Ladies and Gentlemen:

Summit Hotel Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Summit Hotel OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), propose that the Company will issue and sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule I annexed hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters,” which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 9 hereof), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Initial Securities”).

The Company and the Operating Partnership also propose that the Company will issue and sell to the several Underwriters $37,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the $250,000,000 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 of the Company (the “Option Securities” and, together with the Initial Securities, the “Securities”), solely to cover over-allotments, if any, if and to the extent that the Underwriters shall have determined to exercise the right to purchase such Option Securities granted to the Underwriters in Section 2 hereof. The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 12, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of January 12, 2021 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee.

In connection with the offering of the Initial Securities, the Company is separately entering into capped call transactions with certain financial institutions, including with one or more of the Underwriters (or affiliates thereof) (the “Option Counterparties”), in each case pursuant to separate capped call transaction confirmations (the “Base Capped Call Confirmations”), to be dated the date hereof, and in connection with any exercise by the Underwriters of their option to purchase any Option Securities, the Company and the Option Counterparties may enter into additional capped call transactions pursuant to additional capped call transaction confirmations (the “Additional Capped Call Confirmations”), to be dated the date on which the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase such Option Securities. The Base Capped Call Confirmations and the Additional Capped Call Confirmations are referred to herein collectively as the “Capped Call Confirmations.”

The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as the Representatives deem advisable after this Underwriting Agreement (this “Agreement”) has been executed and delivered and the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1939 Act”).

An automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231156), as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto, including a form of prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), covering the registration of the offer and sale of certain securities (including the Securities), has been prepared and filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”) which automatic shelf registration statement and Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto each became effective under Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act (“Rule 462(e)”).

Each preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus used in connection with the offering of the Securities, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, are collectively referred to herein as a “Preliminary Prospectus.” Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (“Rule 424(b)”). The final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, in the form first furnished or made available to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, are collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system) (“XXXXX”).

On each day, if any, that Option Securities are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the amount of Option Securities that bears the same proportion to the total amount of Option Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the amount of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule I annexed hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total amount of Initial Securities, subject in each case to such adjustments as the Representatives in their discretion shall make to ensure that any sales or purchases are in authorized denominations.

(c) Payment and Delivery of Securities.

If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented or the Pricing Disclosure Package would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriters to suspend the offering of Securities during such period and the Company will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

The Company will not take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Underwriter that the Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.

(j) Amendment of the Pricing Disclosure Package. If the Pricing Disclosure Package is being used to solicit offers to buy the Securities at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Pricing Disclosure Package conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package to comply with applicable law, the Company will promptly prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Pricing Disclosure Package so as to correct such statement or omission, eliminate such conflict or comply with applicable law.

The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters, and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any and all amounts paid in settlement (in accordance with Section 5(c)) of, any action, suit or proceeding between any of the indemnified parties and any indemnifying parties or between any indemnified party and any third party, or otherwise, or any claim asserted), as and when incurred, to which the Underwriter, or any such person, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses or damages arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereof) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h), any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d), any road show not constituting a free writing prospectus, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage arises from or is caused directly or indirectly by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by the Representatives expressly for inclusion in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereof), any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h), any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d), any road show not constituting a free writing prospectus, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereof), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Representatives as aforesaid consists of the first paragraph under the heading “Underwriting— Underwriting Discount,” the information in the first and second paragraphs under the heading “Underwriting — Price Stabilization, Short Positions” and the information under the heading “Underwriting—Electronic Distribution” in the Prospectus (but only insofar as such information concerns the Underwriters) (“Underwriter Information”). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have.

(b) Underwriter Indemnification. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Company’s directors, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses to which the Company, or any such person, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, as and when incurred, but only insofar as such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises from or is caused directly or indirectly by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereof), any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h), any issuer information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d), any road show not constituting a free writing prospectus, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereof), made in reliance on and in conformity with Underwriter Information.

(c) Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 5 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 5, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from (i) any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5 and (ii) any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 5 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any fees, disbursements or other charges of counsel except as provided below. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the written advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on the written advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) and all such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly as they are incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 5 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) such settlement does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Company or the Underwriters, the Company and the Underwriters will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons other than the agents, if any), to which the Company and the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Underwriters, respectively. The relative benefits received by the parties hereto shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total compensation received by the Underwriters from the sale of Securities on behalf of the Company. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Company and the Underwriters, respectively, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters, respectively, and their relative intent, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several in proportion to the proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto, and not joint. The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 5(d) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 5(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with Section 5(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(d), the Underwriters shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the aggregate commissions received by it under this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5(d), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any affiliates, officers, directors, partners, employees or agents of the Underwriters, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, and each director of the Company and each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 5(d), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 5(d) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5(c) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof.

6. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

All representations and warranties of the Company and the Operating Partnership herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters, any controlling persons, or the Company (or any of their respective officers who sign the Registration Statement or any directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

7. Termination.

The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, as hereinafter specified at any time (a) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, which individually or in the aggregate, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, has or could have a Material Adverse Effect and makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (b) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (c) if trading in the Common Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock or the Series E Preferred Stock has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the NYSE, or if trading generally on the NYSE has been suspended or limited, (d) if any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall have occurred and be continuing, (e) if a major disruption of securities settlements or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred and be continuing or (f) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either U.S. Federal or New York authorities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 7, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 3(n) hereof.

8. Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9. Defaulting Underwriters.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I annexed hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Representatives may specify, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 9 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such aggregate principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Initial Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Initial Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Operating Partnership, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Section 3(n). In any such case, either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Representatives, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Pricing Disclosure Package, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Option Securities and the aggregate number of Option Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Option Securities to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Option Securities to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Option Securities that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

10. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship.

(d) the Company and the Operating Partnership each disclaims any intention to impose fiduciary obligations on the Underwriters by virtue of the engagement contemplated by this Agreement;

11. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Pricing Term Sheet
$250,000,000 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026

This pricing term sheet supplements Summit Hotel Properties, Inc.’s preliminary prospectus supplement, dated January 6, 2021 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), including the documents incorporated by reference therein, relating to the offering of the Notes, and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. In all other respects, this pricing term sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. Terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement. All references to dollar amounts are references to U.S. dollars. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Issuer,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this pricing term sheet mean Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. and not its subsidiaries.

Issuer:	Summit Hotel Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation

Title of Securities:	1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”)

Ticker/Exchange for Common Stock:	INN / New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”)

Securities Offered:	$250,000,000 principal amount of Notes

Over-allotment Option:	Up to $37,500,000 principal amount of Notes

Maturity:	February 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, purchased or redeemed

Issue Price:	100.00%, plus accrued interest, if any, from January 12, 2021

Use of Proceeds:	We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $243,250,000 (or approximately $279,812,500 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional notes to cover over-allotments in full), after deducting the underwriting discount and our estimated offering expenses related to this offering.

	We expect to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the underwriters or their respective affiliates and other counterparties (the “option counterparties”). We intend to use approximately $18.4 million of the net proceeds from this offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional notes, we expect to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of such additional notes to enter into additional capped call transactions.

Sch.IV-1

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

if the stock price is between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

if the stock price is greater than $50.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate; or

if the stock price is less than $8.72 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate exceed 114.6788 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate is required to be adjusted as set forth under “Description of the Notes — Conversion Rights — Conversion Rate Adjustments” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
