Section 1.03 Rules of Construction.

(a) the terms defined in this Article I have the meaning assigned to them and include the plural as well as the singular and, to the extent applicable, supersede the definitions thereof in the Base Indenture;

(b) all words, terms and phrases defined in the Base Indenture (but not otherwise defined herein) shall have the same meanings as in the Base Indenture;

(c) all other terms used in this Supplemental Indenture that are defined in the TIA or the definitions of which in the Securities Act are referred to in the TIA, including terms defined therein by reference to the Securities Act (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise clearly requires), shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in said TIA and in said Securities Act as in force at the date of this Supplemental Indenture.

(d) an accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning assigned to it and will be construed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;

(e) “or” is not exclusive;

(f) the words “including”, “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”;

(g) unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to an “Article,” a “Section” or an “Exhibit” refers to an Article, a Section or an Exhibit, as the case may be, of this Supplemental Indenture;

(h) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision;

(i) words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural include the singular, unless the context requires otherwise;

(j) words importing any gender include the other genders;

(k) all references to $, dollars, cash payments or money refer to United States currency; and

(l) unless the context requires otherwise, all references to interest on the Notes (a) will include any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof, (b) but, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any Default Interest payable on a Defaulted Amount pursuant to the terms of Section 2.05(d) hereof.

Section 1.04 Acts of Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action will become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent will be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit will also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

(b) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note will bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent or the Registrar in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(c) If the Company will solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company will have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the Close of Business on such record date will be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and, for that purpose, the outstanding Notes will be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date will be deemed effective unless it will become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

ARTICLE II

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Scope of Supplemental Indenture. This Supplemental Indenture amends and supplements the provisions of the Base Indenture, to which provisions reference is hereby made. The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and shall only govern the terms of, the Notes, which may be issued from time to time in accordance herewith, and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements. For all purposes under the Base Indenture, the Notes shall constitute a single series of Securities. The provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall supersede any conflicting provisions in the Base Indenture.

Section 2.02 Designation, Amount and Issuance of Notes.

(a) The Notes will be designated as “1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027.” The initial aggregate principal amount of Notes to be issued, authenticated and delivered on the Issue Date under this Indenture is $265,000,000. From time to time, the Company may issue and execute, and the Trustee may authenticate, Notes delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 3.06 and 10.02 hereof. In addition, the Company may issue an unlimited aggregate principal amount of additional Notes in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.02.

(b) Without the consent of any Holder, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.02(a) or 2.06 hereof, the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture by reopening this Indenture and issuing additional Notes with the same terms as the initial Notes (except, to the extent applicable, with respect to the issue price, the date as of which interest shall begin to accrue on such additional Notes and as to the Last Original Issue Date with respect to such additional Notes as provided in the proviso to the definition thereof), which Notes will, subject to the foregoing, be considered to be part of the same series of Notes as those initially issued hereunder; provided, however, that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with other Notes issued hereunder for federal income tax purposes, then such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to issuing any such additional Notes, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel will address any matters required to be addressed under Section 12.03 hereof.

Section 2.03 Form of Notes.

(a) General. The Notes will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, but may include any notations, legends or endorsements required by any applicable law (or regulation promulgated thereunder), stock exchange rule or usage, or any insertions, omissions or other variations otherwise permitted or required by this Indenture. Whenever any such notation, legend or endorsement, or any such insertion, omission or other variation is applicable to a Note, the Company will provide such notation, legend or endorsement, or such insertion, omission or other variation to the Trustee in writing.

Each Note will bear a Trustee’s certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

Notes that are Global Notes will bear the Global Notes Legend and the “Schedule of Increases and Decreases of Global Note” attached thereto.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent that any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture will govern and control.

(b) Initial and Subsequent Notes. The Notes initially will be issued in global form, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.10(c) hereof, all Notes will be represented by one or more Global Notes.

(c) Global Notes. Each Global Note will represent the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes endorsed thereon and provide that it represents such aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes, which aggregate principal amount may, from time to time, be reduced or increased to reflect transfers, exchanges, conversions, redemptions or repurchases by the Company.

Only the Trustee, or the custodian holding such Global Note for the Depositary, at the direction of the Trustee, may endorse a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes represented thereby, and whenever the Holder of a Global Note delivers instructions to the Trustee to increase or decrease the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes represented by a Global Note in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof, the Trustee, or the custodian holding such Global Note for the Depositary, at the direction of the Trustee, will endorse such Global Note to reflect such increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes represented thereby. None of the Trustee, the Company or any agent of the Trustee or the Company will have any responsibility or bear any liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, the ownership of any beneficial interest in a Global Note or with respect to maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interest.

Neither any member of, or participant in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act will have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note or under such Global Note, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee, may, for all purposes, treat the Depositary, or its nominee, if any, as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note.

None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent and the Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Note, an Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures. The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent and the Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the conversion Agent and the Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Note (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Note) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent and the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Note, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Note, for any transactions between the Depositary and any Agent Member or between or among the Depositary, any such Agent Member and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.

The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes with respect to such Global Note, and, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary (or its nominee) as such Holder or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of their respective customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any interest in any Global Note.

Section 2.04 Denomination of Notes. The Notes will be issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and in integral multiples thereof.

Section 2.05 Payments.

(a) General.

(i) Payment at Maturity. Unless earlier paid or deemed paid pursuant to any of Sections 3.05, 10.03 or 11.06 hereof, the Notes will mature on October 15, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”) and, on the Maturity Date, the Company will pay each Holder of Notes $1,000 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Maturity Date on such Notes.

(ii) Payment of Interest. Each Note will accrue interest at a rate equal to 1.50% per annum from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, the Issue Date (or such other date provided for in Section 2.02(b) with respect to Notes issued in accordance with such Section) until, subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(d), the date the principal amount of such Note is paid or deemed paid, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i) or any of Sections 3.05, 10.03 or 11.06 hereof.

Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning April 15, 2022 (or such other date provided for in Section 2.02(b) with respect to Notes issued in accordance with such Section), to the Holder of each such Note as of the Close of Business on the April 1 and October 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”), regardless of whether such Note is converted, repurchased or redeemed after such Regular Record Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.

(iii) Method of Payment. The Company will pay the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price for, and the interest on, any Global Note to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the relevant payment date.

The Company will pay the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, and any interest due on the Maturity Date on, any Definitive Note in cash to the applicable Holder of such Note at the office of the Paying Agent on the relevant payment date.

The Company will pay interest due, on an Interest Payment Date, on any Definitive Note (except interest due on the Maturity Date) to the applicable Holder of such Note (i) if such Holder holds $5,000,000 or less aggregate principal amount of Notes, by check mailed to such Holder’s registered address, and (ii) if such Holder holds more than $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, (A) by check mailed to such Holder’s registered address or (B) if such Holder delivers, not later than the Regular Record Date relating to such Interest Payment Date, a written request to the Registrar that the Company make such payments by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account, which request shall remain in effect until such Holder notifies, in writing, the Registrar to the contrary.

(b) Interest Rights Preserved. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(d) hereof, and, to the extent applicable, Sections 2.10 and 2.11 hereof, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any other Note will carry any rights to the payment and accrual of interest that were carried by the relevant surrendered Note, Notes, or portion(s) thereof.

(c) Additional Interest. Pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof, in certain circumstances, the Company may, at its election, be obligated to pay Holders Additional Interest. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this Indenture to interest on the Notes will include such Additional Interest, but will not include any Default Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.05(d) hereof.

(d) Defaulted Amounts. Whenever any amount payable on a Note (including, the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, and interest on, such Note) has become due and payable, but the Company fails to punctually pay or duly provide for such amount (any such amount, a “Defaulted Amount”), such Defaulted Amount will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of such Note on the relevant payment date by virtue of its having been due such payment on such payment date, but will instead, to the extent permitted under applicable law, accrue interest (“Default Interest”) at a rate equal to the then-applicable interest rate plus 1.00% per annum from, and including, such payment date and to, but excluding, the date on which such Defaulted Amount is paid by the Company in accordance with either Section 2.05(d)(i) or Section 2.05(d)(ii) below.

(i) The Company may elect to pay any Defaulted Amount and Default Interest on such Defaulted Amount to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the Close of Business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest (a “Special Regular Record Date”) fixed in accordance with the following procedures:

(1) At least 30 days before the date on which the Company proposes to pay such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon, the Company will deliver to the Trustee written notice of (I) the proposed payment date for such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon and (II) the aggregate amount of such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon.

(2) Simultaneously with delivering such notice to the Trustee, the Company will either (I) deposit with the Trustee an amount of money, in immediately available funds, equal to the aggregate amount of such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon, or (II) take other actions that the Trustee deems reasonably satisfactory to ensure that an amount of money, in immediately available funds, equal to the aggregate of such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon will be deposited with the Trustee by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day that is five Business Days prior to the proposed payment date, and in either case, upon receipt of such money, the Trustee will hold such money in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest pursuant to this Section 2.05(d)(i).

(3) Upon (i) receipt of such notice and (ii) the Company’s depositing such money or taking such other actions reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company will promptly fix a Special Regular Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon, which Special Regular Record Date will be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 days prior to the proposed payment date, and notify the Trustee of the Special Regular Record Date. The Trustee will then, in the name and at the expense of the Company, deliver notice to each Holder specifying such Special Regular Record Date and the date on which such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon will be paid by the Company.

(4) After such notice has been delivered by the Trustee, such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon will be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the Close of Business on the Special Regular Record Date specified in such notice and such Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest thereon will no longer be payable pursuant to this Section 2.05(d).

(ii) The Company may pay any Defaulted Amounts and Default Interest on such Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner that is not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes are then listed (or, if applicable, have been approved for listing) or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.05(d)(ii), such manner of payment will be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.06 Execution and Authentication.

(a) In General. A Note will be valid only if executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee.

(b) Execution. A Note will be deemed to have been executed by the Company when an Officer signs such Note on behalf of the Company. The Officer’s signature may be manual or facsimile, and the validity of such Officer’s signature will not turn on whether such signatory remains an Officer at the time the Trustee authenticates such Note.

(c) Authentication. A Note will be deemed authenticated when an authorized signatory of the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on such Note by manual or PDF or other electronically imaged (such as DocuSign or Adobe Sign) signature. An authorized signatory of the Trustee will sign the certificate of authentication on a Note only if (i) the Company delivers such Note to the Trustee, (ii) such Note is validly executed by the Company in accordance with Section 2.06(b) hereof, and (iii) the Company delivers, before or with such Note, a Company Order setting forth (A) a request that the Trustee authenticate such Note; (B) the principal amount of such Note; (C) the name of the Holder of such Note, (D) the date on which such Note is to be authenticated; and (E) any insertions, omissions or other variations, notations, legends or endorsements permitted under Section 2.03 hereof and applicable to such Note. If the Company Order also specifies that the Trustee must deliver such Note to the Holder or the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly deliver such Note in accordance with such Company Order.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent. If the Trustee appoints an authenticating agent and such authenticating agent is reasonably acceptable to the Company, such authenticating agent may authenticate a Note whenever the Trustee may authenticate such Note. For purposes of this provision, each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee will be deemed to include authentication by an authenticating agent, and an authenticating agent will have the same rights to deal with the Company as the Trustee would have if it were performing the duties that the authentication agent was validly appointed to undertake.

Section 2.07 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

(a) General. The Company will maintain an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for payment, repurchase or redemption (the “Paying Agent”), an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served.

The Registrar will keep a register for the recordation of, and will record, the names and addresses of Holders, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase, redemption and conversion of Notes (the “Register”). Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Indenture. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time.

The Company may have one or more registrars, one or more paying agents, one or more conversion agents and one or more places where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served. Before appointing any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that is not otherwise a party to this agreement, the Company will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with such Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, which agency agreement will implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such replacement or additional registrar, paying agent or conversion agent, as the case may be. The term Registrar includes any additional registrars named pursuant to this Indenture. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent named pursuant to this Indenture. The term Conversion Agent includes any additional conversion agent named pursuant to this Indenture. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(ix) or 6.01(a)(x) with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall be the Paying Agent.

(b) Initial Designations. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as each of the Registrar, the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, and the Notes initially may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, payment, repurchase, redemption and conversion to the Trustee, in its capacity as the Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, at the Corporate Trust Office. Notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served at the Corporate Trust Office.

(c) Removal, Resignation and Replacement. The Company may remove any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent by delivering written notice to the Trustee and to such Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent at least 30 days prior to the date of any such removal; provided, however, that no such removal will become effective unless (i) after such removal, at least one Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent will remain; (ii) a successor has accepted appointment as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, the Company and such successor have entered into an agency agreement in accordance with Section 2.07(a) hereof, and the Company has delivered written notice of such appointment and a copy of such agency agreement to the Trustee, or (iii) the Company has delivered written notice to the Trustee that the Trustee will serve as the successor Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.07(d) hereof; and provided, further, that the right to effect any such change or removal in no way relieves the Company of its obligation to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent in the continental United States. The Company may also change the place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served, or reduce the number of such places; provided, however, that the right to effect any such change or reduction in no way relieves the Company of its obligation to maintain a place in the continental United States where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served.

In addition, the Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent may resign at any time by delivering written notice of such resignation to each of the Company and the Trustee. If, after any such resignation, at least one Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent does not remain, the Trustee will immediately be deemed to serve such empty office or agency in accordance with Section 2.07(d) hereof.

(d) Failure to Maintain an Office or Agency. If the Company fails to maintain in the continental United States, a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served, the Trustee will act as the Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, or place, as the case may be, and the office where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, presented for payment, repurchase or redemption or surrendered for conversion, or place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served, as the case may be, will be the Corporate Trust Office. In each such case, the Trustee will be entitled to compensation for such action pursuant to Section 7.06 hereof.

(e) Notices. Promptly upon the effectiveness of any removal or appointment of a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, or upon any change in the location of the office of any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, or of the place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served, the Company will deliver to each Holder notice of such removal, appointment or change in location, as the case may be, which notice will include a brief description of the removal, appointment or change in location, as the case may be, and list the name and address of each continuing (and newly appointed, if applicable) Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent and place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and this Indenture may be served.

Section 2.08 Money and Securities Held in Trust. Except as otherwise provided herein, by no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date for a payment on any Note, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money in immediately available funds, if deposited on the due date sufficient to make such payment when due.

The Company will require that each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee, if the Trustee is a Paying Agent) agree in writing that it will (i) segregate all money and securities it holds for making payments with respect to the Notes; (ii) hold such money and securities in trust for the benefit of Holders; and (iii) notify the Trustee, in writing, as promptly as practicable, if the Company defaults in making any payment on the Notes.

If any such default has occurred and is continuing, the Paying Agent will, upon receiving a written request from the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all of the money and securities it holds in trust. In addition, at any time, the Company may require a Paying Agent to pay all money and securities that it holds for making payments with respect to the Notes to the Trustee and to account for any money and securities it has disbursed. After delivering all of such money and securities to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Paying Agent (in its capacity as such) will have no further liability for such money and securities.

Section 2.09 Holder Lists. The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee, (i) within five Business Days after each Regular Record Date, a list of the names and addresses of Holders as of such Regular Record Date, and (ii) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of such request, a list of the names and addresses of Holders as of no more than 15 days immediately prior to the date such list is furnished, in each case, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require.

If (a)(i) a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or (ii) the Holder of a Note claims that such Note has been lost, destroyed or stolen and provides the Company and the Trustee with (A) evidence of such loss, theft or destruction that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and (B) any amount or kind of security or indemnity that either of the Company or the Trustee reasonably request to protect itself from any loss that it may suffer upon replacement of such Note, and, in either case, (b) such Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee, including the payment of any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with the replacement of such Note, then, unless the Company or the Trustee receives notice that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company will, in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof, promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof, and the documents required by Sections 12.02 and 12.03 hereof, will promptly authenticate and deliver, in the name of such Holder, a replacement Note having the same aggregate principal amount as the Note that was mutilated or claimed to be lost, destroyed or stolen and with a certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.11 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, will constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes, regardless of whether the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all benefits of (and will be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Every such Temporary Note will be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Definitive Notes. Without unreasonable delay the Company will prepare, execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Definitive Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all Temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof and the Trustee or such authenticating agent will authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Temporary Notes Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to such Temporary Notes. Such exchange will be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the Temporary Notes will, in all respects, be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Definitive Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.13 Cancellation. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company shall cause any Notes acquired by it in any manner whatsoever to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled by it, and no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.14 Outstanding Notes. At any time, Notes outstanding are limited to all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except (i) those cancelled by it, (ii) those delivered to it for cancellation and (iii) those deemed not outstanding under Section 3.05(c), Section 10.02 and Section 11.06 hereof and clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.14.

(b) In addition, if the Company, any other obligor or an Affiliate of the Company or an Affiliate of such other obligor holds a Note, such Note will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time of any such determination will be considered in such determination (including determinations pursuant to Article VI and Article IX hereof).

Section 2.15 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered in the Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving the payment of the principal, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price of, and interest, if any, on, such Note, for the purpose of conversion of such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever with respect to such Note, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee will be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 2.16 Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.02, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes or securities law purposes, such additional Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the additional Notes and the form thereof and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel covering, in addition to those statements required by Sections 12.02 and 12.03, the issuance, authentication and delivery of the additional Notes and the execution and authentication of the Notes are authorized or permitted by this Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the additional Notes are valid, binding and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to then customary exceptions.

In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.13 and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon their repurchase.

Section 2.17 CUSIPs.

(a) Whenever “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers are generally in use, the Company will use CUSIP and ISIN numbers with respect to the Notes. Whenever the Company uses CUSIP and ISIN numbers, the Trustee will also use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in each notice it delivers to the Holders; provided, that neither the Company nor the Trustee will be responsible for any defect in any CUSIP or ISIN number that appears on any Note, check, advice of payment or notice, including any notice delivered pursuant to Section 11.03. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing in the event of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

(b) In addition, if, when any shares of Common Stock are issued upon conversion of a Note, CUSIP and ISIN numbers are generally in use, the Company will use CUSIP and ISIN numbers with respect to such shares of Common Stock.

(c) Whenever any of the CUSIP or ISIN numbers with respect to the Notes or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes change, cease to be used, or begin to be used, the Company will deliver prompt written notice of such change, cessation, or beginning to each of the Trustee and the Holders.

and, in each such case, the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

(a) Automatic Acceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(ix) or 6.01(a)(x) hereof occurs with respect to the Company, the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all of the then outstanding Notes will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any party.

(b) Optional Acceleration. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, by delivering a written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by delivering a written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all then outstanding Notes immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration, the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all then outstanding Notes will immediately become due and payable.

(c) Rescission of Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the then outstanding Notes, rescind any acceleration of the Notes and its consequences hereunder by delivering notice to the Trustee if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of the principal of, interest, if any, on, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price for, the Notes that has become due solely as a result of acceleration) have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture regarding any other matter.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes 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 will not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04 Sole Remedy for Failure to Report.

(a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes or in this Indenture, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for (i) any Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA any documents or reports it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vi) hereof relating to the Company’s failure to comply with Section 4.02 hereof (each of the obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Reporting Event of Default”) will, for the period beginning on the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which such Reporting Event of Default is cured or validly waived in accordance with Section 6.05 hereof and (B) the 360^th calendar day immediately following the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred, consist of the right to receive additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) on the Notes at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes for the first 180 days after the occurrence of the Reporting Event of Default and (ii) for the 180 calendar days after the expiration of such 180-day period, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum on the principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes. Any Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes.

(b) Limitation on Remedy. If (i) a Reporting Event of Default occurs and the Company elects that the sole remedy with respect to such Reporting Event of Default will be the Additional Interest and (ii) on the 361^st day immediately following, and including, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred, such Reporting Event of Default has not been cured or validly waived in accordance with Section 6.05 hereof, then the Notes will become subject to acceleration under Section 6.02(a) hereof on account of such Reporting Event of Default.

(c) Company Election Notice. To elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy for a Reporting Event of Default during the first 360 days after a Reporting Event of Default, the Company must deliver notice in writing of such election to the Holders, the Paying Agent and the Trustee prior to the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurs. Any such notice must include a brief description of the report that the Company failed, or will fail, to file, a statement that the Company is electing to pay the Additional Interest and the date on which such Reporting Event of Default will occur.

If a Reporting Event of Default occurs and the Company fails to timely deliver such notice for such Reporting Event of Default, the Notes will be subject to acceleration under Section 6.02(a) hereof on account of such Reporting Event of Default.

(d) Other Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Company elects to pay the Additional Interest with respect to any Reporting Event of Default, the Company’s election will not affect the rights of any Holder with respect to any other Event of Default, including with respect to any other Reporting Event of Default.

Section 6.05 Waiver of Past Defaults. If an Event of Default described in Sections 6.01(a)(i), 6.01(a)(ii), 6.01(a)(iii), 6.01(a)(iv) or 6.01(a)(vi) (which, in the case of Section 6.01(a)(vi) only, relates to a covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each affected Holder) or a Default that would lead to such an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, such Event of Default or Default may be waived only with the consent of each affected Holder. Every other Event of Default or Default may be waived by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes. Whenever any Event of Default is so waived, it will cease to exist, and whenever any Default is so waived, it will be deemed cured and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed not to occur. However, no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.06 Control by Majority. At any time, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or for exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, that the Trustee determines to be unduly prejudicial to the rights of a Holder or to the Trustee, or that would potentially involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s instituting such proceeding as the Trustee. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee will be entitled to security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.07 Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce (i) its rights to receive the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price for, interest, if any, on, a Note, or (ii) the failure of the Company to comply with its obligations under Article X to convert any Note, no Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(a) such Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of then-outstanding Notes deliver to the Trustee a written request that the Trustee pursue a remedy with respect to such Event of Default;

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provided, to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or other expense of compliance with such written request;

(d) the Trustee has not complied with such written request within 60 days after receipt of such written request and offer of security and/or indemnity in its sole discretion; and

(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes did not deliver to the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holder, it being understood that the Trustee does not have any affirmative duty to ascertain whether any usage of this Indenture by a Holder is unduly prejudicial to such other Holders.

Section 6.08 Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price for, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and any consideration due under Article X upon conversion of, its Note, on or after the respective due date, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment and/or delivery on or after the respective due date, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder and will not be subject to the requirements of Section 6.07 hereof.

Section 6.09 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i), 6.01(a)(ii), 6.01(a)(iii) or 6.01(a)(iv) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price for, interest, if any, on, and the Conversion Consideration, if any, due upon conversion of, the Notes, and, to the extent lawful, any Default Interest on any Defaulted Amounts, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection provided for under Section 7.06 hereof.

Section 6.10 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, will be entitled to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, will be denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or to accept or to adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.11 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, such money or property shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee), its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses, fees and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

SECOND: to the Holders, for any amounts due and unpaid on the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price for, accrued and unpaid interest on, and any Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of, any Note, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on all of the Notes; and

THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company or to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 6.11. If the Trustee so fixes a record date and a payment date, at least 15 days prior to such record date, the Company will deliver to each Holder and the Trustee a written notice, which notice will state such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment.

Section 6.12 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Article VII

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

(a) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(j) In no event will the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(k) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(l) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution.

(m) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under this Indenture for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and any current or future regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto or by virtue of the relevant holder failing to satisfy any certification or other requirements in respect of the Notes, in which event the Trustee shall make such payment after such withholding or deduction has been made and shall account to the relevant authorities for the amount so withheld or deducted and shall have no obligation to gross up any payment hereunder or pay any additional amount as a result of such withholding tax.

The Company hereby covenants with the Trustee that it will provide the Trustee with sufficient information so as to enable the Trustee to determine whether or not the Trustee is obliged, in respect of any payments to be made by it pursuant to the Indenture, to make any withholding or deduction pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations, or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof or any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation thereof (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement).

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.09 hereof.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, sufficiency, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it will not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it will not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Company’s compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty, or covenant, or agreement of any Person, other than the Trustee, made in this Indenture.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and a Trust Officer receives written notice of such defaults at its Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee will send to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after such Default first occurs, or, if it is not known to the Trustee at such time, as soon as practicable after it is known to the Trustee; provided, however, that except in the case of a Default that is, or would lead to, an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(i), 6.01(a)(ii), 6.01(a)(iii) or 6.01(a)(iv) hereof, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

Section 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee, from time to time, such compensation as will be agreed upon, from time to time, in writing for its services. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, fees and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company will indemnify the Trustee for and hold it harmless against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it and arising out of in connection with this Indenture, the Notes, acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder or liability in connection with the exercise or the performance of its duties or powers hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which a Trust Officer has actually received written notice will not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. If the Trustee is advised by counsel that it may have available to it defenses that are in conflict with the defenses available to the Company, then the Trustee may have separate counsel, and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Trustee incurred in evaluating whether such defense and/or conflict exists. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company need not pay for any settlement made by the Trustee without the Company’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee will extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, custodians, successors and assigns.

(b) To secure the Company’s payment obligations under this Section 7.06, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held in trust to pay the principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price on particular Notes.

(c) The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.06 will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the termination for any reason of this Indenture and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(ix) or 6.01(a)(x) hereof with respect to the Company, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

(d) “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by notifying the Company, in writing, at least 30 days prior to the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Trustee, in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will, upon payment of all of its costs, charges and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and the costs and expenses of its agents and counsel, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06(b) hereof.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 45 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

(g) The retiring Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any action or inaction of a successor Trustee.

Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger.

(a) If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

(b) In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee succeeds to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Notes have not been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes, either in the name of any predecessor Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee.

Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee will have (or, in the case of a Person included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company will have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition. If the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, as defined in TIA Section 310(b), it must eliminate the conflict within 90 days or resign.

Section 7.10 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action will be taken or such omission will be effective. The Trustee will not be liable to the Company for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date will not be less than three Business Days after the date any Officer actually receives such application, unless any such Officer has consented in writing to any earlier date), unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee has received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 8.01 Discharge of Liability on Notes. When (a) (i) the Company delivers to the Registrar all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable, and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee or delivers to the Holders, as applicable, cash and/or shares of Common Stock (or, if applicable, Reference Property) and cash (in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or, if applicable, Reference Property Units) (solely to satisfy amounts due and owing as a result of conversions of the Notes), sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof), (b) the Company pays all other sums payable by it under this Indenture with respect to the then outstanding Notes and (c) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all of the conditions precedent to the discharge of this Indenture described in this Section 8.01 have been complied with, then, subject to Section 7.06 hereof, this Indenture will cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes and the Holders and the Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any shares of Common Stock are used in payment, the sufficiency of such shares of Common Stock shall be confirmed in writing by a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, (i) any obligation of the Company to any Holder under Article X hereof with respect to the conversion of any Note or to the Trustee under Article VII hereof with respect to compensation or indemnity, and (ii) any obligation of the Trustee with respect to money deposited with the Trustee under this Article VIII and Section 11.08 hereof will survive.

Section 8.02 Repayment to the Company. Subject to any applicable unclaimed property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, upon receiving a written request from the Company, will promptly turn over to the Company any cash, securities, including shares of Common Stock, or other property held for payment on the Notes that remains unclaimed two years after the date on which such payment was due. After the Trustee and the Paying Agent return such cash and securities, including shares of the Common Stock, to the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will have no further liability to any Holder with respect to such cash, securities, including shares of Common Stock, or other property, and any Holder entitled to the payment of such cash, securities, including shares of Common Stock, or other property under the Notes or this Indenture must look to the Company for payment as a general creditor of the Company.

If the supplemental indenture adversely affects the Trustee’s rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture, then the Trustee may, but need not, sign such supplemental indenture. In executing any such supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be provided with, and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof, will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such supplemental indenture is authorized and permitted under this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and guarantors (if any).

After an amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes pursuant to Section 9.01 or Section 9.02 hereof becomes effective, the Company will promptly deliver notice to the Trustee, which notice will briefly describe the substance of such amendment or supplement to this Indenture in reasonable detail and state the effective date of such amendment or supplement. The Company, or the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, will then promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each Holder. The failure to deliver such notice to each Holder, or any defect in such notice, will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment or supplement to this Indenture.

Section 9.05 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article IX:

(a) this Indenture will be modified in accordance therewith;

(b) such supplemental indenture will form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and

Section 9.06 Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions.

(a) Revocation. 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 Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder, or subsequent Holder, may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

(b) Special Record Dates. The Company may, but is not obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required, or permitted, to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, regardless of whether such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent will be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

(c) Binding Effect. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every applicable Holder. Any amendment or supplement will become effective in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture relating thereto, which will become effective upon the execution thereof by the Trustee.

If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on such Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company, in exchange for the Note, will issue and the Trustee will authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

Article X

CONVERSIONS

Section 10.01 Right To Convert.

(a) In General. Subject to, and upon compliance with, the provisions of this Article X, a Holder may, at its option, convert all of its Notes, or any portion of its Notes having a principal amount equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.01(b), at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2027, under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 10.01(b), and (ii) irrespective of the conditions set forth in Section 10.01(b), on or after April 15, 2027, and prior to the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, into Conversion Consideration, as provided in this Article X, based on the Conversion Rate. Notes may not be converted after the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

(b) Conditions to Conversions Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day Immediately Preceding April 15, 2027. Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2027, no Notes may be converted except under the circumstances and during the periods set forth below in this Section 10.01(b).

(i) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Sale Price Condition. Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2027, a Holder may present its Notes for conversion during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of the Common Stock for each of at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Conversion Price on such Trading Day. The Company shall determine at the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing December 31, 2021 whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Section 10.01(b)(i) and shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent in writing if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this Section 10.01(b)(i).

(ii) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Trading Price Condition. Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2027, a Holder may convert its Notes during the five consecutive Business Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period (such five consecutive Trading Day period, the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth below, for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day. The condition set forth in the preceding sentence is herein referred to as the “Trading Price Condition.”

The Trading Price shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this Section 10.01(b) and the definition of Trading Price set forth herein. The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in writing, and the Company will have no obligation to make such request (or seek bids itself) unless a Holder of at least $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes would be less than ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. At such time, the Company shall, or shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to, determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes is greater than or equal to ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If the Trading Price condition has been met, the Company will so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing. If, on any Trading Day after the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for such Trading Day, the Company will so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing.

(iii) Conversion Upon Specified Corporate Events.

(1) Certain Distributions. If, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2027, the Company elects to:

(A) issue, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the record 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 Last Reported 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

(B) 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, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,

then, in either case, (x) the Company must notify Holders at least 55 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution; and (y) once the Company has given such notice, Holders may convert their Notes at any time until the earlier of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date and the Company’s announcement, if any, that such issuance or distribution will not take place.

(2) Certain Corporate Events. If, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2027, either (i) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change occurs; (ii) a transaction or event that constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”; or (iii) the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or a transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or any other transaction, 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, then the Notes may be converted at any time from and after the effective date of the transaction or event until the earlier of (x) 35 Trading Days after the actual effective date of such transaction or event (or, if later, the date on which the Company provides notice of such transaction or event) or, if such transaction or event also constitutes a Fundamental Change, the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and (y) the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. No later than the Business Day after the date the Company publicly announces such transaction or event, the Company shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such transaction, its effective date and the related right to convert Notes.

(A) Conversion Based on Redemption. If the Company calls a Note for Redemption prior to April 15, 2027, then the Holder of such Note may surrender the Note for conversion at any time before the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.

(c) Closed Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, (i) if the Company calls the Notes for Redemption in accordance with Article XI hereof, a Holder may not convert its Notes after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Redemption Date except to the extent the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price for such Notes in accordance with Section 11.05 hereof, and (ii) if a Holder tenders a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to its Notes in accordance with Article III hereof, such Notes may not be converted except to the extent (A) such Notes are not subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice; (B) such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Article III hereof; or (C) the Company fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Notes in accordance with Section 3.08 hereof.

Section 10.02 Conversion Procedures.

(a) General. To exercise its conversion right with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the owner of such beneficial interest must (i) comply with the Applicable Procedures for converting such beneficial interest; (ii) pay any funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date that such Holder is required to pay under Section 10.02(d); and (iii) pay any taxes or duties that such Holder is required to pay under the proviso to Section 10.02(e).

To exercise its conversion right with respect to a Definitive Note, the Holder of such Note must (i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Note, or a facsimile of such conversion notice (such notice, or such facsimile, the “Conversion Notice”); (ii) deliver such signed and completed Conversion Notice and such Note to the Conversion Agent at its office; (iii) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company, Conversion Agent, Trustee or Transfer Agent may require; (iv) pay any funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date that such Holder is required to pay under Section 10.02(d); and (v) pay any taxes or duties that such Holder is required to pay under the proviso to Section 10.02(e).

The first Business Day on which a Holder satisfies the foregoing requirements with respect to a Note and on which conversion of such Note is not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture will be the “Conversion Date” for such Note.

The conversion of any Note will be deemed to occur at the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such Note, and any converted Note or portion thereof will cease to be outstanding upon conversion.

(b) Holder of Record. If a Holder surrenders the entire principal amount of a Note for conversion, such Person will no longer be the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such Note.

The person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion of any Note will become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion, in the case of Physical Settlement, or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, in the case of Combination Settlement.

(c) Conversions in Part. If a Holder surrenders only a portion of the principal amount of a Definitive Note for conversion, promptly after the Conversion Date for such portion, the Company will, in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof, execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee will, upon receipt of a Company Order and the documents required by Sections 12.02 and 12.03 hereof, in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof, authenticate and deliver to such Holder a new Definitive Note in an authorized denomination, having a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the unconverted portion of the Definitive Note surrendered for conversion and bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

Upon the conversion of any beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Conversion Agent will promptly request that the Trustee make a notation on the “Schedule of Increases and Decreases of Global Note” of such Global Note to reduce the principal amount represented by such Global Note by the principal amount of the converted beneficial interest. If all of the beneficial interests in a Global Note are so converted, such Global Note will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause such Global Note to be cancelled in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

(d) Reimbursement of Interest upon Conversion. If a Holder converts a Note after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date, but prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, then (x) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date shall be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion, to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that has accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date; and (y) the Holder of such Note must, upon surrender of such Note for conversion, accompany such Note with an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that will be payable on such Note on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that a Holder need not make such payment (A) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (B) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date and the Holder converts its Note after the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Open of Business on such Interest Payment Date; (C) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date and such Holder surrenders such Note for conversion after such Regular Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on such Interest Payment Date; or (D) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date described in clause (B) above and any Redemption Date described in clause (C) above shall receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Regular Record Date.

(e) Taxes and Duties. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of the Common Stock upon the conversion; provided, however, that if any tax is due because the converting Holder requested that shares of Common Stock be issued in a name other than its own, such Holder will pay such tax and the Conversion Agent, until having received a sum sufficient to pay such tax, may refuse to deliver any certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than that of such Holder.

(f) Notices. Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Note, the Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible upon receipt of a notice from the Depositary, in the case of a Global Note, or a Holder, in the case of a Definitive Note, and in no event later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such receipt, deliver to the Company and the Trustee notice that a Conversion Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date and the names of the Holders that converted Notes on such Conversion Date.

Section 10.03 Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Conversion Obligation.

(i) Settlement Method. Subject to Section 10.03(a)(i)(8), the Company shall settle such conversion by paying or delivering, as applicable and as provided in this Article X, either (A) solely cash (a “Cash Settlement”); (B) shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 10.03(a)(ii)(1) (a “Physical Settlement”); or (C) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 10.03(a)(ii)(3) (a “Combination Settlement”). The Company shall have the right to elect the Settlement Method applicable to any conversion of a Note; provided, however, that:

(1) all conversions of Notes whose Conversion Date occurs on or after April 15, 2027 will be settled using the same Settlement Method, and the Company shall, so long as the Conversion Date does not occur during the Redemption Period, send written notice of such Settlement Method to Holders, through the Trustee, no later than the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding April 15, 2027;

(2) all conversions of Notes whose Conversion Date occurs during the Redemption Period will be settled using the same Settlement Method, and the Company shall send written notice of such Settlement Method to Holders, through the Trustee, concurrently with delivery of the relevant Redemption Notice;

(3) the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions of Notes whose Conversion Dates occur on the same day (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be obligated to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions of Notes whose Conversion Dates occur on different days, except as provided in Section 10.03(a)(i)(1) and Section 10.03(a)(i)(2) above);

(4) if the Company elects a Settlement Method with respect to the conversion of any Note whose Conversion Date occurs before April 15, 2027, the Company shall send written notice of such Settlement Method to the Holder of such Note, through the Trustee, no later no later than the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following such Conversion Date;

(5) if the Company has not previously made an irrevocable election of a Settlement Method pursuant to Section 10.03(a)(i)(8) and does not timely elect a Settlement Method with respect to the conversion of a Note, then the Company will be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of such Note equal to $1,000 (the “Default Settlement Method”);

(6) if the Company timely elects Combination Settlement with respect to the conversion of a Note or elects to change the Default Settlement Method or irrevocably fix the Settlement Method, in either case, to Combination Settlement, but does not timely notify the Holder of such Note of the Specified Dollar Amount, then the Specified Dollar Amount for such conversion will be deemed to be $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of such Note;

(7) the Settlement Method shall be subject to clause (II) of Section 10.08(a);

(8) by written notice to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Company may, prior to April 15, 2027, (A) change the Default Settlement Method to any Settlement Method the Company is then permitted to elect in accordance with the Indenture or (B) irrevocably fix the Settlement Method to any Settlement Method that the Company is then permitted to elect in accordance with the Indenture (including Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of the notes of $1,000 or with an ability to continue to set the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes at or above any specific amount set forth in such election notice), in each case, that will apply for all Conversion Dates occurring subsequent to delivery of such notice. If the Company changes the Default Settlement Method or elects to irrevocably fix the Settlement Method, in either case, to Combination Settlement with an ability to continue to set the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes at or above a specified amount, the Company shall, after the date of such change or election, as the case may be, inform Holders converting their Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such Specified Dollar Amount in respect of the relevant conversion or conversions no later than the relevant deadline for electing a Settlement Method specified in Section 10.03(a)(i)(1) or Section 10.03(a)(i)(2) above, as applicable, for such conversion or conversions, or, if the Company does not timely inform the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the Specified Dollar Amount, such Specified Dollar Amount shall be the specific amount set forth in the change or election notice or, if no specific amount was set forth in the change or election notice, such Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. If the Company changes the Default Settlement Method or irrevocably fixes the Settlement Method, then the Company shall concurrently either post the Default Settlement Method or fixed Settlement Method, as applicable, on the Company’s website or disclose the same in a press release or a current report on Form 8-K (or any successor form) that is furnished to the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Indenture, no such change in the Default Settlement Method or irrevocable election will affect any Settlement Method theretofore elected (or deemed to be elected) with respect to any Note pursuant to the provisions described in this Section 10.03. For the avoidance of doubt, such a change in Default Settlement Method or such an irrevocable election, if made, will be effective without the need to amend this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, including pursuant to Article IX hereof. However, the Company may nonetheless choose to execute such an amendment at its option.

(ii) Conversion Consideration. The type and amount of consideration (the “Conversion Consideration”) due in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of a Note to be converted shall be as follows:

(1) if Physical Settlement applies to such conversion, (I) a whole number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such conversion (which, if not a whole number, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number); and (II) if such Conversion Rate is not a whole number, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Daily VWAP on such Conversion Date (or if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day) and (y) the fractional portion of such Conversion Rate;

(2) if Cash Settlement applies to such conversion, cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 50 consecutive Trading Days in the Observation Period for such conversion; or

(3) if Combination Settlement applies to such conversion, a settlement amount equal to (I) the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 50 consecutive Trading Days in the Observation Period for such conversion (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall consist of a number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each of the Trading Days in such Observation Period (which, if such sum is not a whole number, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number) and cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Cash Amounts for each of the Trading Days in such Observation Period); and (II) if the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each of the Trading Days in such Observation Period is not a whole number, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of such Observation Period and (y) the fractional portion of such sum.

With respect to any conversion of Notes to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies, the Company shall determine the Conversion Consideration due thereupon promptly following the last day of the applicable Observation Period and shall promptly thereafter notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the same and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have any responsibility for any such determination.

(iii) Delivery of Conversion Consideration. Except as set forth in Sections 10.05, 10.07 and 10.08 hereof, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of any Note to the Holder thereof as follows: (i) if Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to such conversion, on the second (2^nd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion; and (ii) if Physical Settlement applies to such conversion, on the second (2^nd) Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for such conversion.

(b) Conversion of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder. If a Holder converts more than one Note on a single Conversion Date, the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will be computed based on the total principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date by such Holder.

(c) Settlement of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, and the Company’s delivery of the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion will be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of such Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding the Conversion Date; provided, however, that if a Holder converts a Note after a Regular Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will still be obligated to pay the interest due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date. As a result, except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to a converted Note will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. In addition, if both cash and shares of the Common Stock are delivered upon the conversion of a Note, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the amount of cash so delivered.

Section 10.04 Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion.

(a) Prior to issuing of any shares of Common Stock under this Article X, and from time to time thereafter as may be necessary, the Company will reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the conversion of all then-outstanding Notes under Physical Settlement.

(b) Any shares of Common Stock delivered upon the conversion of the Notes will be newly issued shares or treasury shares, duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder or other Person to whom such shares of Common Stock will be delivered). In addition, the Company will endeavor to comply promptly with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes; provided that the Company will not be obligated to register the offer and sale of such Common Stock under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws. The Company will also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note to be listed on whatever stock exchange(s) the Common Stock is listed on the date the converting Holder becomes a record holder of such Common Stock.

Section 10.05 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Company will adjust the Conversion Rate from time to time as described in this Section 10.05, except that the Company will not make an adjustment to the Conversion Rate if each Holder participates (other than in a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in the relevant transaction described in this Section 10.05 without having to convert its Notes and as if it held number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the applicable record date, Effective Date or expiration date, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder (express in thousands) on such date, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

(a) Stock Dividends and Share Splits. If the Company exclusively issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the outstanding Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split of the Common Stock or a share combination of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where

CR₀= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend 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 applicable;

CR₁= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the Open of Business on such Effective Date;

OS₀= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as applicable, prior to giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination; and

OS₁ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as applicable, after, and solely as a result of, giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

If any dividend, distribution, share split or share combination of the type described in this Section 10.05(a) is declared, but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such share split or share combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced.

(b) Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company issues, to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock, rights, options or warrants entitling such holders, for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the record date of such issuance, to subscribe for, or purchase, shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported 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, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where

CR₀ =

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

CR₁ =

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

OS₀ =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend 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 quotient of (i) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, over (ii) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, including because the issued rights, options or warrants were not exercised, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance 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 issued, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 10.05(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for, or purchase, shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for an issuance, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(i) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(1) dividends, distributions or issuances for which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 10.05(a) hereof or Section 10.05(b) hereof, as applicable;

(2) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 10.05(d) hereof; and

(3) Spin-Offs for which the provisions set forth in Section 10.05(c)(ii) hereof will apply,

then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where

CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₁ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP₀ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV =

the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend 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, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held on the record date for the distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property, rights, options or warrants or other securities 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 record date for such distribution.

If such distribution is not so paid or made, or if any rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration date, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(ii) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a national securities exchange or a reasonably comparable non-U.S. equivalent (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any committee thereof)) (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where

CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

CR₁ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

FMV₀ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were the Common Stock) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP₀ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.05(c)(ii) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect as of immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. The Company shall delay the settlement of any conversion of Notes where the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or any Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during the Valuation Period until the second Business Day after the last day of the Valuation Period. If any distribution of the type described in this Section 10.05(c)(ii) is declared but not so made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, 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 distribution had not been declared.

For the purposes of this Section 10.05(c) and subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10.05, any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.05(c) applies and which dividend or distribution also includes one or both of:

(1) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.05(a) hereof applies (a “Clause A Distribution”); or

(2) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 10.05(b) hereof applies (a “Clause B Distribution”)

(any such distribution, a “Multi-Clause Distribution”), then (i) the portion of such Multi-Clause Distribution that is not a Clause A Distribution or a Clause B Distribution will be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.05(c) applies (a “Clause C Distribution”), and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 10.05(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution will be made without considering any shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable as part of the portion of such Multi-Clause Distribution that is a Clause A Distribution or a Clause B Distribution, as applicable, (ii) the portion of such Multi-Clause Distribution that is a Clause B Distribution, if any, will be deemed to be distributed immediately following the Clause C Distribution, and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.05(b) hereof with respect to such Clause B Distribution will be made, with any shares of Common Stock issuable as part of the portion of such Multi-Clause Distribution that is a Clause C Distribution deemed to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” for the purposes of making such adjustment and (iii) the portion of such Multi-Clause Distribution that is a Clause A Distribution, if any, will be deemed to be distributed immediately following the Clause B Distribution or Clause C Distribution, as the case may be, and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.05(a) hereof with respect to such Clause A Distribution will be made, with any shares of Common Stock issuable as part of the portion of such Multi-Clause Distribution that is either a Clause C Distribution or a Clause B Distribution deemed to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” for the purposes of making such adjustment.

(d) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where

CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR₁ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP₀ = the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

C =

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held on the record date for such cash dividend or distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount of cash 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 such record date for such cash dividend or distribution. If any such dividend or distribution is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(e) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where

CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time;

CR₁ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;

AC =

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

OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time (the “Expiration Time”) on the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS₁ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP₁ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period (the “Averaging Period”) commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.05(e) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Averaging Period but will be given effect as of immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. The Company shall delay the settlement of any conversion of Notes where the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or any Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during the Averaging Period until the second (2^nd) Business Day after the last day of the Averaging Period.

(f) Special Settlement Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Holder converts a Note and:

(i) Combination Settlement is applicable to such Note and shares of Common Stock are deliverable to settle the Daily Share Amount for a given Trading Day within the Observation Period applicable to such Note;

(ii) any distribution, transaction or event described in Sections 10.05(a) through (e) hereof has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate on such Trading Day; and

(iii) the shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of such Trading Day are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because such shares of Common Stock were not held on a related Record Date or otherwise),

then the Company will adjust the number of shares of Common Stock delivered in respect of the relevant Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.

If a Holder converts a Note and:

(i) Physical Settlement is applicable to such Note;

(ii) any distribution or transaction described in Sections 10.05(a) through (e) hereof has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate on a given Conversion Date; and

(iii) the shares of Common Stock deliverable on settlement of the related conversion are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because such shares of Common Stock were not held on a related Record Date or otherwise),

then the Company will adjust the number of shares of Common Stock delivered in respect of the relevant Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described above, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date pursuant to Section 10.03 based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the foregoing Conversion Rate adjustment provisions, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(g) Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article X, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Article X will cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so adjusted, without duplication.

(h) Adjustments Not Yet Effective. If a Holder converts a Note and, as of the Conversion Date for such Note, any distribution or transaction that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Sections 10.05(a) through (e) hereof has occurred but has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate and the shares of Common Stock, if any, that such Holder will receive upon settlement of its converted Note are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because they were not held on a related record date or otherwise), then the Company will adjust the number of shares of Common Stock that it delivers to such Holder to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.

(i) Conversion Rate Adjustments where Converting Holders Participate in the Relevant Dividend, Distribution or other Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Notes, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 10.05, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated, on such record date, as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such conversion based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will not be made for such converting holder. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder were, as of such record date, the record owner of such shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and will participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(j) Stockholder Rights Plans. If the Company adopts a rights plan and such rights plan is in effect when a Holder converts a Note, the Company will deliver to such Holder, in addition to any shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such Holder upon conversion of such Note, any rights that, under the rights plan, would be applicable to a share of Common Stock, unless prior to the Conversion Date for such Note, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 10.05(c)(i) as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had distributed to all holders of the Common Stock shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(k) Other Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the calculation of the Last Reported Sale Price, Daily VWAP or a function thereof over a period of multiple days (including any Observation Period and the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Company will make appropriate adjustments to the Last Reported Sale Price or such function thereof to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend date, Effective Date or expiration date of the event occurs, at any time during such period.

(l) Restrictions on Adjustments. Except as a result of a reverse share split, share combination subject to Section 10.05(a), and except for readjustments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10.05(a), readjustments pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 10.05(b), readjustments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10.05(c)(i), readjustments pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 10.05(c)(ii) and readjustments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10.05(d), in no event will the Conversion Rate be adjusted downward pursuant to Sections 10.05(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) hereof.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares 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 shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding clause and outstanding as of the date of the Issue Date;

(iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(v) for accrued and unpaid interest.

(m) Deferral of Adjustments. The Company may defer any adjustment to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would increase or decrease the Conversion Rate by at least 1% of the Conversion Rate in effect at the time the Company would otherwise be required to make such adjustment; provided, however, that if the Company defers an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.05(m), then the Company must carry forward such adjustment and take it into account in any future adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) on each Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or on each Trading Day of any Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement), (ii) on the occurrence of any Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (iii) on every one-year anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company will give effect to all Conversion Rate adjustments that have otherwise been deferred pursuant to this Section 10.05(m), and such adjustments will no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment.

(n) Miscellaneous.

(i) Certain Definitions.

(1) For purposes of this Section 10.05, (1) the number of shares outstanding at any time will include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock, but, (2) so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, will not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(2) For purposes of this Section 10.05, the term “Effective Date” will mean 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.

(3) For purposes of this Section 10.05, the term “Ex-Dividend Date” will mean the first date on which the shares of the Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive the issuance, dividend or distribution in question.

(ii) Notices. Upon the public announcement of any event that will require the Company to make an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.05, the Company will deliver to each Holder a written notice, which notice will include (i) a brief description of such event, (ii) the date on which the Company anticipates that such event will occur, (iii) the date on which the Company anticipates that the adjustment to the Conversion Rate will become effective, and (iv) if any record date, expiration date, Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date is applicable to such event, such record date, expiration date, Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date. Neither the failure to give such notice, nor any defect therein, will affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company.

Whenever the Company adjusts the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.05, the Company will promptly deliver to each Holder a written notice, which notice will include (i) a brief description of the event requiring adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.05, (ii) the effective time of such adjustment, (iii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment is made and (iv) a schedule explaining, in reasonable detail, how the Company calculated such adjustment. On the same day the Company delivers such notice to each Holder, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate that includes all of the information contained in such notice, which Officers’ Certificate each of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent may treat as conclusive evidence that the adjustment specified in such Officers’ Certificate is correct and will be in effect as of the effective time specified in such Officers’ Certificate. The failure to deliver such notice will not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

Section 10.06 Voluntary Adjustments.

(a) Best Interest Increases. Subject to the limitations of Section 10.10 hereof, the Company may, from time to time, to the extent permitted by law, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is in the best interest of the Company, (ii) such increase is in effect for a period of at least 20 Business Days, and (iii) during such period, such increase is irrevocable.

(b) Tax-Related Increases. Subject to the limitations of Section 10.10 hereof, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate if the Board of Directors determines that such increase is advisable to avoid, or diminish, any U.S. federal income tax imposed on holders of the Common Stock or rights to purchase the Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(c) Notices. Whenever the Board of Directors determines that the Company will increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.06, the Company will mail to each Holder notice of such increase at least 15 Business Days before such increase will take effect, which notice will state the increase to be made and the period during which such increase will be in effect.

Section 10.07 Adjustments Upon Certain Fundamental Changes.

(a) General. If (i) a Fundamental Change (determined after giving effect to the paragraph immediately following clause (d) of the definition thereof, but without regard to the exclusion in clause (b)(ii) of the definition thereof) occurs or (ii) the Company calls the Notes for redemption pursuant to Article XI (either such event, a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”), and a Holder converts its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will, in the circumstances described in this Section 10.07, increase the Conversion Rate for such Notes by the number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in this Section 10.07. For purposes of this Section 10.07, a conversion of Notes will be deemed to be “in connection with”:

(i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (i) of the definition of “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” if (A) for Conversion Dates prior to April 15, 2027, the applicable Conversion Date occurs during the period when the Notes are convertible on account of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii)(2) and (B) for Conversion Dates on or after April 15, 2027 if the applicable Conversion Date occurs during the period from, and including, the effective date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the exclusion in clause (b)(ii) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

(ii) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (ii) of the definition of “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” if the Conversion Notice for such Notes is received by the Conversion Agent during the period beginning on, and including, the Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.

No later than two Business Days immediately after the effective date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (i) of the definition of “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” contained in this Section 10.07, the Company will notify the Holders of such effective date and issue a press release announcing such effective date.

(b) Determination of Additional Shares. The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased if a Holder converts a Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change will be determined by reference to the table below, and will be based on the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change. For any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date” will mean, (i) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is of the type described in clause (i) of the definition of Make-Whole Fundamental Change contained in Section 10.07(a) hereof, the date on which such Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective, and (ii) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition of Make-Whole Fundamental Change contained in Section 10.07(a) hereof, the applicable Redemption Notice Date.

(c) Adjustment of Stock Prices and Additional Shares. The Stock Prices set forth in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table below will be adjusted on each date on which the Conversion Rate must be adjusted pursuant to Section 10.05. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the share price adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the adjustment. The numbers of Additional Shares set forth in the table below will be adjusted in the same manner, at the same time and for the same events for which the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof.

(d) Additional Shares Table. The following table sets forth hypothetical Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates, Stock Prices and the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for a Holder that converts a Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change having such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and Stock Price.

(e) Use of Additional Shares Table. If the Stock Price and/or Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date for a Make-Whole Fundamental Change are not set forth in the table above, then:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased for a Holder that converts a Note in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices listed in the table and the earlier and later Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates listed in the table, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable;

(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $500.00, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table, no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $56.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table, no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased as a result of this Section 10.07 to exceed 17.8571 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner, at the same time and for the same events for which the Conversion Rate must be adjusted as set forth in Section 10.05 hereof.

(f) Settlement on Conversion. If a Holder converts a Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will settle such conversion by delivering Conversion Consideration in accordance with Section 10.03 hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.03 hereof, if a Holder converts a Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (ii) of the definition of Fundamental Change in which the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in consideration for their shares of Common Stock, the Company will settle such conversion by delivering to such Holder, on the second Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for such Note, an amount of cash, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Note converted, equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate on the Conversion Date applicable to such Note (including any Additional Shares added to such Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.07) and (ii) the Stock Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 10.08 Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

(a) General. If any of the following events occur:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value);

(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

and, in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (such stock, other securities, other property or assets, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such transaction, a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Notes, (I) at the effective time of such transaction, the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Notes, and the conditions to any such conversion, will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Article X were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (II) if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then the Company will be deemed to elect Cash Settlement in respect of all conversions whose Conversion Date occurs on or after the effective date of the Merger Event and shall pay the cash due upon such conversions no later than the second (2^nd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date. For these purposes, the Daily VWAP or Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof). Following such transaction or event, the Company shall continue to have the right to settle conversions of the Notes by paying cash, delivering Reference Property or paying and delivering, as the case may be, a combination of cash and Reference Property, at the Company’s election, subject to certain limitations set forth in Section 10.03 hereof. An event requiring a change to the Conversion Consideration as provided in the immediately preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Merger Event,” and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if other than the Company) of such Merger Event is herein referred to as the “Merger Successor Corporation.” At or before the effective date of such Merger Event, the Company and such Merger Successor Corporation will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.03 hereof, which supplemental indenture will (i) comply with the TIA as in force on the date such supplemental indenture is executed (if this Indenture is then qualified under the TIA and such supplemental indenture is required by law to so comply); (ii) provide for subsequent conversions of Notes in the manner set forth in the first sentence of this Section 10.08(a); and (iii) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.05 in a manner that would have an economic effect on the Holders as nearly equivalent as practicable to the economic effect the adjustments provided by Section 10.05 hereof would have had on the Holders but for such Merger Event.

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average, per share of Common Stock, of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election (or, if no holders of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock). The Company shall notify Holders of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

If the Reference Property Unit for a Merger Event includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Merger Successor Corporation for such Merger Event, then such other company will also execute such supplemental indenture and such supplemental indenture will contain whatever additional provisions the Board of Directors considers to be reasonably necessary to protect the Holders and to calculate the value of a Reference Property Unit.

(b) Notices.

(i) As soon as practicable upon learning the anticipated or actual effective date of any Merger Event, the Company will deliver written notice of such Merger Event to each Holder and the Trustee. Such notice will include:

(1) a brief description of such Merger Event;

(2) the Conversion Rate in effect on the date the Company delivers such notice;

(3) the anticipated effective date for the Merger Event;

(4) that, on and after the effective date for the Merger Event, the Notes will be convertible into Reference Property Units and cash in lieu of fractional Reference Property Units; and

(5) the composition of the Reference Property Unit for such Merger Event.

(ii) As promptly as practicable after executing a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 10.08(a) hereof, the Company will:

(1) file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly describing the reasons therefor, the composition of the Reference Property Unit for such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent under this Indenture to such Merger Event have been complied with; and

(2) cause to be sent to each Holder a notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture and the composition of the Reference Property Unit for such Merger Event; provided, that the failure to deliver such notice to any Holder will not affect the validity or legality of such supplemental indenture.

(c) Successive Merger Events. If more than one Merger Event occurs, this Section 10.08 will apply successively to each Merger Event.

(d) Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 10.08.

Section 10.09 No Responsibility of Trustee or Conversion Agent. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent will not have any duty or responsibility to or any Holder to either calculate the Conversion Price or determine whether any facts exist that require an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent will be responsible for any failure of the Company to deliver the Conversion Consideration due upon the surrender of any Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article X. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent will be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 10.08 hereof, including with respect to the calculation of the amount of Conversion Consideration receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any Merger Event, and each, subject to the provisions of Article VII, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and will be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company will be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 10.1 has occurred which makes the Notes eligible for conversion until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and Conversion Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating that such event has occurred, on which Officers’ Certificate the Trustee and Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event. Neither the Trustee nor any Security Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (of the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any other securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent makes any representation with respect thereto.

Section 10.10 NYSE Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Notes, in the event of an increase in the Conversion Rate above that which would result in the Notes, in the aggregate, becoming convertible into shares in excess of the limitations imposed by the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange, the Company will, at its option, either obtain stockholder approval of such issuances or deliver cash in lieu of any shares otherwise deliverable upon conversions in excess of such limitations based on the Last Reported Sale Price of its Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date, in the case of Physical Settlement, or on the Daily VWAP of its Common Stock on each Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period in respect of which, in lieu of delivering shares of its Common Stock, the Company delivers cash pursuant to this Section 10.10, in the case of Combination Settlement.

Article XI

REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY

Section 11.01 No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

Section 11.02 Right To Redeem the Notes.

(a) General. Prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may not redeem the Notes. On or after October 15, 2024, and prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may redeem (a “Redemption”) all, but not less than all, of the Notes on the Redemption Date for an amount of cash equal to the Redemption Price for such Redemption Date if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price in effect on each of at least 20 Trading Days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company delivers the Redemption Notice for such redemption pursuant to Section 11.03 hereof.

(b) The “Redemption Price” means, for any Notes to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to, but excluding, such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if a Redemption Date occurs after a Regular Record Date, but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, the Redemption Price for any Notes to be redeemed will equal 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be payable, on such Interest Payment Date, to the Holder of such Notes at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date.

(c) The “Redemption Date” means, for any redemption, the date specified as such on the Redemption Notice for such redemption, which date must be a Business Day and must be not less than 45 Scheduled Trading Days, nor more than 70 Scheduled Trading Days, immediately following the date on which the Company delivers such Redemption Notice.

Section 11.03 Redemption Notice. At least 45 Scheduled Trading Days but not more than 70 Scheduled Trading Days prior to any Redemption Date, the Company will send to each Holder (and to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, as required by applicable law) a written notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice,” and the date of such sending, the “Redemption Notice Date”) and, substantially contemporaneously therewith, the Company will issue a press release announcing such redemption.

For any redemption, the Redemption Notice corresponding to such redemption will specify:

(a) briefly, a description of the Company’s redemption right under this Indenture;

(b) the Redemption Price for such Redemption Date (for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes);

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

(e) that Notes called for redemption may be converted at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;

(f) the Conversion Rate in effect on the Redemption Notice Date for such redemption and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Notice Date;

(g) any Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased pursuant to Section 10.07 hereof for a Holder that converts a Note “in connection with” the Company’s election to redeem the Notes;

(h) that Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date to collect the Redemption Price;

(i) that, unless the Company defaults in paying the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, interest, if any, on a Note will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

(j) the CUSIP and ISIN number(s) of the Notes.

On any Redemption Notice Date, the Company will also furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, which Officers’ Certificate will set forth the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and include a copy of the Redemption Notice delivered by the Company on such Redemption Notice Date.

Section 11.04 Effect of Redemption Notice. After the Company has delivered a Redemption Notice, each Holder will have the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price for its Notes on the later of (i) the Redemption Date and (ii)(a) if the Notes are Definitive Notes, delivery of its Notes to the Paying Agent or (b) if the Notes are Global Notes, compliance with the Applicable Procedures relating to the redemption and delivery of the beneficial interests to be redeemed to the Paying Agent; provided, however, that, until the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Redemption Date, Holders may convert their Notes, regardless of whether they have been delivered to the Paying Agent for redemption, by complying with the requirements for conversion set forth in Article X.

Section 11.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, will segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.08 hereof) an amount of immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 11.06 Effect of Deposit. If, as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company, in accordance with Section 11.05 hereof, has deposited with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price for every Note validly delivered in accordance with Section 11.04 hereof (and not converted before such Redemption Date), then, at the Close of Business on such Redemption Date:

(a) every Note outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Redemption Date will cease to be outstanding and interest, if any, on such Notes will cease to accrue (regardless of whether such Notes were delivered to the Paying Agent or book-entry transfer has been made, as applicable), except to the extent provided in the proviso to Section 11.02(b); and

(b) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes with respect to such Notes (other than the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price or, in the case of Notes surrendered for conversion in accordance with Article X hereof, the right to receive the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of such Notes, and other than as provided in the proviso to Section 11.02(b)) will terminate.

Section 11.07 Covenant Not to Redeem Notes Upon Certain Events of Default.

(a) General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI, the Company will not redeem any Notes under this Article XI if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded on, or prior to, the Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company that would be cured by the Company’s payment of the Redemption Price for such Notes).

(b) Return of Notes. If a Holder delivers a Note for redemption pursuant to Section 11.04 and, on the Redemption Date, pursuant to this Section 11.07, the Company is not permitted to redeem such Note, the Paying Agent will (i) if such Note is a Definitive Note, return such Note to such Holder, and (ii) if such Note is held in book-entry form, in compliance with the Applicable Procedures, deem to be cancelled any instructions for book-entry transfer of such Note.

Section 11.08 Repayment to the Company. Subject to any applicable property laws, if, six months after the Redemption Date, any cash held by the Paying Agent remains unclaimed, the Paying Agent will promptly return such cash to the Company; provided, however, that, to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 11.05 exceeds the aggregate Redemption Price of every Note outstanding, then as soon as practicable following the Redemption Date, the Trustee will return such excess to the Company.

Failure to mail or send a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication is mailed or sent in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not received by the addressee.

If the Company mails or sends a notice or communication to the Holders, it will, at the same time, mail a copy to the Trustee and each of the Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

If the Company is required under this Indenture to give a notice to the Holders, in lieu of delivering such notice to the Holders, the Company may deliver such notice to the Trustee and request that the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, to deliver such notice to the Holders on or prior to the date on which the Company would otherwise have been required to deliver such notice to the Holders. In such a case, the Company will also cause the Trustee to deliver a copy of the notice to each of the Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent at the same time it sends the notice to the Holders.

If a notice or communication is mailed or delivered in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it, except in the case of notices or communications given to the Trustee, which shall be effective only upon actual receipt by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.

The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 12.02 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Trustee:

(a) an Officers’ Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent relating to the proposed action (subject to reasonable assumptions and exclusions) have been complied with.

Section 12.03 Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition (except for such Officers’ Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof) provided for in this Indenture will include:

(a) a statement that each Person making such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel has read such covenant or condition;

(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel are based;

(c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such Person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such Person to express an informed opinion to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(d) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, such covenant or condition has been complied with.

Section 12.04 Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes will be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 12.05 Rules by Trustee. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by, or a meeting of, Holders.

Section 12.06 Governing Law and Waiver of Jury Trial. THE INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 12.07 No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder will waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release will be part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

Section 12.08 Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Notes and this Indenture. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock or any other security, the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Conversion Values, accrued interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion Rate in effect on any Conversion Date.

The Company will make all calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Trustee and Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification and shall have no responsibility for making any calculations or any liability for such calculations. If any Holder requests from the Trustee a copy of such schedule, the Trustee will promptly forward a copy of such schedule to such Holder at the sole cost and expense of the Company.

All calculations will be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be, with 5/100,000ths rounded upward.

Section 12.10 Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy will be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Supplemental Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF or other electronically imaged (such as DocuSign or Adobe Sign) signature transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Supplemental Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF or other electronically imaged (such as DocuSign or Adobe Sign) signature transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

Signatures of the parties hereto that are executed by manual signatures that are scanned, photocopied or faxed or by other electronic signing created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by digital signing (such as Adobe Sign), in each case that is approved by the Trustee, shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original.

Anything in this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Supplemental Indenture, any Note and any document to be signed in connection with the Supplemental Indenture or any Note (including any Note, any Trustee’s certificate of authentication and amendments, supplements, waivers, consents and other modifications, Officers’ Certificates, Company Orders and Opinions of Counsel and other issuance, authentication and delivery documents) or the transactions contemplated hereby may be signed by manual signatures that are scanned, photocopied or faxed or other electronic signatures created on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign) or by digital signature (such as Adobe Sign), in each case that is approved by the Trustee, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Trustee, and the keeping of records in electronic form, are hereby authorized, and each shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature in ink or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be.

The table of contents and headings of the articles and sections of this Supplemental Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof, and will not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 12.12 Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

The Company: (a) agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, may be instituted in any U.S. state or federal court with applicable subject matter jurisdiction sitting in The City of New York, New York; (b) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and any claim that any suit, action or proceeding in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum; and (c) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding.

Section 12.14 Legal Holidays. If the Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Redemption Date or Conversion Date is not a Business Day, then any action to be taken on such date need not be taken on such date, but may be taken on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if taken on such date, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such date.

Section 12.15 No Security Interest Created. Except as provided in Section 7.06 or 9.01(b) hereof, nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, will be construed to constitute a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as now or hereafter enacted and in effect, in any jurisdiction.

Section 12.16 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, will give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar, and their successors hereunder, and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 12.17 U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee.

PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of PAR Technology Corporation (the “Company”), designated as its 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of the Issue Date (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the Issue Date (the “Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (“Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture, and the terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those incorporated into the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture will govern and control.

Interest.

This Note will bear interest at a rate equal to 1.50% per annum. Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or provided for, the Issue Date. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2022. Each payment of cash interest on this Note will include interest accrued for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date) through, and including, the day before the applicable Interest Payment Date.

Pursuant to Section 6.04 of the Supplemental Indenture, in certain circumstances, the Company will pay Additional Interest on this Note.

Pursuant to Section 2.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, in certain circumstances, the Company will pay Default Interest on Defaulted Amounts with respect to this Note.

Interest on Definitive Notes will be made by check or by wire transfer, as described in Section 2.05 of the Supplemental Indenture, except that any payment of Interest due on the Maturity Date will be made at the office or agency designated by the Company for such purpose.

All payments on this Note will be made in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. will act as the Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar; provided, that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar in the continental United States. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.

Repurchase By the Company at the Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change.

At the option of the Holder, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, each Holder will have the right, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of its Notes, or any portion of its Notes having a principal amount equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, at a Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date occurs after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, in which case the Company will pay the accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, on such Interest Payment Date, to the Holder of such Notes as of the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall not include such accrued and unpaid interest. To exercise its purchase right, a Holder must comply with the procedures set forth in Article III of the Supplemental Indenture.

Redemption at the Option of the Company.

Prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may not redeem the Notes. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, on or after October 15, 2024, and prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price in effect on each of at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Company delivers the Redemption Notice for such redemption. Any Redemption Date must be at least 45, but not more than 70, Scheduled Trading Days after the date on which the Company delivers the applicable Redemption Notice. The Redemption Price that the Company will pay for any Notes that it redeems will equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding, the Redemption Date, unless the Redemption Date occurs after a Regular Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, in which case the Redemption Price for any Notes to be redeemed will equal 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be payable, on such Interest Payment Date, to the Holder of such Notes at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date.

Conversion.

Subject to, and upon compliance with, the provisions of Article X of the Supplemental Indenture, a Holder may, at its option, convert all of its Notes, or any portion of its Notes having a principal amount equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.01(b) of the Supplemental Indenture, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2027, under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 10.01(b) of the Supplemental Indenture, and (ii) irrespective of the conditions set forth in Section 10.01(b) of the Supplemental Indenture, on or after April 15, 2027, and prior to the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, into Conversion Consideration, as provided in Article X of the Supplemental Indenture, based on the Conversion Rate. Notes may not be converted after the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

A-5

Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and in integral multiples thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Notes in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Note to be repurchased in part, the portion of the Note not to be repurchased), after the Company has delivered a Notice of Redemption (except to the extent that Notes are converted or the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price in accordance with Article XI of the Supplemental Indenture) or in respect of which a Conversion Notice has been given (except, in the case of a Note to be converted in part, the portion of the Note not to be converted).

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture permits the Indenture and the Notes to be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. In certain circumstances, the Company and the Trustee may also amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture permits the waiver of certain Events of Default or the noncompliance with certain provisions of the Indenture and of the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Defaults and Remedies.

Subject to the immediately following paragraph, if an Event of Default specified in the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, by delivering a written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by delivering a written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by delivering notice to the Company. In addition, certain specified Events of Default will cause the Notes to become immediately due and payable without the Trustee or Holders taking any action.

If the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting obligations under Section 4.02 of the Supplemental Indenture will consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the principal amount of the Notes as specified in Section 6.04(a) of the Supplemental Indenture.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture. Subject to certain exceptions, the Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Event of Default or Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

10.

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Registrar will keep a register for the recordation of, and will record, the name and address of the Holders of this Note. Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms of the Indenture may be treated as the Holder hereof for all purposes.

A-6

11.

Unclaimed Money or Notes.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent will return to the Company upon written request any money or securities held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes that remain unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

12.

Trustee Dealings with the Company.

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee.

13.

Calculations in Respect of Notes.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Notes and the Indenture. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock or any other security, the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Conversion Values, accrued interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion Rate in effect on any Conversion Date.

The Company will make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders.

14.

No Recourse Against Others.

A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

15.

17.

GOVERNING LAW.

THE INDENTURE AND THE NOTES WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND EACH HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
