(iii) any modification, amendment to, or waiver of the “No Material Adverse Effect” condition with respect to the Target shall be deemed not materially adverse to the Purchasers in any respect if, after giving effect to such modification, amendment or waiver, such condition remains customary in all material respects for transactions of a similar nature; and

(iv) to the extent that the Required Purchasers do not object in writing (and with reasonable detail as to the grounds for such objection) to any proposed (1) modification or amendment of the One-Step Merger Agreement or (2) waiver of any One-Step Condition, in each case within two business days of written notification to the Purchasers by Existing Broadcom, New Broadcom or Acquisition Sub of such proposed modification, amendment, or waiver, such modification, amendment or waiver shall be deemed not materially adverse to the Purchasers in any respect.

- 23 -

8. Termination.

8.1. Conditions of Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing (a) in part by mutual consent of the Company and any Purchaser to terminate such Purchaser’s participation (such consent not to affect the continued participation of the other Purchasers) or (b) in whole by any party upon the earliest of (i) to the extent a Merger Agreement is entered into and prior to the consummation of the Transactions (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter), the termination of such Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the expiration of the Offer without the execution and delivery of a Merger Agreement (unless either (1) at least 85% of the outstanding common stock of Target is tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer or (2) the board of directors of the Target has approved the Merger under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and has waived the corresponding protections in the Target’s governing documents), (iii) five business days after the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement and as may be extended in accordance with the terms thereof) and (iv) the date that is 18 months after the date hereof; provided that such date may be extended twice by up to three months for each such extension (for a total of 24 months) if the “Competition Laws Condition” in the Offer Documents (or the “Required Antitrust Clearances” condition in the One-Step Merger Agreement) has not been satisfied.

8.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no effect, with no liability on the part of the Company or the Purchasers, or their directors, officers, general or limited partners, agents or stockholders, with respect to this Agreement, except for liability arising from any knowing and intentional breach by such party of any provision of this Agreement; provided that Article 9, Section 10.7 and Section 10.14 of this Agreement shall indefinitely survive any termination of this Agreement.

9. Indemnification of the Purchasers.

9.1. General. The Purchasers, their respective Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, partners, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified by the Company for any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities, fines, judgments, awards, settlements, taxes, costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Indemnified Persons may become subject as a result of, arising in connection with, or relating to any Action by any Person (including, without limitation, any stockholder of the Company regardless of whether such Action is against a Purchasers) if such Action either (x) alleges a breach of any duty, right or other obligation by the Target, the Company, any of their respective subsidiaries and/or any officers or directors of any of the foregoing (other than any Action directly or indirectly arising out of Xxxxxxx Xxx’x status as a director of the Company) in such capacity or (y) involves a claim or cause of action with respect to which the Indemnified Persons would not have any liability unless there were a breach of any duty, right or other obligation by the Target, the Company, any of their respective subsidiaries and/or any officers or directors of any of the foregoing in such capacity, in each case with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by

- 25 -

this Agreement, the Offer and/or the Merger Agreement; provided that the Company will not be liable to indemnify any Indemnified Person for any such Losses to the extent that such Losses (w) have resulted from an Action by the Company against the Purchasers in connection with such Purchasers’ breach of this Agreement, (x) are as a result of an Action brought against the Purchasers by any Person who is a limited partner of, or other investor in, such Purchasers in such Person’s capacity as a limited partner of, or other investor in, such Purchasers, (y) as a result of any Action brought against the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates by any Person providing the Back Leverage or other financing to the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates in connection with the Purchasers’ or their respective Affiliates investment in the Securities). For the avoidance of doubt, this Article 9 shall not affect any exculpation or indemnification by the Company of Xxxxxxx Xxx in his capacity as a director of the Company.

9.2. Claims; Disputes. Each Indemnified Person shall give the Company prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third party Action it has actual knowledge of that might give rise to Losses, which notice shall set forth a description of those elements of such Action of which such Indemnified Person has knowledge; provided, that any delay or failure to give such Indemnification Notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations of the Company hereunder except to the extent the Company is materially prejudiced by such delay or failure.

9.3. Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. The Company shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the applicable Indemnified Person(s) within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable Indemnification Notice, to select counsel to defend and control the defense of any third party claim set forth in such Indemnification Notice; provided that the Company shall not be entitled to so select counsel or control the defense of any claim if (i) such claim seeks primarily non-monetary or injunctive relief against the Indemnified Person or alleges any violation of criminal law, (ii) the Company does not, subsequent to its assumption of such defense in accordance with this Section 9.3, conduct the defense of the such claim actively and diligently, (iii) such claim includes as the named parties both the Company and the applicable Indemnified Person(s) and such Indemnified Persons reasonably determine upon the advice of counsel that representation of all such Indemnified Persons by the same counsel would be prohibited by applicable codes of professional conduct, or (iv) in the event that, based on the reasonable advice of counsel for the applicable Indemnified Person(s), there are one or more material defenses available to the applicable Indemnified Person(s) that are not available to the Company. If the Company does not assume the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this Section 9.3, the applicable Indemnified Person(s) may continue to defend such claim at the sole cost of the Company and the Company may still participate in, but not control, the defense of such third party claim at the Company’s sole cost and expense.

9.4. Settlement. No Indemnified Person shall consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person(s) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company, in the defense of any such claim,

- 26 -

shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting any Indemnified Person or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnified Person(s) of an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person(s) from all liability with respect to such Action. In any such third party claim where the Company has assumed control of the defense thereof, the Company shall keep the applicable Indemnified Person(s) informed as to the status of such claim at all stages thereof (including all settlement negotiations and offers), promptly submit to such Indemnified Person(s) copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and paper received or filed in connection therewith, permit such Indemnified Person(s) and their respective counsels to confer with the Company and its counsel with respect to the conduct of the defense thereof, and permit such Indemnified Person(s) and their respective counsel(s) a reasonable opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

10.1. Public Statements or Releases. No party to this Agreement shall make any public announcement with respect to the existence or terms of this Agreement or the transactions provided for herein without the prior approval of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, other than a statement consistent with public announcements that were previously made by a party hereto in accordance with this Section 10.1.

THE SECURITIES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage; provided that such notations, legends or endorsements are in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

All Affiliate Securities shall be issued in the form of permanent certificated Securities in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A (each, a “Physical Security”) and, if applicable, bearing any legends required by Section 2.17. Physical Securities may be issued in exchange for interests in a Global Security solely pursuant to Section 2.15.

So long as the Securities (excluding Affiliate Securities) (except as permitted under Section 2.06 and Section 2.17)), or portion thereof, are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to Section 2.15, such Securities may be represented by one or more Securities in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (“Global Securities”). The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Securities shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in Section 2.15, beneficial owners of a Global Security shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Security.

Any Global Securities shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect issuances, repurchases, redemptions, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the custodian for the Global Security, at the written direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Securities in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal of, and interest on, any Global Securities (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Redemption Price, if applicable) shall be made to the Depositary in immediately available funds.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. One duly authorized Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

A Security’s validity shall not be affected by the failure of an Officer whose signature is on such Security to hold, at the time the Security is authenticated, the same office at the Company.

A Security shall not be valid until duly authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

Upon a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of up to $5,000,000,000. The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed $5,000,000,000, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph and except for Securities authenticated and delivered in lieu of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities pursuant to Section 2.07.

The Company may not, with or without the consent of Holders of the Securities, increase the aggregate principal amount of Securities by issuing additional Securities in the future.

Upon a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities, including Securities not bearing the Security Private Placement Legend, to be issued to the transferees when sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as set forth in Section 2.16(b) or when not otherwise required under this Indenture to bear the Security Private Placement Legend.

The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent so appointed has the same rights as a Securities Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates.

If a Company Order pursuant to this Section 2.02 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, then any instructions by the Company to the Trustee with respect to endorsement, delivery or redelivery of a Security that is a Global Security shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 14.03 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 2.03 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain, or shall cause to be maintained, (i) an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), (ii) an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (iii) an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint or change one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more

additional conversion agents, subject to providing written notification to the Trustee of any such new registrar, paying agent or conversion agent, and may act in any such capacity on its own behalf. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Securities Agent not a party to this Indenture. Such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Securities Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Securities Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all moneys held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds so paid by it. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all money held by it as Paying Agent; provided that the Company may not act as Paying Agent upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or shall cause to be furnished, to the Trustee before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders appearing in the security register of the Registrar and the Company shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. Subject Section 2.15 and Section 2.16 hereof, where Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements under this Indenture for such transaction are met. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request or upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Order therefor. The Company, the Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security for which a Repurchase Notice has been delivered, and not withdrawn, in accordance with this Indenture, except if the Company has defaulted in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Security or to the extent that a portion of such Security is not subject to such Repurchase Notice.

No service charge shall be made for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.07, Section 2.10, Section 3.01, Section 9.04 or Section 10.02, in each case, not involving any transfer.

If a Holder of a Physical Security wishes at any time to transfer such Physical Security (or portion thereof) to a Person who is not an Affiliate (that is required to take delivery thereof in the form of a Physical Security) or wishes to exchange its Physical Security for a Global Security after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, such Holder shall, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and in such Physical Security and the rules of the Depositary, and so long as the Securities are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, cause the exchange of such Physical Security for a beneficial interest in a Global Security. Upon receipt by the Registrar of (1) such Physical Security, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such Holder directing the Trustee to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary by the same aggregate principal amount as the Physical Security to be exchanged, such instructions to contain the name or names of a member of, or participant in, the Depositary that is designated as the transferee, the account of such member or participant and other appropriate delivery instructions, (3) in the case of a transfer, the assignment form on the back of the Physical Security completed in full, and (4) in the case of a transfer of Restricted Securities or an Affiliate Security, such certifications or other information and/or legal opinions (which shall be required in the case of transfers of any Affiliate Security by any Affiliated Entity pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), as the Company may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act (or in the case of an exchange, the date of the Resale Restriction Termination Date shall be on or prior to the date of such exchange), then the Trustee shall cancel or cause to be canceled such Physical Security and concurrently therewith shall cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, an increase to the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security or issue a new Global Security by the same aggregate principal amount as the Physical Security canceled; provided, that in the case of any transfer of an Affiliate Security to a Person taking delivery thereof as a beneficial interest in a Global Security, any such transfer shall be made only pursuant either (i) in a transaction complying with Rule 144, (ii) pursuant to an effective registration statement, such effectiveness to be certified by the Company to the Trustee, or (iii) to Persons who agree to be bound by the restrictions applicable to such Holders for so long as such transferred securities constitutes “restricted securities.”

Section 2.07 Replacement Securities. If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, at the Holder’s expense, a replacement Security upon surrender to the Trustee of the mutilated Security, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of the loss, destruction or theft of the Security satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security, if required by the Trustee or the Company, indemnity (including in the form of a bond) must be provided by the Holder that is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee or any Securities Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Security is replaced.

In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay the amounts due in respect of such Security as provided hereunder.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company only as provided in Section 2.08.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those converted, those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it, or a court holds, that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

If the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Company) holds as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date, money sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any) or the Redemption Price, as the case may be, with respect to all Securities to be repurchased or paid on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Maturity Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be, in each case, payable as herein provided on such Fundamental Change Repurchase , the Maturity Date or such Redemption Date, then (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of such aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, principal amount, or of such accrued and unpaid interest or Redemption Price), except as otherwise provided herein, on and after such date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue, and such Securities shall be deemed to be paid whether or not such Securities are delivered to the Paying Agent. Thereafter, all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate with respect to such Securities, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, principal amount, as the case may be, plus, if applicable, such accrued and unpaid interest, or the Redemption Price in accordance with this Indenture.

If a Security is converted in accordance with Article 10 then, from and after the time of such conversion on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding, and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Security unless there shall be a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration payable and/or deliverable hereunder upon such conversion (except that any such Security will remain outstanding for the purpose of receiving any interest or other amounts due following such conversion as set forth in this Indenture).

Section 2.09 Securities Held by the Company or an Affiliate. In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or

Affiliates shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be considered to be outstanding for purposes of this Section 2.09 if the pledgee establishes, to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the pledgee’s right so to concur with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not, and is not acting at the direction or on behalf of, the Company, any other obligor on the Securities, an Affiliate of the Company or an Affiliate of any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to whether the pledgee has established the foregoing, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall provide full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Initial Investor Securities shall be deemed to be owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for purposes of this Indenture.

Section 2.10 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order therefor, authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order therefor, shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, each temporary Security shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities, and such temporary Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee shall promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 10. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary procedure for the disposal of cancelled securities, and certification of such disposal shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Company unless the Company shall, by a Company Order, direct that cancelled Securities be returned to it.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. If, and to the extent, the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay in cash the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent not prohibited by applicable statute or case law, interest on such defaulted interest at the rate provided in the Securities. The Company may pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest) to the Persons who are Holders on a

subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix such special record date and payment date. At least fifteen (15) calendar days before the special record date, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid. Upon the due payment in full, interest shall no longer accrue on such defaulted interest pursuant to this Section 2.12.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed on the notice or on the Securities; and provided further that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and the effectiveness of any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, such CUSIP numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 2.14 Deposit of Moneys. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with Section 2.04) money, in funds immediately available on such date, sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be.

If any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or any Redemption Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the payment due on such Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or such Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be postponed until the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest or other amount shall accrue as a result of such postponement.

Section 2.15 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. (a) Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, as the case may be, and (iii) bear the legends such Global Securities are required to bear under Section 2.17.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

(b) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. In addition, one or more Physical Securities shall be transferred to each owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, as identified by the Depositary, in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Securities if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for any Global Security, or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of such notice or cessation or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from the beneficial owner of the relevant Securities to issue Physical Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, if any event described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence occurs, any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Security will be entitled to receive one or more Physical Securities in exchange for its beneficial interest or interests in the Global Securities, and if any event described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence occurs, only the beneficial owner that has made a written request to the Registrar will be entitled to receive one or more Physical Securities in exchange for its beneficial interest or interests in the Global Securities. The Company may also exchange beneficial interests in a Global Security for one or more Physical Securities registered in the name of the owner of beneficial interests if the Company and the owner of such beneficial interests agree to so exchange.

(c) In connection with the transfer of a Global Security in its entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.15(b), such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Company authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.

(d) Any Physical Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.15(b), shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.16, bear the Security Private Placement Legend.

(e) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(f) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on the transfer of any interest in any Securities imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law (including any transfers between or among Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(g) Neither the Trustee nor any Securities Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.16 Special Transfer Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, but except as provided in Section 2.15(b), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(b) Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the Security Private Placement Legend, unless the Company notifies the Trustee otherwise, the Trustee shall deliver Securities that do not bear the Security Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the Security Private Placement Legend, the Trustee shall deliver only Securities that bear the Security Private Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer, exchange or replacement is after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and addressed to the Company to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (iii) such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Holder selling such Securities has delivered to the Registrar a notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Upon any transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in the Securities in connection with which the Security Private Placement Legend will be removed in accordance with this Indenture (including, without limitation, an exchange of a Global Security in whole in accordance with the applicable procedures), the Trustee shall increase the principal amount of the Global Security that does not constitute a Restricted Security by the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and likewise reduce the principal amount of the Global Security that does constitute a Restricted Security.

(c) By its acceptance of any Security or any Common Stock bearing the Security Private Placement Legend or the Common Stock Private Placement Legend, each holder thereof acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such security set forth in this Indenture and in the Security Private Placement Legend or Common Stock Private Placement Legend, as applicable, and agrees that it will transfer such security only as provided in this Indenture and as permitted by applicable law.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 or this Section 2.16. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

(d) Any Securities that are purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Securities no longer being Restricted Securities.

(e) The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, purchase the Securities in the open market or by tender offer at any price or by private agreement without giving prior notice to Holders. The Company may, at its option and to the extent permitted by law, reissue, resell or surrender to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities the Company purchases in this manner, in

the case of a re-issuance or resale, so long as such Securities do not constitute Restricted Securities upon such re-issuance or resale. Securities surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and shall be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 2.11.

Section 2.17 Restrictive Legends.

(a) Each Global Security and Physical Security that constitutes a Restricted Security shall bear the legend (the “Security Private Placement Legend”) as set forth in Exhibit B-1A on the face thereof until the date such Securities no longer constitute Restricted Securities as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith (such date, the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”).

No transfer of any Security prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment has been checked.

Any Security (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Security for exchange to the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Article 2, be exchanged for a new Security or Securities, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.17(a) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. In addition, on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, upon the request of any Holder and upon surrender of its Security for exchange, the Company shall exchange a Physical Security with the foregoing restricted legends for a Physical Security without such restricted legend so long as the Holder covenants to the Company that it will offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Security in compliance with the Securities Act. The Company shall be entitled to instruct the Trustee in writing to cancel any Global Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms for exchange, and, upon such instruction, the Trustee shall provide evidence of cancellation of such Global Security for exchange; and any new Global Security so exchanged therefor shall not bear the restrictive legend specified in this Section 2.17(a) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and promptly after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Securities or any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act.

(b) Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Security, if any, shall, if such shares constitute Restricted Securities at their time of issuance, bear the legend (the “Common Stock Private Placement Legend”) as set forth in Exhibit B-1B unless such Securities have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing.

Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.17(b).

Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Securities at the Close of Business on such Record Date (without any surrender of such Securities by such Holder), and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall not include any accrued but unpaid interest; provided further, that if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date occurs after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the interest payable in respect of such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of record at the Close of Business on the corresponding Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payable to the Holder who presents the Security for redemption shall be 100% of the principal amount of such Security.

If such Securities are held in book-entry form through the Depositary, the delivery of any Securities, Repurchase Notice, Fundamental Change Notice or notice of withdrawal pursuant to the second immediately succeeding paragraph shall comply with applicable procedures of the Depositary.

Upon such delivery of Securities to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or such Paying Agent, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon request, from the Company or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, a nontransferable receipt of deposit evidencing such delivery.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder that has delivered the Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.01(a) to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Fundamental Change Notice shall have the right to withdraw such Repurchase Notice by delivery, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, if there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase, at any time during which such Default is continuing), of a written notice of withdrawal to the Company (if acting as its own Paying Agent) or the Paying Agent, which notice shall be delivered in accordance with, and contain the information specified in, Section 3.01(b)(x).

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(b) Within 10 days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, to all Holders of the Securities at their addresses shown in the register of the Registrar, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law, a notice (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right arising as a result thereof. The Company shall deliver a copy of the Fundamental Change Notice to the Trustee at the time such notices are delivered to the Holders. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Notice, the Company shall publish a press release or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at such time. Each Fundamental Change Notice shall state:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(iv) the last date on which the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right may be exercised, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(vi) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(vii) the procedures that a Holder must follow to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right;

(viii) that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Security as to which a Repurchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn will be paid no later than the later of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of the Security (together with all necessary endorsements);

(ix) that, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, on and after such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), interest on Securities subject to Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change will cease to accrue, and all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive, in accordance herewith, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(x) that a Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election in the Repurchase Notice prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or such longer period as may be required by law, by means of a letter or telegram, telex or facsimile transmission (receipt of which is confirmed and promptly followed by a letter) setting forth the name of such Holder, a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have Securities purchased by the Company on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, the certificate number(s) of such Securities to be so withdrawn, if such Securities are Physical Securities, the principal amount of the Securities of such Holder to be so withdrawn, which amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof and the principal amount, if any, of the Securities of such Holder that remain subject to the Repurchase Notice delivered by such Holder in accordance with this Section 3.01, which amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; provided, however, that if there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, a Holder shall be entitled to withdraw its election in the Repurchase Notice at any time during which such Default is continuing;

(xi) the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that will result from such Fundamental Change;

(xii) that Securities with respect to which a Repurchase Notice is given by a Holder may be converted pursuant to Article 10 only if such Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.01 or the Company defaults in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; and

(xiii) the CUSIP number or numbers, as the case may be, of the Securities.

At the Company’s request, upon prior notice reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail such Fundamental Change Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the form and content of such Fundamental Change Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

No failure of the Company to give a Fundamental Change Notice shall limit any Holder’s right pursuant hereto to exercise a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.01, the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to each Security as to which the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right shall have been exercised to the Holder thereof no later than the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of book-entry transfer or when such Security is surrendered to the Paying Agent together with any necessary endorsements; provided, however, that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Security at the Close of Business on such Record Date and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall not include any accrued and unpaid interest.

(d) The Company shall, in accordance with Section 2.14, deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with Section 2.04) money, in funds immediately available on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change for all of the Securities that are to be repurchased by the Company on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, as soon as practicable, any money not required for that purpose.

(e) Once the Fundamental Change Notice and the Repurchase Notice have been duly given in accordance with this Section 3.01, the Securities to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change shall, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, become due and payable in accordance herewith, and, on and after such date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), except as otherwise provided herein with respect to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, such Securities shall cease to bear interest (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Securities has been made or the Securities have been delivered to the Paying Agent), and all rights of the relevant Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive, in accordance herewith, such consideration and any other applicable rights under those sections set forth in the proviso in Section 8.01.

(f) Securities with respect to which a Repurchase Notice has been duly delivered in accordance with this Section 3.01 may be converted pursuant to Article 10 only if such Securities are not subject to a Repurchase Notice, such Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.01 or the Company defaults in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(g) If any Security shall not be paid upon book-entry transfer or surrender thereof for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Security shall, until paid, bear interest, payable in cash, at the rate borne by such Security on the principal amount of such Security, and such Security shall be convertible pursuant to Article 10 if any Repurchase Notice with respect to such Security is withdrawn pursuant to this Section 3.01.

(h) Any Security that is to be submitted for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change only in part shall be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, with a medallion guarantee), and the Company shall promptly execute, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, of the same tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Security not duly submitted for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default relating to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, there shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to this Section 3.01 on any date if, on such date, the principal amount of the Securities shall have been accelerated in accordance with this Indenture and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded on or prior to such date in accordance with this Indenture. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities held by it during the continuance of such an acceleration.

(j) In connection with any Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, the Company shall, to the extent applicable (i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act, and with all other applicable laws; (ii) file a Schedule TO or any other schedules required under the Exchange Act or any other applicable laws; and (iii) otherwise comply with all applicable United States federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to purchase the Securities; provided that any time period specified in this Article 3 shall be extended to the extent necessary for such compliance.

SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01 When Company May Merge, Etc.The Company shall not consolidate with, or merge with or into, or sell, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the consolidated property or assets of the Company to another Person (other than one or more Subsidiaries of the Company), whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, unless (i) the Company is the continuing corporation or such other Person is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, and such other corporation assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall exist.

For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to another Person other than the Company or one or more other Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties or assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated properties or assets of the Company to another Person.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officers’ Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel (which may rely upon such Officers’ Certificate as to the absence of Defaults and Events of Default) stating that the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture will, upon consummation of the proposed transaction, comply with this Indenture.

Section 5.02 Successor Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger or any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated property or assets of the Company and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Securities, the due and punctual payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to all Securities repurchased on each Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the due and punctual payment of the Redemption Price with respect to all Securities redeemed on any Redemption Date, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Securities and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture and the Securities to be performed by the Company, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated

and delivered, any Securities that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger or any sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 5 the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 5 may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Securities and its obligations under this Indenture shall terminate.

In case of any such consolidation, merger or any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(a) the Company fails to pay the principal of any Security when due, whether on the Maturity Date, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to a Fundamental Change, on a Redemption Date, upon acceleration or otherwise;

(b) the Company fails to pay an installment of interest on any Security when due, if the failure continues for thirty (30) days after the date when due;

(c) the Company fails to satisfy its conversion obligations upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion rights pursuant hereto and such failure continues for a period of three (3) Business Days;

(d) the Company fails to comply with its obligations under Article 3 and Article 5;

(e) the Company fails to comply with any other term, covenant or agreement set forth in the Securities or this Indenture and such failure continues for the period, and after the notice, specified in the last paragraph of this Section 6.01;

(f) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to, or within the meaning of, any Bankruptcy Law, insolvency law, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise, either:

(i) commences a voluntary case,

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of its Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding, or adjudicates the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of its Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company insolvent or bankrupt,

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of its Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company for all or substantially all of the consolidated property of the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, or

(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of its Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company,

and, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.01(g), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least sixty (60) consecutive days.

A Default under clause (e) above shall not be an Event of Default until (A) the Trustee notifies the Company in writing, or the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee in writing, of the Default and (B) the Default is not cured within sixty (60) days in the case of clause (e) after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” If the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities request the Trustee to give such notice on their behalf, the Trustee shall do so. When a Default is cured, it ceases to exist for all purposes under this Indenture.

Section 6.02 Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (excluding an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or Section 6.01(g) with respect to the Company, but including an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or Section 6.01(g) solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of its Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) has occurred and is continuing, either the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Securities to be immediately due and payable in full. Upon such declaration, the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities

shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or Section 6.01(g) with respect to the Company (excluding, for purposes of this sentence, an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or Section 6.01(g) solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of its Subsidiaries that in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Required Holders by written notice to the Trustee may rescind or annul an acceleration and its consequences if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any order or decree, (ii) all existing Events of Default, except the nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived and (iii) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06 have been paid.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first 360 days immediately following an Event of Default relating to failure to comply with Section 4.03(a) and Section 4.03(b) or for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA (at any time such section is applicable to this Indenture, if any) (which will be the 61st day after written notice is provided to the Company of the Default pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6.01, unless such failure is cured or waived prior to such 61st day), the sole remedy for any such Event of Default shall, at the Company’s election, be the accrual of Additional Interest on the Securities at a rate per year equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of Securities, payable in the same manner and at the same time as the stated interest payable on the Securities. Such Additional Interest shall accrue on all outstanding Securities from, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurs to, and including, the 360th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On and after the 361st day immediately following an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with Section 4.03(a), if the Company elected to pay Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 6.02(b) such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived prior to such 361st day, the Securities may be accelerated by the Holders or the Trustee as provided above.

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the obligations under Section 4.03(a) and Section 4.03(b) or for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA (at any time such section is applicable to this Indenture, if any), the Company shall notify all Holders and the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election in writing prior to the Close of Business on the date on which such Event of Default occurs. If the Company fails to give timely notice of such election, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02(a).

In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest upon such Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.02(b), the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02(a). This Section 6.02(b) does not affect the rights of Holders if any other Event of Default occurs under this Indenture.

Additional Interest shall be payable at the same time, in the same manner and to the same Persons as ordinary interest.

(c) If the Company is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders, the Company shall provide a direction or order in the form of a written notice to the Trustee (and if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, to the Paying Agent) of the Company’s obligation to pay such Additional Interest no later than three Business Days prior to the date on which any such Additional Interest is scheduled to be paid. Such notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date and direct the Trustee (or, if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, to the Paying Agent) to make payment to the extent it receives funds from the Company to do so. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether the Additional Interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculation of the amount of the Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of amounts due with respect to the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.07 and Section 9.02, the Required Holders may, by written notice to the Trustee, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, other than a Default or Event of Default (a) in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Security, in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or in the payment of any Redemption Price (b) arising from a failure by the Company to convert any Securities in accordance with this Indenture or (c) in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities which, under Section 9.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected, if:

(i) all existing Default or Event of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest on the Securities that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and

(ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

When a Default or an Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases to exist for all purposes under this Indenture, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any rights of Holders or the Trustee related thereto.

Section 6.05 Control by Holders. The Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. Except with respect to any proceeding instituted in accordance with Section 6.07, a Holder shall not have any right to institute any proceeding under this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture unless:

(a) the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) the Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to or of the Trustee in connection with pursuing such remedy; and

Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Trustee shall provide the Company with reasonable notice of any expense not in the ordinary course of business.

The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and taxes other than those based upon the income of the Trustee) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 7.06, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers and duties hereunder.

The indemnity obligations of the Company with respect to the Trustee provided for in this Section 7.06 shall survive any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any termination of this Indenture.

The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06.

(h) to comply with the requirement of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture and any supplemental indenture under the TIA.

In addition, the Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture without the consent of Holders of the Securities to cure any ambiguity, defect, omission or inconsistency in this Indenture in a manner that does not, individually or in the aggregate with all other changes, materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. The Company may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Required Holders (including, without limitation, consents obtained from Holders in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, Securities). Subject to Section 6.04 and 6.07, the Required Holders may, by written notice to the Trustee, waive by consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained from Holders in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, Securities) compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

(a) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or the payment date of any installment of interest on, any Security;

(b) reduce the principal amount of, or any interest (other than Additional Interest) on, any Security;

(d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any delivery or payment on, or with respect to, or due upon the conversion of, any Security;

(e) modify, in a manner adverse to Holders, the provisions with respect to the right of Holders pursuant to this Indenture to require the Company to repurchase Securities upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change;

(f) adversely affect the right of Holders to convert Securities in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(g) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities whose Holders must consent to a modification to or amendment of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities; or

(h) modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to modification and waiver (including waiver of a Default or an Event of Default), except to increase the percentage required for modification or waiver or to provide for the consent of each affected Holder.

Promptly after an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.01 or this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities, it shall bind every Holder unless such amendment, supplement or waiver makes a change that requires, pursuant to Section 9.02, the consent of each Holder affected. In that case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and, provided that notice of such amendment, supplement or waiver is reflected on a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. Any amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture to the Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect, if the TIA is at such time applicable to this Indenture.

Nothing in this Section 9.03 shall impair the Company’s rights pursuant to Section 9.01 to amend this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any Holder in the manner set forth in, and permitted by, such Section 9.01.

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security as directed and prepared by the Company about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.

Section 9.05 Trustee Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9; provided, however, that the Trustee need not sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 that adversely affects the Trustee’s rights, duties, liabilities or immunities. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel as to legal matters and an Officers’ Certificate as to factual matters that any supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver is permitted or authorized pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 9.06 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the due execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture in accordance with this Article 9, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes, and, except as set forth in Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, every Holder of Securities shall be bound thereby.

(a) Subject to the limitations of Section 10.01(b), Section 10.02, Section 10.11 and the settlement provisions of Section 10.14(c), and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 10, each Holder of a Security shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or a multiple thereof) of such Security, (x) prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding [three months prior to the Maturity Date] only upon satisfaction of one or more of the conditions described in this Section 10.01(a), and (y) on or after [three months prior to the Maturity Date], at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at the then applicable Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Securities (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 10.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).

(i) A Holder may surrender Securities for conversion during any fiscal quarter commencing after [first full fiscal quarter ended after issuance date] (and only during such fiscal quarter) if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Conversion Price in effect on each Trading Day.

(ii) A Holder may surrender Securities for conversion during the five consecutive Business Day period after any 10 consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10.01(a)(ii), for each Trading Day of such Measurement Period, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities was less than 97% of the product of (x) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (y) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. The Trading Price shall be determined by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.01(a)(ii) and the definition of “Trading Price” set forth in Section 1.01 hereof.

The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to solicit the applicable market bid quotations of the Securities unless the Company has requested that it do so in writing; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, to determine the Trading Price of the Securities) unless one or more Holders holding, in the aggregate, at least $2.0 million principal amount of Securities provides it with reasonable written evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 97% of the product of (x) the Conversion Rate in effect on the next Trading Day and (y) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day and requests that the Company require the Bid Solicitation Agent (if not the Company) to begin soliciting market bid quotations for the Securities (or, if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, requests that the Company begin determining the Trading Price of the Securities). At such time, (1) the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to solicit market bid quotations for the Securities (or, if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities) beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Company instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent in writing to cease

soliciting market bid quotations for the Securities and (2) the Company shall determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities based upon the market bid quotations received from the Bid Solicitation Agent (if not the Company) beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities for a Trading Day is greater than or equal to 97% of the product of (x) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (y) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. Whenever the condition to conversion set forth in this Section 10.01(a)(ii) has been met, but was not met on the immediately preceding Trading Day, the Company will so notify the Holders and the Trustee. If, at any time after the condition to conversion set forth in this Section 10.01(a)(ii) has been met, the condition to conversion set forth in this Section 10.01(a)(ii) ceases to be met, the Company will so notify the Holders and the Trustee on the first Trading Day on which such condition ceases to be met. Each of the Trustee, Bid Solicitation Agent, Conversion Agent, Paying Agent and Registrar (in each case, if not the Company) shall have no responsibility to determine the Trading Price of the Securities or whether the condition to conversion set forth in this Section 10.01(a)(ii) has been met.

(iii) If the Company elects to (x) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, so long as such rights have not separated from the Common Stock and are not exercisable until the occurrence of a triggering event, except that such rights will be deemed to be issued under this clause (x) upon their separation from the Common Stock or upon the occurrence of such triggering event) entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or (y) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company’s securities (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, so long as such rights have not separated from the Common Stock and are not exercisable until the occurrence of a triggering event, except that such rights will be deemed to be distributed under this clause (y) upon their separation from the Common Stock or upon the occurrence of such triggering event), which distribution has a per-share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 15% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, then, the Company must deliver notice of such issuance or distribution, and of the Ex Date for such issuance or distribution, to the Holders and the Trustee at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex Date for such issuance or distribution (or, if later in the case of any such separation of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan or the occurrence of any such triggering event under a stockholder rights plan, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes aware that such separation or triggering event has occurred or will occur). Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time during the period beginning on the 30th Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex Date for such issuance or distribution and ending on the earlier of (a) the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such issuance or distribution or (b) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, even if the Securities are not otherwise convertible at such time.

(iv) If (i) a Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or (ii) the Company is a party to (x) a consolidation, merger, amalgamation or binding share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets or (y) a sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, to another Person (other than any of the Company’s wholly-owned Subsidiaries), the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the effective date of such transaction or event until the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or, if there is no Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the effective date for the transaction. The Company will notify the Holders of any such transaction or event no later than the effective date of such transaction or event.

(v) If the Company calls a Holder’s Securities for Optional Redemption pursuant to Article 13, such Holder shall have the right to convert such Holder’s Securities at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date (or, if the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price in respect of such Optional Redemption, such date on which such default is no longer continuing), after which time such right to convert will expire.

(b) A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of a Security in accordance with Section 10.01(a) if such portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of such Security.

Section 10.02 Conversion Procedure and Payment Upon Conversion.

(a) Subject to this Section 10.02 and Section 10.11 and the settlement provisions of Section 10.14(c), upon conversion of any Security pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 10.03 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 10.03 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 10.02.

(i) All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after [three months prior to the Maturity Date] shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.

(ii) All conversions of Securities occurring on or after the date of the Notice of Optional Redemption and prior to the related Redemption Date shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.

(iii) Except for any conversions described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Trading Days.

(iv) If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or for all conversions described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), as the case may be), the Company elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company, through the Trustee, shall deliver such Settlement Notice to converting Holders no later than the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions occurring on or after (x) [three months prior to the Maturity Date], no later than [three months prior to the Maturity Date]) or (y) the date of the Notice of Optional Redemption and prior to the related Redemption Date, in such Notice of Optional Redemption. If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Securities shall be equal to $1,000 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely make such election will not constitute a Default or Event of Default). Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. If the Company delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Securities in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Securities shall be deemed to be $1,000.

(v) The cash, Common Stock or combination of cash and Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Securities (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

(A) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (provided that the Company shall deliver cash in lieu of any fractional shares as described in Section 10.03);

(B) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(C) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.

The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

To convert its Security that is convertible pursuant to Section 10.01(a), a Holder of a Physical Security must (i) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice, with appropriate signature guarantee, or facsimile of the Conversion Notice and deliver the completed Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent, (ii) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (iii) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent, (iv) pay all transfer or similar taxes if required pursuant to Section 10.04 and (v) pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date required by Section 10.02(c). If a Holder holds a beneficial interest in a Global Security, to convert such Security that is convertible pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Holder must comply with clauses (iv) and (v) above and the Depositary’s procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Security.

(b) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any Securities surrendered for conversion at the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement), and the Person in whose name the Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement). Prior to such time, a Holder receiving Common Stock upon conversion shall not be entitled to any rights relating to such Common Stock, including, among other things, the right to vote and receive dividends and notices of shareholder meetings. On and after the Close of Business on the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement), in each case, with respect to a conversion of a Security pursuant hereto, all rights of the Holder of such Security shall terminate, other than the right to receive the consideration deliverable or payable upon conversion of such Security as provided herein and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on such Security as provided herein.

(c) Except as provided in the Securities or in this Article 10, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Security, and accrued interest, if any, will be deemed to be paid by the consideration paid to the Holder upon conversion. Such accrued interest, if any, shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. The Company’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of Securities into a combination of cash and Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion. If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion after the Close of Business on the Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest but prior to the Open of Business on the next Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the full amount of interest payable with respect to such Security on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Security at the Close of Business on such Record Date; provided, however, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment in cash to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal to the full amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the Security so converted; provided further, however, that such payment to the Conversion Agent described in the immediately preceding proviso in respect of a Security surrendered for conversion shall not be required with respect to a Security that (i) is surrendered for conversion after the Close of Business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, (ii) is surrendered for conversion after the Close of Business on a Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or prior to the Open of Business on the related Interest Payment Date, where, pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company has specified, with respect to a Fundamental Change, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Record Date but on or prior to such Interest Payment Date or (iii) that is surrendered in connection with Optional Redemption and the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date and the conversion occurs after such Record Date and on or prior to the Open of Business on such Interest Payment Date; provided further that, if the Company shall have, prior to the Conversion Date with respect to a Security, defaulted in a payment of interest on such Security, then in no event shall the Holder of such Security who surrenders such Security for conversion be required to pay such defaulted interest or the interest that shall have accrued on such defaulted interest pursuant to Section 2.12 or otherwise (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.02(c) shall affect the Company’s obligations under Section 2.12).

(d) If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Securities shall be based on the total principal amount of all Securities so converted.

(e) The Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the later of (i) the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date and (ii) the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, as applicable. If any shares of Common

Stock are due to converting Holders, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.

(f) Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

(g) If the last day on which a Security may be converted is not a Business Day, the Security may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

Section 10.03 Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of a Security. Instead, the Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement) or the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby (in the case of Physical Settlement) so surrendered, and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

Section 10.04 Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder converts its Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue, if any, of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, such Holder shall pay any such tax or duty that is due because such shares are issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver a certificate representing the Common Stock to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duty which will be due because such shares are to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name.

Section 10.05 Company to Provide Common Stock. The Company shall at all times keep available, free from any other pre-emptive rights or similar rights, out of its share issue mandate, or Common Stock held in its treasury, enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the Securities (assuming, for such purposes, that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Securities would be converted by a single Holder). Any Common Stock due upon conversion of a Global Security shall be delivered by the Company in accordance with the Depositary’s customary practices.

All Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim that arises from the action or inaction of the Company.

The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list such shares on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed on the applicable Conversion Date.

Section 10.06 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) If the Company issues Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;

CR’ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and

OS’ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or such share split or share combination, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this Section 10.06(a) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period expiring not more than sixty (60) days immediately following the date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution;

CR’ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex Date;

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex Date;

X =

the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y =

the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution.

Any increase made under this Section 10.06(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex Date for such distribution had not occurred.

In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such

Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. Except in the case of a readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Conversion Rate shall not be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.06(b).

(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other of its assets, securities or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, but excluding (i) dividends or distributions as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 10.06(a) or Section 10.06(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 10.06(d), and (iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth in the latter portion of this Section 10.06(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness or other assets, securities or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution;

CR’ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution;

SP₀ =

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and

FMV =

the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property distributable with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution.

If the Board of Directors determines “FMV” for purposes of this Section 10.06(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, provision shall be made for each Holder of a Security to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities it holds, at the

same time and upon the same terms as the holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 10.06(c) above shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period;

CR’ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period;

FMV₀ =

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for a Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP₀ =

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period, the reference within the portion of this Section 10.06(c) related to Spin-Offs to ten (10) consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex Date for such Spin-Off and the relevant Conversion Date, except that if such Conversion Date occurs on or after the Ex Date for the Spin-Off and on or prior to the record date for the Spin-Off and the converting Holder would be treated as the record holder of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date (if the

Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Combination Settlement), as the case may be, based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex Date, then, notwithstanding the foregoing Conversion Rate adjustment provisions, the Conversion Rate adjustment for such Ex Date will not be made for such converting Holder and such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the Common Stock on an un-adjusted basis and participate in the Spin-Off.

Subject in all respects to Section 10.13, rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.06(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.06(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 10.06(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.06(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 10.06(a), Section 10.06(b) and this Section 10.06(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.06(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of Common Stock to which Section 10.06(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 10.06(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.06(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 10.06(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.06(a) and Section 10.06(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Board of Directors, the Ex Date of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex Date of the Clause C Distribution and any Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be” within the meaning of Section 10.06(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 10.06(b).

Except in the case of a readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to the last sentence of either the fourth or seventh paragraph of this Section 10.06(c), the Conversion Rate shall not be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.06(c).

(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed $1.75 per share, which is referred to as the “dividend threshold,” and which is subject to adjustment as described below), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ x SP₀ – T

SP₀ – C

where,

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR’ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP₀ =

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution;

T =

the dividend threshold; provided, that if the dividend or distribution is not a regular cash dividend, then the dividend threshold will be deemed to be zero; and

C =

the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock.

The dividend threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to, and at the same time as, adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided, that no adjustment will be made to the dividend threshold for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this clause (d). Such increase shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, provision shall be made for each Holder of a Security to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount of cash such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex Date for such cash dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Except in the case of a readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Conversion Rate shall not be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.06(d).

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR’ =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC =

the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer);

OS’ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and

SP’ =

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.06(c) shall occur at the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Date next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately following, but excluding, the date that any such tender or exchange offer expires, references in this Section 10.06(e) to ten (10) consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the relevant Conversion Date. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase the Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased to the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

(f) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and any applicable securities exchange rules, the Company may, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days or any longer period as may be permitted or required by law, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company. Such Conversion Rate increase shall be irrevocable during such period. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such increase to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s address as the same appears on the registry books of the Registrar, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such increase commences.

(g) All calculations under this Article 10 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th.

(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company will not initiate any transaction set forth in this Section 10.06 unless such transaction is in compliance with applicable law and the applicable rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed.

(i) Notwithstanding this Section 10.06 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex Date, and a Holder that has converted its Securities on or after such Ex Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of the Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 10.02(b) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 10.06, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex Date shall not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(j) Notwithstanding this Section 10.06 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, if a Holder converts a Security, Combination Settlement is applicable to such Security and the Daily Settlement Amount for any Trading Day during the Observation Period applicable to such Security (x) is calculated based on a Conversion Rate adjusted on account of any event described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 10.06 and (y) includes any shares of Common Stock that entitle their holder to participate in such event, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 10.06, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such event will not be made for such converting Holder for such Trading Day. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(k) For purposes of this Section 10.06, “effective date” means the first date on which the Common Stock trades on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, reflecting the relevant share split or share combination, as applicable.

Section 10.07 No Adjustment. The Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for any transaction or event other than for any transaction or event described in this Article 10. Without limiting the foregoing, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities;

(ii) upon the issuance of any Common Stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options or any other options or rights (including stock appreciation rights) to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) above and outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued;

(iv) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

(v) upon the repurchase of any Common Stock pursuant to an open-market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described in Section 10.06(e); or

(vi) for the sale or issuance of new shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock for cash, including at a price per share less than the fair market value thereof or the Conversion Price or otherwise, except as described in Section 10.06.

No adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.06(a) through Section 10.06(e) shall be required until cumulative adjustments amount to one percent (1%) or more of the Conversion Rate as last adjusted (or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Rate); provided, however, that any adjustments to the Conversion Rate which by reason of this paragraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account (i) in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate, (ii) on the occurrence of any Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (iii) upon Optional Redemption and (iv) on each Trading Day of any Observation Period; provided further that if the Securities have been converted pursuant to Section 10.01, then, in each case, any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that have been, and at such time remain, deferred pursuant to this Section 10.07 shall be given effect, and such adjustments, if any, shall no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate.

No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made pursuant to Section 10.06 for a transaction (other than for share splits or share combinations pursuant to Section 10.06(a)) if the Company makes provision for each Holder to participate in the transaction, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock participate in such transaction, without conversion, as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex Date or effective date, as applicable, of the transaction (without giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 10.06 on account of such transaction), multiplied by principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holder.

Section 10.08 Other Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the computation of an average of the Closing Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a period of multiple Trading Days (including an Observation Period and the period for determining the Applicable Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Board of Directors, in its good faith determination, shall appropriately adjust such average to account for any event requiring, pursuant hereto, an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the effective date, Ex Date or expiration date of such event occurs at any time on or after the first Trading Day of such period and on or prior to the last Trading Day of such period.

Section 10.09 Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Except as prohibited by law the Company may (but is not obligated to) increase the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 10.06 hereof, as it determines to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock made by the Company or to its shareholders will not be taxable to the recipients thereof or in order to avoid or diminish any such taxation.

Section 10.10 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.

Section 10.11 Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, Binding Share Exchanges or Sales on Conversion Privilege. If the Company:

(a) reclassifies the Common Stock (other than a change as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 10.06(a) applies);

(b) is party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange; or

(c) sells, transfers, leases, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the consolidated property or assets of the Company,

in each case, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property (any such event, a “Merger Event”), each $1,000 principal amount of converted Securities will, from and after the effective time of such Merger Event, be convertible into the same kind, type and proportions of consideration that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such Merger Event would have received in such Merger Event (“Reference Property”) and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 9.01(a) providing for such change in the right to convert the Securities; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (A) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Section 10.02 and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with Section 10.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with Section 10.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Merger Event and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Securities will be

convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. If the holders receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Merger Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased pursuant to Section 10.14), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

The supplemental indenture referred to in the first sentence of this Section 10.11 shall provide for adjustments to the Conversion Rate that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article 10 and for the delivery of cash by the Company in lieu of fractional securities or property that would otherwise be deliverable to holders upon Conversion as part of the Reference Property, with such amount of cash determined by the Board of Directors in a manner as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to that used by the Company to determine the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock. The provisions of this Section 10.11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.

The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 10.11.

None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to convert its Securities into Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share) as set forth in Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.

In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 10.11, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of Reference Property receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such Merger Event and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.

Section 10.12 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall have no duty to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require that any adjustment under this Article 10 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any other Conversion Agent makes any representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and neither the Trustee nor any other Conversion Agent shall be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article 10.

The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 10.10, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof.

Section 10.13 Rights Distributions Pursuant to Shareholders’ Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company adopts a rights plan (i.e., a poison pill) and such plan is in effect upon conversion of any Security or a portion thereof, the Company shall make provision such that each Holder thereof shall receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Common Stock due upon conversion, the rights described in such plan, unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock before the time of conversion, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock, Distributed Property as described in Section 10.06(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Section 10.14 Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Securities Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Conversion Rate applicable to each Security that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with this Article 10, at any time during the period (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”) from, and including, the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (which Effective Date the Company shall disclose in the written notice referred to in Section 10.14(e)) (A) to, and including, the Close of Business on the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after the later of (i) such Effective Date and (ii) the date the Company mails to Holders the relevant notice of the Effective Date or (B) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change also constitutes a Fundamental Change, to, and including, the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Fundamental Change, shall be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 10.14, otherwise apply to such Security pursuant to this Article 10, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase.

(b) As used herein, “Make-Whole Applicable Increase” shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the amount, set forth in the following table, which corresponds to the Effective Date and the Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:


	Applicable Price

provided, however, that:

(i) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two (2) Applicable Prices listed in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price,” or if the actual Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two Effective Dates listed in the table above in the row immediately below the title “Effective Date,” then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by linear interpolation between the Make-Whole Applicable Increases set forth for such higher and lower Applicable Prices, or for such earlier and later Effective Dates based on a three hundred and sixty five (365) day year, as applicable;

(ii) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater than $400.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Applicable Prices pursuant to Section 10.14(b)(iii)), or if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is less than $235.31 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Applicable Prices pursuant to Section 10.14(b)(iii)), then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase shall be equal to zero (0);

(iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article 10 (other than solely pursuant to this Section 10.14), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, each Applicable Price set forth in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price” shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such Applicable Price, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (A) such Applicable Price as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Applicable Price and (B) a fraction the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article 10, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate;

(iv) each Make-Whole Applicable Increase amount set forth in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner, for the same events and at the same time as the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 10.06 through Section 10.13; and

(v) in no event shall the Conversion Rate applicable to any Security be increased pursuant to this Section 10.14 to the extent, but only to the extent, such increase shall cause the Conversion Rate applicable to such Security to exceed 4.2463 shares per $1,000 principal amount (the “Maximum Conversion Rate”); provided, however, that the Maximum Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to this Article 10.

(c) Subject to Section 10.11, upon surrender of Securities for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 10.02; provided, however, that if at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (c) of the definition of Change in Control the consideration for the Common Stock is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Securities following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Applicable Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount equal to, per $1,000 principal amount of converted Securities, the Conversion Rate (including any Make-Whole Applicable Increase), multiplied by such Applicable Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation will be determined and shall be paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date.

(d) As used herein, “Applicable Price” shall have the following meaning with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change: (i) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is a transaction or series of transaction described in clause (c) of the definition of Change in Control and the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights) for Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change consists solely of cash, then the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (ii) in all other circumstances, the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which average shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment, pursuant hereto, to the Conversion Rate that shall become effective, or any event requiring, pursuant hereto, an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex Date of such event occurs, at any time during such five (5) consecutive Trading Days.

(e) The Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 10.01(a)(iv). Each such notice shall also state that, in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall increase, in accordance herewith, the Conversion Rate applicable to Securities

entitled as provided herein to such increase (along with a description of how such increase shall be calculated and the time periods during which Securities must be surrendered in order to be entitled to such increase, including, without limitation, the last day of the Make-Whole Conversion Period).

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 10.14 shall not affect or diminish the Company’s obligations, if any, pursuant to Article 3 with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that also constitutes a Fundamental Change.

(g) Nothing in this Section 10.14 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.06 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

ARTICLE 11

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 11.01 Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (i) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, (ii) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 or (iii) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Securities, the Company or the Trustee may fix, but shall not be required to, in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 11.02 Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 12.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Securities shall be proved by the security register of the Registrar or by a certificate of the Registrar. The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 12.06.

Section 11.03 Persons Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Security shall be registered upon the security register of the Registrar to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.12 and Section 4.01) accrued and unpaid interest on such Security, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, and the Redemption Price, if applicable, for conversion of such Security and for all other purposes; and

neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any authenticating agent nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Securities following an Event of Default, any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such Holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Physical Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 12

HOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Section 12.01 Purpose of Meetings. A meeting of Holders may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12 for any of the following purposes:

(a) to give any notice to the Company or to the Trustee or to give any directions to the Trustee permitted under this Indenture, or to consent to the waiving of any Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, or to take any other action authorized to be taken by Holders pursuant to any of the provisions of Article 6;

Section 12.02 Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders to take any action specified in Section 12.01, to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Holders, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting and the establishment of any record date pursuant to Section 11.01, shall be mailed to Holders of such Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the security register of the Registrar. Such notice shall also be mailed to the Company. Such notices shall be mailed not less than twenty (20) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

Any meeting of Holders shall be valid without notice if the Holders of all Securities then outstanding are present in person or by proxy or if notice is waived before or after the meeting by the Holders of all Securities outstanding, and if the Company and the Trustee are either present by duly authorized representatives or have, before or after the meeting, waived notice.

Section 12.03 Call of Meetings by Company or Holders. In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of such meeting within twenty (20) days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders may determine the time and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 12.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section 12.02.

Section 12.04 Qualifications for Voting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders a Person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Securities on the record date pertaining to such meeting or (b) be a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by a Holder of one or more Securities on the record date pertaining to such meeting. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.

Section 12.05 Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders, in regard to proof of the holding of Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit.

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 12.03, in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of Holders of greater than two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting, or, if no Holder and its Affiliates in the aggregate beneficially own a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09, at any meeting of Holders each Holder or proxyholder shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities held or represented by such Holder or proxyholder, as the case may be; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities held by it or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating it as the proxy to vote on behalf of other Holders. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.02 or Section 12.03 may be adjourned from time to time by the Holders of greater than two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting, or, if no Holder and its Affiliates in the aggregate beneficially own a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting, in each case whether or not constituting a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

Section 12.06 Voting. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the outstanding principal amount of the Securities held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 12.02. The record shall show the principal amount of the Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

Section 12.07 No Delay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under any of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Securities.

ARTICLE 13

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

Section 13.01 Right to Redeem. Beginning [4th anniversary of the Issue Date], the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, other than the Securities that the Company is required to repurchase pursuant to Article 3, if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for 20 or more Trading Days in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the Company provides notice of such redemption exceeds 140% of the applicable Conversion Price in effect on each such Trading Day (such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”).

(a) If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Redemption Price shall be payable in cash and shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Securities being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date (or, in the case of a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price, the day on which such Default is no longer continuing); provided further, that if the Redemption Date occurs after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the interest payable in respect of such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of record at the Close of Business on the corresponding Record Date, and the Redemption Price payable to the Holder who presents the Security for redemption shall be 100% of the principal amount of such Security.

(b) No Securities may be redeemed by the Company pursuant to an Optional Redemption if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded by the Holders, on or prior to the Redemption Date.

Section 13.02 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) by lot, or on a pro rata basis or by any other method the Trustee considers reasonable and, in the case of any Global Securities, in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary (so long as such method is not prohibited by the rules of The NASDAQ Global Select Market or any stock exchange on which the Securities are then listed, as applicable); provided however that no Security with a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection within seven days from its receipt of the Notice of Optional Redemption from the Company delivered pursuant to Section 13.03 from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption or submitted for conversion or repurchase.

Section 13.03 Notice of Optional Redemption. Not more than 60 calendar days but not less than 30 calendar days prior to a Redemption Date in connection with an Optional Redemption (the “Optional Redemption Required Notice Period”), the Company shall mail a written notice of redemption (a “Notice of Optional Redemption”) by first-class mail, postage prepaid (in the case of Securities held in book entry form, by electronic transmission), to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at their addresses set forth in the Register; provided however, that the Company shall not deliver any such notice to any Holder, the Trustee or the Paying Agent at any time when there exists any Default or an Event of Default.

The Notice of Optional Redemption shall specify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) the applicable Conversion Rate, the applicable Conversion Price and the Settlement Method to be used in respect of any conversion of Securities;

(iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

(v) that Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price, such date on which the Company pays the Redemption Price), at which time the right of the Holder to convert such Securities called for redemption will expire;

(vi) that Holders who want to convert Securities must satisfy the requirements set forth therein and in this Indenture;

(vii) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent for cancellation to collect the Redemption Price;

(viii) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers (if such Securities are held other than in global form) and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(ix) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

(x) the CUSIP number of the Securities.

At the time that such Notice of Optional Redemption is provided, the Company will publish a notice containing such information in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish the information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

At the Company’s written request delivered at least five Business Days (unless a shorter time period shall be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date such Notice of Optional Redemption is to be given, the Trustee shall give the Notice of Optional Redemption to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed within the Optional Redemption Required Notice Period in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense.

Section 13.04 Effect of Notice of Optional Redemption. Once a Notice of Optional Redemption is given, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the Notice of Optional Redemption except for Securities that are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price stated in the Notice of Optional Redemption.

Section 13.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. If the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price with respect to any Securities for which a Notice of Optional Redemption has been given, then, immediately on and after the Redemption Date, interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue, whether or not the Securities are delivered to the Paying Agent, and all other rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price of such Security.

Section 13.06 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part pursuant to an Optional Redemption, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Security in an authorized denomination, which shall be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. The Company shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Securities being redeemed in part. If the Trustee selects a portion of a Holder’s Securities for Optional Redemption and the Holder converts a portion of such Holder’s Securities, the converted portion of such Holder’s Securities shall be deemed to be from the portion selected for redemption, except to the extent of the excess, if any, of such converted portion over such portion selected for redemption.

On or after [4th anniversary of the Issue Date], and prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Securities if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 140% of the applicable Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the Company delivers the Notice of Optional Redemption.

8. Conversion.

The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with certain transfers or exchanges as set forth in the Indenture. The Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security for which a Repurchase Notice has been delivered, and not withdrawn, in accordance with the Indenture, except the unrepurchased portion of Securities being repurchased in part.

If any of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related Events of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Subject to certain exceptions, the Required Holders by written notice to the Trustee may rescind or annul an acceleration and its consequences if certain conditions specified in the Indenture are satisfied.

13. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, or any banking institution serving as successor Trustee thereunder, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for, the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

(a) On or prior to each Filing Date, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement (i) shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another available form) and, if the Company is a WKSI as of the Filing Date, shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) shall contain (except if otherwise requested by the Electing Holders or required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) the Plan of Distribution.

In addition, the Company will, promptly and from time to time, use reasonable best efforts to file such additional Registration Statements to cover resales of any Registrable Securities which are not registered for resale pursuant to a pre-existing Registration Statement no later than the Filing Date with respect thereto, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective or otherwise to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the applicable Filing Date but, in any event, no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times during the Effectiveness Period; provided that, the Company will not be obligated to update the Registration Statement and no sales may made under the applicable Registration Statement during any Black-Out Period of which the Holders have received actual notice; provided further that, the Company will not be obligated to amend the Registration Statement (which amendment may be effected through a Prospectus) or file any additional Registration Statement to add additional Holders as selling securityholders therein until such time as the Company has received completed Questionnaires with respect to at least $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Registrable Securities and in no event more than once in any fiscal quarter.

(b) If the Company at any time during a period the Registration Statement is effective reasonably determines in good faith and in its reasonable judgment that (i) the ongoing registration would be reasonably likely to materially interfere with a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company, would require premature disclosure of information (the premature disclosure of which could materially and adversely affect the Company) or would

otherwise be seriously detrimental to the Company or (ii) that the Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, is no longer effective or is otherwise not Available for use, the Company may suspend sales of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period of not more than seventy five (75) consecutive calendar days or an aggregate of one hundred twenty (120) days in any twelve month period (a “Black-Out Period”) and agrees to (i) furnish to each Holder a certificate signed by an officer of the Company to that effect and (ii) notify each Holder promptly upon each of the commencement and termination of each Black-Out Period.

Each of the Holders agree to keep the notice of Black-Out Period confidential and shall not disclose such notice or reasons to any Person other than such Holder’s legal counsel or as required by law.

(c) The registration rights granted under this Section 2 shall automatically terminate upon the earliest of (i) such time as there are no outstanding Registrable Securities, (ii) such time as the Holders, together with all Affiliates, hold Registrable Securities with an aggregate principal amount of less than $300,000,000 and (iii) [●]².

3. Registration Procedures.

The procedures to be followed by the Company and each selling Holder, and the respective rights and obligations of the Company and such Holders, with respect to the preparation, filing and effectiveness of a Registration Statement, and the distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, are as follows:

(a) At or before the Effective Date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. In the event that such qualification would require appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

(b) The Company will, at least five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than any amendment or supplement made through the incorporation by reference of ordinary course Exchange Act filings), (i) furnish to the Holders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of such Holders and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to address in each such document when so filed with the Commission such comments as the Holders reasonably shall propose.

(c) Subject to Section 2, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to (i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary under applicable law with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by

²	To match maturity date of the Notes.

any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to the Holders as selling securityholders but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company.

(d) The Company will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration Statements and the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.

(e) The Company will notify the Holders as promptly as reasonably possible (i) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; and (ii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose.

(f) The Company will use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, at the earliest practicable moment, or if any such order or suspension is made effective during any Black-Out Period, at the earliest practicable moment after the Black-Out Period is over.

(g) During the Effectiveness Period, the Company will furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is publicly available on the XXXXX system.

(h) The Company will promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses (other than any amendment or supplement made through the incorporation by reference of ordinary course Exchange Act filings) as such Persons may reasonably request during the Effectiveness Period. The Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with this Agreement.

(i) The Company will, prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the applicable state securities or blue sky laws of those jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and use its reasonable best efforts to do any

and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements; provided, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject the Company to general service of process or any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(j) The Company will cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statements, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request in writing. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to its transfer agent when and as required by such transfer agent from time to time, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement.

(k) Subject to Section 2, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to prepare such supplements or amendments, including a post-effective amendment, if required by applicable law, to each applicable Registration Statement and file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will be Available at all times during the Effectiveness Period; provided, that no such supplement, amendment or filing will be required during a Black-Out Period. No later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Trading Day on which the Company receives a written notice (a “Use Notice”) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Trading Day (or if such request is received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time), no later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the following Trading Day) from a Holder that such Holder intends to use the Registration Statement to resell Registrable Securities, the Company will (A) provide written confirmation to such Holder that the applicable Registration Statement is Available or (B) provide written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) that the use of such Registration Statement is suspended due to a Black-Out Period. No Suspension Notice will contain the reason for the Black-Out Period. The Company will promptly provide the Holders written notice when the Black-Out Period ends. If a Black-Out Period commences during any 30 Trading Day period following delivery of a Use Notice and a notice from the Company under clause (A) above, the Company will provide as promptly as practicable the Holders with written notice thereof and that the Registration Statement is no longer Available.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, no Holder of Registrable Securities may include any of its Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless the Holder furnishes to the Company a completed questionnaire substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Questionnaire”) for use in connection with the Registration Statement at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or an amendment thereof. Each Holder who intends to include any of its Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement shall promptly furnish the Company in writing such other information as the Company may reasonably request in writing.

(m) The Holders may distribute the Registrable Securities by means of up to two underwritten offerings; provided that (a) one or more Holders that hold not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by the Holders (the “Notifying Holders”) provide written notice to the Company of their intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering, (b) the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by the Notifying Holders; provided, however, that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, (c) each Holder participating in such underwritten offering agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled selecting the managing underwriter or underwriters hereunder and (d) each Holder participating in such underwritten offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Company hereby agrees with each Holder that, in connection with any underwritten offering in accordance with the terms hereof, it will negotiate in good faith and execute all indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using reasonable best efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters.

(n) In the event the Holders seek to complete an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 3(l), for a reasonable period prior to the filing of any Registration Statement, and throughout the Effectiveness Period, the Company will make available upon reasonable notice at the Company’s principal place of business or such other reasonable place for inspection by the managing underwriter or underwriters selected in accordance with Section 3(l), such financial and other information and books and records of the Company, and cause the officers, employees, counsel and independent certified public accountants of the Company to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary (and in the case of counsel, not violate an attorney-client privilege in such counsel’s reasonable belief), to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering on behalf of the Holders (and any managing underwriter or underwriters) shall be conducted by legal counsel to the Holders (and legal counsel to such managing underwriter or underwriters); provided, further, that each such party shall be required to maintain in confidence and not to disclose to any other Person any information or records reasonably designated by the Company as being confidential, until such time as (A) such information becomes a matter of public record (whether by virtue of its inclusion in the Registration Statement or in any other manner other than through the release of such information by any Person afforded access to such information pursuant hereto), or (B) such Person shall be required so to disclose such information pursuant to a subpoena or order of any court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the matter (subject to the requirements of such order, and only after such Person shall have given the Company prompt prior written notice of such requirement); provided, further, that nothing herein shall prohibit disclosure of records or information by each such party to any of their respective Affiliates or any limited partners of such Affiliates.

4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with their obligations under this Agreement (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions, but including all legal fees and expenses of one legal counsel to the Holders) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable

Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the Trading Market, and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the Notifying Holders included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of their internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, each Holder shall pay all underwriting and placement discounts and commissions, agency and placement fees, brokers’ commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall pay the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the single counsel to the Holders in connection with the Registration Statement (not to exceed $25,000 in the aggregate).

5. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its Affiliates and each underwriter, broker-dealer or selling agent, if any, which facilitates the disposition of Registrable Securities, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, stockholders and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder, underwriter, broker-dealer or selling agent (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433), or any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act) that does not otherwise constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions that are based solely upon information regarding such Holder, underwriter, broker-dealer or selling

agent furnished in writing to the Company by such Person expressly for use therein in the Questionnaire or pursuant to Section 3(l) or (ii) such Losses arise out of or are based upon transfers of Registrable Securities during a Black-Out Period of which the Holders received actual notice. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433), or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder in the Questionnaire or pursuant thereto. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any

impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include a statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by any Indemnified Party.

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, promptly upon receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no

Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder, net of any stock transfer taxes or underwriting or brokers’ commissions paid by such Holder, from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages, indemnity or contribution that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.

6. Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. To the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and submit all required Interactive Data Files (as defined in Rule 11 of Regulation S-T of the Commission), and shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder in connection with that Holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages alone would not provide adequate compensation for any Losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of the Holders under this Agreement are several and not joint.

(b) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, that it will not commence a disposition of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder has received (A) written confirmation from the Company of the availability of the Registration Statement as described in Section 3(k)(A), (B) written confirmation from the Company that the Black-Out Period has ceased as described in Section 3(k) or (C) copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement as described in Section 3(k), and, in each case, has also received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by

reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

(c) Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Electing Holders. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

(d) Notices. Except where explicitly stated otherwise, any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic mail as specified in this Section prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or electronic mail as specified in this Agreement later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

The Company may not assign (other than by operation of law) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Electing Holders. The Holders may not assign their rights and obligations hereunder (other than by operation of law); provided that a Holder may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of such Holder and to any Person that has acquired the Notes or Common Stock in connection with any foreclosure of any Notes or Common Stock pledged in connection with the Back Leverage (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and any Holder may grant a security interest in its respective rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement in connection with any Back Leverage.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

(j) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(k) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or

unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

ANNEX A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling securityholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer some or all of the notes or common stock (collectively, “Securities”) covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

The selling securityholders will not pay any of the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration and sale of the shares covered by this prospectus, but they will pay any and all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes, if any, attributable to sales of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our notes and common stock covered hereby.

The selling securityholders may sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time, and may also decide not to sell all or any of the Securities that they are allowed to sell under this prospectus. The selling securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. Sales may be made by the selling securityholders in one or more types of transactions, which may include:

•

purchases by underwriters, dealers and agents who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholders and/or the purchasers of the Securities for whom they may act as agent;

•

one or more block transactions, including transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;

•

ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which a broker solicits purchases;

•

purchases by a broker-dealer or market maker, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•

the pledge of Securities for any loan or obligation, including pledges to brokers or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of Securities;

•

short sales or transactions to cover short sales relating to the Securities;

•

one or more exchanges or over the counter market transactions;

•

through distribution by a selling securityholder or its successor in interest to its members, general or limited partners or shareholders (or their respective members, general or limited partners or shareholders);

•

privately negotiated transactions;

•

the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

•

distributions to creditors and equity holders of the selling securityholders; and

•

any combination of the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under applicable law.

A selling securityholder may also resell all or a portion of its Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act provided it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.

The selling securityholders may enter into sale, forward sale and derivative transactions with third parties, or may sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those sale, forward sale or derivative transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions and by issuing securities that are not covered by this prospectus but are exchangeable for or represent beneficial interests in the common stock. The third parties also may use shares received under those sale, forward sale or derivative arrangements or shares pledged by the selling securityholder or borrowed from the selling securityholders or others to settle such third-party sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock. The third parties may deliver this prospectus in connection with any such transactions. Any third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part).

In addition, the selling securityholders may engage in hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of Securities or otherwise. In those transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may also sell securities short and redeliver securities to close out such short positions. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery of securities to the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such securities pursuant to this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may loan or pledge shares, and the borrower or pledgee may sell or otherwise transfer the Securities so loaned or pledged pursuant to this prospectus. Such borrower or pledgee also may transfer those Securities to investors in our securities or the selling securityholders’ securities or in connection with the offering of other securities not covered by this prospectus.

To the extent necessary, we may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, upon being notified by the selling securityholders that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, offering or a purchase by a broker or dealer. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the specific terms of the offering of securities, including:

•

the number of Securities offered;

•

the price of such Securities;

•

the proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of such Securities;

•

the names of the underwriters or agents, if any;

•

any underwriting discounts, agency fees or other compensation to underwriters or agents; and

•

any discounts or concessions allowed or paid to dealers.

The selling securityholders may, or may authorize underwriters, dealers and agents to, solicit offers from specified institutions to purchase Securities from the selling securityholders at the public offering price listed in the applicable prospectus supplement. These sales may be made under “delayed delivery contracts” or other purchase contracts that provide for payment and delivery on a specified future date. Any contracts like this will be described in and be subject to the conditions listed in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling securityholders. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of Securities for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving securities. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.

In connection with sales of Securities covered hereby, the selling securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent and any other participating broker-dealer that executes sales for the selling securityholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Accordingly, any profits realized by the selling securityholders and any compensation earned by such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Because the selling securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act, the selling securityholders must deliver this prospectus and any prospectus supplement in the manner required by the Securities Act. This prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied through the facilities of the NASDAQ Global Select Market in accordance with Rule 153 under the Securities Act or satisfied in accordance with Rule 174 under the Securities Act.

We and the selling securityholders have agreed to indemnify each other against certain

liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, we or the selling securityholders may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against or contribute to any payments the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates are permitted to be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates or the selling securityholders or their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

The selling securityholders will be subject to applicable provisions of Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Securities by the selling securityholders. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities. These restrictions may affect the marketability of such Securities.

In order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states, the Securities may be sold in those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available. In addition, any Securities of a selling securityholder covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold in open market transactions under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

In connection with an offering of Securities under this prospectus, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions.

These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities offered under this prospectus. As a result, the price of the

Securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or another securities exchange or automated quotation system, or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement (the “Issuer Agreement”) is being entered into at the request of [Name of Borrower], a [Jurisdiction of Organization][Entity Type] (the “Borrower”), in connection with the Loan Agreement dated as of [ ] between the Borrower and [Name of Lender], as lender (including any agent acting therefor, the “Lender”) (as amended and supplemented from time to time, and together with any security agreement executed in connection therewith, the “Margin Loan Agreement”), and the exercise of remedies by the Lender under the Margin Loan Agreement, including in such exercise of remedies, foreclosure, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock (each as defined below) made in connection with a Coverage Event (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement)¹ or an acceleration upon an event of default² or as otherwise contemplated by the Margin Loan Agreement, collectively, the “Exercise of Remedies”, and, together with the Margin Loan Agreement, the “Transactions”); for the avoidance of doubt, any Exercise of Remedies shall be made pursuant to and subject to the foreclosure limitations set forth in Annex A (the “Foreclosure Limitations”). For purposes of this Issuer Agreement, “Closing Date” shall mean [●], 20[●]. Pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, the Lender is acquiring a first priority security interest in, inter alia, (x) $[ ] in aggregate principal amount of 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 20[●] (the “Convertible Notes” and, upon crediting of such Convertible Notes to the Collateral Account, the “Pledged Convertible Notes”) of Broadcom Limited (the “Issuer”) issued pursuant to an indenture, dated [●], 20[●] (the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and [●], as trustee (the “Trustee”) and (y) certain shares of common stock of the Issuer that may be received upon conversion of the Convertible Notes from time to time (the “Common Stock” and, upon crediting of such shares of Common Stock to the Collateral Account, the “Pledged Common Stock”) to secure the Borrower’s obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement. The Pledged Convertible Notes and any Pledged Common Stock will be credited or delivered to, and held in, one or more accounts at a third-party custodian (which may be the Lender or an affiliate thereof) (the “Custodian”) in each case subject to the security interest granted under the Margin Loan Agreement (each, a “Collateral Account”, and collectively, the “Collateral Accounts”). As used herein, “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open in New York City, “DTC” means the Depository Trust Company, and “Holding Period Start Date” means the later of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the date on which the Lender’s “holding period” under Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), commences.

(b) The Issuer agrees and acknowledges that the Borrower shall have the right to pledge and sell the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock to the extent permitted in connection with “Back Leverage” pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement by and among [●] (the “Note Purchase Agreement”).

(c) The Issuer acknowledges that pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, the Borrower can assign by way of security to the Lender its rights under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined under the Note Purchase Agreement) under the Margin Loan Agreement, and confirms that it has no objection to the assignment of such rights thereunder or any transfers of Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock to the Lender made in connection with the grant of the security interest to the Lender or any Exercise of Remedies.

(d) Except as required by applicable law and stock exchange rules, as determined in good faith by the Issuer, the Issuer will not take any actions intended to hinder or delay any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement. Without limiting the generality of paragraphs (e) through (h) below, the Issuer agrees, upon Lender’s request in connection with any Exercise of Remedies, to cooperate in good faith (and in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Indenture and in accordance with applicable law) with the Lender, the Trustee and/or the Transfer Agent (as defined below) relating to the Common Stock in any transfer of Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock or conversion of Pledged Convertible Notes to Pledged Common Stock, in each case, made pursuant to any exercise by the Lender of its remedies under the Margin Loan Agreement.

(e) In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Issuer shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith with the Lender in any transfer of Pledged Convertible Notes pursuant to any such Exercise of Remedies, including to cause such Pledged Convertible Notes to be in book-entry DTC form if such Pledged Convertible Notes are (i) sold in a registered offering under the Securities Act, (ii) sold in a transaction exempt from registration under Rule 144A or Regulation

For purposes of any transfer of Pledged Convertible Notes in the form of physical securities in connection with an Exercise of Remedies, the Issuer will not require any additional requirements to those set forth in the Foreclosure Limitations and the Indenture, other than, for any transfer of Restricted Securities (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the date that is one year immediately following the Holding Period Start Date (or such other time as may then apply under applicable securities laws), if the restrictive legends with respect to the Restricted Securities will be removed, an opinion of counsel from either (i) counsel to the Issuer or (ii) another nationally recognized counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, stating, inter alia, that the restrictive notations with respect to the Pledged Convertible Notes may be removed (an “Opinion of Counsel”) and any applicable requirements of the Trustee with respect to such transfer.

(f) In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Issuer shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith with the Lender in any transfer of shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of Pledged Convertible Notes pursuant to any such Exercise of Remedies and any Pledged Common Stock, including, if requested by the Lender, to cause such pledged shares of Common Stock and Pledged Common Stock to be in book-entry DTC form and, if such shares are (i) sold pursuant to a sale registered under the Securities Act or (ii) in compliance with Rule 144, as determined by the Issuer in reliance on an Opinion of Counsel, without any restricted legends and bearing an unrestricted CUSIP. In connection with an Exercise of Remedies, for purposes of any conversion of Pledged Convertible Notes in the form of physical securities and concurrent transfer of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of such Pledged Convertible Notes, the Issuer will not require any additional requirements to those set forth in the Foreclosure Limitations and the Indenture, other than (A) a certificate executed by or on behalf of the Borrower, in substantially the form set forth in Attachment 1 to Exhibit A attached to the Indenture as if references therein to Convertible Notes were instead references to Common Stock issued upon conversion of Convertible Notes mutatis mutandis and (B) for any transfer of Common Stock bearing the Common Stock Private Placement Legend (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the date one year immediately following the Holding Period Start Date (or such other time as may then apply under applicable securities laws), an Opinion of Counsel and any applicable requirements of the Transfer Agent with respect to such transfer.

(g) In connection with any Exercise of Remedies whereby all or any portion of the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock is or may be sold in a private resale transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act prior to the date one year immediately following the Holding Period Start Date (or such other time as may then apply under applicable securities laws, as reasonably determined by Issuer), the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to provide, within a reasonable time following a request by the Lender, a reasonable opportunity for a customary business, legal and documentary diligence investigation to potential purchasers of such Pledged Convertible Notes and/or shares of Pledged Common Stock that are institutional investors that confirm they are acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not to influence Control (as defined below) of the Issuer, as identified by the Lender in such notice, subject to customary non-disclosure agreements to be executed by any such purchaser; provided that (i) such diligence investigation is not unreasonably disruptive to the business of the Issuer and its subsidiaries and (ii) the Issuer shall, for the avoidance of doubt, not be required to provide any diligence investigation or similar access to a competitor.

(h) Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to instruct the Trustee and/or Transfer Agent, as applicable, to give effect to the transfers contemplated above reasonably promptly upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions therefor.

(i) The Issuer will make all payments on the Pledged Convertible Notes and the Pledged Common Stock with a record date on and after the Closing Date to the Collateral Accounts, as irrevocably directed by the Borrower, unless the Issuer has received a written notice from the Borrower and the Lender directing otherwise.

(j) The Issuer represents and warrants that:

(1) the Issuer has not entered into any other “issuer agreement” or agreement similar to this Issuer Agreement with respect to the Pledged Convertible Notes and/or the Pledged Common Stock other than in connection with the Margin Loan Agreement⁴; and

(2) The Pledged Convertible Notes will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and the terms of the Indenture and upon payment therefor, be valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Indenture, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Pledged Common Stock, when issued upon conversion of the Pledged Convertible Notes will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights and will rank pari passu in all respects with all other existing shares of Common Stock.

The provisions of this Section 1 are solely for the benefit of the Lender, and no other person shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

2. Lender Agreements. The Lender represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with Issuer, that:

(a) The Lender agrees and acknowledges that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Coverage Event or an event of default or another event under the Margin Loan Agreement that results in any Exercise of Remedies, the Lender shall not have the right to rehypothecate, use, borrow, lend, pledge or sell the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock; provided that, subject to clause (e) below in the case of an assignment, the Lender may pledge or assign its rights under the Margin Loan Agreement.
