OCLARO, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Basis of Presentation
Oclaro, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “Oclaro,” “we,” “us” or “our.”
On August 5, 2014, we entered into a separation agreement to sell our industrial and consumer business of Oclaro Japan located at our Komoro, Japan facility to Ushio Opto Semiconductors, Inc. ("Ushio Opto"). On October 27, 2014, the sale was completed. The transaction is more fully discussed in Note 5, Business Combinations and Dispositions .
On November 1, 2013, we sold our optical amplifier and micro-optics business (the “Amplifier Business”) to II-VI Incorporated (II-VI). The sale is more fully discussed in Note 5, Business Combinations and Dispositions . On September 12, 2013, we sold our Oclaro Switzerland GmbH subsidiary and associated laser diodes and pump business (the “Zurich Business”) to II-VI. The sale is more fully discussed in Note 5, Business Combinations and Dispositions . These sales are reported as discontinued operations, which require retrospective restatement of prior periods to classify the results of operations as discontinued operations. The notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to our continuing operations only, unless otherwise indicated.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Oclaro as of March 28, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of Oclaro and all of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by such accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and results of operations have been included. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending June 27, 2015 .
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2014 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of such date, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2014 (" 2014 Form 10-K").
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Examples of significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve the fair value of other intangible assets and long-lived assets, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of stock-based compensation, estimates used to determine facility lease loss liabilities, estimates for allowances for doubtful accounts and valuation of excess and obsolete inventories. These judgments can be subjective and complex and consequently actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. Descriptions of the key estimates and assumptions are included in our 2014 Form 10-K.
Out-of-Period Adjustment
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we recorded out-of-period adjustments of approximately $2.0 million in cost of goods sold in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The adjustments, which increased cost of goods sold, also increased accrued liabilities and decreased inventory, and were made to correct our inventory valuation and the value of our purchase commitment accrual.  We determined that the adjustments did not have a material impact to our current or prior period consolidated financial statements.

7



Fiscal Years
We operate on a 52/53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30. Our fiscal year ending June 27, 2015 will be a 52 week year, with the quarter ended March 28, 2015 being a 13 week quarterly period. Our fiscal year ended June 28, 2014 was a 52 week year, with the quarter ended March 29, 2014 being a 13 week quarterly period.
Reclassifications
For presentation purposes, we have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications did not affect our consolidated revenues, net income (loss), cash flows, cash and cash equivalents or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . Under ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs are required to be presented as a direct deduction of debt balances on the balance sheet. This new standard does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 will be effective on a retrospective basis, as a change in accounting principle, for years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on our financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items . This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Eliminating the extraordinary classification simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. This guidance is effective for us prospectively in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on our financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern. The update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. This guidance is effective for us beginning with our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2017, and interim periods thereafter. We are currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on our financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This update clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance is effective for us prospectively in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on our financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . This update requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's financial results be reported as discontinued operations. The standard also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The provisions of this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. We early adopted this guidance in our first quarter of fiscal year 2015. In accordance with this guidance, our sale of the Komoro Business does not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. We consider this sale as an individually material disposal and have expanded our disclosures related to this transaction, including presenting the pre-tax profit (loss) of the Komoro Business for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 and the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , respectively.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE
We define fair value as the estimated price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values:
Level 1-
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2-
Inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices of identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

11



Level 3-
Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our cash equivalents are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most marketable securities and money market securities.
The contingent obligation related to the make-whole premium on our 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes was valued using a binomial lattice valuation model which estimated the value based on the probability and timing of conversion. As of February 19, 2015, the date of the debt issuance, and as of March 28, 2015, the fair value of this contingent obligation is estimated at 0 . The contingent obligation will continue to be revalued each reporting period and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are shown in the table below by their corresponding balance sheet caption and consisted of the following types of instruments at March 28, 2015 :

NOTE 5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Sale of Komoro, Japan Industrial and Consumer Business ("Komoro Business")
On August 5, 2014, Oclaro Japan, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Oclaro Japan”), entered into a Master Separation Agreement (“MSA”) with Ushio Opto and Ushio, Inc. (“Ushio”), whereby Ushio Opto agreed to acquire the industrial and consumer business of Oclaro Japan located at its Komoro, Japan facility (the “Komoro Business”), by means of an absorption-type demerger under the Japanese Companies Act. On October 27, 2014, the sale was completed. Initial consideration for this transaction consisted of 1.85 billion Japanese yen (approximately $17.1 million based on the exchange rate on October 27, 2014) in cash, of which 1.6 billion Japanese yen (approximately $14.8 million based on the exchange rate on October 27, 2014) was paid at the closing and 250 million Japanese yen (approximately $2.1 million based on the exchange rate on April 24, 2015) was paid into escrow and was released to Oclaro Japan on April 24, 2015. In addition, under the MSA, we are subject to a post-closing net asset valuation adjustment. We determined that based on the net assets transferred to Ushio Opto during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we owed Ushio Opto a post-closing net asset valuation adjustment of $1.4 million , which was paid to Ushio Opto in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015.
In connection with the sale of the Komoro Business, we transferred net assets with a book value of $6.3 million to Ushio Opto, consisting of $3.4 million in accounts receivable, $4.6 million in inventories, $0.9 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $3.7 million in property, plant and equipment, $4.4 million in other intangible assets, $5.9 million in accounts payable, $2.9 million in accrued expenses, other liabilities and capital lease obligations, and $1.9 million in other non-current liabilities. We also incurred $1.0 million in legal fees and other administrative costs related to this transaction. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the transfer of net assets was complete and we recognized a gain of $8.3 million within restructuring, acquisition and related (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
At the closing of the transaction, Oclaro Japan and Ushio Opto entered into certain transition services and reciprocal services agreements to allow the Komoro Business to continue operations during the ownership transition, as well as an intellectual

12



property agreement. Ushio has guaranteed the performance of Ushio Opto’s obligations under the MSA. Oclaro Japan, Ushio Opto and Ushio each provided customary and reciprocal representations, warranties and covenants in the MSA.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes attributable to the Komoro Business was $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 (up through October 27, 2014, the date the sale was completed), and $1.6 million and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , respectively.
Sale of Amplifier Business
On October 10, 2013, Oclaro Technology Limited entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with II-VI, whereby Oclaro Technology Limited agreed to sell to II-VI and certain of its affiliates its Amplifier Business for $88.6 million in cash. The transaction closed on November 1, 2013. Consideration, valued initially at $88.6 million , consisted of $79.6 million in cash, which was received on November 1, 2013, $4.0 million which was subject to hold-back by II-VI until December 31, 2014 to address any post-closing claims and $5.0 million related to the exclusive option, which was received on September 12, 2013 and was credited against the purchase price upon closing of the sale. On December 30, 2014, Oclaro Technology Limited entered into a Settlement Agreement with II-VI and II-VI Holdings B.V. regarding disposition of the amounts held back by the II-VI parties pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Of the $4.0 million subject to hold-back until December 31, 2014, we received $0.9 million in January 2015 and we released II-VI from the remaining $3.1 million . We recorded the $3.1 million release of the hold-back as a loss from discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015. In connection with the Settlement Agreement, we also agreed with the II-VI parties to a mutual release of certain claims related to the Asset Purchase Agreement, and certain related documents and transactions.
We classified the sale of our Amplifier Business as a discontinued operation as of September 12, 2013, the date we committed to sell the business.

Sale of Zurich Business
On September 12, 2013, we completed a Share and Asset Purchase Agreement with II-VI, pursuant to which we sold our Oclaro Switzerland GmbH subsidiary and associated laser diodes and pump business to II-VI. Also, as part of the agreement, II-VI purchased certain pieces of equipment which are located in our Caswell facility. We continue to operate this equipment on behalf of II-VI, and provide certain wafer processing services in Caswell as part of an ongoing manufacturing services agreement.
We received proceeds of $90.6 million in cash on September 12, 2013, and $2.9 million in cash during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 which related to a final settlement of the post-closing working capital adjustment. We were also scheduled to receive an additional  $6.0 million subject to hold-back by II-VI until December 31, 2014 to address any post-closing adjustments or claims. On December 30, 2014, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with II-VI and II-VI Holdings B.V. regarding disposition of the amounts held back by the II-VI parties pursuant to the Share and Asset Purchase Agreement. Of the $6.0 million subject to hold-back until December 31, 2014, we received $1.4 million in January 2015 and we released II-VI from the remaining $4.6 million . We recorded the $4.6 million release of the hold-back as a loss from discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015. In connection with the

13



Settlement Agreement, we also agreed with the II-VI parties to a mutual release of certain claims related to the Share and Asset Purchase Agreement, and certain related documents and transactions.
We classified the sale of our Zurich Business as a discontinued operation as of September 12, 2013.

NOTE 6. CREDIT LINE AND NOTES
6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 ("6.00% Notes")
On February 12, 2015, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Jefferies LLC (the “Initial Purchaser”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to the Initial Purchaser up to $65.0 million in aggregate principal Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “ 6.00% Notes”). On February 19, 2015, we closed the private placement of $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.00% Notes. The 6.00% Notes were sold at 100 percent of par, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $61.6 million , after deducting the Initial Purchaser’s discounts of $3.4 million . We also incurred offering expenses of $0.6 million . The net proceeds of this offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital for, among other things, investing in development of new products and technologies.
The Notes will mature on February 15, 2020 and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.00 percent per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2015. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015, we recorded $0.5 million in interest expense related to these 6.00% Notes.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which we, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The 6.00% Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated February 19, 2015 (the “Indenture”), entered into between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Indenture contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limits our ability to incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; create liens; sell or otherwise dispose of substantially all of our assets; and enter into mergers and consolidations. The Indenture also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the Trustee or the holders of the 6.00% Notes may declare all outstanding 6.00% Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Prior to February 15, 2018, in the event that the last reported sale price of our common stock for 20 or more trading days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending within five trading days immediately prior to the date we receive a notice of conversion exceeds the conversion price in effect on each such trading day, we will, in addition to delivering shares upon conversion by the holder of 6.00% Notes, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, make an interest make-whole payment in cash equal to the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the 6.00% Notes to be converted through February 15, 2018.
Any holder that converts its 6.00% Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the Indenture, will not receive the interest make-whole payment but will instead receive the additional shares set forth in the Indenture.
Prior to February 15, 2018, we may not redeem the 6.00% Notes. On or after February 15, 2018, we may redeem for cash all of the 6.00% Notes if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock has been at least 130 percent of the conversion

14



price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading-day period ending within five trading days prior to the date on which we provide notice of redemption. The redemption price will equal (i) 100 percent of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date plus (iii) the sum of the present values of each of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the 6.00% Notes to be redeemed had such 6.00% Notes remained outstanding from the redemption date to the maturity date (excluding interest accrued to, but excluding, the redemption date that is otherwise paid pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (ii)).
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, subject to certain conditions, each holder of the 6.00% Notes will have the option to require that we purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the 6.00% Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
Our contingent obligation to make a make-whole payment in the event of an early conversion by the holders of the 6.00% Notes, or at our election to redeem the 6.00% Notes for cash, are both considered embedded derivatives. As of February 19, 2015, the date of the debt issuance, and as of March 28, 2015, the fair value of the embedded derivatives is estimated at zero . The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined by using a binomial lattice approach to determine the probability and timing of a conversion or redemption.
On February 19, 2015, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Initial Purchaser to provide the holders of the 6.00% Notes with registration rights with respect to shares of common stock that have been issued upon conversion of the 6.00% Notes and are then outstanding, but only if Rule 144 under the Securities Act is unavailable to holders of the 6.00% Notes who are not affiliates of ours on and following the date that is six months after the original issuance date of the 6.00% Notes.
On February 19, 2015, we entered into a Consent and First Loan Modification Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). The Amendment modifies the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 28, 2014, by and among us, Oclaro Technology Limited and SVB to allow the cash payments provided for in the Indenture and the 6.00% Notes and include the 6.00% Notes as permitted indebtedness.

At March 28, 2015, the $3.3 million debt discount is recorded in convertible notes payable and the $0.6 million issuance costs are recorded within other non-current assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Silicon Valley Bank Credit Facility
On March 28, 2014, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) pursuant to which the Bank provided us with a three -year revolving credit facility of up to $40.0 million . Under the Loan Agreement, advances are available based on up to 80 percent of “eligible accounts” as defined in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement has a $10.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts and cash management services.
Borrowings made under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.25 percent or Wall Street Journal’s prime rate plus 1.00 percent . If the sum of (a) our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents that are subject to the Bank’s liens less (b) the amount outstanding to the Bank under the Loan Agreement (such sum being “Net Cash”) is less than $15.0 million , then the interest rates are increased by 0.75 percent until net cash exceeds $15.0 million for a calendar month. If interest paid under the Loan Agreement is less than $45,000 in any fiscal quarter, we are required to pay the Bank an additional amount equal to the difference between $45,000 and the actual interest paid during such fiscal quarter. The minimum interest payment is in lieu of a stand-by charge.
If the Loan Agreement terminates prior to its maturity date, we will pay a termination fee equal to 1.00 percent of the total credit facility if such termination occurs in the first year after closing, 0.75 percent of the total credit facility if such termination occurs in the second year after closing and 0.50 percent of the total credit facility if such termination occurs in the third year after closing. The maturity date of the Loan Agreement is March 28, 2017. At March 28, 2015 , there were no amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement is more fully discussed in Note 7, Credit Line and Notes , to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K.
Wells Fargo Credit Line and Term Loan
On August 2, 2006, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”) and certain other lenders (the “Credit Agreement”).
From time to time, we amended and restated the Credit Agreement, before terminating the agreement on March 14, 2014. The Credit Agreement is more fully discussed in Note 7, Credit Line and Notes , to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K.
7.50% Exchangeable Senior Secured Second Lien Notes ("7.50% Notes")
On December 14, 2012, we closed the private placement of $25.0 million aggregate principal amount 7.50 percent Exchangeable Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (“ 7.50% Notes”). The sale of the 7.50% Notes resulted in net proceeds of approximately $22.8 million . The private placement was completed pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated December 14, 2012 entered into by us, certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, which is more fully discussed in Note 7, Credit Line and Notes , to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K.
On December 19, 2013, the holders exercised their rights to exchange the 7.50% Notes for our common stock. The exchange rate for the exchanges was 541.7118 shares of common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of convertible notes. We issued 13,542,791 shares of common stock in connection with the exchange, with cash payable in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the convertible notes, we made a redemption exchange make-whole payment of $8.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.
Upon exchange of the convertible notes during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we recorded the remaining unamortized debt discount and issuance costs of $1.8 million in additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 7. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Switzerland Defined Benefit Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we sold our Zurich Business, and as part of the sale transferred our pension plan covering employees of our Swiss subsidiary (the “Swiss Plan”) to II-VI. At the end of our first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we had no remaining obligations under the Swiss Plan.
Japan Defined Contribution and Benefit Plan
In connection with our acquisition of Opnext, we assumed a defined contribution plan and a defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits to our employees in Japan.
Under the defined contribution plan, contributions are provided based on grade level and totaled $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , respectively. Employees can elect to receive the benefit as additional salary or contribute the benefit to the plan on a tax-deferred basis.

16



Under the defined benefit plan in Japan (the “Japan Plan”), we calculate benefits based on an employee’s individual grade level and years of service. Employees are entitled to a lump sum benefit upon retirement or upon certain instances of termination. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we sold our Komoro Business, and as part of the sale transferred a portion of our Japan Plan covering employees of the Komoro Business to Ushio Opto. As of March 28, 2015 , there were no plan assets associated with the Japan Plan. As of March 28, 2015 , there was $0.2 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities and $5.1 million in other non-current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 28, 2015 , to account for the projected benefit obligations under the Japan Plan. Net periodic pension costs for the Japan Plan included the following:

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we recorded an adjustment of $0.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with revising our methodology for estimating the actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits under the Japan Plan.
We made benefit payments under the Japan Plan of $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.4 million during the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , respectively.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Loss Contingencies
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We record a loss provision when we believe it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Guarantees
We indemnify our directors and certain employees as permitted by law, and have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. We have not recorded a liability associated with these indemnification arrangements, as we historically have not incurred any material costs associated with such indemnification obligations. Costs associated with such indemnification obligations may be mitigated by insurance coverage that we maintain, however, such insurance may not cover any, or may cover only a portion of, the amounts we may be required to pay. In addition, we may not be able to maintain such insurance coverage in the future.
We also have indemnification clauses in various contracts that we enter into in the normal course of business, such as indemnifications in favor of customers in respect of liabilities they may incur as a result of purchasing our products should such products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. We have not historically paid out any material amounts related to these indemnifications; therefore, no accrual has been made for these indemnifications.
Warranty Accrual
We generally provide a warranty for our products for twelve months to thirty-six months from the date of sale, although warranties for certain of our products may be longer. We accrue for the estimated costs to provide warranty services at the time revenue is recognized. Our estimate of costs to service our warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectation of future conditions. To the extent we experience increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, our warranty costs would increase, resulting in a decrease in gross profit.
The following table summarizes movements in the warranty accrual for the periods indicated:

Capital Leases
In connection with our acquisition of Opnext, we assumed certain capital leases with Hitachi Capital Corporation, a related party, for certain equipment. The terms of the leases generally range from one to five years and the equipment can be purchased at the residual value upon expiration. We can terminate the leases at our discretion in return for a penalty payment as stated in the lease contracts.

Litigation
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings, and we anticipate that additional actions will be brought against us in the future. The most significant of these proceedings are described below. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims in various jurisdictions. Complex legal proceedings frequently extend for several years, and a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process. As a result, some pending matters have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to determine whether the proceeding is material to us or to estimate a range of possible loss, if any. Unless otherwise disclosed, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss for the legal proceedings described below. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of these items, an adverse determination in one or more of these items currently pending could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Raysung Commercial Litigation
On October 23, 2013, Xi’an Raysung Photonics Inc., or Raysung, filed a civil suit against our wholly-owned subsidiary, Oclaro Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Bookham Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.), or Oclaro Shenzhen, in the Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court in Shaanxi Province of the People’s Republic of China, or the Xi’an Court. The complaint

18



filed by Raysung alleges that Oclaro Shenzhen terminated its purchase order pursuant to which Raysung had supplied certain products and was to supply certain products to Oclaro Shenzhen.
Raysung initially requested that the court award damages of RMB 4,796,531 (equivalent to approximately $0.8 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015 ), and requested that Oclaro Shenzhen take the finished products that are now stored in Raysung’s warehouse (the value of the finished product is RMB 13,505,162 (equivalent to approximately $2.2 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015 )) and requested that Oclaro Shenzhen pay its court fees in connection with this suit.
The Xi’an Court delivered an Asset Preservation Order which was served on Oclaro Shenzhen and the local Customs office. According to the Asset Preservation Order, Oclaro Shenzhen was ordered to maintain RMB 15,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $2.4 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015 ) or assets equivalent to the said amount during the litigation process, and the Customs office was ordered to restrict Oclaro Shenzhen's equipment from being exported before the Asset Preservation Order is lifted. On November 11, 2013, Oclaro Shenzhen entered into a settlement agreement. Under the terms of this settlement agreement, Oclaro Shenzhen agreed to pay $500,000 in payment of invoices for certain materials to Raysung and to work with Raysung to requalify it as a vendor for certain Oclaro Shenzhen manufacturing requirements, in consideration of which Raysung agreed to submit the settlement agreement to the Xi’an Court so it could issue a civil mediation agreement, apply for a discharge of the Asset Preservation Order and waive the right to bring any legal actions against Oclaro Shenzhen relating to these matters. Oclaro Shenzhen performed its obligations under the settlement agreement, however, on January 15, 2014, Raysung applied to the Xi’an Court to terminate the settlement agreement and add Oclaro, Inc. as a co-defendant in the original civil suit.
On March 26, 2014, the Xi’an Court froze RMB 15.0 million (equivalent to approximately $2.4 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015 ) of cash held in Oclaro Shenzhen’s bank account in China. On April 30, 2014, Oclaro Shenzhen submitted a challenge to the jurisdiction of the Xi'an Court. On May 26, 2014, the Xi'an Court overruled the jurisdictional challenge. On June 4, 2014, Oclaro Shenzhen filed an appeal with the Shaanxi High Court to revoke the civil order of the Xi'an Court overruling Oclaro Shenzhen's jurisdictional challenge. The Shaanxi High Court held hearings on July 15, 2014 and July 30, 2014, and on August 20, 2014 sustained the Xi'an Court's civil order on jurisdiction and transferred the case back to the Xi'an Court for substantive proceedings. On September 22, 2014, Raysung amended its complaint in the Xi'an Court proceeding by increasing its claims to RMB 36.2 million (equivalent to approximately $5.9 million at the exchange rate in effect on March 28, 2015 ). On October 22, 2014, the Xi'an Court conducted a hearing on the substantive elements of Raysung's claims. At the same hearing, Oclaro Shenzhen filed counterclaims against Raysung for RMB 7.4 million (equivalent to approximately $1.2 million at the exchange rate in effect on March 28, 2015 ) of losses resulting from supply of products with unqualified materials. On December 17, 2014, the Xi'an Court conducted a hearing on the substantive elements of each party's claims against the other party.
On April 2, 2015, the Xi'an Court released RMB 5.0 million of cash (equivalent to approximately $0.8 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015) previously frozen in Oclaro Shenzhen's bank account in exchange for a new lien on physical assets located at Oclaro Shenzhen's facility with an equivalent appraised value. The Asset Preservation Order is currently in effect until March 2016. On April 10, 2015, the Xi'an Court issued a decision, ruling that Oclaro Shenzhen should pay Raysung RMB 11.4 million (equivalent to approximately $1.9 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015). The Xi'an Court also dismissed Raysung's other claims and each of Oclaro Shenzhen's counterclaims. On April 24, 2015, Oclaro Shenzhen filed an appeal of the Xi'an Court decision with the Shaanxi High Court, on the basis of both factual and legal error in the underlying decision. As of May 7, 2015, no judge has been assigned to the appellate case and no hearing dates have been established. Oclaro, Inc. and Oclaro Shenzhen continue to believe that they have meritorious defenses to the claims made by Raysung and intend to defend this litigation vigorously.

NOTE 9. EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS

Stock Incentive Plans
On July 23, 2013, our board of directors approved the Fourth Amended and Restated 2001 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan and on January 14, 2014, our shareholders ratified this plan, establishing it as our primary equity incentive plan at that time. This plan (i) revised the eligibility section to allow us to make grants to all our employees, non-employee directors and consultants, (ii) allowed us to grant incentive stock options and awards which may be able to qualify as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, (iii) extended the term of the plan to ten years from the effective date of the plan (the plan expires in July 2023), and (iv) conformed the share counting provisions of the plan to provide that full value awards count as 1.25 shares for purposes of the plan.
On July 30, 2014, our board of directors approved the Fifth Amended and Restated 2001 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and on November 14, 2014, our shareholders ratified the Plan. The Plan amends and restates in its entirety the Fourth Amended and Restated 2001 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan (i) increases the number of shares of common stock

19



available for issuance by 6.0 million shares, (ii) consolidates the share reserve of the Plan with the share reserve of the Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan ("2004 Plan"), such that from November 14, 2014, no additional awards will be granted under the 2004 Plan, and (iii) establishes that full value awards count as 1.40 shares of common stock for purposes of the Plan.
As of March 28, 2015 , there were 9.0 million shares of our common stock available for grant under the Plan.
We generally grant stock options that vest over a two to four year service period, and restricted stock awards and units that vest over a one to four year service period, and in certain cases each may vest earlier based upon the achievement of specific performance-based objectives as set by our board of directors or the compensation committee of our board of directors.
In July 2011, our board of directors approved the grant of 0.2 million performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain executive officers with an aggregate estimated grant date fair value of $0.9 million . In October 2013, the board of directors determined that achievement of the performance conditions was reached at the 100 percent target level. Approximately 0.1 million of the grants outstanding, or 50 percent , vested on October 22, 2013, with the remaining 50 percent scheduled to vest upon a two -year service condition through August 2015. As of March 28, 2015 , there were minimal PSUs outstanding, after adjustments for forfeitures due to terminations, related to this grant, with a de minimis aggregate estimated grant date fair value.
In July 2012, our board of directors approved a grant of 0.6 million PSUs to certain executive officers, subject to shareholder approval of an amendment to our Plan. Prior to shareholder approval, approximately 0.4 million of the PSUs were forfeited as a result of certain executive officer departures. On January 14, 2014, shareholder approval was obtained at our annual general meeting of stockholders. These PSUs were scheduled to vest upon the achievement of certain adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets through June 30, 2014. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, it was determined that the performance conditions were not achieved, and the corresponding PSUs were forfeited.
In February 2014, our board of directors granted our chief executive officer 0.8 million restricted stock units ("RSUs") in satisfaction of the terms set forth in his employment agreement dated September 11, 2013. The RSUs vested in full on the date of grant, and settled on August 15, 2014. The RSUs had an aggregate grant date fair value of $2.0 million , which was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014.
In March 2014, our board of directors approved a grant of 0.2 million PSUs to certain executive officers with an aggregate estimated grant date fair value of $0.5 million . These PSUs vest upon the achievement of non-GAAP operating income break-even for calendar year 2015. Vesting is also contingent upon service conditions being met through February 2018. If the performance condition is not achieved, then the corresponding PSUs will be forfeited in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. As of March 28, 2015 , there were 0.1 million PSUs outstanding, after adjustments for forfeitures due to terminations, related to this grant, with an aggregate estimated grant date fair value of $0.4 million . During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we determined that the achievement of the performance conditions associated with these PSUs was improbable. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we reversed approximately $0.1 million in previously recognized stock-based compensation expense related to these PSUs.
In August 2014, our board of directors approved a grant of 0.5 million PSUs to certain executive officers with an aggregate estimated grant date fair value of $0.9 million . These PSUs will vest at 100 percent upon the achievement of two consecutive quarters with positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization on or before the end of our fiscal year 2017. If the performance condition is not achieved, then the corresponding PSUs will be forfeited in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.
In August 2014, our board of directors approved a retention grant of 0.4 million RSUs to certain of our executives, which vest over three years . In September 2014, our board of directors also approved a retention grant of 1.4 million RSUs to other employees, which vest over two years .

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on the closing price of our common stock of $1.95 on March 27, 2015, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. There were less than 0.1 million shares of common stock subject to in-the-money options which were exercisable as of March 28, 2015 . We settle employee stock option exercises with newly issued shares of common stock.

NOTE 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We recognize stock-based compensation expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to all share-based awards, including grants of stock options, based on the grant date fair value of such share-based awards. Estimating the grant date fair value of such share-based awards requires us to make judgments in the determination of inputs into the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model which we use to arrive at an estimate of the grant date fair value for such awards. The assumptions used in this model to value stock option grants were as follows:

As of March 28, 2015 and June 28, 2014 , we had capitalized approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million , respectively, of stock-based compensation as inventory.
Included in stock based-compensation for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, is approximately $2.0 million in compensation cost related to the grant of 0.8 million RSUs to our chief executive officer on February 10, 2014, which vested in full on the grant date.
As of March 28, 2015 , we had $0.5 million in unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years , and $6.1 million in unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards, net of estimated forfeitures, that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years .
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in any one period related to PSUs can vary based on the achievement or anticipated achievement of the performance conditions. If the performance conditions are not met or not expected be met, no compensation cost would be recognized on the underlying PSUs, and any previously recognized compensation expense related to those PSUs would be reversed. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we determined that the achievement of the performance conditions associated with the PSUs granted in March 2014 was improbable. We reversed approximately $0.1 million in previously recognized stock-based compensation expense related to these PSUs.
During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , we recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million in stock-based compensation in connection with the issuance of the PSUs from July 2011, March 2014 and August 2014. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we recorded minimal stock-based compensation expense in connection with the issuance of the PSUs from July 2011 and March 2014.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES
The income tax benefit of $0.5 million and income tax provision of $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , respectively, and the income tax provision of $0.7 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , respectively, relates primarily to our foreign operations.
The total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits as of March 28, 2015 and June 28, 2014 were approximately $3.6 million and $4.2 million , respectively. As of March 28, 2015 , we had $3.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe that unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $1.0 million in the next twelve months.
On December 19, 2014, the President of the U.S. signed into law The Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which retroactively extends more than 50 expired tax provisions through 2014. Among the extended provisions is the Sec. 41 research credit for qualified research expenditures incurred through the end of 2014. The benefit of the reinstated credit did not impact the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period of enactment, which was the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, as the research and development credit carryforwards are offset by a full valuation allowance.

NOTE 12. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using only the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable period, while diluted net income (loss) per share is computed assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible notes during such period.
For the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , we excluded 22.4 million and 13.5 million , respectively, of outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, unvested restricted stock awards and shares issuable in connection with convertible notes from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we excluded 10.6 million and 13.5 million , respectively, of outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, warrants, shares issuable in connections with convertible notes and unvested restricted stock awards from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 19, 2015, we closed the private placement of $65.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes ("6.00% Notes"). The 6.00% Notes were sold at 100 percent of par, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $61.6 million , after deducting the Initial Purchaser’s discounts. We also incurred offering expenses of $0.6 million . We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital for, among other things, investing in development of new products and technologies.
On December 30, 2014, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with II-VI Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (“II-VI”) and II-VI Holdings B.V., a Netherlands corporation (“II-VI B.V.,” and together with II-VI, the "II-VI Parties"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of II-VI, regarding disposition of the amounts held back by the II-VI Parties pursuant to the Share and Asset Purchase Agreement between Oclaro Technology and II-VI B.V. (as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 17, 2013) and pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement between Oclaro Technology and II-VI (as previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 11, 2013) (the “Settlement Agreement”). Of the $10.0 million aggregate holdback, a total of $2.35 million was paid to us in January 2015 and a total of $7.65 million was released to II-VI Holdings B.V. We and the II-VI Parties also agreed to a mutual release of certain claims related to the Share and Asset Purchase Agreement, the Asset Purchase Agreement and certain related documents and transactions. This transaction is more fully discussed in Note 5, Business Combinations and Dispositions .

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On September 12, 2013 we completed a Share and Asset Purchase Agreement with II-VI for the sale of our Zurich Business. On October 10, 2013, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with II-VI for the sale of our Amplifier Business, which subsequently closed on November 1, 2013. We have classified the financial results of the Zurich and Amplifier Businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

For the nine months ended March 28, 2015 , three customers accounted for 10 percent or more of our revenues, representing approximately 22 percent , 14 percent and 10 percent of our revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended March 29, 2014 , three customers accounted for 10 percent or more of our revenues, representing approximately 18 percent , 13 percent and 10 percent of our revenues, respectively.

Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated as revenues less cost of revenues. Gross margin rate is gross profit reflected as a percentage of revenues.
Our cost of revenues consists of the costs associated with manufacturing our products, and includes the purchase of raw materials, labor costs and related overhead, including stock-based compensation charges and the costs charged by our contract manufacturers for the products they manufacture for us. Charges for excess and obsolete inventory are also included in cost of revenues. Costs and expenses related to our manufacturing resources incurred in connection with the development of new products are included in research and development expenses.
Our gross margin rate increased to approximately 15 percent for the three months ended March 28, 2015 , compared to 12 percent for the three months ended March 29, 2014 . A better product mix of higher margin 100 Gb/s products and favorable foreign currency exchange movements contributed approximately 7 percentage points of improvement. This improvement was partially offset by a 4 percentage point decrease due to the absence of relatively higher margin industrial and consumer products as a result of the sale of our Komoro Business in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.
Our gross margin rate increased to approximately 16 percent for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 , compared to 13 percent for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 . A better product mix of higher margin 100 Gb/s products and favorable foreign currency exchange movements contributed approximately 5 percentage points of improvement. These improvements were offset by a 1 percentage point decrease resulting from out-of-period adjustments made to correct our inventory valuation and purchase commitment accrual, and a 1 percentage point decrease due to the absence of relatively higher margin industrial and consumer products as a result of the sale of our Komoro Business in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of employees engaged in research and design activities, including stock-based compensation charges related to those employees, costs of design tools and computer hardware, costs related to prototyping and facilities costs for certain research and development focused sites.
Research and development expenses decreased to $11.7 million for the three months ended March 28, 2015 , from $14.6 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014 . The decline was primarily related to a decrease of $1.3 million from the sale of our Komoro Business in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, a decrease of $1.2 million related to the impact of the Japanese yen, British pound, and Euro weakening relative to the U.S. dollar, and a decrease of $0.8 million as a result of our restructuring plan which was initiated during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in stock compensation charges and variable compensation.
Research and development expenses decreased to $37.4 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 from $49.1 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 . The decline was primarily related to a decrease of $6.7 million as a result of our restructuring plan which was initiated during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, a decrease of $2.1 million related to the impact of the Japanese yen, British pound, and Euro weakening relative to the U.S. dollar, a decrease of $1.9 million related to the sale of our Komoro Business in the first month of the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, and a decrease of $1.4 million related to our decision to no longer develop the WSS product line. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in stock compensation charges and variable compensation.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation charges related to employees engaged in sales, general and administrative functions, legal and professional fees, facilities expenses, insurance expenses and certain information technology costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $12.0 million for the three months ended March 28, 2015 , from $17.4 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014 . The decline was primarily related to a decrease of $1.7 million in stock compensation costs compared to the prior year primarily due to a grant of 0.8 million RSUs to our chief executive officer in fiscal year 2014 that vested in full on grant date, a decrease of $1.2 million related to the impact of the Japanese yen, British pound and Euro weakening relative to the U.S. dollar, a decrease of $0.7 million related to the sale of our Komoro Business in the the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, a decrease of $0.6 million as a result of our restructuring plan which was initiated

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $41.1 million for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 , from $56.9 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 . The decline was primarily related to a decrease of $7.5 million as a result of our restructuring plan which was initiated during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, a decrease of $3.3 million in audit and legal costs, a decrease of $1.5 million related to the impact of the Japanese yen, British pound and Euro weakening relative to the U.S. dollar, a decrease of $1.3 million in stock compensation costs compared to the prior year primarily related to a grant of 0.8 million RSUs to our chief executive officer in fiscal year 2014 that vested in full on grant date, a decrease of $1.1 million related to the sale of our Komoro Business in the first month of the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, and a decrease of $0.8 million related to variable compensation.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets
Amortization of other intangible assets declined during the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 as compared to the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , mostly due to the sale of our Komoro business.
With the sale of our Komoro Business, we expect the amortization of intangible assets to be $1.0 million for fiscal year 2015, $0.8 million for each fiscal year 2016 through 2017, $0.7 million for fiscal year 2018, $0.1 million for fiscal year 2019 and $0.1 million thereafter, based on the current level of our other intangible assets as of March 28, 2015 .

Restructuring, Acquisition and Related Costs
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we completed the sale of our Komoro Business to Ushio Opto, and recognized a gain of $8.3 million within restructuring, acquisition and related (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we initiated a restructuring plan to simplify our operating footprint, reduce our cost structure and focus our research and development investment in the optical communications market where we can leverage our core competencies. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , we recorded restructuring charges of $1.5 million and $1.7 million , respectively, in connection with this restructuring plan. The restructuring charges for the three months ended March 28, 2015 relate to workforce reductions. The restructuring charges for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 include $1.8 million related to workforce reductions and a $0.1 million reversal of restructuring charges related to revised estimates for lease cancellations and commitments. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , we made scheduled payments of $0.3 million and $2.0 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we recorded restructuring charges of $2.2 million and $8.0 million , respectively, in connection with this restructuring plan. The restructuring charges during the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 related primarily to workforce reductions. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we made scheduled payments of $4.2 million and $7.3 million , respectively, to settle a portion of these restructuring liabilities. As of March 28, 2015 , we had $1.7 million in accrued restructuring liabilities related to this restructuring plan.
In connection with the acquisition of Opnext, we initiated a restructuring plan to integrate our acquisition of Opnext. We recorded no restructuring charges related to this plan during the current year. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we recorded restructuring charges of zero and $1.1 million , respectively, in connection with this restructuring plan. The restructuring charges recorded in fiscal year 2014 included $0.9 million in external consulting charges and professional fees associated with reorganizing the infrastructure and $0.1 million in revised estimates related to lease cancellations and commitments. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we made scheduled payments of $0.2 million and $2.2 million , respectively, to settle these restructuring liabilities. As of March 28, 2015 , we had no further accrued restructuring liabilities related to this restructuring plan.
During fiscal year 2012, we initiated a restructuring plan in connection with the transfer of a portion of our Shenzhen, China manufacturing operations to Venture Corporation Limited ("Venture"). This transition occurred in a phased and gradual transfer of certain products and was recently completed. In connection with this transition, during the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , we recorded restructuring charges related to employee separation charges of $0.8 million and $2.6 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , we made scheduled payments of $0.2 million and $2.3 million , respectively, to settle a portion of these restructuring liabilities. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we recorded restructuring charges related to employee separation charges of $0.9 million and $2.7 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we made scheduled payments of $1.5 million and $3.8 million , respectively, to settle a portion of these restructuring liabilities. As of March 28, 2015 , we had $0.7 million in accrued restructuring liabilities related to this restructuring plan.

We expect to incur an additional $3.0 million to $5.0 million , in aggregate, in restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 in connection with these restructuring plans.

Flood-related (Income) Expense, Net
In October 2011, certain areas in Thailand suffered major flooding as a result of monsoons. This flooding had a material and adverse impact on our business. During the three months ended March 29, 2014 , we recorded $1.7 million in flood-related income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, primarily relating to insurance settlement proceeds received in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014. During the nine months ended March 29, 2014 , we recorded $1.8 million in flood-related income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, primarily consisting of $3.7 million in insurance settlement proceeds received in the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2014, partially offset by an out-of-period adjustment of $2.0 million related to the impairment of leased assets assumed pursuant to the Opnext merger that had been damaged by the flooding.

Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) was $2.7 million in income for the three months ended March 28, 2015 as compared to $0.5 million in income for the three months ended March 29, 2014 . This change in other income (expense) primarily related to a $2.3 million increase in foreign currency transaction gains during the three months ended March 28, 2015 , as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2014 , related to the revaluation of our U.S. dollar denominated balances in our U.K. and Japan subsidiaries. Also, other income increased by $0.4 million mainly due to the receipt of a royalty settlement in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in interest expense mainly related to the issuance of our convertible notes in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
Other income (expense) was $0.7 million in income for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 as compared to $9.1 million in expense for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 . This change in other income (expense) primarily related to a $8.3 million decrease in interest expense related to the redemption exchange make-whole payment for the conversion of the convertible notes into common stock in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. The change in other income (expense) also included a $0.7 million improvement in foreign currency transaction gains during the nine months ended March 28, 2015 , as compared to the nine months ended March 29, 2014 , related to the revaluation of our U.S. dollar denominated balances in our U.K. and Japan subsidiaries.

Income Tax (Benefit) Provision
The income tax benefit of $0.5 million and income tax provision of $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , respectively, and the income tax provision of $0.7 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 , respectively, relates primarily to our foreign operations.
The total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits as of March 28, 2015 and June 28, 2014 were approximately $3.6 million and $4.2 million , respectively. As of March 28, 2015 , we had $3.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe that unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $1.0 million in the next twelve months.
On December 19, 2014, the President of the United States signed into law The Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which retroactively extends more than 50 expired tax provisions through 2014. Among the extended provisions is the Sec. 41 research credit for qualified research expenditures incurred through the end of 2014. The benefit of the reinstated credit did not impact the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period of enactment, which was the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, as the research and development credit carryforwards are offset by a full valuation allowance.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
During the nine months ended March 28, 2015 , we recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $8.5 million related to the sale of the Zurich and Amplifier Businesses. This loss primarily related to the release of hold-back payments due from II-VI and II-VI Holdings B.V. On December 30, 2014, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with II-VI and II-VI Holdings B.V. regarding disposition of the amounts held back by the II-VI parties pursuant to the Share and Asset Purchase Agreements. Of the $10.0 million subject to hold-back until December 31, 2014, we received $2.35 million in January 2015 and we released II-VI from the remaining $7.65 million . We recorded the $7.65 million release of the hold-backs as a loss from discontinued operations within the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended March 28, 2015 . In connection with the Settlement Agreement, we also agreed with the II-VI parties to a mutual release of certain claims related to the Share and Asset Purchase Agreements, and certain related documents and transactions.
During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, we recorded a loss of $0.6 million and a gain of $69.1 million , respectively, related to the sale of the Amplifier Business. During the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, we recorded a gain on the sale of the Zurich Business of $0.4 million and $63.2 million , respectively. During the three months ended March 29, 2014, we recorded a loss from discontinued operations of the Zurich and Amplifier Businesses of $0.3 million and during the nine months ended March 29, 2014, we recorded income from discontinued operations of $132.7 million .

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
See Note 2, Recent Accounting Standards , to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding the effect of new accounting pronouncements on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and other financial information. Actual results may differ significantly from those based on our estimates and judgments or could be materially different if we used different assumptions, estimates or conditions. In addition, our financial condition and results of operations could vary due to a change in the application of a particular accounting policy.
We identified our critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2014 (2014 Form 10-K) related to revenue recognition and sales returns, inventory valuation, business combinations, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, accounting for stock-based compensation and income taxes. It is important that the discussion of our operating results be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies discussed in our 2014 Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the discussion below on cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities have not been adjusted for the effects of the discontinued operations.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 was $39.3 million , primarily resulting from a net loss of $42.8 million and a $14.3 million decrease in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by non-cash adjustments of $17.9 million . The $14.3 million decrease in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities was comprised of a $7.9 million increase in accounts receivable attributable to timing of payments from a significant customer, $8.4 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $4.6 million increase in inventories resulting from the receipt of inventory intended for sale in future quarters, and a $0.9 million increase in other non-current assets, partially offset by a $7.0 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a $0.5 million increase in accounts payable largely attributable to the timing of purchases and payments to vendors. The $17.9 million increase in cash resulting from non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of $14.1 million in depreciation and amortization, a $7.7 million loss from discontinued operations related to a Settlement Agreement that releases II-VI and II-VI Holdings B.V. from making certain hold-back payments due in connection with the sale of the Zurich and Amplifier Businesses, $4.6 million of expense related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by an $8.3 million gain in connection with the sale of the Komoro Business in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 and $0.7 million from the amortization of a deferred gain from a sales-leaseback transaction in Caswell, U.K.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 was $65.4 million, primarily resulting from non-cash adjustments of $100.3 million and a $7.0 million decrease in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by net income of $41.8 million. The $100.3 million decrease in cash resulting from non-cash adjustments primarily consisted of a $69.1 million gain on the sale of the Amplifier Business, a $63.2 million gain on the sale of the Zurich Business, $1.6 million from the amortization of deferred gain from sales-leaseback transactions, partially offset by $21.6 million in depreciation and amortization, $5.0 million of expense related to stock-based compensation, $4.3 million related to the amortization and write-off of the issuance costs of the term loan and $2.0 million related to non-cash flood-related impairments. The $7.0 million decrease in cash due to changes in operating assets and liabilities was comprised of a $20.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $15.2 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $8.3 million decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by a $32.1 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $4.1 million decrease in inventories and a $1.3 million decrease in other non-current assets.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 was $2.0 million , primarily consisting of proceeds from the sale of the Komoro Business of $12.3 million , net of deal related costs, $2.4 million related to the receipt of hold-back payments from II-VI in connection with the sale of the Amplifier and Zurich Businesses, $0.9 million reduction in restricted cash and $0.1 million related to the sale of short-term investments, partially offset by $13.8 million used in capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 was $172.3 million, primarily consisting of $93.5 million proceeds from the sale of Zurich Business, $84.6 million from the sale of the Amplifier Business, and $2.1 million from the sale of certain assets, which were partially offset by $6.1 million used in capital expenditures and a $1.9 million increase in restricted cash.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 28, 2015 was $58.7 million , primarily consisting of $61.6 million proceeds from the sale of convertible notes, partially offset by $3.0 million in payments on capital lease obligations.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 was $71.1 million, primarily consisting of $65.0 million in repayments on a term loan and our revolving credit facility, and $6.1 million in payments on capital lease obligations.
Credit Line and Notes
On February 19, 2015, we closed a private placement of $65.0 million in aggregate principal Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “6.00% Notes”). The sale of the 6.00% Notes resulted in proceeds of approximately $61.6 million, after deducting the discount. We also incurred offering costs of $0.6 million in connection with the 6% Notes. As of March 28, 2015 , the net carrying value of the liability component was $61.7 million and the unamortized value of the discount was $3.3 million . Interest on the 6.00% Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on

Table of Contents


August 15, 2015. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015, we recorded $0.5 million in interest expense related to these 6.00% Notes. See Note 6, Credit Line and Notes , for additional information regarding the 6.00% Notes.
As of March 28, 2015 , we had a $40.0 million revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. As of March 28, 2015 , there were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility. See Note 6, Credit Line and Notes , for additional information regarding this credit facility.
Future Cash Requirements
As of March 28, 2015 , we held $123.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, comprised of $119.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.1 million in restricted cash (excluding $0.2 million of restricted cash in other non-current assets); and we had working capital of $197.1 million .
On October 27, 2014, we completed the sale of our Komoro Business. We received 1.6 billion Japanese yen (approximately $14.8 million based on the exchange rate on October 27, 2014) at the closing and expect to receive an additional 250 million Japanese yen (approximately $2.1 million ), which was paid into escrow and released to Oclaro Japan on April 24, 2015.
Based on our current cash and cash equivalent balances, together with our existing credit facility, we believe that we have sufficient funds to support our operations through the next 12 months, including costs associated with the implementation of our restructuring activities.
In the event we need additional liquidity beyond our current expectations, such as to fund future growth or strengthen our balance sheet or to fund the cost of restructuring activities, we may find it necessary to lower our operating income break-even level and undertake additional cost cutting measures. We will continue to explore other sources of additional liquidity. These additional sources of liquidity could include one, or a combination, of the following: (i) issuing equity securities, (ii) incurring indebtedness secured by our assets, (iii) issuing debt and/or convertible debt securities, or (iv) selling product lines, other assets and/or portions of our business. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
We have incurred significant operating losses from continuing operations and generated negative cash flows from operations for fiscal year 2014 and for the nine months ended March 28, 2015. Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon us having sufficient resources to operate our business. In addition to the availability of our cash resources as of March 28, 2015 , the continued operation of our business is dependent upon our achieving cash flows expected to be generated from the execution of our current operating plan, including anticipated restructuring plans, together with amounts expected to be available under our Credit Agreement. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.
In addition, we have been operating in China for an extended period of time and have accumulated significant intercompany balances with our related entities. Our ability to repay or collect these balances may be restricted by Chinese laws and, as a result, we may be unable to successfully pay down or collect on these balances. As a consequence, we may be assessed additional taxes in China if we are unable to claim bad debt deductions or incur debt forgiveness income from the cancellation of these intercompany balances. Additionally, if we are found not to have complied with the various local laws surrounding cross border payments, we may incur penalties and fines for non-compliance. Any such taxes, penalties and/or fines could be significant in amount and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, including our cash and cash equivalent balances.
For additional information on the risks we face related to future cash requirements, see Item 1A. Risk Factors under “— Risks Related to Our Business — We have a history of large operating losses and we may not be able to achieve profitability in the future and maintain sufficient levels of liquidity,” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of March 28, 2015 , $ 43.8 million of the $123.9 million of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds are needed for our operations in the United States, we could be required to accrue and pay foreign withholding taxes to repatriate these funds. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S., except for our Shanghai, China; Korean; Swiss, Luxembourg, Israel and Japanese entities where closure follows our decision to exit certain businesses in fiscal year 2015.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We indemnify our directors and certain employees as permitted by law, and have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. We have not recorded a liability associated with these indemnification arrangements, as we historically have not incurred any material costs associated with such indemnification obligations. Costs associated with such indemnification obligations may be mitigated by insurance coverage that we maintain, however, such insurance may not cover any, or may cover only a portion of, the amounts we may be required to pay. In addition, we may not be able to maintain such insurance coverage in the future.

33

Table of Contents


We also have indemnification clauses in various contracts that we enter into in the normal course of business, such as indemnification in favor of customers in respect of liabilities they may incur as a result of purchasing our products should such products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. We have not historically paid out any material amounts related to these indemnifications; therefore, no accrual has been made for these indemnifications.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2014 , which is incorporated herein by reference. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since June 28, 2014 .
INTEREST RATES
We finance our operations through a mixture of issuances of equity securities, finance leases, working capital and by drawing on our Credit Agreement. We have exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our cash deposits and for amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement, convertible notes and through our capital leases. At March 28, 2015 , there were no amounts outstanding under our credit facility, $65.0 million of convertible notes with an interest rate of 6.0 percent and $5.6 million outstanding under capital leases. An increase in our average interest rate by 1.0 percent would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $0.7 million .
We monitor our interest rate risk on cash balances primarily through cash flow forecasting. Cash that is surplus to immediate requirements is invested in short-term deposits with banks accessible with one day’s notice and invested in overnight money market accounts. We believe our current interest rate risk is immaterial.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
As our business is multinational in scope, we are subject to fluctuations based upon changes in the exchange rates between the currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses. We expect that a majority of our revenues will continue to be denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of our expenses will continue to be denominated in U.K. pounds sterling and the Japanese yen. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, the U.K. pound sterling, the Japanese yen and, to a lesser extent, other currencies in which we collect revenues and pay expenses could affect our operating results. This includes the Chinese yuan and the Euro in which we pay expenses in connection with operating our facilities in Shenzhen and Shanghai, China; and San Donato, Italy. To the extent the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and these currencies were to fluctuate more significantly than experienced to date, our exposure would increase.
As of March 28, 2015 , our U.K. subsidiary had $2.0 million , net, in U.S. dollar denominated operating intercompany payables, $27.8 million in U.S. dollar denominated accounts receivable, net of accounts payable, related to sales to external customers and purchases from suppliers, and $8.0 million in U.S. dollar denominated cash accounts. It is estimated that a 10 percent fluctuation in the U.S. dollar relative to the U.K. pound sterling would lead to a profit of $3.4 million (U.S. dollar strengthening), or loss of $3.4 million (U.S. dollar weakening) on the translation of these receivables and other cash balances, which would be recorded as gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
As of March 28, 2015 , our Japan subsidiary had $47.5 million , net, in U.S. dollar denominated operating intercompany payables, $7.5 million in U.S. dollar denominated accounts payable, net of accounts receivable, related to sales to external customers and purchases from suppliers, and $21.1 million in U.S. dollar denominated cash accounts. It is estimated that a 10 percent fluctuation in the U.S. dollar relative to the Japanese yen would lead to a profit of $3.4 million (U.S. dollar weakening), or loss of $3.4 million (U.S. dollar strengthening) on the translation of these balances, which would be recorded as gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
BANK LIQUIDITY RISK
As of  March 28, 2015 , we have approximately  $119.8 million  in operating accounts that are held with domestic and international financial institutions. These cash balances could be lost or become inaccessible if the underlying financial institutions fail or if they are unable to meet the liquidity requirements of their depositors and they are not supported by the national government of the country in which such financial institution is located. Notwithstanding, we have not incurred any losses and have had full access to our operating accounts to date. See Note 3, Balance Sheet Details. We believe any failures of domestic and international financial institutions could impact our ability to fund our operations in the short term.
HEDGING PROGRAM
We are currently party to foreign currency forward contracts in an effort to mitigate a portion of our exposure to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen and between the U.S. dollar and the U.K. pound sterling. We do not currently hedge our exposure to the Chinese yuan or the Euro, but we may in the future if conditions warrant. We also do not currently hedge our exposure related to our U.S. dollar denominated intercompany payables and receivables. We may be required to convert currencies to meet our obligations. Under certain circumstances, foreign currency forward contracts can have an adverse effect on our financial condition. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2015 , we entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which expired in the same fiscal quarter in which they were opened. In connection with these hedges, during the three and nine

35

Table of Contents


months ended March 28, 2015 , we recorded a $0.1 million loss and a $0.6 million loss, respectively, in gain (loss) in foreign currency transactions, net within our condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of March 28, 2015 , we did not have any outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 28, 2015 . The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 28, 2015 , our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2014 , we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting such that our processes, procedures, and controls related to the review and analysis of inventory and property and equipment were not effective to ensure that certain amounts related to these financial statement accounts were accurately reported in a timely manner. Over the past three quarters, we have implemented several measures, including new comprehensive global inventory policies and procedures to ensure inventory is valued timely and accurately. We have also assigned new personnel to inventory accounting roles that have the experience and expertise to ensure control deficiencies do not reoccur. In addition, we have developed a global fixed asset policy which established requirements and guidelines for the performance of physical counts and valuation of fixed assets. Pursuant to this new policy, we will perform a full fixed asset count in fiscal year 2015. We have also taken steps to ensure that personnel assigned to fixed asset accounting roles have the experience and expertise to ensure control deficiencies do not reoccur. Our remediation efforts, including the testing of these controls, will continue throughout our fiscal year 2015. We expect that the material weakness will be remediated during fiscal year 2015 once these controls have been operational for a sufficient period of time to allow management to conclude that these controls are operating effectively.
Notwithstanding the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 28, 2015 and the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of that date as described above, management believes that (i) this Form 10-Q does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the periods covered by this report and (ii) the condensed consolidated financial statements, and other financial information, included in this report fairly present in all material respects in accordance with U.S. GAAP our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the dates and periods presented.
Except as noted in the preceding paragraphs of this Item 4, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 28, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Overview
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings, and we anticipate that additional actions will be brought against us in the future. The most significant of these proceedings are described below. These legal proceedings, as well as other matters, involve various aspects of our business and a variety of claims in various jurisdictions. Complex legal proceedings frequently extend for several years, and a number of the matters pending against us are at very early stages of the legal process. As a result, some pending matters have not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable us to determine whether the proceeding is material to us or to estimate a range of possible loss, if any. Unless otherwise disclosed, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss for the legal proceedings described below. While it is not possible to accurately predict or determine the eventual outcomes of these items, an adverse determination in one or more of these items currently pending could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Raysung Commercial Litigation
On October 23, 2013, Xi’an Raysung Photonics Inc., or Raysung, filed a civil suit against our wholly-owned subsidiary, Oclaro Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Bookham Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.), or Oclaro Shenzhen, in the Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court in Shaanxi Province of the People’s Republic of China, or the Xi’an Court. The complaint filed by Raysung alleges that Oclaro Shenzhen terminated its purchase order pursuant to which Raysung had supplied certain products and was to supply certain products to Oclaro Shenzhen.
Raysung initially requested that the court award damages of RMB 4,796,531 (equivalent to approximately $0.8 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015 ), and requested that Oclaro Shenzhen take the finished products that are now stored in Raysung’s warehouse (the value of the finished product is RMB 13,505,162 (equivalent to approximately $2.2 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015 )) and requested that Oclaro Shenzhen pay its court fees in connection with this suit.
The Xi’an Court delivered an Asset Preservation Order which was served on Oclaro Shenzhen and the local Customs office. According to the Asset Preservation Order, Oclaro Shenzhen was ordered to maintain RMB 15,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $2.4 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015 ) or assets equivalent to the said amount during the litigation process, and the Customs office was ordered to restrict Oclaro Shenzhen's equipment from being exported before the Asset Preservation Order is lifted. On November 11, 2013, Oclaro Shenzhen entered into a settlement agreement. Under the terms of this settlement agreement, Oclaro Shenzhen agreed to pay $500,000 in payment of invoices for certain materials to Raysung and to work with Raysung to requalify it as a vendor for certain Oclaro Shenzhen manufacturing requirements, in consideration of which Raysung agreed to submit the settlement agreement to the Xi’an Court so it could issue a civil mediation agreement, apply for a discharge of the Asset Preservation Order and waive the right to bring any legal actions against Oclaro Shenzhen relating to these matters. Oclaro Shenzhen performed its obligations under the settlement agreement, however, on January 15, 2014, Raysung applied to the Xi’an Court to terminate the settlement agreement and add Oclaro, Inc. as a co-defendant in the original civil suit.
On March 26, 2014, the Xi’an Court froze RMB 15,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $2.4 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015 ) of cash held in Oclaro Shenzhen’s bank account in China. On April 30, 2014, Oclaro Shenzhen submitted a challenge to the jurisdiction of the Xi'an Court. On May 26, 2014, the Xi'an Court overruled the jurisdictional challenge. On June 4, 2014, Oclaro Shenzhen filed an appeal with the Shaanxi High Court to revoke the civil order of the Xi'an Court overruling Oclaro Shenzhen's jurisdictional challenge. The Shaanxi High Court held hearings on July 15, 2014 and July 30, 2014, and on August 20, 2014 sustained the Xi'an Court's civil order on jurisdiction and transferred the case back to the Xi'an Court for substantive proceedings. On September 22, 2014, Raysung amended its complaint in the Xi'an Court proceeding by increasing its claims to RMB 36.2 million (equivalent to approximately $5.9 million at the exchange rate in effect on March 28, 2015 ). On October 22, 2014, the Xi'an Court conducted a hearing on the substantive elements of Raysung's claims. At the same hearing, Oclaro Shenzhen filed counterclaims against Raysung for RMB 7.4 million (equivalent to approximately $1.2 million at the exchange rate in effect on March 28, 2015 ) of losses resulting from supply of products with unqualified materials. On December 17, 2014, the Xi'an Court conducted a hearing on the substantive elements of each party's claims against the other party.
On April 2, 2015, the Xi'an Court released RMB 5,000,000 of cash (equivalent to approximately $0.8 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015) previously frozen in Oclaro Shenzhen's bank account in exchange for a new lien on physical assets located at Oclaro Shenzhen's facility with an equivalent appraised value. The Asset Preservation Order is currently in effect until March 2016. On April 10, 2015, the Xi'an Court issued a decision, ruling that Oclaro Shenzhen should pay Raysung RMB 11.4 million (equivalent to approximately $1.9 million at the exchange rate in effect March 28, 2015). The Xi'an

Court also dismissed Raysung's other claims and each of Oclaro Shenzhen's counterclaims. On April 24, 2015, Oclaro Shenzhen filed an appeal of the Xi'an Court decision with the Shaanxi High Court, on the basis of both factual and legal error in the underlying decision. As of May 7, 2015, no judge has been assigned to the appellate case and no hearing dates have been established. Oclaro, Inc. and Oclaro Shenzhen continue to believe that they have meritorious defenses to the claims made by Raysung and intend to defend this litigation vigorously.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, operations, liquidity and stock price materially and adversely. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below in addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall and you could lose all or part of your investment.
We may not be able to ramp the production of our new products to customer required volumes, which could result in delayed or lost revenue.
Many of our new product samples for metro and long haul 100 GHz communication applications have been well received by potential customers of these products. As a result, we anticipate significant backlog for these new generation products. These newer generation products typically will have greater functionality and a smaller footprint, resulting in more complexity in the manufacturing process. This increased complexity will result in lower manufacturing yields or more difficult production to manufacture in volume. If we experience large demand for these products and are unable to manufacture them in sufficient volume, we would fall short of the planned output and revenue targets as we move from low volume sampling to manufacturing for commercial production. In addition, a production ramp for certain products can include a manufacturing transition between two or more locations which carries an inherent risk of delay. Our failure to satisfy our customers' demand for these products could result in our customers postponing or canceling orders or seeking alternative suppliers for these products, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
Sales of older legacy products continue to represent a significant percentage of our total revenues and, if we do not increase the percentage of sales associated with new products, our revenues may not grow in the future or could decline.
The markets for our products are characterized by changing technology and continuing process development. The future of our business will depend in large part upon the continuing relevance of our technological capabilities, and our ability to introduce new products that address our customers’ requirements for more cost-effective and higher bandwidth solutions. Our inability to successfully launch or sustain new or next generation programs or product features that anticipate or adequately address future market trends and market transitions in a timely manner could materially adversely affect our revenues and financial results. We may also encounter competition from new or revised technologies that render our products less profitable or obsolete in our chosen markets, and our operating results may suffer. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will introduce new or next generation products in a timely manner, that these products will gain market acceptance, or that new product revenues will increase at a rate sufficient to replace declining legacy product revenues, and failure to do so could materially affect our operating results.
Customer requirements for new products are increasingly challenging, which could lead to significant executional risk in designing such products.
Across the entire network, our customers are demanding increased performance from our products, at lower prices and in smaller and lower power designs. These requirements stretch the capabilities of our optical chips, packages and electronics to the limit of technical feasibility. In addition these demands are often customer specific, leading to numerous product variations. We enter our new product introduction, or NPI, process with clear performance and cost goals. Because of the complexity of design requirements, executing on these goals is becoming increasingly difficult and less predictable. These difficulties could result in product sampling delays and/or missing targets on key specifications and customer requirements, leading to design losses. Our failure to meet our customers' technical and performance requirements for these products could result in our customers seeking alternative suppliers for these products, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
We have a history of large operating losses. We may not be able to achieve profitability in the future and as a result we may not be able to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity.
We have historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of March 28, 2015 , we had an accumulated deficit of $1,340.3 million . We incurred a loss from continuing operations of $34.4 million and negative

38

Table of Contents


cash flows from operations of $39.3 million during the nine months ended March 28, 2015 , and we incurred losses from continuing operations for the years ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 of $102.1 million and $120.3 million, respectively.
As of March 28, 2015 , we held $123.9 million in cash and restricted cash, comprised of $119.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.1 million in restricted cash; and we had working capital, including cash, of $197.1 million . At March 28, 2015 , we had debt of $67.3 million , consisting of capital leases and convertible notes.
During fiscal year 2013, 2014 and 2015, we executed a number of financing transactions in order to generate funds to help sustain our operations: we sold our interleaver and thin film filter business, executed two convertible debt transactions, and executed sales of product lines in order to generate additional capital. On May 6, 2013, we secured a short term loan from Providence Equity of $25.0 million (with net proceeds to us of $20.5 million after discounts and expenses) as a bridge to the conclusion of certain asset sales. In order to obtain the short term loan, we amended our Credit Agreement to add Providence as a term lender. In connection with this amendment, we agreed to complete certain asset sales and use the proceeds to repay amounts we have borrowed under the Credit Agreement by July 15, 2013. On August 21, 2013, we amended our Credit Agreement to extend the time frame within which we must complete such asset sales to make such repayments to September 2, 2013. The corresponding sale of our Zurich Business to II-VI Incorporated ("II-VI") was closed on September 12, 2013. We received proceeds of $90.6 million in cash on September 12, 2013 and an additional $2.9 million subject to a potential post-closing working capital adjustment, which was calculated based on the level of working capital in the Oclaro Switzerland GmbH subsidiary at the September 12, 2013 close versus a target based on working capital at June 29, 2013. We also received $1.4 million in January 2015 that had been held back from the purchase price by II-VI. We also received $5.0 million for a 30 day option to sell our Amplifier Business. On November 1, 2013, the sale of our Amplifier Business to II-VI and certain of its affiliates closed and we received $79.6 million in cash from II-VI. We also received $0.9 million in January 2015 that had been held back from the purchase price by II-VI.
Following the sale of the Zurich Business, we repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as required, and terminated the Credit Agreement on March 14, 2014. On March 28, 2014, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) pursuant to which the Bank provided us with a three-year revolving credit facility of up to $40.0 million. Under the Loan Agreement, advances are available based on up to 80 percent of “eligible accounts” as defined in the Loan Agreement.
The optical communications industry is subject to significant operational fluctuations. In order to remain competitive we incur substantial costs associated with research and development, qualification, production capacity and sales and marketing activities in connection with products that may be purchased, if at all, long after we have incurred such costs. In addition, the rapidly changing industry in which we operate, the length of time between developing and introducing a product to market, frequent changing customer specifications for products, customer cancellations of products and general down cycles in the industry, among other things, make our prospects difficult to evaluate. We are not generating positive cash flow from operations, and it is possible that we may not (i) generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations; (ii) raise funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or convertible debt securities; (iii) be able to draw advances under our Loan Agreement in the future or repay any such amounts; (iv) conclude additional strategic dispositions or similar transactions; or (v) otherwise have sufficient capital resources to meet our future capital or liquidity needs. We believe it is prudent to undertake additional restructuring activities to reduce our cost base and lower our operating income break-even level, and these activities will also be financed from our existing financial resources. There are no guarantees we will be able to generate additional financial resources beyond our existing balances.
We depend on a limited number of customers for a significant percentage of our revenues and the loss of a major customer could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition.
Historically, we have generated most of our revenues from a limited number of customers. Our dependence on a limited number of customers is due to the fact that the optical telecommunications systems industry is dominated by a small number of large companies. These companies in turn depend primarily on a limited number of major telecommunications carrier customers to purchase their products that incorporate our optical components. For example, during the nine months ended March 28, 2015 and during the fiscal years ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, our three largest customers accounted for 46 percent , 43 percent and 38 percent of our revenues, respectively. Because we rely on a limited number of customers for significant percentages of our revenues, a decrease in demand for our products from any of our major customers for any reason (including due to market conditions, catastrophic events or otherwise) could have a materially adverse impact on our financial conditions and results of operations. For example, during the second half of fiscal 2012, our revenues were adversely impacted by a significant change in demand expectations from a particular major customer. Further, the industry in which our customers operate is subject to a trend of consolidation. To the extent this trend continues, we may become dependent on even fewer customers to maintain and grow our revenues.

The majority of our long-term customer contracts do not commit customers to specified buying levels, and our customers may decrease, cancel or delay their buying levels at any time with little or no advance notice to us.
The majority of our customers typically purchase our products pursuant to individual purchase orders or contracts that do not contain purchase commitments. Some customers provide us with their expected forecasts for our products several months in advance, but these customers may decrease, cancel or delay purchase orders already in place, and the impact of any such actions may be intensified given our dependence on a small number of large customers. If any of our major customers decrease, stop or delay purchasing our products for any reason, our business and results of operations would be harmed. Cancellation or delays of such orders may cause us to fail to achieve our short-term and long-term financial and operating goals and result in excess and obsolete inventory.
Our results of operations may suffer if we do not effectively manage our inventory, and we may continue to incur inventory-related charges.
We need to manage our inventory of component parts and finished goods effectively to meet changing customer requirements. Accurately forecasting customers’ product needs is difficult. Some of our products and supplies have in the past, and may in the future, become obsolete or be deemed excess while in inventory due to rapidly changing customer specifications or a decrease in customer demand. For example, following our acquisition of Opnext in July 2012, we reviewed the inventory we acquired from Opnext in the acquisition and, when we added that Opnext inventory to our preexisting inventory, we reduced the value of the Opnext inventory on our balance sheet by approximately $43.5 million (compared to its value on Opnext’s financial records as of the closing of the acquisition) to reflect our review. This reduced value was reflected in the inventory we reported in our financial statements for the quarter ended September 29, 2012. We also have exposure to contractual liabilities to our contract manufacturers for inventories purchased by them on our behalf, based on our forecasted requirements, which may become excess or obsolete. Our inventory balances also represent an investment of cash. To the extent our inventory turns are slower than we anticipate based on historical practice, our cash conversion cycle extends and more of our cash remains invested in working capital. If we are not able to manage our inventory effectively, we may need to write down the value of some of our existing inventory or write off non-saleable or obsolete inventory. We have from time to time incurred significant inventory-related charges. Any such charges we incur in future periods could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and our cash flow.
We may not be able to maintain or improve gross margin levels.
We may not be able to maintain or improve our gross margins, due to slow introductions of new products, pricing pressure from increased competition, the failure to effectively reduce the cost of existing products, the failure to improve our product mix, the potential for future macroeconomic or market volatility reducing sales volumes, changes in customer demand (including a change in product mix between different areas of our business) or other factors. Our gross margins can also be adversely impacted for reasons including, but not limited to, fixed manufacturing costs that would not be expected to decrease in proportion to any decrease in revenues; unfavorable production yields or variances; increases in costs of input parts and materials; the timing of movements in our inventory balances; warranty costs and related returns; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; possible exposure to inventory valuation reserves; the sale of our Komoro, Zurich and Amplifier Businesses, including procuring certain parts that were previously internally sourced but that we must now purchase externally; and failure to realize benefits of the recently completed transfer of certain manufacturing functions to Venture Corporation Limited ("Venture"). Any failure to maintain, or improve, our gross margins will adversely affect our financial results, including our goal to achieve profitability and sustainable cash flow from operations.
We may experience low manufacturing yields.
Manufacturing yields depend on a number of factors, including the volume of production due to customer demand and the nature and extent of changes in specifications required by customers for which we perform design-in work. Higher volumes due to demand for a fixed, rather than continually changing, design generally results in higher manufacturing yields, whereas lower volume production generally results in lower yields. In addition, lower yields may result, and have in the past resulted, from commercial shipments of products prior to full manufacturing qualification to the applicable specifications. Changes in manufacturing processes required as a result of changes in product specifications, changing customer needs, introduction of new product lines and changes in contract manufacturers have historically caused, and may in the future cause, significantly reduced manufacturing yields, resulting in low or negative margins on those products. Moreover, an increase in the rejection rate of products during the quality control process, before, during or after manufacture, results in lower yields and margins. Finally, manufacturing yields and margins can also be lower if we receive or inadvertently use defective or contaminated materials from our suppliers. Any reduction in our manufacturing yields will adversely affect our gross margins and could have a material impact on our operating results.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, which could result in lost sales and lower revenues.
The market for optical components and modules is highly competitive and this competition could result in our existing customers moving their orders to our competitors. We are aware of a number of companies that have developed or are developing optical component products, including tunable lasers, pluggable components, modulators and subsystems, among others, that compete directly with our current and proposed product offerings.
Certain of our competitors may be able to more quickly and effectively:  
develop or respond to new technologies or technical standards;
react to changing customer requirements and expectations;
devote needed resources to the development, production, promotion and sale of products;
attain high manufacturing yields on new product designs; and
deliver competitive products at lower prices.
Some of our current competitors, as well as some of our potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, broader customer relationships and industry alliances and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. In addition, market leaders in industries such as semiconductor and data communications, who may also have significantly more resources than we do, may in the future enter our market with competing products. Our competitors and new Chinese companies are establishing manufacturing operations in China to take advantage of comparatively low manufacturing costs. All of these risks may be increased if the market were to further consolidate through mergers or other business combinations between our competitors.
We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors and aggressive competition in the market may result in lower prices for our products and/or decreased gross margins. Any such development could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In order to remain competitive, we have been in the past and may be in the future required to agree to customer terms and conditions that may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
Many of our customers have significant purchasing power and, accordingly, have requested more favorable terms and conditions, including extended payment terms, than we typically provide.  In order for us to remain competitive, we may be required to accommodate these requests, which may include granting terms that affect the timing of our receipt of cash.  As a result, these more favorable customer terms may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of our global operations, our business is subject to currency fluctuations that have adversely affected our results of operations in recent quarters and may continue to do so in the future.
Our financial results have been and will continue to be materially impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. At certain times in our history, declines in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the U.K. pound sterling and the Japanese yen have had a major negative effect on our margins and our cash flow. A significant portion of our expenses are denominated in U.K. pounds sterling and Japanese yen and substantially all of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between these currencies and, to a lesser extent, other currencies in which we collect revenues and/or pay expenses could have a material effect on our future operating results. For example during the first nine months of fiscal 2015, the Japanese yen depreciated approximately 17 percent relative to the U.S. dollar, impacting our manufacturing overhead and operating expenses. If the U.S. dollar stays the same or depreciates relative to the U.K. pound sterling and/or Japanese yen in the future, our future operating results may be materially impacted. Additional exposure could also result should the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese yuan or the Euro vary more significantly than they have to date.
We periodically engage in currency hedging transactions in an effort to cover some of our exposure to U.S. dollar to U.K. pound sterling and Japanese Yen currency fluctuations, and we may be required to convert currencies to meet our obligations. These transactions may not operate to fully hedge our exposure to currency fluctuations, and under certain circumstances, these transactions could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
Delays, disruptions or quality control problems in manufacturing could result in delays in product shipments to customers and could adversely affect our business.
We may experience delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our manufacturing operations or the manufacturing operations of our subcontractors. As a result, we could incur additional costs that would adversely affect our gross margins, and

41

Table of Contents


our product shipments to our customers could be delayed beyond the shipment schedules requested by our customers, which would negatively affect our revenues, competitive position and reputation. Furthermore, even if we are able to deliver products to our customers on a timely basis, we may be unable to recognize revenues at the time of delivery based on our revenue recognition policies.
A lack of effective internal controls over our financial reporting could result in an inability to report our financial results accurately, which could lead to a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on our stock price.
In fiscal year 2013, in connection with establishing the fair values of certain assets and liabilities associated with our acquisition of Opnext, we identified a material weakness over controls related to our recording of the purchase under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations . In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, we made adjustments to the fair value of certain items, including property and equipment, capital leases and intangible assets. As a result of these adjustments, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of June 29, 2013, because the potential impact of these adjustments could have been material to our financial position and results of operations. During the year ended June 28, 2014, we hired new finance personnel and added oversight for the accounting of acquisitions and dispositions. Our remediation efforts, including the testing of these controls, continued throughout fiscal year 2014. This material weakness was considered remediated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, once these controls were shown to be operational for a sufficient period of time to allow management to conclude that these controls were operating effectively.
In fiscal year 2014, we also identified control deficiencies relating to inventory and property and equipment, which in the aggregate constituted a material weakness. We determined that our processes, procedures and controls related to the review and analysis of inventory and property and equipment were not effective to ensure that certain amounts related to these financial statement accounts were accurately reported in a timely manner. As a result of these adjustments, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of June 28, 2014. Our remediation efforts, including the testing of these controls, are expected to continue throughout our fiscal year 2015.
In addition, we have in the past, and may in the future, acquire companies that have either experienced material weaknesses in their internal controls over financial reporting or have had no previous reporting obligations under Sarbanes-Oxley. Failure to integrate acquired businesses into our internal controls over financial reporting could cause those controls to fail.
We cannot assure you that similar material weaknesses will not recur in the future. If additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements and we could be required to restate our financial results.
Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements or otherwise cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and our stock price, and we could be subject to stockholder litigation and our common stock may be delisted as a result. Even if we are able to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, the costs of doing business may increase and our management may be required to dedicate greater time and resources to that effort.
We have a large amount of intercompany balances with our China entities which may be subject to taxes and penalties when we try to pay them down or collect them.
Payments for goods and services into and out of China are subject to numerous and over-lapping government regulation with respect to foreign exchange controls, banking controls, import and export controls, and taxes. We have been operating in China for an extended period of time and have accumulated significant intercompany balances with our related entities. Our ability to repay or collect these balances may be restricted by Chinese laws and, as a result, we may be unable to successfully pay down or collect on these balances. As a consequence, we may be assessed additional taxes in China if we are unable to claim bad debt deductions or incur debt forgiveness income from the cancellation of these intercompany balances. Additionally, if we are found not to have complied with the various local laws surrounding cross border payments, we may incur penalties and fines for non-compliance. Any such taxes, penalties and/or fines could be significant in amount and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, including our cash and cash equivalent balances.

We depend on a limited number of suppliers and key contract manufacturers who could disrupt our business if they stopped, decreased, delayed or were unable to meet our demand for shipments of their products or manufacturing of our products.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers of raw materials and equipment used to manufacture our products. We currently also depend on a limited number of contract manufacturers, principally Fabrinet in Thailand, to manufacture certain of our products. We will also increasingly depend on Venture, having transferred portions of our Shenzhen assembly and test operations to Venture. Some of these suppliers are sole sources. We typically have not entered into long-term agreements with our suppliers other than Fabrinet and Venture. As a result, these suppliers generally may stop supplying us materials and equipment at any time. Our reliance on a sole supplier or limited number of suppliers could result in delivery problems, reduced control over product pricing and quality, and an inability to identify and qualify another supplier in a timely manner. Some of our suppliers that may be small or under-capitalized may experience financial difficulties that could prevent them from supplying us materials and equipment. In addition, our suppliers, including our sole source suppliers, may experience manufacturing delays or shut downs due to circumstances beyond their control such as earthquakes, floods, fires, labor unrest, political unrest or other natural disasters.
Fabrinet’s manufacturing operations are located in Thailand. In October 2011, due to flooding in Thailand, Fabrinet suspended operations at both of its factories that supply us with finished goods. Thailand has also been subject to political unrest in the recent past, including the temporary interruption of service at one of its international airports, and may again experience such political unrest in the future. If Fabrinet is unable to supply us with materials or equipment, or if it is unable to ship our materials or equipment out of Thailand due to future flooding or political unrest, this could materially adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and our results of operations.
Any supply deficiencies relating to the quality or quantities of materials or equipment we use to manufacture our products could materially and adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and our results of operations. Lead times for the purchase of certain materials and equipment from suppliers have increased and in some cases have limited our ability to rapidly respond to increased demand, and may continue to do so in the future. To the extent we introduce additional contract manufacturing partners, introduce new products with new partners and/or move existing internal or external production lines to new partners, we could experience supply disruptions during the transition process. In addition, due to our customers’ requirements relating to the qualification of our suppliers and contract manufacturing facilities and operations, we cannot quickly enter into alternative supplier relationships, which prevents us from being able to respond immediately to adverse events affecting our suppliers.
We will incur significant additional restructuring charges that will adversely affect our results of operations.
We expect to incur significant restructuring expenses for incremental actions going forward, including restructuring actions we announced in the first half of fiscal year 2014 to reduce our complexity and to simplify our operating footprint subsequent to the sale of the Zurich and Amplifier Businesses.
We have previously enacted a series of restructuring plans and cost reduction plans designed to reduce our manufacturing overhead and our operating expenses that have resulted in significant restructuring charges. Such charges have adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our results of operations for the periods in which such charges have been, or will be, incurred. Additionally, actual costs have in the past, and may in the future, exceed the amounts estimated and provided for in our financial statements. Significant additional charges could materially and adversely affect our results of operations in the periods that they are incurred and recognized. In addition, certain restructuring activities will require significant cash commitments and will adversely affect our cash balances.
For instance, during fiscal years 2014 and 2013, we incurred $3.5 million and $5.1 million in restructuring charges, respectively, in connection with the transition of certain portions of our Shenzhen, China assembly and test operations to Venture. During the year ended June 28, 2014, we also incurred $13.2 million in restructuring charges in connection with the restructuring plan we initiated in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 to simplify our operating footprint, reduce our cost structure and focus our research and development investment in the optical communications market where we can leverage our core competencies. We expect to incur an additional $3.0 million to $5.0 million, in aggregate, in restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015 in connection with these restructuring plans.
Our business and results of operations may continue to be negatively impacted by general economic, financial market conditions and market conditions in the industries in which we operate, and such conditions may increase the other risks that affect our business.
Over the past few years, the world’s financial markets have experienced significant turmoil, resulting in reductions in available credit, increased costs of credit, extreme volatility in security prices, potential changes to existing credit terms, and rating downgrades of investments. In light of these economic conditions, many of our customers reduced their spending plans, leading them to draw down their existing inventory and reduce orders for our products. It is possible that economic conditions could

43

result in further setbacks, and that these customers, or others, could as a result significantly reduce their capital expenditures, draw down their inventories, reduce production levels of existing products, defer introduction of new products or place orders and accept delivery for products for which they do not pay us due to their economic difficulties or other reasons. These conditions have materially and adversely affected the market conditions in the industries in which we operate, and have had a material adverse impact on our revenues. In addition, the financial downturn affected the financial strength of certain of our customers, including their ability to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products, and could adversely affect additional customers in the future. Our suppliers may also be adversely affected by economic conditions that may impact their ability to provide important components used in our manufacturing processes on a timely basis, or at all. To a large degree, orders from our customers are dependent on demand from telecom carriers around the world. Telecom carrier capital expenditure plans and execution can also be adversely impacted, both in terms of total spend and in determination of areas of investment within network infrastructures, by global and regional macroeconomic conditions.
These conditions could also result in reduced capital resources because of the potential lack of credit availability, higher costs of credit and the stretching of payables by creditors seeking to preserve their own cash resources. We are unable to predict the likely duration, severity and potential continuation of any disruption in financial markets and adverse economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries, but the longer the duration the greater the risks we face in operating our business.
If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our business could suffer.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Competition for highly skilled technical personnel is extremely intense and we continue to face difficulty identifying and hiring qualified engineers in many areas of our business. We may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure. Our future success also depends on the continued contributions of our executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace. The loss of services of these or other executive officers or key personnel or the inability to continue to attract qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We have recently announced significant changes at Oclaro relating to our operations, strategic plan and management team. The operation of our business could be adversely affected by the transition of key personnel as we rebuild our executive leadership team and make additional organizational changes.
Beginning in June 2013, we have announced a series of events, transactions and restructuring plans, which have had a significant impact on our business. Among other things, we sold our Komoro, Zurich and Amplifier Businesses and announced a restructuring plan to focus our business on our core competencies. While we believe these events, transactions and plans will have a positive impact on our financial condition and results of operations, these changes will result in at least a significant near-term reduction in our revenues, could lead to a disruption in our operations and employee morale, could lead to unplanned attrition of employees, and adversely affect our ability to attract highly skilled employees. In addition, many of our senior management are relatively new. Since June 2013, we have appointed a new Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and have hired a new Chief Commercial Officer, a new General Counsel, a new Principal Accounting Officer, a new Executive Vice President of Human Resources and a new President of our Integrated Photonics Division. We have also decreased the size of our Board of Directors from nine to seven. It is important to our success that our Chief Executive Officer continues building an effective management team and global organization. It may take some time for each of the new members of our management team to become fully integrated into our business. Our failure to manage these transitions, or to find and retain experienced management personnel, could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively and could adversely affect our operating results. If we experience these or other adverse consequences, fail to manage these transitions, do not find and retain experienced management personnel, or are otherwise unable to realize the expected benefits of our restructuring plan, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected and we may not be able to continue as a going concern over the long term.
In the future we may need to access the capital markets to raise additional equity, which could dilute our shareholder base.
We may need additional liquidity beyond our current expectations, such as to fund future growth, strengthen our balance sheet or to fund the cost of restructuring activities, and will continue to explore other sources of additional liquidity. These additional sources of liquidity could include one, or a combination, of the following: (i) issuing equity securities, (ii) incurring indebtedness secured by our assets, (iii) issuing debt and/or convertible debt securities, or (iv) selling product lines, other assets and/or portions of our business. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
If we raise funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or convertible debt securities, our stockholders may be significantly diluted, and these newly-issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of securities held by existing stockholders. If we raise funds through the issuance of debt instruments, such as we did in February 2015 when we issued convertible notes and December 2012 when we issued exchangeable bonds, the agreements governing such

44

Table of Contents


debt instruments may contain covenant restrictions that limit our ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt, assume obligations in connection with letters of credit, or issue guarantees; (ii) create liens; (iii) make certain investments or acquisitions; (iv) enter into transactions with our affiliates; (v) sell certain assets; (vi) redeem capital stock or make other restricted payments; (vii) declare or pay dividends or make other distributions to stockholders; and (viii) merge or consolidate with any entity. (See Note 6, Credit Line and Notes , elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further details). The exchangeable bonds issued in 2012 were subsequently exchanged for common stock. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, if and when needed, our ability to fund our operations, develop or enhance our products, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and operate effectively could be significantly limited.
We may have to incur substantially more debt in the future, which may subject us to restrictive covenants that could limit our ability to operate our business.
In the future, we may incur additional indebtedness through arrangements such as credit agreements or term loans that may impose restrictions and covenants that limit our ability to respond appropriately to market conditions, make capital investments or take advantage of business opportunities. In addition, any debt arrangements we may enter into would likely require us to make regular interest payments, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
If our customers do not qualify our manufacturing lines or the manufacturing lines of our subcontractors for volume shipments, our operating results could suffer.
Most of our customers do not purchase products, other than limited numbers of evaluation units, prior to qualification of the manufacturing line for volume production. Our existing manufacturing lines, as well as each new manufacturing line, must pass through varying levels of qualification with our customers. Our manufacturing lines have passed our qualification standards, as well as our technical standards. However, our customers also require that our manufacturing lines pass their specific qualification standards and that we, and any subcontractors that we may use, be registered under international quality standards. In addition, we have in the past, and may in the future, encounter quality control issues as a result of relocating our manufacturing lines or introducing new products to fill production. We may be unable to obtain customer qualification of our manufacturing lines or we may experience delays in obtaining customer qualification of our manufacturing lines. Such delays or failure to obtain qualifications would harm our operating results and customer relationships. If we introduce new contract manufacturing partners and move any production lines from existing internal or external facilities, the new production lines will likely need to be re-qualified with our customers. Exposures to these risks could increase materially as a result of the transition of certain of our Shenzhen product lines to Venture in Malaysia.
We may undertake divestitures of portions of our business, such as the divestiture of our Komoro Business, Zurich Business and our Amplifier Business, that require us to continue providing substantial post-divestiture transition services and support, which may cause us to incur unanticipated costs and liabilities and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we consider divestitures of product lines or portions of our assets in order to streamline our business, focus on our core operations and raise cash. For example, on October 27, 2014, we sold our Komoro Business to Ushio Opto Semiconductors, Inc. ("Ushio"). In addition, on September 12, 2013, we sold our Zurich Business to II-VI and on November 1, 2013, we sold our Amplifier Business to II-VI (See Note 5, Business Combinations and Dispositions , elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further details). In connection with these divestitures, we entered into transition service, manufacturing service and supply agreements with both Ushio and II-VI to facilitate the ownership transition, collectively referred to as “transition agreements.” Pursuant to these transition agreements, we continue to manufacture certain products for II-VI and perform certain administrative functions for both Ushio and II-VI. From time to time, substantial amounts of executive resources have been diverted from our core ongoing business to manage these transitions. For each of these divestitures, a material portion of the purchase price was held back to address post-closing claims, including claims related to our performance of the transition agreements. We received a portion of the hold-back from the sale of the Zurich Business during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014. We expected to receive an additional $10.0 million which was subject to hold-back by II-VI until December 31, 2014 to address any post-closing adjustments or claims related to the sale of the Zurich and Amplifier Businesses. On December 30, 2014, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with II-VI and II-VI Holdings B.V. regarding disposition of the amounts held back by the II-VI parties. Of the $10.0 million subject to hold-back until December 31, 2014, we received $2.35 million in January 2015 and we released the remaining $7.65 million to II-VI Holdings B.V. In order to perform under these transition agreements, on an interim basis, we have been required to retain certain employees and contractors, continue operating certain facilities, dedicate certain manufacturing capacity and maintain certain supplier agreements that have added additional costs and delayed our ability to fully restructure our operations to efficiently focus on our core ongoing business. If we fail to perform under any of these transition agreements, or if we do not successfully execute the restructuring of our operations after our transition agreement obligations have been fulfilled, our financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

We may undertake acquisitions or mergers, that do not prove successful, which would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we consider acquisitions or mergers, collectively referred to as “acquisitions,” of other businesses, assets or companies that would complement our current product offerings, enhance our intellectual property rights or offer other competitive opportunities. For example, on March 26, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with Opnext, which was completed on July 23, 2012. However, in the future, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates at prices we consider appropriate. In addition, we are in an industry that is actively consolidating and, as a result, there is no guarantee that we will successfully and satisfactorily bid against third parties, including competitors, when we identify a critical target we want to acquire.
We cannot readily predict the timing or size of our future acquisitions, or the success of our recent or future acquisitions. Failure to successfully implement our future acquisition plans could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Even successful acquisitions could have the effect of reducing our cash balances, diluting the ownership interests of existing stockholders or increasing our indebtedness. For example, in our acquisition of Opnext we issued approximately 38.4 million newly issued shares of our common stock to the former stockholders of Opnext.
In connection with the acquisition of Xtellus, Inc. ("Xtellus") in 2009, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we issued 0.9 million shares of our common stock related to the settlement of our Xtellus escrow liability. In October 2011, we paid $0.5 million in cash and issued 0.8 million shares of our common stock to pay earnout obligations related to our acquisition of Mintera Corporation ("Mintera"). In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, we paid $2.2 million to settle a portion of our Mintera earnout obligations, and settled the remaining $8.6 million obligation in cash in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
All acquisitions involve potential risks and uncertainties, including the following, any of which could harm our business and adversely affect our results of operations:  
failure to realize the potential financial or strategic benefits of the acquisition;
increased costs associated with merged or acquired operations;
increased indebtedness obligations;
economic dilution to gross and operating profit (loss) and earnings (loss) per share;
failure to successfully further develop the combined, acquired or remaining technology, which could, among other things, result in the impairment of amounts recorded as goodwill or other intangible assets;
unanticipated costs and liabilities and unforeseen accounting charges;
difficulty in integrating product offerings;
difficulty in coordinating and rationalizing research and development activities to enhance introduction of new products and technologies with reduced cost;
difficulty in coordinating and integrating the manufacturing activities, including with respect to third-party manufacturers, including coordination, integration or transfers of any manufacturing activities associated with our acquisition of Opnext in 2012;
delays and difficulties in delivery of products and services;
failure to effectively integrate or separate management information systems, personnel, research and development, marketing, sales and support operations;
difficulty in maintaining internal control procedures and disclosure controls that comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or poor integration of a target’s procedures and controls;
difficulty in preserving important relationships of our acquired businesses and resolving potential conflicts between business cultures;
uncertainty on the part of our existing customers, or the customers of an acquired company, about our ability to operate effectively after a transaction, and the potential loss of such customers;
loss of key employees;
difficulty in coordinating the international activities of our acquired businesses, including Opnext, which has substantial operations in Japan as well as the United States, and which uses contract manufacturing suppliers in Southeast Asia;
the effect of tax laws and other legal and regulatory regimes due to increasing complexities of our global operating structure;

46

Table of Contents


greater exposure to the impact of foreign currency changes on our business;
the effect of employment law or regulations or other limitations in foreign jurisdictions that could have an impact on timing, amounts or costs of achieving expected synergies; and
substantial demands on our management as a result of these transactions that may limit their time to attend to other operational, financial, business and strategic issues.
Our integration with acquired businesses has been and will continue to be a complex, time-consuming and expensive process. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate these businesses in a timely manner, or at all, or that any of the anticipated benefits from our previous or future acquisitions will be realized. There are inherent challenges in integrating the operations of geographically diverse companies. We may have difficulty, and may incur unanticipated expenses related to, integrating management and personnel from our acquisitions. Our failure to achieve the strategic objectives of our past and future acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, expenses and our other operating results and cash resources, and could result in us not achieving the anticipated potential benefits of these transactions. In addition, we cannot assure you that the growth rate of the combined company will equal the historical growth rate experienced by any of the companies that we have acquired. Comparable risks would accompany any divestiture of businesses or assets we might undertake.
In addition, even if we successfully integrate the operations of Opnext and other companies that we acquire in the future, we cannot predict with certainty which strategic, financial or operating synergies or other benefits, if any, will actually be achieved from our acquisition, the timing of any such benefits, or whether those benefits which have been achieved will be sustainable on a long-term basis. Our failure to successfully integrate the operations of companies that we acquire would likely have a material and adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a complex multinational tax structure, and changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income tax returns could adversely affect our results.
We have a complex multinational tax structure with multiple types of intercompany transactions, and our allocation of profits and losses among us and our subsidiaries through our intercompany transfer pricing agreements is subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. Our future effective tax rates could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher statutory rates, by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof. In addition, we are also subject to periodic examination of our income tax returns and related transfer pricing documentation by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
Our intellectual property rights may not be adequately protected.
Our future success will depend, in large part, upon our intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, design rights, trade secrets, trademarks and know-how. We maintain an active program of identifying technology appropriate for patent protection. Our practice is to require employees and consultants to execute non-disclosure and proprietary rights agreements upon commencement of employment or consulting arrangements. These agreements acknowledge our exclusive ownership of all intellectual property developed by the individuals during their work for us and require that all proprietary information disclosed will remain confidential. Although such agreements may be binding, they may not be enforceable in full or in part in all jurisdictions and any breach of a confidentiality obligation could have a negative effect on our business and our remedy for such breach may be limited.
Our intellectual property portfolio is an important corporate asset. The steps we have taken and may take in the future to protect our intellectual property may not adequately prevent misappropriation or ensure that others will not develop competitive technologies or products. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not successfully challenge the validity of our patents or design products that avoid infringement of our proprietary rights with respect to our technology. There can be no assurance that other companies are not investigating or developing other similar technologies, that any patents will be issued from any application pending or filed by us, or that, if patents are issued, that the claims allowed will be sufficiently broad to deter or prohibit others from marketing similar products. In addition, we cannot assure you that any patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights under those patents will provide a competitive advantage to us or that our products and technology will be adequately covered by our patents and other intellectual property. Further, the laws of certain regions in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, including Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia and Latin America, may not be enforceable to protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom and continental European countries. This is especially relevant since we have transferred our assembly and test operations and chip-on-carrier operations, including certain engineering-related functions, to

47

Table of Contents


Shenzhen, China, and have recently completed the transition of portions of these assembly and test operations to Venture in Malaysia.
Opnext historically relied on Hitachi, one of our major shareholders, for assistance with the research and development efforts related to Opnext’s product portfolio. Any failure of Hitachi to continue to provide these services could have a material adverse effect on our business. Opnext’s product expertise is based on the research ability developed within their Hitachi heritage and through joint research and development in lasers and optical technologies. A key factor to Opnext’s business success and strategy is fundamental laser research. Opnext relied on access to Hitachi’s research laboratories pursuant to a research and development agreement with Hitachi, which includes access to Hitachi’s research facilities and engineers, to conduct research and development activities that are important to the establishment of new technologies and products vital to their current and future business. Should access to Hitachi’s research laboratories become unavailable or available at less attractive terms in the future, this may impede development of new technologies and products, and our financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Our revenues and operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly as a result of factors that are outside our control.
Our revenues and operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of factors that are outside our control. The timing of order placement, size of orders and satisfaction of contractual customer acceptance criteria, changes in the pricing of our products due to competitive pressures as well as order or shipment delays or deferrals, with respect to our products, may cause material fluctuations in revenues. Our lengthy sales cycle, which may extend to more than one year, may cause our revenues and operating results to vary from period to period and it may be difficult to predict the timing and amount of any variation. Delays or deferrals in purchasing decisions by our customers may increase as we develop new or enhanced products for new markets, including data communications, industrial, research, consumer and biotechnology markets. Purchase decisions by our customers are also impacted by the capital expenditure plans of the global telecom carriers, which tend to be the primary customers of our customers. Our current and anticipated future dependence on a small number of customers increases the revenue impact of each such customer’s decision to delay or defer purchases from us, or decision not to purchase products from us. For example, during the second half of fiscal 2012, our revenues were adversely impacted by a significant change in demand expectations from a particular major customer. Our expense levels in the future will be based, in large part, on our expectations regarding future revenue sources and, as a result, operating results for any quarterly period in which material orders fail to occur, or are delayed or deferred, could vary significantly. Because our business is capital intensive, significant fluctuations in our revenues, without a corresponding decrease in expenses, can have a significant adverse impact on our operating results.
We have significant operations in China, which exposes us to risks inherent in doing business in China.
A significant portion of our assembly and test operations, chip-on-carrier operations and manufacturing and supply chain management operations are concentrated in our facility in Shenzhen, China. In addition, we have research and development related activities in Shenzhen, China. To be successful in China we will need to:  
qualify our manufacturing lines and the products we produce in Shenzhen, as required by our customers; and
attract and retain qualified personnel to operate our Shenzhen facility.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve these objectives.
Employee turnover in China is high due to the intensely competitive and fluid market for skilled labor. To operate our Shenzhen facility under these conditions, we need to continue to hire direct manufacturing personnel, administrative personnel and technical personnel; obtain and retain required legal authorization to hire such personnel; and incur the time and expense to hire and train such personnel. On March 28, 2012, shortly after announcing our agreement with Venture to transition certain manufacturing operations, certain of our employees in Shenzhen initiated a work stoppage. The work stoppage impacted our Shenzhen manufacturing capabilities temporarily up to and including April 4, 2012. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were adversely impacted by approximately $4.0 million due to the work stoppage.
Inflation rates in China are higher than in most jurisdictions in which we operate. We believe that salary inflation rates for the skilled personnel we hire and seek to retain in Shenzhen are likely to be higher than overall inflation rates.
Operations in China are subject to greater political, legal and economic risks than our operations in other countries. In particular, the political, legal and economic climate in China, both nationally and regionally, is fluid and unpredictable. For example, we have been subject to commercial litigation in China initiated by a former supplier. For a description of this lawsuit, see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, "Raysung Commercial Litigation," in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our ability to operate in China may be adversely affected by changes in Chinese laws and regulations such as those related to, among other things, taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, intellectual property, currency controls, employee benefits and other matters. In addition, we may not obtain or retain the requisite legal permits to

48

Table of Contents


continue to operate in China, and costs or operational limitations may be imposed in connection with obtaining and complying with such permits.
We intend to continue to export the products manufactured at our Shenzhen facility. Under current regulations, upon application and approval by the relevant governmental authorities, we will not be subject to certain Chinese taxes and will be exempt from certain duties on imported materials that are used in the manufacturing process and subsequently exported from China as finished products. However, Chinese trade regulations are in a state of flux, and we may become subject to other forms of taxation and duties in China or may be required to pay export fees in the future. In the event that we become subject to new forms of taxation or export fees in China, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We may also be required to expend greater amounts than we currently anticipate in connection with increasing production at our Shenzhen facility. Any one of the factors cited above, or a combination of them, could result in unanticipated costs or interruptions in production, which could materially and adversely affect our business.
Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which could result in expensive litigation or require us to obtain a license to use the technology from third parties, or we may be prohibited from selling certain products in the future.
Companies in the industry in which we operate frequently are sued or receive informal claims of patent infringement or infringement of other intellectual property rights. We have, from time to time, received such claims, including from competitors and from companies that have substantially more resources than us. For example, see Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, "Furukawa Patent Litigation," in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Third parties may in the future assert claims against us concerning our existing products or with respect to future products under development, or with respect to products that we may acquire through acquisitions. We have entered into and may in the future enter into indemnification obligations in favor of some customers that could be triggered upon an allegation or finding that we are infringing other parties’ proprietary rights. If we do infringe a third party’s rights, we may need to negotiate with holders of those rights in order to obtain a license to those rights or otherwise settle any infringement claim. We have from time to time received notices from third parties alleging infringement of their intellectual property and where appropriate have entered into license agreements with those third parties with respect to that intellectual property. Any license agreements that we wish to enter into the future with respect to intellectual property rights may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. We may not in all cases be able to resolve allegations of infringement through licensing arrangements, settlement, alternative designs or otherwise. We may take legal action to determine the validity and scope of the third-party rights or to defend against any allegations of infringement. Holders of intellectual property rights could become more aggressive in alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights and we may be the subject of such claims asserted by a third party. In the course of pursuing any of these means or defending against any lawsuits filed against us, we could incur significant costs and diversion of our resources and our management’s attention. Due to the competitive nature of our industry, it is unlikely that we could increase our prices to cover such costs. In addition, such claims could result in significant penalties or injunctions that could prevent us from selling some of our products in certain markets or result in settlements or judgments that require payment of significant royalties or damages.
Fluctuations in our operating results could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our revenues and other operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future. The timing of order placement, size of orders and satisfaction of contractual customer acceptance criteria, changes in the pricing of our products due to competitive pressures as well as order or shipment delays or deferrals, with respect to our products, acquisitions and asset sales may cause material fluctuations in revenues. Our lengthy sales cycle, which may extend to more than one year, may cause our revenues and operating results to vary from period to period and it may be difficult to predict the timing and amount of any variation. Delays or deferrals in purchasing decisions by our customers may increase as we develop new or enhanced products for new markets, including data communications, industrial, research, consumer and biotechnology markets. Our current and anticipated future dependence on a small number of customers increases the revenue impact of each such customer’s decision to delay or defer purchases from us, or decision not to purchase products from us. Our expense levels in the future will be based, in large part, on our expectations regarding future revenue sources and, as a result, operating results for any quarterly period in which material orders fail to occur, or are delayed or deferred, could vary significantly.
Because of these and other factors, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be indicative of our future performance. In future periods, our results of operations may differ, in some cases materially, from the estimates of public market analysts and investors. Such a discrepancy, or our failure to meet published financial projections, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

We sold our Komoro, Zurich and Amplifier Businesses and may pursue other strategic dispositions or a further reduction in the number of our locations which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or further change our business profile significantly.
The sale of our Komoro Business in 2014, the sale of our Zurich and Amplifier Businesses in 2013, and any future strategic disposition of assets or businesses or reduction in the number of our locations, each involve numerous risks. These risks include: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; (ii) difficulty segregating assets or businesses to be disposed of or consolidated; (iii) exposure to unknown, contingent or other liabilities, including litigation arising in connection with the disposition; (iv) changing our business profile in ways that could have unintended negative consequences; (v) the failure to achieve anticipated benefits; (vi) accounting charges that may affect our financial condition and results of operations; (vii) significant fluctuations in our revenues and operating results; (viii) our ability to support manufacturing services and transition services and the risk to the rest of our business resulting from resources focusing on those services. These asset sales contributed to a decrease in our total revenues during 2014 compared to 2013, and may contribute to a further decrease of revenues during 2015 compared to 2014. These decreases have and may continue to adversely impact our operating results. Additional asset sales that we may consider in the future could cause us to face similar risks, which could weaken our financial condition and adversely impact our operating results.
If we fail to obtain the right to use the intellectual property rights of others necessary to operate our business, our business and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
Certain companies in the telecommunications and optical components markets in which we sell our products have experienced frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Numerous patents in these industries are held by others, including academic institutions and our competitors. Optical component suppliers may seek to gain a competitive advantage or other third parties, inside or outside our market, may seek an economic return on their intellectual property portfolios by making infringement claims against us. We currently in-license certain intellectual property of third parties, and in the future, we may need to obtain license rights to patents or other intellectual property held by others to the extent necessary for our business. Unless we are able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, patents or other intellectual property held by others could be used to inhibit or prohibit our production and sale of existing products and our development of new products for our markets. Licenses granting us the right to use third-party technology may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Generally, a license, if granted, would include payments of up-front fees, ongoing royalties or both. These payments or other terms could have a significant adverse impact on our operating results. In addition, in the event we are granted such a license, it is likely such license would be non-exclusive and other parties, including competitors, may be able to utilize such technology. Our larger competitors may be able to obtain licenses or cross-license their technology on better terms than we can, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, our larger competitors may be able to buy such technology and preclude us from licensing or using such technology.
We generate a significant portion of our revenues internationally and therefore are subject to additional risks associated with the extent of our international operations.
For fiscal years ended June 28, 2014, June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, 11 percent, 9 percent and 11 percent of our revenues, respectively, were derived from sales to customers located in the United States and 89 percent, 91 percent and 89 percent of our revenues, respectively, were derived from sales to customers located outside the United States. We are subject to additional risks related to operating in foreign countries, including:  
currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced revenues;
greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection and longer collection periods;
difficulty in enforcing or adequately protecting our intellectual property;
ability to hire qualified candidates;
foreign taxes;
political, legal and economic instability in foreign markets;
foreign regulations;
changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements;
trade restrictions, including restrictions imposed by the United States government on trading with parties in foreign countries;
transportation delays;
epidemics and illnesses;

terrorism and threats of terrorism;
work stoppages and infrastructure problems due to adverse weather conditions or natural disasters;
work stoppages related to employee dissatisfaction;
changes in import/export regulations, tariffs, and freight rates; and
the effective protections of, and the ability to enforce, contractual arrangements.
Any of these risks, or any other risks related to our foreign operations, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may face product liability claims.
Despite quality assurance measures, defects may occur in our products. The occurrence of any defects in our products could give rise to liability for damages caused by such defects, including consequential damages. Such defects could, moreover, impair market acceptance of our products. Both could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, we may assume product warranty liabilities related to companies we acquire, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In order to mitigate the risk of liability for damages, we carry product liability insurance with a $25.0 million aggregate annual limit and errors and omissions insurance with a $5.0 million annual limit. We cannot assure you that this insurance would adequately cover our costs arising from any defects in our products or otherwise.
At times, the market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly.
The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile. For example, between June 30, 2013 and June 28, 2014, the market price of our common stock ranged from a low of $0.88 per share to a high of $3.57 per share. Many factors could cause the market price of our common stock to rise and fall.
In addition to the matters discussed in other risk factors included in our public filings, some of the events that could impact our stock price are:  
fluctuations in our financial condition and results of operations, including our gross margins and cash flow;
changes in our business, operations or prospects;
hiring or departure of key personnel;
new contractual relationships with key suppliers or customers by us or our competitors;
proposed acquisitions and dispositions by us or our competitors;
financial results or projections that fail to meet public market analysts’ expectations and changes in stock market analysts’ recommendations regarding us, other optical technology companies or the telecommunication industry in general;
future sales of common stock, or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for common stock;
adverse judgments or settlements obligating us to pay damages;
future issuances of common stock in connection with acquisitions or other transactions;
acts of war, terrorism, or natural disasters;
industry, domestic and international market and economic conditions, including the global macroeconomic downturn over the last three years and related sovereign debt issues in certain parts of the world;
low trading volume in our stock;
developments relating to patents or property rights; and
government regulatory changes.
In connection with our acquisition of Xtellus, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 we issued 0.9 million shares of our common stock to settle our escrow liability. In connection with our acquisition of Mintera, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, we issued 0.8 million shares of our common stock to pay portions of the 12 month earnout obligations. In connection with our acquisition of Opnext, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we issued 38.4 million shares of our common stock. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we issued 13.5 million shares of our common stock in connection with the conversion of the convertible notes issued in December, 2012. We also have $65 million of convertible notes outstanding, which if converted, would result in us issuing up to 44.5 million shares of our common stock. In May 2013, we also issued 1.8 million warrants to purchase our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share in connection with

51

Table of Contents


the Term Loan we received in May 2013 (See Note 6, Credit Line and Notes, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further details). On May 2, 2014, these warrants were exercised, resulting in the issuance of 978,457 shares of our common stock. The issuance of these shares and their subsequent sale will dilute our existing stockholders and could potentially have a negative impact on our stock price.
Our shares of common stock have experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations, in many cases without any direct relationship to our operating performance. An outgrowth of this market volatility is the significant vulnerability of our stock price to any actual or perceived fluctuation in the strength of the markets we serve, regardless of the actual consequence of such fluctuations. As a result, the market price for our stock is highly volatile. These broad market and industry factors have caused the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, and may in the future cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, regardless of our actual operating performance.
We are not restricted from issuing additional shares of our common stock, including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of our common stock. Issuances of shares of our common stock or convertible securities, including outstanding options and warrants, will dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders.
We have been named as a party to derivative action lawsuits in the past, and we may be named in additional litigation in the future, all of which would require significant management time and attention and result in significant legal expenses and could result in an unfavorable outcome which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
When the market price of a stock experiences a sharp decline, as has happened to us in the past, holders of that stock have often brought securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. Several securities class action lawsuits have been filed against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors. Other class action lawsuits have been initiated in the past against Opnext, us and certain of our respective current and former officers and directors as purported derivative actions. The securities class action complaints alleged violations of section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each purported derivative complaint alleged, among other things, counts for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste, and unjust enrichment. The courts recently approved the settlement of these lawsuits and the settlements became final. For a description of these lawsuits, see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, "Class Action and Derivative Litigation" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If new litigation of this type were to be initiated in the future, such litigation would likely divert the time and attention of our management and could cause us to incur significant expense in defending against the litigation. In addition, if any such suits were resolved in a manner adverse to us, the damages we could be required to pay may be substantial and could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and our ability to operate our business.
Because we do not intend to pay dividends, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value.
We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We anticipate that we will retain any future earnings to support operations and to finance the development of our business and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend entirely upon any future appreciation in its value. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have purchased their shares.
We are subject to anti-corruption laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA. Our failure to comply with these laws could result in penalties which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to the FCPA, which generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits, along with various other anti-corruption laws. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure that we, our employees and other intermediaries comply with the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws to which we are subject, there is no assurance that such policies or procedures will work effectively all of the time or protect us against liability under the FCPA or other laws for actions taken by our employees and other intermediaries with respect to our business or any businesses that we may acquire. We have manufacturing operations in China and other jurisdictions, many of which pose elevated risks of anti-corruption violations, and we export our products for sale internationally. This puts us in frequent contact with persons who may be considered “foreign officials” under the FCPA, resulting in an elevated risk of potential FCPA violations. If we are not in compliance with the FCPA and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities (including local laws), we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Any investigation of any potential violations of the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws by U.S. or foreign authorities could harm our reputation and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation may substantially increase our costs and harm our business.
We are a party to numerous lawsuits and will continue to incur legal fees and other costs related thereto, including potentially expenses for the reimbursement of legal fees of officers and directors under indemnification obligations. The expense of continuing to defend such litigation may be significant. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in any defense. Further, the amount of time that will be required to resolve these lawsuits is unpredictable and these actions may divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters that may arise from time to time could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
For a description of our current material litigation, see Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In addition, from time to time, we have been a party to certain intellectual property infringement litigation as more fully described above under “Risks Related to Our Business — Our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which could result in expensive litigation or require us to obtain a license to use the technology from third parties, or we may be prohibited from selling certain products in the future .”
The inability to obtain government licenses and approvals for desired international trading activities or technology transfers may prevent the profitable operation of our business.
Many of our present and future business activities are subject to licensing by the United States government under the Export Administration Act, the Export Administration Regulations and other laws, regulations and requirements governing international trade and technology transfer. We presently manufacture products in China and Thailand that require such licenses. The profitable operations of our business may require the continuity of these licenses and may require further licenses and approvals for future products in these and other countries. However, there is no certainty to the continuity of these licenses, nor that further desired licenses and approvals may be obtained.
Prior to our acquisition of Opnext, Opnext licensed its intellectual property to Hitachi and its wholly owned subsidiaries without restriction. In addition, Hitachi is free to license certain of Hitachi’s intellectual property that Opnext used in its business to any third party, including competitors, which could harm our business and operating results.
Opnext was initially created as a stand-alone entity by acquiring certain assets of Hitachi through various transactions. In connection with these transactions, Opnext acquired a number of patents and know-how from Hitachi, but also granted Hitachi and its wholly owned subsidiaries a perpetual right to continue to use those patents and know-how, as well as other patents and know-how that Opnext developed during a period which ended in July 2011 (or October 2012 in certain cases). This license back to Hitachi is broad and permits Hitachi to use this intellectual property for any products or services anywhere in the world, including licensing this intellectual property to our competitors.
Additionally, while significant intellectual property owned by Hitachi was assigned to Opnext when Opnext was formed, Hitachi retained and only licensed to Opnext the intellectual property rights to underlying technologies used in both Opnext products and the products of Hitachi. Under the agreement, Hitachi remains free to license these intellectual property rights to the underlying technologies to any party, including competitors. The intellectual property that has been retained by Hitachi and that can be licensed in this manner does not relate solely or primarily to one or more of Opnext’s products, or groups of products; rather, the intellectual property that is licensed to Opnext by Hitachi is generally used broadly across Opnext’s entire product portfolio. Competition by third parties using the underlying technologies retained by Hitachi could harm the Opnext business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may record additional impairment charges that will adversely impact our results of operations.
As of March 28, 2015 , we had $2.8 million in other intangible assets and $41.4 million of property and equipment, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. If we make changes in our business strategy or if market or other conditions adversely affect our business operations, we may be forced to record an impairment charge related to these assets, which would adversely impact our results of operations. If impairment has occurred, we will be required to record an impairment charge for the difference between the carrying value of the other intangible assets and the implied fair value of the other intangible assets in the period in which such determination is made. The testing of other intangible assets for impairment requires us to make significant estimates about the future performance and cash flows of our business, as well as other assumptions. These estimates can be affected by numerous factors, including changes in economic, industry, or market conditions, changes in underlying business operations, future reporting unit operating performance, changes in competition, or changes in technologies. Any changes in key assumptions, or actual performance compared with those assumptions, about our business and its future prospects or other assumptions could affect the fair value of one or more reporting units, and result in an impairment charge.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 we completed our annual analysis for potential impairment of our goodwill, which included examining, based on factors and conditions then existing, the impact of current general economic conditions on our future prospects and the current level of our market capitalization. Based on this analysis, we determined that the goodwill related to our Mintera reporting unit was fully impaired. This resulted in a $10.9 million impairment charge in our statement of operations for fiscal year 2013. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, we recorded $0.9 million in impairment charges related to the impairment of certain technology that is now considered redundant following the acquisition of Opnext. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, we recorded an additional $13.7 million impairment charge related to the impairment of intangible assets related to certain technologies and we recorded impairment charges of $1.7 million related to other long-lived assets.
Our business and operating results may be adversely affected by natural disasters or other catastrophic events beyond our control.
Our business and operating results are vulnerable to natural disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, tsunami, volcanic activity and floods, as well as other events beyond our control such as power loss, telecommunications failures and uncertainties arising out of terrorist attacks in the United States and armed conflicts overseas. For example, in the latter three quarters of fiscal year 2012, our results of operations were materially and adversely impacted by the flooding in Thailand. Additionally, our corporate headquarters and a portion of our research and development and manufacturing operations are located in Silicon Valley, California, and select manufacturing facilities are located in Japan. These regions in particular have been vulnerable to natural disasters, such as the 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that occurred in Japan. The occurrence of any of these events could pose physical risks to our property and personnel, which may adversely affect our ability to produce and deliver products to our customers. Although we presently maintain insurance against certain of these events, we cannot be certain that our insurance will be adequate to cover any damage sustained by us or by our customers.
Our business involves the use of hazardous materials, and we are subject to environmental and import/export laws and regulations that may expose us to liability and increase our costs.
We handle hazardous materials as part of our manufacturing activities. Consequently, our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, the use and handling of hazardous substances and waste disposal. We may incur costs to comply with current or future environmental laws. As with other companies engaged in manufacturing activities that involve hazardous materials, a risk of environmental liability is inherent in our manufacturing activities, as is the risk that our facilities will be shut down in the event of a release of hazardous waste, or that we would be subject to extensive monetary liabilities. The costs associated with environmental compliance or remediation efforts or other environmental liabilities could adversely affect our business. Under applicable European Union regulations, we, along with other electronics component manufacturers, are prohibited from using lead and certain other hazardous materials in our products. We could lose business or face product returns if we fail to maintain these requirements properly.
In addition, the sale and manufacture of certain of our products require on-going compliance with governmental security and import/export regulations. We may, in the future, be subject to investigation which may result in fines for violations of security and import/export regulations. Furthermore, any disruptions of our product shipments in the future, including disruptions as a result of efforts to comply with governmental regulations, could adversely affect our revenues, gross margins and results of operations.
The new disclosure requirements related to the “conflict minerals” provision of the Dodd-Frank Act may limit our supply and increase our costs for certain metals used in our products and could affect our reputation with customers or shareholders.
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a new rule requiring public companies to disclose the use of specified minerals, known as conflict minerals, that are necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured. The new rule, which went into effect for calendar year 2013 and required a disclosure report to be filed with the SEC by June 2, 2014, requires companies to perform due diligence, disclose and report whether or not such minerals originate from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country. Portions of the new rule have been challenged in the courts and may be subject to further interpretation and amendment either of which could impose additional or different obligations on us. The new rule could affect sourcing at competitive prices and availability in sufficient quantities of certain minerals used in the manufacturing of our products. The number of suppliers who provide conflict-free minerals may be limited. In addition, there may be material costs associated with complying with the disclosure requirements, such as costs related to the due diligence process of determining the source of certain minerals used in our products, as well as costs of possible changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. As our supply chain is complex and we use contract manufacturers for some of our products, we may not be able to sufficiently verify the origins of the relevant minerals used in our products through the due diligence procedures that we implement, which may harm our reputation. If we cannot determine that our products exclude conflict minerals sourced from the DRC or adjoining

54

countries, some of our customers may discontinue, or materially reduce, purchases of our products, which could negatively affect our results of operations.
We can issue shares of preferred stock that may adversely affect your rights as a stockholder of our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 1.0 million shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time-to-time by our board of directors. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights superior to those of holders of our common stock. For example, an issuance of shares of preferred stock could:  
adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock;
make it more difficult for a third-party to gain control of us;
discourage bids for our common stock at a premium;
limit or eliminate any payments that the holders of our common stock could expect to receive upon our liquidation; or
otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We may in the future issue shares of authorized preferred stock at any time.
Delaware law and our charter documents contain provisions that could discourage or prevent a potential takeover, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders.
Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable. These include provisions:  
authorizing the board of directors to issue preferred stock;
prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;
limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders;
prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent;
creating a classified board of directors pursuant to which our directors are elected for staggered three-year terms;
permitting the board of directors to increase the size of the board and to fill vacancies;
requiring a super-majority vote of our stockholders to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation; and
establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings.
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which limit the right of a corporation to engage in a business combination with a holder of 15 percent or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting securities, or certain affiliated persons. We do not currently have a stockholder rights plan in place.
Although we believe that these charter and bylaw provisions, and provisions of Delaware law, provide an opportunity for the board to assure that our stockholders realize full value for their investment, they could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, even under circumstances that some stockholders may consider beneficial.

Execution Draft


$55,000,000
Oclaro, Inc.

6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020


PURCHASE AGREEMENT
February 12, 2015
JEFFERIES LLC
520 Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10022
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Oclaro, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) hereby agrees with you as follows:
1. Issuance of Securities . Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Company proposes to issue and sell to Jefferies LLC (the “ Initial Purchaser ”) $55,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “ Initial Securities ”). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “ Indenture ”), to be dated as of February 19, 2015, by and among the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “ Trustee ”). In addition, the Company has granted to the Initial Purchaser an option to purchase up to an additional $ 10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.00 % Convertible Senior Notes due 20 20 on the terms and conditions and for the purposes set forth in Section 2 (the “ Option Securities ” and, together with the Initial Securities, the “ Securities ”). The Securities will be convertible into duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Common Stock ”) including any such shares issuable upon conversion in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Final Offering Memorandum) (such shares, the “ Conversion Shares ”), on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the “Description of Notes” section of the Final Offering Memorandum (as hereinafter defined).
The Securities will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) thereunder (collectively, the “ Securities Act ”). Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities shall bear the legends set forth in the final offering memorandum, dated the date hereof (the “ Final Offering Memorandum ”). The Company has prepared (i) a preliminary offering memorandum, dated February 12, 2015 (the “ Preliminary Offering Memorandum ”), (ii) a pricing term sheet, dated the date hereof, attached hereto as Schedule I , which includes pricing terms and other information with respect to the Securities and the Conversion Shares (the “ Pricing Supplement ”), and (iii) the Final Offering Memorandum, in each case, relating to the offer and sale of the Securities (the “ Offering ”). All references in this Agreement to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Document (as defined herein) or the Final Offering Memorandum include, unless expressly stated otherwise, (i) all amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) all documents, financial statements and schedules and other information contained, incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference therein (and references in this Agreement to such information being “contained,” “included” or “stated” (and other references of like import) in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Document or the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean all such information contained, incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference therein) and (iii) any offering memorandum “wrapper” to be used in connection with offers to sell, solicitations of offers to buy or sales of the Securities in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are collectively referred to herein as the “ Time of Sale Document .”
2.      Terms of Offering . The Initial Purchaser has advised the Company, and the Company understands, that the Initial Purchaser will make offers to sell (the “ Exempt Resales ”) some or all of the Securities purchased by the Initial Purchaser hereunder on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Document to persons (the “ Subsequent Purchasers ”) whom the Initial Purchaser reasonably believes are “qualified institutional buyers” (“ QIBs ”) (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act). As used herein, “Time of Sale” means 7:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of this Agreement.
Holders of the Securities (including Subsequent Purchasers) will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), to be executed on and dated as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), among the Company and the Initial Purchaser. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will agree, among other things, to file with the SEC, under certain circumstances, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “ Shelf Registration Statement ”) relating to the resale of the Conversion Shares.
This Agreement, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities are collectively referred to herein as the “ Documents ”, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby are collectively referred to herein as the “ Transactions .”
3.      Purchase, Sale and Delivery .
(a)
On the basis of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Initial Purchaser, and the Initial Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities at a purchase price of 94.75% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.
(b)
The Company hereby grants to the Initial Purchaser an option to purchase up to $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Option Securities at the same purchase price as set forth above in Section 3(a) for the Initial Securities.

Equitable Consideration.

Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Conversions in Connection with (i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (ii) a Notice of Redemption:
The following table sets forth the number of additional shares by which we will increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its notes in connection with (i) a make‑whole fundamental change or (ii) a notice of redemption having the share price and effective date or date of the notice of redemption, as applicable, set forth below:
The exact share price and effective date or the date of the notice of redemption, as applicable, may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
if the share price is between two share price amounts in the table or the relevant date is between two dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight‑line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower share prices and the earlier and later dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
if the share price is greater than $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate; and
if the share price is less than $1.46 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate be increased on account of a make‑whole fundamental change to exceed 684.9315 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate is required to be adjusted as set forth under “Description of the Notes—Conversion rights—Conversion rate adjustments” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.
Additional and Modified Provisions of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum

Conversion rights—Settlement upon conversion

This section will be replaced with the following:
Upon conversion of the notes, we will deliver to a converting holder a number of shares of our common stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the applicable conversion rate, and, if applicable, pay any interest make-whole payment as described under “—Conversion rights—Interest make-whole payment upon conversions prior to February 15, 2018” below. We will deliver such shares of our common stock on the third business day immediately following the relevant conversion date, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share of our common stock issuable upon conversion based upon the closing sale price on the relevant conversion date (or, if such conversion date is not a trading day, on the immediately preceding trading day) and any such interest make-whole payment.
Each conversion will be deemed to have been effected as to any notes surrendered for conversion on the conversion date for such notes and the converting holder will become the record holder of any shares of our common stock due upon such conversion as of the close of business on such conversion date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market potentially limit the number of shares we may issue upon conversion of the notes. These standards generally require us to obtain the approval of our stockholders before entering into certain transactions that potentially result in the issuance of 20% or more of our common stock outstanding at the time the notes are issued. Consequently, unless we have obtained the requisite shareholder approval, if we are required to deliver shares of our common stock to a converting holder and such number of shares, in aggregate with all the other shares previously delivered by us upon conversion of notes, exceeds 19.99% of our common stock outstanding on the date that the notes are first issued, we will pay to such holder the value of any such excess shares in cash (based on the per-share volume-weighted average price of our common stock as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg Page “OCLR <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the 5 trading day period commencing on the second scheduled trading day next succeeding the relevant conversion date); provided that we will notify such holder of the exact manner in which such cash value will be determined no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the scheduled trading day immediately following the conversion date. 109,017,408 shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2015.
Description of Notes—No registration rights; additional interest

The title of this section is to be changed from “No registration rights; additional interest” to:

Rule 144 Resales and Registration Rights

The first paragraph of “Description of Notes – No registration rights; additional interest” is to be replaced by the following:

The issuance of the notes and the issuance of our common stock upon conversion of notes has not been registered under the Securities Act. As a result, you may only resell your notes or shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of notes pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to the resale registration statement described below.

In addition, the following paragraph is to be added to this section, as its last paragraph:

As of the Issue Date, the Company will enter into a resale registration rights agreement with Jefferies. This agreement will provide that the Company will file and seek to go effective on a resale registration statement, pursuant to the terms summarized below, only if Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is not available to the holders of the notes, on and following the date that is six months after the Issuance Date, with respect to any shares of common stock that have been issued upon conversion of the notes. If the Company fails at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the last date of original issuance of notes to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the SEC, as described above, then the Company will pay additional interest on outstanding notes as described in that section. In addition, if the Company is required to file and seek to go effective on the resale registration statement, then the Company will agree to file the registration statement by September 30, 2015 and will use its reasonable best efforts to go effective on that registration statement 90 days thereafter. Additional interest will accrue if the registration statement is not effective by that 90th day at a rate equal to, for each outstanding note, 0.25% per year for first 90 days after such registration default, then increase to 0.50% per year until such registration default is remedied, up to a maximum of 0.50% per year. The registration rights agreement will contain customary other terms, conditions and other provisions.

Risk Factors -- Risks relating to an investments in the notes and our common stock
The following additional risk factors are to be added to the heading above.

Restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the notes and the agreements governing our other indebtedness will restrict our ability to operate our business.

The Credit Agreement contains, the indenture governing the notes offered hereby will contain, and agreements governing indebtedness we may incur in the future may contain, covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, pay dividends, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate with other entities or sell all or substantially all of our assets. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial covenants. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under these agreements, which could allow the lenders or holders to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay outstanding borrowings when due, the lenders under the Credit Agreement, the trustee under the indenture governing these notes and similar agents under other agreements would have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to them, or accelerate the notes or other debt, as applicable. We may also be prevented from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise because of the limitations imposed on us by the restrictive covenants under our indebtedness.

Although the Credit Agreement and indenture contain and will contain together the restrictive covenants referred to above, the indenture will contain a limited set of restrictive covenants compared to customary high yield securities. As a result, while the we and our subsidiaries will be bound by the combined effect of the Credit Agreement’s and indenture’s restrictive covenants, the holders of the notes will have the benefit of only a limited subset of these restrictive covenants.

Despite existing debt levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt, which would increase the risks associated with our leverage.

Even with our existing debt levels, we may be able to incur substantial amounts of additional debt in the future, including debt under the Credit Agreement and any future credit facilities, some or all of which may be secured. We may also incur other additional indebtedness secured by liens, in which case the holders of that debt will be entitled to share in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of us at a priority level higher than you, as a holder of unsecured notes. Although the terms of the notes, the Credit Agreement and any future credit facilities will limit our ability to incur additional debt, these terms do not and will not prohibit us from incurring substantial amounts of additional debt. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and they now face could intensify and could further exacerbate the risks associated with our leverage.

In addition, under "-- The notes will not contain restrictive financial covenants, and we may incur substantially more debt or take other actions which may affect our ability to satisfy our obligations under the notes" and "-The notes and the indenture that will govern the notes will contain limited protections against certain types of important corporate events, and may not protect your investment upon the occurrence of such corporate events or other corporate events," in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, there are references to there not being limits on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt or enter into liens, among other things. Because of the covenants set forth below under "- Certain Covenants," there will exist such limitations, although the other lack of protections summarized in those two risk factors will remain the case.

Certain Covenants

An additional section entitled “Certain Covenants” is to be added above “Description of Notes – Merger, consolidation or sale of assets” as follows:

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness

For so long as any notes are outstanding, we will not, nor will we permit any of our Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness other than Permitted Debt; provided, however, that we may, and may permit any of our Subsidiaries to, incur Indebtedness (other than Permitted Debt) if:
(1)    no default or event of default under the indenture shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such incurrence or would occur as a consequence of such incurrence; and
(2)    after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would not exceed 4.00 to 1.00.
Liens

We will not and will not permit any of our Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or become effective any consensual Lien on our property or assets that secures Indebtedness of any kind unless all payments due under the notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien, except Permitted Liens.

(5)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under clauses (1), (2), (4) or (12) under this definition of Permitted Debt (other than clause (5) of this definition of “Permitted Debt”);

Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.
The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: (a) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; (b) with respect to contingent obligations, the maximum liability upon the occurrences of the contingency giving rise to the obligation; and (c) with respect to Hedging Obligations, the net amount payable, if any, by such Persons of such Hedging Obligations terminated at that time due to default by such Person.

Certain Tax Consequences of Conversion of the Notes with Interest Make-Whole Payment

Add the following language in place of the section entitled “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Additional Payments” in the preliminary offering memorandum:

Additional Payments

In certain circumstances we may be required to pay additional amounts in cash to holders of the notes as described under “Description of Notes—Events of default,” “Description of Notes—Rule 144 Resales and Registration Rights,” and “Description of notes—Conversion rights—Interest make-whole payment upon conversions prior to February 15, 2018”. Although not free from doubt, we intend to take the position that these features of the notes will not cause the notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable Treasury Regulations. Because of the lack of directly applicable authority, however, we can provide no assurance that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

Our determination in this regard, while not binding on the IRS, is binding on holders unless they disclose their contrary position to the IRS in the manner that is required by applicable Treasury Regulations. If our determination is incorrect, and these notes are determined to be contingent payment debt instruments, such determination could affect the timing, amount and character of the income recognized by holders. In such case, a U.S. holder may be required to accrue interest income on the notes based upon a comparable yield, regardless of the holder’s method of accounting. The “comparable yield” is the yield at which we would issue a fixed rate debt instrument with no contingent payments, but with terms and conditions similar to those of the notes. In addition, any gain on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the notes may be recharacterized as ordinary income. This discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. Holders of notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments.”

Add the following language immediately following the section entitled “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders—Conversion of the Notes” in the preliminary offering memorandum:

Conversion of the Notes with Interest Make-Whole Payment

To the extent a U.S. holder receives a cash payment in respect of the interest make‐whole provision in connection with a conversion of notes (as described under “Description of notes—Conversion rights—Interest make-whole payment upon conversions prior to February 15, 2018”), such holder may be required to recognize additional taxable income as a result of the payment. The tax rules regarding the treatment of the cash interest make‐whole payment are unclear. Although not free from doubt, we intend to treat such a conversion as a recapitalization, and this discussion assumes this treatment. In such case, gain, but not loss, would be recognized by the U.S. holder equal to the excess of the fair market value of our common stock and cash received (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be treated as interest) over the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note, but not to exceed the amount of cash received (excluding any cash received in lieu of a fractional share or attributable to accrued but unpaid interest). The amount of gain or loss recognized on the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share would be equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the U.S. holder’s tax basis in our common stock received that is allocable to the fractional share, as described in the following paragraph. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on conversion of a note generally would be capital gain or loss and would be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the conversion, the note has been held for more than one year.

The tax basis of our common stock received upon such a conversion (including any fractional share deemed to be received by the U.S. holder, but excluding any common stock attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, the tax basis of which would equal its fair market value) would equal the adjusted tax basis of the note that was converted, reduced by the amount of any cash received (excluding cash received in lieu of a fractional share or attributable to accrued but unpaid interest), and increased by the amount of gain, if any, recognized (other than gain recognized on any cash received with respect to a fractional share). A U.S. holder’s holding period for common stock would include the period during which the U.S. holder held the note, except that the holding period of any common stock received with respect to accrued but unpaid interest would commence on the day after our common stock is received. Holders of notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the treatment of such a conversion as a recapitalization.

Conversion of the Notes where Cash is Received Due to the Listing Standards of The NASDAQ Global Market

If a U.S. Holder converts notes and the notes are settled in cash and common stock due to the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market as described in “Description of Notes—Conversion rights—Settlement upon conversion,” the conversion may be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “recapitalization” (with cash as boot), in which case see the discussion of the tax consequences described in “—Conversion of the Notes with Interest Make-Whole Payment.” In the event the notes are settled solely in cash, however, the conversion may be taxed in the manner described under “—Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes or Common Stock.””

RE:    OCLARO, INC. (the “ Company ”)
Ladies & Gentlemen:
The undersigned is an owner of shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (“ Shares ”) or of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares. The Company proposes to conduct an offering (the “ Offering ”), pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, of Convertible Senior Notes (the “ Notes ”) for which Jefferies LLC (“ Jefferies ”) will act as the representative of the initial purchasers. The Notes will be convertible into Shares. The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will benefit each of the Company and the undersigned. The undersigned acknowledges that the initial purchasers are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in conducting the Offering and, at a subsequent date, in entering into a purchase agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with the Company with respect to the Offering.

In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, during the Lock-up Period, the undersigned will not (and will cause any Family Member not to), without the prior written consent of Jefferies, which may withhold its consent in its sole discretion:
Sell or Offer to Sell any Shares or Related Securities currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned or such Family Member,
enter into any Swap,
make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Shares or Related Securities, or cause to be filed a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) with respect to any such registration, or
publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.
The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:
(a)

(b)
the transfer of Shares or Related Securities in accordance with a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act existing prior to the date hereof,
(c)
the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Shares or Related Securities, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Shares or Related Securities during the 90‑day restricted period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Shares or Related Securities may be made under such plan during the 90-day restricted period,
(d)

(e)
transfers of Shares or Related Securities to the Company (i) as forfeitures to satisfy tax withholding and remittance obligations of the undersigned in connection with the vesting or exercise of equity awards granted pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plans in existence as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) pursuant to a net exercise or cashless exercise by the undersigned of outstanding equity awards pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plans in existence as of the date of the Purchase Agreement.
The undersigned agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Shares or Related Securities held by the undersigned and the undersigned's Family Members, if any, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
The undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any Family Member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale of the Shares. The undersigned will not, and will cause any Family Member not to take, directly or indirectly, any such action.
Whether or not the Offering occurs as currently contemplated or at all depends on market conditions and other factors. The Offering will only be made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the underwriters. This agreement shall lapse and become null and void if the Offering shall not have been consummated on or before March 31, 2015.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement.

Section 3.01      Title and Terms; Payments . The aggregate Principal Amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is initially limited to $65,000,000 (the “ Initial Notes ”), except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 3.09, 3.11, 3.12 or 8.05. The Company may, from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, execute and deliver to the Trustee for authentication Additional Notes of an unlimited aggregate principal amount, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Additional Notes to or upon the written order of the Company, without any further action by the Company hereunder; provided , however , that no such Additional Notes may be issued unless fungible with the Initial Notes under U.S. securities laws and for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Additional Notes shall have the same terms as Initial Notes (other than issue price, and in some cases, the date from which interest shall accrue).
The Notes shall be known and designated as the “6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020” of the Company. The Principal Amount shall be payable on the Maturity Date.
The Principal Amount of, and interest on, Physical Notes shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in the continental United States of America. Interest on Physical Notes will be payable (i) to Holders having an aggregate Principal Amount of $1,000,000 or less of Notes, by check mailed to such Holders at the address set forth in the Register and (ii) to Holders having an aggregate Principal Amount of more than $1,000,000 of Notes, either by check mailed to such Holders or, upon application by a Holder to the Registrar not later than the relevant Regular 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 Registrar to the contrary in writing. The Company will pay principal of, interest on, and the Interest Make-Whole Payment, if applicable, on Global Notes in immediately available funds to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such global note, on each Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date or other payment date, as the case may be.
Any Notes repurchased by the Company will be retired and no longer outstanding hereunder.
Section 3.02      Ranking . The Notes constitute a general unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Company.
Section 3.03      Denominations . The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
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 any of its Vice Presidents.
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 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 Notes or as Physical Notes. The Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.
Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this 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.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. 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 Physical Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Physical Notes.
Section 3.06      Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange .
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 “ 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 “Registrar” (the “ 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 Indenture (including Sections 2.02, 3.07 and 3.11).
At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of Section 3.07 and to Section 3.11, 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 this 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 Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the registration of transfer of any Restricted Notes, the Company or the Trustee may require evidence satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend on such Notes.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company and the 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 Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note in the circumstances set forth in Section 3.11(a)(iv).
b) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “ Agent Members ”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf any Agent Member may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Note, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Agent Members or any other Person on whose behalf Agent Members may act with respect to (i) any ownership interests in the Global Note, (ii) the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) any notice required hereunder or (iv) any payments under or with respect to the Global Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.
Section 3.07      Transfer Restrictions.
a) Restricted Notes.
Every Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, except any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) that bears, or that is required under this Section 3.07 to bear, the Restricted Notes Legend will be deemed to be a “ Restricted Note .” Each Restricted Note will be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Indenture (including in the Restricted Notes Legend) and will bear the restricted CUSIP number for the Notes unless such restrictions on transfer are eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and each Holder of a Restricted Note, by such Holder’s acceptance of such Restricted Note, will be deemed to be bound by the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Note.
Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any Note (or any security issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, except any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion thereof) will bear the Restricted Notes Legend unless:
(1)      such Note, since last held by the Company or an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 144), if ever, was transferred (1) to a Person other than (x) the Company or (y) an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 144) or a Person that was an affiliate of the Company within the 90 days immediately preceding such transfer and (2) pursuant to a registration statement that was effective under the Securities Act at the time of such transfer;
(2)      such Note was transferred (1) to a Person other than (x) the Company or (y) an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 144) or a Person that was an affiliate of the Company within the 90 days immediately preceding such transfer and (2) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act; or
(3)      the Company delivers written notice to the Trustee and the Registrar stating that the Restricted Notes Legend may be removed from such Note.
In addition, until the Resale Restriction Termination Date:
(1)      no transfer of any Note will be registered by the Registrar prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date unless the transferring Holder delivers the form of assignment set forth on the Note, with the appropriate box checked, to the Trustee; and
(2)      the Registrar will not register any transfer of any Note that is a Restricted Note to a Person that is an affiliate of the Company or has been an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 144) within the 90 days immediately preceding the date of such proposed transfer.
On and after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any Note (or any security issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, except any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion thereof) will bear the Restricted Notes Legend at any time the Company reasonably determinates that, to comply with law, such Note (or such securities issued in exchange for or substitution of a Note) must bear the Restricted Notes Legend.
b) Restricted Stock.
Every share of Common Stock that bears, or that is required under this Section 3.07 to bear, the Restricted Stock Legend will be deemed to be “ Restricted Stock .” Each share of Restricted Stock will be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Indenture (including in the Restricted Stock Legend) and will bear a restricted CUSIP number unless such restrictions on transfer are eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and each Holder of Restricted Stock, by such Holder’s acceptance of Restricted Stock, will be deemed to be bound by the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Stock.
Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any share of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of a Note will be issued in definitive form and will bear the Restricted Stock Legend unless:
(1)      such share of Common Stock was transferred (1) to a Person other than (x) the Company or (y) an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 144) or a Person that was an affiliate of the Company within the 90 days immediately preceding such transfer and (2) pursuant to a registration statement that was effective under the Securities Act at the time of such conversion;
(2)      such share of Common Stock was transferred (1) to a Person other than (x) the Company or (y) an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 144) or a Person that was an affiliate of the Company within the 90 days immediately preceding such transfer and (2) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act;
(3)      such Note, regardless of whether bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, was not, at the time of its conversion, required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend pursuant to Section 3.07(a) and such Common Stock was issued to a Person other than (1) the Company or (2) an affiliate of the Company; or
(4)      the Company delivers written notice to the Trustee, the Registrar and the transfer agent for the Common Stock stating that such share of Common Stock need not bear the Restricted Stock Legend.
On and after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any share of Common Stock will be issued in definitive form and will bear the Restricted Stock Legend at any time the Company reasonably determinates that, to comply with law, such share of Common Stock must bear the Restricted Stock Legend.
c) As used in this Section 3.07, the term “ transfer ” means any sale, pledge, transfer, loan, hypothecation or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Note, any interest therein or any Restricted Stock.
Section 3.08      Expiration of Restrictions .
a) Physical Notes. Any Physical Note (or any security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) that does not constitute a Restricted Note may be exchanged for a new Note or Notes of like tenor and aggregate Principal Amount that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend required by Section 3.07. To exercise such right of exchange, the Holder of such Note must surrender such Note in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 and deliver any additional documentation reasonably required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar in connection with such exchange.
b) Global Notes; Resale Restriction Termination Date.
If, on the Free Trade Date, or the next succeeding Business Day if the Free Trade Date is not a Business Day, any Notes are represented by a Global Note that is a Restricted Note (any such Global Note, a “ Restricted Global Note ”), as promptly as practicable, the Company will automatically exchange every beneficial interest in each Restricted Global Note for beneficial interests in Global Notes that are not subject to the restrictions set forth in the Restricted Notes Legend and in Section 3.07 hereof.
To effect such automatic exchange, the Company will (A) deliver to the Depositary an instruction letter for the Depositary’s mandatory exchange process at least 15 days immediately prior to the Free Trade Date and (B) deliver to each of the Trustee and the Registrar a duly completed Free Transferability Certificate and a Company Order promptly after the Free Trade Date, but not an Opinion of Counsel. The first date on which both the Trustee and the Registrar have received the Free Transferability Certificate will be known as the “ Resale Restriction Termination Date .”
Immediately upon receipt of the Free Transferability Certificate by each of the Trustee and the Registrar, the Company will issue and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes not bearing such Restricted Notes Legend and bearing an Unrestricted CUSIP number for the Notes.
Promptly after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the Company will provide Bloomberg LLP with a copy of the Free Transferability Certificate and will use reasonable efforts to cause Bloomberg LLP to adjust its screen page for the Notes to indicate that the Notes are no longer Restricted Notes and are now identified by an unrestricted CUSIP number.
Prior to the Company’s delivery of the Free Transferability Certificate and afterwards, the Company and the Trustee will comply with the Applicable Procedures and otherwise use reasonable efforts to cause each Global Note to be identified by an unrestricted CUSIP number in the facilities of the Depositary by the date the Free Transferability Certificate is delivered to the Trustee and the Registrar or as promptly as possible thereafter.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 3.08(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), the Company will not be required to deliver the Free Transferability Certificate if it reasonably believes that removal of the Restricted Notes Legend or the changes to the CUSIP numbers for the Notes could result in or facilitate transfers of the Notes in violation of applicable law.
Section 3.09      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.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.09, the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.09 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 3.10      Persons Deemed Owners . Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 3.11      Transfer and Exchange.
a) Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.
Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.11, Physical Notes and beneficial interests in Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time as desired, and each such transfer or exchange will be noted by the Registrar in the Register.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with this Indenture will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
No service charge will be imposed on any Holder of a Physical Note or any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for any exchange or registration of transfer, but each of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar may require such Holder or owner of a beneficial interest to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such registration of transfer or exchange.
Unless the Company specifies otherwise, none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any co-Registrar will be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note (i) that has been surrendered for conversion, (ii) that has been called for redemption or (iii) as to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn, in each case, except to the extent any portion of such Note is not subject to the foregoing.
The Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
b) In General; Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, except to the extent required by Section 3.11(c):
(1)      all Notes will be represented by one or more Global Notes;
(2)      every transfer and exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the provisions of this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3.07); and
(3)      each Global Note may be transferred only as a whole and only (A) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (B) by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or (C) by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Global Note will be exchanged for Physical Notes if the Depositary delivers notice to the Company that:
(1)      the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary; or
(2)      the Depositary is no longer registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act;
(3)      and, in each case, the Company promptly delivers a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after receiving notice from the Depositary.
In each such case, each Global Note will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause each Global Note to be cancelled in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, and the Company, in accordance with Section 3.04, will promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.04, will promptly authenticate and deliver, for each beneficial interest in each Global Note so exchanged, an aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest, registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary specifies, and bearing any legends that such Physical Notes are required to bear under Section 3.07.
In addition, if (x) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that any Global Note will be exchangeable for Physical Notes or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in each case, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may exchange such beneficial interest for Physical Notes by delivering a written request to the Registrar.
In such case, (A) the Registrar will deliver notice of such request to the Company and the Trustee, which notice will identify the owner of the beneficial interest to be exchanged, the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest and the CUSIP of the relevant Global Note; (B) the Company will, in accordance with Section 3.04, promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.04, will promptly authenticate and deliver, to such owner, for the beneficial interest so exchanged by such owner, Physical Notes registered in such owner’s name having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest and bearing any legends that such Physical Notes are required to bear under Section 3.07, and (C) the Registrar, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, will cause the principal amount of such Global Note to be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest so exchanged.

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 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) surrendered for conversion on the Conversion Date for such Notes (or portion thereof) and the converting Holder shall be deemed to have become the record holder of any shares of Common Stock due upon such conversion as of the Close of Business on the relevant Conversion Date.
d) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Note 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.
e) Each share certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes that are Restricted Notes shall bear the Restricted Stock Legend as set forth in Section 3.07.
Section 7.03      Settlement upon Conversion .
a) With respect to any conversion of Notes, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 7, deliver to converting Holders, in respect of each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes being converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate, and, if applicable, pay any Interest Make-Whole Payment as described in Section 7.03(f), on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.03(d) and any cash payable in connection with any such Interest Make-Whole Payment pursuant to Section 7.03(f).
b) Upon conversion, Holders shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest unless such conversion occurs between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates and the converting Holder was the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date.
c) If Notes are converted after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest, Holders of such Notes at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will receive the interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the Close of Business on any Regular Record Date to the Open of Business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment need be made (i) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (ii) if the Company has delivered notice specifying a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the first Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (iii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the first Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (iv) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note; or (v) for conversions made pursuant to Section 7.03(f).
d) The Company shall not issue fractional shares 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 (and the number of fractional shares, if any, for which cash shall be delivered) 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 would be issuable upon the conversion of any Notes, the Company shall make payment in an amount of cash based on the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined (calculated to the nearest 1/1000th of a share) by multiplying the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date (or, if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, on the immediately preceding Trading Day) by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.
e) By delivery to the Holder of the full number of shares of Common Stock, together with any cash payment for fractional shares and the Interest Make-Whole Payment, if applicable, the Company will be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the Principal Amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date. Upon conversion of the Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited, subject to Section 7.03(c) above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until the Company obtains shareholder approval to issue 20% or more of the Common Stock outstanding at the time the Notes are issued in accordance with certain listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Market, if the Company is required to deliver shares of Common Stock to a converting Holder and such number of shares, in aggregate with all the other shares of Common Stock previously delivered by the Company upon conversion of Notes, exceeds 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding on the date that the Notes are first issued, the Company will pay to such Holder the value of any such excess shares in cash (based on the per-share volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg Page “OCLR <equity> AQR” (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the 5 Trading Day period commencing on the second Scheduled Trading Day next succeeding the relevant Conversion Date); provided that the Company will notify such Holder of the exact manner in which such cash value will be determined no later than the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date.
f) Prior to February 15, 2018, in the event the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for 20 or more Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending within five Trading Days prior to the date the Company receives a Conversion Notice exceeds the Conversion Price in effect on each such Trading Day, the Company shall, in addition to delivering the shares of Common Stock upon conversion by the Holder of the Notes pursuant to Section 7.03, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, make a payment (the “ Interest Make-Whole Payment ”) in cash equal to the sum of the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Notes to be converted through February 15, 2018. The Company will notify Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent) of such Interest Make-Whole Payment amount no later than one Business Day after the Company receives the Conversion Notice.
If a Holder converts its Notes pursuant to this Section 7.03(f) after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest and before the Open of Business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, the Company will not pay accrued interest to any converting Holder, and will instead pay the full amount of the relevant interest payment on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record on such Interest Record Date. In such case, the Interest Make-Whole Payment to such converting Holders will equal the sum of the remaining interest payments, starting with the next Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been provided for until February 15, 2018, calculated as described in this Section 7.03(f).
Any Holder that converts its Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change as described in Section 7.07 will not receive the Interest Make-Whole Payment but will instead receive the Additional Shares pursuant to Section 7.07 and as set forth in the table in Schedule A .
Section 7.04      Adjustment of Conversion Rate . The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs as described below, except that the Company will not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of Notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and on the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 7.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if such Holders held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment thereof in respect of such transaction, multiplied by the Principal Amount of Notes held by such Holders, divided by $1,000.
a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, or the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR 1  = CR 0  x
OS 1
OS 0
 
 
Where,
CR 0 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
CR 1 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately after the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable;
OS 0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable; and
OS 1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately after the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 7.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.
b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the date of such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR 1  = CR 0  x
OS 0 + X
OS 0 + Y
 
 
where,
CR 0 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;
CR 1 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;
OS 0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record Date;
X =    the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y =    the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants.
The foregoing increase in the Conversion Rate shall be successively made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be immediately readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such distribution had not been fixed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase made for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.
In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of shares of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable upon exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities (the “ Distributed Property ”), to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock, excluding:
(1)      dividends or distributions of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 7.04(a) or Section 7.04(b), as the case may be;
(2)      dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 7.04(d); and
(3)      Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 7.04(c) apply;
then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR 1  = CR 0  x
SP 0
SP 0 - FMV
 
 
where,
CR 0 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;
CR 1 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;
SP 0 =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
FMV =    the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
provided that if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or greater than “SP 0 ” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing increase, adequate provision will be made so that each Holder of a Note shall receive on the date on which the Distributed Property is distributed to holders of the Common Stock, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of the Notes, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such distribution; provided further that if the Board of Directors determines “FMV” for purposes of the foregoing increase 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 for purposes of determining “SP 0 ” as set forth above.
An increase in the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall become effective after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary, or other business unit or affiliate, of the Company, where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the Spin-Off) on a major U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange (a “ Spin-Off ”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR 1  = CR 0  x
FMV 0 + MP 0
 
MP 0
 
 
 
where
CR 0 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
CR 1 =    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 shares of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were Common Stock) over the first ten 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 the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
The increase in the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph will be determined as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period, references with respect to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, and including the effective date of such Spin-Off to, and including, and the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence).
For purposes of this Section 7.04(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 7.12), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“ Trigger Event ”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 7.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 7.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or 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 7.04. If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets 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 rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately 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 7.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share of Common Stock redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 7.04(a), Section 7.04(b) and this Section 7.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 7.04(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:
(A)    a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 7.04(a) is applicable (the “ Clause A Distribution ”); or
(B)    a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 7.04(b) is applicable (the “ Clause B Distribution ”),
then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 7.04(c) is applicable (the “ Clause C Distribution ”) and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate required by this Section 7.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate required by Section 7.04(a) and Section 7.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable” within the meaning of Section 7.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 7.04(b).
d)
If any cash dividend or distribution is paid or made to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR 1  = CR 0  x
SP 0
SP 0 – C
 
 
where,
CR 0 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR 1 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP 0 =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, 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 shares of Common Stock.
The increase in the Conversion Rate under this Section 7.04(d) will become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP 0 ” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution.
e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of 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 average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR 1  = CR 0  x
AC + (SP 1  x OS 1 )
OS 0  x SP 1
 
 
where
CR 0 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires;
CR 1 =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires;
AC =    the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer;
OS 0 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer of exchange offer);
OS 1 =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer); and
SP 1 =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period immediately following, and including, on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires.
The increase in the Conversion Rate under this Section 7.04(e) shall occur at the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires but will be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within the first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period immediately following, and including, the date any such tender offer or exchange offer expires, references to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate.
f) Except as herein provided, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formulas would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split or share combination and subject to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in this Section 7.04).
g) In addition to those Conversion Rate adjustments required by Sections 7.04(a), 7.04(b), 7.04(c), 7.04(d) and 7.04(e), and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Global Market (including Market Rule 5635) and, if applicable, any securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time (i) may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to this Section 7.04(g), the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Notes a notice of the increase at least 5 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.
h)
The Conversion Rate will not be adjusted, among other things:
(1)      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 Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(2)      upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee or director benefit plan or program of the Company, or assumed by the Company, or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(3)      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) above and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued, except as set forth in Section 7.12;
(4)      for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(5)      for accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any.
i) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate under this Article 7 shall be calculated to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Common Stock. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Applicable Conversion Rate. Any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any conversion of the Notes (solely with respect to the Notes to be converted), the Company shall give effect to all adjustments that Company otherwise has deferred pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and those adjustments will no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment.
j) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officer’s 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 Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s 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, 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 became effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at such Holder’s latest address appearing on the list of Holders provided for in 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.
k) In any case in which this Section 7.04 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 7.03.
l) For purposes of this Section 7.04, 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.
m) A Holder of Notes may, in some circumstances, including a distribution of cash dividends to holders of shares of the Common Stock, be deemed to have received a distribution subject to U.S. federal income tax as a result of an adjustment or the nonoccurrence of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate. To the extent the applicable withholding agent pays withholding taxes or backup withholding on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of a Note as a result of an adjustment or the nonoccurrence of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the applicable withholding agent may, at its option, set off such payments against payments on the Note or, in certain circumstances, the Common Stock received on any conversion of the Note.
Section 7.05      Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . In the case of (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company, (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or (iv) any statutory share exchange, in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “ Merger Event ”), then, at the effective time of the Merger Event, the Company shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 14.01 providing for the right to convert each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “ Reference Property ”) upon such Merger Event. If such Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of shares of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall notify Holders of the Notes and the Trustee of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing.
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 7.05 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 7.04 shall not apply.
Section 7.06      Adjustments of Prices . Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires a calculation of the Last Reported Sale Prices over a span of multiple days (including with respect to the Share Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Company will make appropriate adjustments determined by the Company or its agents to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Record Date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period during which such prices are to be calculated. Such adjustments will be effective as of the Ex-Dividend Date, Record Date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event causing the adjustment to the Conversion Rate.
Section 7.07      Adjustment upon Conversion in connection with (i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (ii) the Delivery of a Notice of Redemption.
a) If (i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or (ii) the Company delivers a Notice of Redemption and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with (1) such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (2) delivery of such Notice of Redemption, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “ Additional Shares ”) as set forth below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” (x) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent during the period from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (2) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) or (y) the delivery of a Notice of Redemption if the Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the date of any Notice of Redemption until the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date as provided under Article 5.
b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with (i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (ii) the delivery of a Notice of Redemption, the Company shall deliver shares of Common Stock, including the Additional Shares, as provided under Section 7.03. If the consideration for the shares of Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change is comprised entirely of cash, for any conversion of the Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the conversion obligation will be calculated based solely on the Share Price for the transaction and will be deemed to be, per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, an amount equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate (including any adjustment as described in this Section 7.07) multiplied by such Share Price. In such event, the conversion obligation will be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date.
c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased will be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “ Effective Date ”) or the date of the Notice of Redemption, as applicable, and the price (the “ Share Price ”) as determined under the two immediately following sentences. If the holders of the shares of Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. Otherwise, the Share Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the date of the Notice of Redemption, as applicable.
d) The Share Prices set forth in the column headings 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 pursuant to Section 7.04. The adjusted Share Prices shall equal the Share Prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Share Price 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 7.04.
For the avoidance of doubt, if a Holder converts its Notes in connection the delivery of a Notice of Redemption, then the Holder will be entitled to the shares of Common Stock based on the then applicable Conversion Rate as adjusted by the table in Schedule A but not also the present value of coupon payments that are part of the Redemption Price. A Holder that has its Notes redeemed following the delivery of a Notice of Redemption will receive only the Redemption Price and not also the Additional Shares contemplated by the table in Schedule A .
e) The exact Share Prices and Effective Date or the date of the Notice of Redemption, as applicable, may not be set forth in the table in Schedule A , in which case:
If the Share Price is between two Share Prices in the table or the relevant date is between two dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Prices and the earlier and later dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
If the Share Price is greater than $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Share Prices pursuant to Section 7.07(d)), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
If the Share Price is less than $1.46 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Share Prices pursuant to Section 7.07(d)), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate exceed 684.9315 per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted as set forth in Section 7.04.
f) If a Holder of Notes elects to convert its Notes prior to (i) the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (ii) the date of the Notice of Redemption, as the case may be, and the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Redemption does not occur, such Holder shall not be entitled to an increased Conversion Rate in connection with such conversion.
g) The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the date of the Notice of Redemption, as applicable, and issue a press release announcing such date no later than five Business Days after such Date.
Section 7.08      Taxes on Shares Issued . Any issue of share 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 or duties 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 shares 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 share 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 7.09      Reservation of Shares; Shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements . 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 shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
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 7.10      Responsibility of Trustee and Conversion Agent . The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder 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 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 share 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 7. 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 7.05 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 7.05 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 11.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s 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 7.11      Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions . In case:
a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7.04; or
b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock of options, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other options, rights or warrants; or
c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par 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 shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; 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 Holder at such Holder’s address appearing on the list of Holders provided for in Section 3.06 of this Indenture, as promptly as practicable, 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 shares 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, reorganization, 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 shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, 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, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
Section 7.12      Shareholder Rights Plan . Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes pursuant to this Article 7 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any current or subsequent shareholder rights agreement adopted by the Company, as any such agreement may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to any conversion such rights have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed, to all holders of the Common Stock, Distributed Property as described in Section 7.03(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 7.13      Company Determination Final . Any determination that the Company or its Board of Directors must make pursuant to this Article 7 shall be conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7, absent manifest error, and set forth in a Board Resolution.
Section 7.14      Listing Standards . Listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Select Market generally require the Company to obtain approval of the Company’s shareholders before entering into certain transactions that potentially result in the issuance of 20% or more of the Common Stock outstanding at the at the time the Notes are issued unless the Company obtains shareholder approval of issuances in excess of such limitations. These restrictions will apply at any time when the Notes are outstanding, regardless of whether the Company then has a class of securities listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market. The Company shall not enter into any transaction, or take any other action, that would require an increase in the Conversion Rate (whether under Section 7.04 or Section 7.07) that would result, in the aggregate, in the Notes becoming convertible for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of any limitations imposed by the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Select Market, without complying, if applicable, with the shareholder approval rules contained in such listing standards.

c) No Payment During an Acceleration . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be purchased by the Company at the option of the Holders pursuant to this Section 8.01 if the Principal Amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

Section 3.02      Acceleration of Maturity: Waiver of Past Defaults and Rescission .
a) If an Event of Default (other than those specified in Section 9.01(i) and 9.01(j) involving the Company, and as otherwise provided in Section 9.03) 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 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid 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 shall become immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(i) or Section 9.01(j) with respect to the Company, 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes will automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may (x) waive any past Default and its consequences and (y) at any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article 9 provided, rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except, in each case, with respect to a Default described in Section 9.01(a), Section 9.01(b) or Section 9.01(c), or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 14 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected, if:
(1)      such rescission will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and
(2)      all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid.
Upon any such waiver, the Default which has been waived shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every other purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 3.03      Additional Interest .
a) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the last date of original issuance of any of the Initial Notes, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K), or the Notes are not otherwise Freely Tradable (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the Principal Amount of Notes outstanding for each day during the first 90 calendar days during which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or for which the Notes are not Freely Tradable (ending on the date that is one year from the last date of original issuance of any of the Initial Notes). If such Additional Interest accrues for more than 90 consecutive dates, the rate at which the Additional Interest accrues will increase to 0.50% per annum on the Principal Amount of then outstanding Notes beginning on the 91st consecutive day on which it accrues and ending on the last consecutive day on which it continues to accrue.
Further, if, and for so long as, the Restrictive Notes Legend has not been removed from the Notes, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Notes are not otherwise Freely Tradable as of the 370th day after the last date of original issuance of any of the Initial Notes, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes. Such Additional Interest will accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the Principal Amount of Notes outstanding until the Restrictive Notes Legend has been removed in accordance with Section 3.08(b), the Notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Notes are Freely Tradable.
The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 9.03(a) are separate and distinct from, and in addition to, the obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 9.03(b). Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 9.03(a) will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as ordinary interest is payable pursuant to Section 2.03.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, if so elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.10 hereof will (i) for the first 90 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the Principal Amount of outstanding Notes and (ii) from the 91st day until the 180th day following the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the Principal Amount of outstanding Notes. If the Company so elects, the Additional Interest payable under this Section 9.03(b) will be payable on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such Event of Default first occurs to, but excluding, the 180th day thereafter, or such earlier date on which such Event of Default has been cured or waived or ceases to exist. On the 181st day after such Event of Default, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived prior to such 181st day, Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.02. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) upon an Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.02. Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as ordinary interest is payable pursuant to Section 2.03.
The Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) will be in addition to any Additional Interest that may accrue pursuant to Section 9.03(a) or the Registration Rights Agreement.
In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 9.03(b) as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.10 in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the Close of Business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs. Upon the failure to timely give all Holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent such notice, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.02.
Payments of the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and Principal Amount or interest that are not made when due and payable shall accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate.
Section 3.04      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 on the Maturity Date therefor or, as applicable, in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, Interest Make-Whole Payment or Redemption 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 on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this 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 3.05      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 this Indenture and applicable law in order to have claims of the 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 11.07.
No provision of this 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 3.06      Application of Money Collected . Any money or property 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 or property 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 11.07;
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes for, as applicable, the Principal Amount, Fundamental Change Purchase Price, Interest Make-Whole Payment, Redemption Price or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) 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 3.07      Limitation on Suits . No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, 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 9.01(a), Section 9.01(b) or Section 9.01(c)) unless:
(1)      such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee that an Event of Default is continuing;
(2)      the Holder or 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;
(3)      such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;
(4)      the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such request and offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5)      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 this 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 this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.
Section 3.08      Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Redemption 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 Purchase Date, any Redemption Date or otherwise, as applicable), any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) and to convert the Notes in accordance with Article 7 and receive the Interest Make-Whole Payment, if applicable, 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 without the consent of such Holder.
Section 3.09      Restoration of Rights and Remedies . If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this 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 3.10      Rights and Remedies Cumulative . Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.09, 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.
Section 3.11      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 3.12      Control by Holders . The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will be required in the exercise of its powers vested in it by this Indenture to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. Furthermore, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
Section 3.13      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 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 9.13 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 the Maturity Date of such Note or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

Upon any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person or any sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person in accordance with Section 10.01, the Successor Company formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposal is made shall succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter. If the predecessor is still in existence after such transaction, it will be released from its obligations and covenants under this indenture and the Notes, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its properties and assets.

In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), 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 person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(1)      prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:
i.

e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney (at the reasonable expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation);

i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and the Indenture; and
j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Section 5.05      Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Registrar May Own Notes . The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.
Section 5.06      Monies to be Held in Trust . Subject to the provisions of Section 13.04, all monies and properties received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 5.09      Conflicting Interests of Trustee . If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, this Indenture.
Section 5.10      Eligibility of Trustee . There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or if such Person is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000). If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.10, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and to the Holders of Notes. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment ninety (90) days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, appoint a successor identified in such notice or may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or, if any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of Section 9.13, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:
(1)      the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 11.09 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months; or
(2)      the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or
(3)      the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;
then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 9.13, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; provided, however , that if no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment ninety (90) days after either the Company or the Holders has removed the Trustee, the Trustee so removed may petition at its own expense any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.
c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless, within ten (10) days after notice to the Company of such nomination, the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, or if such Trustee so removed or any Holder fails to act, the Company, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 11.11(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.
d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.11 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 11.12.
Section 5.12      Acceptance by Successor Trustee . Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 11.11 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.07.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 11.12 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 11.09 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.10.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 11.12, the Company (or the former trustee, at the written direction of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of Notes at their addresses as they shall appear on the Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

2.      Conditions to the Company’s Obligations Under this Agreement & Registration .
(a)      Conditions to the Company’s Obligations Under this Agreement .

For the avoidance of doubt, if the such conditions never arise, then this Agreement will neither take effect nor be effective.
(b)      Registration.
(i)
On or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement will be on Form S-1 or S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or S-3, in which case such registration will be on another appropriate form for such purpose) and will contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) a “Plan of Distribution” substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A , as the same may be amended in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline, and will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement (or a Subsequent Form S-3, as defined below) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the first year after the Effective Date or such earlier date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities as determined by the counsel to the Company (the “ Effectiveness Period ”).
(ii)
With respect to Registrable Securities not already covered by a Registration Statement, the Company will not be obligated to file (i) more than one pre-effective amendment or supplement to a Registration Statement for all Holders during any fiscal quarter and (ii) more than one post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement for all Holders during any semi-annual period, and provided further, in all such cases involving supplements or amendments (whether pre-effective or post-effective), the Company will only be obligated to make a filing when the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such amendment or supplement is more than $5.0 million.
(c)      Suspension Periods. Notwithstanding Section 2(b) , the Company may, at any time, delay the filing or delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or, without suspending such effectiveness, deliver a notice (a “ Suspension Notice ”) that instructs any selling Holders not to sell any securities included in the Registration Statement or delay the filing of any amendment or supplement pursuant to Section 3 , if the board of directors of the Company has determined and promptly notifies the selling Holders in writing that in its reasonable good faith judgment (i) a material event has occurred or is likely to occur with respect to the Company that has not been publicly disclosed and, if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Company and its ability to consummate the registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities or (ii) such registration could reasonably be expected to interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger, tender offer or other significant transaction involving the Company (a “ Suspension Period ”), by providing the selling Holders with written notice of such Suspension Period and the reasons therefor. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to provide such notice at least calendar ten days prior to the commencement of such a Suspension Period; provided, however, that in any event the Company will provide such notice no later than the commencement of such Suspension Period; provided, further, that in no event will one or more Suspension Periods exceed, in the aggregate, 90 days during any consecutive 12-month period.
(d)      Additional Interest. The parties hereto agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Company fails to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2 and that, in such case, it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if the Company becomes obligated under Section 2(a) to file a Registration Statement, and if:
(i)
a Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline;
(ii)
a Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but, during the applicable Effectiveness Period, will cease to be effective, including by reason of its withdrawal or termination pursuant to Section 3(e) , or, other than by reason of a Suspension Period as provided in Section 2(c) , will fail to be usable for its intended purpose without such disability being cured within ten Business Days by an effective post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus, a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that cures such failure or the effectiveness of a Subsequent Form S-3; or
(iii)
the Company extends any Suspension Period beyond 90 days during any consecutive 12-month period.
(each such event referred to in foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), a “Registration Default ”), then in such event as partial relief for the damages to any Holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Registrable Securities and not as a penalty (which remedy will not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or equity), the Company hereby agrees to pay to each Holder, subject to Section 2(e) , Additional Interest equal to 0.25% per year on all outstanding Notes (and all the outstanding Conversion Shares to the extent any Notes have been converted prior to the occurrence of the Registration Default and such Conversion Shares remain Registrable Securities) for the first 90 days after such Registration Default and then, if such Registration Default is then continuing, 0.50% per year, up to a maximum of 0.50% per year on all outstanding Notes; (and all the outstanding Conversion Shares to the extent any Notes have been converted prior to the occurrence of the Registration Default and such Conversion Shares remain Registrable Securities); provided that any payment on Conversion Shares will be calculated based on the principal amount of the Notes upon conversion of which such Conversion Shares have been issued; provided further that any such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and be owing to Holders hereunder and under the Indenture when any such Registration Default will cease, be remedied or be cured The Company will pay any Additional Interest as set forth in the Indenture.

(c)      Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . In order for a Person (the “ Indemnified Party ”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “ Claim ”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (“ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court filings and related papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Claim.
If a Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses and acknowledges its obligation in writing to indemnify the Indemnified Party therefor, to assume at its cost the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and to settle such suit, action, claim or proceeding in its discretion with a full release of the Indemnified Party and no admission of liability. Notwithstanding any acknowledgment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation to the amount of Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to its indemnification obligations. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless the Indemnifying Party has materially failed to defend, contest or otherwise protest in a timely manner against Claims. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, the Indemnified Party shall be free to admit liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent to the extent that the Indemnifying Party fails to acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify hereunder with respect to such Claim within 20 business days following the Indemnified Party’s delivery to the Indemnifying Party of (i) a written request for such acknowledgement and (ii) a written notice describing the Claim and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnity therefor in reasonable detail.
The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party’s liability to any such Indemnified Party hereunder shall not be extinguished solely because any other Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder.
(d)      Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c) , any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 5(a) or 5(b) was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5(d) . Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5 , no Holder will be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder 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.
(e)      Other . The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6.      Miscellaneous .

Annex A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the Securities covered by this prospectus on behalf of the Selling Securityholders. All costs, expenses and fees connected with the registration of these Securities will be borne by us. Any brokerage commissions and similar expenses connected with selling the Securities will be borne by the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors-in-interest who may acquire Securities through a pledge, gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer from the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale and they may sell Securities on one or more exchanges, including the Nasdaq Global Market, in the over-the-counter market or in privately negotiated transactions at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at fixed prices, at varying prices determined at the time of the sale or at negotiated prices. These transactions include:
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
exchange or over-the-counter distributions in accordance with the rules of the exchange or other market;
block trades in which the broker-dealer attempts to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
a combination of any such method of sale; and
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In connection with distributions of the Notes or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may:
sell the Securities short and redeliver the Securities to close out short positions;
enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of Securities covered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; and
pledge Securities to broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell.
The Selling Securityholders may also sell any Securities under Rule 144 rather than with this prospectus if the sale meets the requirements of that rule.
In effecting sales, the Selling Securityholders may engage broker-dealers or agents, who may in turn arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders and/or from the purchasers of Securities for whom the broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal, or both. The compensation to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. To our knowledge, there is currently no plan, arrangement or understanding between any Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of any Securities by the Selling Securityholders.
The Selling Securityholders, any broker-dealers or agents and any participating broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus may be “underwriters” under the Securities Act with respect to those Securities and will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of that Act. Any profit that the Selling Securityholders realize, and any compensation that any broker-dealer or agent may receive in connection with any sale, including any profit realized on resale of Securities acquired as principal, may constitute underwriting discounts and commissions. If the Selling Securityholders are deemed to be underwriters, the Selling Securityholders may be subject to certain liabilities under statutes including, but not limited to, Section 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.
The securities laws of some states may require the Selling Securityholders to sell the Securities in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. These laws may also require that we register or qualify the Securities for sale in those states unless an exemption from registration and qualification is available and the Selling Securityholders and we comply with that exemption. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of Securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities.
If any Selling Securityholder notifies us that he has entered into any material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the sale of Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, over-the-counter distribution or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file any necessary supplement to this prospectus to disclose:
the number of Securities involved in the arrangement;
the terms of the arrangement, including the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents who purchase Securities, as required;
the proposed selling price to the public;
any discount, commission or other underwriting compensation;
the place and time of delivery for the Securities being sold;
any discount, commission or concession allowed, reallowed or paid to any dealers; and
any other material terms of the distribution of Securities.
In addition, if the Selling Securityholder notifies us that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest of the Selling Securityholder intends to sell more than [__________] Securities, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.
