In the event that a Holder seeks to exercise its Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right and a Registration Statement is required to be effective in connection with the exercise of such right but no such Registration Statement is then effective, the Holder’s exercise of such right shall be void unless and until such a Registration Statement shall be effective, but such Holder shall receive consideration calculated as described in this Section 5.04(a) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; provided that the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date shall not be so postponed beyond the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

Fundamental Change Early Settlement. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, then, following the occurrence of a such Fundamental Change, each Holder of a Unit, subject to the conditions described and other provisions set forth in this Section 5.04, shall have the right (a “Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right”) to settle (a “Fundamental Change Early Settlement”) its Purchase Contract early on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date at the Settlement Rate determined as if the Applicable Market Value equaled the Stock PricePrice of such Fundamental Change, plus an additional number of shares of Common Stock (such additional number, the “Make-Whole Shares”), if any, subject to adjustment under Section 5.11, and receive payment of Cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.07; provided that no Fundamental Change Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) unless, at the time such Fundamental Change Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to covering the issuance of any shares of Common Stock and other securities, if any, to be issued and delivered in connection with such Fundamental Change Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (as determined by the Company in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for the Companyits reasonable judgment) under the Securities Act. If the Company determines in its reasonable judgment that such a Registration Statement is so required, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) have in effect a Registration Statement covering the issuance of the Common Stock and other securities, if any, to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (y) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case in a form that may be used in connection with such Fundamental Change Early Settlement (it being understood that if there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed, the Company will not be required to file such Registration Statement or provide such a Prospectus, and the right to effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement will not be available, until the Company has publicly disclosed such transaction or development, provided that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such disclosure as soon as it is commercially reasonable to do so). In the event that a Holder seeks to exercise its Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right and the Company determines in its reasonable judgment that a Registration Statement is required to be effective in connection with the exercise of such right but no such Registration Statement is then effective, the Holder’s exercise of such right shall be void unless and until such a Registration Statement shall be effective, but such Holder shall receive consideration calculated as described set forth in this Section 5.04(a) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; provided that the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date shall not be so postponed beyond the Purchase Contract Settlement DateDate (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day). If, but for the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date would occur on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement DateDate (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), the Company shall deliver to any Holder on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) the applicable number of Make-Whole Shares in addition to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, determined as if the Applicable Market Value were equal to the Stock Price. If a Holder elects a Fundamental Change Early Settlement of some or all of its Purchase Contracts, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, the aggregate amount of any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon, if any), with respect to such Purchase Contracts to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Settlement Date (except when unless the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date falls after any Record Date and prior to the next succeeding Contract Adjustment Payment Date, in which case (x) such accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments shall be payable to the Person in whose name a the relevant Certificate is registered at the close of business on such Record Date relating to the next succeeding and (y) such accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payment DatePayments shall not be paid as part of the consideration to settle such Fundamental Change Early Settlement), payable in the manner set forth in Section 5.09(e)(i). The Company shall pay such amount as a credit against the amount otherwise payable by such Holder to effect such Fundamental Change Early Settlement. The Company shall provide each Holder and the Purchase Contract Agent with written notice of a Fundamental Change as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change but in any after no later than within five Business Days after the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change, which shall specify:
