The exact stock price and effective date applicable to a fundamental change may not be set forth on the table, in which case:

 

·                  if the stock price is between two stock price amounts on the table or the effective date is between two dates on the table, the amount of make-whole shares will be determined by straight line interpolation between the make-whole share amounts set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

 


 

·                  if the stock price is in excess of $200 per share (subject to adjustment), then the amount of the make-whole shares will be zero; and

·                  if the stock price is less than $20 per share (subject to adjustment) (the “minimum stock price”), then the amount of make-whole shares will be determined as if the stock price equaled the minimum stock price, using straight line interpolation, as described above, if the effective date is between two dates on the table.
