Section 2.02 Form of Notes. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends or endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, or as may be required by the Depositary, as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, or to conform to usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, 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, which does not involve the issuance of a definitive Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with the Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

A Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect repurchases, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Payment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest on a Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a Record Date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto are incorporated herein and shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. If an Interest Payment Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a Redemption Date or Maturity Date is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue thereon as a result thereof.

The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Security) is registered on the Note Register at the Close of Business on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, subject to Section 4.02(b) hereof. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Note Register (or upon written application by such Person to the Security Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such Person’s account within the United States, if such Person is entitled to interest on an aggregate principal in excess of $2,000,000) or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The term “Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the January 1 or July 1 preceding the applicable January 15 or July 15 Interest Payment Date, respectively.

The Security Registrar, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent shall each maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City. The Security Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional conversion agents and paying agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agents, the term Conversion Agent includes any additional conversion agents and the term Security Registrar includes any co-registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Security Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent that is not a party to this Supplemental Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of each such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Article VI of the Base Indenture. The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Security Registrar.

The Company may remove any Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and such agreement is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Security Registrar, Conversion Agent or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee.

Section 2.05 Conversion Agent and Paying Agent to Hold Money and Property in Trust. Except as otherwise provided herein, on or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each due date of payment or settlement date of conversion in respect of any Note, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, a sum of money (in immediately available funds) and any property due upon conversion sufficient to make such payments or conversion when due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money or property held by such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent for the payment of principal of, interest on, and other payments and conversion in respect of the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company in making any such payment or conversion. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, it shall segregate the money or property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money or property held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money or property delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent and Conversion Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.06 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Security Registrar, the Company, on its own behalf, shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing, at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing upon at least 15 days’ prior written request, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay the amount due and payable with respect to such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.08 Cancellation.

To the extent permitted by law, the Company may from time to time repurchase any Notes in the open market or by tender offer at any price or by private agreement without giving prior notice to Holders. The Company may, at its option, surrender any Notes repurchased by it to the Trustee for cancellation, but may not reissue or resell such Notes.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Security Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of them in accordance with its customary procedures and upon written request of the Company shall return to the Company all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, purchase, conversion or cancellation. All Notes so delivered to the Trustee may not be reissued or resold and shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for definitive Notes, transferred, paid, repurchased, redeemed, converted or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by the Depositary or the Custodian to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, paid, repurchased, redeemed, converted or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the Global Note and on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

Section 2.09 Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest.

Subject to Section 4.02, interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the Close of Business on the Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.04.

Subject to Section 4.02, any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and, if applicable, interest on such defaulted interest (to the extent lawful) at the rate or formula specified in the Notes of such series (such defaulted interest and, if applicable, interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the Close of Business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest 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 Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest 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 Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice (which notice shall be prepared by the Company) of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Notes at his 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 Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the Close of Business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company, in writing, to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09, each Note delivered under this Supplemental Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.10 Additional Notes.

The Company may, without the consent of the Noteholders and notwithstanding Article II, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) of the same series as the Initial Notes in the future in an unlimited aggregate principal amount on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the Additional Notes and, at the option of the Company, the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes; provided that such differences do not cause the Additional Notes to constitute a different class of securities than the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Notes and any Additional Notes shall rank equally and ratably and shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture including, without limitation, for purposes of any waivers, supplements or amendments to the Indenture requiring the approval of Holders of the Notes and any offers to purchase the Notes. All provisions of the Indenture shall be construed and interpreted to permit the issuance of such Additional Notes and to allow such Additional Notes to become fungible and interchangeable with the Initial Notes issued under the Indenture. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes and is continuing.

Section 2.11 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President or a Vice President and attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under the Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate Notes, including any Additional Notes, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to the provisions of the Indenture. Each Company Order will specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated and, in the case of Additional Notes, the issue price of such Notes.

The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in the Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent.

In case the Company pursuant to Article IX shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the Person that shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article VIII, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.11 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time Outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

Section 2.12 Ranking. The Notes constitute a general senior unsecured obligation of the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company (including the Senior Notes and Prospect Capital InterNotes) and ranking senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of the Company that is expressly made subordinate to the Notes by the terms of such indebtedness.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes and Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use). The Trustee shall not be responsible for the use of CUSIP numbers, and the Trustee makes no representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note, certificate of Common Stock or notice to Holders 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.

The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.

(e) If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes shall be selected for Redemption (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of DTC, in the case of Global Notes, and by lot, in the case of certificated Notes.

(f) If a Holder converts a Note a portion of which has been selected for Redemption, the converted portion will be deemed to be from the portion selected for Redemption.

Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Notes. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.

ARTICLE IV

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

Section 4.01 Applicability of Article X of the Base Indenture. Article X of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Article IV shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Article X of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Article X thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Article IV.

Section 4.02 Payment of Notes.

A Holder of any Notes as of a Record Date that are converted after Close of Business on such Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Notes, notwithstanding the conversion of such Notes prior to such Interest Payment Date.

(c) On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest to the Person to whom the Company pays the principal amount of the Notes.

Section 4.03 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Security Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company.

If such signer does have knowledge of a Default, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, promptly and in any event within five calendar days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default and the action that the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or shares held in treasury by the Company, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Notes, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Notes.

Section 4.07 Transfer Taxes.

If a Holder converts Notes into shares of Common Stock, the Company will pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Note or Notes to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.

Section 4.08 Reports by Company.

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15 days after filing with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. All required reports, information and documents referred to in this Section 4.08 shall be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee at the time such reports, information and documents are publicly filed with the Commission via the Commission’s XXXXX and/or IDEA filing system (or any successor system).

(b) 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 an Officers’ Certificate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.08, the Company, to the extent permitted under the Trust Indenture Act, shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee or the Holders any material for which the Company has sought and received confidential treatment by the Commission.

ARTICLE V

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 5.01 Applicability of Article V of the Base Indenture. Article V of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions of this Article V shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Article V of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to Article V thereof and the provisions therein, as the case may be, shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Article V and the applicable provisions set forth in this Article V, respectively.

Section 5.02 Each of the following shall be Events of Default with respect to the Notes:

(a) failure by the Company to pay any interest (including Filing Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes when due and such failure continues for a period of 30 calendar days;

(b) failure by the Company to pay principal of the Notes when due at the Maturity Date, or failure by the Company to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payable or Redemption Price payable, in respect of any Notes when due;

(c) failure by the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of any Notes and such failure continues for five Business Days following the scheduled settlement date for such conversion;

(d) failure by the Company to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice on a timely basis in accordance with Section 11.02 when due;

(e) a failure to pay principal when due (whether at stated maturity or otherwise) or an uncured Default that results in the acceleration of maturity, of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent), unless such indebtedness is discharged, or such acceleration is rescinded, stayed or annulled, within a period of 30 calendar days after written notice of such failure or uncured Default is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding;

(f) Default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in the Indenture with respect to any Note (other than a covenant or warranty a Default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such Default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes a written notice specifying such Default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

(g) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences a voluntary case,

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

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

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

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

(i) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case,

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of either of its property, or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

The Company shall be required to notify the Trustee promptly upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any Default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, the sole remedy for the failure by the Company to comply with Section 4.07, and for any failure to comply with the requirements of Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable (each, a “Filing Failure”), will, at the Company’s option, for the 365 days after the occurrence an Event of Default relating to such Filing Failure consist of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes (“Filing Additional Interest”) at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Filing Additional Interest upon the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to a Filing Failure or such Filing Failure continues for more than 365 days after the occurrence of the Event of Default related thereto, the Notes will be subject to acceleration in accordance with Section 5.03. The Filing Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, and will be payable in the same manner as, the interest payable with respect to the Notes, and will accrue on all Outstanding Notes from and including the date on which the Event of Default relating to Filing Failure first occurs to but not including the 365th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Filing Failure shall have been cured or waived). On such 365th day (or such earlier date on which the Filing Failure shall have been cured or waived), the Filing Additional Interest shall cease to accrue.

Section 5.03 Acceleration.

(a) In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 5.02 hereof with respect to the Company, all Outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice by the Trustee or any Holder. Subject to Section 5.02, if any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (e) of Section 5.02 occurs resulting in a declaration of acceleration of the Notes, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if such Event of Default triggering such declaration of acceleration pursuant to clause (e) of Section 5.02 shall have been remedied or cured by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or waived by the holders of the relevant indebtedness within 60 days of the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (i) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal or interest on the Notes that became due and payable solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in this Section 5.03, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences: (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration; (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and (iv) if the Company has paid (or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay) the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses). No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 5.04 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture.

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

Section 5.05 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, consent to the waiver of any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences, except:

(1) failure by the Company to pay principal of or interest (including Filing Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes when due;

(2) failure by the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of any Notes;

(3) failure by the Company to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in connection with a Holder of Notes exercising its repurchase rights in accordance with the Indenture; or

(4) failure of the Company to comply with a covenant or provision of the Indenture which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby.

Upon any such waiver, 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 and the Notes; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.06 Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or, subject to the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Indenture Act, that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes only if:

(a) such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy as Trustee;

(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 calendar days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(e) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

A Holder of a Note may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

Section 5.08 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment or Effect Conversion.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to repurchase or a Redemption), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert Notes in accordance with Article X of this Supplemental Indenture, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.09 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.02(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company, and to enforce such judgment and collect the monies adjudicated or decreed to be payable, for the whole amount of principal of and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes, interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 5.10 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Article VI of the Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Article VI of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding, 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, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained 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 the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 5.11 Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee (or any predecessor Trustee), its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Article VI of the Base Indenture, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Company or such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 5.11. If a record date is fixed, the Trustee shall send, by first class mail, electronically or by any other means approved by the Trustee to the Holders of the Notes of record a notice at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the payment date. Such notice shall state: (1) that a payment is being made pursuant to this Section 5.11, (2) the relevant Default and the circumstances giving rise to the collection of money pursuant to this Section 5.11, (3) the payment date and (4) the amount of such payment per $1,000 of Notes.

Section 5.12 Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Supplemental Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, 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 a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 5.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 5.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

Section 8.04 Execution of Supplemental Indentures, Agreements and Waivers.

In executing, any supplemental indenture, agreement, instrument or waiver permitted by this Article VIII or the modifications thereby of the Indenture, the Trustee shall, upon request, be provided with, and (subject to Article VI of the Base Indenture) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate from each obligor under the Notes entering into such supplemental indenture, agreement, instrument or waiver, each stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture, agreement, instrument or waiver (a) is authorized or permitted by the Indenture; (b) does not violate the provisions of any agreement or instrument evidencing any other indebtedness of the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company; and (c) that all conditions precedent in the Indenture relating to such supplemental indenture have been complied with.

Section 8.08 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.

A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver made pursuant to Section 8.02(l) shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents.

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

Section 8.09 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

Section 9.02 Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.

(a) The Company will not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or sell, convey, transfer or lease its property and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person, unless:

ARTICLE X

CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 10.01 Conversion Privilege.

(a) Upon compliance with the provisions of this Article X, a Holder of Notes 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 scheduled Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a rate (the “Conversion Rate”) of 100.2305 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment by the Company as provided in Section 10.04) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares (collectively, the “Conversion Obligation”).

(b) (%3) If and only to the extent a Noteholder elects to convert Notes prior to the Maturity Date in connection with a transaction described in clause (a), clause (c) (without reference to sub clause (iii) thereunder) or clause (d) of the definition of Fundamental Change pursuant to which 10% or more of the consideration for the Common Stock (other than cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) in such transaction consists of cash or securities (or other property) that are not shares of common stock traded or scheduled to be traded immediately following such transaction on the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Marker or the NASDAQ Global Select Market (or any of their respective successors), referred to herein as a “Non-Stock Change of Control”, then the Conversion Rate applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes so converted shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described in Section 10.01(b)(ii) below. The Company shall notify Holders of the anticipated Effective Date of a Non-Stock Change of Control no later than such time that the Non-Stock Change of Control occurs. Settlement of Notes tendered for conversion to which Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate as provided in this subsection shall be settled pursuant to Section 10.02 below, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 10.01(b), a conversion of Notes shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Non-Stock Change of Control to the extent that the related conversion notice is received by the Conversion Agent following the Effective Date of the Non-Stock Change of Control but before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Such conversion notice shall indicate that the Holder of Notes has elected to convert Notes in connection with a Non-Stock Change of Control; provided, however, that the failure to so indicate shall not in any way affect the Conversion Obligation or the right of such Holder to receive Additional Shares in connection with such conversion.

(i) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Non-Stock Change of Control occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and the Stock Price; provided, that if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table attached as Schedule A hereto or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table attached as Schedule A hereto, 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 Price amounts and the two Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 360‑day year; provided further that if (x) the Stock Price is in excess of $11.50 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 10.04), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate, and (y) the Stock Price is less than $9.07 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 10.04), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)(ii), exceed 110.2535 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to the same adjustments as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.04.

The number of Additional Shares within the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted in the same manner as and as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted as set forth in Section 10.04 (other than by operation of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)). The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table attached as Schedule A hereto (i.e., the column headers) shall be simultaneously adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted (other than by operation of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)). 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 in effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

(d) If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for Redemption pursuant to Article III, a Holder of Notes may convert all or any portion of its Notes called for Redemption only until the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. If the Conversion Date falls after April 15, 2022, and prior to the next Record Date, such Holder shall receive, in addition to any accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the Conversion Date, the Make-Whole Premium.

Section 10.02 Conversion Procedures.

(a) Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

(b) In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Note, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book‑entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, pay all taxes or duties, if any, for which the Holder is responsible pursuant to Section 4.07, and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any certificated Notes, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:

(i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Note and attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Conversion Notice”) or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;

(ii) deliver the completed Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent;

(iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

(iv) if required, pay all taxes or duties pursuant to Section 4.07.

The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth in this Section 10.02(b) is the “Conversion Date.” The Conversion Agent will provide the Company with notice of any conversion by a Holder of the Notes on the Conversion Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be the next Business Day if the applicable requirements are satisfied after the Close of Business on a Business Day and prior to the Open of Business on the next Business Day).

(c) Each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. All such Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized attorney.

(d) In case any certificated Notes of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the Close of Business on the relevant Conversion Date. The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything contained in the Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall a Holder be entitled to the benefit of a Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Article X hereof in respect of Notes surrendered for conversion if, by virtue of being deemed the record holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such Holder participates, as a result of being such holder of record, in the transaction or event that would otherwise give rise to such Conversion Rate adjustment to the same extent and in the same manner as holders of shares of Common Stock generally.

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

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to require the Company to repurchase such Note may be converted only if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 11.02(c) hereof.

Section 10.03 Payments Upon Conversion.

(a) Upon any conversion of any Notes, on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect as of such Conversion Date, together with any cash payment for any fractional share of Common Stock as described in Section 10.03(c).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, upon the conversion of any Notes, unless the Holder converts after a Record Date for an interest payment but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Holder will also receive a separate cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest (including Filing Additional Interest, if any) to, but not including, the Conversion Date. Any such payment will be made on the settlement date applicable to the relevant conversion of the Notes.

(c) The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes. If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Notes, the Company shall make payment therefor in cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, no Holder of Notes will 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 Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “Limitation”). Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes 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 5.0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. 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 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 Limitation shall no longer apply following the Effective Date of any Fundamental Change.

Section 10.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

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



CR₁	=	CR₀	×	OS₁
				OS₀

where



CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;
CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;
OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination; and
OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such dividend, distribution, share split or combination, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination had not been declared.

(b) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a shareholders’ rights plan) entitling them for a period of not more than 60 days from the issuance date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:



CR₁	=	CR₀	×	OS₀ + X
				OS₀ + Y

where



CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for such distribution;
CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;
OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;
X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for such distribution. If such rights or warrants are not issued or to the extent they are not so exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such record date for such distribution had not been fixed.

In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, where the value of such consideration, if other than cash, shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) (%3) In case the Company shall distribute shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (excluding dividends and distributions covered by Section 10.04(a), Section 10.04(b), Section 10.04(d), and distributions described below in Section 10.04(c)(ii) with respect to Spin-Offs (as defined below)) (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 10.04(c) called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:



CR₁	=	CR₀	×	SP₀
				XX₀ – FMV

where



CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for such distribution;
CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;
SP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution; and
FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Open of Business on the record date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for shareholders entitled to receive such distribution; provided that (1) if the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than SP₀ as set forth above or (2) if SP₀ exceeds the fair market value of the Distributed Property by less than $0.01, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes upon conversion, the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Notes immediately prior to the record date for determining the shareholders of the Company entitled to receive the Distributed Property. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If such dividend or distribution consists of rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 10.04(c)(i) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in determining SP₀ above.

(i) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in 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 listed on a national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:



CR₁	=	CR₀	×	FMV + MP₀
				MP₀

where



CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for the Spin-Off;
CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for the Spin‑Off;
FMV	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or other similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the third Trading Day after the record date for such Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and
MP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

Such adjustment shall occur immediately after the Open of Business on the day after the last day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the record date for the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten Trading Days following any Spin-Off, references within this Section 10.04(c)(ii) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate. Because the Company will make the adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Valuation Period with retroactive effect, the Company will delay the settlement of any Notes where the Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period. In such event, the Company will deliver shares of Common Stock and any cash in lieu thereof (based on the adjusted Conversion Rate) on the third Business Day following the last day of the Valuation Period.

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 10.04(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights 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 or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.04 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights 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 and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of this Section 10.04(c) and Section 10.04(a) and Section 10.04(b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.04(c) is applicable that also includes a dividend or distribution of Common Stock to which Section 10.04(a) applies or a dividend or distribution of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock to which Section 10.04(a) or Section 10.04(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such Common Stock or rights or warrants to which this Section 10.04(c) applies, and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 10.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 10.04(a) and Section 10.04(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the record date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the record date” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 10.04(a) and Section 10.04(b) and (B) any Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed outstanding “at Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination” within the meaning of Section 10.04(a) or “at Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 10.04(b).

(e) In case the Company shall pay any cash dividends or make distributions paid exclusively in cash to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than dividends or distributions made in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or distributions to which Section 10.06 applies), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:



CR₁	=	CR₀	×	SP₀ – DTA
				SP₀ – C

where



CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution;
CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;
SP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution;
DTA	=	the dividend threshold amount, which will initially be equal to $0.08333 per share in any month; provided that if there is not a record date for a dividend in any month, the DTA may be carried forward by the Company to the next subsequent month, and to the extent the aggregate amount of any dividends with record dates in such subsequent month is less than $$0.08333 such difference may be carried forward to the second subsequent month, subject to a maximum DTA at any time of $0.25; and
C	=	the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock in any dividend.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Open of Business on the record date for such dividend or distribution.

The dividend threshold amount is subject to adjustment on an inversely proportional basis whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted other than pursuant to this Section 10.04(d). If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 10.04(d) as a result of a distribution that is not a regular monthly or quarterly dividend, the dividend threshold amount will be deemed to be zero. For the avoidance of doubt, a distribution that relates to a prior monthly or quarterly period during which the record date for a regular distribution did not occur (such distribution, a “Delayed Distribution”) shall constitute a regular monthly or quarterly dividend (whether paid separately or together with the regular monthly or quarterly distribution with respect to the period in which such Delayed Distribution occurs), notwithstanding the fact that the record date for such Delayed Distribution occurs after the monthly or quarterly period to which the Delayed Distribution relates.

If “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), or if the difference between “SP₀” and “C” is less than $0.01, 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 shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received as 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 10.04(d), in the event of any reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Section 10.04(d), references in this Section 10.04(d) to one share of Common Stock or Last Reported Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the Notes are then convertible equal to the number of shares of such class issued in respect of one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications.

(f) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:



CR₁	=	CR₀	×	AC + ( SP₁ × OS₁ )
				OS₀ × SP₁

where



CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business on the day such tender offer or exchange offer expires;
CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day immediately following the day such tender offer or exchange offer expires;
AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
SP₁	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the day such tender or exchange offer expires (the “Averaging Period”);
OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Close of Business on the day such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and
OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer).

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the Open of Business on the day following the last day of the Averaging Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires. Because the Company will make the adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Averaging Period with retroactive effect, the Company will delay the settlement of any Notes where the Conversion Date occurs during the Averaging Period. In such event, the Company will deliver shares of Common Stock and any cash in lieu thereof (based on the adjusted Conversion Rate) on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the Averaging Period.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.04, no adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.04 will be made:

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

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program or similar arrangement of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this Section 10.04(f) and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

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

(v) for accrued and unpaid interest (including Filing Additional Interest, if any).

(h) To the extent a transaction qualifies under two or more of Section 10.04(a), Section 10.04(b), Section 10.04(c), Section 10.04(d) and Section 10.04(e), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 10.04(c)(i).

(i) For purposes of this Section 10.04 the term “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of shares of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the shares of Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders of the Company entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(j) All calculations and other determinations under this Article X shall be made by the Company in accordance with Section 12.16 hereof and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the right to purchase Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 10.04. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate then in effect at such time. The Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) annually on the anniversary of the first date of issue of the Notes and otherwise, (ii) upon any conversion of the Notes, and (iii) (1) 10 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes (whether at Stated Maturity or otherwise) or (2) 10 Business Days prior to any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, unless such adjustment has already been made.

(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than 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. The Trustee and Conversion Agent may conclusively rely on the accuracy of the Conversion Rate adjustment provided by the Company. 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 provide notice to Holders of such adjustment.

(l) For purposes of this Section 10.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

Section 10.05 Shares to be Fully Paid.

Subject to Section 10.03(c), the Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, sufficient Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.

Section 10.06 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

(a) If the Company:

(i) reclassifies or changes its Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination); or

(ii) consolidates or merges with or into any Person or sells, leases, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets and those of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person;

and in either case holders of Common Stock receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for their Common Stock (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then from and after the effective date of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, each Outstanding Note will, without the consent of Holders of the Notes, become convertible in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture into the consideration the holders of Common Stock received in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (such consideration, the “Reference Property”). If the transaction causes the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), the Reference Property into which the Notes will become convertible will be deemed to be the kind and amount of consideration elected to be received by a majority of shares of Common Stock which voted for such an election (if electing between two types of consideration) or a plurality of shares of Common Stock which voted for such an election (if electing between more than two types of consideration), as the case may be. The Company shall not become a party to any such Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 10.06 in all material respects.

(b) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Note Register, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section 10.06 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 10.06 applies to any Merger Event, Section 10.04 shall not apply.

Section 10.07 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.

In case:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.04; or

(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants;

(c) of any reclassification of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Noteholder at his address appearing on the Note Register at least 10 days before the applicable date specified in clause (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, 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 convert their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 10.08 Shareholder Rights Plans. To the extent that any future shareholders’ rights plan adopted by the Company is in effect upon conversion of the Notes into Common Stock, Holders shall receive, in addition to any Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the rights under the applicable rights agreement unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion of the Notes, in which case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as if the Company distributed to all holders of its Common Stock shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets as described in Section 10.04(c)(i), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. If, and only if, the Holders receive rights under such shareholders’ rights plan as described in the preceding sentence upon conversion of their Notes, then no other adjustment pursuant to this Article X shall be made in connection with such shareholders’ rights plan.

ARTICLE XI

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 11.01 Applicability of Article XIII of the Base Indenture. Article XIII of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes.

Section 11.02 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then each Noteholder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, for cash on or after the Close of Business on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than twenty (20) calendar days and not more than thirty-five (35) calendar days after the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined below) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including Filing Additional Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (collectively, the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest (including Filing Additional Interest, if any) will be paid on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date to the Holder of record on the Record Date.

Repurchases of Notes under this Section 11.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note at any time prior the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in the Borough of Manhattan, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 11.02 only if the Note so delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:

(A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

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

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

(D) if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Fundamental Change pursuant to a definitive agreement giving rise to a Fundamental Change, that the Holder acknowledges that the Company’s offer is conditioned on the occurrence of such Fundamental Change.

provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with Applicable Procedures.

Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.02 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Note.

The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02(c).

Any Note that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.

(b) On or before the fifth (5th) calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of record of the Notes as of the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at their addresses shown in the Note Register (and to beneficial owners to the extent required by applicable law) and the Trustee and Paying Agent a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the information included therein once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at such time.

Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) that the Holder must exercise the repurchase right prior to the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

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

(vii) the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate;

(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 11.02.

(c) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

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

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

(iii) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes;

provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with Applicable Procedures. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any certificated Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.02(c). If the Notes are not in certificated form, such return must comply with the appropriate procedures of the Depositary. If a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is given and then subsequently withdrawn in accordance with this Section 11.02(c), then the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase any Notes listed in such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

(d) On or prior to 1:00 p.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will 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 in accordance with the Indenture an amount of money or securities sufficient to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all of the Notes to be repurchased as of such date at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company and subject to extension if necessary to comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will be made promptly after the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in this Section 11.02), and (y) 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 this Section 11.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register (in the case of certificated Notes) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee (if the Notes are not in certificated form). The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(e) If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money or securities sufficient to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased as of the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) such Notes will cease to be Outstanding, (ii) interest (including Filing Additional Interest, if any) will 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, as the case may be, and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery or transfer of such Notes.

Section 11.03 No Payment Following Acceleration of the Notes.

There shall be no repurchase of any Notes pursuant to this Article XI if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any certificated Notes held by it following acceleration of the Notes and shall deem canceled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return and cancellation, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 11.04 Compliance with Tender Offer Rules.

In connection with any offer to repurchase Notes under Section 11.02 hereof, the Company shall, in each case if required, (a) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 11.02 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 11.02.

Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and interest on all Notes may be declared, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Redemption Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will 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 other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall make any of the changes set forth in Section 8.02 of the Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected thereby. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Notes, the Holders of a majority in 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 except as provided in the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and any securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other securities.

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 the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

This Note is not subject to redemption prior to April 15, 2022. On or after April 15, 2022, the Note is subject to redemption in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Indenture.

The Company shall mail to all Holders of record of the Notes a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof at any time following the Company entering into a definitive agreement that, if consummated, would give rise to a Fundamental Change, but in any event not later than the fifth (5th) calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder may surrender for conversion all or any portion of this Note that is in an integral multiple of $1,000.

Instead, the Company shall pay cash in lieu of such fractional share of Common Stock as provided in the Indenture. The initial Conversion Rate shall be 100.2305 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. If a Holder converts all or a part of this Note in connection with the occurrence of certain Fundamental Change transactions, the Conversion Rate shall be increased in the manner and to the extent described in the Indenture.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax, assessments or other governmental charge imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (except as otherwise set forth in the Indenture).
