Each holder of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares shall have the right, upon the delivery of a written notice to the Company, to convert any Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Share held by it into that number of fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares based on the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate at the time in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.3. *[Reserved]***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4. *Conversion Procedures***. Each conversion of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares shall be effected by the surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares to be converted (the "**Converting Shares**") at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the holders of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares) at any time during its usual business hours, together with written notice by the holder of such Converting Shares, (i) stating that the holder desires to convert the Converting Shares, or a specified number of such Converting Shares, evidenced by such certificate(s) into Ordinary Shares (the "**Converted Shares**"), and (ii) giving the name(s) (with addresses) and denominations in which the Converted Shares should either be registered with the Company's transfer agent and registrar for the Ordinary Shares (the "**Ordinary Shares Transfer Agent**") on the register of members of the Company and, if certificated, and, in either case, instructions for the delivery of a statement evidencing book-entry ownership of the Converted Shares or the certificates evidencing the Converted Shares. Within three (3) Business Days upon receipt of the notice described in the first sentence of this Section 5.4, together with the certificate(s) evidencing the Converting Shares (if any), the Company shall be obligated to, and shall, cause the Conversion Shares to be issued in accordance with such instructions, and deliver, as applicable, either (x) the updated register of members of the Company, or an extract thereof, from the Ordinary Shares Transfer Agent evidencing ownership of the Converted Shares, registered in the name of the holder or its designee on the register of members of the Company, or (y) certificate(s), if any, evidencing the Converted Shares and, if applicable, a certificate (which shall contain such applicable legends, if any, as were set forth on the surrendered certificate(s)) representing any shares which were represented by the certificate(s) surrendered to the Company in connection with such conversion but which were not Converting Shares and, therefore, were not converted. All or some Converted Shares so issued whether in book-entry form only or in certificated form may be subject to restrictions on transfer as required by applicable federal and state securities laws. Any such Converted Shares subject to restrictions on transfer under applicable federal and state securities laws shall be encumbered by stop transfer orders and restrictive legends (or equivalent encumbrances). Such conversion, to the extent permitted by law, shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which such certificate(s) shall have been surrendered and such written notice shall have been received by the Company unless a later date has been specified by such holder, and at such time the rights of the holder of such Converting Shares as such holder shall cease, and the Person(s) in whose name or names the Converted Shares are to be issued either in book-entry form or certificated form, as applicable, upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of record of the Converted Shares. The conversion of Converting Shares shall be effected by the compulsory redemption without notice of the Converting Shares and the automatic application of the redemption proceeds in paying for Converted Shares into which the Converting Shares have been converted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.5. *Effect of Conversion***. Upon the issuance of the Converted Shares in accordance with Section 5.4, such shares shall be deemed to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6. *Adjustments for Ordinary Share Dividends and Distributions***. If the Company at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional Ordinary Shares, in each such event the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate then in effect shall be increased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date. To the extent an adjustment is made in respect of the foregoing pursuant to Section 5.7 or the holder actually receives the dividend to which any such adjustment relates, an adjustment shall not be made pursuant to this Section 5.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.7. *Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Ordinary Shares***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares or the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional Ordinary Share Equivalents, without payment of any consideration by such holder for additional Ordinary Share Equivalents (including the additional Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend, distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate then in effect shall be appropriately increased so that the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of each such Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Share shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding Ordinary Shares and shares issuable with respect to Ordinary Share Equivalents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any time is decreased by a combination, consolidation, reclassification or reverse share split of the outstanding Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, following the record date of such combination, the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate then in effect shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of each such Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Share shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Ordinary Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.8. *Recapitalizations***. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares (other than a subdivision, combination, merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 5), provision shall be made so that the holder of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares and Noteholders shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares the number of Shares or other securities or property of the Company to which a holder of Ordinary Shares would have been entitled on recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holder of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares and Noteholders after the recapitalization to the effect that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.9. *Mergers and Other Reorganizations***. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a reclassification of the Ordinary Shares (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 5) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other Person, then, as a part of and as a condition to the effectiveness of such reclassification, merger, consolidation or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the the holder of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares and Noteholders shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares the number of Shares or other securities or property, if any, of the Company or of the successor entity resulting from such reclassification, merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled in connection with such reclassification, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights of the holder of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares and Noteholders after the reclassification, merger, consolidation or sale to the effect that the provisions of this Section 5 (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, with respect to any Shares, securities or property to be deliverable thereafter upon the conversion of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares.

Each holder of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares, upon the occurrence of a reclassification, merger or consolidation of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all its assets and properties, as such events are more fully set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 5.9, shall have the option of electing treatment of its Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares under either this Section 5.9 or Section 3.3 hereof, notice of which election shall be submitted in writing to the Company at its principal offices no later than ten (10) days before the effective date of such event, provided that any such notice of election shall be effective if given not later than fifteen (15) days after the date of the Company's notice pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof with respect to such event, and, provided, further, that if any holder of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares fails to give the Company such notice of election, the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall govern the treatment of such holder's Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares upon the occurrence of such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.10. *Notices of Record Date***. In the event (i) the Company fixes a record date to determine the holders of Ordinary Shares who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) there occurs any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to each Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (a) the date of such record date for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (b) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (c) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Ordinary Shares (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares or other securities for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.11. *No Impairment***. The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holders against impairment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.12. *Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Fractional shares issuable to a Holder upon conversion shall be permitted. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares of each Holder at the time converting into Ordinary Shares and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate of any Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Share pursuant to this Section 5, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Ordinary Share Conversion Rate at the time in effect, and (C) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of such Holder's Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares. The provisions of Section 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 and 5.9 shall apply to any transaction and successively to any series of transactions that would require any adjustment pursuant thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.13. *Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion***. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares (taking into account the adjustments required by this Section 5), free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares issued and outstanding or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Notes; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Notes, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holders, the Company will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, take all such action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary and within its lawful power to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) No Note will be valid until it is authenticated by an authorized signatory of the Trustee. A Note will be deemed to be duly authenticated only when an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or a duly appointed authenticating agent) manually or electronically signs the certificate of authentication of such Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Trustee will cause an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or a duly appointed authenticating agent) to manually or electronically sign the certificate of authentication of a Note only if (1) the Company delivers such Note to the Trustee; (2) such Note is executed by the Company in accordance with **Section 2.02(A)**; and (3) the Company delivers a Company Order to the Trustee that (a) requests the Trustee to authenticate such Note; and (b) sets forth the name of the Holder of such Note and the date as of which such Note is to be authenticated. If such Company Order also requests the Trustee to deliver such Note to any Holder or to the Depositary, then the Trustee will promptly deliver such Note in accordance with such Company Order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. A duly appointed authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so under this Indenture, and a Note authenticated as provided in this Indenture by such an agent will be deemed, for purposes of this Indenture, to be authenticated by the Trustee. Each duly appointed authenticating agent will have the same rights to deal with the Company as the Trustee would have if it were performing the duties that the authentication agent was validly appointed to undertake.

**Section 2.03. **Initial Notes and Additional Notes**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Initial Notes*. On the Issue Date, there will be originally issued US$89,922,201 aggregate principal amount of Notes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including **Section 2.02**).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Additional Notes*. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company may, subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including **Section 2.02**), issue Additional Notes with the same terms (including the benefit of the Collateral) as the Initial Notes (except, to the extent applicable, with respect to the date as of which interest begins to accrue on such Additional Notes and the first Interest Payment Date of such additional Notes), which Additional Notes will, subject to the foregoing, be considered to be part of the same series of, and rank equally and ratably with all other, Notes issued under this Indenture; *provided*, *however*, that if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with other Notes issued under this Indenture for U.S. federal income tax or U.S. federal securities laws purposes, then such Additional Notes will be identified by a separate CUSIP or ISIN number or by no CUSIP or ISIN number. Unless the context otherwise requires, in this Indenture references to "Notes" include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes that are actually issued, including any Additional Notes that are issued as PIK Interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Accrual of Interest*. Each Note will accrue interest on the principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at the rate determined by reference to the formula below, payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in each year, until the principal of and premium, if any, on the Notes is paid or duly made available for payment. Interest on each Note will (i) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the date of issuance thereof) to, but excluding, the date of payment of such interest; and (ii) be, subject to **Section 4.02(C)**, **Section 4.03(C)** and **Section 5.02(E)** (but without duplication of any payment of interest), payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on the first Interest Payment Date set forth in the certificate representing such Note, to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The interest rate for each Interest Period will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be equal to the Compounded SOFR plus 8.0% for the relevant Interest Period. The interest rate on the Notes shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as it may be modified by United States federal law of general application. There shall be no minimum interest rate payable on the Notes.

where:

"**Compounded SOFR**", with respect to any Interest Period, means the rate computed in accordance with the following formula:

![](ex10-1_008.jpg)

where:

"**SOFR Index**", with respect to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if a SOFR Index value does not so appear as specified in (1) above at the SOFR Index Determination Time, unless both a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to SOFR, the SOFR Index value as published by the SOFR Administrator as such index appears on the SOFR Administrator's Website for the most recent preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

"**SOFR Index<sub>Start</sub>**" is the SOFR Index value for the day which is five U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the first date of the relevant Interest Period;

"**U.S. Government Securities Business Day**" means any day, except for a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

If a SOFR IndexStart or SOFR IndexEnd is not published on the associated applicable date and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have not occurred with respect to SOFR Index or SOFR, "Compounded SOFR" means, for the applicable Interest Period for which such index is not available, the rate of return on a daily compounded interest investment calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for SOFR Averages, and definitions required for such formula, published on the SOFR Administrator's Website at https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/reference-rates/additional-information-about-reference-rates (or any replacement page). For the purposes of this provision, references in the SOFR Averages compounding formula and related definitions to "calculation period" shall be replaced with "Observation Period" and the words "that is, 30-, 90-, or 180- calendar days" shall be removed. If the daily SOFR ("SOFRi") does not so appear for any day "i" in the Observation Period, SOFRi for such day "i" shall be SOFR published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which SOFR was published on the SOFR Administrator's Website.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any SOFR Interest Determination Date, if the Company determines on or prior to the relevant Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of all determinations on such date and for all determinations on all subsequent dates.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Company will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Company, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) will be made in the Company's sole discretion, as applicable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the documentation relating to the Notes, shall become effective without consent from the Holders of the Notes or any other party; provided that no amendment to the Notes or the Indenture may affect the rights, protections, duties, immunities or indemnities of the Trustee or the Calculation Agent without the written consent of such Person.

"**Benchmark**" means, initially, the Compounded SOFR; *provided* that if the Company or its designee determines on or prior to the Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Compounded SOFR (including any daily published component used in the calculation thereof) or the then-current Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

"**Benchmark Replacement**" means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company as of the Benchmark Replacement Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Company as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

*provided* that the Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible for the Calculation Agent.

"**Benchmark Replacement Adjustment**" means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Company or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Company or its designee giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time;

*provided* that the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment shall be administratively feasible for the Calculation Agent.

"**Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes**" means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenors, and other administrative matters) that the Company or its designee decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Company or the Calculation Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Company determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Company or its designee determine is reasonably necessary); provided that any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes implement changes that are administratively feasible for the Calculation Agent.

"**Benchmark Replacement Date**" means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published component used in the calculation thereof):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark (or such component); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event that gives rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

"**Benchmark Transition Event**" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published component used in the calculation thereof):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

"**ISDA Fallback Adjustment**" means the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the 2021 ISDA Definitions (including the relevant matrix and any successor matrix thereto (each, a "**Matrix**"), as published by ISDA and as amended and updated as at the date hereof (the "**2021 ISDA Definitions**"), to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with respect to the Benchmark.

"**ISDA Fallback Rate**" means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions referencing the 2021 ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

Calculations relating to the Notes shall be made by an institution that the Company appoints as its agent for this purpose (the "**Calculation Agent**"). The Company has initially appointed Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB as its Calculation Agent for the Notes. The Company may appoint a different institution to serve as Calculation Agent from time to time after the date hereof.

Upon the request of a Holder of Notes, the Calculation Agent shall provide for the Notes the interest rate then in effect. The Calculation Agent's determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any Interest Period, will be final and binding in the absence of manifest or proven error, and will be made without any liability on the part of the Calculation Agent.

The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to each of the rights, protections, immunities, indemnities and reliances as afforded the Trustee under this Indenture, as if such provisions were fully set forth herein mutatis mutandis; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Calculation Agent shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, as conclusively determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, no longer subject to appeal or review, and such standard of care shall be unaffected by the occurrence or continuance of any Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or any other document to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of Compounded SOFR, SOFR Index or SOFR (or other Benchmark or any other benchmark interest rate), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Transition Date or any other date on which such rate may be required to be transitions or replaced in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, applicable law or otherwise, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement or other replacement to such rate, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or any other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or other amendments to this Agreement or the other documents are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. Neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Indenture or any other document as a result of the unavailability of Compounded SOFR, SOFR Index or SOFR (or other applicable benchmark interest rate), including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other party, including without limitation the any Holders or the Company, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and required or requested for the performance of such duties. Neither the Trustee nor the Calculation Agent shall be liable for any interest rate published by any publication that is the source for determining the interest rates of the Notes, including but not limited to Bloomberg (or any successor source) and the Bloomberg or Reuters screen (or any successor source), or for any rates compiled by the Relevant Governmental Body or any successor thereto, or for any rates published on any publicly available source, including without limitation the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Website, or in any of the foregoing cases for any delay, error or inaccuracy.

All percentages resulting from any calculation relating to the Notes shall be rounded upward or downward, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upward. For example, 9.876541% (or 0.09876541) would be rounded down to 9.87654% (or 0.0987654) and 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) would be rounded up to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655). All amounts used in or resulting from any calculation relating to the Notes shall be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest cent.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) *PIK Interest*. On each Interest Payment Date accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid, at the election of the Company, (i) entirely in cash or (ii) by capitalizing on the applicable Interest Payment Date any accrued and unpaid interest (all such accrued and unpaid interest capitalized from time to time is referred to herein as "**PIK Interest**") and by the issuance of PIK Notes in accordance with **Section 2.20**. For each Interest Payment Date, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to pay accrued and unpaid interest entirely as PIK Interest, unless at least five Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, Company has provided written notice to the Holders of its election to pay the entirety of the accrued and unpaid interest in cash (a "**Cash Pay Election**"). At the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall promptly deliver the same notice to the Holders. Following the provision of a Cash Pay Election with respect to any Interest Payment Date, accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date entirely in cash. On the Maturity Date, all accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in cash. If the Company has not delivered a Cash Pay Election with respect to an Interest Payment Date on or before five Business Days immediately prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Company shall issue PIK Notes in accordance with **Section 2.20**. PIK Notes issued shall bear interest in accordance with this **Section 2.05** and shall otherwise be treated as principal of such Notes for purposes of this Indenture, including being payable in cash in full on the Maturity Date and with respect to the accrual of interest on the PIK Interest amounts.

**Section 2.06. **Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Conversion Agent**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Generally*. The Company will maintain (i) an office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the "**Registrar**"); (ii) an office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for payment (the "**Paying Agent**"); (iii) an office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for conversion (the "**Conversion Agent**"); and (iv) an office or agency in the United States to act as transfer agent (the "**Transfer Agent**"). If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Transfer Agent, then the Trustee will act as such. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Duties of the Registrar*. The Registrar will keep a record (the "**Register**") of the names and addresses of the Holders, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, Repurchase, Fundamental Change Repurchase, Redemption, Tax Redemption and conversion of Notes. Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Trustee may conclusively treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder and the absolute owner for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) *Co-Agents; Company's Right to Appoint Successor Registrars, Paying Agents, Transfer Agents and Conversion Agents*. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars, co-Paying Agents, co-Transfer Agents and co-Conversion Agents, each of whom will be deemed to be a Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, under this Indenture. Subject to **Section 2.06(A)**, the Company may change any Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Conversion Agent (including appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act in such capacity) without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee (and, upon request, any Holder) of the name and address of each Note Agent, if any, not a party to this Indenture and will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with each such Note Agent, which agreement will implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Note Agent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) *Initial Appointments*. The Company appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent, the initial Registrar, the initial Transfer Agent and the initial Conversion Agent, and the Trustee accepts such appointments. In acting in such capacities under this Indenture and in connection with the Notes, the Trustee in such capacities will act solely as an agent of the Company and will not thereby assume any obligations towards, or relationship of agency or trust for or with, any Holder.

**Section 2.07. **Paying Agent and Conversion Agent to Hold Property in Trust**.**

The Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment and notices and demands in respect of such Notes and this Indenture may be served at the designated corporate trust office of the Paying Agent. If Physical Notes are issued, (a) the Physical Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, (b) the Physical Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment and (c) notices and demands in respect of the Physical Notes and this Indenture may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in the United States or the designated corporate trust office of the Registrar in the United States.

The satisfaction by the Company of any obligation or requirement hereunder to, or with respect to, the Paying Agent (including, without limitation, the obligation to deposit moneys) shall be deemed to constitute satisfaction of such obligation or requirement with respect to all Paying Agents hereunder.

The Company will require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that is not the Trustee to agree in writing that such Note Agent will (A) hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by such Note Agent for payment or delivery due on the Notes; and (B) notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery. The Company, at any time, may, and the Trustee, while any Default continues, may, require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to pay or deliver, as applicable, all money and other property held by it to the Trustee, after which payment or delivery, as applicable, such Note Agent (if not the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for such money or property. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then (A) it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent; and (B) references in this Indenture or the Notes to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent holding cash or other property, or to the delivery of cash or other property to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, in each case for payment or delivery to any Holder or the Trustee or with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to refer to cash or other property so segregated and held separately, or to the segregation and separate holding of such cash or other property, respectively. Upon the occurrence of any event pursuant to **clause (xii)** or **(xiii)** of **Section 7.01(A)** with respect to the Company (or with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company acting as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent), the Trustee will serve as the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, for the Notes.

**Section 2.08. **Holder Lists**.**

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee, no later than seven (7) Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request, a list, in such form and as of such date or time as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders.

**Section 2.09. **Legends**.**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each Note that is a Transfer-Restricted Security will bear the Restricted Note Legend; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) if a Note is issued in exchange for, in substitution of, another Note (such other Note being referred to as the "old Note" for purposes of this **Section 2.09(B)(ii)**), including pursuant to **Section 2.10(B)**, **Section 2.10(C)**, **Section 2.11** or **Section 2.12**, then such Note will bear the Restricted Note Legend if such old Note bore the Restricted Note Legend at the time of such exchange or substitution, as applicable; *provided*, *however*, that such Note need not bear the Restricted Note Legend if such Note does not constitute a Transfer-Restricted Security immediately after such exchange or substitution, as applicable.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) *Acknowledgment and Agreement by the Holders*. A Holder's acceptance of any Note bearing any legend required by this **Section 2.09** will constitute such Holder's acknowledgment of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.

**Section 2.10. Transfer and Exchanges; Certain Transfer Restrictions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to this **Section 2.10**, Physical Notes and beneficial interests in Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time. The Registrar will record each such transfer or exchange of Physical Notes in the Register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each Note issued upon transfer or exchange of any other Note (such other Note being referred to as the "old Note" for purposes of this **Section 2.10(A)(ii)** or portion thereof in accordance with this Indenture will be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as such old Note or portion thereof, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Company, the Trustee and the Note Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, but the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to **Section 2.11**, **Section 4.05** or **Section 8.05** not involving any transfer.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any transfer restrictions imposed under this Indenture or applicable law with respect to any Security, other than to require the delivery of such certificates or other documentation or evidence as expressly required by this Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the requirements of this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) The Trustee will have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of Redemption, Tax Redemption, Repurchase or Fundamental Change Repurchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes will be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which is the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note will be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable Depositary Procedures. The Trustee may rely and will be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Each Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another Note will bear each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09**.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix) For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the terms of this Indenture, as used in this **Section 2.10**, an "exchange" of a Global Note or a Physical Note includes (x) an exchange effected for the sole purpose of removing any Restricted Note Legend affixed to such Global Note or Physical Note; and (y) if such Global Note or Physical Note is identified by a "restricted" CUSIP number, an exchange effected for the sole purpose of causing such Global Note or Physical Note to be identified by an "unrestricted" CUSIP number.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to the immediately following sentence, no Global Note may be transferred or exchanged in whole except (x) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary; (y) by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary; or (z) by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

No Global Note (or any portion thereof) may be transferred to, or exchanged for, a Physical Note; *provided*, *however*, that a Global Note will be exchanged, pursuant to customary procedures, for one or more Physical Notes if:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar has received a written request from the Depositary, or from a holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, to exchange such Global Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, for one or more Physical Notes; or

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the Trustee will reflect any resulting decrease of the principal amount of such Global Note by notation on the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" forming part of such Global Note (and, if such notation results in such Global Note having a principal amount of zero, the Company may (but is not required to) instruct the Trustee in writing to cancel such Global Note pursuant to **Section 2.14**);

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) if required to effect such transfer or exchange, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with **Section 2.02**, a new Global Note bearing each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09**; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) if such Global Note (or such portion thereof), or any beneficial interest therein, is to be exchanged for one or more Physical Notes, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with **Section 2.02**, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note to be so exchanged; (y) are registered in such name(s) as the Depositary specifies (or as otherwise determined pursuant to customary procedures); and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Each transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in any Global Note will be made in accordance with the Depositary Procedures. Any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note that (x) has the right to request Physical Notes under this **Section 2.10(B)(i)(1) and Section 2.10(B)(i)(2)** and (y) complies with the terms to request the Physical Notes as set out herein, but not does receive Physical Notes from the Company, shall be deemed to have been issued with the Physical Notes under this **Section 2.10(B)** and shall be recognized as a creditor of the Company for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) *Transfers and Exchanges of Physical Notes*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to this **Section 2.10**, a Holder of a Physical Note may (x) transfer such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) to one or more other Person(s); (y) exchange such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) for one or more other Physical Notes in Authorized Denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Physical Note (or portion thereof) to be so exchanged; and (z) if then permitted by the Depositary Procedures, transfer such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) in exchange for a beneficial interest in one or more Global Notes; provided, however, that, to effect any such transfer or exchange, such Holder must:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) surrender such Physical Note to be transferred or exchanged to the office of the Registrar, together with any endorsements or transfer instruments reasonably required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) deliver such certificates, documentation or evidence as may be required pursuant to **Section 2.10(D)**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Physical Note (such Physical Note being referred to as the "old Physical Note" for purposes of this **Section 2.10(C)(ii)**) of a Holder (or any portion of such old Physical Note in an Authorized Denomination):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) such old Physical Note will be promptly cancelled pursuant to **Section 2.14**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if such old Physical Note is to be so transferred or exchanged only in part, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with **Section 2.02**, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such old Physical Note not to be so transferred or exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) in the case of a transfer:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to the Depositary or a nominee thereof that will hold its interest in such old Physical Note (or such portion thereof) to be so transferred in the form of one or more Global Notes, the Trustee will reflect an increase of the principal amount of one or more existing Global Notes by notation on the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" forming part of such Global Note(s), which increase(s) are in Authorized Denominations and aggregate to the principal amount to be so transferred, and which Global Note(s) bear each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09**; *provided*, *however*, that if such transfer cannot be so effected by notation on one or more existing Global Notes (whether because no Global Notes bearing each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09** then exist, because any such increase will result in any Global Note having an aggregate principal amount exceeding the maximum aggregate principal amount permitted by the Depositary or otherwise), then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with **Section 2.02**, one or more Global Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so transferred; and (y) bear each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09**; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to a transferee that will hold its interest in such old Physical Note (or such portion thereof) to be so transferred in the form of one or more Physical Notes, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with **Section 2.02**, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so transferred; (y) are registered in the name of such transferee; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09**; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) in the case of an exchange, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with **Section 2.02**, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of the Person to whom such old Physical Note was registered; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by **Section 2.09**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) *Requirement to Deliver Documentation and Other Evidence.* If a Holder of any Note that is identified by a "restricted" CUSIP number or that bears a Restricted Note Legend or is a Transfer-Restricted Security requests to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) cause such Note to be identified by an "unrestricted" CUSIP number;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) remove such Restricted Note Legend; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) register the transfer of such Note to the name of another Person, then the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar may refuse to effect such identification, removal or transfer, as applicable, unless there is delivered to the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar such certificates or other documentation or evidence as the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar may reasonably require to determine that such identification, removal or transfer, as applicable, complies with the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) *Transfers of Notes Subject to Redemption, Repurchase, Fundamental Change Repurchase or Conversion.* Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar may refuse to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that (i) has been surrendered for conversion, Repurchase or Fundamental Change Repurchase; or (ii) has been selected for Redemption or Tax Redemption pursuant to a Redemption Notice or Tax Redemption Notice, except to the extent that the Company fails to pay the applicable Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, as the case may be, when due.

**Section 2.11. **Exchange and Cancellation of Notes to Be Converted or to Be Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase or Fundamental Change Repurchase, Redemption or Tax Redemption**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Cancellation of Notes that Are Converted and Notes that Are Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase, Fundamental Change Repurchase, Redemption or Tax Redemption*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Physical Notes*. If a Physical Note of a Holder is to be converted pursuant to **Article 5** or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase, Fundamental Change Repurchase, Redemption or Tax Redemption, then, promptly after the later of the time such Physical Note is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to **Section 2.17** and the time such Physical Note is surrendered for such conversion, Repurchase, Fundamental Change Repurchase, Redemption or Tax Redemption, as applicable, (1) such Physical Note will be cancelled pursuant to **Section 2.14**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) *Global Notes*. If a Global Note is to be converted pursuant to **Article 5** or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase, Fundamental Change Repurchase, Redemption or Tax Redemption, then, promptly after the time such Note is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to **Section 2.17**, the Trustee will reflect a decrease of the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable, by notation on the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" forming part of such Global Note (and, if the principal amount of such Global Note is zero following such notation, cancel such Global Note pursuant to **Section 2.14**).

**Section 2.12. **Replacement Notes**.**

If a Holder of any Note claims that such Note has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with **Section 2.02**, a replacement Note upon surrender to the Trustee of such mutilated Note, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note, the Company and the Trustee may require the Holder thereof to provide such security or indemnity that is satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company and the Trustee from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its and the Trustee's expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this **Section 2.12** will be an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Notes issued under this Indenture.

**Section 2.13. Registered Holders; Certain Rights with Respect to Global Notes.**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Notwithstanding anything else in this Indenture to the contrary, with respect to any Global Note held through the Depositary (or a nominee thereof), each Person holding a beneficial interest in such Global Note may be considered to be a noteholder of its portion of the notes for purposes of providing any consent or direction requested by the Trustee hereunder or providing any other consent or direction contemplated hereby (for example, such Person may consent to any waiver or amendment directly without requiring the participation of the applicable clearing system or its nominee and may attend and vote at meetings of noteholders); it being understood that the Trustee must have received from (or on behalf of) such Person evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that such Person holds the beneficial interests in such Global Note that it purports to hold, and such evidence of ownership may include a securities position or participant list or other information obtained from the applicable clearing system. The Trustee shall have no liability for acting in good faith on any such consent, waiver, direction, instruction or other vote from any such Person or for the sufficiency of the evidence deemed satisfactory to the Trustee. Each beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, by its acceptance of such interest, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this **Section 2.13(B)** and waives any claim arising from actions taken by the Trustee in reliance on this **Section 2.13(B)**.

**Section 2.14. **Cancellation**.**

The Company may at any time deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent and the Conversion Agent will forward to the Trustee each Note duly surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary procedures. Without limiting the generality of **Section 2.03(B)**, the Company may not originally issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been cancelled upon transfer, exchange, payment or conversion.

**Section 2.15. **Notes Held by the Company or its Affiliates**.**

Without limiting the generality of **Section 2.17**, in determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes (if any) owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates will be deemed not to be outstanding; *provided*, *however*, that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

**Section 2.16. **Temporary Notes**.**

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

**Section 2.17. **Outstanding Notes**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Generally*. The Notes that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those Notes that, at such time, have been duly executed and authenticated, excluding those Notes (or portions thereof) that have theretofore been (i) cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with **Section 2.14**; (ii) assigned a principal amount of zero by notation on the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note" forming part of any a Global Note representing such Note; (iii) paid in full (including upon conversion) in accordance with this Indenture; or (iv) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, **clause (B)**, **(C)** or **(D)** of this **Section 2.17**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Replaced Notes*. If a Note is replaced pursuant to **Section 2.12**, then such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its replacement, unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such Note is held by a "*bona fide* purchaser" under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) *Maturing Notes and Notes Called for Redemption or Tax Redemption or Subject to Repurchase or Fundamental Change Repurchase*. If, on a Redemption Date, a Repurchase Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a Tax Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price, Tax Redemption Price, Repurchase Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, respectively, together, in each case, with the aggregate interest in each case due on such date, then (unless there occurs a Default in the payment of any such amount) (i) the Notes to be redeemed or repurchased, or that mature, on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in **Section 4.02(C)**, **Section 4.03(C)** or **Section 5.02(E)**; and (ii) the rights of the Holders of such Notes, as such, will terminate with respect to such Notes, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price, Tax Redemption Price, Repurchase Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, as applicable, of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes, in each case as provided in this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) *Notes to Be Converted*.

At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date, such Note will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional Shares due, pursuant to **Section 5.03(C)** or **Section 5.02(E)**, upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person will be deemed to be a Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date), except to the extent provided in **Section 5.02(E)**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) *Holder of Record of Conversion Shares*. The Person in whose name any Share is issuable upon conversion of any Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) *Interest Payable upon Conversion in Certain Circumstances*. If the Conversion Date of a Note is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion (and, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything set forth in the proviso to this sentence), to receive, on or, at the Company's election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion must deliver to the Conversion Agent, at the time of such surrender, an amount of cash equal to the amount of such interest referred to in clause (i) above; *provided*, *however*, that the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion need not deliver such cash (w) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; (x) if such Conversion Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date; (y) if the Company has specified a Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; or (z) to the extent of any overdue interest or interest that has accrued on any overdue interest. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, if a Note is converted with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date described in clause (w) above and any Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date described in clause (y) above, then the Company will pay, as provided above, the interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date to Holders as of the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted is on an Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately before such Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that has accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, and such Note, when surrendered for conversion, need not be accompanied by any cash amount pursuant to the first sentence of this **Section 5.02(E)**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) *Taxes and Duties*. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue of any Share upon such conversion; *provided*, *however*, that if any tax or duty is due because such Holder requested such shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder's name, then such Holder will pay such tax or duty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G) *Conversion Agent to Notify Company of Conversions*. If any Note is submitted for conversion to the Conversion Agent or the Conversion Agent receives any written notice of conversion with respect to a Note, then the Conversion Agent will promptly (and, in any event, no later than the Business Day following the date the Conversion Agent receives such Note or notice) notify the Company and the Trustee of such occurrence, together with any other information reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee, and will cooperate with the Company to determine the Conversion Date for such Note.

**Section 5.03. **Settlement upon Conversion**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Settlement Method*. Upon the conversion of any Note, the Company will settle such conversion by issuing Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Conversion Consideration*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Generally*. Subject to **Section 5.03(B)(iii)** and **Section 5.03(B)(iv)**, the type and amount of consideration (the "**Conversion Consideration**") due in respect of a Note to be converted will be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) a number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable Shares determined by dividing (x) the principal of such Note then outstanding (including capitalized PIK Interest) and all accrued and unpaid interest by (y) the applicable Conversion Price;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if the Company calls any Note for Redemption pursuant to **Section 4.03** or Tax Redemption pursuant to **Section 4.04** and the Holder thereof elects to convert all of such Note into Shares at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date in full, on the Redemption Date or Tax Redemption Date, as the case may be), a number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable Shares determined by dividing the Redemption Price or Tax Redemption Price, as the case may be, by the applicable Conversion Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) *Partial Conversions*. In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) *Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares*. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a Share upon any conversion. If the number of Shares deliverable upon any conversion is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company will deliver, in addition to the other consideration due upon such conversion, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (1) such fraction and (2) the Last Reported Sale Price on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) *Delivery of the Conversion Consideration*. Except as set forth in **Section 5.05** and **Section 5.08**, the Company will deliver the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of any Note to the Holder thereof: on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion; *provided*, *however*, that if the Conversion Date in respect of the conversion of any Note is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, then, solely for purposes of such conversion, (x) the Company will deliver the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion on the Maturity Date (or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day); and (y) the Conversion Date will instead be deemed to be the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the Maturity Date.

**Section 5.04. **Shares to Be Fully Paid**.**

**Section 5.05. **Adjustments to the Conversion Price**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Price*. The Conversion Price will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Share Dividends, Subdivisions and Consolidations*. If the Company issues solely Shares as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all Shares, or if the Company effects a share subdivision or share consolidation of the Shares (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Share Change Event, as to which **Section 5.08** will apply), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

![](ex10-1_001.jpg)

where:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *CP<sub>0</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such share subdivision or share consolidation, as applicable; |
| *CP<sub>1</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Date or effective date, as applicable; |
| *OS<sub>0</sub>* | the aggregate number of Shares outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share subdivision or share consolidation; and |
| *OS<sub>1</sub>* | the aggregate number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share subdivision or share consolidation. |

---

If any dividend, distribution, share subdivision or share consolidation of the type described in this **Section 5.05(A)(i)** is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Price will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such share subdivision or share consolidation, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, share subdivision or share consolidation not been declared or announced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) *Rights, Options and Warrants*. If the Company (A) distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Shares, or (B) grants, to certain Persons who may or may not be existing holders of Shares, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a shareholder rights plan, as to which **Section 5.05(A)(iv)(1)** and **Section 5.05(E)** will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Price will be reduced based on the following formula:

![](ex10-1_002.jpg)

where:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *CP<sub>0</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
| *CP<sub>1</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Date; |
| *OS* | the number of Shares outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Date; |
| *X* | the total maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |
| *Y* | a number of Shares obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced. |

---

To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the reduction in the Conversion Price for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that Shares are not issued after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the reduction in the Conversion Price for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Shares actually issued upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.

For purposes of this **Section 5.05(A)(ii)**, in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Shares to subscribe for or purchase Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) *Shares, rights, options, warrants or other Equity Securities Issued below Conversion Price*. If the Company sells, issues, grants or distributes any Shares, rights, options, warrants or other Equity Securities entitling such holders to subscribe for, purchase or acquire Shares, at a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price will be reduced based on the following formula:

![](ex10-1_003.jpg)

where:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *CP<sub>0</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
| *CP<sub>1</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Date; |
| *OS* | the number of Shares outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Date; |
| *X* | the total number of Shares issuable pursuant to such issuance; and |
| *Y* | a number of Shares obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to such issuance or to exercise such rights, options or warrants or other Equity Securities by (y) the Conversion Price. |

---

To the extent such Shares or Equity Securities are not so sold, issued, granted or distributed, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the reduction in the Conversion Price for such sale, issuance, grant or distribution been made on the basis of only the shares, rights, options, warrants or other Equity Securities, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options, warrants or other Equity Securities (including as a result of such rights, options, warrants or Equity Securities not being exercised), the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the reduction in the Conversion Price for such sale, issuance, grant or distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Shares actually issued upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.

For purposes of this **Section 5.05(A)(iii)**, in determining whether any rights, options, warrants or Equity Securities entitle holders of Shares to subscribe for or purchase Shares at a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options, warrants or Equity Securities, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) *Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) *Distributions Other than Spin-Offs*. If the Company distributes shares, evidences of its Indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Shares, excluding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)(i)** or **Section 5.05(A)(ii)**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)(iv)**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a shareholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in **Section 5.05(E)**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2)**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) a distribution solely pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for Shares, as to which **Section 5.05(A)(vi)** will apply; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) a distribution solely pursuant to a Share Change Event, as to which **Section 5.08** will apply, then the Conversion Price will be reduced based on the following formula:

![](ex10-1_004.jpg)

where:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *CP<sub>0</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such distribution; |
| *CP<sub>1</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Date; |
| *SP* | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Date; and |
| *FMV* | the Fair Market Value, as of such Ex-Date, of the shares, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per Share pursuant to such distribution; |

---

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) *Spin-Offs*. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Shares (other than solely pursuant to (x) a Share Change Event, as to which **Section 5.08** will apply; or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer for Shares, as to which **Section 5.05(A)(vi)** will apply), and such shares or equity interests are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a "**Spin-Off**"), then the Conversion Price will be reduced based on the following formula:

![](ex10-1_005.jpg)

where:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *CP<sub>0</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off; |
| *CP<sub>1</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period; |
| *FMV* | the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the shares or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the "**Spin-Off Valuation Period**") beginning on, and including, the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off (such average to be determined as if references to Shares in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such shares or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or equity interests distributed per Share in such Spin-Off; and |
| *SP* | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Share for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period. |

---

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this **Section 5.05(A)(iv)(2)**, if the Conversion Date for a Note occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such Conversion Date.

To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this **Section 5.05(A)(iv)(2)** is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) *Cash Dividends or Distributions*. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Shares, then the Conversion Price will be reduced based on the following formula:

![](ex10-1_006.jpg)

where:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *CP<sub>0</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| *CP<sub>1</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Date; |
| *SP* | the Last Reported Sale Price per Share on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Date; and |
| *D* | the cash amount distributed per Share in such dividend or distribution; |

---

*provided*, *however*, that if *D* is equal to or greater than *SP*, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, each Holder will receive, for the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Shares, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of Shares equal to the Conversion Consideration calculated with the Conversion Price in effect on such record date.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) *Tender Offers or Exchange Offers*. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Shares (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per Share in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per Share on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the "**Expiration Date**") on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Price will be reduced based on the following formula:

![](ex10-1_007.jpg)

where:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *CP<sub>0</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer; |
| *CP<sub>1</sub>* | the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period; |
| *AC* | the aggregate value (determined as of the time (the "**Expiration Time**") such tender or exchange offer expires by the Board of Directors) of all cash and other consideration paid for Shares purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer; |
| *OS<sub>0</sub>* | the number of Shares outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); |
| *OS<sub>1</sub>* | the number of Shares outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and |
| *SP* | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Share over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the "**Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period**") beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date; |

---

*provided*, *however*, that the Conversion Price will in no event be adjusted up pursuant to this **Section 5.05(A)(vi)**, except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this **Section 5.05(A)(vi)**, if the Conversion Date for a Note occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date to, and including, such Conversion Date.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) *Other Events*. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, if the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) takes any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this **Section 5.05** but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features), which has the direct or indirect effect of adversely affecting a Holder's proportionate interest in the equity of the Company, then, to the extent that such Holder's proportionate interest in the equity of the Company is so adversely affected thereby, an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made so as to protect the rights of such Holder under this Indenture and the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *No Adjustments in Certain Cases.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) *Where Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in **Section 5.05(A)**, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Price on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)** (other than a share subdivision or consolidation of the type set forth in **Section 5.05(A)(i)** or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in **Section 5.05**(A)**(vi)**) if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Shares, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of Notes, in such transaction or event without having to convert such Holder's Notes and as if such Holder held a number of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on such date; divided by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the related record date.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)** has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Price for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole Shares; and

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

then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a Conversion Price adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Date pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)**;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole Shares, based on a Conversion Price that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to **Section 5.02(D)**), then such Conversion Price adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion and the Shares issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Price will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution, but there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such Shares had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) *Shareholder Rights Plans*. If any Shares are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any shareholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Indenture upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such shareholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Shares at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)(iv)(1)** on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Shares, subject to potential readjustment in accordance with the last paragraph of **Section 5.05(A)(iv)(1)**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) *Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments*. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Price to be adjusted pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)** to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per Share being less than the par value per Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G) *Equitable Adjustments to Prices*. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Price), the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)(i)** that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Price where the Ex-Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(H) *Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares*. For purposes of **Section 5.05(A)**, the number of Shares outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Shares; and (ii) exclude Shares held in the Company's treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on Shares held in its treasury).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I) *Calculations*. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Price and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a Share (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(J) *Notice of Conversion Price Adjustments*. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)**, the Company will promptly send written notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(K) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture and the Notes, the Company shall not be required to adjust the Conversion Price pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)** unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the Conversion Price. However, the Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Price and make such carried forward adjustments with respect to the Notes (1) when the cumulative net effect of all adjustments not yet made will result in a change of 1% to the Conversion Price and (2) regardless of whether the adjustment (or such cumulative net effect) is less than 1% of the Conversion Price, on the Conversion Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(L) Except as stated in this Indenture and the Notes, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Price for the issuance of Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or the right to purchase Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(M) The Conversion Price shall not be adjusted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) upon the issuance of any Shares 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 under any plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) upon the issuance of any Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Issue Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) upon the repurchase of any Shares pursuant to an open market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction, including structured or derivative transactions, that is not a tender or exchange offer of the nature described in **Section 5.05(A)(vi)**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) solely for a change in the par value (or lack of par value) of the Shares; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

**Section 5.06. **Voluntary Adjustments**.**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Notice of Voluntary Reductions*. If the Board of Directors determines to reduce the Conversion Price pursuant to **Section 5.06**, then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in **Section 5.06(A)**, the Company will send notice to each Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such reduction, the amount thereof and the period during which such reduction will be in effect.

**Section 5.07. Reservation of Authorized Shares**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Reservation*. The Company shall initially reserve out of its authorized and unissued share capital a number of Shares for each of the Notes equal to 100% of the number of Shares as shall be necessary to effect the conversion of each such Note (excluding any additional Notes to be issued to represent PIK Interest) as of the Issue Date. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued share capital, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, 100% of the number of Shares as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding, free from any Lien or pre-emptive rights; provided that at no time shall the number of Shares so reserved be less than the number of Shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the "**Required Reserve Amount**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Insufficient Authorized Shares*. If at any time when any Note remains outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved Shares to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of Shares equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an "**Authorized Share Failure**"), then the Company shall promptly use commercially reasonable efforts (including but not limited to requesting the shareholders of the Company to pass necessary resolutions) to increase the Company's authorized share capital to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, if required pursuant to the Charter Documents or applicable law, as soon as practicable after the date of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its holders of Shares for the approval of an increase in the share capital. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each holder of Shares with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit such holders' approval of such increase in authorized share capital and to cause the Board of Directors to recommend to the holders of Shares that they approve such proposal.

**Section 5.08. **Effect of Share Change Event**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Generally*. If there occurs any:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Shares (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a share subdivision or consolidation of the Shares (as to which **Section 5.05(A)(i)** will apply), (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) share subdivisions or consolidations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) other similar event,

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) from and after the effective time of such Share Change Event, (I) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Note, and the conditions to any such conversion, will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of Shares in this **Article 5** (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (II) for purposes of **Section 5.03**, each reference to any number of Shares in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then the Company will pay the cash due upon such conversions no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date.

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per Share, by the holders of Shares. The Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

At or before the effective time of such Share Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Share Change Event (the "**Successor Person**") will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to **Section 8.01(F)**, which supplemental indenture will (x) provide for subsequent conversions of Notes in the manner set forth in this **Section 5.08**; (y) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Price pursuant to **Section 5.05(A)** in a manner consistent with this **Section 5.08**; and (z) contain such other provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to the provisions of this **Section 5.08(A)**. If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets (other than cash) of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental indenture and such supplemental indenture will contain such additional provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Notice of Share Change Events*. The Company will provide notice of each Share Change Event in the manner provided in **Section 5.08**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) *Compliance Covenant*. The Company will not become a party to any Share Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this **Section 5.08**.

**Section 5.09. **Responsibility of Trustee and Conversion Agent**

The Trustee and Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Price (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Price, or determine whether any conversion would cause any Holder to own Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (and may conclusively rely upon the determination of the Company with respect thereto), 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 Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Shares, 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 Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible, nor incur any liability, for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any Shares or share 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 (a) determine whether a supplemental indenture needs to be entered into or (b) determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to **Section 5.08** relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such **Section 5.08** or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of **Section 10.01**, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, the Officer's Certificate (which the Company will be obligated to deliver to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent 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 5.01** has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company or a Holder has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in **Section 5.02** with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely.

**Section 5.10. Beneficial Ownership Limitation.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, no Holder will be entitled to receive Shares upon conversion of any Notes and no conversion of Notes shall take place to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt (or conversion) would cause such Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates (such persons, "**Attribution Parties**")) to beneficially own Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Shares owned by the Holder, it Affiliates and other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Shares issuable upon conversion of any Notes with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Shares which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by the Holder, its Affiliates and other Attribution Parties, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder, its Affiliates and other Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this provision, beneficial ownership, the number of Shares outstanding, and the determination as to any group status as contemplated above each shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Any purported delivery of Shares upon conversion of the Notes shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the converting Holder violating the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Solely for the purpose of this **Section 5.10**, "**Holder**" shall mean a person that holds a beneficial interest in the Notes other than THRI, its Affiliates or assignees, and for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of Global Notes, "**Holder**" shall not include the Depository or its nominee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Upon receipt by the Company of a written notice of conversion (the "**Conversion Notice**") by a Holder, the Company shall independently confirm whether the conversion of the Notes set forth in such notice would result in the violation by such Holder of its applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation and, if so, shall promptly notify the Holder of such violation and shall not effectuate any conversion of any portion of any Notes nor issue Shares to the Holder that would result in the Holder together with any of its Affiliates or other Attribution Parties collectively beneficially owning Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In making such determination, the Company shall be able to rely for all purposes on the information in the Conversion Notice as to such Holder's total beneficial ownership, inclusive of Affiliates and Attribution Parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) For purposes of this **Section 5.10**, a Holder may send a written or oral request to the Company to confirm the number of Shares outstanding, and the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day of receiving the request confirm in writing to the Holder the number of Shares outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) The "**Beneficial Ownership Limitation**" shall be 4.9% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares upon conversion of any Notes held by the Holder. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as to such Holder (but not as to any other Holder), *provided* that any increase only in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this **Section 5.10** to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph may not be waived.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) Any Notes surrendered for conversion for which Shares are not delivered due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be extinguished and, such Holder may either: (i) request return of the Notes surrendered by such Holder for conversion, after which the Company shall deliver such Notes to such Holder within two (2) Trading Days after receipt of such request; or (ii) certify to the Company that the person (or persons) receiving Shares upon conversion is not, and would not, as a result of such conversion, become the beneficial owner of Shares outstanding at such time in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, after which the Company shall deliver any such Shares withheld on account of such Beneficial Ownership Limitation by the later of (x) the date such shares were otherwise due to such person (or persons) and (y) two (2) Trading Days after receipt of such certification; provided, however, until such time as the affected Holder gives such notice, no person shall be deemed to be the stockholder of record or the beneficial owner with respect to the Shares otherwise deliverable upon conversion in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Upon delivery of such notice, the provisions under **Section 5.03** shall apply to the Shares to be delivered pursuant to such notice.

**Article 6. SUCCESSORS**

**Section 6.01. **When the Company May Merge, Etc**.**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (the "**Successor Corporation**") that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplemental indenture pursuant to **Section 8.01(E)**) all of the Company's obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the Company or the Successor Corporation, if not the Company, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (a) such Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the execution and delivery of the related supplemental indenture) complies with **Section 6.01(A)**; (b) such supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company or such Successor Corporation; (c) such Business Combination Event is authorized or permitted by this Indenture; and (d) all conditions precedent relating to such Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.

**Section 6.02. **Successor Corporation Substituted**.**

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

**Article 7. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES**

**Section 7.01. **Events of Default**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Definition of Events of Default*. "**Event of Default**" means the occurrence of any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a default in the payment when due (whether at maturity, upon Redemption, Tax Redemption, Repurchase or Fundamental Change Repurchase or otherwise) of the principal of, or the Redemption Price, the Tax Redemption Price, Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, for any Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a default for seven (7) consecutive days in the payment when due of interest on any Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a default in the Company's obligation to convert a Note in accordance with **Article 5** upon the exercise of the conversion right with respect thereto, if such default is not cured within three (3) Business Days after its occurrence;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) a default in the Company's obligations under **Section 6.01**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) a default in any of the Company's obligations or agreements under this Indenture or the Notes (other than a default set forth in **clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)** of this **Section 7.01(A)**) where such default is not cured or waived within thirty (30) days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, which notice must specify such default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a "Notice of Default";

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) constitutes a failure to pay the principal, or premium or interest on, any of such Indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiv) any default by the Company in the performance of any of its obligations under the Security Documents or this Indenture, which adversely affects the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the applicable Lien on the Collateral or which adversely affects the condition or value of the Collateral, taken as a whole, in any material respect; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xv) the Company denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under any Security Document or, other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents, any Security Document ceases to be or is not in full force and effect or the Trustee ceases to have a security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens).

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

**Section 7.02. **Acceleration**.**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Optional Acceleration*. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in **Section 7.01(A)(xii)** or **Section 7.01(A)(xiii)** with respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, then either (i) the Trustee (acting on the instructions of Holders of at least seventy five percent (75%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding), by notice to the Company, or (ii) Holders of at least seventy five percent (75%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately; *provided* that from the date that is 60 days after the Event of Default has occurred (i) the Trustee (acting on the instructions of Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding) by notice to the Company, or (ii) Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately.

In addition, if the Notes have become immediately due and payable pursuant to either (A) or (B) above, the Trustee shall upon written instruction of Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes take such further action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents. If an Event of Default has occurred under Section 7.01(A)(i), the Trustee is hereby authorized by each Holder of the Notes to provide a notice of such occurrence of Event of Default to the Holders of Notes, and then from the date that is 60 days from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default, the Trustee shall upon written instruction of Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes take such further action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents, *provided that* if an Event of Default has occurred under Section 7.01(A)(i), Holders of at least seventy five percent (75%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding can give immediate instruction to the Trustee to take such further action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents. In the event the Trustee receives instructions from different groups of Holders holding at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or from any group of Holders holding a greater percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes than a group that has previously instructed the Trustee), the Trustee shall act in accordance with the instruction of such group holding the greater percentage of aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and if both such groups hold the same percentage of aggregate principal amount of the Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until such time as it shall receive a joint instruction from such groups or an instruction from the group holding a greater percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes than such groups.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) *Rescission of Acceleration*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Holders of seventy five percent (75%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any acceleration of the Notes and its consequences if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (ii) all existing Events of Default (except the non-payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

**Section 7.03. **Other Remedies**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Trustee May Pursue All Remedies*. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

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

**Section 7.04. **Waiver of Past Defaults**.**

An Event of Default pursuant to **clause (i)**, **(ii)**, **(iii), (iv)** or **(v)** of **Section 7.01(A)** (that, in the case of **clause (v)** only, results from a Default under any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each affected Holder), and a Default that could lead to such an Event of Default, can be waived only with the consent of each affected Holder. Each other Default or Event of Default may be waived, on behalf of all Holders, by the Holders of seventy five percent (75%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. If an Event of Default is so waived, then it will cease to exist. If a Default is so waived, then it will be deemed to be cured and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed not to occur. However, no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right arising therefrom.

**Section 7.05. **Control of Proceedings**.**

Without prejudice to **Section 7.02**, Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it; *provided* that, notwithstanding any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee at the direction of any group of Holders, if the Trustee receives direction from different groups of Holders holding at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or from any group of Holders holding a greater percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes than a group that has previously directed the Trustee), the Trustee shall act in accordance with the directions of such group holding the greater percentage of aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and if both such groups hold the same percentage of aggregate principal amount of the Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until such time as it shall receive a joint instruction from such group or an instruction from group holding a greater percentage of aggregate principal amount of the Notes than such groups. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow (and shall incur no liability for so forbearing) any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Notes, or that, subject to **Section 10.01**, the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being expressly understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is unduly prejudicial to any Holders) or may involve the Trustee in liability, unless the Trustee is offered security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses) to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee's following such direction.

**Section 7.06. **Limitation on Suits**.**

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses) to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee's following such request;

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

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

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

**Section 7.07. **Absolute Right of Holders to Institute Suit for the Enforcement of the Right to Receive Payment and Conversion Consideration**.**

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes (but without limiting **Section 8.01 or Section 8.02**), the contractual right of each Holder of a Note expressly set forth in this Indenture or such Note to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment or delivery, as applicable, of the principal of, or the Redemption Price, the Tax Redemption Price, the Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to **Article 5** upon conversion of, such Note on or after the respective due dates therefor provided in this Indenture and the Notes, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

**Section 7.08. **Collection Suit by Trustee**.**

The Trustee will have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to **clause (i)**, **(ii)** or **(iii)** of **Section 7.01(A)**, to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the total unpaid or undelivered principal of, or Redemption Price, Tax Redemption Price, Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, or Conversion Consideration due pursuant to **Article 5** upon conversion of, the Notes, as applicable, and such further amounts sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation provided for in **Section 10.06**.

**Section 7.09. **Trustee May File Proofs of Claim**.**

The Trustee has the right to (A) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) or its creditors or property and (B) collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Each Holder authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to **Section 10.06**. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a Lien (senior to the rights of Holders) on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise). Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

**Section 7.10. **Priorities**.**

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

*First*: to the Trustee, the Calculation Agent, the Note Agents and their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under this Indenture and the Security Documents, including payment of all fees, compensation, expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection or distribution of such amounts held or realized;

*Second*: to Holders for unpaid amounts or other property due on the Notes, including the principal of, or the Redemption Price, Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or any Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of, the Notes, ratably, and without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts or other property due and payable on all of the Notes; and

*Third*: to the Company or such other Person as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment or delivery to the Holders pursuant to this **Section 7.10**, in which case the Trustee will instruct the Company to, and the Company will deliver in writing, at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such record date, to each Holder and the Trustee a notice stating such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment or nature of such delivery, as applicable.

**Section 7.11. **Undertaking for Costs**.**

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Notes or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court, in its discretion, may (A) require the filing by any litigant party in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and (B) assess reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) against any litigant party in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such litigant party; *provided*, *however*, that this **Section 7.11** does not apply to any suit by the Trustee, any suit by a Holder pursuant to **Section 7.07** or any suit by one or more Holders of more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

**Article 8. AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS**

As soon as reasonably practicable after any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to **Section 8.01** or **Section 8.02** becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders and the Trustee notice that (A) describes the substance of such amendment, supplement or waiver in reasonable detail and (B) states the effective date thereof; *provided*, *however*, that the Company will not be required to provide such notice to the Holders if such amendment, supplement or waiver is included in a periodic report filed with (or furnished to) the SEC by the Company within four (4) Business Days of its effectiveness. The failure to send, or the existence of any defect in, such notice will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

**Section 8.04. **Revocation, Effect and Solicitation of Consents; Special Record Dates; Etc**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) *Revocation and Effect of Consents*. The consent of a Holder of a Note to an amendment, supplement or waiver will bind (and constitute the consent of) each subsequent Holder of any Note to the extent the same evidences any portion of the same Indebtedness as the consenting Holder's Note, subject to the right of any Holder of a Note to revoke (if not prohibited pursuant to **Section 8.04(B)**) any such consent with respect to such Note by delivering notice of revocation to the Trustee before the time such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective (or before such earlier time as may be provided by the terms of any request for consent).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) *Special Record Dates*. The Company may, but is not required to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent or take any other action in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this **Article 8**. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in **Section 8.04(A)**, only Persons who are Holders as of such record date (or their duly designated proxies) will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, regardless of whether such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; *provided*, *however*, that no such consent will be valid or effective for more than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after such record date.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) *Effectiveness and Binding Effect*. Each amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this **Article 8** will become effective in accordance with its terms and, when it becomes effective with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof), will thereafter bind every Holder of such Note (or such portion).

**Section 8.05. **Notations and Exchanges**.**

If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee (at the direction of the Company) or the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with **Section 2.02**, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Note pursuant to this **Section 8.05** will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

**Section 8.06. **Trustee to Execute Supplemental Indentures**.**

The Trustee will execute and deliver any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this **Article 8**; *provided*, *however*, that the Trustee need not (but may, in their sole and absolute discretion) execute or deliver any such amendment or supplemental indenture that the Trustee concludes affects its rights, duties, liabilities or immunities. In executing any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will receive, and (subject to **Section 10.01** and **Section 10.02**) will be fully protected in relying on, in addition to the documents required by **Section 12.02**, an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and if applicable, the Security Documents; (B) in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment or supplemental indenture is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; and (C) all conditions precedent relating to such supplemental indenture have been satisfied.

**Article 9. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE**

**Section 9.01. **Termination of Company's Obligations**.**

This Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued under this Indenture, when:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) all Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to **Section 2.12**) have (i) been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) become due and payable (whether on a Redemption Date, a Tax Redemption Date, a Repurchase Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Maturity Date, upon conversion or otherwise) for an amount of cash or Conversion Consideration, as applicable, that has been fixed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the Company has caused there to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, or with the Paying Agent (or, with respect to Conversion Consideration, the Conversion Agent), in each case for the benefit of the Holders, or has otherwise caused there to be delivered to the Holders, cash (or, with respect to Notes to be converted, Conversion Consideration) sufficient to satisfy all amounts or other property due on all Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to **Section 2.12**);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) the Company has paid all other amounts payable by it under this Indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent to the discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied;

*provided*, *however*, that **Article 10** and **Section 12.01** will survive such discharge and, until no Notes remain outstanding, **Section 2.14** and the obligations of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent with respect to money or other property deposited with them will survive such discharge.

At the Company's written request, the Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

**Section 9.02. **Repayment to Company**.**

Subject to applicable unclaimed property law, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company if there exists (and, at the Company's written request, promptly deliver to the Company) any cash, Conversion Consideration or other property held by any of them for payment or delivery on the Notes that remain unclaimed two (2) years after the date on which such payment or delivery was due. After such delivery to the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will have no further liability to any Holder with respect to such cash, Conversion Consideration or other property, and Holders entitled to the payment or delivery of such cash, Conversion Consideration or other property must look to the Company for payment as a general creditor of the Company.

**Section 9.03. **Reinstatement**.**

If the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent is unable to apply any cash or other property deposited with it pursuant to **Section 9.01** because of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or other governmental authority that enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits such application, then the discharge of this Indenture pursuant to **Section 9.01** will be rescinded; *provided*, *however*, that if the Company thereafter pays or delivers any cash or other property due on the Notes to the Holders thereof, then the Company will be subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such cash or other property from the cash or other property, if any, held by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable.

**Article 10. TRUSTEE**

**Section 10.01. **Duties of the Trustee**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except for its own willful misconduct or negligence, as conclusively determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, no longer subject to appeal or review, and the Trustee shall not be liable for any action or inaction of the Company or any other Person. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on its part, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer's Certificates or Opinions of Counsel that are provided to the Trustee and conform, on their face, to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but shall have no affirmative duty to verify the contents thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order, except that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) this paragraph will not limit the effect of **Section 10.01(B)**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, no longer subject to appeal or review, that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from seventy-five percent (75%) of the Holders of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (or such other group of Holders as may be expressly required or permitted under this Indenture).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) Each provision of this Indenture and any Security Document that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this **Section 10.01**, **Section 10.02**, **Section 10.06**, regardless of whether such provision so expressly provides.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) No provision of this Indenture or any Security Document will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds, incur any liability or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it, except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds, except to the extent required by law.

**Section 10.02. **Rights of the Trustee**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, judgment, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document that it believes to be genuine and signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons, and the Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in such document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require and, if requested, shall receive an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, the costs and expenses of which shall be borne by the Company; and the advice of such counsel, or any Opinion of Counsel, will constitute full and complete authorization of the Trustee to take or omit to take any action in good faith in reliance thereon without liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) The Trustee may act through its attorneys, custodians and agents and will not be responsible for the acts, omissions, misconduct or negligence of any such attorney, custodian or agent appointed with due care.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith and that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or any Security Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture or any Security Document, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) The Trustee need not exercise any rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or any Security Document at the request or direction of any Holder unless such Holder has offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses) that it may incur in complying with such request or direction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G) The Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any punitive, special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I) The Trustee will not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts, powers, and duties under this Indenture or any Security Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(J) The discretionary or permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein or in any Security Document will not be construed as duties and the Trustee shall be entitled to receive a direction from Holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Holders of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (or such other group of Holders as may be expressly required or permitted under this Indenture) prior to taking any permissive or discretionary action under the Indenture or any Security Document. The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically and expressly set forth in this Indenture or any Security Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(K) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer's Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document, which Officer's Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer's Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(L) The Trustee will not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default (except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of scheduled principal of, or the Redemption Price, the Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, any Note) unless written notice of any event that is in fact such a Default or Event of Default (and stating the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default) is actually received by the a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes, the Company and this Indenture and states that it is a notice of Default or Event of Default. For purposes of any determination as to whether the Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge of any of the foregoing events, the Trustee shall have no obligation to inquire into, or investigate as to, the occurrence of any such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(M) It shall not be the duty of the Trustee to see that any duties or obligations imposed herein, in the Security Documents or in any related documents upon the Company or other Persons are performed, and the Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for the failure of the Company or such other Persons to perform any act required of them by this Indenture or any Security Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(N) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture, the Security Documents or any related document shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under any related document in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(O) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by (i) the Trustee in each document related hereto to which it is a party and (ii) the entity serving as the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and in each of its capacities as under any related document whether or not specifically set forth therein and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder and under any related document, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(P) The Trustee shall not have any duty or responsibility in respect of (i) any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture, the Security Documents or any other agreement or instrument, monitoring or filing any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, the maintenance of any such recording, filing or depositing or to any re-recording, re-filing or re-depositing of any thereof, or otherwise monitoring the perfection, continuation of perfection or the sufficiency or validity of any security interest in or related to the Collateral, (ii) the acquisition or maintenance of any insurance or (iii) the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Collateral. The Trustee shall be authorized to, but shall in no event have any duty or responsibility to, file any financing or continuation statements or record any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfect or maintain any security interest in the Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Q) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Security Documents or any related document or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents or any related document, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security, indemnity or prefunding satisfactory to the Trustee, in its sole discretion, against the losses, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request, order or direction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(R) Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note hereunder, represents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Trustee or any other Person, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own investment decision in respect of the Notes. Each Holder also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Trustee or any other Person, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or any related document and in connection with the Notes. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Holders by the Trustee hereunder, the Trustee shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Holder with any other information concerning the Company, the servicer or any other parties to any related documents which may come into the possession of the Trustee or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or attorneys-in-fact.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(S) If the Trustee requests instructions from the Company or the Holders with respect to any action or omission in connection with this Indenture, the Security Documents or any related document, the Trustee shall be entitled (without incurring any liability therefor) to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the Trustee shall have received written instructions from the Company or the Holders, as applicable, with respect to such request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(T) The Trustee shall not be liable for failing to comply with its obligations under this Indenture, the Security Documents or any related document in so far as the performance of such obligations is dependent upon the timely receipt of instructions and/or other information from any other person which are not received or not received by the time required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(U) The Trustee shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or any other related document if such action (A) would, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee, in good faith (which may be based on the advice or opinion of counsel), be contrary to applicable law, this Indenture, the Security Documents or any other related document, or (B) is not provided for in this Indenture, the Security Documents or any other related document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(V) The Trustee shall not be required to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or any related document if taking such action (A) would subject the Trustee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax, or (B) would require the Trustee to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified..

**Section 10.03. **Individual Rights of the Trustee**.**

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of any Note and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights that it would have if it were not Trustee; *provided*, *however*, that if the Trustee acquires a "conflicting interest" (within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), then it must eliminate such conflict within ninety (90) days or resign as Trustee. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified, are extended to, and will be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities under this Indenture and each Note Agent, custodian and other Person retained to act under this Indenture.

**Section 10.04. **Trustee's Disclaimer**.**

The Trustee will not be (A) responsible for, and makes no representation as to, the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes; (B) accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company's direction under any provision of this Indenture; (C) responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and (D) responsible for any statement or recital in this Indenture, the Notes or any other document relating to the sale of the Notes or this Indenture, other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication.

**Section 10.05. **Notice of Defaults**.**

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (in accordance with **Section 10.02(L)**), then the Trustee will send Holders a notice of such Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs or, if it is not actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at such time, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after it becomes actually known to a Responsible Officer (in accordance with **Section 10.02(L)**); *provided*, *however*, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and for so long as it in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

**Section 10.06. **Compensation and Indemnity**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) The Company will, from time to time, pay the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) reasonable compensation, as shall have been agreed to in writing, for their acceptance of this Indenture and services under this Indenture and the Security Documents. The compensation of the Trustee will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. In addition to the compensation for the Trustee's services, the Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it under this Indenture and the Security Documents, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of its agents and counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture or any Security Document, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or any Security Document (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) against the Company (including this **Section 10.06**) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture or any Security Document, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity (other than any claim brought by the Company), but the Trustee's failure to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations under this **Section 10.06(B)**. The Company will defend such claim, and the Trustee will cooperate in such defense at the expense of the Company. If the Trustee is advised by counsel that it may have defenses available to it that are in conflict with the defenses available to the Company, or that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest, then the Trustee may retain separate counsel, and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Trustee incurred in evaluating whether such a conflict exists). The Company need not pay for any settlement of any such claim made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The indemnification provided in this **Section 10.06** will extend to the officers, directors, agents (selected with due care) and employees of the Trustee and any successor Trustee under this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) The obligations of the Company under this **Section 10.06** will survive the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) To secure the Company's payment obligations in this **Section 10.06**, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, or interest on, particular Notes, which Lien will survive the discharge of this Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default pursuant to **clause (xi)** or **(xiii)** of **Section 7.01(A)** occurs, then such expenses and the compensation for such services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute administrative expenses for purposes of priority under any Bankruptcy Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) This Section 10.06 shall be applicable to the Calculation Agent, as if references to the "Trustee" were references to the "Calculation Agent.".

**Section 10.07. **Replacement of the Trustee**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this **Section 10.07**, a resignation or removal of the Trustee, and the appointment of a successor Trustee, will become effective only upon such successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this **Section 10.07**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) The Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder at any time by giving no less than thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice of such resignation to the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by providing no less than thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice to the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Trustee fails to comply with **Section 10.09**;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Trustee is adjudged to be bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has issued (i) Series A Convertible Subordinated Notes to each of the Investors (the "**Series A Convertible Subordinated Notes**") and (ii) Series A-1 Convertible Subordinated Notes to the Cartesian Investors (the "**Series A-1 Convertible Subordinated Notes**" and together with the Series A Convertible Subordinated Notes, the "**Convertible Subordinated Notes**");

WHEREAS, in connection with certain proposed transactions with its investors, it is contemplated that the Company will issue floating rate convertible senior secured notes due on September 30, 2029 (the "**Convertible Senior Secured Notes**") pursuant to an indenture dated on or about the date hereof by and between the Company, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee and as security agent;

NOW THEREFORE THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

With effect on and from the date this letter is signed, the parties hereby agree that:

(iii) the date of occurrence of a Mandatory Conversion Event, provided that, in the case of clause (iii), the Conversion Requirements
are true and accurate as of such date or the Holder has waived the existence of any unmet Conversion Requirement";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The definition of "Maturity Date" in Section 2(a) of each of the Convertible Subordinated
