An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 2.03.
			Method of Payment.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Global Notes.  The Company will pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, the principal (whether due upon maturity on the Maturity Date, Redemption on a Redemption Date, Optional Repurchase on an Optional Repurchase Date or repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or otherwise) of, interest on, and any cash Conversion Consideration for, any Global Note to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than the time the same is due as provided in this Indenture.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Physical Notes.  The Company will pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, the principal (whether due upon maturity on the Maturity Date, Redemption on a Redemption Date, Optional Repurchase on an Optional Repurchase Date or repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or otherwise) of, interest on, and any cash Conversion Consideration for, any Physical Note no later than the time the same is due as provided in this Indenture as follows: (i) if the principal amount of such Physical Note is at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) (or such lower amount as the Company may choose in its sole and absolute discretion) and the Holder of such Physical Note entitled to such payment has delivered to the Paying Agent or the Trustee, no later than the time set forth in the immediately following sentence, a written request that the Company make such payment by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account; and (ii) in all other cases, by check mailed to the address of the Holder of such Physical Note entitled to such payment as set forth in the Register.  To be timely, such written request must be so delivered no later than the Close of Business on the following date: (x) with respect to the payment of any interest due on an Interest Payment Date, the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; (y) with respect to any cash Conversion Consideration, the relevant Conversion Date; and (z) with respect to any other payment, the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days immediately before the date such payment is

	due.




			
	
			
				 Section 2.04.
			Accrual of Interest; Defaulted Amounts; When Payment Date is Not a Business Day.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Accrual of Interest.  Each Note will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.00% (the “Stated Interest”), plus any Special Interest that may accrue pursuant to ‎Section 7.03.  Stated Interest on each Note will (i) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which Stated Interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no Stated Interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the date set forth in the certificate representing such Note as the date from, and including, which Stated Interest will begin to accrue in such circumstance) to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Stated Interest; and (ii) be, subject to Sections ‎4.02(D),  ‎4.03(C) and ‎4.04(E) (but without duplication of any payment of interest), payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on the first Interest Payment Date set forth in the certificate representing such Note, to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date.  Stated Interest, and, if applicable, Special Interest, on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Defaulted Amounts.  If the Company fails to pay any amount (a “Defaulted Amount”) payable on a Note on or before the due date therefor as provided in this Indenture, then, regardless of whether such failure constitutes an Event of Default, (i) such Defaulted Amount will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of such Note otherwise entitled to such payment; (ii) to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”) will accrue on such Defaulted Amount at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which Stated Interest accrues, from, and including, such due date to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest; (iii) such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest will be paid on a payment date selected by the Company to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on a special record date selected by the Company, provided that such special record date must be no more than fifteen (15), nor less than ten (10), calendar days before such payment date; and (iv) at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such special record date, the Company will send notice to the Trustee and the Holders that states such special record date, such payment date and the amount of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest to be paid on such payment date.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Delay of Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day.  If the due date for a payment on a Note as provided in this Indenture is not a Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, such payment may be made on the immediately following Business Day and no interest will accrue on such payment as a result of the related delay.  Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a day on which the applicable place of payment is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed will be deemed not to be a “Business Day.”




			
	
			
				 Section 2.05.
			Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.  The Company will maintain (i) an office or agency in the contiguous United States where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”); (ii) an office or agency in the contiguous United States where Notes may be 





		 


		

			-  16  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”); and (iii) an office or agency in the contiguous United States where Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”).  If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then the Trustee will act as such; provided that no office of the Trustee will be an office or agency of the Company for purposes of service of legal process against the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Duties of the Registrar.  The Registrar will keep a record (the “Register”) of the names and addresses of the Holders, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase, Redemption and conversion of Notes.  Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Trustee may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder for all purposes.  The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Co-Agents; Company’s Right to Appoint Successor Registrars, Paying Agents and Conversion Agents.  The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars, co-Paying Agents and co-Conversion Agents, each of whom will be deemed to be a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, under this Indenture.  Subject to ‎Section 2.05(A), the Company may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (including appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act in such capacity) without notice to any Holder.  The Company will notify the Trustee (and, upon request, any Holder) of the name and address of each Note Agent, if any, not a party to this Indenture and will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with each such Note Agent, which agreement will implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Note Agent.




			
	
			
				 (D)
			Initial Appointments.  The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent, the initial Registrar and the initial Conversion Agent.




			
	
			
				 Section 2.06.
			Paying Agent and Conversion Agent to Hold Property in Trust.




		
			The Company will require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that is not the Trustee to agree in writing that such Note Agent will (A) hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by such Note Agent for payment or delivery due on the Notes; and (B) notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery.  The Company, at any time, may, and the Trustee, while any Default continues, may, require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to pay or deliver, as applicable, all money and other property held by it to the Trustee, after which payment or delivery, as applicable, such Note Agent (if not the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for such money or property.  If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then (A) it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent; and (B) references in this Indenture or the Notes to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent holding cash or other property, or to the delivery of cash or other property to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, in each case for payment or delivery to any Holders or the Trustee or with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to refer to cash or other property so segregated and held separately, or to the segregation and separate holding of such cash or other property, respectively.  Upon the 


		 


		

			-  17  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




occurrence of any event pursuant to in clause ‎(ix) or ‎(x) of ‎Section 7.01(A) with respect to the Company (or with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company acting as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent), the Trustee will serve as the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, for the Notes.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 2.07.
			Legends.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Global Note Legend.  Each Global Note will bear the Global Note Legend (or any similar legend, not inconsistent with this Indenture, required by the Depositary for such Global Note).




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Other Legends.  A Note may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as may be required by applicable law or by any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Note is traded or quoted.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Acknowledgement and Agreement by the Holders.  A Holder’s acceptance of any Note bearing any legend required by this ‎Section 2.07 will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgement of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.




			
	
			
				 Section 2.08.
			Transfers and Exchanges.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Subject to this ‎Section 2.08, Physical Notes and beneficial interests in Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time and the Registrar will record each such transfer or exchange in the Register.




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Each Note issued upon transfer or exchange of any other Note (such other Note being referred to as the “old Note” for purposes of this ‎Section 2.08(A)(ii)) or portion thereof in accordance with this Indenture will be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as such old Note or portion thereof, as applicable.




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			The Company, the Trustee and the Note Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, but the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections ‎2.09,  ‎2.12 or ‎9.05 not involving any transfer.




			
	
			
				 (iv)
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, a Note may not be transferred or exchanged in part unless the portion to be so transferred or exchanged is in an Authorized Denomination.




			
	
			
				 (v)
			The Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any transfer restrictions imposed by applicable law or under this Indenture with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note or any share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Note (including any transfers between or among the

	Depositary, 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.




			
	
			
				 (vi)
			Each Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another Note will bear each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07.




			
	
			
				 (vii)
			Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Note, the Company will cause such transfer or exchange to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the date of such satisfaction. 




			
	
			
				 (viii)
			None of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any Note Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Transfers and Exchanges of Global Notes.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Subject to the immediately following sentence, no Global Note may be transferred or exchanged in whole except (x) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary; (y) by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary; or (z) by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.  No Global Note (or any portion thereof) may be transferred to, or exchanged for, a Physical Note;  provided,  however, that a Global Note will be exchanged, pursuant to customary procedures, for one or more Physical Notes if:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			(x) the Depositary notifies the Company or the Trustee that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (y) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act and, in each case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within ninety (90) days of such notice or cessation;




			
	
			
				 (2)
			an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and a holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note requests to exchange such Global Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, for one or more Physical Notes; or




			
	
			
				 (3)
			the Company, in its sole discretion, permits the exchange of any beneficial interest in such Global Note for one or more Physical Notes at the request of the owner of such beneficial interest.




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Global Note (or any portion thereof):




			
	
			
				 (1)
			the Trustee will reflect any resulting decrease of the principal amount of such Global Note by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of such Global Note (and, if such notation results in such Global Note having a principal amount of zero, the Company may (but is not required to) instruct 





		 


		

			-  19  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	the Trustee to cancel such Global Note pursuant to Section 2.15);




			
	
			
				 (2)
			if required to effect such transfer or exchange, then the Trustee will reflect any resulting increase of the principal amount of any other Global Note by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of such other Global Note;




			
	
			
				 (3)
			if required to effect such transfer or exchange, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Global Note bearing each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07; and




			
	
			
				 (4)
			if such Global Note (or such portion thereof), or any beneficial interest therein, is to be exchanged for one or more Physical Notes, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that are in Authorized Denominations (not to exceed, in the aggregate, the principal amount of such Global Note to be so exchanged), are registered in such name(s) as the Depositary specifies (or as otherwise determined pursuant to customary procedures) and bear each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07.




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Each transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in any Global Note will be made in accordance with the Depositary Procedures.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Transfers and Exchanges of Physical Notes.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Subject to this ‎Section 2.08, a Holder of a Physical Note may (x) transfer such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) to one or more other Person(s); (y) exchange such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) for one or more other Physical Notes in Authorized Denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Physical Note (or portion thereof) to be so exchanged; and (z) if then permitted by the Depositary Procedures, transfer such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) in exchange for a beneficial interest in one or more Global Notes; provided,  however, that, to effect any such transfer or exchange, such Holder must surrender such Physical Note to be transferred or exchanged to the office of the Registrar, together with any endorsements or transfer instruments reasonably required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar.




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Physical Note (such Physical Note being referred to as the “old Physical Note” for purposes of this ‎Section 2.08(C)(ii)) of a Holder (or any portion of such old Physical Note in an Authorized Denomination):




			
	
			
				 (1)
			such old Physical Note will be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 2.15;




			
	
			
				 (2)
			if such old Physical Note is to be transferred or exchanged only in part, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate,

	in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such old Physical Note not to be transferred or exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07;




			
	
			
				 (3)
			in the case of a transfer:




			
	
			
				 (a)
			to the Depositary or a nominee thereof that will hold its interest in such old Physical Note (or such portion thereof) to be so transferred in the form of one or more Global Notes, the Trustee will reflect an increase of the principal amount of one or more existing Global Notes by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of such Global Note(s), which increase(s) are in Authorized Denominations and aggregate to the principal amount to be so transferred, and which Global Note(s) bear each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07;  provided,  however, that if such transfer cannot be so effected by notation on one or more existing Global Notes (whether because no Global Notes bearing each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07 then exist, because any such increase will result in any Global Note having an aggregate principal amount exceeding the maximum aggregate principal amount permitted by the Depositary or otherwise), then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Global Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so transferred; and (y) bear each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07; and




			
	
			
				 (b)
			to a transferee that will hold its interest in such old Physical Note (or such portion thereof) to be so transferred in the form of one or more Physical Notes, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so transferred; (y) are registered in the name of such transferee; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07; and

				 (D)
			Transfers of Notes Subject to Redemption, Repurchase or Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that (i) has been surrendered for conversion, except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject 





		 


		

			-  21  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	to conversion; (ii) is subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Optional Repurchase Notice validly delivered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to Section ‎4.02(F) or ‎4.03(E), respectively, except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to such notice or the Company fails to pay the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Optional Repurchase Price, as applicable, when due; or (iii) has been selected for Redemption pursuant to a Redemption Notice, except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to Redemption or the Company fails to pay the applicable Redemption Price when due.




			
	
			
				 Section 2.09.
			Exchange and Cancellation of Notes to Be Converted, Redeemed or Repurchased.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Partial Conversions, Redemptions and Repurchases of Physical Notes.  If only a portion of a Physical Note of a Holder is to be converted pursuant to ‎Article 5 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, Optional Repurchase or Redemption, then, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Physical Note is surrendered for such conversion, Redemption or repurchase, the Company will cause such Physical Note to be exchanged, pursuant and subject to ‎Section 2.08(C), for (i) one or more Physical Notes that are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Physical Note that is not to be so converted, redeemed or repurchased, as applicable, and deliver such Physical Note(s) to such Holder; and (ii) a Physical Note having a principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so converted, redeemed or repurchased, as applicable, which Physical Note will be converted, redeemed or repurchased, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Indenture; provided,  however, that the Physical Note referred to in this clause (ii) need not be issued at any time after which such principal amount subject to such conversion, Redemption or repurchase, as applicable, is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to ‎Section 2.13.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Cancellation of Converted, Redeemed and Repurchased Notes.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Physical Notes.  If a Physical Note (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been exchanged pursuant to ‎Section 2.09(A)) of a Holder is to be converted pursuant to ‎Article 5 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, Optional Repurchase or Redemption, then, promptly after the later of the time such Physical Note (or such portion) is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to ‎Section 2.13 and the time such Physical Note is surrendered for such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, (1) such Physical Note will be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.15; and (2) in the case of a partial conversion, Redemption or repurchase, the Company will issue, execute and deliver to such Holder, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Physical Note that is not to be so converted, redeemed or repurchased; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by ‎Section 2.07.

			Global Notes.  If a Global Note (or any portion thereof) is to be converted pursuant to ‎Section 4.04 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, Optional Repurchase or Redemption, then, promptly after the time such Note (or such portion) is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to ‎Section 2.13, the Trustee 





		 


		

			-  22  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	will reflect a decrease of the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note to be so converted, redeemed or repurchased, as applicable, by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of such Global Note (and, if the principal amount of such Global Note is zero following such notation, cancel such Global Note pursuant to Section 2.15).




			
	
			
				 Section 2.10.
			Registered Holders; Certain Rights with Respect to Global Notes.




		
			Only the Holder of a Note will have rights under this Indenture as the owner of such Note.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Depositary Participants will have no rights as such under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or its nominee, or by the Trustee as its custodian, and the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Note Agents, and their respective agents, may treat the Depositary as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever; provided,  however, that (A) the Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Depositary Participants and Persons that hold interests in Notes through Depositary Participants, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take with respect to such Global Note under this Indenture or the Notes; and (B) the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and their respective agents, may give effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary.
		

		
			 
		

		
			None of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any Note Agent will have any responsibility
		

		
			or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary, or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary, or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the
		

		
			Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) 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 the Holders under the Notes will be given or made only to the registered Holders (which will be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note will be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The
		

		
			Trustee, Collateral Agent and Note Agents may rely and will be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary, with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 2.11.
			Notes Held by the Company or its Affiliates.




		
			Without limiting the generality of ‎Section 3.03, in determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates will be deemed not to be outstanding; provided,  however, that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee or Collateral Agent are protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

				 Section 2.12.
			Temporary Notes.




		
			Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes.  The Company will promptly prepare, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.  Until so exchanged, each temporary Note will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 2.13.
			Outstanding Notes.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.  The Notes that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those Notes that, at such time, have been duly executed and authenticated, excluding those Notes (or portions thereof) that have theretofore been (i) cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.15; (ii) assigned a principal amount of zero by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of any a Global Note representing such Note; (iii) paid in full in accordance with this Indenture; or (iv) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, clause ‎(B),  ‎(C) or ‎(D) of this ‎Section 2.13.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Replaced Notes.  If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its replacement, unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such Note is held by a “bona fide purchaser” under applicable law.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Maturing Notes and Notes Called for Redemption or Subject to Repurchase.  If, on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, an Optional Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Optional Repurchase Price or principal amount, respectively, together, in each case, with the aggregate interest, in each case due on such date, then (unless there occurs a Default in the payment of any such amount) (i) the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or repurchased, or that mature, on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Sections ‎4.02(D),  ‎4.03(C) and ‎4.04(E); and (ii) the rights of the Holders of such Notes (or such portions thereof), as such, will terminate with respect to such Notes (or such portions thereof), other than the right to receive the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Optional Repurchase Price or principal amount, as applicable, of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes (or such portions thereof), in each case as provided in this Indenture.

				 (E)
			Cessation of Accrual of Interest.  Except as provided in Sections ‎4.02(D),  ‎4.03(C) and ‎4.04(E), interest will cease to accrue on each Note from, and including, the date that such Note is deemed, pursuant to this ‎Section 2.13, to cease to be outstanding, unless there occurs a default in the payment or delivery of any cash or other property due on such Note.

				 Section 2.15.
			Cancellation.




		
			All Notes surrendered for payment, conversion, redemption or registration of transfer or exchange will, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation.  If the Company will acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition will not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.15.  No Notes will be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.15, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 2.16.
			Replacement Notes.




		
			If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note presents evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company will issue and the Trustee (upon Company Order) will authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. An indemnity bond may be required by the Company or the Trustee that is sufficient in the judgment of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Note Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for the Company’s out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note, including the fees and expenses of the Trustee. Every replacement Note will constitute an original additional obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes.

			CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.




		
			The Company in issuing the Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, and, if the Company does so, the Trustee will use the CUSIP or ISIN number(s) in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number(s) printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and that any such redemption or exchange will not be affected by any defect in or omission of any such numbers.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 2.18.
			Holder Lists.




		
			The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment 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.

A Holder that has delivered an Optional Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note for an Optional Repurchase Date may withdraw such Optional Repurchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before such Optional Repurchase Date.  Such withdrawal notice must state:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			if such Note is a Physical Note, the certificate number of such Note;




		
			


		 


		

			-  34  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		





		

			
	
			
				 (2)
			the principal amount of such Note to be withdrawn, which must be an Authorized Denomination; and




			
	
			
				 (3)
			the principal amount of such Note, if any, that remains subject to such Optional Repurchase Notice, which must be an Authorized Denomination;




		
			provided,  however, that if such Note is a Global Note, then such withdrawal notice must comply with the Depositary Procedures (and any such withdrawal notice delivered in compliance with the Depositary Procedures will be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this ‎Section 4.03(E)).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon receipt of any such withdrawal notice with respect to a Note (or any portion thereof), the Paying Agent will (x) promptly deliver a copy of such withdrawal notice to the Company; and (y) if such Note is surrendered to the Paying Agent, cause such Note (or such portion thereof in accordance with ‎Section 2.09, treating such Note as having been then surrendered for partial repurchase in the amount set forth in such withdrawal notice as remaining subject to repurchase) to be returned to the Holder thereof (or, if applicable with respect to any Global Note, cancel any instructions for book-entry transfer to the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent of the applicable beneficial interest in such Note in accordance with the Depositary Procedures).
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (F)
			Payment of the Optional Repurchase Price.  Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Optional Repurchase Price within the time proscribed by ‎Section 3.01(B), the Company will cause the Optional Repurchase Price for a Note (or portion thereof) to be repurchased pursuant to an Optional Repurchase to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the later of (i) the applicable Optional Repurchase Date; and (ii) the date (x) such Note is delivered to the Paying Agent (in the case of a Physical Note) or (y) the Depositary Procedures relating to the repurchase, and the delivery to the Paying Agent, of such Holder’s beneficial interest in such Note to be repurchased are complied with (in the case of a Global Note).  For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable as described in ‎Section 4.03(C) on any Note to be repurchased pursuant to an Optional Repurchase must be paid as so described regardless of whether such Note is delivered or such Depositary Procedures are complied with pursuant to the first sentence of this ‎Section 4.03(F).




			
	
			
				 (G)
			Compliance with Applicable Securities Laws.  To the extent applicable, the Company will comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with an Optional Repurchase (including complying with Rules 13e-4 and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and filing any required Schedule TO, to the extent applicable) so as to permit effecting such Optional Repurchase in the manner set forth in this Indenture.  




			
	
			
				 (H)
			Repurchase in Part.  Subject to the terms of this ‎Section 4.03, Notes may be repurchased pursuant to an Optional Repurchase in part, but only in Authorized Denominations.  Provisions of this ‎Section 4.03 applying to the repurchase of a Note in whole will equally apply to the repurchase of a permitted portion of a Note.

				 Section 4.04.
			Right of the Company to Redeem the Notes. 




			
	
			
				 (A)
			No Right to Redeem Before November 1, 2022.  The Company may not redeem the Notes at its option at any time before November 1, 2022.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Right to Redeem the Notes on or After November 1, 2022.  Subject to the terms of this ‎Section 4.04, the Company has the right, at its election, to redeem all, or any portion in an Authorized Denomination, of the Notes, at any time, and from time to time, on a Redemption Date on or after November 1, 2022, for a cash purchase price equal to the Redemption Price.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Redemption Prohibited in Certain Circumstances.  If the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or before the Redemption Date (including as a result of the payment of the related Redemption Price, and any related interest pursuant to the proviso to ‎Section 4.04(E), on such Redemption Date), then (i) the Company may not call for Redemption or otherwise redeem any Notes pursuant to this ‎Section 4.04; and (ii) the Company will cause any Notes theretofore surrendered for such Redemption to be returned to the Holders thereof (or, if applicable with respect to Global Notes, cancel any instructions for book-entry transfer to the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent of the applicable beneficial interests in such Notes in accordance with the Depositary Procedures).




			
	
			
				 (D)
			Redemption Date.  The Redemption Date for any Redemption will be a Business Day of the Company’s choosing that is no more than sixty (60), nor less than thirty (30), calendar days after the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption.




			
	
			
				 (E)
			Redemption Price.  The Redemption Price for any Note called for Redemption is an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of such Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Redemption Date for such Redemption; provided,  however, that if such Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Redemption, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Redemption Date is before such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Redemption Price will not include accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day within the meaning of ‎Section 2.04(C) and such Redemption Date occurs on the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date, then (x) accrued and unpaid interest on Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be paid, in accordance with ‎Section 2.04(C), on the next Business Day to Holders at of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Redemption Price will include interest on Notes to be redeemed from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.




			
	
			
				 (F)
			Redemption Notice.  To call any Notes for Redemption, the Company must send to each applicable Holder of such Notes (and to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, if required by applicable law), the Trustee and the Paying Agent a written notice of such Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”).




		
			


		 


		

			-  36  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			Such Redemption Notice must state:
		

			
	
			
				 (i)
			that the Notes have been called for Redemption, briefly describing the Company’s Redemption right under this Indenture;




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			the Redemption Date for such Redemption;




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			the Redemption Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such Redemption (and, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, the amount, manner and timing of the interest payment payable pursuant to the proviso to ‎Section 4.04(E));




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




			
	
			
				 (v)
			that Notes called for Redemption may be converted at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Company pays such Redemption Price in full);




			
	
			
				 (vi)
			the Conversion Rate in effect on the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption;




			
	
			
				 (vii)
			that Notes called for Redemption must be delivered to the Paying Agent (in the case of Physical Notes) or the Depositary Procedures must be complied with (in the case of Global Notes) for the Holder thereof to be entitled to receive the Redemption Price; and




			
	
			
				 (viii)
			the CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.




		
			On or before the Redemption Notice Date, the Company will send a copy of such Redemption Notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (G)
			Selection, Conversion and Transfer of Notes to be Redeemed in Part.  If less than all Notes then outstanding are called for Redemption, then:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Company as follows: (1) in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Depositary Procedures; and (2) in the case of Physical Notes, pro rata, by lot or by such other method the Company considers fair and appropriate; and




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			if only a portion of a Note is subject to Redemption and such Note is converted in part, then the converted portion of such Note will be deemed to be from the portion of such Note that was subject to Redemption.




			
	
			
				 (H)
			Payment of the Redemption Price.  Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Redemption Price by the time proscribed by ‎Section 3.01(B), the Company will cause the Redemption Price for a Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the later of (i) the applicable Redemption Date; and (ii) the date (x) such Note 





		 


		

			-  37  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	is delivered to the Paying Agent (in the case of a Physical Note) or (y) the Depositary Procedures relating to the Redemption, and the delivery to the Paying Agent, of such Holder’s beneficial interest in such Note to be redeemed are complied with (in the case of a Global Note).  For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso to ‎Section 4.04(E) on any Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption must be paid pursuant to such proviso regardless of whether such Note is delivered or such Depositary Procedures are complied with pursuant to the first sentence of this ‎Section 4.04(H).

				 (B)
			Conversions in Part.  Subject to the terms of this Indenture, Notes may be converted in part, but only in Authorized Denominations.  Provisions of this ‎Article 5 applying to the conversion of a Note in whole will equally apply to conversions of a permitted portion of a Note.




			
	
			
				 (C)

			Limitations and Closed Periods.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			Notes may be surrendered for conversion only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day;

				 (4)
			if a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Optional Repurchase Notice is validly delivered pursuant to Section ‎4.02(F) or ‎4.03(E), respectively, with respect to any Note, then such Note may not be converted, except to the extent (a) such Note is not subject to such notice; (b) such notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section ‎4.02(F) or ‎4.03(E), as applicable; or (c) the Company fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Optional Repurchase Price, as applicable, for such Note in accordance with this Indenture.

				 Section 5.02.
			Conversion Procedures.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Global Notes.  To convert a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the owner of such beneficial interest must (1) comply with the Depositary Procedures for converting such beneficial interest (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable); and (2) pay any amounts due pursuant to ‎Section 5.02(D).




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Physical Notes.  To convert all or a portion of a Physical Note, the Holder of such Note must (1) complete, manually sign and deliver to the Conversion Agent the conversion notice attached to such Physical Note or a facsimile of such conversion notice; (2) deliver such Physical Note to the Conversion Agent (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable); (3) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company or the Conversion Agent may require; and (4) pay any amounts due pursuant to ‎Section 5.02(D).




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Effect of Converting a Note.  At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Note (or any portion thereof), such Note (or such portion thereof) will be deemed to cease to be outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person will be deemed to be a Holder of such Note (or such portion thereof) as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date), except to the extent provided in ‎Section 5.03(A)(i).




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Holder of Record of Conversion Shares.  The Person in whose name any share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of any Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.




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




			
	
			
				 (E)
			Conversion Agent to Notify Company of Conversions.  If any Note is submitted for conversion to the Conversion Agent or the Conversion Agent receives any notice of conversion with respect to a Note, then the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of such occurrence, together with any other information reasonably requested by the Company, and will cooperate with the Company to determine the Conversion Date for such Note.




			
	
			
				 Section 5.03.
			Settlement upon Conversion.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Conversion Consideration.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Generally.  Subject to ‎Section 5.03(A)(ii) and ‎Section 5.03(A)(iii), the type and amount of consideration (the “Conversion Consideration”) due in respect of any Note (or portion thereof) to be converted will be (a) a number of shares of Common Stock, per 





		 


		

			-  39  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	$1,000 principal amount of such Note to be converted, equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such conversion; and (b) a cash amount equal to the sum of the following: 




			
	
			
				 (1)
			unpaid interest that has accrued on such Note (or such portion thereof) to, but excluding, the date the Company settles such conversion (unless such Conversion Date is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, in which case (y) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Conversion Date is before such Interest Payment Date); and (z) the Company will not pay any separate cash amount pursuant to this ‎Section 5.03(A)(i)(1) for interest as part of the consideration due upon such conversion); and




			
	
			
				 (2)
			the Interest Make-Whole for such conversion.




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares.  If the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to ‎Section 5.03(A)(i) upon conversion of any Note is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company will deliver, in addition to the other consideration due upon such conversion, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (1) such fraction and (2) the Daily VWAP per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day).




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Conversion of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder.  If a Holder converts more than one (1) Note on a single Conversion Date, then the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will (in the case of any Global Note, to the extent permitted by, and practicable under, the Depositary Procedures) be computed based on the total principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date by such Holder.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Delivery of the Conversion Consideration.  Except as set forth in Sections ‎5.06(A) and ‎5.06(C) or in the proviso to this sentence, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of any Note to the Holder on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Accrued Interest Notwithstanding Conversion.  Without limiting the Company’s obligation to pay interest pursuant to ‎Section 5.03(A)(i), if a Holder converts a Note, then the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note.




			
	
			
				 Section 5.04.
			Company’s Mandatory Conversion Option.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Mandatory Conversion.  Subject to ‎Section 5.04(D), if, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Daily VWAP per share of the Common Stock equals or exceeds one hundred and twenty-one  (121%) of the Conversion Price on each of at least twenty (20) VWAP Trading 





		 


		

			-  40  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	Days, whether or not consecutive, during any thirty (30) consecutive VWAP Trading Day period commencing on or after the Issue Date, then the Company will have the right (the “Company Mandatory Conversion Right”), exercisable at the Company’s election, to cause all (and not less than all) Notes then outstanding to be automatically converted (any such conversion, a “Mandatory Conversion”).    




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Mandatory Conversion Notice.  To exercise the Company Mandatory Conversion Right, the Company will send notice of the Company’s election (a “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the last VWAP Trading Day of such 30 consecutive VWAP Trading Day period.




		
			Such Mandatory Conversion Notice must state:
		

			
	
			
				 (i)
			that the Notes have been called for Mandatory Conversion, briefly describing the Company Mandatory Conversion Right under this Indenture;




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			the Mandatory Conversion Date;




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			the current Conversion Rate;




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




			
	
			
				 (v)
			the CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Effect of Mandatory Conversion; Mandatory Conversion Date.  If the Company exercises the Company Mandatory Conversion Right in accordance with this ‎Section 5.04, then a Conversion Date will automatically, and without the need for any action on the part of any Holder, the Trustee or the Conversion Agent, be deemed to occur, with respect to each Note then outstanding, on the Mandatory Conversion Date.  The Mandatory Conversion Date will be a Business Day of the Company’s choosing that is no more than thirty (30), nor less than ten (10), Business Days after the Company sends the Mandatory Conversion Notice.




			
	
			
				 (D)
			Mandatory Conversion Prohibited in Certain Circumstances.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Section 5.04, the Company may not exercise its Company Mandatory Conversion Right at any time during the period beginning on the effective date of a Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change and ending on the thirty-fifth (35th) Trading Day after such effective date (or, in the case of a Fundamental Change, ending on the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date).  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Section 5.04, the Company may not exercise its Company Mandatory Conversion Right unless all of the following conditions (collectively, the “Equity Conditions”) are satisfied on each day from, and including, the date the Company sends the Mandatory Conversion Notice to, and including, the Mandatory Conversion Date:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			either (x) all shares of the Common Stock issuable upon Mandatory Conversion will be eligible for resale, by a person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, without registration under any applicable federal or state securities laws; or (y) a shelf registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon 





		 


		

			-  41  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	conversion of the Notes is effective under the Securities Act and available for use by the persons to whom such shares are to be issued, and the Company expects such shelf registration statement to remain effective and so available for use from the date the Company sends the Mandatory Conversion Notice through the date that is thirty (30) calendar days following such Mandatory Conversion Date;




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			the Common Stock is listed on any Eligible Market and has not been suspended from trading on such Eligible Market (other than suspensions of not more than two (2) Trading Days and occurring before the applicable date of determination due to business announcements by the Company);




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock is not pending and has not been threatened in writing by the applicable Eligible Market, and the Company is not then in violation of the then effective minimum listing maintenance requirements of such Eligible Market;




			
	
			
				 (iv)
			all shares of Common Stock issuable upon Mandatory Conversion may be issued in full without violating the listing rules of The Nasdaq Global Market or any other applicable Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or trading; and




			
	
			
				 (v)
			the Company has not defaulted on its obligation to convert any Note before the date the Company sends the Mandatory Conversion Notice, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.




		
			If any of the Equity Conditions ceases to be satisfied at any time after the Company sends a Mandatory Conversion Notice, the Company will promptly (and no later than the scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date) notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the same, specifying that the Mandatory Conversion ceases to apply.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company’s issuance of a Mandatory Conversion Notice will be irrevocable.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 5.05.
			Reserve and Status of Common Stock Issued upon Conversion.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Stock Reserve.  At all times from and after the Issue Date,  when any Notes are outstanding, the Company will reserve, out of its authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the conversion of all then-outstanding Notes, assuming the Conversion Rate is increased by the maximum amount pursuant to which the Conversion Rate may be increased pursuant to ‎Section 5.08.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Status of Conversion Shares; Listing.  Each Conversion Share delivered upon conversion of any Note will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder of such Note or the Person to whom such Conversion Share will be delivered).  If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will cause each Conversion Share, when delivered upon conversion of any Note, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.

				 Section 5.06.
			Adjustments to the Conversion Rate.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate.  The Conversion Rate will be adjusted, without duplication, from time to time as follows:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations.  If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which ‎Section 5.09 will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:




		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where:
		

		
			CR0=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;
		

		
			 
		

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

		
			 
		

		
			OS0=the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			OS1=the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment made pursuant to this ‎Section 5.06(A)(i) will become effective at the time set forth in the definition of CR1  above.  If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this ‎Section 5.06(A)(i) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Rights, Options and Warrants.  If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which the 





		 


		

			-  43  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	provisions set forth in Sections ‎5.06(A)(iii)(1) and ‎5.06(E) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:




		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where:
		

		
			CR0=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 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;
		

		
			 
		

		
			OS=the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
		

		
			 
		

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

		
			 
		

		
			Y=a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment made pursuant to this ‎Section 5.06(A)(ii) will become effective at the time set forth in the definition of CR1  above.  To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.  To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants not occurred.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For purposes of this ‎Section 5.06(A)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per 


		 


		

			-  44  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (iii)
			Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.




			
	
			
				 (1)
			Distributions Other than Spin-Offs.  If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:




		
			(v)dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section ‎5.06(A)(i) or ‎5.06(A)(ii);
		

		
			 
		

		
			(w)dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A)(iv);
		

		
			 
		

		
			(x)rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in ‎Section 5.06(E);
		

		
			 
		

		
			(y)Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A)(iii)(2); and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(z)a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which ‎Section 5.09 will apply,
		

		
			 
		

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

		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where:
		

		
			CR0=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 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;
		

		
			 
		

		
			SP=the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and 


		 


		

			-  45  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			FMV=the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;
		

		
			 
		

		
			provided,  however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment made pursuant to this ‎Section 5.06(A)(iii)(1) will become effective at the time set forth in the definition of CR1  above.  To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, or such rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration (including as a result of being redeemed or terminated), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid or on the basis of the distribution of only such rights, options or warrants, if any, that were actually exercised, if at all.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (2)
			Spin-Offs.  If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which ‎Section 5.09 will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:




		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where:
		

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

		
			 
		

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

		
			


		 


		

			-  46  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			FMV=the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, such Ex-Dividend Date (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price and Trading Day were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			SP=the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this ‎Section 5.06(A)(iii)(2) will be calculated as of the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect.  If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period.
		

		
			 
		

		
			To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this ‎Section 5.06(A)(iii)(2) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
		

		
			 
		

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




		
			
		

		
			where:
		

		
			CR0=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 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 such Ex-Dividend Date;
		

		
			 
		

		
			SP=the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
		

		
			


		 


		

			-  47  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			D=the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution;
		

		
			 
		

		
			provided,  however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.  For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment made pursuant to this ‎Section 5.06(A)(iv) will become effective at the time set forth in the definition of CR1  above.
		

		
			 
		

		
			To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (v)
			Tender Offers or Exchange Offers.  If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:




		
			
		

		
			 
		

		
			where:
		

		
			CR0=the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;
		

		
			 
		

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

		
			 
		

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

		
			 
		

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

		
			 
		

		
			


		 


		

			-  48  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		





		

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

		
			 
		

		
			SP=the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;
		

		
			 
		

		
			provided,  however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this ‎Section 5.06(A)(v), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph.  The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this ‎Section 5.06(A)(v) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect.  If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.
		

		
			 
		

		
			To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (B)
			No Adjustments in Certain Cases.




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Where Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ‎Section 5.06(A), the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in ‎Section 5.06(A)(i) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in ‎Section 5.06(A)(v)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of Notes, in such transaction or event without having to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable; and (ii) the aggregate principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder on such date.




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			Certain Events.  The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in ‎Section 5.06 or ‎Section 5.08.  Without limiting the foregoing, 





		 


		

			-  49  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:




			
	
			
				 (1)
			except as otherwise provided in ‎Section 5.06, the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;




			
	
			
				 (2)
			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 such plan;




			
	
			
				 (3)
			the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock 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;




			
	
			
				 (4)
			the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company not described in clause ‎(3) above and outstanding as of the Issue Date;




			
	
			
				 (5)
			solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or




			
	
			
				 (6)
			accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Adjustments Not Yet Effective.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			a Note is to be converted;




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and




			
	
			
				 (iv)
			such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),




		
			then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the shares issuable upon such conversion will not be entitled to participate in such event).  In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.
		

		
			


		 


		

			-  50  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		





		

			
	
			
				 (D)
			Conversion Rate Adjustments where Converting Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A);




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			a Note is to be converted;




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;




			
	
			
				 (iv)
			the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution;  and




			
	
			
				 (v)
			such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to ‎Section 5.02(C)),




		
			then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion; and (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.
		

			
	
			
				 (E)
			Stockholder Rights Plans.  If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Indenture upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A)(iii)(1) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.




			
	
			
				 (F)
			Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments.  The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A) or ‎Section 5.08 to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.




			
	
			
				 (G)
			Equitable Adjustments to Prices.  Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAPs, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate the Stock Price or an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.




		
			


		 


		

			-  51  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		





		

			
	
			
				 (H)
			Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock.  For purposes of ‎Section 5.06(A),  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (ii) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).




			
	
			
				 (I)
			Calculations.  All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward to the nearest 1/10,000th), as applicable.




			
	
			
				 (J)
			Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments.  Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.




			
	
			
				 Section 5.07.
			Voluntary Adjustments.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.  To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is either (x) in the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event; (ii) such increase is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (iii) such increase is irrevocable during such period.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Notice of Voluntary Increases.  If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to this ‎Section 5.07, then, at least fifteen (15) Business Days before such increase, the Company will send notice to each Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.




			
	
			
				 Section 5.08.
			Adjustments to the Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.  If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs on or before November 1, 2022 and the Conversion Date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period, then, subject to this ‎Section 5.08, the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation as provided in, and subject to, the provisions below) to the effective date and the Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

			If such effective date or Stock Price is not set forth in the table above, then:
		

			
	
			
				 (i)
			if such Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table above, then the number of Additional Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices in the table and the earlier and later effective dates in the table above, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			if the Stock Price is greater than $2.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted pursuant to ‎Section 5.08(B)), or less than $1.08 (subject to adjustment in the same manner), per share, then no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.




		
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 925.9259 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to ‎Section 5.06(A).
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (B)
			Adjustment of Stock Prices and Additional Shares.  The Stock Prices in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table set forth in ‎Section 5.08(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Price is adjusted as a result of the operation of ‎Section 5.06(A).  The numbers of Additional Shares in the table set forth in ‎Section 5.08(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to ‎Section 5.08(A).




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Notice of the Occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.  If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs, then, promptly and in no event later than five (5) Business Days immediately after the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will notify the Holders and the Trustee of the occurrence of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and of such effective date, briefly stating the circumstances under which the Conversion Rate will be increased pursuant to this ‎Section 5.08 in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.




			
	
			
				 (D)
			Settlement of Cash Make-Whole Fundamental Changes.  For the avoidance of doubt, if holders of Common Stock receive solely cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, then, pursuant to ‎Section 5.09, conversions of Notes will thereafter be settled no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date.

				 Section 5.09.
			Effect of Common Stock Change Event.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.  If there occurs any:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or




			
	
			
				 (iv)
			other similar event,




		
			and, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes,
		

		
			 
		

		
			(1)from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (I) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this ‎Article 5 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (II) for purposes of ‎Section 5.04, each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (III) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change” and “Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” the terms “Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(2)for these purposes, the 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).
		

		
			 
		

		
			If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average, per share of the Common 


		 


		

			-  54  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




Stock, of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of the Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock.  The Company will notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
		

		
			 
		

		
			At or before the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to ‎Section 9.01(G), which supplemental indenture will (x) provide for subsequent conversions of Notes in the manner set forth in this ‎Section 5.09; (y) provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to ‎Section 5.08(A) that are as nearly as equivalent as possible to, and in a manner consistent with this ‎Section 5.09; and (z) contain such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to the provisions of this ‎Section 5.09(A).  If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental indenture and such supplemental indenture will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders, including the right of Holders to require the Company to repurchase their Notes pursuant to ‎Section 4.02 or ‎4.03, as the Board of Directors, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determines is necessary by reason of the foregoing.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (B)
			Notice of Common Stock Change Events.  The Company will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent no later than the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Compliance Covenant.  The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this ‎Section 5.09.




			
	
			
				 Section 5.10.
			Responsibility of the Trustee.




		
			The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent will not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same.  The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent will not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent will be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article.  Neither the Trustee nor any other agent acting under this Indenture (other than the Company, if acting in such capacity) will have any obligation to make any calculation or to determine whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion pursuant to this Indenture, or to notify the Company or the Depositary or any of the Holders if the Notes have become

convertible pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 5.11.
			Limits Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock Upon Conversion.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Person will be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Notes to the extent, but only to the extent, that such receipt would cause such Person to become, directly or indirectly, a Beneficial Owner of more than 9.99% of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (such restriction, the “General Beneficial Ownership Limit”). For purposes of this ‎Section 5.11 only, a Person will be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of and will be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock that such Person or any of such person’s Affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) or associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is deemed to beneficially own, together with any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Subject to the following proviso, for purposes of the this ‎Section 5.11 only, beneficial ownership will be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as in effect on the Issue Date; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its Affiliates and associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act will include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of any of the Company’s securities or rights to acquire the Common Stock, whether or not such securities or rights are currently exercisable or convertible or are exercisable or convertible only after the passage of time (including the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes in respect of which the beneficial ownership determination is being made), but will exclude the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of any Notes beneficially owned by such Person or any of its Affiliates or associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any of the Company’s other securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Person or any of its Affiliates or associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Beneficial Owner” as used in this ‎Section 5.11 will not include (i) with respect to any Global Note, the nominee of the Depositary or any Person having an account with the Depositary or its nominee or (ii) with respect to any certificated Note, the Holder of such certificated Note unless, in each case, such nominee, account holder or Holder will also be a Beneficial Owner of such Note.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			In addition, a Holder at its option may elect a beneficial ownership limit as to such Holder (but not as to any other Holder) that is less than or equal to the general beneficial ownership limit then applicable to the Holders in general upon written notice delivered to the Company prior to the issuance of the Notes or, if thereafter, at least 61 days prior to the date of effectiveness of such lower beneficial ownership limit, specifying the percentage of shares of Common Stock for the beneficial ownership limit that will apply to such Holder (such beneficial ownership limit, a “Holder Beneficial Ownership Limit” and together with the general beneficial ownership limit, the “Beneficial Ownership Limits”). Written notices sent by Holders electing a Holder Beneficial 





		 


		

			-  56  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	Ownership Limit pursuant to this ‎Section 5.11(B) received prior to the Issue Date and the issuance of the Notes are listed on Schedule 1 to this Indenture.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes will be void and have no effect to the extent, but only to the extent, that such delivery would result in any Person becoming the Beneficial Owner of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limits applicable to such Person.




			
	
			
				 (D)
			Unless the Company has waived the General Beneficial Ownership Limit as set forth in ‎Section 5.11(F) and there is no Holder Beneficial Ownership Limit applicable to a Holder, when such Holder tenders Notes for conversion, that Holder must provide a certification to the Company as to whether the Person (or Persons) receiving shares of Common Stock upon conversion is, or would, as a result of such conversion, become the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time in excess of any beneficial ownership limit then applicable to such Person (or Persons).




			
	
			
				 (E)
			If any delivery of shares of Common Stock otherwise owed to any Person (or persons) upon conversion of the Notes is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the applicable Beneficial Ownership Limits, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery will not be extinguished and, such Holder may either:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			unless such conversion is in connection with the Company’s exercise of the Company Mandatory Conversion Right, request the return of the Notes surrendered by such Holder for conversion, after which the Company will deliver such Notes to such Holder within two Trading Days after receipt of such request; or




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			certify to the Company that the Person (or persons) receiving shares of Common Stock upon conversion is not, and would not, as a result of such conversion, become the Beneficial Owner of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time in excess of the applicable Beneficial Ownership Limits, after which the Company will deliver any such shares of Common Stock withheld on account of such applicable Beneficial Ownership Limits by the later of (i) the date such shares were otherwise due to such Person (or persons) and (ii) two Trading Days after receipt of such certification; provided, however, until such time as the affected Holder gives such notice, no Person will be deemed to be the stockholder of record with respect to the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion in excess of any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limit. Upon delivery of such notice, the provisions under Sections 5.02 and 5.03 will apply to the shares of Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to such notice.




			
	
			
				 (F)
			The Company may, at their option with the approval of the Board of Directors and subject to the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Market, waive the General Beneficial Ownership Limit (as to a particular Person or as to all persons). In the event that the Company exercises its right to waive the General Beneficial Ownership Limit to all Persons, the Company or, at the Company’s written request and expense, the Trustee, will deliver or cause to be delivered to each Holder 61 days prior to the effective waiver date an irrevocable notice stating that as of an effective date specified therein, the Company waives any restrictions that limit a Holder from converting its Notes in the event that such Holder is, or would, as a result of a 





		 


		

			-  57  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	conversion of Notes, become, a restricted converting Holder. Any such waiver of the General Beneficial Ownership Limit would not effect a waiver of any Holder Beneficial Ownership Limit.




			
	
			
				Article 6.
			Successors




			
	
			
				 Section 6.01.
			When the Company May Merge, Etc.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.  The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (a “Business Combination Event”), unless:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (the “Successor Corporation”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplemental indenture pursuant to ‎Section 9.01(F)) all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, and Successor Corporation will take such action (or agree to take such action) and deliver such agreements, instruments, or documents as may be necessary or appropriate to cause any property or assets that constitute Collateral owned by or transferred to the Successor Corporation to be subject to the Liens of the Collateral Agent in the manner and to the extent required under this Indenture; and




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Delivery of Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee and Collateral Agent.  Before the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) comply with ‎Section 6.01(A) and Article 11; and (ii) all conditions precedent to such Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.




			
	
			
				 Section 6.02.
			Successor Corporation Substituted.




		
			At the effective time of any Business Combination Event that complies with ‎Section 6.01, the Successor Corporation (if not the Company) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named as the Company in this Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

				 (vii)
			a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any one or more mortgages, agreements or other instruments under which there is outstanding, or by which there is secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed of at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether such indebtedness exists as of the Issue Date or is thereafter created, where such default:

				 (2)
			results in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable before its stated maturity;




			
	
			
				 (viii)
			one or more final judgments being rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the payment of at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate (excluding any amounts covered by insurance), where such judgment is not discharged or stayed within sixty (60) days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal the same has expired, if no such appeal has commenced; or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;




		
			


		 


		

			-  59  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		





		

			
	
			
				 (ix)

				 (1)
			commences a voluntary case or proceeding;




			
	
			
				 (2)
			consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

				 (xi)
			except as permitted by this Indenture, with respect to any assets or property having a fair market value of at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent), individually or in the aggregate, that constitutes, or under this Indenture is required to constitute, Collateral, (a) this Indenture will for any reason cease to be in full force and effect in all material respects, or the Company will so assert, or (b) any security interest created, or purported to be created, by this Indenture will cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby, if such default does not result from any unauthorized action by the Collateral Agent in express violation of any provision of this Indenture.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Cause Irrelevant.  Each of the events set forth in ‎Section 7.01(A) will constitute an Event of Default regardless of the cause thereof or whether voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or 





		 


		

			-  60  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	regulation of any administrative or governmental body.




			
	
			
				 Section 7.02.
			Acceleration.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Automatic Acceleration in Certain Circumstances.  If an Event of Default set forth in ‎Section 7.01(A)(ix) or ‎7.01(A)(x) occurs with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Optional Acceleration.  Subject to ‎Section 7.03, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in ‎Section 7.01(A)(ix) or ‎7.01(A)(x) with respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Rescission of Acceleration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any acceleration of the Notes and its consequences 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 (except the non-payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived.  No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.




			
	
			
				 Section 7.03.
			Sole Remedy for a Failure to Report.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for any Event of Default (a “Reporting Event of Default”) pursuant to ‎Section 7.01(A)(vi) arising from the Company’s failure to comply with ‎Section 3.02 will, for each of the first one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days on which a Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consist exclusively of the accrual of Special Interest on the Notes.  If the Company has made such an election, then (i) the Notes will be subject to acceleration pursuant to ‎Section 7.02 on account of the relevant Reporting Event of Default from, and including, the one hundred and eighty first (181st) calendar day on which a Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Company fails to pay any accrued and unpaid Special Interest when due; and (ii) Special Interest will cease to accrue on any Notes from, and including, such one hundred and eighty first (181st) calendar day (it being understood that interest on any defaulted Special Interest will nonetheless accrue pursuant to ‎Section 2.04(B)).




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Amount and Payment of Special Interest.  Any Special Interest that accrues on a Note pursuant to ‎Section 7.03(A) will be payable on the same dates and in the same manner as the Stated Interest on such Note and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount thereof for the first ninety (90) days beginning on, and including, 





		 


		

			-  61  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurs and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Special Interest that accrues on a Note will be in addition to the Stated Interest that accrues on such Note.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Notice of Election.  To make the election set forth in ‎Section 7.03(A), the Company must send to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, before the date on which each Reporting Event of Default first occurs, a notice that (i) briefly describes the report(s) that the Company failed to file with or furnish to the SEC; (ii) states that the Company is electing that the sole remedy for such Reporting Event of Default consist of the accrual of Special Interest; and (iii) briefly describes the periods during which and rate at which Special Interest will accrue and the circumstances under which the Notes will be subject to acceleration on account of such Reporting Event of Default.




			
	
			
				 (D)
			Notice to Trustee and Paying Agent; Trustee’s Disclaimer.  If Special Interest accrues on any Note, then, no later than five (5) Business Days before each date on which such Special Interest is to be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company is obligated to pay Special Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and (ii) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable on such date of payment.  The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Special Interest is payable or the amount thereof.




			
	
			
				 (E)
			No Effect on Other Events of Default.  No election pursuant to this ‎Section 7.03 with respect to a Reporting Event of Default will affect the rights of any Holder with respect to any other Event of Default, including with respect to any other Reporting Event of Default.




			
	
			
				 Section 7.04.
			Other Remedies.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Trustee or the Collateral Agent May Pursue All Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Procedural Matters.  The Trustee or the Collateral Agent may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in such proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee,  the Collateral Agent or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy following an Event of Default will not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, such Event of Default.  All remedies will be cumulative to the extent permitted by law.




			
	
			
				 Section 7.05.
			Waiver of Past Defaults.




		
			An Event of Default pursuant to clause ‎(i),  ‎(ii),  ‎(iv) or ‎(vi) of ‎Section 7.01(A) (that, in the case of clause ‎(vi) only, results from a Default under any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each affected Holder), and a Default that could lead to such an Event of Default, can be waived only with the consent of each affected Holder.  Each other Default or Event of Default may be waived, on behalf of all Holders, by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.  If an Event of Default is so waived, then it will 


		 


		

			-  62  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




cease to exist.  If a Default is so waived, then it will be deemed to be cured and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed not to occur.  However, no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right arising therefrom.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 7.06.
			Control by Majority.




		
			Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  However, the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Notes, or that, subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or may involve the Trustee or Collateral Agent in liability, unless the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, are offered, and if requested, provided security and indemnity satisfactory to each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee and Collateral Agent that may result from the Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’s following such direction.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 7.07.
			Limitation on Suits.




		
			No Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (except to enforce (x) its rights to receive the principal of, or the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Optional Repurchase Price for, or interest on, any Notes; or (y) the Company’s obligations to convert any Notes pursuant to ‎Article 5), unless:
		

			
	
			
				 (A)
			such Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have delivered a request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;




			
	
			
				 (C)
			such Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s following such request;




			
	
			
				 (D)
			the Trustee has not complied with such request within sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such request and such offer of security or indemnity; and




			
	
			
				 (E)
			during such sixty (60) calendar day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have not delivered to the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.




		
			A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.  The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Holder’s use of this Indenture complies with the preceding sentence.

				 Section 7.08.
			Absolute Right of Holders to Receive Payment and Conversion Consideration.




		
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the right of each Holder of a Note to receive payment or delivery, as applicable, of the principal of, or the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Optional Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to ‎Article 5 upon conversion of, such Note on or after the respective due dates therefor provided in this Indenture and the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery on or after such respective due dates, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 7.09.
			Collection Suit by Trustee.




		
			The Trustee will have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clause ‎(i),  ‎(ii) or ‎(iv) of ‎Section 7.01(A), to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the total unpaid or undelivered principal of, or Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Optional Repurchase Price for, or interest on, or Conversion Consideration due pursuant to ‎Article 5 upon conversion of, the Notes, as applicable, and, to the extent lawful, any Default Interest on any Defaulted Amounts, and such further amounts sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation provided for in Section 8.07.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 7.10.
			Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.




		
			The Trustee has the right to (A) 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, the Collateral Agent and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) or its creditors or property and (B) collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims.  Each Holder authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.07.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise).  Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

				 Section 7.11.
			Priorities.




		
			The Trustee will pay or deliver in the following order any money or other property that it collects pursuant to this ‎Article 7:

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

				 (viii)
			The Trustee will not have any responsibility with respect to reports, notices, certificates or other documents delivered to it hereunder, it being understood that delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on Officer’s Certificates).

				 (xi)

				 Section 8.03.
			Individual Rights of Trustee.




		
			The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes, and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the Company, or any Affiliate thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

				 Section 8.04.
			Trustee’s Disclaimer.




		
			The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes (except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder), and the Trustee will not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the sale of Notes or any money paid to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, and the Trustee will not be responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificates of authentication.

Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, any Note, or an Event of Default arising from the failure to deliver the consideration due upon conversion of any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

			Reserved.




			
	
			
				 Section 8.07.
			Compensation and Indemnity.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			The Company will pay to each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time compensation for its services as agreed to from time to time in writing between the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.  The Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s compensation will not be limited by any provision of law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent within 45 days after receipt of request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements and expenses incurred or made by it in connection with its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s agents and

			The Company will indemnify the Trustee, the Collateral Agent,  their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold the Trustee and the Collateral Agent harmless against, any and all loss or liability incurred by them in connection with the acceptance or performance of their respective duties under this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, including the reasonable fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for which it may seek indemnity.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			The failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to so notify the Company will not however relieve the Company of its obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not reimburse the Trustee or the Collateral Agent for any expense or indemnify them against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent through its negligence or willful misconduct. To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 8.07, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, except such money or property held in trust to pay the principal of, interest and premium, if any, on particular Notes.    Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.




			
	
			
				 (D)
			When the Trustee or the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(A)(ix) or (x) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

			Replacement of Trustee.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing at least 30 days in advance of such resignation.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee at its election if:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10;




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent, or an order for relief is

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




			
	
			
				 (iv)

				 (D)
			If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.




			
	
			
				 (E)
			If the Trustee,  after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 8.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.




			
	
			
				 (F)
			A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately following such delivery, (i) the retiring Trustee will, subject to its rights under Section 8.07, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.




			
	
			
				 Section 8.09.
			Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger or Conversion.




		
			If the Trustee, Collateral Agent or any Note Agent, consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 8.10, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee, Collateral Agent or Note Agent, as the case may be.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 Section 8.10.
			Eligibility;  Disqualification.




		
			This Indenture will always have a Trustee who is an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, who is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and who will have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

				 (ii)
			that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			that it will give the Trustee written notice within three Business Days after any failure of the Company (or by any obligor on the Notes) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes when the same will be due and payable.

				 Section 9.02.
			With the Consent of Holders.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Generally.  Subject to Sections ‎9.01,  ‎7.05 and ‎7.08 and the immediately following sentence, the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Intercreditor Agreement or waive compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Intercreditor Agreement.

				 (iv)
			make any change that adversely affects the conversion rights of any Note;

			make any note payable in money, or at a place of payment, other than that stated in this Indenture or the Note;

				 (ix)
			make any direct or indirect change to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification provision of this Indenture or the Notes that requires the consent of each affected Holder.




		
			For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to clauses ‎(i),  ‎(ii),  ‎(iii) and ‎(iv) of this ‎Section 9.02(A), no amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, may change the amount or type of consideration due on any Note (whether on an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Optional Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date or upon conversion, or otherwise), or the date(s) or time(s) such consideration is payable or deliverable, as applicable, without the consent of each affected Holder.
		

		
			 
		

		
			In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 (B)
			Holders Need Not Approve the Particular Form of any Amendment.  A consent of any Holder pursuant to this ‎Section 9.02 need approve only the substance, and not necessarily the particular form, of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver.




			
	
			
				 Section 9.03.
			Notice of Amendments, Supplements and Waivers.




		
			As soon as reasonably practicable after any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to Section ‎9.01 or ‎9.02 becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders notice that (A) describes the substance of such amendment, supplement or waiver in reasonable detail and (B) states the effective date thereof.

				 Section 9.04.
			Revocation, Effect and Solicitation of Consents; Special Record Dates; Etc.




			
	
			
				 (A)
			Revocation and Effect of Consents.  The consent of a Holder of a Note to an amendment, supplement or waiver will bind (and constitute the consent of) each subsequent Holder of any Note to the extent the same evidences any portion of the same indebtedness as the 





		 


		

			-  73  -

		


		

			 

		


		

			 

		








		

			 

		




	consenting Holder’s Note, subject to the right of any Holder of a Note to revoke (if not prohibited pursuant to ‎Section 9.04(B)) any such consent with respect to such Note by delivering notice of revocation to the Trustee before the time such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.




			
	
			
				 (B)
			Special Record Dates.  The Company may, but is not required to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent or take any other action in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 9.  If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ‎Section 9.04(A), only Persons who are Holders as of such record date (or their duly designated proxies) will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, regardless of whether such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; provided,  however, that no such consent will be valid or effective for more than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after such record date.




			
	
			
				 (C)
			Solicitation of Consents.  For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to the consent of a Holder will be deemed to include any such consent obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, any Notes.




			
	
			
				 (D)
			Effectiveness and Binding Effect.  Each amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 9 will become effective in accordance with its terms and, when it becomes effective with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof), will thereafter bind every Holder of such Note (or such portion).




			
	
			
				 Section 9.05.
			Notations and Exchanges.




		
			If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee or the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder.  Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the changed terms.  The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Note pursuant to this ‎Section 9.05 will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

			Trustee and the Collateral Agent to Execute Supplemental Indentures.




		
			The Trustee and the Collateral Agent will execute and deliver any amendment or supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the Notes or the Intercreditor Agreement authorized pursuant to this Article 9;  provided,  however, that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent need not (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) execute or deliver any such amendment or supplemental indenture that adversely affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s rights, duties, liabilities or immunities.  In executing any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 8.01 and 8.02) will be fully protected in relying on, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or
