(a) a number of Shares per $1,000 principal amount of such Exchanged Notes equal to 12.2589; plus

(b) an additional number of Shares per $1,000 principal amount of such Exchanged Notes equal to the quotient of (i) $301.90 divided by (ii) the average of the Daily VWAPs (as defined below) over the Reference Period (as defined below) (the aggregate number of Shares under clause (a) and (b), the “Exchange Consideration”);

For the avoidance of doubt, no cash will be paid to any Exchanging Investor in respect of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Notes.

“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which either the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the XXXXX reporting system is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed.

The “Daily VWAP” shall be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session trading hours of Nasdaq (as defined below).

“Last Reported Sale Price” of the Common Stock on any date means the closing sale price per share (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on that date as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded.

“Market Disruption Event” means (a) a failure by the primary U.S. national or regional securities exchange or market on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading to open for trading during its regular trading session or (b) the occurrence or existence prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Scheduled Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture) for the Common Stock for more than one half-hour period in the aggregate during regular trading hours of any suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant stock exchange or otherwise) in the Common Stock or in any options contracts or futures contracts traded on any U.S. exchange relating to the Common Stock.

“Reference Period” means the period of one (1) Trading Day commencing on the first Trading Day following the date hereof.

“Trading Day” means a day on which (a) there is no Market Disruption Event and (b) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on The Nasdaq Global Select Market or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, on the principal other U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or admitted for trading, except that if the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted for trading, “Trading Day” means a Business Day.

The Investor agrees that it and any Exchanging Investor shall not deliver a Notice of Conversion with respect to any Exchanged Notes and the Investor and each Exchanging Investor shall hold the Exchanged Notes until the Closing (as defined below). In consideration for the performance of their obligations hereunder (including as described in the immediately preceding sentence), the Company agrees to deliver the Exchange Consideration on the Closing Date (as defined below) to each Exchanging Investor in exchange for its Exchanged Notes.

The Exchange shall occur in accordance with the procedures set forth in Exhibit B.2 hereto (the “Exchange Procedures”); provided that each of the Company and the Investor acknowledges that the delivery of the Shares to any Exchanging Investor may be delayed due to procedures and mechanics within the system of Computershare Trust Company, N.A., The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) or The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) (including the procedures and mechanics regarding the listing of the Shares on Nasdaq) or other events beyond the Company’s control and that such a delay will not be a breach under this Agreement so long as (i) the Company is using its reasonable best efforts to effect such delivery, or (ii) such delay arises due to a failure by Investor to deliver settlement instructions in accordance with Section 3(s); provided, further, that no delivery of Shares will be made until the Exchanged Notes have been received for exchange in accordance with the Exchange Procedures and no accrued interest will be payable by reason of any delay in making such delivery.

The closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on March 7, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may mutually agree. On the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified herein and the prior receipt by the Trustee from the Investor of the Exchanged Notes, the Company shall deliver the Shares to the DTC account specified by the Investor for each relevant Exchanging Investor in Exhibit B.1. All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity and acceptance of the Exchanged Notes and the Exchange Consideration will be determined by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, which determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and the Company may reasonably request such additional instruments or other documents of conveyance or transfer from the Investor prior to the acceptance of any Exchanged Notes for the Exchange as necessary to complete the Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the Closing, the Investor hereby, for itself and on behalf of its Accounts, irrevocably (a) waives any and all other rights with respect to such Exchanged Notes and (b) releases and discharges the Company and its Affiliates and representatives from any and all claims, actions, causes or rights, whether known or unknown, contingent or matured, that the undersigned and its Accounts may now have, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, such Exchanged Notes, other than claims under, or in respect of, this Agreement and the Investor’s rights hereunder, including its right to receive the Exchange Consideration.

B-2-1

EXHIBIT C

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a holder who exchanges Notes for Shares generally must provide such holder’s correct TIN on a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 (available from the Company or at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx/xxx-xxx/xx0.xxx) or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or a holder’s employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed under Section 6723 of the Code. In addition, certain payments made to holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding (currently set at 24% of the payment). If a holder is required to provide a TIN but does not have a TIN, the holder should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain holders (including corporations and non-U.S. holders) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements.

A non-U.S. holder (i) will be subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding unless such holder establishes an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, such withholding, and (ii) must establish its status as an exempt recipient from backup withholding and can do so by submitting a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY (and all required attachments), or other applicable IRS Form W-8 (available from the Company or at xxx.xxx.xxx), signed, under penalties of perjury, attesting to such holder’s exempt foreign status. This form also may establish an exemption from withholding under Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code.

U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.
