The exact share prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

    If the share price is between two share prices in the table above or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table above, the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate will be increased 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 effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

 

    If the share price is greater than $70.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

 

    If the share price is less than $10.48 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the share prices set forth in the column headings of the table above as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 95.4198 common shares of the Issuer, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of notes—Conversion rights—Conversion rate adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
