Section 1.03 Rules of Construction.

(a) a term has the meaning assigned to it;

(b) an accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning assigned to it and shall be construed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as in effect and, to the extent optional, adopted by the Company, on the Issue Date, consistently applied;

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

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

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

(g) words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural include the singular;

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

(i) unless the context requires otherwise, all references to payments of interest on the Notes shall include Additional Interest, if any, payable in accordance with the terms of Sections 5.02, 7.01, or the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable.

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

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

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

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

ARTICLE 2.
THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Designation and Amount. The Notes shall be designated as the “3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020.” The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is initially limited to $250,000,000 (as increased by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of any additional Notes purchased by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the exercise of their option to purchase additional Notes as set forth in the Purchase Agreement), subject to Section 2.14 and except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes to the extent expressly permitted hereunder.

Section 2.02 Form and Dating. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is a part of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by applicable law, securities exchange rules or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement required by usage is in a form acceptable to the Company). The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Indenture, all Notes shall be identical in all respects. Notwithstanding any differences among them, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class.

(a) Initial Notes. The Notes initially shall be issued in the form of one Global Note that shall be deposited with the Notes Custodian, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

(b) Global Notes in General. Each Global Note shall represent the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each Global Note 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 reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, purchases by the Company and conversions.

Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount 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 in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof in accordance with Applicable Procedures and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary. Payment of the principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the Global Note shall be made to the Holders of Notes represented by such Global Note on the date of payment, unless a record date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

(c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.02(c) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.03, authenticate and deliver Global Notes that (i) shall be registered

in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered to the Notes Custodian or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions.

(d) Legends. Each Global Note shall bear the Global Securities Legend unless otherwise directed by the Company.

Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer. The signature of such Officer on the Notes may be manual, facsimile or pdf.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $287,500,000, and (ii) any additional Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.14 for original issue after the Issue Date, in each case upon Company Order, which Company Order shall, in the case of any issuance of additional Notes, certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 2.14. In addition, each such Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on the date of authentication, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as Global Notes or Certificated Notes. The Trustee, in accordance with any such Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Notes shall originally be issued only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and integral multiples thereof.

The Trustee may appoint authenticating agents. The Trustee may at any time after the Issue Date appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so, except any Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same right to deal with the Company as the Trustee with respect to such matters for which it has been appointed.

Section 2.04 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain in the continental United States an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and an office or agency where notices to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Holders of Notes, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange and conversion of the Notes (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder

hereunder for all purposes of this Indenture. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents. The term Paying Agent includes any such additional paying agents. The term Conversion Agent includes any such additional conversion agents.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or co-Registrar not a party to this Indenture, which (i) shall implement the provisions of this Indenture relating to such agent and (ii) in the case of the Paying Agent, shall include the provisions set forth in Section 5.05. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent, and of any change therein. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, any presentations, surrenders, notices and demands required to be made by, or at the office of, any such agent may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or in accordance with Section 15.01; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 8.06. The Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-Registrar.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent, and the Registrar, in connection with the Notes, and the Corporate Trust Office to be such office or agency of the Company for the aforesaid purposes. The Company may at any time rescind the designation of the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or the Registrar or approve a change in the location through which any of them acts; provided that the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar must be located within the continental United States.

Section 2.05 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 Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, promptly after each Record Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of the Company-designated Registrar or co-Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04, (i) the Company shall execute, and the Trustee (or any authenticating agent) upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture and (ii) the Registrar shall record the information required pursuant to Section 2.04 regarding the designated transferee or transferees in the Register. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar, any co-Registrar or the Paying Agent for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such

exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged, at such office or agency, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and documents of identity and title satisfactory to the Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Note surrendered for conversion or any Note in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and not validly withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of a Note to be converted or purchased in part by the Company, the portion of such Note not to be so converted or purchased).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.12 and this Section 2.06(b). Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note to the Depositary, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Register.

(d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.04 shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of the Notes upon transfer or exchange of the Notes.

(e) Transfer Restrictions.

(i) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.06(e) to bear the Restricted Securities Legend (a “Restricted Note”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.06(e) and such legend unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Note, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer.

(ii) No transfer of any Restricted Note will be registered by the Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Transfer Certificate attached to such Restricted Note has been checked and such certificates, legal opinions and other information as reasonably required by the Registrar or Company confirming that the applicable condition to transfer has been satisfied have been provided.

(f) Legends on the Common Stock. Except as provided elsewhere in this Indenture, any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Notes shall bear the Restricted Stock Legend unless (I) such Notes or such Common Stock, as applicable, has been transferred (i) under a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or (ii) in accordance with Rule 144, or (II) such requirement is waived by the Company.

(g) Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall be entitled to instruct the custodian for the Depositary (or its nominee) in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms for exchange, and, upon such instruction, such custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that such Note has been lost, destroyed or stolen and the Holder provides evidence of the loss, theft or destruction reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, the Company shall issue, and the Trustee upon receipt of Company Order shall authenticate, a replacement Note. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond reasonably sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.07, 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 2.07 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of (and shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time include and are limited to all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except (i) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or required to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.10, (ii) Notes, or portions thereof, the principal of which has become due and payable on the Maturity Date, on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or otherwise, and in respect of which monies in the necessary amount shall have been deposited in trust with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent

(other than the Company) or shall have been set aside and segregated in trust by the Company (if the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent), (iii) Notes, or portions thereof, that have been converted pursuant to Article 11 and that are required to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.10 and (iv) Notes repurchased by the Company, directly or indirectly, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries, pursuant to Section 2.14 (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives). For the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles 7 and 10) only outstanding Notes shall be considered in any such determination. In addition, for the purpose of any such determination, Notes that are owned by the Company, by any Subsidiary thereof or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Trust Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 2.08 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Subsidiary thereof or a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 2.09 Temporary Notes. Until Certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed) (“Temporary Notes”). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of Certificated Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such Temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Certificated Notes. Without unreasonable delay the Company will prepare, execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Certificated Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all Temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 2.04 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the Temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Certificated Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.10 Cancellation. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase (including pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 2.14, other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives that are not physically settled), registration of transfer or exchange, or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it, and no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange therefor except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order.

Section 2.11 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered in the Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, for the purpose of conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, subject to Section 2.08 and Section 2.12(a)(ii), whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.12 Transfer of the Notes.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, (A) any transfer of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Sections 2.06 and 2.12(a)(i); and (B) any exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note shall comply with Sections 2.06 and 2.12(a)(ii). All such transfers and exchanges shall comply with the Applicable Procedures to the extent so required.

(i) Transfer of Global Note. A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no transfer of a Global Note to any other Person may be registered; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Note that is issued in exchange for a Global Note but is not itself a Global Note. No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this Section 2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.12(a).

(ii) Restrictions on Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note.

(A) A Certificated Note will be issued and delivered:

(1) to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related Notes only if (a) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such

notice; or (b) DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such cessation; or

(2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to each beneficial owner who requests that its beneficial interests in the Notes be exchanged for Certificated Notes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in the Notes, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any beneficial owner of a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such beneficial owner’s right to exchange its beneficial interest in such Global Note for a Certificated Note in accordance with this Section 2.12(a)(ii).

In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Note for Certificated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

(B) Upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions from the Holder of a Global Note directing the Registrar to (x) issue one or more Certificated Notes in the amounts specified to the owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note and (y) debit or cause to be debited an equivalent amount of beneficial interest in such Global Note, subject to the Applicable Procedures:

(1) the Registrar shall notify the Company and the Trustee of such instructions and identify the owner of and the amount of such beneficial interest in such Global Note;

(2) the Company shall promptly execute, and upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to such beneficial owner of any Certificated Notes in an equivalent amount to such beneficial interest in such Global Note; and

(3) the Registrar shall decrease such Global Note by such amount in accordance with the foregoing.

(iii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Certificated Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate

principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Note and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Note to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Note so cancelled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(b) None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(c) None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Note, a DTC participant or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any DTC participant, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any DTC participant, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of the Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the Applicable Procedures, other than the right of a beneficial owner to exchange its beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(ii). The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. Subject to the exceptions set forth in the second preceding sentence, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to deal with DTC, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered Holder of any Global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Note (including the payment of principal and interest and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Note) as the sole holder of such Global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of DTC with respect to such Global Note, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Note, for any transactions between the DTC and any DTC participant or between or among DTC, any such DTC participant and/or any

Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Note, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Note or shall impair, as between DTC and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of DTC (or its nominee) as a Holder of such Global Note.

Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

(a) The Company, in issuing the Notes, shall use restricted CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers for such Notes (if then generally in use) until such time as the Restricted Securities Legend is removed therefrom. At such time as the legend is removed from such Notes, the Company will use an unrestricted CUSIP number for such Note, but only with respect to the Notes where so removed. The Company and the Trustee may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number that appears on any Note, check, advice of payment or notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any action taken in connection with such a notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in the event of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers.

Section 2.14 Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue price and the date from which interest will accrue on such additional Notes and as to the Issue Date with respect to such additional Notes in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes or securities law purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number.

In addition, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel which shall cover such matters required by Section

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes or elsewhere in this Indenture, at the election of the Company, the sole remedy of Holders for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to file reports, information or documents with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.02(a) (the “Company’s Filing Obligations”) shall for the first 90 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default (beginning on, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs), consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes outstanding for each day during such 90-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing (in addition to any Additional Interest that may be payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement). If the Company makes such election to pay Additional Interest, such Additional Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following the date on which such Event of Default first occurred in the same manner as stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 91st day following the date on which such Event of Default first occurred (if the failure to comply with the Company’s Filing Obligations is not

cured or waived prior to such 91st day), the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02. The provisions contained in this Section 7.01(c) shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 7.01(c) or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes will immediately be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02. In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy for the first 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with the Company’s Filing Obligations, the Company must notify, in the manner provided for in Section 15.01, all Holders of Notes, the Paying Agent and the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the date on which such Event of Default first occurs (which notice shall include a statement as to the date from which Additional Interest is payable and, in the case of the Trustee, shall be delivered to its Corporate Trust Office and shall make explicit reference to this Indenture, the Notes and the Company). Unless and until a Trust Officer receives at the Corporate Trust Office such notice, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Additional Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest. Upon failure by the Company to timely give such notice to pay such Additional Interest, or if the Company has provided such notice but has failed to pay such Additional Interest, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02. If Additional Interest has been paid by the Company directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

Section 7.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(ix) or 7.01(a)(x) with respect to the Company or any of the Guarantors) occurs and is continuing, and in each and every such case, except for any Notes the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such a declaration, the same shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(ix) or 7.01(a)(x) occurs with respect to the Company or any of the Guarantors, 100% of the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding shall, automatically and without any notice or other action by the Trustee or any Holder, be and become immediately due and payable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, and without notice to any other Holder, may rescind any acceleration of the Notes if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest on the Notes that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived. Any such rescission shall not affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, accrued and unpaid

interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the Notes or to enforce the payment and performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture (including for sums owed to the Trustee and its agents and counsel).

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 7.04 Waiver of Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company and without notice to any other Holder, may waive any current or past Default or Event of Default, except with respect to (a) any failure by the Company to pay the principal of or accrued interest on the Notes (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable), (b) any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations to purchase Notes when required to do so under Article 3, (c) any failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (d) any covenant or provision of this Indenture or the Notes that under Section 10.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Holders. Any such waiver shall not affect any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided that (i) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or would involve the Trustee in personal liability and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense caused by taking such action.

Section 7.06 Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce its rights as provided in Section 7.07, no Holder may institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding shall have made a written request to the Trustee to take such action;

(c) such Holder or Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs and other liabilities of compliance with such written request;

(d) the Trustee shall not have complied with such written request during the first 60 days after receiving such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity; and

(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall not have given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such use prejudices the rights of such other Holder or obtains a preference or priority over such Holder).

Section 7.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment; Suit Therefor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (i) the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on, and (iii) the consideration due upon conversion of, its Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, and such right to receive such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder and shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 7.06. Payments of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, cash due upon conversion (if any), and principal and interest that are not made when due shall accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate from the applicable required payment date.

Section 7.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(i) or 7.01(a)(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest, if any, to the extent lawful) and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel and any other the amounts provided for in Section 8.06.

Section 7.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may 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 and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06.

Section 7.10 Priorities. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 with respect to the Notes and any other monies or property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture following an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(ix) or Section 7.01(a)(x) with respect to the Company shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) for amounts due under Section 8.06;

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the cash deliverable upon conversion of the Notes then submitted for conversion, as the case may be, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the Notes; and

THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 7.10.

Section 7.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 7.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 7.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding.

Section 7.12 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 8.
TRUSTEE

Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default known to the Trustee:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied duties, covenants, responsibilities or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether they conform to the requirements set forth in this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein).

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this sub-section (c) does not limit the effect of the remainder of this Section 8.01;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 7.05 hereof, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture absent negligence or willful misconduct.

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, other than a failure by the Company to make any payment on the Notes when due, unless (i) written notice of such default or Event of Default from the

Company or any Holder is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture or (ii) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof.

Section 8.02 Rights of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document. The Trustee may, however, in its discretion make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole expense of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting at the direction of the Company, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel and may conclusively rely upon such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Trustee may act through agents, attorneys or custodians and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent, attorney or custodian appointed with due care hereunder.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

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

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder, including, without limitation, the Registrar, Paying Agents, Bid Solicitation Agent and Conversion Agent.

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

(j) Anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit), even if the Trustee has been advised as to the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

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

Section 8.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of the Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company), Conversion Agent or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 8.10.

Section 8.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, sufficiency, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Company’s compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty, or covenant, or agreement of any Person, other than the Trustee, made in this Indenture.

Section 8.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder notice of such Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs, or if later, promptly after the Trustee obtains knowledge of such Default; provided that except in the case of a Default described in Section 7.01(a)(i), 7.01(a)(ii) or 7.01(a)(iii), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 8.06 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon from time to time in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, fees and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts and of all Persons not regularly in its employ. The Company shall hold harmless and fully indemnify the Trustee in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Indenture, the trust created hereby and the performance of its duties hereunder in any capacity, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person). The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, custodians, successors and assigns.

(b) To secure the Company’s payment obligations under this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay the principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on particular Notes.

(c) The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. If the Trustee incurs expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(ix) or Section 7.01(a)(x) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under applicable bankruptcy laws.

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

(e) The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the termination for any reason of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 8.07 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by notifying the Company in writing and by mailing notice thereof to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor

Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, at the expense of the Company, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in either case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor Trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor Trustee, unless within ten days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as specified in clause (a) above, may at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 8.08.

Section 8.08 Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor

Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights and powers of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held in trust to pay the principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06.

No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.10.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, each of the Company and the successor Trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

Section 8.09 Successor Trustee by Merger.

(a) If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets (including administration of this Indenture) to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that if such successor Trustee is not eligible to act as Trustee pursuant to Section 8.10, such successor Trustee shall promptly resign pursuant to Section 8.07.

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

Section 8.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee must be a Person who is eligible to act as an indenture trustee under the TIA and must have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined

capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.

ARTICLE 9.
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 9.01 Discharge of Liability on Notes. When (a) the Company delivers to the Registrar all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (b) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, any Fundamental Change Purchase Date, upon conversion or otherwise, and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee or delivers to the Holders, as applicable, cash (and/or, if applicable, shares of Common Stock, solely to satisfy outstanding conversions) sufficient to pay, or, if applicable, satisfy the Company’s Conversion Obligation with respect to, all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and, in either case, the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the outstanding Notes, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.06, cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes or any Holders. At the cost and expense of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel.

ARTICLE 10.

Any amendment or supplement to this Indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02.

Section 10.02 With Consent of Holders. With the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), by Act of such Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or may prospectively waive compliance with any provisions of the Notes or this Indenture; provided, however, that, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby, no amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes may:

(a) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment of this Indenture;

(b) reduce the rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note;

(d) make any change that impairs or adversely affects the conversion rights of any Notes under Article 11 hereof or reduces the consideration due upon conversion;

(e) reduce the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Note or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the Holders the Company’s obligation to make such payments;

(f) make any Note payable in a currency other than that stated in the Note;

(g) change the ranking of the Notes;

(h) modify or amend the terms and conditions of the obligations of the Guarantors as guarantors of the Notes in a manner that is adverse to the rights of the Holders of the Notes;

(i) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, and interest on, such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or

(j) make any change to this Section 10.02 or to Section 7.04.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

Section 10.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the request of the Company, the Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 10 if the amendment contained therein does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee. If the supplemental indenture adversely affects the Trustee’s rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture, then the Trustee may, but need not, sign such supplemental indenture. In executing any supplemental indenture hereto, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to the provisions of Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent have been satisfied in connection with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, which requirements shall be non-waiveable by the Trustee.

Section 10.04 Notices of Supplemental Indentures. After an amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes pursuant to Section 10.01 or 10.02 becomes effective, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement to this Indenture. The failure to deliver such notice, or any defect in such notice, shall not impair or affect the validity of such amendment or supplement to this Indenture.

Section 10.05 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 10, (a) this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, (b) such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes, and (c) every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

Section 10.06 Notation on or Exchange of the Notes.

If the Company shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 11.
CONVERSIONS

Section 11.01 Conversion Privilege and Consideration.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, a Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of its Notes, or any portion of such principal amount that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (i) subject to satisfaction of one or more of the conditions described in Section 11.01(b), at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2019 during the periods set forth in Section 11.01(b), and (ii) irrespective of the conditions described in Section 11.01(b), on or after December 1, 2019 and prior to the Close of Business on the second

Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 36.3636 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 11, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 11.03, the “Conversion Obligation”).

(b)

(i) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2019, the Notes may be surrendered, in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, for conversion during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after September 30, 2015, if, for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on such Trading Day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable Conversion Price on such Trading Day (such condition, the “Sale Price Condition”). If the Sale Price Condition has been met, the Company will promptly notify Holders and the Conversion Agent that such condition has been met and of the resulting right of the Holders to convert their Notes.

(ii) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2019, the Notes may be surrendered, in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, for conversion during the five consecutive Business Day period immediately following any five consecutive Trading Day period (that five day consecutive Trading Day period, the “Measurement Period”) in which, for each Trading Day of such Measurement Period, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11.01(b)(ii) and the definition of “Trading Price” in Section 1.01), was less than 98% of the product of (x) the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on such Trading Day and (y) the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day (such product, the “Intrinsic Value,” and such condition, the “Trading Price Condition”). The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this Section 11.01(b)(ii) and the definition of Trading Price in Section 1.01. The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company pursuant to the definition of “Trading Price” in Section 1.01, along with appropriate contact information for each.

(A) The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the Company has requested that the Bid Solicitation Agent determine the Trading Price of the Notes. The Company shall have no obligation to make such a request (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price) unless a Holder of at least $2,000,000 principal amount of the Notes (x) provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the Intrinsic Value of the Notes for such Trading Day and (y) requests that the Company request the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the

Trading Price of the Notes (or requests that the Company determine the Trading Price of the Notes if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent).

(B) Upon receipt from a Holder of such evidence and such a request, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine) the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until a Trading Day occurs on which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such Trading Day is greater than or equal to 98% of the Intrinsic Value of the Notes for such Trading Day.

(C) If the Trading Price Condition has been met on any last Trading Day of the Measurement Period, the Company shall notify Holders and the Conversion Agent in writing, on or prior to the Business Day immediately following such Trading Day, of its satisfaction and of the resulting right of Holders to convert their Notes. If, on any Trading Day after the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Bid Solicitation Agent (or the Company, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent) determines that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such Trading Day is greater than or equal to 98% of the Intrinsic Value of the Notes for such Trading Day, the Company shall promptly so notify the Holders and the Conversion Agent in writing that the Trading Price Condition is no longer met.

(iii) If the Company elects to:

(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or

(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,

then, in each case, at least 45 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution, the Company shall mail notice to the Holders and the Conversion Agent describing such issuance or distribution, the Holders’ rights to convert their Notes in accordance with this Section 11.01(b)(iii), the Conversion Rate in effect on the date the Company mails such notice, and the effective date for any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that may be made as a result of such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Notes, in

principal amounts equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, for conversion at any time until the earlier of (x) the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date and (y) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place. Holders of the Notes may not exercise this conversion right if they will participate (as a result of holding the Notes at the same time and on the same terms as Common Stock holders participate) in any of the transactions described above as if such Holder of the Notes held a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount of Notes held by such Holders divided by $1,000, without having to convert their Notes.

(iv) If the Company or any third party publicly announces a transaction or event that would, if consummated, constitute a Fundamental Change, a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Share Exchange Event, or if any such transaction or event occurs (regardless of whether the Holders would have the right to require the Company to purchase their Notes pursuant to Article 3), the Company shall mail notice (a “Specified Corporate Transaction Notice”) of such specified corporate transaction or event to the Holders and the Conversion Agent promptly following the first public announcement of such transaction or event or, in the case that no public announcement is made, the occurrence of such transaction or event. Upon receiving notice or otherwise becoming aware of a transaction or event that would, if consummated, constitute a Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Share Exchange Event, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to announce or cause the announcement of such transaction or event in time to deliver the related Specified Corporate Transaction Notice at least 45 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date for such transaction or event; provided that in no event will the Company be required to provide such notice to the Holders and the Conversion Agent before the earlier of such time as the Company or its Affiliates (a) have publicly disclosed or acknowledged the circumstances giving rise to such transaction or event and (b) are required to publicly disclose under applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed the circumstances giving rise to such transaction or event. For any such potential Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Share Exchange Event, the Specified Corporate Transaction Notice shall describe:

(A) the transaction or event;

(B) the anticipated effective date of such transaction or event;

(D) the Conversion Rate in effect on the date the Company mails such notice;

(E) that an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is expected to be made pursuant to Section 11.05 as a result of such transaction or event and the formula for determining such adjustment;

(F) whether the relevant transaction or event is expected to constitute a Share Exchange Event, and, if so, that the Notes will become convertible into Reference Property, subject to the settlement provisions of this Indenture;

(G) whether the relevant transaction or event is expected to constitute a Fundamental Change, and, if so, that Holders will have the right to require the Company to purchase their Notes pursuant to Article 3; and

(H) whether the relevant transaction or event is expected to constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, and, if so, that the Conversion Rate will be increased under Section 11.07 for Notes converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Upon the Company’s delivery of a Specified Corporate Transaction Notice, a Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion at any time until the 35th Trading Day immediately following the effective date of such transaction or event or, if such transaction or event constitutes a Fundamental Change, the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

Section 11.02 Conversion Procedure.

(a) To convert a Note or portion thereof, a Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, must (i) in the case of a Global Note, (a) comply with the procedures of the Depositary then in effect for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Note and (b) if applicable, pay all funds required under Section 11.02(g) and 11.02(h) below, and (ii) in the case of a Certificated Note, (a) complete and manually sign the Form of Notice of Conversion attached to such Certificated Note (a “Notice of Conversion”) or a facsimile of the Notice of Conversion, (b) deliver the Notice of Conversion, which is irrevocable, and the Certificated Note to the Conversion Agent, (c) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, (d) if applicable, pay all funds required under Section 11.02(h) below, and (e) if applicable, pay all funds required under Section 11.02(g) below.

(b) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted at the Close of Business on the first Business Day (the “Conversion Date”) on which (i) the Holder thereof satisfies all of the requirements set forth in Section 11.02(a) with respect to such Note and (ii) the conversion of such Note is not otherwise prohibited by Section 3.04(a) hereof.

(c) If the last day during any period on which a Note may be converted is not a Business Day, the Note may be surrendered on the immediately following day that is a Business Day. Upon the conversion of a Note, the Conversion Agent, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than one Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for the Note, will provide the Company with notice of the conversion of the Note, and the Company, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than two Business Days after such Conversion Date, will notify the Trustee, if other than the Conversion Agent, of the conversion of the Note.

(d) If a Holder converts the entire principal amount of a Note, such Person will no longer be a Holder of such Note, except that (i) such Holder shall have the right hereunder to receive the consideration due upon conversion and (ii) if the relevant Conversion Date occurred

between a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Holder of record of such Note shall have the right to receive the related interest payment on such Interest Payment Date.

(e) If a Holder surrenders only a portion of a Certificated Note for conversion, promptly after the Conversion Date for such portion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a Company Order authenticate and deliver to such Holder, a new Certificated Note in an authorized denomination equal to the aggregate principal amount of the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note. Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee shall promptly make a notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Notes” of such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing upon any conversion of a Note effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(f) If any shares of Common Stock are to be delivered upon conversion, a converting Holder (or its designee) shall be treated as the holder of record of such shares as of the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period for such Note (in the case of Combination Settlement).

(g) Notwithstanding Section 11.03(c), if a Holder converts its Note after the Close of Business on a Record Date but prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Record Date, the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Record Date shall receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the interest payment payable on such Note on such Interest Payment Date, however, Notes surrendered for conversion during such period must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on such Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that no such payment need be made: (i) if such a Note is surrendered for conversion after the Close of Business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after such Record Date and on or prior to such corresponding Interest Payment Date and such Note is surrendered for conversion after such Record Date and on or prior to such corresponding Interest Payment Date, or (iii) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any Defaulted Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. As a result of the foregoing, the Company shall pay interest on the Maturity Date on all Notes converted after the Close of Business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, and converting Holders shall not be required to pay to the Company equivalent interest amounts. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all record Holders of Notes on the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date and any Fundamental Change Purchase Date as described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, respectively, will receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Record Date.

(h) If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon such conversion; provided that if such tax is due because such converting Holder requested that such shares of Common Stock be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name, such Holder shall pay such tax.

Section 11.03 Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Except as provided in Section 11.07(e), upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11.03(a)(vi) (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11.03(a)(vi) (“Combination Settlement”), at the Company’s election (each of these settlement methods a “Settlement Method”).

(i) All conversions whose Conversion Date occurs on or after December 1, 2019 shall be settled using the same Settlement Method. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Conversion Dates, and the Company may elect one Settlement Method with respect to one Conversion Date and another Settlement Method with respect to another Conversion Date.

(ii) The Company shall deliver a notice (the “Settlement Method Notice”) of the Settlement Method elected by the Company in respect of any Conversion Date or any of the periods described below by written notice to the converting Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, prior to the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, (or, in the case of any other conversion whose Conversion Date is on or after December 1, 2019, no later than the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding December 1, 2019).

(iii) Any Settlement Method Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Method Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount. If the Company does not timely deliver a Settlement Method Notice prior to the deadline set forth in Section 11.03(a)(ii), the Company shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation for such conversion, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be equal to $1,000. If the Company elects Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation in respect of a conversion but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount in the relevant Settlement Method Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be $1,000 in respect of such conversion.

(iv) The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of the Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

(A) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to

the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 11.03(a)(vi);

(B) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 40 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(C) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 40 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Observation Period.

(v) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional share, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(vi) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion Date (or, if such date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day) in the case of Physical Settlement, or based on the Daily VWAP on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period in the case of Combination Settlement. For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the applicable Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

(vii) Except as set forth in Section 11.06 and Section 11.07, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation (y) on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Company elects Physical Settlement, or (z) on the third Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method.

(b) If a Holder surrenders more than one Note for conversion on a single Conversion Date, the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Company will deliver, and the amount of cash that the Company will pay pursuant to Section 11.03(a)(vi) in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock, if any, shall be determined based on the total principal amount of Notes so surrendered by such Holder.

(c) If a Holder converts a Note, except as set forth in Section 11.02(g), (i) such Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment (in addition to the Conversion Obligation) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Note and (ii) the Company’s delivery to such converting Holder of the Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full the Company’s obligation to pay to such Holder (A) the principal amount of such converted Note and (B) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, subject to Section 11.02(g), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on a converted Note to but, excluding, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of the Notes, subject to Section 11.02(g), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion, if any.

(d) Notices.

(i) On or prior to the second Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for any Notes, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Trustee stating (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date, (2) whether the Company has made a Settlement Method election with respect to such Conversion Date, and (3) if the Company has made a Settlement Method election for such Conversion Date, the Specified Dollar Amount for such Conversion Date (if applicable).

(ii) On the first Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for each Conversion Date to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Trustee stating (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes that were converted on such Conversion Date, (2) the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate number of Shares that the Company is obligated to deliver to settle all of the Notes converted on such Conversion Date, and (3) the Daily Conversion Values or Daily Settlement Amounts, as the case may be, for each VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such Conversion Date.

Section 11.04 Covenants Relating to Underlying Shares.

(a) The Company shall, until all Notes cease to be outstanding and any consideration due upon conversion has been paid or delivered, as the case may be, reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that have not been reserved for other purposes a number of shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, equal to the product of the Maximum Conversion Rate and the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding (expressed in thousands of dollars), to permit the conversion of the Notes.

(b) The Company covenants that any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive rights and shall be free of any lien or adverse claim or from any taxes or charges with respect to the issue thereof.

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

(d) In addition, the Company will cause any such shares of Common Stock to be listed on any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed (if any) and will comply with any securities exchange rules applicable to the Notes and/or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 11.05 Adjustments to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as described in this Section 11.05, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate for any Holder that participates (as a result of holding the Notes, and at the same time as the holders of Common Stock participate) in any of the transactions described below as if such Holder held, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, without having to convert its Notes.

(a) Dividends, Distributions, Splits and Combinations. If the Ex-Dividend Date occurs for any issuance by the Company of solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or a share combination of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	CR1 = CR0 x	OS1
	CR1 = CR0 x	OS0

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as the case may be;

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as the case may be; and

OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this Section 11.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date for such share split or combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 11.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate shall immediately be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend or distribution not been declared or announced. The “effective date,” with respect to a share split or combination, means the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade in the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, reflecting the relevant share split or share combination, as applicable.

(b) Adjustment for Rights Issue. If the Ex-Dividend Date occurs for any issuance by the Company to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of any rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of such rights, options or warrants for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	CR1 = CR0 x	OS0 + X
	CR1 = CR0 x	OS0 + Y

where:

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

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

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants;

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by (ii) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any adjustment made under this Section 11.05(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date of such expiration, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If no such rights, options or warrants are so issued, or if no such rights, options or warrants are exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall immediately be readjusted, as of the scheduled issuance date, to equal the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the relevant adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.05(b) not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 11.05(b) and Section 11.01(b)(iii)(A), in determining whether any issued rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration that the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(i) If the Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution by the Company of shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, excluding (A) dividends or distributions (including share splits) described in Section 11.05(a); (B) dividends or distributions of rights, options or warrants described in Section 11.05(b); (C) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in Section 11.05(d); and (D) Spin-Offs described in Section 11.05(c)(ii) (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	CR1 = CR0 x	XX0
	CR1 = CR0 x	XX0 – FMV

where:

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

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

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

FMV= the fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors, of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “SP0” (as defined above) minus “FMV” (as defined above) is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received as if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution.

Any adjustment made under this Section 11.05(c)(i) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, or if any rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration date, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such distribution or as of such expiration date, as the case may be, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such distribution not been declared or to the extent such rights, options or warrants are not exercised, as applicable.

(ii) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.05(c), if the relevant dividend or other distribution consists of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company that is listed for trading or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the spin-off) on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange or a reasonably comparable (as determined by the Board of Directors) non-U.S. equivalent (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

	CR1 = CR0 x	FMV0 + MP0
	CR1 = CR0 x	MP0

where:

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

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

FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to a holder of one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first ten consecutive Trading

Day period immediately following, but excluding, the effective date for the Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a Holder converts a Note, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable to such Note and the first VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period occurs after the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for a Spin-Off, but on or before the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount due upon such conversion, the reference in the above definition of “FMV0” to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the first VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period; (ii) if a Holder converts a Note, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable to such Note and one or more VWAP Trading Days of the Observation Period for such Note occurs on or after the Ex-Dividend Date for a Spin-Off but on or prior to the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount due upon such conversion, such Observation Period will be suspended from, and including, the first such VWAP Trading Day to, and including, the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off and will resume immediately after the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, with the reference in the above definition of “FMV0” to ten consecutive Trading Days deemed replaced with a reference to one (1) Trading Day; (iii) if a Holder converts a Note, Physical Settlement is applicable to such Note and the Conversion Date occurs during the period from, but excluding, the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for a Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the consideration due upon such conversion, the reference in the above definition of “FMV0” to ten consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the applicable Conversion Date; and (iv) if a Holder converts a Note, Physical Settlement is applicable to such Note and the Conversion Date occurs during the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for a Spin-Off to, and including, the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount due upon such conversion, (a) the reference in the above definition of “FMV0” to ten consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with a reference to one (1) Trading Day, (b) the Company will deliver the Settlement Amount due to such Holder in respect of the applicable conversion on the third Business Day after the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, (c) the relevant Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off and (d) the Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable in respect of the applicable conversion will be deemed to become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11.05(c)(ii) shall become effective as of the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. If such Spin-Off is

subsequently cancelled and does not become effective, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date of such cancellation, to be the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such Spin-Off had not been declared.

For purposes of this Section 11.05(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 11.05(i)), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 11.05(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.05(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 11.05(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.05(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 11.05(a), Section 11.05(b) and this Section 11.05(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 11.05(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 11.05(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 11.05(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 11.05(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 11.05(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 11.05(a) and Section 11.05(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date” within the meaning of Section 11.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 11.05(b).

(d) Adjustment for Cash Distributions. If the Ex-Dividend Date occurs for any cash dividend or distribution by the Company to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed the applicable Dividend Threshold for the calendar year during which such Ex-Dividend date falls, and which is subject to adjustment as described below), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	CR1 = CR0 x	SP0 – T
	CR1 = CR0 x	SP0 – C

where:

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

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

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

T = the applicable Dividend Threshold; provided, that if the dividend or distribution is not a regular quarterly cash dividend, then the Dividend Threshold will be deemed to be zero; and

C = the amount in cash per share that the Company pays or distributes to holders of Common Stock.

If “SP0” (as defined above) minus “C” (as defined above) is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash such

Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such dividend or distribution.

Any adjustment made under this Section 11.05(d) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the related Ex-Dividend Date not occurred.

(e) Adjustment for Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment to holders of Common Stock in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than (x) distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 11.05(d) or (y) an odd-lot tender offer), 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 Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

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

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration Date;

CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Expiration Date;

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

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration time of such tender or exchange offer (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer);

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

SP1 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date (the “Averaging Period”).

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.05(e) will be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if a Holder converts a Note, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable to such Note, and the first VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such Note occurs after the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for a tender or exchange offer, but on or before the last Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount due upon such conversion, the reference in the above definition of “SP1” to “ten” shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer to, but excluding, the first VWAP Trading Day of such Observation Period; (ii) if a Holder converts a Note, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable to such Note and one or more VWAP Trading Days of the Observation Period for such Note occurs on or after the Expiration Date for a tender or exchange offer, but on or prior to the first Trading Day in the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount due upon such conversion, such Observation Period will be suspended on the first such VWAP Trading Day and will resume immediately after the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer and the reference in the above definition of “SP1” to “ten” shall be deemed replaced with a reference to “one (1)”; (iii) if a Holder converts a Note, Physical Settlement is applicable to such Note and the Conversion Date occurs during the period from, but excluding, the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for a tender or exchange offer to, and including, the last Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount due upon such conversion, the reference in the above definition of “SP1” to “ten” shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer to, but excluding, the applicable Conversion Date; and (iv) if a Holder converts a Note, Physical Settlement is applicable to such Note and the Conversion Date occurs during the period from, but excluding, the Expiration Date for a tender offer or exchange offer to, and including, the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Settlement Amount due upon such conversion, (a) the reference in the above definition of “SP1” to “ten” shall be deemed replaced with a reference to “one (1)”, (b) the Company will deliver the consideration due to such Holder in respect of the applicable conversion on the third Business Day after the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer, (c) the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer and (d) the Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable in respect of the applicable conversion will be deemed to become the Holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on the first Trading Day of the Averaging Period for such tender or exchange offer.

(f) Holder Participation in Adjustment Events. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in clauses (a) through (e) above, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described above, and a Holder that has converted its Notes with a Conversion Date occurring on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related

Conversion Date based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the foregoing Conversion Rate adjustment provisions, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(g) Adjustments Not Yet Effective. If, in the case of any conversion of a Note to which Combination Settlement applies, on any VWAP Trading Day during the Observation Period corresponding to the Conversion Date for such Note, shares of Common Stock are deliverable as part of the Daily Settlement Amount for such VWAP Trading Day, and

(i) the record date for any issuance, dividend or distribution, the effective date for any share split or combination or the Expiration Date for any tender or exchange offer by the Company or its Subsidiaries that, in each case, would require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to any of Section 11.05(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) occurs prior to the Company’s delivery of such shares of Common Stock to the converting Holder;

(ii) the applicable Conversion Rate for such VWAP Trading Day will not reflect such adjustment; and

(iii) the shares of Common Stock that the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder with respect to such VWAP Trading Day are not entitled to participate in the relevant event (because such shares were not held by such Holder on the related record date, effective date, Expiration Date or otherwise),

then the Company will (i) in the case of any such issuance, dividend or distribution, deliver to the Holder of such Note, on the date on which such issuance, dividend or distribution is paid or made, the consideration that a Holder of a number of shares equal to the number of shares included in the Daily Settlement Amount for such VWAP Trading Day would be entitled to receive in respect of such issuance, dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of any such share split or combination, tender offer or exchange offer, adjust the number of shares that the Company delivers to such Holder as part of the Daily Settlement Amount for such VWAP Trading Day in a manner that appropriately (as determined by the Company in consultation with a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm, which may be one of the Initial Purchasers, retained for this purpose) reflects the relevant transaction or event.

(h) Other Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including an Observation Period and, if applicable, the period for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Company will make appropriate adjustments to each in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, the effective date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.

(i) Shareholder Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a shareholder rights plan in effect at the time a Holder converts any Notes, if Physical Settlement applies to such Notes, on the Conversion Date for such Notes, and, if Combination Settlement applies to such Notes, in respect of any VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period applicable to such Notes, such Holder will be deemed to be the record holder of, and, in addition to any Common Stock the Company delivers in connection with such conversion for such Conversion Date or such VWAP Trading Day, as the case may be, receive on the applicable conversion settlement date, the rights under the shareholder rights plan, unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock prior to such Conversion Date or such VWAP Trading Day, as the case may be, in which case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed to all of the holders of Common Stock, shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants as described in Section 11.05(c); provided that such adjustment shall be subject to readjustment upon the expiration, termination or redemption of such separated rights in accordance with Section 11.05(c).

(j) No Adjustments. Except as stated herein, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted (i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan; (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding clause (ii) and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued; (iv) upon the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open-market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described under clause (e) of Section 11.05; (v) solely for a change in the par value of Common Stock; or (vi) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent; provided, however, that any such minor adjustments that are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made shall be made upon the occurrence of (i) the effective date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (ii) in the case of any Note to which Physical Settlement applies or to which Cash Settlement applies following a replacement of Common Stock by the Reference Property consisting solely of cash, prior to the Close of Business on the Conversion Date, (iii) in the case of any Note to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies (other than as described in clause (ii) above), prior to the Open of Business on the first VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period and each subsequent VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period, and (iv) prior to the Close of Business on any other date on which the Conversion Rate is referred to for purposes of determining the consideration deliverable upon settlement of a Note. In addition, the Company

shall not account for such deferrals when determining whether any of the conditions to conversion have been satisfied or what number of shares of Common Stock a Holder would have held on a given day had it converted its Notes.

(k) Voluntary Increases. In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 11.05, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and any applicable securities exchange rules, from time to time, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate of the Notes by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days (i) if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the best interest of the Company or (ii) to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or a similar event; provided that the Company shall not take any action that would result in adjustment of the Conversion Rate, pursuant to this Section 11.05(k), that would result in a reduction of the Conversion Price to less than the par value per share of Common Stock. The Company will give the Trustee and the Holders at least 15 days’ notice of any such increase.

(l) No Adjustments Resulting in Decrease. If the application of the foregoing formulas in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 11.05 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a share combination pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 11.05 or the reversal of an increase to the Conversion Rate where the relevant event did not occur, as expressly specified in this Indenture).

(m) Notice of Certain Potential Events. In connection with any event that will require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 11.05 or any Share Exchange Event or any event or transaction described in Section 6.01 (unless prior notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall, promptly following the first public announcement of such event or transaction, mail to the Holders a notice of such transaction or event describing the event, the anticipated occurrence or effective date, as the case may be, the methodology for determining the relevant adjustment (if applicable) to the Conversion Rate or other terms of the Notes and such other information as the Company reasonably determines is appropriate to include.

(n) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate, detailing the calculation of the Conversion Rate and describing the facts upon which the adjustment is based upon which such Officer’s Certificate the Trustee may conclusively rely. Unless and until a Trust Officer shall have received such Officer’s 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. Neither the Trustee nor Conversion Agent shall be responsible for, and shall not make any representation as to the validity or value of, any Common Stock, securities or assets issued upon settlement of the Notes or as to the accuracy of any calculation made hereunder. 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 such adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Register.

Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment. In addition, the Company will issue a press release containing the relevant information or make such information available on the Company’s website.

Section 11.06 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

(a) In the case of:

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

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

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

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Share Exchange Event” and any such stock, other securities or other property or assets, “Reference Property,” and the amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Share Exchange Event, a “Reference Property Unit”), then the Company or the successor or purchasing company, as the case may be, shall execute a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee providing that, at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the consideration due upon conversion of any Notes, and the conditions to any such conversion, will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in Article 11 were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units.

If a Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property shall be deemed to be the weighted average, per share of Common Stock, of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election, and (ii) the Reference Property Unit for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. In connection with any adjustment to the Conversion Rate described above, the Company will also adjust the applicable Dividend Threshold based on the number of shares of Common Stock comprising the Reference Property and (if applicable) the value of any non-stock consideration comprising the Reference Property. If the Reference Property is composed solely of non-stock consideration, the applicable Dividend Threshold will be zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then the

Company will be deemed to elect Cash Settlement in respect of all conversions whose Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of the Share Exchange Event described above, and the Company will pay the cash due upon such conversions no later than the third Business Day after the Conversion Date. For these purposes, the Daily VWAP or Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide, to the extent the Reference Property is comprised, in whole or in part, of Common Equity, for anti-dilution and other adjustments that are as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 11. If the Reference Property in respect of any Share Exchange Event includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or, in the case of a transaction described in Article 6, the Successor Company, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of Notes, including the right of Holders to require the Company to purchase their Notes upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to Article 3, as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

(b) If the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 11.06, as promptly as practicable, the Company shall file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly describing such Share Exchange Event, the composition of a Reference Property Unit for such Share Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent to such Share Exchange Event under this Indenture have been complied with. Any failure to deliver such Officer’s Certificate shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The Company shall also issue a press release containing such information and shall make such press release available on its website.

(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 11.06. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes as set forth in Section 11.02 and Section 11.01 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.

(d) The provisions of this Section 11.06 shall apply successively to successive Share Exchange Events.

Section 11.07 Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Certain Transactions.

(a) If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Note in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, in the circumstances described in this Section 11.07, increase the Conversion Rate for such Note by the number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) determined under this Section 11.07. For the purposes of this Section 11.07, a conversion of the Notes shall be deemed to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the Notice of Conversion of such Notes is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the date on which such

Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (such date, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date”) and up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 45th Trading Day immediately following the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date). The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and Conversion Agent promptly of the first public announcement by the Company or a third party of an event or transaction that the Company reasonably determines would, if consummated, constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. Upon receiving notice or otherwise becoming aware of a potential transaction or event that would, if consummated, constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to announce or cause the announcement of such potential Make-Whole Fundamental Change in time to deliver such notice at least 45 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date for such transaction or event; provided that in no event will the Company be required to provide such notice to the Holders, Trustee or Conversion Agent before the earlier of such time as the Company or its Affiliates (a) have publicly disclosed or acknowledged the circumstances giving rise to such transaction and (b) are required to publicly disclose under applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed the circumstances giving rise to such transaction or event.

(b) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased for a Note converted in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table in clause (d) below, based on the relevant Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the stock price paid (or deemed paid) per share of Common Stock in the Fundamental Change, as determined pursuant to clause (e) below (such stock price, the “Stock Price”).

(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in clause (d) below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 11.05. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices in effect 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 in effect immediately after such adjustment. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table in clause (d) below shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 11.05.

(d) The following table sets forth the Stock Prices and Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates and the number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased for a Holder that converts its Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change having such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and Stock Price:

Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective	Stock Price
Date	$22.00	$23.00	$24.00	$25.50	$27.50	$30.00	$32.50	$35.00	$37.50	$40.00	$45.00

June 1, 2017	9.0909	7.7852	6.5927	5.0877	3.5167	2.0987	1.1379	0.5215	0.1707	0.0239	0.0000
June 1, 2018	9.0909	7.7139	6.4652	4.8971	3.2792	1.8509	0.9208	0.3620	0.0824	0.0022	0.0000
June 1, 2019	9.0909	7.5585	6.2103	4.5359	2.8507	1.4386	0.5993	0.1662	0.0134	0.0000	0.0000
June 1, 2020	9.0909	7.1147	5.3031	2.8521	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000

In the event that the exact Stock Price or Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date for a Make-Whole Fundamental Change is not set forth in the table above:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices listed in the table or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates listed in the table, the applicable number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable;

(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $45.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Stock Prices listed in the table), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $22.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Stock Prices listed in the table), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.07, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased as a result of this Section 11.07 to exceed 45.4545 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment at the same time and in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 11.05 (the “Maximum Conversion Rate”).

(e) With respect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

(i) that is described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change and in which the holders of Common Stock receive only cash in consideration for their shares of Common Stock (a “Cash Merger”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.03, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation with respect to any Note converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change by delivering to the converting Holder, on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for such Note, an amount of cash, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Note converted, equal to the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date (as increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to this Section 11.07) and (B) the “Stock Price” with respect to such Cash Merger, which shall be the cash amount per share paid to holders of Common Stock in such Cash Merger; or

(ii) that is not a Cash Merger, (A) the “Stock Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall equal the average of the Last Reported Sale

Prices of Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date, and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation with respect to any Note converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 11.03, based on the Conversion Rate as increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to this Section 11.07.

Section 11.08 Trustee’s Disclaimer. None of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have any duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 11 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. None of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Bid Solicitation Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any of a Fundamental Change, a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a VWAP Market Disruption Event, a Trigger Event, the Sale Price Condition or a Share Exchange Event shall have occurred. None of the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have any liability for, shall be accountable for, or shall have been deemed to make any representation as to the validity or value (of the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, of any Reference Property or of any other securities, property or assets issued upon conversion of the Notes. None of the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or the Bid Solicitation Agent shall be responsible for (i) any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion and (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with this Article 11. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any duty or be obligated to provide notice of any Share Exchange Event to the Holders or any other party.

None of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Bid Solicitation Agent (except for the Bid Solicitation Agent in respect of the calculation of the Trading Price as and to the extent provided in Section 11.01) shall be responsible for calculating the Trading Price, or determining whether any event contemplated by Section 11.01 has occurred which makes the Notes eligible for conversion, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein, in making the same and shall be entitled to presume that no such event has occurred until the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such event has occurred, on such Officer’s Certificate the Trustee may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and any such agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Bid Solicitation Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 10.01(c) relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable for Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any Share Exchange Event or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the

Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Each Conversion Agent and Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have the same protection under this Section 11.08 as the Trustee, the Registrar and the Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 12.
PAYMENT OF INTEREST

Section 12.01 Payment of Interest. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day, commencing December 1, 2015. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid, the Issue Date, to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment Date. Interest on a Note shall be paid to the Holder of record of such Note at the Close of Business on the May 15 or November 15, whether or not a Business Day (each, a “Record Date”), immediately preceding the June 1 or December 1 Interest Payment Date, respectively, and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.

Section 12.02 Defaulted Interest. Any installment of interest that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holders in whose names the Notes were registered on the Record Date applicable to such installment of interest. Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in Sections 12.02(a) or 12.02(b).

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), 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 and the date of the proposed payment, 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 (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) as provided in this Section 12.02(a). Thereupon the Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest), which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than ten calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) and the Special Record

Date therefor to be delivered to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the registration books of the Registrar, not less than ten calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) and the Special Record Date therefor having been delivered as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) shall be paid to the Holders in whose names the Notes are registered at the Close of Business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

(b) Alternatively, the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (including any interest on such Defaulted Interest) in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 12.02(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 12.03 Interest Rights Preserved. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article 12 and, to the extent applicable, Sections 2.06 and 2.07, each Note delivered under this 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.

The Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the person who sent such instructions or directions is, in fact, a person authorized to give instructions or directions on behalf of the Company; and the Trustee shall have no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by the Company as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such notices, instructions, directions or other communications. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit notices, instructions, directions or other communications to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. The Company shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that any such notices, instructions, directions or other communications transmitted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture are complete and correct. As between the Trustee and the Company, any such notices, instructions, directions or other communications shall be conclusively deemed to be valid instructions from the Company to the Trustee for the purposes of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Note (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from such Depositary.

Section 15.02 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

Section 15.03 Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition (except for such Officer’s Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 or Section 7.01(b)) provided for in this Indenture shall include:

(a) a statement that each individual making such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel has read such covenant or condition;

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

Section 15.04 Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then (to the extent permitted by law) the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 15.05 Rules by Trustee. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Holders.

Section 15.07 No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

Section 15.08 Calculations. The Company shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Indenture and under the Notes. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock, Daily VWAPs, Daily Settlement Amounts, Daily Conversion Values, Daily Measurement Values, Specified Dollar Amounts, Stock Prices, Trading Prices (if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent), accrued interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion Rate in effect on any Conversion Date.

The Company shall make these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, such calculations will be final and binding on Holders. The Company shall provide to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a schedule of its calculations, and each of the Trustee and Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder upon the request of such Holder.

All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be.

One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

The Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent and Conversion Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of such person (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

Section 15.13 Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company (a) agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be, may be instituted in any U.S. federal court with applicable subject matter jurisdiction sitting in The City of New York; (b) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and any claim that any suit, action or proceeding in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum; and (c) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding.

Section 15.15 No Security Interest Created.

Section 15.16 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent, any Bid Solicitation Agent, any authenticating agent, any Registrar and their successors hereunder or the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture, other than the right of a beneficial owner to exchange its beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(ii).

[Signature Page to Note]

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

NRG YIELD, INC.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Notes of the Company, designated as its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), initially limited to the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 (as increased by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of any additional Notes purchased by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the exercise of their option to purchase additional Notes as set forth in the Purchase Agreement), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 29, 2015 (the “Indenture”), between the Company, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified 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, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date 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 Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any current or past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and the consideration due upon conversion of,

A-5

this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of the Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange. The Trustee (or, if applicable, such other entity appointed as Registrar in accordance with the terms of the Indenture) need not transfer or exchange any Notes in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Note to be purchased in part, the portion of the Note not to be purchased).

The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund or otherwise.

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

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, based on the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 29, 2015 between the Company and the representative of the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.
