


 

amount shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to that series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal (or such lesser amount) or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration.
Section 6.03 Other Remedies.
          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal or interest on the Securities of that series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of that series or this Indenture.
          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
          Subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series, by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of that series, waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to that series and its consequences except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund or like payment) of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of that series (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from any such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority.
          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy with respect to that series available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities of that series, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action which it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be obligated to take any action with respect to the provisions of Section 6.02 unless directed to do so pursuant to this Section 6.05.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.
          A Holder of Securities of any series may not pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:
          (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to that series;

18


 

          (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
          (3) such Holder or Holders offer, and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
          (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
          (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
          No Holder of any series of Securities may use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of Securities of that series or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Securities of that series.
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security (including in connection with any offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not, except as provided in the subordination provisions, if any, applicable to such Security, be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.
          If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal (or such portion of the principal as may be specified as due upon acceleration at that time in the terms of that series of Securities), premium, if any, and interest, remaining unpaid on the Securities of that series then outstanding, together with (to the extent lawful) interest on overdue principal and interest, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and, to the extent lawful, expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.
Section 6.09 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof) and the Securityholders 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 to and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings 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 reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. 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 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 6.10 Priorities.
          If the Trustee collects any money with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First:   to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
 
Second:   in accordance with the subordination provisions, if any, of the Securities of such series;
 
Third:   to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and
 
Fourth:   to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities of any series pursuant to this Section. The Trustee shall notify the Company in writing reasonably in advance of any such record date and payment date.
Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.
          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 a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defense made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series.

          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment on any such Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of such Securityholders.
Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.
          Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall mail to Holders of Securities of that series as provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (if such report is required by TIA Section 313(a)). The Trustee shall also comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2).

the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent.
          To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities. Such lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
          If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.
          This Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.
Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.
          A resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to one or more or all series of Securities and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.
          The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee as to that series by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to one or more or all series of Securities if:

          (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;
          (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
          If, as to any series of Securities, the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee for that series. Within one year after the successor Trustee with respect to any series takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If a successor Trustee as to a particular series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of that series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof with respect to any series, any Holder of Securities of that series who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for that series.
          A successor Trustee as to any series of Securities shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee (subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof), the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this

23


 

Indenture as to that series. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders of Securities of that series.
          Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring trustee.
          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 that (1) 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, (2) shall contain such provisions as shall be 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 (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; provided, however, that nothing herein or in such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust hereunder separate and apart from any trust hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.
          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 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.
Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
          If the Trustee as to any series of Securities consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee as to that series.
Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.
          Each series of Securities shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee as to any series of Securities shall always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b).

24


 

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
          The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

          This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities issued hereunder, when:

          (a) all Securities of such series that have been authenticated (except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
          (b) all Securities of such series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of Maturity or redemption:
          (2) no Default or Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party to or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;
          (3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities; and
          (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities of such series at Maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be. In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

outstanding Securities of any such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight.
Section 8.03 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
          Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.02 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and any Guarantor shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of any series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and any Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of a series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.06 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.05 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium and interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s or any Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article Eight. Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.04 hereof.
Section 8.04 Covenant Defeasance.
          Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.02 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.04, the Company or any Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, be released from their respective obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, and 4.07, and Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Securities of any series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of any series, the Company or any Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.02 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.04 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.05 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(6) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.05 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.
          The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof to the outstanding Securities of any series. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
          (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium and interest on the outstanding Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;
          (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
          (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.04 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
          (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Securities pursuant to this Article Eight concurrently with such incurrence) or insofar as Sections 6.01(4) or 6.01(5) hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;
          (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
          (f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and
          (g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
Section 8.06 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
          Subject to Section 8.07 hereof, all money and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes

27


 

of this Section 8.06, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.05 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
          The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities.
          Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.05 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.05(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
Section 8.07 Repayment to Company.
          Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Securities shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
Section 8.08 Reinstatement.
          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.03 or 8.04 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9
SUPPLEMENTS, AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS
Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders.
          The Company and the Trustee as to any series of Securities may supplement or amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or the consent of any Securityholder:
     (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
     (2) to comply with Article 5;
     (3) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;
     (4) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;
     (5) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities, provided, however, that any such addition, change or elimination (A) shall neither (i) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (ii) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become effective only when there is no outstanding Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision;
     (6) to make any change that does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Securityholders of any series; or
     (7) to establish additional series of Securities as permitted by Section 2.01 hereof.
Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders.
          Subject to Section 6.07, the Company and the Trustee as to any series of Securities may amend this Indenture or the Securities of that series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of each series affected by the amendment, with each such series voting as a separate class. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may also waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture with respect to that series or the Securities of that series; provided, however, that without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:
     (1) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;
     (2) reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous provision;
     (3) reduce the rate of, or change the time for payment of interest on, any Security;
     (4) reduce the principal of or change the fixed Maturity of any Security or waive a redemption payment or alter the redemption provisions with respect thereto;
     (5) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security (including defaulted interest);
     (6) reduce the principal amount of Original Issue Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof;
     (7) make any change in Section 6.04, 6.07 or this Section 9.02; or

29


 

     (8) waive a default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Security, except to the extent otherwise provided for in
Section 6.02 hereof.
          An amendment or waiver under this Section that waives, changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture that has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or that modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.
          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
          The Company shall mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.
Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents.
          Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security; provided, however, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before the date on which the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter shall bind every Holder of Securities of that series.
Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
          If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security: (a) the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee, the Trustee may, at the written direction of the Company and at the Company’s expense, place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security thereafter authenticated; or (b) if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.
          Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

30


 

Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
          Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental Indenture if the same does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2015
     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the “ Notes ”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of May 14, 2008, as supplemented and modified by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 14, 2008 (together, the “ Indenture ”), each between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “ Trustee ”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes.
      Interest . The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per year. Interest on the Notes will accrue from May 14, 2008. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15, beginning November 15, 2008, and at maturity.
     Interest will be paid to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.
      Ranking . The Notes constitute a senior unsecured general obligation of the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any future debt of the Company that is expressly made subordinate in right of payment to the Notes by the terms of such debt, and effectively ranking junior to any existing and future secured debt of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.
      Redemption at the Option of the Company . The Company may not redeem any of the Notes at its option prior to maturity.
      Repurchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change . Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated, at the option of the Holder, to repurchase the Notes if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Stated Maturity at 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, which amount will be paid in cash.
      Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice . Holders have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

18


 

      Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price . If cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all Notes or portions thereof to be repurchased on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, such Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or portions thereof) immediately after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon surrender of such Note).
      Conversion . Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture (including without limitation the conditions of conversion of this Note set forth in Article 6 thereof), the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert the Principal Amount hereof or any portion of such principal which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, in each case at the Conversion Rate. The initial Conversion Rate is 62.6449 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $15.96), subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, based on a Settlement Amount calculated on a proportionate basis for each day of the Observation Period, as set forth in the Indenture. No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Notes for conversion. Notes in respect of which a Holder is exercising its right to require repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date may be converted only if such Holder withdraws its election to exercise such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
     In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Note, including an exchange, transfer, repurchase or conversion of this Note in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.
     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Principal Amount plus interest, including Additional Interest, if any, through such date on all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of any provision of or applicable to this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the

19


 

registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it, the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of the Principal Amount or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal Amount or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of, and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on, this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Principal Amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
     The Notes are issuable only in registered form in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount, as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate Principal Amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and the Note Registrar and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not

20


 

this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
      This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
     All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     The Principal Amount of and interest on Global Notes registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, as applicable.
     The Principal Amount of Certificated Notes shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. Interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on Certificated Notes will be payable (i) to Holders having an aggregate Principal Amount of $5,000,000 or less of Notes, by check mailed to such Holders at the address set forth in the Note Register and (ii) to Holders having an aggregate Principal Amount of more than $5,000,000 of Notes, either by check mailed to such Holders or, upon application by a Holder to the Note Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date for such interest payment, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such Holder’s account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies the Note Registrar to the contrary in writing.
     Section 3.02. Ranking. The Notes constitute a senior unsecured general obligation of the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior

27


 

unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly made subordinate in right of payment to the Notes by the terms of such Indebtedness, and effectively ranking junior to any existing and future secured Indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.
     Section 3.03. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount.
     Section 3.04. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer or its Treasurer.
     Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.
     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes. The Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as a Global Note or as Certificated Notes. The Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this First Supplemental Indenture provided and not otherwise.
     Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
     No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
     Section 3.05. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes; provided , that any such temporary Notes shall bear legends on the face of such Notes as set forth in Section 2.02.

Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like Principal Amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as Certificated Notes.
     Section 3.06. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer.
     (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “ Note Register ”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” (the “ Note Registrar ”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.
     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, each such Note bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this First Supplemental Indenture (including Sections 2.02).
     At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.06 and to Section 3.10, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
     All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
     Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

29


 

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company and the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.05 not involving any transfer.
     Neither the Company nor the Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note (i) that has been surrendered for conversion or (ii) as to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn, except that where such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice provides that such Note is to be purchased only in part, the Company and the Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the portion thereof not to be purchased.
     (b) Neither the Trustee, the Note Registrar nor any of their respective agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation relating to any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder.
     Section 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

     (d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Note, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations and the same tenor.

The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
     Section 3.11. CUSIP Numbers. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption 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 Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to repurchase such Note may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with Article 5 hereof prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
     Section 6.02. Conversion Procedure.
     (a) Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent.
     (b) In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any interest in Global Notes, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the

42


 

Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by this Section 6.02 or Section 6.03(c) and any transfer taxes if required pursuant to Section 6.08. In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any Notes in certificated form, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:
     (i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Note (the “ Conversion Notice ”) or a facsimile of the conversion notice and deliver such notice and the Note to a Conversion Agent;
     (ii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents;
     (iii) if required, pay all taxes and duties that may be applicable to such conversion; and
     (iv) make any payment required under this Section 6.02, Section 6.03(c) or Section 6.08.
     The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above is the “ Conversion Date .”
     (c) Each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. All such Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized attorney.
     (d) On the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Observation Period, subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in a name other than that of the Holder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Notes (or portion thereof) so converted), the Company shall deliver and shall issue to such Holder at the office of the Conversion Agent, the cash amounts payable in respect of such conversion and a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of such conversion, if any, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, with respect to any conversion of Notes for which the Conversion Date occurs on or after the Effective Date of a Fundamental Change in which the Reference Property into which the Common Stock is converted consists entirely of cash, the delivery of cash and issuance of shares of Common Stock referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall take place on the third Scheduled Trading Day after the relevant Conversion Date. In case any Notes of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, new Notes

43


 

in authorized denominations in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.
     Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 6.02 have been satisfied as to such Notes (or portion thereof), and the person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the Holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however , that in case of any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, the person or persons in whose name the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the record Holder thereof for all purposes on the next day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date upon which such Notes shall be surrendered.
     (e) Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Notes, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Notes as to the reduction in the Principal Amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
     Section 6.03. Settlement Upon Conversion.
     (a) Upon conversion of any Notes, the Company shall deliver to converting Holders, in respect of each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes being converted, a “ Settlement Amount ” equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 60 Trading Days during the Observation Period for such Notes. The “ Daily Settlement Amount ” for each of the 60 Trading Days during the Observation Period shall consist of:
     (i) cash equal to the lesser of (x) $1,000 divided by 60 (such quotient being referred to as the “ Daily Measurement Value ”) and (y) the Daily Conversion Value, and
     (ii) to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds the Daily Measurement Value, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the difference between the Daily Conversion Value and the Daily Measurement Value, divided by (y) the Daily VWAP for such day.
     (b) Upon conversion, Holders shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, unless such conversion occurs between a Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates, in which case such payment shall be payable to the Holder of converted Notes as of the Record Date.
     (c) If Notes are converted after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Record Date for the payment of interest, Holders of such Notes at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Record Date will receive the interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for

44


 

conversion during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Record Date to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment need be made (i) in respect of any conversion which occurs after the Record Date for the interest payment due on May 15, 2015; (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the third Trading Day after the corresponding Interest Payment Date or (iii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Notes.
     (d) The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes. If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Notes, the Company shall make payment therefor to the Holder of such Notes in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable multiplied by the Daily VWAP for the final Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period.
     (e) For purposes of this Section 6.03, and notwithstanding the definitions contained in Section 1.01, the term “ Trading Day ” shall mean a day during which (A) there is no Market Disruption Event and (B) trading in securities generally occurs on The Nasdaq Stock Market or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, on the principal other US national on regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, in the principal other market on which the Common Stock is then traded. If the Common Stock (or other security for which a Daily VWAP must be determined for purposes of this Section 6.03) is not so listed or quoted, then, for purposes of this Section 6.03, “Trading Day” shall mean a Business Day.
      Section 6.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company will not make any adjustment if holders of Notes may participate, as a result of holding the Notes, in the transactions described without having to convert their Notes.
     (a) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issues shares of its Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination with respect to its Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
(FORMULA)

45


 

  where
     
CR 0 =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
 
   
CR’ =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date;
 
   
OS 0 =
  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date; and
 
   
OS’ =
  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the opening of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date for such dividend or distribution, or the date fixed for determination for such share split or share combination.
     (b) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issues to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
(FORMULA)
  where
     
CR 0 =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
 
   
CR’ =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
 
   
OS 0 =
  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

46


 

     
X =
  the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
 
   
Y =
  the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants.
     To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
For the purposes of this Section 6.04(b), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “ Trigger Event ”): (1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 6.04(b) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(b) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights 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 Section 6.04(b). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights 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 record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights 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 Section 6.04(b) was made, (1) in the

47


 

case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final 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 of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
     (c) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while the Notes are outstanding, distributes shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company, evidences of its Indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, excluding:
     (i) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 6.04(a);
     (ii) rights or warrants referred to in Section 6.04(b);
     (iii) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 6.04(d); and
     (iv) spin-offs to which the provisions of this Section 6.04(c) apply,
     then the conversion rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
(FORMULA)
  where
     
CR 0 =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
 
   
CR’ =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
 
   
SP 0 =
  the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
 
   
FMV =
  the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

48


 

     Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors of the Company determines the Fair Market Value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 6.04(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock.
     With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock or shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a “ Spin-Off ”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula:
(FORMULA)
   where
     
CR 0 =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period (as defined below);
 
   
CR’ =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
 
   
FMV 0 =
  the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off (the “ Valuation Period ”); and
 
   
MP 0 =
  the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
     The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph will occur on the last day of the Valuation Period; provided , that in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period, references within this Section 6.04(c) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such spin-off and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable adjustment to the Conversion Rate.
     For the purposes of this Section 6.04(c), any shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company, evidences of its Indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company (the “ Company Interests ”), which, until the occurrence of a Trigger Event: (1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for

49


 

purposes of this Section 6.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such Company Interests shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 6.04(c). If any such Company Interests, including any distributed prior to the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such Company Interests become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets or property, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new Company Interests (and a termination or expiration of the existing Company Interests without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of Company Interests, 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 Section 6.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such Company Interests which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final 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 of Common Stock with respect to such Company Interests (assuming such holder had retained such Company Interests), made to all applicable holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such Company Interests which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such Company Interests had not been issued.
     (d) If any cash dividend or other distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
(FORMULA)
  where
     
CR 0 =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date For such dividend or distribution;
 
   
CR’ =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
   
SP 0 =
  the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
 
   
C     =
  the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.

50


 

     (e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share 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 Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
(FORMULA)
  where
     
CR 0 =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the adjustment;
 
   
CR’ =
  the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the effective date of the adjustment;
 
   
AC =
  the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
 
   
OS 0 =
  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
   
OS’ =
  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires; and
 
   
SP’ =
  the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.04(e) shall occur at the close of business on the tenth Trading Day from, and including the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided , that in respect of any conversion within 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references within this Section 6.04(e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable adjustment to the Conversion Rate.
     (f) For purposes of this Section 6.04, “ record date ” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or

51


 

other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Company’s Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).
     (g) If application of the formulas provided in Sections 6.04(a), 6.04(b), 6.04(c), 6.04(d) or 6.04(e) would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made except in the case of a share split or share combination with respect to the Company’s Common Stock.
     (h) To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to subsection (i) below, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 Business Days, the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to this Section 6.04(h), the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Notes a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
     (i) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to any adjustments required by Section 6.04(a), 6.04(b), 6.04(c), 6.04(d) or 6.04(e), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
     (j) All calculations under this Article 6 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten-thousandth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 6.04.
     (k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate to the Trustee, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall cause such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to be mailed to each Noteholder at such Holder’s last address appearing on the list of Noteholders provided for in

52


 

Section 3.06, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
     (l) In any case in which this Section 6.04 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Notes converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 6.03.
     (m) For purposes of this Section 6.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock 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.
     (n) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 6.04 if the Holders of the Notes may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.04. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.04, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted: (i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan; (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or restricted stock units or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any Subsidiary; (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued; (iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or (v) for accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any).
     (o) In no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion exceed 79.8722 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, whether as a result of an increase in the Conversion Rate in connection with a Fundamental Change or otherwise, subject in each case to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in this Section 6.04.
     Section 6.05. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the following events occur:
     (i) any reclassification or change of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par

53


 

value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, or any other change for which an adjustment is provided in Section 6.04(c));
     (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination to which the Company is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in outstanding shares of Common Stock; or
     (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination of the foregoing) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,
then the Company or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that the Notes shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Notes (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available to convert all such Notes) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance (the “ Reference Property ”). However, any amount otherwise payable in cash upon settlement of conversion of Notes immediately prior to the effective time of such transaction shall continue to be payable in cash, and each Noteholder shall be entitled thereafter to convert its Notes into cash (up to the aggregate Principal Amount thereof) and Reference Property in the same proportions provided under Section 6.03(a) with respect to settlement of conversions in cash and shares of Common Stock. If the transaction causes Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any from of stockholder election), the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such election. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 6. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

54


 

     The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 6.05 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 6.04 shall not apply.
     Section 6.06. Adjustments of Average Prices. Whenever a provision of the Indenture requires the calculation of an average of Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAP over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the conversion rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which the average is to be calculated.
     Section 6.07. Adjustments Upon Certain Fundamental Changes .
     (a) If a Holder elects to convert Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change, the Conversion Rate for such Notes shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “ Additional Shares ”) as described below. Any conversion occurring at a time when the Notes would be convertible in light of the expected or actual occurrence of a Fundamental Change shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with such Fundamental Change notwithstanding the fact that a Note may then also be convertible because another condition to conversion under Section 6.01 has been satisfied.
     (b) The number of Additional Shares shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “ Effective Date ”) and the price (the “ Stock Price ”) paid per share of Common Stock in the Fundamental Change. If the Fundamental Change is a transaction described in clause (1) or (2) of the definition thereof, and holders of Common Stock receive only cash in such Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. In all other cases, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change.
     (c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. 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 Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 6.04.

55


 

     (d) In the event that the exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates relating to a Fundamental Change are not set forth in the table in Schedule A , then:
     (i) If the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts 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 and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
     (ii) If the Stock Price is greater than $50.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 6.04), no Additional Shares will be issued upon conversion.
     (iii) If the Stock Price is less than $12.52 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 6.04), no Additional Shares will be issued upon conversion.
     Section 6.08 . Taxes on Shares Issued. Any issue of stock certificates on conversions of Notes shall be made without charge to the converting Holder for any documentary, transfer, stamp or any similar tax in respect of the issue thereof, and the Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the Holder of any Notes converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
     Section 6.09 . Reservation of Shares; Shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance With Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares or securities, all such Notes would be held by a single Holder).
     Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment increasing the Conversion Rate to an amount that would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

56


 

     The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any lien or adverse claim.
     The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to list or cause to have quoted any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Notes on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
     Section 6.10 . Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Notes; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 6. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 6.05 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 6.05 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 and Article 7 of the Base Indenture, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.
     Section 6.11 . Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions . In case:
     (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6.04; or
     (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or
     (c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par

57


 

value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or
     (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;
then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and to be mailed to each Noteholder at such Holder’s address appearing on the list of Noteholders provided for in Section 3.06 of this First Supplemental Indenture, as promptly as practicable but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and 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 reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
     Section 6.12 . Stockholder Rights Plan. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes pursuant to this Article 6 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, 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 stockholder rights plan of the Company that may be in effect at such time. If at the time of conversion, however, the rights pursuant to an effective stockholder rights plan have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement so that the Holders of the Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company has distributed to all holders of Common Stock, rights or warrants as provided in Section 6.04(b) or, as appropriate and without duplication of Section 6.04(b), Company Interests as provided in Section 6.04(c), each subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights or warrants.
     Section 6.13 . Company Determination Final. Any determination that the Company or its Board of Directors must make pursuant to this Article 6 shall be conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, absent manifest error, and set forth in a Board Resolution.

     Section 7.02 . Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
     (a) If an Event of Default (other than those specified in Section 7.01(h) and 7.01(i)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, on all the Outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, shall become immediately due and payable.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(h) or Section 7.01(i)), the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including

60


 

Additional Interest, on all Outstanding Notes will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
     (b) The Holders of not less than a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default hereunder and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences, if (1) such recission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than Events of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b), have been cured or waived; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holders may not waive or rescind a Default:
     (i) described in Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b); or
     (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 11 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.
     Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom 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 impair any right consequent thereon.
     Section 7.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if a Default is made in the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, at the Maturity thereof or in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of any Note, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
     Section 7.04 . Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the

61


 

Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 of the Base Indenture.
     No provision of the Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes 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.
     Section 7.05 . Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money to Holders, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 of the Base Indenture;
     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes for the Principal Amount, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or interest, including Additional Interest, as the case may be, 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 Notes; and
     THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.
     Section 7.06 . Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder (other than in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(b), unless:
     (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
     (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

62


 

     (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
     (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
     (v) no direction, in the opinion of the Trustee, inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.
     Section 7.07 . Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or 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 Repurchase Date, as applicable, and to convert the Notes in accordance with Article 6, 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 7.08 . Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
     Section 7.09 . Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 3.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

63


 

     Section 7.10 . Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
     Section 7.11 . Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes shall 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, provided that:
     (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the Indenture; and
     (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
     Section 7.12 . Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, in either case in respect of the Notes, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.12 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal Amount on any Note on or after Maturity of such Note or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
     Section 7.13 . 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, or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, 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 7.14 . Notice of Default to Holders. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must mail to each Holder notice of the Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. The Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of the Notes of any Event of Default, except defaults in payment of Principal Amount or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, if and so long as a committee of the trust

64


 

officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Notes.
     Section 7.15 . Default Interest. Payments of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, principal or interest, including Additional Interest, if any, that are not made when due will accrue interest at the annual rate of 1% per annum above the then-applicable interest rate from the required payment date.
     Section 7.16. Sole Remedy for Failure to Report . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the Company may elect by written notice to the Trustee that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure of the Company to comply with its agreements under Section 4.05 of this First Supplemental Indenture or the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act will for the 365 calendar days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (“ Additional Interest ”) on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum for the first 180 calendar days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default and 0.50% per annum from the 181st calendar day until the 365th day after the occurrence of such an Event of Default. Such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same Interest Payment Dates and subject to the same terms as other interest payable under this First Supplemental Indenture. Additional Interest shall accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05 first occurs to but not including the 365th calendar day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05 shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th calendar day (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05 shall have been cured or waived), such Additional Interest shall cease to accrue and on such 365th calendar day the Notes shall be subject to acceleration and other remedies as provided in this Section 7.16 if the Event of Default is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 7.16 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 Additional Interest upon an Event of Default relating to failure to comply with Section 4.05, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02. For the further avoidance of doubt, the Additional Interest will accrue from the date on which the Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05 occurs. In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05, the Company must notify all Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the tenth Business Day following the date on which the Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.05 occurs.

ARTICLE 10
Satisfaction And Discharge
     Section 10.01 . Discharge of Indenture.

8. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty
The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the Underwriting Agreement (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) dated as of May 8, 2008 between Counterparty and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC as representatives of the Underwriters party thereto (the “ Underwriters ”) are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to JPMorgan as if set forth herein. Counterparty hereby further represents and warrants to JPMorgan that:
  (a)   Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of this Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.
 
  (b)   Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.
 
  (c)   No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.
 
  (d)   Counterparty is not and will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
  (e)   It is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “ CEA ”)) because one or more of the following is true:
 
      Counterparty is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other entity and:
  (A)   Counterparty has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000;
 
  (B)   the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are guaranteed, or otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through (iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or

  (f)   Each of it and its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Counterparty.
9. Other Provisions:
  (a)   Opinions . Counterparty shall deliver to JPMorgan an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (c) of this Confirmation.
 
  (b)   Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give JPMorgan a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 41.24 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1.3 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless JPMorgan and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to JPMorgan’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide JPMorgan with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide JPMorgan with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, 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. The remedies provided for in this paragraph

10


 

(JPMORGAN)
      (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction.
 
  (c)   Regulation M . Counterparty is not on the date hereof engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of the Convertible Notes. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Trade Date, engage in any such distribution.
 
  (d)   No Manipulation . Counterparty is not entering into this Transaction 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) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.
 
  (e)   Transfer or Assignment . (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “ Transfer Options ”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that JPMorgan may impose, including, but not limited, to the following conditions:
(A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(o) or 9(t) of this Confirmation;
(B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended);
(C) Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of JPMorgan, will not expose JPMorgan to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan;
(D) JPMorgan will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that JPMorgan would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;
(E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;
(F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by JPMorgan to permit JPMorgan to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and
(G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by JPMorgan in connection with such transfer or assignment.

11


 

(JPMORGAN)
      (ii) JPMorgan may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of JPMorgan at the time of the transfer and (2) AA by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or Aa3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and JPMorgan. If after JPMorgan’s commercially reasonable efforts, JPMorgan is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan and within a time period reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan of a sufficient number of Options to reduce (1) the number of shares that JPM Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns to 8.0% of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares or less or (2) the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the Number of Options and (B) the Option Entitlement divided by (y) the number of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares (such quotient expressed as a percentage, the “ Option Equity Percentage ”) to 14.5% or less, JPMorgan may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of this Transaction, such that (1) the number of Shares that JPM Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 8.0% of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares or (2) the Option Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 14.5%. In the event that JPMorgan so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(l) shall apply to any amount that is payable by JPMorgan to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). “ JPM Group ” means JPMorgan and each business unit of its affiliates subject to aggregation with JPMorgan under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder.
 
      (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing JPMorgan to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, JPMorgan may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform JPMorgan’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. JPMorgan shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
 
  (f)   Staggered Settlement . If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to JPMorgan’s hedging activities hereunder, JPMorgan reasonably determines that it would not be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by JPMorgan on the Settlement Date for the Transaction, JPMorgan may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) as follows:
  (a)   in such notice, JPMorgan will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;

12


 

(JPMORGAN)
  (b)   the aggregate number of Shares that JPMorgan will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates will equal the number of Shares that JPMorgan would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and
 
  (c)   if the Net Share Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Net Shares will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by JPMorgan in the notice referred to in clause (a) above.
  (g)   Role of Agent . Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., an affiliate of JPMorgan (“ JPMSI ”), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to this Transaction and (ii) JPMSI has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of this Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under this Transaction.
 
  (h)   Dividends . If at any time during the period from and excluding the Trade Date, to but excluding the Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, the Option Entitlement and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Options to JPMorgan after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof.
 
  (i)   Additional Termination Events . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation if an event of default with respect to Counterparty shall occur under the terms of the Convertible Notes as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture or Section 7.01 of the Supplemental Indenture, then such event of default shall constitute an Additional Termination Event applicable to the Transaction and, with respect to such event of default (A) Counterparty shall be deemed to be the sole Affected Party and the Transaction shall be the sole Affected Transaction and (B) JPMorgan shall be the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement.
 
  (j)   Amendments to Equity Definitions . (i) Section 12.6(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) deleting from the fourth line thereof the word “or” after the word “official” and inserting a comma therefor, and (2) deleting the semi-colon at the end of subsection (B) thereof and inserting the following words therefor “or (C) at JPMorgan’s option, the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1) through (9) of the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to that Issuer.”
 
      (ii) Section 12.9(b)(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (1) replacing “either party may elect” with “JPMorgan may elect” and (2) replacing “notice to the other party” with “notice to Counterparty” in the first sentence of such section.
 
  (k)   Setoff . Neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.
 
  (l)   Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by JPMorgan to Counterparty (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity

13


 

(JPMORGAN)
      Definitions or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (a “ Payment Obligation ”), Counterparty may request JPMorgan to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) (except that Counterparty shall not make such an election in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency, a Merger Event or Tender Offer, in each case, in which the consideration to be paid to holders of Shares consists solely of cash, or an Event of Default in which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Counterparty is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement in each case that resulted from an event or events outside Counterparty’s control) and shall give irrevocable telephonic notice to JPMorgan, confirmed in writing within one Currency Business Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Counterparty does not validly request JPMorgan to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, JPMorgan shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, notwithstanding Counterparty’s election to the contrary. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in Section 6(e) with respect to (i) this Transaction and (ii) all other Transactions, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement.
         
 
  Share Termination Alternative:   Applicable and means that JPMorgan shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.
 
       
 
  Share Termination Delivery Property:   A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
 
       
 
  Share Termination Unit Price:   The value to JPMorgan of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to JPMorgan at the

14


 

(JPMORGAN)
         
 
      time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.
 
       
 
  Share Termination Delivery Unit:   One Share or, if a Merger Event has occurred and a corresponding adjustment to this Transaction has been made, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
 
 
  Failure to Deliver:   Applicable
 
       
 
  Other applicable provisions:   If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to this Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction.
  (m)   Governing Law . New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine).
 
  (n)   Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications provided herein.
 
  (o)   Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of JPMorgan, the Shares (“ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by JPMorgan for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to this Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by JPMorgan without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election, either (i) in order to allow JPMorgan to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to JPMorgan an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to JPMorgan, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if JPMorgan, in its reasonable discretion,

15


 

(JPMORGAN)
      based on its customary practices for similar offerings, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow JPMorgan to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to JPMorgan (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of this Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate JPMorgan for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from JPMorgan at the Reference Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by JPMorgan.
 
  (p)   Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
 
  (q)   Right to Extend . If, in its commercially reasonable judgment and based on the advice of counsel, JPMorgan determines that, in light of existing liquidity conditions, its hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder would not be advisable in light of applicable laws and regulations and interpretations thereof, then JPMorgan may postpone, in whole or in part, any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, to the extent that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to address such applicable laws and regulations.
 
  (r)   Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . JPMorgan acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to JPMorgan rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgan’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgan’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
 
  (s)   Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for: (a) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code; and (c) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.
 
  (t)   Additional Provisions . Counterparty covenants and agrees that as promptly as practicable following the public announcement of any consolidation, merger and binding share exchange to which Counterparty is a party, or any sale of all or substantially all of Counterparty’s assets, in each case pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property, Counterparty shall notify JPMorgan in writing of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon

16


 

(JPMORGAN)
      consummation of such transaction or event (the date of such notification, the “ Consideration Notification Date ”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such transaction or event is consummated.
 
  (u)   Receipt or Delivery of Cash . For the avoidance of doubt, other than payment of the Premium by Counterparty, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to receive or deliver cash in respect of the settlement of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation, except in circumstances where the cash settlement thereof is within Counterparty’s control (including, without limitation, where an Event of Default by Counterparty has occurred under Section 5(a)(ii) or Section 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement, where Counterparty elects to receive or deliver cash or fails timely to elect to receive or deliver Share Termination Delivery Property in respect of the settlement of such Transaction) or in those circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent 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 determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.

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.

The representations and warranties of Company set forth in Section 3 of the Underwriting Agreement (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) dated as of May 8, 2008 among Company and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC as representatives of the Underwriters party thereto (the “ Underwriters ”) are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to JPMorgan as if set forth herein. Company hereby further represents and warrants to JPMorgan that:
  (a)   Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of this Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Company’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.
 
  (b)   Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Company hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of

7


 

      incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Company, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.
 
  (c)   No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Company of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.
 
  (d)   The Shares of Company initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the net share settlement method (the “ Warrant Shares ”) have been reserved for issuance by all required corporate action of Company. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment therefor (which may include Net Share Settlement in lieu of cash) and otherwise as contemplated by the terms of the Warrant following the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrant, will be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of the Warrant Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.
 
  (e)   Company is not and will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
  (f)   Company is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “ CEA ”)) because one or more of the following is true:
 
      Company is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other entity and:
  (A)   Company has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000;
 
  (B)   the obligations of Company hereunder are guaranteed, or otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through (iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or
 
  (C)   Company has a net worth in excess of USD 1,000,000 and has entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of Company’s business or to manage the risk associated with an asset or liability owned or incurred or reasonably likely to be owned or incurred by Company in the conduct of Company’s business.
  (g)   Company and each of its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Company.
9. Other Provisions:
  (a)   Opinions . Company shall deliver an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, to JPMorgan with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (d) of this Confirmation.
 
  (b)   Repurchase Notices . Company shall, on any day on which Company effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give JPMorgan a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares on such day, subject to any adjustments provided herein, is (i) less than 41.24 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1.3 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless JPMorgan and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and

8


 

      controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to JPMorgan’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person actually may become subject to, as a result of Company’s failure to provide JPMorgan with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in writing, and Company, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Company may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Company 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, Company agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Company shall not, without the prior 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 have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Company 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. The remedies provided for in this paragraph 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. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction.
 
  (c)   Regulation M . Company is not on the date hereof engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Company, other than (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of USD 155,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2015. Company shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Trade Date, engage in any such distribution.
 
  (d)   No Manipulation . Company is not entering into this Transaction 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) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.
 
  (e)   Transfer or Assignment . Company may not transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Transaction without the prior written consent of JPMorgan. JPMorgan may, without Company’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Transaction to any third party. If after JPMorgan’s commercially reasonable efforts, JPMorgan is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan and within a time period reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan of a sufficient number of Warrants to reduce (i) the number of Shares that JPM Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) to 8.0% of Company’s outstanding Shares or less or (ii) the quotient of (x) the product of (a) the Number of Warrants and (b) the Warrant Entitlement divided by (y) the number of Company’s outstanding Shares (such

9


 

      quotient expressed as a percentage, the “ Warrant Equity Percentage ”) to 14.5% or less, JPMorgan may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of this Transaction, such that (i) the number of Shares that JPM Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 8.0% of Company’s outstanding Shares or (ii) the Warrant Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 14.5%. In the event that JPMorgan so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Warrants equal to the Terminated Portion, (ii) Company shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (iii) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of paragraph 9(j) shall apply to any amount that is payable by Company to JPMorgan pursuant to this sentence). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing JPMorgan to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Company, JPMorgan may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform JPMorgan’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. JPMorgan shall be discharged of its obligations to Company to the extent of any such performance. “ JPM Group ” means JPMorgan and each business unit of its affiliates subject to aggregation with JPMorgan under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder.
 
  (f)   Dividends . If at any time during the period from and excluding the Trade Date, to and including the Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants and/or Daily Number of Warrants to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to JPMorgan after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof.
 
  (g)   Role of Agent. Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., an affiliate of JPMorgan (“ JPMSI ”), has acted solely as agent and not as principal with respect to this Transaction and (ii) JPMSI has no obligation or liability, by way of guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, in any manner in respect of this Transaction (including, if applicable, in respect of the settlement thereof). Each party agrees it will look solely to the other party (or any guarantor in respect thereof) for performance of such other party’s obligations under this Transaction.
 
  (h)   Additional Provisions .
(i) Amendments to the Equity Definitions:
(A) Section 11.2(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the words “a diluting or concentrative” and replacing them with the words “an”; and adding the phrase “or Warrants” at the end of the sentence.

  (i)   No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Neither party shall have the right to set off any obligation that it may have to the other party under this Transaction against any obligation such other party may have to it, whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation or any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.
 
  (j)   Alternative Calculations and Payment on Early Termination and on Certain Extraordinary Events . If, in respect of this Transaction, an amount is payable by Company to JPMorgan, (i) pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions (except in the event of an Insolvency, Nationalization, Tender Offer or Merger Event in which the consideration or proceeds to be paid to holders of shares consists solely of cash) or (ii) pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default in which Company is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in which Company is the Affected Party, other than an Event of Default of the type described in (x) Section 5(a)(iii), (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of the Agreement or (y) a Termination Event of the type described in Section 5(b) of the Agreement, in the case of both (x) and (y), resulting from an event or events outside Company’s control) (a “ Payment Obligation ”), Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative (as defined below) by giving irrevocable telephonic notice to JPMorgan, confirmed in writing within one Scheduled Trading Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. New York local time on the Merger Date, Tender Offer Date, Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), Early Termination Date or date of cancellation, as applicable; provided that if Company does not validly elect to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative, JPMorgan shall have the right to require Company to satisfy its Payment Obligation by the Share Termination Alternative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company’s or JPMorgan’s right to elect satisfaction of a Payment Obligation in the Share Termination Alternative as set forth in this clause shall only apply to Transactions under this Confirmation and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated with respect to (a) Transactions hereunder and (b) all other Transactions under the Agreement, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, subject to, in the case of clause (a), Company’s Share Termination Alternative right hereunder.
         
 
  Share Termination Alternative:   If applicable, Company shall deliver to JPMorgan the Share Termination Delivery Property on the date (the

12


 

         
 
      Share Termination Payment Date ”) on which the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or Section 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, as applicable, subject to paragraph (k)(i) below, in satisfaction, subject to paragraph (k)(ii) below, of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by JPMorgan free of payment.
 
       
 
  Share Termination Delivery Property:   A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price. The Calculation Agent shall adjust the amount of Share Termination Delivery Property by replacing any fractional portion of a security therein with an amount of cash equal to the value of such fractional security based on the values used to calculate the Share Termination Unit Price.
 
       
 
  Share Termination Unit Price:   The value to JPMorgan of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of such Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in paragraph (k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below) as set forth in paragraph (k)(ii) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the date of cancellation or the Early Termination Date, as applicable.
 
       
 
  Share Termination Delivery Unit:   In the case of a Termination Event, Event of Default Additional Disruption Event or Delisting, one Share or, in the case of Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event. If such Nationalization, Insolvency, Tender Offer or Merger Event involves a choice of consideration to be received by holders, such holder

13


 

         
 
      shall be deemed to have elected to receive the maximum possible amount of cash.
 
       
 
  Failure to Deliver:   Inapplicable
 
       
 
  Other applicable provisions:   If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to this Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction.
  (k)   Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of JPMorgan, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to JPMorgan hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of JPMorgan subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “ Restricted Shares ”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless JPMorgan waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.
  (i)   If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “ Private Placement Settlement ”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to JPMorgan (or any affiliate designated by JPMorgan) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by JPMorgan (or any such affiliate of JPMorgan). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to JPMorgan, due diligence rights (for JPMorgan or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by JPMorgan), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, JPMorgan shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price

14


 

      (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to JPMorgan hereunder; provided that in no event shall such number be greater than two times the Number of Shares (the “ Maximum Amount ”). Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by JPMorgan to Company, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).
 
      In the event Company shall not have delivered the full number of Restricted Shares otherwise applicable as a result of the proviso above relating to the Maximum Amount (such deficit, the “ Deficit Restricted Shares ”), Company shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Restricted Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Restricted Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Company shall immediately notify JPMorgan of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Restricted Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Restricted Shares thereafter.
 
  (ii)   If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “ Registration Settlement ”), then Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to JPMorgan. If JPMorgan, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If JPMorgan is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “ Resale Period ”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which JPMorgan completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(1) or (2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(3) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act.

15


 

      If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall transfer to JPMorgan by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the “ Additional Amount ”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“ Make-whole Shares ”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Amount.
 
  (iii)   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that any Restricted Shares delivered to JPMorgan, as purchaser of such Restricted Shares, (i) may be transferred by and among JPMorgan and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by JPMorgan and (ii) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed after any Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by JPMorgan (or such affiliate of JPMorgan) to Company or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by JPMorgan (or such affiliate of JPMorgan).
      If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party.
 
  (l)   Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, JPMorgan may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, JPM Group. would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, JPM Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares. If any delivery owed to JPMorgan hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Company shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Business Day after, JPMorgan gives notice to Company that, after such delivery, JPM Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares.
 
  (m)   Share Deliveries . Company acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the holder of this Warrant is not then an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for 90 days (it being understood that JPMorgan will not be considered an affiliate under this paragraph solely by reason of its receipt of Shares pursuant to this Transaction), and otherwise satisfies all holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act applicable to it, any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property hereunder at any time after 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) shall be eligible for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act and Company agrees to promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, to remove, any legends referring to any restrictions on resale under the

16


 

      Securities Act from the Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property. Company further agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property prior to the date that is 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company), may be transferred by and among JPMorgan and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by JPMorgan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Company agrees that any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property shall be effected by book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC, or any successor depositary, if at the time of delivery, such class of Shares or class of Share Termination Delivery Property is in book-entry form at DTC or such successor depositary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any successor rule are amended, or the applicable interpretation thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any court change after the Trade Date, the agreements of Company herein shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary, in the opinion of outside counsel of Company, to comply with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as in effect at the time of delivery of the relevant Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation or the Agreement, in no event will Company be required to deliver more than the Maximum Amount of Shares in the aggregate to JPMorgan in connection with this Transaction, subject to the provisions regarding Deficit Restricted Shares
 
  (r)   Right to Extend. JPMorgan may postpone, in whole or in part, any Expiration Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the relevant Warrants (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Daily Number of Warrants with respect to one or more Expiration Dates) if JPMorgan determines, in its commercially reasonable judgment, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve JPMorgan’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable JPMorgan to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if JPMorgan were Issuer or an affiliated purchaser of Issuer, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to JPMorgan.

JPMorgan acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to JPMorgan rights against Company with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Company in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Company; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgan’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Company of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit JPMorgan’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.

8. Representations and Warranties of Counterparty
The representations and warranties of Counterparty set forth in Section 3 of the Underwriting Agreement (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”) dated as of May 8, 2008 between Counterparty and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC as representatives of the Underwriters party thereto (the “ Underwriters ”) are true and correct and are hereby deemed to be repeated to UBS as if set forth herein. Counterparty hereby further represents and warrants to UBS that:
  (a)   Counterparty has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in respect of this Transaction; such execution, delivery and performance have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on Counterparty’s part; and this Confirmation has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Counterparty and constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.
 
  (b)   Neither the execution and delivery of this Confirmation nor the incurrence or performance of obligations of Counterparty hereunder will conflict with or result in a breach of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or any equivalent documents) of Counterparty, or any applicable law or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency, or any agreement or instrument to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien under, any such agreement or instrument.
 
  (c)   No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation, except such as have been obtained or made and such as may be required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) or state securities laws.
 
  (d)   Counterparty is not and will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
  (e)   It is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “ CEA ”)) because one or more of the following is true:
 
      Counterparty is a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other entity and:
  (A)   Counterparty has total assets in excess of USD 10,000,000;

9


 

  (B)   the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are guaranteed, or otherwise supported by a letter of credit or keepwell, support or other agreement, by an entity of the type described in Section 1a(12)(A)(i) through (iv), 1a(12)(A)(v)(I), 1a(12)(A)(vii) or 1a(12)(C) of the CEA; or
 
  (C)   Counterparty has a net worth in excess of USD 1,000,000 and has entered into this Agreement in connection with the conduct of Counterparty’s business or to manage the risk associated with an asset or liability owned or incurred or reasonably likely to be owned or incurred by Counterparty in the conduct of Counterparty’s business.
  (f)   Each of it and its affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Counterparty.
9. Other Provisions:
  (a)   Opinions . Counterparty shall deliver to UBS an opinion of counsel, dated as of the Trade Date, with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 8(a) through (c) of this Confirmation.
 
  (b)   Repurchase Notices . Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly give UBS a written notice of such repurchase (a “ Repurchase Notice ”) on such day if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than 41.24 million (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than 1.3 million less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless UBS and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to UBS’s hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 “insider”, including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to this Transaction), claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide UBS with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within 30 days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide UBS with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such

10


 

      proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, 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. The remedies provided for in this paragraph (b) are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Transaction.
 
  (c)   Regulation M . Counterparty is not on the date hereof engaged in a distribution, as such term is used in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), of any securities of Counterparty, other than (i) a distribution meeting the requirements of the exception set forth in Rules 101(b)(10) and 102(b)(7) of Regulation M and (ii) the distribution of the Convertible Notes. Counterparty shall not, until the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Trade Date, engage in any such distribution.
 
  (d)   No Manipulation . Counterparty is not entering into this Transaction 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) or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act.
 
  (e)   Transfer or Assignment . (i) Counterparty shall have the right to transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Options hereunder (such Options, the “ Transfer Options ”); provided that such transfer or assignment shall be subject to reasonable conditions that UBS may impose, including, but not limited, to the following conditions:
(A) With respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) or any obligations under Section 9(o) or 9(t) of this Confirmation;
(B) Any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a United States person (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended);
(C) Such transfer or assignment shall be effected on terms, including any reasonable undertakings by such third party (including, but not limited to, an undertaking with respect to compliance with applicable securities laws in a manner that, in the reasonable judgment of UBS, will not expose UBS to material risks under applicable securities laws) and execution of any documentation and delivery of legal opinions with respect to securities laws and other matters by such third party and Counterparty, as are requested and reasonably satisfactory to UBS;
(D) UBS will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that UBS would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;
(E) An Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;
(F) Without limiting the generality of clause (B), Counterparty shall cause the transferee to make such Payee Tax Representations and to provide such tax documentation as may be reasonably requested by UBS to permit UBS to determine that results described in clauses (D) and (E) will not occur upon or after such transfer and assignment; and

11


 

(G) Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by UBS in connection with such transfer or assignment.
(ii) UBS may, without Counterparty’s consent, transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Transaction to any third party with a rating for its long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness equal to or better than the lesser of (1) the credit rating of UBS at the time of the transfer and (2) AA by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, Inc. or its successor (“ S&P ”), or Aa3 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”) or, if either S&P or Moody’s ceases to rate such debt, at least an equivalent rating or better by a substitute rating agency mutually agreed by Counterparty and UBS. If after UBS’s commercially reasonable efforts, UBS is unable to effect such a transfer or assignment on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to UBS and within a time period reasonably acceptable to UBS of a sufficient number of Options to reduce (1) the number of shares that UBS Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns to 8.0% of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares or less or (2) the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the Number of Options and (B) the Option Entitlement divided by (y) the number of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares (such quotient expressed as a percentage, the “ Option Equity Percentage ”) to 14.5% or less, UBS may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “ Terminated Portion ”) of this Transaction, such that (1) the number of Shares that UBS Group directly or indirectly beneficially owns following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 8.0% of Counterparty’s outstanding Shares or (2) the Option Equity Percentage following such partial termination will be equal to or less than 14.5%. In the event that UBS so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of this Transaction, a payment shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (1) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to this Transaction and a Number of Options equal to the Terminated Portion, (2) Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination and (3) such Transaction shall be the only Terminated Transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9(l) shall apply to any amount that is payable by UBS to Counterparty pursuant to this sentence as if Counterparty was not the Affected Party). “ UBS Group ” means UBS and each business unit of its affiliates subject to aggregation with UBS under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder.
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing UBS to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any shares or other securities to or from Counterparty, UBS may designate any of its affiliates to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such shares or other securities and otherwise to perform UBS’s obligations in respect of this Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. UBS shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty to the extent of any such performance.
  (f)   Staggered Settlement . If upon advice of counsel with respect to applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including any requirements relating to UBS’s hedging activities hereunder, UBS reasonably determines that it would not be practicable or advisable to deliver, or to acquire Shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered by UBS on the Settlement Date for the Transaction, UBS may, by notice to Counterparty on or prior to any Settlement Date (a “ Nominal Settlement Date ”), elect to deliver the Shares on two or more dates (each, a “ Staggered Settlement Date ”) as follows:
  (a)   in such notice, UBS will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (the first of which will be such Nominal Settlement Date and the last of which will be no later than the twentieth (20th) Exchange Business Day following such Nominal Settlement Date) and the number of Shares that it will deliver on each Staggered Settlement Date;

12


 

  (b)   the aggregate number of Shares that UBS will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates will equal the number of Shares that UBS would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; and
 
  (c)   if the Net Share Settlement terms set forth above were to apply on the Nominal Settlement Date, then the Net Share Settlement terms will apply on each Staggered Settlement Date, except that the Net Shares will be allocated among such Staggered Settlement Dates as specified by UBS in the notice referred to in clause (a) above.
  (g)   Role of Agent . Each party agrees and acknowledges that (i) Agent is acting as agent for both parties but does not guarantee the performance of either party and neither UBS nor Counterparty shall contact the other with respect to any matter relating to the Transaction without the direct involvement of Agent; (ii) Agent is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation; (iii) Agent, UBS and Counterparty each hereby acknowledges that any transactions by UBS or Agent in the Shares will be undertaken by UBS or Agent, as the case may, as principal for its own account; (iv) without limiting the obligations of UBS or Agent hereunder or in the Agreement, all of the actions to be taken by UBS and Agent in connection with the Transaction, including but not limited to any exercise of any rights with respect to the Options, shall be taken by UBS or Agent independently and without any advance or subsequent consultation with Counterparty; and (v) Agent is not authorized to act as agent for Counterparty except to the extent required to satisfy the requirements of Rule 15a-6 under the Exchange Act in respect of the Options described hereunder.
 
  (h)   Dividends . If at any time during the period from and excluding the Trade Date, to but excluding the Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will make a corresponding adjustment to any one or more of the Strike Price, Number of Options, the Option Entitlement and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment for the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Options to UBS after taking into account such dividend or lack thereof.
 
  (i)   Additional Termination Events .

In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in Section 6(e) with respect to (i) this Transaction and (ii) all other Transactions, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement.
     
Share Termination Alternative:
  Applicable and means that UBS shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Section 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable (the “ Share Termination Payment Date ”), in satisfaction of the Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment.

Share Termination Unit Price:
  The value to UBS of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to UBS at the time of notification of the

14


 

     
 
  Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider the purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property.
 
   
Share Termination Delivery Unit:
  One Share or, if a Merger Event has occurred and a corresponding adjustment to this Transaction has been made, a unit consisting of the number or amount of each type of property received by a holder of one Share (without consideration of any requirement to pay cash or other consideration in lieu of fractional amounts of any securities) in such Merger Event, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
 
   
Failure to Deliver:
  Applicable
 
   
Other applicable provisions:
  If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to this Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction.
  (m)   Governing Law . New York law (without reference to choice of law doctrine).
 
  (n)   Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Transaction.

  (o)   Registration . Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of UBS, the Shares (“ Hedge Shares ”) acquired by UBS for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to this Transaction cannot be sold in the public market by UBS without registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election, either (i) in order to allow UBS to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, make available to UBS an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to UBS, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered secondary offering; provided , however , that if UBS, in its reasonable discretion, based on its customary practices for similar offerings, is not satisfied with access to due diligence materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for the registered offering referred to

15


 

      above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this paragraph shall apply at the election of Counterparty, (ii) in order to allow UBS to sell the Hedge Shares in a private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and substance satisfactory to UBS (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of this Transaction that are necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to compensate UBS for any discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private placement), or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from UBS at the Reference Price on such Exchange Business Days, and in the amounts, requested by UBS.
 
  (p)   Tax Disclosure . Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
 
  (q)   Right to Extend . If, in its commercially reasonable judgment and based on the advice of counsel, UBS determines that, in light of existing liquidity conditions, its hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder would not be advisable in light of applicable laws and regulations and interpretations thereof, then UBS may postpone, in whole or in part, any Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery with respect to some or all of the Options hereunder, to the extent that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to address such applicable laws and regulations.
 
  (r)   Status of Claims in Bankruptcy . UBS acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to UBS rights against Counterparty with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common stockholders of Counterparty in any United States bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit UBS’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Transaction; provided , further , that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit UBS’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Transaction.
 
  (s)   Securities Contract; Swap Agreement . The parties hereto intend for: (a) the Transaction to be a “securities contract” and a “swap agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code) (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”), and the parties hereto to be entitled to the protections afforded by, among other Sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 546(e), 546(g), 555 and 560 of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) a party’s right to liquidate the Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as described in the Bankruptcy Code; and (c) each payment and delivery of cash, securities or other property hereunder to constitute a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” and a “transfer” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.
 
  (t)   Additional Provisions . Counterparty covenants and agrees that as promptly as practicable following the public announcement of any consolidation, merger and binding share exchange to which Counterparty is a party, or any sale of all or substantially all of Counterparty’s assets, in each case pursuant to which the Shares will be converted into cash, securities or other property, Counterparty shall notify UBS in writing of the types and amounts of consideration that holders of Shares have elected to receive upon consummation of such transaction or event (the date of such notification, the “ Consideration Notification Date ”); provided that in no event shall the Consideration Notification Date be later than the date on which such transaction or event is consummated.

16


 

  (u)   Receipt or Delivery of Cash . For the avoidance of doubt, other than payment of the Premium by Counterparty, nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as requiring Counterparty to receive or deliver cash in respect of the settlement of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation, except in circumstances where the cash settlement thereof is within Counterparty’s control (including, without limitation, where an Event of Default by Counterparty has occurred under Section 5(a)(ii) or Section 5(a)(iv) of the Agreement, where Counterparty elects to receive or deliver cash or fails timely to elect to receive or deliver Share Termination Delivery Property in respect of the settlement of such Transaction) or in those circumstances in which holders of the Shares would also receive cash.

17


 

     Counterparty hereby agrees (a) to check this Confirmation carefully and immediately upon receipt so that errors or discrepancies can be promptly identified and rectified and (b) to confirm that the foregoing (in the exact form provided by UBS AG, London Branch) correctly sets forth the terms of the agreement between UBS AG, London Branch, and Counterparty with respect to the Transaction, by manually signing this Confirmation or this page hereof as evidence of agreement to such terms and providing the other information requested herein and immediately returning an executed copy to Equity Risk Management (Corporates), Facsimile No. (212) 821-4610.

     The purpose of this letter agreement (this “ Confirmation ”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Warrants issued by TTM Technologies, Inc. (“ Company ”) to UBS AG, London Branch (“UBS”) represented by UBS Securities LLC (“ Agent ”) as its agent as of the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below. This Confirmation shall replace any previous agreements and serve as the final documentation for this Transaction.
     The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “ Equity Definitions ”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ ISDA ”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. This Transaction shall be deemed to be a Share Option Transaction within the meaning set forth in the Equity Definitions.
     Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.
1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between UBS and Company as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates.

In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Expiration Date is a Disrupted Day and (ii) the Calculation Agent 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 determined by the Calculation Agent based on such sources as it deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Valuation Date for which the Calculation Agent determines there is no Market Disruption Event.

  (i)   No Collateral or Setoff . Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Company hereunder are not secured by any collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company’s or UBS’s right to elect satisfaction of a Payment Obligation in the Share Termination Alternative as set forth in this clause shall only apply to Transactions under this Confirmation and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (1) separate amounts shall be calculated with respect to (a) Transactions hereunder and (b) all other Transactions under the Agreement, and (2) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of the Agreement, subject to, in the case of clause (a), Company’s Share Termination Alternative right hereunder.

Share Termination Unit Price:
  The value to UBS of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit on the date such Share Termination Delivery Units are to be delivered as Share Termination Delivery Property, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means. The Calculation Agent shall notify Company of such Share Termination Unit Price at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. In the case of a Private Placement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares (as defined below), as set forth in paragraph (k)(i) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be determined by the discounted price applicable to such Share Termination Delivery Units. In the case of a Registration Settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units that are Restricted Shares

13


 

       
 
 
  (as defined below) as set forth in paragraph (k)(ii) below, the Share Termination Unit Price shall be the Settlement Price on the Merger Date, the Tender Offer Date, the Announcement Date (in the case of a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting), the date of cancellation or the Early Termination Date, as applicable.
 
 
   
 
Share Termination Delivery Unit:

Failure to Deliver:
  Inapplicable
 
 
   
 
Other applicable provisions:
  If Share Termination Alternative is applicable, the provisions of Sections 9.8, 9.9, 9.11, 9.12 and 10.5 (as modified above) of the Equity Definitions will be applicable, except that all references in such provisions to “Physically-settled” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Settled” and all references to “Shares” shall be read as references to “Share Termination Delivery Units”. “Share Termination Settled” in relation to this Transaction means that Share Termination Alternative is applicable to this Transaction.
  (k)   Registration/Private Placement Procedures . If, in the reasonable opinion of UBS, following any delivery of Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property to UBS hereunder, such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property would be in the hands of UBS subject to any applicable restrictions with respect to any registration or qualification requirement or prospectus delivery requirement for such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities law (including, without limitation, any such requirement arising under Section 5 of the Securities Act as a result of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or as a result of the sale of such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property being subject to paragraph (c) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) (such Shares or Share Termination Delivery Property, “ Restricted Shares ”), then delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be effected pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) below at the election of Company, unless UBS waives the need for registration/private placement procedures set forth in (i) and (ii) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely in respect of any Daily Number of Warrants exercised or deemed exercised on any Expiration Date, Company shall elect, prior to the first Settlement Date for the first Expiration Date, a Private Placement Settlement or Registration Settlement for all deliveries of Restricted Shares for all such Expiration Dates which election shall be applicable to all Settlement Dates for such Warrants and the procedures in clause (i) or clause (ii) below shall apply for all such delivered Restricted Shares on an aggregate basis commencing after the final Settlement Date for

14


 

      such Warrants. The Calculation Agent shall make reasonable adjustments to settlement terms and provisions under this Confirmation to reflect a single Private Placement or Registration Settlement for such aggregate Restricted Shares delivered hereunder.
  (i)   If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (i) (a “ Private Placement Settlement ”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Company shall be effected in customary private placement procedures with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to UBS; provided that Company may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Company to UBS (or any affiliate designated by UBS) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(1) or Section 4(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by UBS (or any such affiliate of UBS). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to UBS, due diligence rights (for UBS or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by UBS), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements, all reasonably acceptable to UBS. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, UBS shall determine the appropriate discount to the Share Termination Unit Price (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or any Settlement Price (in the case of settlement of Shares pursuant to Section 2 above) applicable to such Restricted Shares in a commercially reasonable manner and appropriately adjust the number of such Restricted Shares to be delivered to UBS hereunder; provided that in no event shall such number be greater than two times the Number of Shares (the “ Maximum Amount ”). Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Exchange Business Day following notice by UBS to Company, of such applicable discount and the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the Share Termination Payment Date (in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above) or on the Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares (in the case of settlement in Shares pursuant to Section 2 above).
 
      In the event Company shall not have delivered the full number of Restricted Shares otherwise applicable as a result of the proviso above relating to the Maximum Amount (such deficit, the “ Deficit Restricted Shares ”), Company shall be continually obligated to deliver, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Restricted Shares have been delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Restricted Shares when, and to the extent, that (i) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Company or any of its subsidiaries after the Trade Date (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (ii) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved and (iii) Company additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for other transactions. Company shall immediately notify UBS of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) and the corresponding number of Restricted Shares to be delivered) and promptly deliver such Restricted Shares thereafter.
 
  (ii)   If Company elects to settle the Transaction pursuant to this clause (ii) (a “ Registration Settlement ”), then Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than the beginning of the Resale Period) file and use its reasonable best efforts to make effective under the Securities Act a registration statement or supplement or amend an outstanding registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to UBS, to cover the resale of such Restricted Shares in accordance with customary resale registration procedures, including covenants, conditions, representations, underwriting discounts (if applicable), commissions (if applicable), indemnities due diligence rights, opinions and

15


 

      certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for equity resale underwriting agreements, all reasonably acceptable to UBS. If UBS, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with such procedures and documentation Private Placement Settlement shall apply. If UBS is satisfied with such procedures and documentation, it shall sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to such registration statement during a period (the “ Resale Period ”) commencing on the Exchange Business Day following delivery of such Restricted Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the Share Termination Payment Date in case of settlement in Share Termination Delivery Units pursuant to paragraph (j) above or (y) the Settlement Date in respect of the final Expiration Date for all Daily Number of Warrants) and ending on the earliest of (i) the Exchange Business Day on which UBS completes the sale of all Restricted Shares or, in the case of settlement of Share Termination Delivery Units, a sufficient number of Restricted Shares so that the realized net proceeds of such sales equals or exceeds the Payment Obligation (as defined above), (ii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares have been sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (or similar provisions then in force) or Rule 145(d)(1) or (2) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act and (iii) the date upon which all Restricted Shares may be sold or transferred by a non-affiliate pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) or Rule 145(d)(3) (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act. If the Payment Obligation exceeds the realized net proceeds from such resale, Company shall transfer to UBS by the open of the regular trading session on the Exchange on the Exchange Trading Day immediately following the last day of the Resale Period the amount of such excess (the “ Additional Amount ”) in cash or in a number of Shares (“ Make-whole Shares ”) in an amount that, based on the Settlement Price on the last day of the Resale Period (as if such day was the “Valuation Date” for purposes of computing such Settlement Price), has a dollar value equal to the Additional Amount. The Resale Period shall continue to enable the sale of the Make-whole Shares. If Company elects to pay the Additional Amount in Shares, the requirements and provisions for Registration Settlement shall apply. This provision shall be applied successively until the Additional Amount is equal to zero. In no event shall Company deliver a number of Restricted Shares greater than the Maximum Amount.
 
  (iii)   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company agrees that any Restricted Shares delivered to UBS, as purchaser of such Restricted Shares, (i) may be transferred by and among UBS and its affiliates and Company shall effect such transfer without any further action by UBS and (ii) after the period of 6 months from the Trade Date (or 1 year from the Trade Date if, at such time, informational requirements of Rule 144(c) are not satisfied with respect to Company) has elapsed after any Settlement Date for such Restricted Shares, Company shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for such Restricted Shares to remove, any legends referring to any such restrictions or requirements from such Restricted Shares upon request by UBS (or such affiliate of UBS) to Company or such transfer agent, without any requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by UBS (or such affiliate of UBS).
      If the Private Placement Settlement or the Registration Settlement shall not be effected as set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, then failure to effect such Private Placement Settlement or such Registration Settlement shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to which Company shall be the Defaulting Party.
 
  (l)   Limit on Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, UBS may not exercise any Warrant hereunder or be entitled to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares upon the exercise of such Warrant or otherwise hereunder, UBS Group. would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares. Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the

16


 

      extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, UBS Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of 7.5% of the then outstanding Shares.

Exhibit 99.1
TTM Technologies, Inc. to Offer $125 Million of Convertible Senior Notes
SANTA ANA, California — May 8, 2008 — TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTMI) today announced its intention to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $125 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 in an underwritten public offering. The offering will be made pursuant to TTM’s effective shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In certain circumstances, the notes will be convertible into cash up to their principal amount and into shares of TTM’s common stock with respect to any conversion value above their principal amount. TTM expects to grant the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $18.75 million of notes to cover over-allotments, if any. The interest rate, conversion rate, and other terms of the notes will be determined by negotiations between TTM and the underwriters of the notes.
In connection with the offering, TTM expects to enter into convertible note hedge transactions, which are intended to reduce the potential dilution to TTM’s common stockholders upon any conversion of the notes. TTM also expects to enter into warrant transactions concurrently with the offering, which would result in additional proceeds to TTM. TTM has been advised that, in connection with establishing the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, the counterparties to those transactions or their affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to TTM’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. These derivative transactions could result in an increase, or prevent a decline, in the price of TTM’s common stock concurrently with or following the pricing of the notes.
TTM expects to use a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions. This cost will be partially offset by proceeds that TTM expects to receive from the sale of the warrants. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional notes, TTM may use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of additional notes to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions. TTM may also enter into additional warrant transactions, which would result in additional proceeds to TTM. TTM expects to use the proceeds from the offering remaining after the net cost of the convertible note hedge transactions and the warrant transactions to repay in full its term loan under its senior credit facility, and to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes, nor shall there be any sale of the notes, in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any offers of the notes will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and related prospectus, copies of which may be obtained by contacting JPMorgan, National Statements Processing, 4 Chase Metrotech Center, Floor L2, Brooklyn, New York 11245 or by calling (718) 242-8002.

TTM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. PRICES $155 MILLION OF 3.25% CONVERTIBLE
SENIOR NOTES
SANTA ANA, California — May 9, 2008 — TTM Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTMI) today announced the pricing of $155 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 in an underwritten public offering. The offering is being made pursuant to TTM’s effective shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a prospectus supplement and related prospectus. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Investment Bank are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. The company has granted the underwriters the right to purchase up to an additional $20 million aggregate principal amount of the notes within 30 days solely to cover over-allotments.
In certain circumstances, the notes will be convertible into cash up to their principal amount and into shares of TTM’s common stock with respect to any conversion value above their principal amount, initially at the rate of 62.6449 shares for each $1,000 of conversion value in excess of the principal amount of notes. Interest on the notes will be paid semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year at a rate of 3.25% per year. Holders of the notes may require TTM to repurchase the notes for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change.
In connection with the offering, TTM entered into convertible note hedge transactions, which are intended to reduce the potential dilution to TTM’s common stockholders upon any conversion of the notes. TTM also entered into warrant transactions concurrently with the offering.
TTM has been advised that, in connection with establishing a hedge of the convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions, the counterparties to those transactions or their affiliates may enter into various derivative transactions with respect to TTM’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. These activities could have the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the price of TTM’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. The counterparties or their affiliates may also enter into or unwind various derivative transactions with respect to TTM’s common stock and purchase or sell TTM’s common stock in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period relating to the conversion of a note).
