The adjustment to the Conversion Rate was calculated in accordance with Section 14.04(d), as set forth on Schedule 1.
If the dividend is not paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Company’s board of directors determines not to pay such dividend, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend had not been declared.
