The Trustee (and if different, the relevant Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 15 on the date of such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and not validly withdrawn such Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 16.03 or Section 16.06, as applicable. If the Company has designated a Redemption Date, a Holder that complies with the above requirements will be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Tax Redemption Election. (c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in Section 15.02(b). The Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the number of full ADSs to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of such Conversion Obligation. (d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note. (e) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, no service charge will be imposed by the Company and the Company shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or other duties, if any, that may be imposed by any governmental authority with respect to the issuance of ADSs upon the conversion. However, the Company, the Trustee or the Conversion Agent may require the Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any such tax that is due because the Holder requests any ADSs to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing ADSs being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee or the Conversion Agent, as the case may be, receives such sum. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding or deduction required by law or regulations. (f) Except as provided in Section 15.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any ADSs issued upon the conversion of any Note or the Class A Ordinary Shares represented thereby as provided in this Article. (g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, 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 conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee. (h) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any additional cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of the Conversion Obligations as described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, including any Additional Interest, to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date will receive the interest, including Additional Interest, if any, 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 corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest, including Additional Interest, if any, payable on the Notes so converted; provided, however, that no such payment shall be required (1) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next Scheduled Trading Date immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (2) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next Scheduled Trading Date immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any, existing at the time of conversion with respect to such Notes or (4) if the Notes are surrendered for conversion after the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Except as described above, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on converted Notes. (i) The Person in whose name the certificate for any ADSs delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record as of the close of business on the Conversion Date. Upon conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder with respect to such Notes. (j) For each Note surrendered for conversion and converted, any fractional ADSs remaining shall, in each case, be paid in cash. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full ADSs that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. The Company shall not issue fractional ADSs upon conversion of Notes. Instead, the Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional ADSs based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s ADSs on the relevant Conversion Date (or, if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the next following Trading Day), by the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent. The Company shall determine the number of fractional ADSs for which cash shall be delivered by aggregating all Notes a Holder surrenders for conversion, rather than delivering cash in lieu of fractional ADSs for each individual Note of such Holder surrendered for conversion.
