•

if the stock price is greater than $5.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the table above), the fundamental change early settlement rate will be the Minimum Settlement Rate; or

•

if the stock price is less than $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the table above), the “minimum stock price,” the fundamental change early settlement rate will be determined as if the stock price equaled the minimum stock price, and using straight line interpolation, as described in the first bullet of this paragraph, if the effective date is between two dates in the table.
