Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted       Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date       of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the       notice of the proposed payment.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in       writing of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the       Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and       the special record date therefor to be delivered to each Holder at its address as it appears       in the Note Register, or by electronic means to the Depositary in the case of Global       Notes, not less than 10 days prior to such special record date.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the       calculation of the Defaulted Amounts.               (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other       lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or       automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance,       and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation       system, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed                                         15

The Notes shall be  signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile or other electronic  signature of any of its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer,  Secretary or any of its Executive or Senior Vice Presidents.         At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the  Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together  with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in  accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any  further action by the Company hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive  an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Company with respect to the issuance,  authentication and delivery of such Notes.

Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent)   upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so   authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled   to the benefits of this Indenture.          In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to   be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the   Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and   delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such   Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons   as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company,   although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such an Officer.          Section 2.05.  Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Depositary.  (a) The   Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained   in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section   4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,   the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes.  Such register   shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a   reasonable period of time.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-  Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section   2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of   the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations                                         16

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like   aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or   agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02.  Whenever any Notes are so   surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and   deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration   numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.         All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase  or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co- Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of  transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its  attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.         No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any  co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but  the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or  similar issue or transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required in connection  therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such exchange or  registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered  for exchange or registration of transfer or otherwise required by law.          None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be   required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a   portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for   conversion, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not   withdrawn) in accordance with Article 15 or (iii) any Notes selected for redemption in   accordance with Article 16, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part    or (iv) any Notes between a Regular Record Date and corresponding Interest Payment Date.           All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance  with this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and  entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration  of transfer or exchange.         (b)  So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary,  unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(c)   all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”)  registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary.  The transfer and  exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical  Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in  accordance with this Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.         (c)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions  set forth in this Section 2.05(c)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part                                         17                                                                                  





 






 except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to  the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee  to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for exchange of a  Global Note or a portion thereof for one or more Physical Notes in accordance with the second  immediately succeeding paragraph.         The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act.  The  Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to  each Global Note.  Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the  name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as  custodian for Cede & Co.         If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or   unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed   within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the   Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of   Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and, subject to the Depositary’s   applicable procedures, a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein   be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an   Officer’s Certificate and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall   authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in   a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial   owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each   beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal   amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such   Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be   canceled.          Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to   this Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as   the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in   the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner,   shall instruct the Trustee.  Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such   Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.          At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, redeemed,   repurchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the   Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary   and the Custodian.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is   exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, redeemed, repurchased or transferred to a   transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred   for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with   the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be   appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on   such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such   reduction or increase.                                          18                                                                                  





 






      None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent or any other  agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for the payment of  amounts to owners of beneficial interest in a Global Note, for any aspect of the records relating  to or payments made on account of those interests by the Depositary, or for maintaining,  supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such beneficial ownership  those interests.        (d)  Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any  actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.         Section 2.06.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  In case any Note shall become  mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its  written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate  and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in  exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so  destroyed, lost or stolen.  In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the  Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or  indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability,  cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction,  loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to  such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such  Note and of the ownership thereof.         The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and  deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and,  if applicable, such authenticating agent may require.  No service charge shall be imposed by the  Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the  issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to  cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or other similar governmental  charge required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new  substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became  mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen.  In case any Note that has matured or is about to  mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase or is about to be converted in accordance  with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its  sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or  authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated  Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the  Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or  indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost  or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss  or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent  or Conversion Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.         Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of  the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual  obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at  any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set                                        19                                                                                 





 






 forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued   hereunder.  To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express   condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment,   conversion, redemption or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall   preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or   hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, conversion,   redemption or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.          Section 2.07.  Temporary Notes.  Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the   Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall,   upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or   lithographed).  Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and   substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations   as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company.  Every   such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such   authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with   the same effect, as the Physical Notes.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute   and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global   Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be   surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant   to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in   exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes upon   the written request of the Company.  Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own   expense and without any charge therefor.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all   respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture   as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.          Section 2.08.  Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc.  The Company shall cause all   Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange or   conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s   agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  All Notes   delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it, and no Notes shall be authenticated in   exchange therefor except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture.  The   Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after  such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company upon the   Company’s written request in a Company Order.          Section 2.09.  CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”  numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all  notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may  state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the  Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers  printed on the Notes.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change  in the “CUSIP” numbers.           Section 2.10.  Additional Notes; Repurchases.  The Company may, without the consent  of or notice to the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue                                         20                                                                                  





 






 additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other   than differences in the issue date, the issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date of such   additional Notes and, if applicable, restrictions on transfer in respect of such additional Notes) in   an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not   fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax or securities law   purposes, such additional Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers.  Any   additional Notes will be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture except as   set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.10. Prior to the issuance of any such additional   Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officer’s Certificate and   an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters   required by Section 17.05.  In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and   directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company),   repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or   through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private   agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives, in each case, without prior   written notice to Holders.  The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes   repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee   for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08 and such Notes shall no longer be considered   outstanding under this Indenture upon their repurchase and, upon receipt of a Company Order   and an Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall cancel all Notes so surrendered.                                      ARTICLE 3                             SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE          Section 3.01.  Satisfaction and Discharge.  This Indenture shall upon request of the   Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate cease to be of further effect, and the Trustee, at   the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the  Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (a) (i) all Notes  theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (x) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or  stolen and which have been replaced, paid or converted as provided in Section 2.06 and (y)  Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held  in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as  provided in Section 4.04(d)) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) the  Company has deposited with the Trustee or delivered to Holders, as applicable, after the Notes  have become due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, any  Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, upon conversion or otherwise, cash or cash, shares of  Common Stock or a combination thereof, as applicable, solely to satisfy the Conversion  Obligation, sufficient, without consideration of reinvestment, to pay all of the outstanding Notes  and all other sums due and payable under this Indenture by the Company; and (b) the Company  has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that  all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this  Indenture have been complied with.  Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this  Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.06 shall survive.                                           21                                                                                  





 






                                  ARTICLE 4                       PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY         Section 4.01.  Payment of Principal and Interest.  The Company covenants and agrees  that it will cause to be paid the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental  Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, each of the  Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes.           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company may,  to the extent it is required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes  imposed by the United States of America from principal, premium or interest (including any  Additional Interest) payments hereunder         Section 4.02.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Company will maintain in the  contiguous United States of America an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for  registration of transfer or exchange or for payment or repurchase (“Paying Agent”) or for  conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in  respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Company will give prompt written  notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If  at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to  furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands  may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office in the United States of America as a place  where Notes may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer.         The Company may also from time to time designate as co-Note Registrars one or more  other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such  purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation  or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or  agency in the contiguous United States of America so designated by the Trustee as a place for  such purposes.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such  designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.   The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other  offices or agencies, as applicable.         The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Note  Registrar, Custodian and Conversion Agent and the Corporate Trust Office as the office or  agency in the contiguous United States of America where Notes may be presented for  registration of transfer or exchange or for payment or repurchase or for conversion and where  notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be  served; provided that no office of the Trustee shall be a place for service of legal process on the  Company.         Section 4.03.  Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office.  The Company,  whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner  provided in Section 7.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.                                         22                                                                                 





 






      Section 4.04.  Provisions as to Paying Agent.  (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying  Agent other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver  to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the  provisions of this Section 4.04:                (i)  that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the        principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if        applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the        Holders of the Notes;               (ii)  that it will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any failure by the        Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the        Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest        on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and               (iii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon        request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust.         The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the  Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and  unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum in immediately available U.S.  Dollars sufficient to pay such principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental  Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless such Paying  Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to  take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be  received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.        (b)  If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due  date of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase  Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and  hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal  (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) and  accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of  any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the  principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if  applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and  payable.        (c)  Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at  any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any  other reason, pay, cause to be paid or deliver to the Trustee all sums or amounts held in trust by  the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums or  amounts to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment or  delivery by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying  Agent shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.  Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i), the Trustee  shall automatically become the Paying Agent.                                         23                                                                                 





 






     (d)  Subject to applicable escheatment laws, any money or property deposited with the  Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the  principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if  applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on and the consideration due upon conversion of any  Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Redemption  Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), interest or consideration due  upon conversion has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on request of the  Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate, or (if then held by the Company) shall be  discharged from such trust and the Trustee shall have no further liability with respect to such  funds; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to  the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with  respect to such trust money and shares of Common Stock, and all liability of the Company as  trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.         Section 4.05.  Existence.  Subject to Article 11, the Company shall do or cause to be done  all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

(a) The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15  days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission (giving effect to any grace  period provided by Rule 12b-25 (or any successor rule) under the Exchange Act), copies of any  documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to  Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any such information, documents or reports,  or portions thereof, subject to confidential treatment and any correspondence with the  Commission).  Any such document or report that the Company files with the Commission via the  Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to be filed with the  Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06 at the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR  system (or any successor thereto), it being understood that the Trustee shall not be responsible  for determining whether such filings have been made.          (b)  Delivery of the reports and documents described in subsection (a) above to the  Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute  actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from  information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants  hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).         Section 4.07.  Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.  The Company covenants (to the extent  that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner  whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other  law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of  or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter  in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company  (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such  law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the  execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of  every such power as though no such law had been enacted.                                         24                                                                                 





 






       Section 4.08.  Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults.  The Company shall   deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company   (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020) an Officer’s Certificate stating   whether the signers thereof know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during the   previous year.          In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence   thereof, written notice of any Event of Default or Default, its status and what action the   Company is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof; provided that the Company will not be   required  to deliver such notice if such Event of Default or Default is no longer continuing or has   been cured.          Section 4.09.  Further Instruments and Acts.  Upon request of the Trustee, the Company   will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably   necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.                                      ARTICLE 5              LISTS OF HOLDERS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE          Section 5.01.  Lists of Holders.  The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or   cause to be furnished to the Trustee, semi-annually, not more than 5 days after each April 15 and   October 15 in each year beginning with October 15, 2020, and at such other times as the Trustee  may request in writing, within 5 days after receipt by the Company of any such request (or such  lesser time as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to enable it to timely provide any  notice to be provided by it hereunder), a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require  of the names and addresses of the Holders as of a date not more than 15 days (or such other date  as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to so provide any such notices) prior to the time  such information is furnished, except that no such list need be furnished so long as the Trustee is  acting as Note Registrar.         Section 5.02.  Preservation and Disclosure of Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve, in as  current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the  Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 or maintained  by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar, if so acting.  The Trustee may destroy any list  furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.                                      ARTICLE 6                               DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES          Section 6.01.  Events of Default.  Each of the following events shall be an “Event of   Default” with respect to the Notes:         (a)  default in any payment of interest on any Note when due and payable, and the   default continues for a period of 30 days;                                          25

      Section 6.02.  Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment.  If one or more Events of Default  shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and  whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any  judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or  governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default  specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Company), unless the principal  of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders  of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in  accordance with Section 8.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given  by Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the  Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become  and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the  Notes contained to the contrary notwithstanding.  If an Event of Default specified in Section  6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, 100% of the  principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall  automatically be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of  the Trustee or any Holder.           The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any  time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any  judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as  hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to  pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the principal of any and all  Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue  installments of accrued and unpaid interest, and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes  at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and if (1) rescission  would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any  and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the  principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely  by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09, then and in every  such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority  in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company  and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and  rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist,  and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose  of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect  any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment  shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment  of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price,  if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes, (ii) a failure to repurchase any  Notes when required or (iii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due  upon conversion of the Notes.         Section 6.03.  Additional Interest.  Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the  Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default                                         27                                                                                 





 






relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(a) or  its failure to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act  (together, the “Reporting Obligations”) shall, for the first 360 days after the occurrence of such  an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at  a rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each  day during the first 180 calendar days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default during  which such an Event of Default is continuing (or, if earlier, the date on which such Event of  Default is cured or waived as provided for in this Indenture) and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the  principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day from, and including, the 181st calendar  day to, but excluding, the 360th calendar day following the occurrence of such an Event of  Default during which such Event of Default is continuing (or, if earlier, the date on which such  Event of Default is cured or waived as provided for in this Indenture). If the Company so elects,  such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated  interest payable on the Notes.  On the 361st day after such an Event of Default (if the Event of  Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its Reporting Obligations is not cured  or waived prior to such 361st day), the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided  in Section 6.02.  The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders in the  event of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Company’s failure to comply with  its Reporting Obligations. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest  following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03 or the Company elected to  make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be  immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.         In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 360 days  after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its  Reporting Obligations in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company  must notify all Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of such election prior to the  beginning of such 360-day period.  Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall  be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.         Section 6.04.  Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor.  If an Event of Default  described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the  Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of  the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any,  with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such  time, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts  due to the Trustee under Section 7.06.  If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith  upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a  judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such  proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any  other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the  manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes,  wherever situated.         In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the  reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United  States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy                                        28                                                                                 





 






or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or  taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such  other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such  other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other  obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and  payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the  Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be  entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a  claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in  respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and  other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable  in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,  expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders  allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes,  its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other  property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction  of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in  bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by  each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in  the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,  to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and  disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the  Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.  To the extent that  such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the  estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be  secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies,  securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such  proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or  otherwise.         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent  to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,  adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to  authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.         All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the  Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the  production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or  proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express  trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable  compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be  for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.         In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the  interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee  shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any  Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.                                        29                                                                                 





 






       In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and   such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant   to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason   or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the   Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be   restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and   powers of the Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall continue as though no such   proceeding had been instituted.          Section 6.05.  Application of Monies Collected by Trustee.  Any monies or property   collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the   following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies,   upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid,   and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:          First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee in any of its capacities hereunder  under Section 7.06;         Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be  unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default  in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the  case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee)  upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be  made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;          Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by   declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if   applicable, the payment of the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and   any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest,   if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been   collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at   such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due   and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the   Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon   conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest   over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any   Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the   Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon   conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and          Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.          Section 6.06.  Proceedings by Holders.  Except to enforce the right to receive payment of   principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change   Repurchase Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the   consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by   availing of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to institute any suit, action or proceeding                                         30                                                                                  





 






in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a  receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy  hereunder, unless:         (a)  such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of  Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;        (b)  Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then  outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or  proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;        (c)  such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity  satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;        (d)  the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such  security or indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or  proceeding; and         (e)  no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written  request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate  principal amount of the Notes then outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to Section  6.09,    it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of  every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall  have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this  Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that  the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is  unduly prejudicial to any other Holder), or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference  to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner  herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as  otherwise provided herein).  For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and  every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in  equity.         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the  right of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal  (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of,  (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of,  such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this  Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case  may be, on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected  without the consent of such Holder.         Section 6.07.  Proceedings by Trustee.  In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in  its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such  appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either                                        31                                                                                 





 






 by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the   specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the   exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right   vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.         Section 6.08.  Remedies Cumulative and Continuing.  Except as provided in the last  paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to   the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any   thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes,   by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants   and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any   Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of   Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such   Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section   6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders   may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or   by the Holders.          Section 6.09.  Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders.    The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding   determined in accordance with Section 8.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method and   place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any   trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a)   such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the   Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with   such direction.  The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly   prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability   or for which it has not received indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability   or expense (it being understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain   whether or not any such direction is unduly prejudicial to any other Holder).  The Holders of a   majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in   accordance with Section 8.04 may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past   Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of   accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Redemption Price, any   Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant   to the provisions of Section 6.01, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may   be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant   or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent   of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected.  Upon any such waiver the Company, the   Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights   hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of   Default or impair any right consequent thereon.  Whenever any Default or Event of Default   hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of   Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and   to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event   of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.                                          32                                                                                  





 






       Section 6.10.  Notice of Defaults.  The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence   and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has been notified in   writing or has actual knowledge, deliver to all Holders notice of all such Defaults known to a   Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of   such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of   (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), or   accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment or delivery of the   consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if   and so long as it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of   the Holders.          Section 6.11.  Undertaking to Pay Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each   Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may,   in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this   Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the   filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that   such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and   expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of   the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section   6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any   suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in   principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section  8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal  of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the  Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Notes being  repurchased as provided in this Indenture) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in  such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with  the provisions of Article 14.                                      ARTICLE 7                               CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE          Section 7.01.  Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.  The Trustee, prior to the   occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written   notice or actual knowledge and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have   occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in   this Indenture.  In the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a   Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee shall   exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of   care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances   in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is   continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under   this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered   (and, if requested, provided) to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any                                          33                                                                                  





 






 loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or   direction.          No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for   its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful   misconduct, except that:         (a)  prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the   Trustee has written notice or actual knowledge and after the curing or waiving of all Events of  Default that may have occurred:                 (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the        express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the         performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture         and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the         Trustee; and                (ii)  in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the        Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the        correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished        to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of        any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to        be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to         determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need         not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts         stated therein);         (b)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a  Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was  grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;         (c)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be   taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a   majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as   provided in Section 8.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for   any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,   under this Indenture;         (d)  whether or not therein provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the   conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee shall be subject to the   provisions of this Section;         (e)  the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of   amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the   Company or any Paying Agent or any records maintained by any co-Note Registrar with respect   to the Notes;                                          34                                                                                  





 






      (f)  if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant   to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on   its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred;         (g)  in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying  Agent, Conversion Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent or transfer agent hereunder, the rights and  protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 shall also be afforded to such   Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent or transfer   agent; and         (h)  under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity for the  obligations evidenced by the Notes.         None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or  risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its   duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. The Trustee will be under no obligation to   exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the   Holders unless such Holder has offered (and, if requested, provided) to the Trustee indemnity or   security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.          Section 7.02.  Reliance on Documents, Opinions, Etc.  Except as otherwise provided   in Section 7.01:         (a)  the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting upon any  resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,  judgment, order, bond, note, coupon or other paper or document (whether in its original or  facsimile form) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented  by the proper party or parties;         (b)  any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be  sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be  herein specifically prescribed); and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a  copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;         (c)  the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and require an Opinion of  Counsel and any written or verbal advice of such counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and  complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in  good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;         (d)  the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters  stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,  direction, consent, judgment, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee,  in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it  may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it  shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by  agent or attorney at the expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by  reason of such inquiry or investigation;                                          35                                                                                  





 






      (e)  the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any   duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys and   the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent,   custodian, nominee or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder;          (f)  the permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as   duties;         (g)  the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the  performance of its powers and duties hereunder;          (h)  the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting  forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified  actions pursuant to this Indenture; and         (i)  the Trustee shall not be obligated to take possession of any Common Stock,  whether upon conversion or in connection with any discharge of this Indenture pursuant to  Article 3 hereof, but shall satisfy its obligation as Conversion Agent by working through the  stock transfer agent of the Company from time to time as directed by the Company.          In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any consequential, punitive, incidental, special  or indirect loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even  if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the  form of action.  The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of  Default with respect to the Notes, unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual  knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of  Default shall have been actually received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the   Company or by any Holder of the Notes at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice references   the Notes and/or this Indenture.          Section 7.03.  No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc.  The recitals contained herein and in   the Notes (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of   the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.  The   Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the   Notes.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any   Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity   with the provisions of this Indenture or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s   direction under any provision of the Indenture.         Section 7.04.  Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents, Bid Solicitation Agent or Note  Registrar May Own Notes.  The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent, Bid  Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company or any Affiliate thereof) or Note Registrar, in its  individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights  it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent  or Note Registrar.                                           36                                                                                  





 






      Section 7.05.  Monies to Be Held in Trust.  All monies received by the Trustee shall, until  used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were  received.  Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds  or property except to the extent required by law.  The Trustee shall be under no liability for  interest or investment income on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed  from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.         Section 7.06.  Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.  The Company covenants and  agrees to pay to the Trustee, in any capacity under this Indenture, from time to time, and the  Trustee shall be entitled to, compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any  capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a  trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between the Trustee and the  Company, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable  expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance  with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity thereunder (including the reasonable  compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons  not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been  caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable  decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company also covenants to indemnify the  Trustee in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into  in connection herewith and its officers, directors, attorneys, employees and agents and any  authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim (whether asserted by  the Company, a Holder or any Person), damage, liability or expense incurred without gross  negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, its officers, directors,  attorneys,    agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, as determined by  a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, and arising out of or in  connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or in any other capacity  hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of  liability in the premises.  The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate  or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and  advances shall be secured by a senior lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all  money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of Section 6.05,  funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes.  The Trustee’s  right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to  any other liability or indebtedness of the Company.  The obligation of the Company under  this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the payment or  conversion of the Notes and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.  The Company  need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be  unreasonably withheld.  The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the  officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees of the Trustee.         Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when  the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an  Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) occurs, the expenses and the  compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any  bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.                                         37                                                                                 





 






       Section 7.07.  Officer’s Certificate as Evidence.  Except as otherwise provided in Section   7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it   necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any   action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically   prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct on the part of the   Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate   delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or   willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action   taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.          Section 7.08.  Eligibility of Trustee.  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which   shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a   combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.  If such Person publishes reports of   condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or   examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of   such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent   report of condition so published.  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in   accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and   with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.         Section 7.09.  Resignation or Removal of Trustee.  (a) The Trustee may at any time resign  by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company.  Upon receiving such notice of  resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in  duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be  delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee.  If no successor trustee  shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of  such notice of resignation to the Company, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten Business Days’  notice to the Company and the Holders and at the expense of the Company, petition any court of  competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a   bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Indenture)   may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, on behalf of himself or herself and all others   similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee.  Such court   may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a   successor trustee.         (b)  In case at any time any of the following shall occur:                 (i)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions         of Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or         by any such Holder, or                (ii)  the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a         bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or         any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs         for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,                                          38                                                                                  





 






 then, in either case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a   successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of   Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one   copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, any Holder who has   been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this   Indenture) may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any   court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor   trustee.  Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and   prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.         (c)  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time   outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may at any time remove the Trustee   and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless   within ten days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in   which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise   as in Section 7.09(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an   appointment of a successor trustee.         (d)  Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee  pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of  appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.         Section 7.10.  Acceptance by Successor Trustee.  Any successor trustee appointed as  provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its  predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the  resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor  trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,  powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally  named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the  successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it  pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such  successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act.  Upon request of any  such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more  fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers.   Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior lien to which the Notes are hereby  made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for  funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due  it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.         No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at  the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions  of Section 7.08.         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10,  each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the  Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder  to the Holders.  If the Company fails to deliver such notice within ten days after acceptance of                                         39                                                                                  





 






 appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be   delivered at the expense of the Company.         Section 7.11.  Succession by Merger, Etc.  Any corporation or other entity into which the  Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or  other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be   a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate   trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the   successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act   on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other   entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such   corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.          In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this   Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor   to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or   authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so   authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any   successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may   authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of   the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is   anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have;   provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor   trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its   successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.          Section 7.12.  Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company.  Any application   by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action   proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders   of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any   action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or   after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective.  The Trustee shall not   be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal   included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall   not be less than three Business Days after notice to the Company has been deemed to have been   given pursuant to Section 17.03, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any   earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any   omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture   in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.                                      ARTICLE 8                              CONCERNING THE HOLDERS          Section 8.01.  Action by Holders.  Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the   Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any                                          40                                                                                  





 






action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or  waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the  Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument  or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or  proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any  meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, or (c) by  a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of  Holders.  Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders  of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may fix, but shall not be required to, in advance of  such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action.   The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of  commencement of solicitation of such action.         Section 8.02.  Proof of Execution by Holders.  Subject to the provisions of Section  7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its  agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and  regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the  Trustee.  The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the  Note Registrar.  The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided  in Section 9.06.         Section 8.03.  Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners.  The Company, the Trustee, any  authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may  deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may  treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and  notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other  than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account  of the principal (including any Redemption Price and any Fundamental Change Repurchase  Price) of and (subject to Section 2.03) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion  of such Note and for all other purposes under this Indenture; and neither the Company nor the  Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be  affected by any notice to the contrary.  The sole registered holder of a Global Note shall be the  Depositary or its nominee.  All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time  being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common Stock  so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares  deliverable upon any such Note.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or  the Notes following an Event of Default, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may  directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or  any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such  beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this  Indenture.         Section 8.04.  Company-Owned Notes Disregarded.  In determining whether the Holders  of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent,  waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Company, by any  Subsidiary thereof or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under  direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be                                        41                                                                                 





 






 disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination;   provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying   on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes with respect to which a   Responsible Officer has received written notice that such Notes are so owned shall be so   disregarded.  Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as   outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction   of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not   the Company, a Subsidiary thereof or a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by   or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or a Subsidiary thereof.  In the   case of a dispute as to such right, any decision or indecision by the Trustee taken upon the advice   of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.  Upon request of the Trustee, the Company   shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if   any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above   described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such   Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all   Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.          Section 8.05.  Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound.  At any time prior to (but   not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action   by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this   Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to   be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing   written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as   provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note.  Except as aforesaid,   any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such   Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in   exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether   any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or   substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

      (c)  to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto   pursuant to the provisions of Article 10; or         (d)  to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders of any  specified aggregate principal amount of the Notes under any other provision of this Indenture or  under applicable law.

Section 9.03.  Call of Meetings by Company or Holders.  In case at any time the  Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least 10% of the aggregate  principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a  meeting of Holders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be  taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have delivered the notice of such meeting within  20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders may determine the time  and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized  in Section 9.01, by delivering notice thereof as provided in Section 9.02.         Section 9.04.  Qualifications for Voting.  To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders  a Person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Notes on the record date pertaining to such meeting  or (b) be a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by a Holder of one or more  Notes on the record date pertaining to such meeting.

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

The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman  and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the  other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots  voted at the meeting.         Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein  stated.         Section 9.07.  No Delay of Rights by Meeting.  Nothing contained in this Article 9 shall  be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders or  any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay  in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders  under any of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes. Nothing contained in this Article 9  shall be deemed or construed to limit any Holder’s actions pursuant to the applicable procedures  of the Depositary so long as the Notes are Global Notes.                                          44

Without the   consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may from time   to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more   of the following purposes:         (a)  to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;         (b)  to provide for the assumption by a Successor Company of the obligations of the  Company under this Indenture pursuant to Article 11;         (c)  to add guarantees with respect to the Notes;         (d)  to secure the Notes;         (e)  to add to the covenants or Events of Default of the Company for the benefit of the  Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company under this Indenture or the   Notes;         (f)  to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder under   this Indenture or the Notes, as determined by the Company in good faith;         (g)  in connection with any Merger Event, to provide that the Notes are convertible into  Reference Property, subject to the provisions of Section 14.02 and in accordance with Section  14.07;         (h)  to increase the Conversion Rate as provided in this Indenture;         (i)  to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes as provided for in Section 2.10 of  this Indenture;         (j)  to provide for the appointment of and acceptance of appointment by a successor  trustee pursuant to Section 7.09 or to facilitate the administration of the trusts under this  Indenture by more than one trustee;         (k)  to irrevocably elect a Settlement Method or a Specified Dollar Amount, or  eliminate the Company’s right to elect a Settlement Method (provided that no such election or  elimination will affect any Settlement Method previously elected (or deemed to be elected) with  respect to any Note);         (l)  to conform the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the  “Description of Notes” section of the Prospectus, as certified by the Company in an Officer’s  Certificate; or         (l)   comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the  qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.                                          45                                                                                  





 






       Upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee is hereby authorized to, and shall   join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further   appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, except that the Trustee   shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that   affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or   otherwise.          Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.01 may be   executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes   at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02.          Section 10.02.  Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.  With the consent   (evidenced as provided in Article 8) of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate   principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (determined in accordance with Article 8 and   including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or   exchange offer for, the Notes), the Company and the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may   from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for   the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the   provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any   manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that, without the consent of each Holder of  an outstanding Note affected, no such supplemental indenture shall:         (a)  reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an  amendment;         (b)  reduce the rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note;         (c)  reduce the principal of or extend the Maturity Date of any Note;         (d)  make any change that adversely affects the conversion rights of any Notes;         (e)  reduce the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any  Note or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the Holders the Company’s obligation to  make such payments, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants,  definitions or otherwise;         (f)  make any Note payable in money, or at a place of payment, other than that stated in  the Note;         (g)  change the ranking of the Notes;          (h)  impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal and interest on such  Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any  payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Note; or         (i)  make any change in this Article 10 that requires each Holder’s consent or in the  waiver provisions in Section 6.02 or Section 6.09.                                          46                                                                                  





 






       Upon the written request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of   evidence of the consent of the requisite Holders as aforesaid and subject to Section 10.05, the   Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such   supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, privileges, indemnities or   immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but   shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.          Holders do not need under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any   proposed supplemental indenture.  It shall be sufficient if such Holders approve the substance   thereof.  After any such supplemental indenture becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to   the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice briefly describing such supplemental indenture.   However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not   impair or affect the validity of the supplemental indenture.          Section 10.03.  Effect of Supplemental Indentures.  Upon the execution of any   supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10, this Indenture shall be and   be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights,   limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the   Company and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder   subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of   any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of   this Indenture for any and all purposes.          Section 10.04.  Notation on Notes.  Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution   of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 may, at the   Company’s request and expense, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any   matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.  If the Company or the Trustee shall so   determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company,   to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the   Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated upon receipt of a   Company Order by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee  pursuant to Section 17.10) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon  surrender of such Notes then outstanding.          Section 10.05.  Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished   Trustee.  In addition to the documents required by Section 17.05, the Trustee shall receive an   Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental   indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 10 and is   permitted or authorized by this Indenture and that the supplemental indenture constitutes the   legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Subject to the   provisions of Section 11.02, the Company shall not consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell,                                         47                                                                                  





 






convey, transfer or lease in one transaction or a series of transactions all or substantially all the  consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to  another Person, unless:        (a)  the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the  Company, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of  America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the  Company) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the  Company under the Notes and this Indenture; and        (b)  immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default  shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture.         For purposes of this Section 11.01, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or  substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to  another Person, which properties and assets constitute all or substantially all of the properties and  assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the sale, conveyance,  transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to another  Person.

In case of any such  consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the  Successor Company, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, of all of  the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture, such Successor Company (if  not the Company) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of  the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect  as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and may thereafter exercise every  right and power of, the Company under this Indenture.  Such Successor Company thereupon may  cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or  all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company  and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the  Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the  Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes  that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the  Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to  be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.  All the Notes so issued shall in all  respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or  thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had  been issued at the date of the execution hereof.  In the event of any such consolidation, merger,  sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 11  the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture (or any successor  that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 11) may be  dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such  Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its  obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.                                         48                                                                                 





 






       In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such   changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to   be issued as may be appropriate.          Section 11.03.  Opinion of Counsel to Be Given to Trustee.  No such consolidation,   merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease shall be effective unless the Trustee shall receive an   Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such   consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption and, if a   supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental   indenture, complies with the provisions of this Article 11.                                     ARTICLE 12           IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS          Section 12.01.  Indenture and Notes Solely Corporate Obligations.  No recourse for the   payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest on any Note, nor for any claim based   thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant  or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note,  nor because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any  incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, Officer or director or Subsidiary, as such, past,  present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the  Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of   law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly   understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and   as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes.                                     ARTICLE 13                               INTENTIONALLY OMITTED                                     ARTICLE 14                                CONVERSION OF NOTES          Section 14.01.  Conversion Privilege.  (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the   provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option,   to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or a   multiple thereof) of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section   14.01(b), at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding   February 1, 2025 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 14.01(b),   and (ii) regardless of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), on or after February 1, 2025   and prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date,   in each case, at an initial conversion rate of [●] shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment   as provided in this Article 14, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes                                          49

(b)  (i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding  February 1, 2025, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any  time during the five Business Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day  period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of  Notes, as determined following a written request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with  this Section 14.01(b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of  the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on  each such Trading Day.  The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent  pursuant to this Section 14.01(b)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Indenture.   The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the  Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested such  determination in writing, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if  the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall have no obligation to  determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes) unless a Holder of at least  $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes provides the Company with reasonable  evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of  the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate, at  which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent in writing (if other than the  Company) to determine, or if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company  shall determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes beginning on the next  Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal  amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of  the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. At such time as the Company directs the Bid  Solicitation Agent in writing to solicit bid quotations, the Company shall provide the Bid  Solicitation Agent with the names and contact details of the three independent nationally  recognized securities dealers selected by the Company, and the Company shall direct those  security dealers to provide bids to the Bid Solicitation Agent. Any such determination will be  conclusive absent manifest error. If (x) the Company is not acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, and  the Company does not, when the Company is required to, instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to  obtain bids, or if the Company so instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid  Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination, or (y) the Company is acting as Bid  Solicitation Agent and the Company fails to make such determination. then, in either case, the  Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the  product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each  Trading Day of such failure.  If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the  Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the  Trustee) in writing.  If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been  met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of  the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for  such date, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if  other than the Trustee) in writing, and thereafter neither the Company nor the Bid Solicitation  Agent (if other than the Company) shall be required to solicit bids (or determine the Trading                                         50                                                                                 





 






Price of the Notes as set forth in this Indenture) again until a new Holder request is made  pursuant to this Section 14.01(b)(i).                (ii)  If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately        preceding February 1, 2025, the Company elects to:                      (A)   issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any              rights, options or warrants (other than in connection with a stockholder rights              plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the              announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the              Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last              Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day              period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date              of announcement of such issuance; or                      (B)   distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock              the Company’s assets, securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company              (other than in connection with a stockholder rights plan prior to the separation of              such rights from the Common Stock), which distribution has a per share value, as              reasonably determined by the Company, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported              Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of              announcement for such distribution,   then, in either case, the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the  Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing at least 40 Scheduled Trading Days prior  to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution.  Once the Company has given such  notice, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time until the  earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend  Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such issuance  or distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.               (iii) If (i) a transaction or event that constitutes (x) a Fundamental Change or        (y) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the close of business on the        Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2025, regardless of whether a Holder        has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 15.02,        or (ii) if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or        transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its assets that occurs prior to the close of        business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2025, in each case        pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other        assets (other than a merger effected solely to change the Company’s jurisdiction of        incorporation that does not otherwise constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a        Fundamental Change), then, in each case, all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be        surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the effective date of the transaction        or event until 35 Trading Days after the actual effective date of such transaction or event        or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related        Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.  The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee        and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing as promptly as practicable                                        51                                                                                 





 






      following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction or event, but in no        event later than the actual effective date of such transaction or event.               (iv) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding       February 1, 2025, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at       any time during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on        September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale        Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive)        during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last        Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to        130% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day.               (v)   If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption pursuant        to Article 16 prior to the Maturity Date, then a Holder may surrender all or any portion of        its Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled        Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if such Notes are not otherwise        convertible at such time.  After that time, the right to convert such Notes on account of        the Company’s delivery of a Redemption Notice shall expire, unless the Company        defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of Notes may        convert all or a portion of its Notes until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly        provided for.          Section 14.02.  Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.          (a)  Subject to this Section 14.02, Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), upon  conversion of any Note, the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by paying or  delivering, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal  amount of Notes being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together  with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in  accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of  cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering  any  fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02  (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 14.02.                (i)  All conversions occurring (x) on or after February 1, 2025 or (y) during a        Redemption Period shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.                 (ii)  Except for any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs        during a Redemption Period and any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date       occurs on or after February 1, 2025, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method       for all conversions occurring on the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not       have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that       occur on different Conversion Dates.              (iii) If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or one of the periods described in        the fourth immediately succeeding set of parentheses, as the case may be), the Company        elects a Settlement Method, the Company shall deliver a written notice (the “Settlement                                        52                                                                                 





 






Notice”) of the Settlement Method so elected in respect of such Conversion Date (or such  period, as the case may be) to converting Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent  (if other than the Trustee) no later than the close of business on the Trading Day  immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions  (x) occurring (i) during a Redemption Period, in such Redemption Notice, or (ii) on or  after February 1, 2025, no later than the close of business on the Business Day  immediately preceding February 1, 2025, or (y) for which the Company has irrevocably  elected Combination Settlement, with a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal  amount of Notes of $1,000, to apply pursuant to the provisions described in the  immediately succeeding paragraph, in the related notice described in such paragraph).  If  the Company does not timely elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in  the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect  Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement for such conversion or during such period and the  Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its  Conversion Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of  Notes shall be equal to $1,000.  Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant  Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant  Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal  amount of Notes.  If the Company delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination  Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified  Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in such Settlement Notice, the  Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be  $1,000.               By written notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent,  the Company may, prior to February 1, 2025, irrevocably elect Combination Settlement,  with a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes of $1,000, to apply  to all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs subsequent to the date  of delivery of such notice; provided that any such election that is made during a  Redemption Period (but after the Redemption Notice Date) will not apply to any  conversions of Notes with Conversion Dates that occur during such Redemption Period.         (iv)  The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of  Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall  be computed as follows:                (A)   if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in        respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to        the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being        converted a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in        effect on the Conversion Date;                (B)   if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in        respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the        converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being        converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for                                   53                                                                           





 






            each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period;              and                      (C)   if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its              Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement,              the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000              principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the              sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 30 consecutive Trading              Days during the related Observation Period.                 (v)   The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion        Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last        day of the Observation Period.  Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement        Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash        payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall        notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the        Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the        amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional shares of Common Stock.  The        Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility        for any such determination.        (b)  Subject to Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert  a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the  procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time for converting a beneficial interest in a Global  Note and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to  which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h) (and, if required, pay all  transfer or similar taxes, if any, as set forth in Section 14.02(d) and  Section 14.02(e)) and (ii) in  the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the  Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile, PDF or other  electronic transmission thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion  Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or  names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares  of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered,  (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by  appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if  required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds  equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled  as set forth in Section 14.02(h).  The Trustee (and, if different, the Conversion Agent) shall  notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 14 on the Conversion Date for  such conversion.  No Notes may be surrendered for conversion by a Holder thereof if such  Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect  of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in  accordance with Section 15.03.         If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same  Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of                                         54                                                                                 





 






 the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted   thereby) so surrendered.         (c)  A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of  business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the  requirements set forth in subsection (b) above.  Except as set forth in Section 14.03(b)  and Section 14.07(a), the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration  due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following  the relevant Conversion Date, if the Company elects Physical Settlement, or on the second  Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, in  the case of any other Settlement Method; provided that, with respect to any Conversion Date  occurring during a Redemption Period, the Company will settle any such conversion for which  Physical Settlement is applicable on the relevant Redemption Date; provided further that,  notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Conversion Date occurring on or after  February 1, 2025, the Company will settle any such conversion for which Physical Settlement is  applicable on the Maturity Date.  If any shares of Common Stock are due to converting Holders,  the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to such Holder, or such Holder’s  nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full  number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the  Company’s Conversion Obligation.         (d)  In case any Physical Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company  shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the  Holder of the Physical Note so surrendered a new Physical Note or Physical Notes in authorized  denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the  surrendered Physical Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but,  if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any  documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by  law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the  new Physical Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of  the old Physical Notes surrendered for such conversion.         (e)  If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any  documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or other similar governmental charge due on  any issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the  Holder requests any such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which  case the Holder shall pay that tax.  The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates  representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name  until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in  accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.           (f)  Except as provided in Section 14.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on  any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article  14.         (g)  Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian  at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in                                         55                                                                                  





 






 the principal amount represented thereby.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of   any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.         (h)  Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued  and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below.  The Company’s settlement of the full  Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal  amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant   Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant   Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or   forfeited.  Upon a conversion of Notes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock,   accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such   conversion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on   a Regular Record Date and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Interest Payment   Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive   the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date   notwithstanding the conversion.  Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the   close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately   following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest   payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for   conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if   the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular   Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately succeeding the corresponding  Interest Payment Date; (3) for conversions during any Redemption Period; or (4) to the extent of  any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such  Note.  Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date  immediately preceding the Maturity Date shall receive the full interest payment due on the  Maturity Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such  Regular Record Date.         (i)  The Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock  delivered upon conversion is registered shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such shares  of Common Stock as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company  elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading  Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion  Obligation by Combination Settlement), as the case may be.  Upon a conversion of Notes, such  Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.         (j)  The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon   conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of   Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion   Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day   of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). For each Note   surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected (or is deemed to have elected)   Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof   shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant   Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in   cash.                                           56                                                                                  





 






       Section 14.03.  Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in   Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes or During a Redemption Period.  (a)  If  (x) the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date  and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental   Change or (y) the Company issues a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 16.02 and a Holder   elects to convert its Notes during the related Redemption Period, the Company shall, under the   circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for   conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as   described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection   with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received   by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole   Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related   Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change  that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition  thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole  Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”).         (b)  Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole  Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(iii) or upon surrender of Notes during a  Redemption Period, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation  by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section  14.02 based on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Additional Shares pursuant to the  table below; provided, however, that if, the Reference Property in any Make-Whole Fundamental  Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change is composed entirely of  cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole  Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock  Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal  amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any increase to reflect the  Additional Shares), multiplied by such Stock Price.  In such event, the Conversion Obligation  shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the  Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent  (if other than the Trustee) of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no  later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.         (c)  The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be  increased for conversions during the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period or, with respect  to conversions of Notes, during the Redemption Period shall be determined by reference to the  table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or  becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) or the Redemption Notice Date, as applicable and the  price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of Common Stock in the Make- Whole Fundamental Change or on the Redemption Notice Date, as applicable, as set forth in  this Section 14.03.  If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common  Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition  of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share.  In the case of  any other Make-Whole Fundamental Change or in the case of any Optional Redemption, the  Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the                                          57                                                                                  





 






  five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately    preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the Redemption Notice   Date, as the case may be.  In the event that a Conversion Date occurs during both a Redemption   Period and a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period, a Holder of any such Notes to be   converted will be entitled to a single increase to the Conversion Rate with respect to the first to   occur of the applicable Redemption Notice Date or Effective Date, and the later event shall be   deemed not to have occurred for purposes of this Section 14.03.          (d)  The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be   adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate for the Notes is otherwise adjusted.  The   adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such   adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately   prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which   is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.  The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table   below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set   forth in Section 14.04.          (e)  The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the   Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section   14.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date or Redemption Notice Date, as applicable, set   forth below:     Effective Date /                             Stock Price  Redemption Notice  Date                                                                            May [●],  2020                                                                             ...............................

May 1,  2025                                                                             ...............................   The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates or Redemption Notice Dates, may not be set forth in   the table above, in which case:                  (i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the         Effective Date or the Redemption Notice Date, as the case may be, is between two         Effective Dates or Redemption Notice Dates, as applicable, in the table above, the         number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be         determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set         forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates or         Redemption Notice Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;                                           58                                                                                   





 






             (ii)  if the Stock Price is greater than $[●] per share (subject to adjustment in         the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above         pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion         Rate; and                 (iii) if the Stock Price is less than $[●] per share (subject to adjustment in the         same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above         pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion         Rate.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal   amount of Notes exceed [●] shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner   as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.         (f)  Nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate   that would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 14.04.          Section 14.04.  Adjustment of Conversion Rate.  The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted   from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the   Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes   participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or   exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and   solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04,   without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal   to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes   held by such Holder.         (a)  If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or   distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share   combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:                                              OS'                                 CR' = CR 0 ×                                                OS0   where,    CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-            Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of             business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as             applicable;   CR'    =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-            Dividend Date or Effective Date;   OS0    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open              of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date (before giving effect to              any such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination); and                                         59                                                                                  





 






OS'   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving             effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.   Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the  open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after  the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as  applicable.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is  declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective  as of the date the Company determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the  Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been  declared.        (b)  If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any  rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the  announcement date of such issuance, 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 of Common Stock  for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day  immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be  increased based on the following formula:                                           OS0 + X                               CR'= CR0 ×                                                 OS0 + Y  where,   CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-            Dividend Date for such issuance;   CR'   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-            Dividend Date;   OS0   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open             of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;   X     =    the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights,             options or warrants; and   Y     =    the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to             exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last             Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day             period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date             of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.   Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such  rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of  business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance.  To the extent that shares of the Common  Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion                                        60                                                                                 





 






 Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with   respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of   only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  If such rights, options or   warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that   would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.          For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether  any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase  shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the  Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading  Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the  aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any  consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount  payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to  be determined by the Company.           (c)  If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its  indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its  Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, to all or substantially all holders of the  Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment  was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid  exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(d),  (iii) distributions of Reference Property in a transaction described in Section 14.07 and (iv) Spin- Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply (any of such  shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or  warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the   Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:                                              SP0                               CR'= CR0 ×                                                   SP0 − FMV   where,    CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-            Dividend Date for such distribution;   CR'    =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-            Dividend Date;   SP0    =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10              consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day              immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and    FMV   =    the fair market value (as determined by the Company) of the Distributed Property              with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend              Date for such distribution.                                          61                                                                                  





 






 Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective   immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such  distribution is not paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate  that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. In the case of any   distribution of rights, options or warrants, to the extent such rights, options or warrants expire   unexercised, the applicable Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted to the applicable   Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase made for the distribution of such   rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of   Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as  defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect  of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of  the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property  such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock  equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.           With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a   payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of   any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to any Subsidiary or other business   unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S.   national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the   following formula:                                          FMV0  + MP0                              CR'= CR0 ×                                                        MP0   where,    CR0   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;    CR'   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;   FMV0   =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity              interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the              Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale              Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to              such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading              Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the              “Valuation Period”); and    MP0   =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the              Valuation Period.    The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of   business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that (x) in respect of any   conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date   occurs during the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the portion of this Section 14.04(c)                                         62                                                                                  





 






 related to Spin-Offs shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have   elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the   Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of   Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day   that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Valuation   Period, references to “10” in the portion of this Section 14.04(c) related to Spin-Offs shall be  deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including,  the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the  Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day of such Observation Period. If any dividend or  distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate  shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Company determines not to pay or  make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such  dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.         For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 14.11), rights,  options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling  them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common  Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the  occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred  with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in  respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed  for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under  this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event,  whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an  appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under  this Section 14.04(c).  If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights,  options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the  occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different  securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and  each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect  to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or  warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the  holders thereof).  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights,  options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the  immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of  calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under  this Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall  all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final  redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or  warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give  effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it  were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder  or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such  holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of  the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants                                          63                                                                                  





 






 that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the   Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.          For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), if any   dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:           (A)   a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 14.04(a)   is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or          (B)   a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b)   is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),    then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and   the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section   14.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment   required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made,  and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately  follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section  14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined  by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B  Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II)  any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution  shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex- Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding  immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning  of Section 14.04(b).         (d)  If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the  Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:                                              SP0                                CR' = CR 0 ×                                                 SP0 − C  where,   CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-            Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;   CR'    =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-            Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;   SP0    =    the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day              immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and    C     =    the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all              holders of the Common Stock.                                          64                                                                                  





 






 Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open   of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution.  If such dividend or   distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the   Company determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate   that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as   defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each   $1,000 principal amount of Notes it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders   of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if   such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect   on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.           (e)  If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or   exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than any odd-lot tender offer), to the extent that the  cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common  Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10  consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next  succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or  exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:                                         AC + (SP'×OS')                             CR'= CR0 ×                                                        OS0 ×SP'  where,   CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th              Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next              succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;    CR'   =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th              Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next              succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;    AC    =    the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the              Company) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender              or exchange offer;    OS0   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date              such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all              shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or              exchange offer);    OS'   =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date              such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all              shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or              exchange offer); and                                          65                                                                                  





 






 SP'   =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10              consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day              next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.   The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall occur at the close of  business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next  succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that (x) in respect of any  conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date  occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next  succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in  this Section 14.04(e) shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have  elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date that such tender or  exchange offer expires to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion  Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination  Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period  for such conversion and within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the  Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to  “10” or “10th” in this Section 14.04(e) shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of  Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the   expiration date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, such Trading Day in   determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.    If the Company or its Subsidiaries are obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant   to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 14.04(e) but is permanently   prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are  rescinded, the applicable Conversion Rate will be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that  would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made  only in respect of the purchases that have been made.          (f)  Notwithstanding this Section 14.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the  Notes, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a  Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the  related Record Date would be deemed to be the record holder of the shares of Common Stock as  of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 14.02(i) based on an adjusted  Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate  adjustment provisions in this Section 14.04, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex- Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be  treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted  basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such  adjustment.          (g)  Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the  issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for  shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such  convertible or exchangeable securities.                                          66                                                                                  





 






      (h)  In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of   this Section 14.04, and subject to the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market,  the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of  at least 20 Business Days if the Company determines that such increase would be in the  Company’s best interest.  In addition, subject to the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq  Capital Market, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the applicable Conversion  Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of  Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or  rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event.         (i)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Conversion Rate  shall not be adjusted:                 (i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present        or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the        Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of        Common Stock under any plan;                (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to        purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant        benefit or incentive plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the        Company’s Subsidiaries;               (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option,        warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in        clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;                (iv) upon the repurchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open-       market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer        or exchange offer of the nature described in Section 14.04(e);                (v)  solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or                (vi) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.         (j)  The Company shall not be required to make an adjustment pursuant to  clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 14.04 unless such adjustment would result in a  change of at least 1% of the then effective Conversion Rate. However, notwithstanding the  foregoing, the Company shall defer and carry forward any adjustment that the Company would  otherwise have to make and take that adjustment into account in any subsequent adjustment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such carried-forward adjustments shall be made with respect  to the Notes (i) where the aggregate of all such carried-forward adjustments equals or exceeds  1% of the Conversion Rate and (ii) regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than  1% of the Conversion Rate, (w) on the Conversion Date for any Notes (in the case of Physical  Settlement), (x) on each Trading Day of any Observation Period  with respect to any Notes (in  the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement), (y) the effective date of a Fundamental  Change or the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (z) February 1, 2025.                                         67                                                                                  





 






 All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company   and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.         (k)  Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall  promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s  Certificate setting forth (i) the adjusted Conversion Rate, (ii) the subsection of this Section 14.04   pursuant to which such adjustment has been made, showing in reasonable detail the facts upon   which such adjustment is based and (iii) the date as of which such adjustment is effective (which  certificates shall be conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such adjustment absent manifest  error).  Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s  Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the  Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has  knowledge is still in effect.  Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall  prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion  Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of  such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not  affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.         (l)  For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any  time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company  so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of  Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares of Common Stock  issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.         Section 14.05. Adjustments of Prices.  Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires  the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily  Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including,  without limitation, an Observation Period and the period, if any, for determining the Stock Price  for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Company shall make appropriate  adjustments in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to each to account for any  adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment  to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or expiration date of the  event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily  VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.           Section 14.06.  Shares to Be Fully Paid.  The Company shall provide, free from  preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient  shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes  are presented for conversion (assuming delivery of the maximum number of Additional Shares  pursuant to Section 14.03 and that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such  Notes would be converted by a single Holder and that Physical Settlement is applicable).         Section 14.07.  Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common  Stock.           (a)  In the case of:                                          68                                                                                  





 






              (i)  any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock         (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),                 (ii)  any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,                 (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets         of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or                 (iv) any statutory share exchange,     in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for,   stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any   such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the   right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert   such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or   other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of   shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event   would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”, with each “unit of  Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one  share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the  effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the  case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section  10.01(g) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of  Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (A) the  Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or  delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 and  (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section  14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Common Stock that the Company  would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section  14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of  that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Merger Event and (III) the  Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.         If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the   right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form   of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible   shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually   received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of   the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i)   attributable to one share of Common Stock.  If the holders of the Common Stock receive only   cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date   occurs after the effective date of such Merger Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion   of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the   Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares   pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such   Merger Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to   converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion                                         69                                                                                  





 






 Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the   Trustee) in writing of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is   made.          Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph   shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that are as nearly equivalent as possible to   the adjustments provided for in this Article 14.  If, in the case of any Merger Event, the   Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets of a Person   other than the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation (excluding, for the avoidance   of doubt, cash paid by such surviving company, successor or purchasing corporation), as the case   may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such   other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as  the Company reasonably considers necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the  provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 15.         (b)  When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a)  of this Section 14.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate  briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that  will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be  made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall  promptly deliver or cause to be delivered notice thereof to all Holders.  The Company shall cause  notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20  days after execution thereof.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity  of such supplemental indenture.         (c)  The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are  consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a  holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash  and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior  to the effective date of such Merger Event.         (d)  The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger  Events.          (e)  Upon the consummation of any Merger Event, references to “Common Stock” shall  be deemed to refer to any Reference Property that constitutes capital stock after giving effect to  such Merger Event.         Section 14.08.  Certain Covenants.  (a) The Company covenants that all shares of  Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the  Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.         (b)  The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for   the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any   governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may   be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules   and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.                                         70                                                                                  





 






      (c)  The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be   listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will list   and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated   quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.          Section 14.09.  Responsibility of Trustee.  The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent  shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the  Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any  adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or  extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method  employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the  same.  The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the  validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities,  property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note;  and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto.   Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the  Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other  securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to  comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this  Article.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion  Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained  in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or  amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon  the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any  adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may  accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any  such provisions, and shall be protected in conclusively relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate and   Opinion of Counsel (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the   execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor the   Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated   by Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer   eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the   notices referred to in Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such   conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely,   and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent   immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for   in Section 14.01(b). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither the Trustee nor any   other agent acting under this Indenture (other than the Company, if acting in such capacity) shall  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 14.10.  Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.  In case of any:           (a)  action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment  in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 or Section 14.11;                                         71                                                                                  





 






     (b)  Merger Event; or        (c)  voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or  any of its Subsidiaries;   then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another  provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the  Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder, as promptly as  possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a  notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the  Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the  holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the  Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is  expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common  Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution,  liquidation or winding-up.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the  legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event,  dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.         Section 14.11.  Stockholder Rights Plans.  If the Company has a stockholder rights plan  in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such  conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the  certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such  legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan,  as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes,  the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of  the applicable stockholder rights plan so that the Holders would not be entitled to receive any  rights in respect of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the  Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or  substantially all holders of the Common Stock Distributed Property as provided in Section  14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of  such rights.         Section 14.12.  Exchange In Lieu Of Conversion.  (a) When a Holder surrenders its Notes  for conversion, the Company may, at its election, direct the Conversion Agent to surrender, on or  prior to the Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, such Notes to  one or more financial institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Institution”)  for exchange in lieu of conversion (an “Exchange Election”).  In order to accept any Notes  surrendered for conversion for exchange in lieu of conversion, the Designated Institution(s) must  agree to timely pay or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, cash, shares of  Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s  election, that would otherwise be due upon conversion as described in Section 14.02 above or  such other amount agreed to by the converting Holder and the Designated Institution(s) (the  “Conversion Consideration”). If the Company makes the election described above, the  Company shall, by the close of business on the Business Day following the relevant Conversion  Date, notify in writing the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion, the Trustee and the                                        72                                                                                 





 






 Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), that it has made such election, and the Company   shall notify the Designated Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion   Consideration and the type of Conversion Consideration to be paid and/or delivered (unless the   form of Conversion Consideration has been otherwise agreed by the Holder and the Designated   Institution(s) as set forth in this Section 14.12. Any Notes exchanged by any Designated   Institution will remain outstanding, subject to applicable procedures of the Depositary.         (b)  If any Designated Institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange but does not  timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the related Conversion Consideration to the   Conversion Agent, or if such Designated Institution does not accept such Notes for exchange, the   Company shall, within the time period specified in Section 14.02(c), pay or deliver, as the case   may be, the Conversion Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.02 as if   the Company had not made the Exchange Election.         (c)  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Company’s designation of a   Designated Institution pursuant to this Section 14.12 require such Designated Institution to   accept any Notes for exchange.                                     ARTICLE 15                      REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS          Section 15.01.  Intentionally Omitted.            Section 15.02.  Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.  (a)  If a   Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the   right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s   Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof properly surrendered and not validly   withdrawn pursuant to Section 15.03 that is equal to $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000, on the date   (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than   20 or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company  Notice (provided that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be subject to  postponement in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law as a result of  changes to such applicable law occurring after the date hereof) at a repurchase price equal to  100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding,  the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”),   unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or   prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the   Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the Holder of record   as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to   100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 15.  Any Notes   so repurchased by the Company shall be paid for in cash.          (b)  Repurchases of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the   Holder thereof, upon:                                          73                                                                                  





 






              (i)  delivery to the paying agent by a Holder of a duly completed written        notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in        Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical        Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in        Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of        business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change        Repurchase Date; and                (ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the paying agent         at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with         all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the paying agent,         or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the         procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by         the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.          The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased   shall state:                 (i)  in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be         delivered for repurchase;                (ii)  the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which         must be $1,000 or a multiple thereof; and                (iii) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the         applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;    provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase   Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the paying   agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have   the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any   time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental   Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the paying agent in   accordance with Section 15.03.          The paying agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any  Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.         (c)  On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of the effective date of a   Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders and the Trustee and the paying   agent (in the case of a paying agent other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Fundamental   Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change   and of the resulting repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof.  In   the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes,                                          74                                                                                  





 






 such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.    Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:                 (i)  the events causing the Fundamental Change;                (ii)  the effective date of the Fundamental Change;                (iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant         to this Article 15;                (iv)  the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;                (v)  the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;                (vi) the name and address of the paying agent and the Conversion Agent, if        applicable;               (vii) if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion        Rate as a result of such Fundamental Change (or related Make-Whole Fundamental        Change);              (viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase        Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder validly        withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of        this Indenture; and                (ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to        repurchase their Notes.         No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit  the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the  Notes pursuant to this Section 15.02.          At the Company’s request, given at least five days prior to the date the Fundamental  Change Company Notice is to be sent, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name  and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such  Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.         (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on  any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the  Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such  date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the  payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The paying  agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during  the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by  the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such  Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the  procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been canceled, and, upon such return or                                         75                                                                                  





 






 cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect   thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.         (e)  The Company shall not be required to repurchase or make an offer to repurchase   Notes upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change otherwise required under this Section 15.02   if a third party makes such an offer to purchase Notes in the same manner, at the same time and   otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in   this Indenture and such third party purchases all Notes properly surrendered and not validly   withdrawn under such offer to purchase.          Section 15.03.  Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.  (a)  A  Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a  written notice of withdrawal received by the paying agent in accordance with this Section 15.03  at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant  Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:                 (i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of        withdrawal is being submitted, which must be $1,000 or a multiple thereof,                (ii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the Notes in        respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and               (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the        original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal        amounts of $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000;   provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with appropriate  procedures of the Depositary.         Section 15.04.  Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.  (a)  The Company  will deposit with the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company, or if the  Company is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided  in Section 4.04) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change  Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased  at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.  Subject to receipt of funds and/or  Notes by the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes  surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day  immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of  (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions  in Section 15.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the  Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner  required by Section 15.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such  Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that   payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the   account of the Depositary or its nominee.  The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and   upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the   Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.                                         76                                                                                  





 






      (b)  If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase   Date, the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to   pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Notes to be repurchased on the   Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly  surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn in accordance with the  provisions of this Indenture, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to   accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the   Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or paying agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders   of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase   Price).         (c)  Upon surrender of a Physical Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant   to Section 15.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the   Holder a new Physical Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the   unrepurchased portion of the Physical Note surrendered.          Section 15.05.  Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes.  In   connection with any repurchase offer pursuant to this Article 15, the Company will, if required:         (a)  comply with the provisions of any tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that   may then be applicable;         (b)  file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and         (c)  otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any   offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes;    in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 15 to be exercised in the   time and in the manner specified in this Article 15.                                     ARTICLE 16                                OPTIONAL REDEMPTION          Section 16.01.  Optional Redemption.  The Notes shall not be redeemable by the   Company prior to May 6, 2023.  On or after May 6, 2023, the Company may, at its option,   redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at the Redemption   Price, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the   Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during   any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on,   and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides   the Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 16.02.          Section 16.02.  Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes.  (a)  In case the   Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part   of the Notes pursuant to Section 16.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption   Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than 5 Business Days prior                                         77                                                                                  





 






 to the date such Redemption Notice is to be sent (or such shorter period of time as may be   acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall   deliver or cause to be delivered a written notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Redemption   Notice”) not less than 40 nor more than 50 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption   Date to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Paying Agent, and each   Holder of Notes so to be redeemed as a whole or in part; provided, however, that, if the   Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the   Trustee.  The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.         (b)  The Redemption Notice, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be  conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.   In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice or any defect in the Redemption Notice to   the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the   validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.         (c)  Each Redemption Notice shall specify:                 (i) the Redemption Date;                (ii) the Redemption Price;               (iii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and        payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to        accrue on and after the Redemption Date;                 (iv) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of        the Redemption Price;                (v)  that Holders of Notes may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time        prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the        Redemption Date;                (vi) the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes and        the Settlement Method;                (vii) the Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares        added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 14.03;               (viii) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes;        and                (ix) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal        amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of        such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall        be issued, which principal amount must be $1,000 or a multiple thereof.   A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.                                          78                                                                                  





 






      (d)  If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be   redeemed will be selected according to the Depositary’s applicable procedures, in the case of  Notes represented by a Global Note, or, in the case of Notes represented by Physical Notes, the  Trustee shall select, pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and  fair, Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part.  If any Note selected for partial redemption is  submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for  conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption,  subject, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, to the Depositary’s applicable  procedures.         Section 16.03.  Payment of Notes Called for Redemption.  (a)  If any Redemption Notice  has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02, the Notes called for  redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated  in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price.  On presentation and  surrender of such Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, such Notes shall   be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.         (b)  Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company   shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is acting   as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 7.05 an amount of   cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the   Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to   receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the   Redemption Date for such Notes.  The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and   upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the   Redemption Price.          Section 16.04.  Restrictions on Redemption.  The Company may not redeem any Notes on   any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance with the terms   of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption   Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the   payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).                                     ARTICLE 17                              MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS          Section 17.01.  Provisions Binding on Company’s Successors.  All the covenants,   stipulations, promises and agreements of the Company contained in this Indenture shall bind its   successors and assigns whether so expressed or not.          Section 17.02.  Official Acts by Successor Corporation.  Any act or proceeding by any   provision of this Indenture authorized or required to be done or performed by any board,   committee or Officer of the Company shall and may be done and performed with like force and   effect by the like board, committee or officer of any corporation or other entity that shall at the   time be the lawful sole successor of the Company.                                          79                                                                                  





 






      Section 17.03.  Addresses for Notices, Etc.  Any notice or demand that by any provision  of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders  on the Company shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes if  given or served by being deposited postage prepaid by registered or certified mail in a post office  letter box addressed (until another address is filed by the Company with the Trustee) to  NeoGenomics, Inc., 12701 Commonwealth Dr., Suite 9, Fort Myers, Florida 33913, Attention:  General Counsel. Any notice, direction, request or demand hereunder to or upon the Trustee  shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or served by  being deposited postage prepaid by registered or certified mail in a post office letter box  addressed to the Corporate Trust Office or sent electronically in PDF format (it being agreed that  such notice to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all  purposes, if it is in writing and actually received by the Trustee).         The Trustee, by notice to the Company, may designate additional or different addresses  for subsequent notices or communications.         Any notice or communication delivered or to be delivered to a Holder of Physical Notes  shall be mailed to it by first class mail, postage prepaid, at its address as it appears on the Note  Register and shall be sufficiently given to it if so mailed within the time prescribed. Any notice  or communication delivered or to be delivered to a Holder of Global Notes shall be delivered in  accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary and shall be sufficiently given to it  if so delivered within the time prescribed.         Failure to mail or deliver a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall  not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.  If a notice or communication is mailed or  delivered, as the case may be, in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the  addressee receives it.         In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other  cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification as  shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every  purpose hereunder.         Section 17.04.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE,  AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO  THIS INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED  IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.         The Company irrevocably consents and agrees, for the benefit of the Holders from time  to time of the Notes and the Trustee, that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with  respect to obligations, liabilities or any other matter arising out of or in connection with this  Indenture or the Notes may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the  United States located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York and, until  amounts due and to become due in respect of the Notes have been paid, hereby irrevocably  consents and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in personam, generally  and unconditionally with respect to any action, suit or proceeding for itself in respect of its  properties, assets and revenues.                                          80                                                                                 





 






       The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by   law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the   aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Indenture brought   in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States located in the Borough   of Manhattan, New York City, New York and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally   waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding   brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.          Section 17.05.  Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent; Certificates and   Opinions of Counsel to Trustee.  Upon any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee   to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the   Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such action is permitted   by the terms of this Indenture and that in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if   any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with. With  respect to matters of fact, an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate or  certificates of public officials.         Each Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for, by or on behalf of the  Company in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with this  Indenture (other than the Officer’s Certificates provided for in Section 4.08) shall include (a) a   statement that the person signing such certificate is familiar with the requested action and this   Indenture; (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation   upon which the statement contained in such certificate is based; (c) a statement that, in the  judgment of such person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to  enable him or her to express an informed judgment as to whether or not such action is permitted  by this Indenture; and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the judgment of such person, such  action is permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been complied  with.

Section 17.09.  Table of Contents, Headings, Etc.  The table of contents and the titles and   headings of the articles and sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of   reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any   of the terms or provisions hereof.         Section 17.10.  Authenticating Agent.  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent  that shall be authorized to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and  delivery of Notes in connection with the original issuance thereof and transfers and exchanges of  Notes hereunder, including under Section 2.04, Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section  10.04 and Section 15.04 as fully to all intents and purposes as though the authenticating agent  had been expressly authorized by this Indenture and those Sections to authenticate and deliver  Notes.  For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the  authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the  Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an  authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the  Trustee’s certificate of authentication.  Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person  eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 7.08.         Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged or  converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from  any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or  any corporation or other entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any authenticating  agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation  or other entity is otherwise eligible under this Section 17.10, without the execution or filing of  any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such  successor corporation or other entity.         Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation  to the Trustee and to the Company.  The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any  authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to  the Company.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case  at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee may  appoint a successor authenticating agent (which may be the Trustee), shall give written notice of  such appointment to the Company.         The Company agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable  compensation for its services although the Company may terminate the authenticating agent, if it  determines such agent’s fees to be unreasonable.         The provisions of Section 7.02, Section 7.03, Section 7.04, Section 8.03 and this Section  17.10 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.                                          82                                                                                  





 






       If an authenticating agent is appointed pursuant to this Section 17.10, the Notes may have   endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative   certificate of authentication in the following form:   __________________________,  as Authenticating Agent, certifies that this is one of the Notes described   in the within-named Indenture.

Section 17.15.  Calculations.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall be   responsible for making all calculations called for under the Notes.

The Company shall make all these   calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Company’s calculations shall be final   and binding on Holders.  The Company shall provide a schedule of its calculations to each of the   Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Trustee and Conversion Agent is entitled to   rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent   verification.  The Company will forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder upon the   written request of that Holder at the sole cost and expense of the Company.          Section 17.16.  U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.  The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance   with Section 326 of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in  order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify,  and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or  opens an account with the Trustee.

PATRIOT Act.

The Notes shall be redeemable at the Company’s option on or after May 6, 2023, in   accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Indenture.
