The exact ADS prices and make-whole reference dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
· If the ADS price is between two ADS price amounts in the table or the make-whole reference date is between two dates in the table, the number of additional ADSs will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional ADSs set forth for the higher and lower ADS price amounts and the two make-whole reference dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
· If the ADS price is greater than $375.00 per ADS, subject to adjustment from time to time in the same manner as the ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table above, no additional ADSs will be added to the conversion rate.
· If the ADS price is less than $143.74 per ADS, subject to adjustment from time to time in the same manner as the ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table above, no additional ADSs will be added to the conversion rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate exceed 6.9570 ADSs per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under Description of the Notes Conversion RightsConversion Rate Adjustments.
