THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE DATE (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”) WHICH IS ONE YEAR IN THE CASE OF RULE 144A NOTES, AND 40 DAYS IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S NOTES AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF THIS SECURITY) OR THE DATE OF ANY SUBSEQUENT REOPENING OF THE SECURITIES AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WAS THE OWNER OF THIS SECURITY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF SUCH SECURITY), ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (D) PURSUANT TO OFFERS AND SALES THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATE WITHIN THE MEANING OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (E) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(a)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT IS AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR ACQUIRING THE SECURITY FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF SUCH AN INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR, OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM AND/OR A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE IN THE FORM PRESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.

In addition, each Regulation S Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “Regulation S Legend”):

“IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S NOTES: BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREOF REPRESENTS THAT IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON NOR IS IT PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.”

(e) With respect to any proposed registration of transfer of any Note prior to (x) the date which is one year (or such other date when resales of securities by non-Affiliates are first permitted under Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act) after the later of the date of the original issue date of the applicable Notes or the date of any subsequent reopening of such Notes and the last date on which the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates were the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”), the Holder of such Note and each subsequent Holder thereof shall offer, sell, or otherwise transfer such Note only (i) to the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (ii) pursuant to a registration statement which has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) for so long as such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a Person it reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (iv) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” or (v) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; in each of the foregoing cases subject to any requirements of law that the disposition of its property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within its or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date.

(f) Upon the transfer or replacement of a Global Note (or beneficial interest therein) not bearing a Restricted Securities Legend (an “Unrestricted Global Note”) the Trustee shall deliver an Unrestricted Global Note (or beneficial interest therein) and upon the transfer or replacement of a definitive Note not bearing a Restricted Securities Legend (an “Unrestricted Definitive Note”), the Trustee shall deliver an Unrestricted Definitive Note. Upon the transfer, exchange, or replacement of a Global Note (or beneficial interest therein) bearing a Restricted Securities Legend (a “Restricted Global Note”) the Trustee shall deliver only a Restricted Global Note (or beneficial interest therein) and upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of a definitive Note bearing a Restricted Securities Legend (a “Restricted Definitive Note”), the Trustee shall deliver only Restricted Definitive Notes unless, in each case, (i) a Note is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) Notes are being exchanged for Notes that do not bear the Restricted Securities Legend in accordance with the following paragraph, or (iii) there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it stating that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, upon which opinion the Trustee may conclusively rely. Any Notes sold in a registered offering. shall not be required to bear the Restricted Securities Legend.

Upon the Company’s satisfaction that the Restricted Securities Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note may be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note without any action required by or on behalf of the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that is the 366th calendar day after the later of the date of the original issue date of the applicable Notes or the date of any subsequent reopening of such Notes, or in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day.

Upon the Company’s satisfaction that the Restricted Securities Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may cause the Restricted Securities Legend to be removed by (i) providing the Depositary an instruction letter for the Depositary’s mandatory exchange process (or any successor notice, form, or action required pursuant to the Depositary’s applicable procedures) to the extent required; (ii) providing written notice to the Trustee (x) instructing the Trustee to take any actions as may be necessary so that the Restricted Securities Legend set forth on the Global Notes shall be deemed removed from the Global Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes and the Indenture, without further action on the part of Holders and (y) instructing the Trustee to take any actions as may be necessary so that the restricted CUSIP number for the Notes shall be removed from the Global Notes and replaced with an unrestricted CUSIP number; and (iii) on or prior to the effective date of the Automatic Exchange (such date, the “Automatic Exchange Date”), deliver to the Trustee for authentication one or more Unrestricted Global Notes, duly executed by the Company, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Restricted Global Notes to be exchanged into such Unrestricted Global Notes. The Restricted Global Note from which beneficial interests are transferred pursuant to an Automatic Exchange shall be cancelled following the Automatic Exchange.

Any definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 3.05 of the Base Indenture shall, bear the applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable thereto set forth in this Section 2.03 of this Supplemental Indenture unless (i) the Global Note is an Unrestricted Global Note, or (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it stating that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, upon which opinion the Trustee may conclusively rely.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Supplemental Indenture and any Notes, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Security Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.03 of this Supplemental Indenture to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile, electronic mail, .pdf attachment or other electronic means.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in respect of the principal and interest (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the Forced Conversion Consideration, if applicable) on any Global Note shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee and in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.

(c) Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the rate borne by the Notes plus one percent, subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts 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 Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause (i) provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.04(c).

(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed 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 clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes

Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Section 2.05 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Section 3.03 thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Section 2.05. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile, .pdf attachment or other electronically transmitted signature (including, without limitation, DocuSign or Adobe Sign) of its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer or any of its Executive or Vice Presidents and attested by its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion for Counsel in accordance with Section 16.05 for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Company hereunder. In authenticating such Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under the Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon,

(i) an Opinion of Counsel stating as follows:

(a) that the form or forms of such Notes have been established in conformity with the provisions of the Indenture;

(b) that the terms of such Notes have been established in conformity with the provisions of the Indenture; and

(c) that such Notes, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with the Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, to general equitable principles and to such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders of such Notes; and

(ii) an Officers’ Certificate stating, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, that no Event of Default with respect to any of the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate Notes that are not substantially in the form attached hereto if the issue of such Notes pursuant to the Indenture shall affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Notes and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate the Notes denominated in a foreign currency if the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such Notes.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, executed manually or by facsimile, .pdf attachment or other electronically transmitted signature (including, without limitation, DocuSign or Adobe Sign) by an authorized officer of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.10 hereunder), shall be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Supplemental Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.

Section 2.06. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Depositary. Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Section 3.05 thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Section 2.06.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars. In acting hereunder and in connection with the Notes, the Note Registrar shall act solely as an agent of the Company, and shall not thereby assume any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder.

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing. Any transferring Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, as applicable, any information reasonably available to the transferring Holder and necessary to allow the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, as applicable, to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation, any cost basis reporting obligations under Code Section 6045 of the Code. The Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, as applicable, may rely on any such information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer.

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar and any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion, or (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 14.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of Section 2.06(c), all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with the Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture, a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary, and (ii) for transfers of portions of a Global Note in certificated form made upon request of a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section 2.06(c).

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) 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 in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC, except as expressly set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.03. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by DTC.

If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest, and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.

Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.

At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

None of the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

(d) The Company shall cause any Note that is repurchased by it to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.09.

Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Section 2.07 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Section 3.06 thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Section 2.07.

In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security and/or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security and/or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company, the Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, or the co-Note Registrar may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection with such substitution. In case any Note that has matured or that, according to such Holder, would have otherwise been surrendered for required purchase (at a time when Notes may be so surrendered) or conversion in accordance with Article 13 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security and/or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment, conversion or required purchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, conversion or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.08. Temporary Notes. Section 3.04 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Section 2.08 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Section 3.04 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Section 3.04 thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Section 2.08.

Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall 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 Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical 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 the Indenture and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under the Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.09. Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. Section 3.10 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Section 2.09 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Section 3.10 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Section 3.10 thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Section 2.09.

The Company, Note Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall cause all Notes surrendered to them by Holders for the purpose of payment, required purchase, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it, and no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of the 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.

Section 2.10. CUSIP Numbers

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.11. Additional Notes; Repurchases

The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.02, reopen the Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than date of issuance and the date from which interest shall initially accrue) 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, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 16.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. 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 by tender offer at any price or by private agreement. 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 2.09.

ARTICLE 3.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Article Four of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Article 3 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Article Four of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Article Four thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Article 3.

Section 3.01. Satisfaction and Discharge

The Indenture shall, upon request of the Company contained in an Officers’ Certificate, cease to be of further effect, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, when (a) (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all Notes

(A) have become due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, any Fundamental Change Purchase Date, any Forced Conversion Date, or upon conversion or otherwise, or

(B) shall become due and payable at their Maturity Date within one year, or

(C) are to be called for Forced Conversion in accordance with Article 15 within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of conversion by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company, in the case of (A), (B), or (C) above, has deposited with the Trustee or delivered to Holders, as applicable, cash and/or (solely to satisfy the Conversion Obligation, if applicable) shares of Common Stock, sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes or satisfy the Conversion Obligation, as the case may be, and pay all other sums due and payable under the Indenture by the Company; and

(b) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.06 shall survive.

ARTICLE 4.
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

Section 4.01. Covenants

Except as may be provided in a Future Supplemental Indenture, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes but no other series of Securities under the Indenture, whether now or hereafter issued and outstanding, Article Ten of the Base Indenture shall be amended by adding the following new Sections 10.07, 10.08, 10.09, 10.10 and 10.11 thereto, each as set forth below:

If, at any time, the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act to file any periodic reports with the Commission, the Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of Notes and the Trustee for the period of time during which the Notes are outstanding: (i) within 90 days after the end of the each fiscal year of the Company, audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company and (ii) within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company (other than the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter), unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company. All such financial statements shall be prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP, as applicable.

Delivery of such reports, information, and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).”

“Section 10.10 144A Information.

If, at any time, the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act to file any periodic reports with the Commission, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes, at such time, are outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.”

The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 or maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

Section 6.02. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment

If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company occurs, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable.

The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of, and interest on, the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes plus one percent at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Forced Conversion Consideration, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes, (ii) a failure to purchase any Notes when required, or (iii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 6.03. Additional Interest

If at any time a Below Investment Grade Rating Event occurs, then as of the date of the occurrence of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event to and until the date on which the Notes have received an Investment Grade Rating from a Rating Agency, the Notes shall bear Additional Interest at an annual rate equal to 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Any such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes, pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 6.04. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor

If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (c), or (e) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes plus one percent at such time, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Note Registrar, and their respective agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Note Registrar any amount due to each for their respective reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including their respective agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under the Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

Subject to the second preceding paragraph, in any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of the Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.05. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee

Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 7.06 and any other agent hereunder;

Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time plus one percent (to the extent permitted by applicable law), such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, the payment of the Forced Conversion Consideration, and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time plus one percent (to the extent permitted by applicable law), and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, the Forced Conversion Consideration, and the cash due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, the Forced Conversion Consideration, and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and

Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons entitled thereto.

Section 6.06. Proceedings by Holders

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Forced Conversion Consideration) or interest when due, or the right to convert its Note or to receive delivery of the consideration due upon conversion or the right of a beneficial owner to exchange its beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Physical Note pursuant to Section 2.06(c) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of the Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity, security or both, satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby; and

(c) the Trustee shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days after such notice, request and offer and shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request within 60 days after such notice, request and offer, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the Forced Conversion Consideration, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in the Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.07. Proceedings by Trustee

In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by the Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in the Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by the Indenture or by law.

Section 6.08. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing

Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 6.09. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders

The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction and (c) subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that may involve it in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a failure by the Company to pay accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Fundamental Change Purchase Price or any Forced Conversion Consideration) of, the Notes when due, (ii) a failure by the Company to deliver the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes within the time period required hereunder or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and the Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.10. Notice of Defaults

The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, mail to all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note Register, notice of all Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Forced Conversion Consideration, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs

All parties to the Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article 13.

ARTICLE 7.
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee

Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Section 7.01 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Section 6.01 thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Section 7.01.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

No provision of the Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) prior to the time when the occurrence of an Event of Default becomes known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of the Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 8.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under the Indenture;

(d) whether or not therein provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Company or any Paying Agent or any records maintained by any co-Note Registrar with respect to the Notes;

(f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to the Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, excluding any Default in the payment of principal (the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Forced Conversion Consideration, if applicable) of, or interest on, the Notes, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee had actual knowledge of such event;

(g) all cash received by the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account;

(h) in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or transfer agent hereunder, the rights, privileges, immunities, indemnities and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 (including the right to be indemnified) shall also be afforded to such Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or transfer agent; and

(i) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

None of the provisions contained in the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds, give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder, or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

Every provision in the Indenture relating to the conduct of, or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the relevant provisions of this Article 7.

Section 7.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, Etc.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, direction, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Whenever in the administration of the Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be provided or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may require and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a Board Resolution, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers’ Certificate;

(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and require an Opinion of Counsel and any advice of such counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(d) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

(e) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, custodian, nominee or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder;

(f) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person retained to act hereunder;

(g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture;

(h) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to the Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded; and

(i) the permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

Anything in the Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, other than a Default relating to a failure by the Company to pay the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Forced Conversion Consideration, if applicable) of, or interest on, the Notes, unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default, or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company or by any Holder of the Notes and such notice references the Notes and the Indenture.

Section 7.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc.

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee nor any authenticating agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of the Indenture.

Section 7.04. Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Note Registrar May Own Notes

The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Note Registrar.

Section 7.05. Monies to Be Held in Trust

All monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee

Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Section 7.06 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Section 6.06 thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Section 7.06. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to from time to time in writing between the Trustee and the Company, and the Company shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of the Indenture in any capacity thereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their respective officers, directors, employees and representatives in any capacity under the Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct (misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) on the part of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Indenture or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any third-party claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received written notice. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder unless, and solely to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Company’s defense of such claim. The Company shall defend the claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such claim include both the Company and the Trustee and the Trustee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Company, or the Trustee has concluded that there may be any other actual or potential conflicting interests between the Company and the Trustee, the Trustee shall have the right to select separate counsel and the Company shall be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel. Any settlement which affects the Trustee may not be entered into without the written consent of the Trustee, unless the Trustee is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Trustee. Any settlement by the Trustee which affects the Company may not be entered into without the written consent of the Company, unless such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Company. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of Section 6.05, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company. The obligation of the Company under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal or the Trustee. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel).

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(j) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Section 7.07. Officers’ Certificate as Evidence

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of the Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Officers’ Certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of the Indenture upon the faith thereof.

ARTICLE 8.
CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 8.01. Action by Holders

Whenever in the Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced Article 11 by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or Article 12 by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 8.02. Proof of Execution by Holders

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06.

Section 8.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners

The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.04) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common Stock so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such Holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

Section 8.04. Company-Owned Notes Disregarded

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under the Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Company, by any Subsidiary thereof or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided, however, that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Subsidiary thereof or a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in the Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

ARTICLE 9.
HOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Article Fifteen of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Article 9 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Article Fifteen of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Article Fifteen thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Article 9.

Section 9.01. Purpose of Meetings

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

(b) to remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article 7;

(c) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02; or

Section 9.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee

The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders to take any action specified in Section 9.01, to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Holders, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting and the establishment of any record date pursuant to Section 8.01, shall be mailed to Holders of such Notes at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Such notice shall also be mailed to the Company. Such notices shall be mailed not less than 20 nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

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

Section 9.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Holders

In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders may determine the time and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 9.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section 9.02.

Section 9.04. Qualifications for Voting

To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders a Person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Notes on the record date pertaining to such meeting, or (b) be a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by a Holder of one or more Notes on the record date pertaining to such meeting.

Section 9.05. Regulations

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

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04, at any meeting of Holders each Holder or proxyholder shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held or represented by him or her; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Notes held by it or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating it as the proxy to vote on behalf of other Holders. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 may be adjourned from time to time by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented at the meeting, whether or not constituting a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

Section 9.06. Voting

The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 9.02. The record shall show the aggregate principal amount of the Notes voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

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

Section 9.07. No Delay of Rights by Meeting

Nothing contained in this Article 9 shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under any of the provisions of the Indenture or of the Notes.

ARTICLE 10.
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

Article Nine of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Article 10 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Article Nine of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Article Nine thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Article 10.

Section 10.01. Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders

The Company, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors and the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes:

(h) to conform the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes to the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum.

Upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02.

Section 10.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders

With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 8) of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (determined in accordance with Article 8 and including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, Notes), the Company, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors and the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders, or waiving the Company’s compliance in any instance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes, without notice to the other Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no such supplemental indenture shall:

(a) change the stated maturity date of the principal of or any interest on the Notes;

(b) reduce the principal amount of or interest on the Notes;

(c) reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the Notes;

(d) change the currency of payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or change any Note’s place of payment;

(f) modify the provisions set forth in Article 14 in a manner adverse to Holders of Notes;

(g) change the ranking of the Notes;

(h) adversely affect the right of Holders to convert their Notes, or to reduce the consideration due upon conversion; or

(i) modify this Article 10 or the provisions in Section 6.09 relating to waivers of Events of Default.

Upon the written request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid and subject to Section 10.05, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

Holders do not need under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture. It shall be sufficient if such Holders approve the substance thereof. After any such supplemental indenture becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such supplemental indenture. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, shall not impair or affect the validity of the supplemental indenture.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10, the Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under the Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Indenture for any and all purposes.

Section 10.04. Notation on Notes

Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 may, at the Company’s expense, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of the Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 16.10) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then outstanding.

Section 10.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished Trustee

In addition to the documents required by Section 16.05, the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 10 and is permitted or authorized by the Indenture.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest on any Note, nor for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, nor because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, Officer or director or Subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of the Notes.

ARTICLE 13.
CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 13.01. Conversion Privilege

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 13 (including, without limitation, Section 13.02(k)), each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at an initial conversion rate of 66.6667 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 13, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 13.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).

Section 13.02. Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion

(a) Upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, at the election of the Company: (i) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date, together with a cash payment, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 13.02, (ii) the Cash Equivalent of the shares of Common Stock and cash deliverable and payable pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section 13.02, or (iii) a combination of the consideration described in subsections (a)(i) and (ii) of this Section 13.02, in each case no later than the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (the “Conversion Consideration”). The “Cash Equivalent” per share of Common Stock shall be an amount equal to: (i) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is then listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day prior to the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered.

(b) Subject to Section 13.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, effect a book-entry transfer of such Note to the Conversion Agent through the facilities of the Depositary and comply with the Depositary’s then-applicable conversion procedures and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.02(h) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile, .pdf attachment or other electronically transmitted signature thereof (including, without limitation, DocuSign or Adobe Sign)) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.02(h). The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 13 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with Section 14.02.

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. The Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation.

(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.

(e) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion and any expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) due in connection therewith, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) Except as provided in Section 13.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 13.

(g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(h) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any additional cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, unless such Holder is the Holder on a Regular Record Date and such conversion occurs between such Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates as set forth below. Except as set forth below, the Company’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion by a Holder after the close of business on any Regular Record Date but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided, however, that, subject to any rules or procedures of the Depositary to the contrary, no such payment shall be required: (1) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (2) with respect to any Notes surrendered for conversion following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; or (3) only to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. As a result of the foregoing, the Company shall pay interest on the Maturity Date on all Notes converted after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, and converting Holders shall not be required to pay the Company an equivalent interest amount.

(i) The Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion, except for purposes of enforcing its right to receive (x) the consideration due upon conversion, and (y) in the case of a conversion following a Regular Record Date and prior to the related Interest Payment Date, interest payable on such Notes.

(j) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Holder shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause such converting Holder to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 5.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “Ownership Limitation”). Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes (including pursuant to any Forced Conversion) shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the converting Holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Ownership Limitation. If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon conversion of Notes is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the Ownership Limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such shares as promptly as practicable after any such converting Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in it being the beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. The Ownership Limitation shall no longer apply following the effective date of any Fundamental Change.

Section 13.03. Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Adjustment Events

(a) If a Holder elects to convert its Notes at any time from, and including, the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event to, and including, (i) the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date, or (ii) if such Make-Whole Adjustment Event does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, the 40th Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event, the Conversion Rate shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (such shares, the “Additional Shares”), as set forth below.

(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion pursuant to Section 13.01 during the period set forth in clause (a) immediately above in connection with a Make-Whole Adjustment Event, the Company shall deliver shares of Common Stock, including the Additional Shares, in accordance with Section 13.02. The Company shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the anticipated Effective Date of any Make-Whole Adjustment Event and issue a press release as soon as practicable after the Company first determines the anticipated Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event (and make the press release available on the Company’s website). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give notice to Holders of the anticipated Effective Date for a Make-Whole Adjustment Event not less than 20 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date. In addition, the Company shall notify the Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the actual Effective Date of any Make-Whole Adjustment Event and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date (and make the press release available on the Company’s website) within five Business Days following such Effective Date.

(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased for conversions of Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Adjustment Event shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Adjustment Event occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and (1) the price paid per share of the Common Stock in the Change of Control in the case of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event of the type set forth in clause (b) of the definition of “Change of Control”, in the event that the Common Stock is acquired for cash, or (2) either (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Adjustment Event, in the case of any other Make-Whole Adjustment Event (the amount determined under clause (1) or clause (2) immediately above, as applicable, the “Stock Price”).

(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below in the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted as set forth in Section 13.04. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 13.04.

(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 13.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

	Stock Price
Effective Date	$13.00		$13.50		$14.00		$14.50		$15.00		$16.00		$17.00		$18.00		$19.00		$20.00

The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case if the Stock Price is:

(i) between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable;

(ii) in excess of $20.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) immediately above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and

(iii) less than $13.01 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) immediately above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not increase the Conversion Rate to more than 76.8640 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Maximum Conversion Rate”) pursuant to the events set forth in this Section 13.03; provided, however, the Maximum Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, for the same events, and at the same time and in the same manner, that the Company must adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.04.

(f) Nothing in this Section 13.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event.

Section 13.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate

The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events or transactions occurs.

(a) If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all of the shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company subdivides or combines its Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

		OS
CR =	CR₀ x	——
		OS⁰

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be;
CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be;
OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be; and
OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable.

Any adjustment made under this Section 13.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be. If such dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 13.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the Company declares a distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock of any rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share: (i) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange, less than or equal to the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national securities exchange, less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

		OS₀ + X
CR =	CR₀ x	————
		OS⁰+ Y

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by (i) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is then listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution.

Any increase made under this Section 13.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, as of the date of such expiration, 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 distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, as of the scheduled distribution date, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Record Date for such distribution had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 13.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price that (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, is less than or equal to the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the applicable 10 consecutive Trading Day period, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

For purposes of this Section 13.04(b) (and subject in all respect to Section 13.12), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13.04(b) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(b) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 13.04(b). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of the Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(b) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

(c) If the Company declares a distribution of shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends or distributions as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 13.04(a) or Section 13.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 13.04(d), and (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 13.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or other securities, a “Relevant Distribution”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

		SP₀
CR =	CR₀ x	—————
		SP₀ - FMV

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
SP₀	=	either (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (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 either (i) if there are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical shares of Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or other securities distributed, the average of the closing sale prices of the relevant property distributed over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, or (ii), if no such quoted price in an active market exists, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Relevant Distribution distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock either (x) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the close of business on the business date immediately preceding the applicable record date for such dividend, or (y) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, as of the close of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the provision of this Section 13.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Datefor such distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Note, the amount and kind of such Relevant Distribution that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for the distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.04(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(c) where the Company has declared a dividend or other distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, shall be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

		FMV + MP₀
CR =	CR₀ x	——————
		MP₀

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off;
CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off;
FMV	=	Either (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of as if references to Closing Sale Price herein to the Common Stock were to such capital stock or similar equity interest) over the first ten (10) consecutive trading-day period commencing on, and including, the ex-dividend date for the spin-off (such period, the “valuation period”) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Closing Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP₀

either (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be determined on either (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period but shall be given effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off. In respect of any conversion of Notes during the Valuation Period for any Spin-Off, if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, references in the portion of this Section 13.04(c) related to Spin-Offs with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate.

For purposes of Section 13.04(a), Section 13.04(b) and Section 13.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 13.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 13.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 13.04(a) and Section 13.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 13.04(b).

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company declares a dividend or distribution consisting of a combination of cash and a Clause A Distribution, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased: (i) as to the cash portion, according to this Section 13.04(d); and (ii) as to the Clause A Distribution portion, according to the greater of the values calculated (x) pursuant to this Section 13.04(d) as if the Clause A Distribution portion were to be paid in cash, or (y) pursuant to Section 13.04(a).

If the Company declares a dividend or distribution where shareholders of the Common Stock have the option of receiving such dividend or distribution, in whole or in part, in the form of either cash or a Clause A Distribution, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased: (i) as to the portion of the aggregate dividend or distribution taken as cash by the shareholders of the Common Stock, according to this Section 13.04(d); and (ii) as to the portion of the aggregate dividend or distribution taken as a Clause A Distribution by the shareholders of the Common Stock, according to the greater of the values calculated (x) pursuant to this Section 13.04(d) as if such aggregate Clause A Distribution portion were to be paid in cash, or (y) pursuant to Section 13.04(a).

(d) If the Company declares any cash dividend or distribution to all, or substantially all, holders of the Common Stock, other than a regular quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed $0.30 per share (the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

		SP_{0 -} T
CR =	CR₀ x	————
		SP₀ - C

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP₀	=	either (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
T	=	the Initial Dividend Threshold; provided that if the dividend or distribution is not a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Initial Dividend Threshold shall be deemed to be zero; and
C	=	the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided that no adjustment shall be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time regular dividends are distributed other than on a quarterly basis, the dividend threshold amount shall be appropriately adjusted and shall apply to all such regular dividends.

Any increase pursuant to this Section 13.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 13.04(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 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 of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Note, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, and if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds either (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

		AC + (OS x SP)
CR =	CR₀ x	———————
		OS₀ x SP

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP	=	either (i) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (ii) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(e) shall be determined either (1) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company’s most recent publicly available NAV per share that has been determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act, or (2) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, at the close of business on the tenth (10^th) Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the Expiration Date but shall be given effect at the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. In respect of any conversion of Notes during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references in this Section 13.04(e) with respect to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, but excluding, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease to the Conversion Rate.

(f) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(g) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 13.04 and Section 13.12, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable listing rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC or any other securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are then listed, (i) the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days as long as such increase is irrevocable during such period and the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar events. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it shall be in effect.

(h) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 13 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.

(i) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, and shall issue a press release containing such information and make such press release available on its website. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Note Register of the Indenture. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(j) For purposes of this Section 13.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company 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, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

Section 13.05. Adjustments of Prices

Whenever any provision of the Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Closing Sale Prices or the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Adjustment Event over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to each 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, Record Date, Expiration Date or Effective Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Closing Sale Prices or the Stock Price are to be calculated.

Section 13.06. [Reserved].

Section 13.07. Shares to Be Fully Paid

. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, which are not reserved for other purposes, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder, and including the maximum number of Additional Shares that may be added to the Conversion Rate in connection with a Make-Whole Adjustment Event).

Section 13.08. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock

(a) In the event of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination, binding share exchange or similar transaction involving the Company,

(iii) any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets; or

(iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company,

in each case, in which holders of the outstanding Common Stock are entitled to receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of Common Stock (“Reference Property” and any such transaction, a “Share Exchange Event”), the Company or the successor or purchasing company, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture, providing that, at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, Holders of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be entitled to convert their Notes into the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Share Exchange Event.

If the Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be (x) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election, or (y) 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, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the weighted average of the consideration received for shares of the Common Stock as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 13. If, in the case of any Share Exchange Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 14, as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. Following any Share Exchange Event, all references herein to the Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to the relevant Reference Property, subject to the provisions of such supplemental indenture.

(b) When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 13.08, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that shall comprise the Reference Property after any such Share Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Holders, and issue a press release containing such information (and make such press release available on its website). The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in the Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 13.08. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 13.01 and Section 13.02 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.

(d) The above provisions of this Section 13.08 shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.

Section 13.09. Certain Covenants

(a) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes shall be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company shall, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company shall list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 13.10. Responsibility of Trustee.

The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) 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, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 13. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 13.08 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 13.08 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 13.11. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions

In case of any:

(a) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.04 or Section 13.12;

(b) Share Exchange Event; or

(c) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of the Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be mailed to each Holder at its address appearing on the Note Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 13.12. Stockholder Rights Plans

If the Company has a rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes (i.e., a poison pill), each share of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable rights plan so that the Holders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock a Relevant Distribution as provided in Section 13.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

ARTICLE 14.
PURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Article 14 shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Article Thirteen thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Article 14.

Section 14.01. Purchase at Option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to purchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 nor more than 35 Business Days following the occurrence of the Fundamental Change at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, in addition to, and not included in, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Article 14 and shall not include accrued and unpaid interest to be paid as a portion of such semi-annual interest payment.

(b) Purchases of Notes under this Section 14.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case following delivery by the Company of the Fundamental Change Company Notice and on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date; and

(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be purchased shall state:

(i) in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for purchase;

(ii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(iii) that the Notes are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and the Indenture;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 14.01 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 14.02.

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

(c) Within five Business Days after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the purchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall issue a press release announcing the occurrence of such Fundamental Change (and make the press release available on its website). Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change, and whether the Fundamental Change is a Make-Whole Adjustment Event;

(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the purchase right pursuant to this Article 14;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

(v) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

(vi) the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate, and the procedures required for exercise of a Holders right to convert its Notes;

(vii) the procedures required for exercise of the purchase option upon the Fundamental Change, and the procedures required for withdrawal of any such exercise; and

(viii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ purchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 14.01.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be purchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 14.02. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice

A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 14.02 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date specifying:

(i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

(ii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and

(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Purchase Notice which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

Section 14.03. Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price

(a) The Company shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date an amount of money sufficient to purchase all of the Notes to be purchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Purchase Price; provided, however, that to the extent any such funds are received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent from the Company after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such due date, such funds shall be deemed deposited within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for purchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date) shall be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 14.01 and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 14.01 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto at their addresses as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

(b) If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased on such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for purchase and have not been validly withdrawn, (i) such Notes shall cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and, if the Fundamental Change Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, the right of the Holder of record on such Regular Record Date to receive the related interest payment, which includes any accrued but unpaid interest).

(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be purchased in part pursuant to Section 14.01, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the un-purchased portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 14.04. Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Purchase of Notes

In connection with any purchase offer pursuant to Section 14.01, the Company shall:

(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, to the extent any such rules are applicable;

(b) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required, under the Exchange Act; and

(c) otherwise comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws;

(d) in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 14 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 14.

ARTICLE 15.
FORCED CONVERSION

Article Twelve of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Notes and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

Section 15.01. Forced Conversion

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, after the Original Issue Date, upon the occurrence of a Trading Threshold Event, the Company may, within five (5) Trading Days after the date of a Trading Threshold Event, issue a Forced Conversion Notice to cause the Holders to convert all or part of the then outstanding principal amount of its Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, through but excluding the Forced Conversion Date, and other amounts owing to the Holders under its Notes pursuant to Section 13, it being agreed that the “Forced Conversion Date” for purposes of a Holder’s Notes shall be deemed to occur on the fifth Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such fifth Trading Day, the “Forced Conversion Date”).

The Company may not issue a Forced Conversion Notice if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date the Forced Conversion Notice is sent to Holders, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Company shall not be effective if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Forced Conversion Date. Any Forced Conversion shall be applied ratably to all Holders based on their initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, except to the extent that such Forced Conversion would violate the Ownership Limitations set forth in Section 13.02(k) herein as to a Holder, and provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against the Holder’s pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder if only a portion of the Notes are forcibly converted. Upon a Forced Conversion, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Common Stock, at its election and in its sole discretion, and the Forced Conversion Make-Whole Payment, if any is so owed, in cash. For purposes of a Forced Conversion, all cash paid in lieu of shares of Common Stock shall be equal to the Forced Conversion Cash Settlement Amount.

For so long as a Holder whose conversion of Notes pursuant to a Forced Conversion was limited by the Ownership Limitation continues to hold Notes thereafter, such Holder must, within five Business Days following the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter in which a Forced Conversion of Notes held by such Holder was first limited by the Ownership Limitation, certify in writing to the Company and the Trustee its beneficial ownership of shares of the Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Certificate”).

Section 15.02. Notice of Forced Conversion; Selection of Notes.

(a) In case the Company exercises its Forced Conversion right to convert all or, as the case may be, any portion of the Notes pursuant to Section 15.01, it shall deliver a Forced Conversion Notice to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and each Holder of Notes. The Forced Conversion Date must be a Business Day.

(b) The Forced Conversion Notice, if given in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Forced Conversion Notice or any defect in the Forced Conversion Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for conversion as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the conversion of any other Note.

(c) Each Forced Conversion Notice shall specify:

(i) the composition of shares of Common Stock and cash allocable to the Conversion Consideration and the cash amount of the Forced Conversion Make Whole Payment to be paid and delivered per Note as a result of the Forced Conversion (the “Forced Conversion Consideration”);

(ii) that on the Forced Conversion Date, the Company shall pay and deliver the Forced Conversion Consideration for each Note to be converted, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Forced Conversion Date;

(iii) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Forced Conversion Consideration;

(iv) that Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Forced Conversion Date;

(v) the then-applicable Conversion Rate;

(vi) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and

(vii) in case any Note is to be converted in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be converted and on and after the Forced Conversion Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unconverted portion thereof shall be issued.

A Forced Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. After the Company has delivered a Forced Conversion Notice, each Holder shall have the right to receive payment and delivery of the Forced Conversion Consideration for its Notes on the later of (i) the Forced Conversion Date and (ii)(a) if the Notes are Physical Notes, delivery of its Notes to the Paying Agent or (b) if the Notes are Global Notes, compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary relating to the conversion and delivery of the beneficial interests to be converted to the Paying Agent and/or Conversion Agent; provided, however, that, until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Forced Conversion Date, Holders may convert their Notes, regardless of whether they have been delivered to the Paying Agent and/or Conversion Agent for conversion, by complying with the requirements for conversion set forth in Article 13.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of conversion in the name of and at the Company’s expense.

(d) If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be Converted, the Notes to be converted shall be selected: (i) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; (ii) if the Notes are not so listed but are represented by a Global Note, then by lot or otherwise in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures; or (iii) if the Notes are not so listed and are not represented by a Global Note, then (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate (it being understood that as long as Notes are held by DTC, notice shall be given by the rules of the Depositary). If any Note selected for partial conversion is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for forced conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for forced conversion.

(e) In the event of any conversion in part, neither the Company nor the Note Registrar shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for conversion, in whole or in part, except the unconverted portion of any Note being converted in part.

Section 15.03. Delivery of Shares and/or Cash on the Forced Conversion Date.

(a) If any Forced Conversion Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 15.02, the Forced Conversion Consideration shall become due and payable on the Forced Conversion Date at the place or places stated in the Forced Conversion Notice in exchange for the Notes. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Forced Conversion Notice, the Notes shall be converted by the Company at the applicable Forced Conversion Consideration.

(b) Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Forced Conversion Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent and/or Conversion Agent, as applicable, or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 7.05, an amount of cash and/or comply with Section 13.02 if shares of Common Stock shall be a portion or all of the Forced Conversion Consideration, sufficient to pay and/or deliver the Forced Conversion Consideration of all of the Notes to be converted on such Forced Conversion Date; provided, however, that to the extent any such funds are received by the Agent and/or Conversion Agent from the Company after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such due date, such funds shall be deemed deposited within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof. Subject to receipt of funds and shares of Common Stock by the Paying Agent and/or Conversion Agent, payment for the Notes to be converted shall be made on the Forced Conversion Date for such Notes. The Paying Agent and/or Conversion Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds or shares in excess of the Forced Conversion Consideration.

Section 15.04. Restrictions on Forced Conversion. The Company may not convert any Notes on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Forced Conversion Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Forced Conversion Consideration with respect to such Notes).

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

Trinity Capital Inc.

6.00% Convertible Notes due 2025

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 6.00% Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 pursuant to the Purchase/Placement Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2020 (the “Purchase/Placement Agreement”), between the Company and Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc. in its capacity as initial purchaser and placement agent (the “KBW”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of January 16, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 11, 2020 (herein called 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 U.S. Bank National Association (the “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 of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.

In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall make payment in respect of the principal amount of any Note on the Maturity Date (i) to the Holder who surrenders a Note at the Corporate Trust Office to collect such payment in respect of the Note or, at the Company’s option, by check mailed to such Holder at its address as it appears on the Note Register or (ii) under certain circumstances, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Holder’s account within the United States. Subject to any rules or procedures of the Depositary to the contrary, the Company shall make all payments in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto at their addresses as they shall appear in the Note Register. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the Forced Conversion Consideration, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. At the Company’s option, it may cause the Holders to convert all or a portion of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest, but excluding the date of such conversion, at any time on or prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, following the listing of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange, the closing sale price of the Common Stock on such national securities exchange for any 30 consecutive Trading Days exceeds 120% of the Conversion Price.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to purchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
