Common use of Extraordinary Dividend Adjustment Clause in Contracts

Extraordinary Dividend Adjustment. If at any time during the period from and including the Trade Date, to and including the latest Expiration Date (or, if any Approval Deficit Shares are owed pursuant to Section 9(j)(ii) below and/or any Deficit Shares are owed pursuant to Section 9(p)(ii) below, in either case, such later date on which Company’s obligations under this Transaction have been satisfied in full), an ex-dividend date for an Extraordinary Dividend occurs or is deemed to occur, then the Calculation Agent will make adjustments to any one or more of the Strike Price, the Number of Warrants, the Warrant Entitlement and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction as it determines appropriate to account for the economic effect on the Transaction of such Extraordinary Dividend. Extraordinary Events applicable to the Transaction: New Shares: Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended (a) by deleting the text in clause (i) thereof in its entirety (including the word “and” following clause (i)) and replacing it with the phrase “publicly quoted, traded or listed (or whose related depositary receipts are publicly quoted, traded or listed) on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors)” and (b) by inserting immediately prior to the period the phrase “and (iii) of an entity or person that is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that (x) also becomes Company under the Transaction or (y) directly or indirectly wholly owns Company and fully and unconditionally guarantees Company’s obligations under the Transaction, in either case, following such Merger Event or Tender Offer”. Consequence of Merger Events: Merger Event: Applicable; provided that if an event occurs that constitutes both a Merger Event under Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions and an Additional Termination Event under Section 9(h)(ii)(B) of this Confirmation, Dealer may elect, in its commercially reasonable judgment, whether the provisions of Section 12.2 of the Equity Definitions or the provisions of Section 9(h)(ii)(B) will apply. Share-for-Share: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment Share-for-Other: Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination) Share-for-Combined: Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that Dealer may elect, in its commercially reasonable judgment, Component Adjustment (Calculation Agent Determination) for all or any portion of the Transaction. Consequence of Tender Offers: Tender Offer: Applicable; provided that if an event occurs that constitutes both a Tender Offer under Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions and Additional Termination Event under Section Section 9(h)(ii)(A) of this Confirmation, Dealer may elect, in its commercially reasonable judgment, whether the provisions of Section 12.3 of the Equity Definitions or the provisions of Section Section 9(h)(ii)(A) will apply. Share-for-Share: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment Share-for-Other: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment Share-for-Combined: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment Consequences of Announcement Events: Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment as set forth in Section 12.3(d) of the Equity Definitions; provided that, in respect of an Announcement Event, (x) references to “Tender Offer” shall be replaced by references to “Announcement Event” and references to “Tender Offer Date” shall be replaced by references to “date of such Announcement Event”, (y) the word “shall” in the second line shall be replaced with “may” and the fifth and sixth lines shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the words “effect on the Warrants of such Announcement Event solely to account for changes in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or the Warrants”, and (z) for the avoidance of doubt, the Calculation Agent may determine whether the relevant Announcement Event has had a material effect on the Transaction (and, if so, shall adjust the terms of the Transaction accordingly, it being understood that Dealer shall not be required to make any such adjustment to the extent that the aggregate economic effect of such Announcement Event and the related adjustment would adversely impact the fair value to Dealer of the Transaction taking into account its commercially reasonable Hedge Positions) on one or more occasions on or after the date of the Announcement Event up to, and including, the Expiration Date, any Early Termination Date, any date of cancellation and/or any other date with respect to which the Announcement Event is cancelled, withdrawn, discontinued or otherwise terminated, as applicable, it being understood that any adjustment in respect of an Announcement Event shall take into account any earlier adjustment relating to the same Announcement Event. An Announcement Event shall be an “Extraordinary Event” for purposes of the Equity Definitions, to which Article 12 of the Equity Definitions is applicable. Announcement Event: (i) The public announcement by any entity of (x) any transaction or event that is reasonably likely to be completed (as determined by the Calculation Agent taking into account the effect of such announcement on the market for the Shares and/or options on the Shares) and, if completed, would constitute a Merger Event or Tender Offer (y) any potential acquisition or disposition by Issuer and/or its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of Issuer as of the date of such announcement (an “Acquisition Transaction”) or (z) the bona fide (as determined by the Calculation Agent taking into account the effect of such announcement on the market for the Shares and/or options on the Shares) intention to enter into a Merger Event, Tender Offer or Acquisition Transaction, (ii) the public announcement by Issuer of an intention to solicit or enter into, or to explore strategic alternatives or other similar undertaking that includes a Merger Event or Tender Offer or an Acquisition Transaction or (iii) any subsequent public announcement by the relevant entity making such previous announcement or Issuer (or a subsidiary thereof) of a change to a transaction or intention that is the subject of an announcement of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence (including, without limitation, a new announcement, whether or not by the same party, relating to such a transaction or intention or the announcement of a withdrawal from, or the abandonment or discontinuation of, such a transaction or intention), as determined by the Calculation Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of an Announcement Event with respect to any transaction or intention shall not preclude the occurrence of a later Announcement Event with respect to such transaction or intention. For purposes of this definition of “Announcement Event,” the remainder of the definition of “Merger Event” in Section 12.1(b) of the Equity Definitions following the definition of “Reverse Merger” therein shall be disregarded. Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment: If, in respect of any Merger Event to which Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment applies, the adjustments to be made in accordance with Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions would result in Company being different from the issuer of the Shares, then with respect to such Merger Event, as a condition precedent to the adjustments contemplated in Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions, Company and the issuer of the Shares shall, prior to the Merger Date, have entered into such documentation containing representations, warranties and agreements relating to securities law and other issues as requested by Dealer that Dealer has determined, in its reasonable discretion, to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to allow Dealer to continue as a party to the Transaction, as adjusted under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions, and to preserve its hedging or hedge unwind activities in connection with the Transaction in a manner compliant with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by Dealer; provided that such policies and procedures have been adopted by Dealer in good faith and are generally applicable in similar situations and applied in a non-discriminatory manner), and if such conditions are not met or if the Calculation Agent determines that no adjustment that it could make under Section 12.2(e)(i) of the Equity Definitions will produce a commercially reasonable result, then the consequences set forth in Section 12.2(e)(ii) of the Equity Definitions shall apply. Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting: Cancellation and Payment (Calculation Agent Determination); provided that, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors), such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange. Additional Disruption Events: Change in Law: Applicable; provided that Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (i) replacing the word “Shares” with the phrase “Hedge Positions” in clause (X) thereof and (ii) inserting the parenthetical “(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, adoption or promulgation of new regulations authorized or mandated by existing statute)” at the end of clause (A) thereof. Failure to Deliver: Not Applicable Insolvency Filing: Applicable Hedging Disruption: Applicable; provided that:
