**Item 1.01.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

*Private Offering of 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030*

On September 16, 2025, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (the "Company") and Pebblebrook Hotel, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (the "Initial Purchasers") pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer and sell $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"), inclusive of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes that were subject to the Initial Purchasers' option (which has been exercised in full) to purchase additional 2030 Notes solely to cover over-allotments, if any. We refer to this offer and sale of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes as the "Offering."

On September 18, 2025, the Offering closed. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $389.7 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers' discounts and estimated expenses payable by the Company.

The Company used the net proceeds from the Offering, together with approximately $4.1 million of cash on hand, to repurchase approximately $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") in private transactions separately and individually negotiated with certain holders of the 2026 Notes. The Company also repurchased from such holders approximately 4.3 million of the Company's common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Shares"), pursuant to its existing common share repurchase program in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the Initial Purchasers or one or more of their affiliates, at a price per share equal to $11.56, which was the last reported sales price per Common Share on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on September 16, 2025.

The Offering was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The 2030 Notes were resold by the Initial Purchasers to persons the Initial Purchasers reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in, and in accordance with, Rule 144A under the Act. In the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Operating Partnership made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants and agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act.

*Indenture and Terms of the 2030 Notes*

The 2030 Notes were issued on September 18, 2025 pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 15, 2020 (the "Base Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 18, 2025, between the Company and the Trustee (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture").

The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2026. The 2030 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment with the other existing and future unsubordinated, unsecured indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to any indebtedness of the Company that is contractually subordinated to the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to the existing and future secured indebtedness of the Company, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) and preferred equity of our subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

The 2030 Notes will mature on January 15, 2030 (the "Maturity Date"), unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. Prior to July 15, 2029, the 2030 Notes will be convertible only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods. On and after July 15, 2029, holders may convert any of their 2030 Notes into Common Shares, at the applicable conversion rate at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the Maturity Date.

The initial conversion rate of the 2030 Notes is 62.9129 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.89 per share, reflecting a premium of approximately 37.5% over the closing price per Common Share on September 16, 2025. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances designed to address economic dilution.

Prior to July 20, 2028, the Company may not redeem the 2030 Notes. The Company may redeem for cash all or a portion of the 2030 Notes, at its option, on or after July 20, 2028 if the last reported sales price per Common Share has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption, during any 30-consecutive-trading-day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

------

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) involving the Company, holders of the 2030 Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2030 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

If an event of default (as defined in the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the 2030 Notes to be due and payable. The Indenture also provides that in the case of an event of default arising out of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events (as set forth in the Indenture), 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2030 Notes will automatically become due and payable. However, the effect of such provision may be limited by applicable law.

*Capped Call Transactions*

In connection with the pricing of the 2030 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions") with certain of the Initial Purchasers, their respective affiliates and/or other counterparties (the "Capped Call Counterparties"). The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those of the 2030 Notes, the number of Common Shares underlying the 2030 Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to Common Shares upon any conversion of the 2030 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted 2030 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially $20.23, which reflects a premium of 75% over the last reported sales price per Common Share on the NYSE on September 16, 2025 and is subject to customary adjustments under the confirmations of the Capped Call Transactions.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions from the Offering, are not part of the terms of the 2030 Notes and will not change any holder's rights under the 2030 Notes. Holders of the 2030 Notes have no rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions.

The foregoing descriptions of the material terms of the Indenture, the 2030 Notes and the Capped Call Transactions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture, the form of the 2030 Notes and the form of the confirmation for the Capped Call Transactions, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 99.4, respectively, and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**

The disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the 2030 Notes and the Indenture is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

**Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.** 

The disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 of this report relating to the Offering, the 2030 Notes and the Indenture is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Pursuant to the Indenture, a maximum of 25,165,160 Common Shares may be issued upon conversion of the 2030 Notes based on the maximum conversion rate, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

Pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Act, the issuance of any Common Shares upon conversion of the 2030 Notes will be exempt from registration under the Act.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On September 16, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the launch of the Offering.

On September 17, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering.

On September 19, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Offering.

Copies of these press releases are furnished as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

For itself and as Representative of the other Initial Purchasers named in Schedule A hereto.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Company"), and Pebblebrook Hotel, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the operating partnership of the Company (in such capacity, the "Operating Partnership"), each confirms its agreement with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. ("Raymond James") and each of the other initial purchasers named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the "Initial Purchasers," which term shall also include any initial purchaser substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 11 hereof), for whom Raymond James is acting as representative (in such capacity, the "Representative"), with respect to (i) the sale by the Company and the purchase by the Initial Purchasers, acting severally and not jointly, of the respective principal amounts set forth in Schedule A hereto of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Initial Securities") and (ii) the grant by the Company to the Initial Purchasers, acting severally and not jointly, of the option to purchase all or any part of an additional $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Option Securities" and, together with the Initial Securities, the "Securities") to cover over-allotments, if any.

The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of December 15, 2020 (the "Base Indenture") between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by a second supplemental indenture to be dated as of September 18, 2025 (together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), by and between the Company and the Trustee.

In connection with the offering of the Initial Securities, the Company is separately entering into capped call transactions with certain financial institutions, including with one or more of the Initial Purchasers (or affiliates thereof) (the "Option Counterparties") in each case pursuant to separate capped call transaction confirmations (the "Base Capped Call Confirmations"), to be dated the date hereof, and in connection with any exercise by the Initial Purchasers of their option to purchase any Option Securities, the Company and the Option Counterparties may enter into additional capped call transactions pursuant to additional capped call transaction confirmations (the "Additional Capped Call Confirmations"), to be dated the date on which the Initial Purchasers exercise their option to purchase such Option Securities.

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, investors that acquire Securities may only resell or otherwise transfer such Securities if such Securities are hereafter registered under the 1933 Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available (including the exemption afforded by Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") of the rules and regulations promulgated under the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations") by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")).

The Company has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a preliminary offering memorandum dated September 15, 2025 prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) (the "Preliminary Offering Memorandum") and has prepared and will deliver to each Initial Purchaser, on the date hereof or the next succeeding day, copies of a final offering memorandum dated September 16, 2025 (the "Final Offering Memorandum"), each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of purchases of, or offering of, the Securities. "Offering Memorandum" means, with respect to any date or time referred to in this Agreement, the most recent offering memorandum (whether the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum, and any amendment or supplement to either such document), including exhibits thereto and any documents incorporated therein by reference, which has been prepared and delivered by the Company to the Initial Purchasers, in the case of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum prior to the Applicable Time, in connection with their solicitation of purchases of, or offering of, the Securities. The Company will prepare a final term sheet reflecting the final terms of the Securities, in the form set forth in Schedule B hereto (the "Final Term Sheet"), and will deliver such Final Term Sheet to the Initial Purchasers prior to the Applicable Time in connection with their solicitation of purchases of, or offering of, the Securities. The Company agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representative, it will not make any offer relating to the Securities by any written materials other than the Offering Memorandum and the Issuer Written Information. "Issuer Written Information" means (i) any writing intended for general distribution to investors as evidenced by its being specified in Schedule C hereto, including the Final Term Sheet, and (ii) any "road show" that is a "written communication" within the meaning of the 1933 Act. "General Disclosure Package" means the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and any Issuer Written Information specified on Schedule C hereto and issued at or prior to 8•05 P.M., New York City time, on September 16, 2025 or such other time as agreed by the Company and the Representative (such date and time, the "Applicable Time").

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated" (or other references of like import) in the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to include all such financial statements and schedules and other information incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the "1934 Act"), incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Offering Memorandum.

SECTION 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Representations and Warranties</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Representations and Warranties by the Company and the Operating Partnership*. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to each Initial Purchaser as of the date hereof, the Applicable Time, the Closing Time (as defined below) and any Date of Delivery (as defined below), and agrees with each Initial Purchaser, 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>General Disclosure Package; Rule 144A Eligibility</u>.

None of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any of their subsidiaries or any person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company and the Operating Partnership make no representation) has engaged, in connection with the offering of the offered Securities, in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the 1933 Act Regulations.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Accurate Disclosure</u>. As of the Applicable Time, neither (A) the General Disclosure Package nor (B) any Issuer Written Information, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date, at the Closing Time and at any Date of Delivery, did not, does not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, when such documents incorporated by reference were filed with the Commission, when read together with the other information in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, as the case may be, did not, does not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3

SECTION 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Subsequent Offers and Resales of the Securities</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Offer and Sale Procedures*. Each of the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Operating Partnership hereby establish and agree to observe the following procedures in connection with the offer and sale of the 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;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Offers and Sales</u>. Offers and sales of the Securities shall be made to such persons and in such manner as is contemplated by the Offering Memorandum. Each Initial Purchaser severally agrees that it will not offer, sell or deliver any of the Securities in any jurisdiction outside the United States except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws thereof, and that it will take at its own expense whatever action is required to permit its purchase and resale of the Securities in such jurisdictions. The Company has not entered into any contractual arrangement, other than this Agreement, with respect to the distribution of the Securities or the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Securities and the Company will not enter into any such arrangement except as contemplated thereby.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No General Solicitation</u>. No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the 1933 Act Regulations) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering or sale of the 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;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Minimum Principal Amount</u>. No sale of the Securities to any one Subsequent Purchaser will be for less than U.S. $1,000 principal amount and no Security will be issued in a smaller principal amount. If the Subsequent Purchaser is a non-bank fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom it is acting must purchase at least U.S. $1,000 principal amount of the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Covenants of the Company and the Operating Partnership*. Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, covenants with each Initial Purchaser 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Integration</u>. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agree that the Company and the Operating Partnership will not and will cause their respective subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, solicit any offer to buy, sell or make any offer or sale of, or otherwise negotiate in respect of, securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership of any class if, as a result of the doctrine of "integration" referred to in Rule 502 under the 1933 Act Regulations, such offer or sale would render invalid (for the purpose of (i) the sale of the offered Securities by the Company to the Initial Purchasers, (ii) the resale of the offered Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers or (iii) the resale of the offered Securities by such Subsequent Purchasers to others) the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof or by Rule 144A or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25

------

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rule 144A Information</u>. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agree that, in order to render the offered Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, while any of the offered Securities remain outstanding, the Company and the Operating Partnership will make available, upon request, to any holder of offered Securities or prospective purchasers of Securities the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4), unless the Company and the Operating Partnership furnishes information to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Restriction on Repurchases</u>. Until the expiration of one year after the original issuance of the offered Securities, the Company and the Operating Partnership will not, and will cause their respective subsidiaries not to, resell any offered Securities which are "restricted securities" (as such term is defined under Rule 144(a)(3)), whether as beneficial owner or otherwise (except as agent acting as a securities broker on behalf of and for the account of customers in the ordinary course of business in unsolicited broker's transactions).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Initial Purchasers*. Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company and the Operating Partnership that it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the 1933 Act Regulations. Each Initial Purchaser understands that the offered Securities have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. Each Initial Purchaser severally represents and agrees that it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, any offered Securities constituting part of its allotment within the United States except in accordance with Rule 144A or another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. Accordingly, neither it nor any person acting on its behalf has made or will make offers or sales of the Securities in the United States by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in the United States. Each Initial Purchaser will take reasonable steps to inform, and cause each of its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act Regulations (each, an "Affiliate")) to take reasonable steps to inform, persons acquiring Securities from such Initial Purchaser or Affiliate, as the case may be, in the United States that the Securities (A) have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act, (B) are being sold to them without registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Rule 144A or in accordance with another exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, as the case may be, and (C) may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except (1) to the Company or the Operating Partnership or (2) (x) in accordance with Rule 144A to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer that is purchasing such Securities for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the offer, sale or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (y) pursuant to another available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act.

SECTION 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Indemnification of Initial Purchasers*. The Company and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its Affiliates, its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26

------

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Final Offering Memorandum, the information contained in the Final Term Sheet, the Company Presentation listed on Schedule E hereto, any Issuer Written Information or any other information used by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities (or any amendment or supplement to the foregoing) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 7(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Final Offering Memorandum or the information contained in the Final Term Sheet (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Indemnification of the Company, the Operating Partnership, Trustees and Officers*. Each Initial Purchaser severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, their trustees, each of their officers, and each person, if any, who controls either the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7(a) above, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Initial Purchaser Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Actions against Parties; Notification*. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 or Section 8 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse*. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

SECTION 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Contribution</u>. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and of the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;28

------

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Final Offering Memorandum.

The relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Operating Partnership or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 8, each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Initial Purchaser's Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each trustee of the Company, each officer of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Initial Purchasers' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.

SECTION 9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive</u>. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or the Operating Partnership submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Initial Purchaser, its officers or trustees or any person controlling the Company or the Operating Partnership and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of Agreement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Termination*. The Representative may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, in the judgment of the Representative, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs, business prospects, management, assets or properties of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or (iv) if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq Global Select Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Liabilities*. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17 and 18 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Default by One or More of the Initial Purchasers</u>. If one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the "Defaulted Securities"), the Representative shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or any other initial purchasers, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective obligations hereunder bear to the obligations of all non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, 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;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase, and the Company to sell, the Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30

------

No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, either (i) the Representative or (ii) the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term "Initial Purchaser" includes any person substituted for an Initial Purchaser under this Section 11.

SECTION 12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices</u>. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication.

Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the initial offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering of the Securities and the process leading thereto, each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Operating Partnership or their shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Operating Partnership with respect to the offering of the Securities or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Operating Partnership on other matters) and no Initial Purchaser has any obligation to the Company or the Operating Partnership with respect to the offering of the Securities except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company or the Operating Partnership and (e) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering of the Securities and the Company and the Operating Partnership have consulted their own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

SECTION 14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party's address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law will be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.04&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Payments on the Securities*.

Interest on a Security will cease to accrue upon the earliest of the Maturity Date, subject to the provisions of <u>Article III</u> hereof, any Fundamental Change Purchase Date for such Security, subject to the provisions of <u>Article IV</u> hereof, any Redemption Date for such security and, subject to the provisions of <u>Article V</u> hereof, any Conversion Date for such Security. Interest on any Security will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning January 15, 2026, to the Holder of such Security as of the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Pursuant to <u>Section 7.04</u> hereof, in certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay Holders Additional Interest.

The Securities will mature on the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date, each Holder of a then Outstanding Security will be entitled on such date to receive $1,000 in cash for each $1,000 in principal amount of then Outstanding Securities held, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Maturity Date on such then Outstanding Securities.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date or any Conversion Date falls, or if any payment, delivery, notice or other action by the Company is otherwise due, on a day that is not a Business Day, then any action to be taken on such date need not be taken on such date, but may be taken on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if taken on such date, and no additional interest will accrue and no Default shall occur on account of such delay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)*Method of Payment*. The Company will pay the principal of, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, the Redemption Price for, and any cash portion of the Settlement Amount with respect to, any Physical Security to the Holder of such Security in cash at the designated office of the Paying Agent in the borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, New York, prior to 10:00 a.m. on the relevant payment or settlement date, as the case may be. The Company will pay any interest on any Physical Security to the Holder of such Security (i) if such Holder holds $2,000,000 or less aggregate principal amount of Securities, by check mailed to such Holder's registered address, and (ii) if such Holder holds more than $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, (A) by check mailed to such Holder's registered address or, (B) if such Holder delivers to the Security Registrar a written request that the Company make such payments by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, for each interest payment corresponding to each Regular Record Date occurring during the period beginning on the date on which such Holder delivered such request and ending on the date, if any, on which such Holder delivers to the Security Registrar a written instruction to the contrary, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by such Holder.

The Company will pay the principal of, interest on, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, the Redemption Price for, and any cash portion of the Settlement Amount with respect to, any Global Security to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the relevant payment date in accordance with Applicable Procedures.

Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 date of the Fundamental Change;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 last date on which a Holder of Securities may exercise the purchase right pursuant to this <u>Article III</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Fundamental Change Purchase 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;(v)the Fundamental Change Purchase 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)that the Holder shall have the right to withdraw any Securities surrendered for purchase prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time; 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;(x)the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their Securities.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the purchase rights of the Holders of Securities or affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Securities pursuant to this <u>Section 3.01</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to this <u>Section 3.01</u> if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Securities). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Securities held by it during the acceleration of the Securities (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Securities) and shall deem to be cancelled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Securities in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 3.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice*. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice specified in <u>Section 3.01</u> hereof, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in cash with respect to such Security (and any previously accrued and unpaid interest on such Security). Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, on the later of (x) the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided the conditions in <u>Section 3.01</u> hereof have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery or book-entry transfer of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by <u>Section 3.01</u> hereof, subject in each case to extensions to comply with applicable law.

Section 3.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice*. A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time, specifying:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 principal amount of the Securities with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Physical Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Securities; 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;(iii)the principal amount, if any, of each Security that remains subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which must be such that the principal amount not to be purchased equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

*provided*, *however*, that if the Securities are Global Securities, the notice must comply with Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.

The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this <u>Section 3.03</u>.

Section 3.04 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price*. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Paying Agent holds cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, (a) such Securities will cease to be Outstanding and interest will cease to accrue thereon (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Securities is made or such Securities have been delivered to the Paying Agent) and (b) all other rights of the Holders in respect thereof will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery or book-entry transfer of such Securities).

Section 3.05&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Securities Purchased in Whole or in Part*. Any Security that is to be purchased, whether in whole or in part, shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires in the case of Physical Securities, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.

------

Section 3.06&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Covenant To Comply with Applicable Laws upon Purchase of Securities*. In connection with any offer to purchase Securities under <u>Section 3.01</u> hereof, the Company shall, in each case if required by law, (i) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (ii) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act and (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to the Company in connection with such purchase offer, in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under <u>Section 3.01</u> hereof to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in <u>Section 3.01</u> hereof.

Section 3.07&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Repayment to the Company*. To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to <u>Section 3.04</u> hereof exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall promptly return any such excess to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Article IV of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Securities. Instead, the provisions of this <u>Article IV</u> shall, with respect to the Securities, supersede in its entirety Article IV of the Base Indenture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Securities shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to July 20, 2028. On or after July 20, 2028, the Company may redeem (an "**Optional Redemption**") for cash all or any portion of the Securities at the Redemption Price, at the Company's option, if the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30-consecutive-Trading-Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Notice of Redemption in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof.

Section 4.04&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities*.

The Optional Redemption Date must be a Business Day and the Company shall not specify a Redemption Date that falls on or after the 31st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Simultaneously with providing a Redemption Notice, the Company shall publish, or cause to be published, a notice containing the information set forth in such Redemption Notice on the Company's website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Redemption Notice, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Notice of Redemption by mail or any defect in the Notice of Redemption to the Holder of any Security designated for Optional Redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the Optional Redemption of any other Security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Each Redemption Notice shall specify:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Redemption 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption 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;(v)that Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Securities and the Cash Percentage, if 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)the then-current Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 5.06 hereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)In the event of any redemption in part, the Company shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Securities to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Securities.

**ARTICLE V**

**CONVERSION**

Section 5.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Right To Convert*. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to convert its Securities, or any portion of its Securities such that the principal amount that remains Outstanding of each Security that is not converted in full equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, into the Settlement Amount determined in accordance with <u>Section 5.03(a)</u> hereof, (x) prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 15, 2029, only upon satisfaction of one or more of the conditions described in <u>Section 5.01(b)</u> hereof, and (y) on or after July 15, 2029, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Holder may surrender Securities for conversion during any fiscal quarter commencing after December 31, 2025 (and only during such fiscal quarter) if the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Conversion Price in effect on each 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)A Holder may surrender Securities for conversion during the five Business Day period after any five-consecutive-Trading-Day period (the "**Measurement Period**") in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this <u>Section 5.01(b)(ii)</u>, for each Trading Day of such Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (ii) the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares on such Trading Day. The Trading Price shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 5.01(b)(ii)</u> and the definition of "Trading Price" set forth in <u>Section 1.02</u> hereof. The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company in accordance with the definition of Trading Price, along with the appropriate contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities unless the Company has requested such determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, to determine the Trading Price of the Securities) unless a Holder of at least $3.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Securities provides it with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the next Trading Day and (ii) the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares on such Trading Day. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) to determine (or, if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine) the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities for a Trading Day is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (ii) the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares on such Trading Day. Whenever the condition to conversion set forth in this <u>Section 5.01(b)(ii)</u> has been met, but was not met on the immediately preceding Trading Day, the Company will so notify the Holders and the Trustee. If, at any time after the condition to conversion set forth in this <u>Section 5.01(b)(ii)</u> has been met, the condition to conversion set forth in this <u>Section 5.01(b)(ii)</u> ceases to be met, the Company will so notify the Holders and the Trustee on the first Trading Day on which such condition ceases to be met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)If the Company calls any Security for Optional Redemption pursuant to Article IV hereof prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 15, 2029, then a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Securities for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the relevant Redemption Date, even if the Securities are not otherwise convertible at such time. After that time, the right to convert on account of the Company's delivery of a Redemption Notice shall expire, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of Securities may convert its Securities until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)If the Company elects to (x) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Shares for the 10-consecutive-Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or (y) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares the Company's assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company's securities, which distribution has a per-share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Trustees, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, then, the Company must deliver notice of such issuance or distribution, and of the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution, to the Holders at least 40 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time during the period beginning on the 35th Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and ending on the earlier of (a) the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution or (b) its announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, even if the Securities are not otherwise convertible at such time; *provided*, *however*, that Holders may not convert their Securities pursuant to this <u>Section 5.01(b)(iii)</u> if the Company provides that Holders shall participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Shares, and as a result of holding the Securities, in the relevant issuance or distribution without having to convert their Securities as if they held a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution *multiplied* by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holder on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)If (i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or (ii) the Company is a party to (a) a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Shares would be converted into cash, securities or other assets or (b) a sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, to another person (other than any of the Company's Subsidiaries), the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the date that is 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date or the anticipated effective date of such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, as the case may be (or, if later, the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such transaction) until the Close of Business (i) if such transaction is a Fundamental Change, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, and, (ii) otherwise, on the 35th Business Day immediately following the effective date for such transaction. The Company will notify the Holders and the Trustee of any such transaction:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction; 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)if the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, within one Business Day of the date upon which the Company receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware, of such transaction, but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of the Securities or this Indenture, no Holder of Securities will be entitled to receive Common Shares following conversion of such Securities to the extent that receipt of such Common Shares would cause such Holder (after application of certain constructive ownership rules) to exceed the ownership limits or violate any other restriction on the ownership and transfer of the Company's shares of beneficial interest as provided in the Company's declaration of trust. Any purported delivery of Common Shares upon conversion of such Securities will be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in a violation of the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company's shares of beneficial interest set forth in the Company's declaration of trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If any delivery of Common Shares owed to a Holder upon conversion of Securities is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the limitations described in <u>Section 5.01(c)</u> hereof, the Company's obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such shares as promptly as practicable after any such converting Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in it being the beneficial or constructive owner of more than 9.8% (by value or number, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of shares of beneficial interest of the Company outstanding at such time.

Section 5.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Conversion Procedures*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Each Security shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To exercise the conversion privilege with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Security, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary's book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by <u>Section 5.02(f)</u> hereof and any taxes or duties if required pursuant to <u>Section 5.02(g)</u> hereof, and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary.

To exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Physical Securities, the Holder of such Physical Securities shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)complete and manually sign a conversion notice in the form set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (the "**Conversion Notice**") or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)deliver the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Security to the Conversion Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)if required, make any payment required under <u>Section 5.02(f)</u> hereof; 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;(v)if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in <u>Section 5.02(g)</u> hereof.

If a Security is subject to a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, such Security may not be converted unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with <u>Section 3.03</u> hereof prior to the relevant Fundamental Change Expiration Time.

For any Security, the first Business Day on which the Holder of such Security satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above with respect to such Security and on which conversion of such Security is not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture shall be the "**Conversion Date**" with respect to such Security.

------

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Securities (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion at the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date; *provided*, *however*, that the person in whose name the certificate for any Common Shares delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Security, the converting Holder shall no longer be the Holder of such Security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)*Endorsement*. Any Securities surrendered for conversion shall, unless Common Shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Securities, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or its duly authorized attorney.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)*Physical Securities*. If any Securities in a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Securities so surrendered, without charge, new Securities in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)*Global Securities*. Upon the conversion of a beneficial interest in Global Securities, the Conversion Agent shall make a notation in its records as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Securities effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)*Interest Due Upon Conversion*. If a Holder converts a Security after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date but prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, such Holder must accompany such Security with an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that will payable on such Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date; *provided*, *however*, that a Holder need not make such payment (1) if the Conversion Date follows the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date and the Holder converts its Security after the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Open of Business on such Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Security. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date will receive the full interest payment, if any, due on the Maturity Date in cash regardless of whether their Securities have been converted following such Regular Record Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)*Taxes Due upon Conversion*. If a Holder converts a Security, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any Common Shares upon the conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests that any shares be issued in a name other than the Holder's name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax.

Section 5.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Settlement Upon Conversion*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)*Settlement Amount*. Except as provided below in clause (v) of this <u>Section 5.03(a)</u> and in <u>Section 5.06(b)</u> hereof, upon conversion of any Security, on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, the Company shall satisfy its obligation to deliver amounts due upon conversion (the "**Conversion Obligation**") by paying or delivering, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, a "**Settlement Amount**" equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 30 consecutive Trading Days during the relevant Observation Period for such Security, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional Common Share in accordance with <u>subsection (b)</u> of this <u>Section 5.03</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Final Conversion Period, and all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the Company shall have issued a Redemption Notice and prior to the related Redemption Date, shall be settled using the same forms and amounts of 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Except for any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Final Conversion Period or after the Company shall have issued a Redemption Notice and prior to the related Redemption Date, the Company shall use the same forms and amounts of consideration for all conversions with the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same forms and amounts of consideration with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Final Conversion Period or after the Company shall have issued a Redemption Notice and prior to the related Redemption Date), the Company elects to settle all or a portion of its Conversion Obligation in excess of the principal portion of the Securities being converted in cash in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company shall inform converting Holders through (and upon a written request to) the Trustee of such election (the "**Settlement Notice**"**)** no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, (x) in the case of any conversions of Securities for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Final Conversion, prior to the Final Conversion Period and (y) in the case of any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the Company shall have issued a Redemption Notice and prior to the related Redemption Date, in the related Redemption Notice) and the Company shall indicate in such Settlement Notice the percentage of the Conversion Obligation in excess of the principal portion of the Securities being converted that shall be paid in cash (the "**Cash Percentage**"**)**. If the Company does not elect a Cash Percentage prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect a Cash Percentage with respect to any conversion on such Conversion Date or during such period, and the Company shall be deemed to have elected a Cash Percentage of 0% with respect to such conversion. In no event shall the Company's failure to make a timely election of the Cash Percentage constitute an Event of Default under 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)The Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional Common Share, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the Daily Settlement Amounts, the Daily Net Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional Common Shares. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)If, prior to the relevant Conversion Date, the Common Shares have been replaced by Reference Property consisting solely of cash, pursuant to <u>Section 5.07</u> hereof, the Company shall pay such cash on the second Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)*Fractional Shares*. The Company shall not issue any fractional Common Share upon conversion of the Securities and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Common Share issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period. For each Security surrendered for conversion, the full number of shares, if any, that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Securities shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)*Settlement of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal*. If a Holder converts a Security, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Security and the Company's delivery of the amount of cash and the number of Common Shares, if any, into which a Security is convertible will be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the Company's obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Security to, but excluding, the Conversion Date; *provided*, *however*, that if a Holder converts a Security after a Regular Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will still be obligated to pay the interest due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such Security on such Regular Record Date (and the Holder shall pay to the Company the interest payment upon conversion if so required by <u>Section 5.02(f)</u> hereof).

As a result, except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to a converted Security will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. In addition, if the Settlement Amount for any Security includes both cash and Common Shares, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the amount of cash delivered upon such conversion. In no event will a Holder be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to any Common Shares issued on conversion of such Holder's Securities if the applicable Conversion Date is after the Regular Record Date for such dividend or distribution. Prior to the settlement of any conversion in accordance with this <u>Section 5.03</u>, a Holder shall not be the owner of any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such Holder's Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)*Notices*. Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Security, the Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than the Business Day immediately following such Conversion Date, deliver to the Company and the Trustee, if it is not then the Conversion Agent, notice that a Conversion Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the principal amount of Securities converted on such Conversion Date and the names of the Holders that converted Securities on such Conversion Date.

Section 5.04&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Adjustment of Conversion Rate*. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as described in this <u>Section 5.04</u>, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Shares and as a result of holding the Securities, in any of the transactions described below without having to convert their Securities, as if they held a number of Common Shares equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, *multiplied* by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Company exclusively issues Common Shares as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all Common Shares, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x OS1 <br> OS0

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR0 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable; |
| CR1 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date; |
| OS0 | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date, as applicable, before giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination; and |
| OS1 | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as applicable. |

---

------

Any adjustment made under this <u>Section 5.04(a)</u> shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this <u>Section 5.04(a)</u> is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Trustees determines not to pay such dividend or distribution to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Shares for the 10-consecutive-Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x OS0 + X <br> OS0 + Y

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR0 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; |
| CR1 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| OS0 | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| X | the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |
| Y | the number of Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants *divided* by the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Shares over the 10-consecutive-Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants. |

---

Any increase made under this <u>Section 5.04(b)</u> will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or Common Shares are not delivered upon the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Common Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, or if such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this <u>Section 5.04(b)</u> and <u>Section 5.01(b)(iii)</u> hereof, in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than such average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Shares for the 10-consecutive-Trading-Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Trustees.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common 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;(i)dividends or distributions, rights options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to <u>Section 5.04(a)</u> hereof or <u>Section 5.04(b)</u> hereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to <u>Section 5.04(d)</u> hereof; 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;(iii)Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> shall apply;

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

CR1 = CR0 x SP0 <br> SP0 - FMV

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR0 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| CR1 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| SP0 | the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Shares over the 10-consecutive-Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and |
| FMV | the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Trustees) of the shares of the Company's Capital Stock, evidences the Company's indebtedness, other assets, or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company's Capital Stock or other securities distributed with respect to each outstanding Common Share on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |

---

If "FMV" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the "SP0" (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Securities shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Shares, the amount and kind of the Company's Capital Stock, evidences of the Company's indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company's Capital Stock or other securities that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to one of the Company's Subsidiaries or other business units, and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the distribution) on a United States national securities exchange (a "**Spin-Off**"), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

------

CR1 = CR0 x FMV0 + MP0 <br> MP0

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR0 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; |
| CR1 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; |
| FMV0 | the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Shares applicable to one Common Share over the first 10-consecutive-Trading-Day period after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off (the "**Valuation Period**"); and |
| MP0 | the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Shares over the Valuation Period. |

---

The adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> will be made immediately after the Open of Business on the day after the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. If the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion, references within this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced, for purposes of calculating the affected Daily Conversion Values in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period. For purposes of determining the applicable Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Ex-Dividend Date for any Spin-Off, references within the portion of this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> related to "Spin-Offs" to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, the relevant Conversion Date.

For purposes of the second adjustment set forth in this <u>clause 5.04(c)</u>, (i) the Last Reported Sales Price of any Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be calculated in a manner analogous to that used to calculate the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares in the definition of "Last Reported Sales Price" set forth in <u>Section 1.02</u> hereof, (ii) whether a day is a Trading Day (and whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for such Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be determined in a manner analogous to that used to determine whether a day is a Trading Day (or whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for the Common Shares, and (iii) whether a day is a Trading Day to be included in a Valuation Period will be determined based on whether a day is a Trading Day for both the Common Shares and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest.

------

Subject to <u>Section 5.04(g)</u> hereof, for the purposes of this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u>, rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a "**Trigger Event**"): (1) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Shares; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u>, (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u>. If any such right, option or warrant, distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date of such deemed distribution (in which case the original rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders). In addition, in the event of any distribution or deemed distribution of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by holders of Common Shares with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming each such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Shares to the extent that the aggregate of all such cash dividends or distributions paid in any quarter exceeds the dividends threshold amount (the "**DTA**") for such quarter, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x SP0 <br> SP0 – C

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR0 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| CR1 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| SP0 | the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| DTA | the dividend threshold amount, which shall initially be $0.01 per quarter; and |
| C | the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of the Common Shares in excess of the DTA. |

---

------

The DTA is subject to adjustment on an inversely proportional basis whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted other than adjustments made pursuant to this <u>Section 5.04(d)</u>. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this <u>Section 5.04(d)</u> as a result of a distribution that is not a regular quarterly dividend, the DTA will be deemed to be zero with respect to that particular adjustment.

If "C" (as defined above) is equal to or greater than "SP0" (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Shares, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution. Such increase shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Shares, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Common Share exceeds the Last Reported Sales Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the "**Offer Expiration Date**"), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x AC + (SP1 x OS1) <br> OS0 x SP1

where,

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR0 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Offer Expiration Date; |
| CR1 | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business the Offer Expiration Date; |
| AC | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Trustees) paid or payable for Common Shares purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer; |
| OS0 | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the expiration time of the tender or exchange offer on the Offer Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer); |
| OS1 | the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the expiration time of the tender or exchange offer on the Offer Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and |
| SP1 | the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Shares over the 10-consecutive-Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. |

---

------

The adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this <u>Section 5.04(e)</u> will be given effect at the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. If the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion, references within this <u>Section 5.04(e)</u> to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced, for purposes of calculating the affected Daily Conversion Values in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period. For purposes of determining the applicable Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date, references within this <u>Section 5.04(e)</u> to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date to, and including, the relevant Conversion Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)*[reserved].*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)*Poison Pill*. Whenever a Holder converts a Security, to the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect, the Holder converting such Security will receive, in addition to any Common Shares otherwise received in connection with such conversion, the rights under the rights plan unless the rights have separated from the Common Shares, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of the Common Shares, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants as described in <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> hereof, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)*Deferral of Adjustments*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except on and after the first Trading Day of any Observation Period with respect to a Security and on or prior to the last Trading Day of such Observation Period, the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent; *provided*, *however*, that any such minor adjustments that are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and *provided*, *further*, that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made shall be made (i) upon the occurrence of the Effective Date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (ii) if the Company calls the Securities for Optional Redemption, and (iii) on each Trading Day of any Observation Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)*Limitation on Adjustments*. Except as stated in this <u>Section 5.04</u>, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or the right to purchase Common Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities. If, however, the application of the formulas in <u>Sections 5.04(a)</u> through (e) hereof would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, then, except to the extent of any readjustment to the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split, share combination or readjustment).

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Conversion Rate will 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)on account of stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in <u>Section 5.04(e)</u> hereof, including structured or derivative transactions, or transactions pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Trustees or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Common 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 Common 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)upon the issuance of any Common Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan, program or agreement of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)upon the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding clause (3) and outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 a change in the par value of the Common 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)for accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities, if any; 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;(vii)for an event otherwise requiring an adjustment under this Indenture if such event is not consummated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)For purposes of this <u>Section 5.04</u>, the number of Common Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Common Shares held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)*Withholding on Adjustments*. If, in connection with any adjustment to the Conversion Rate as set forth in this <u>Section 5.04</u> a Holder shall be deemed for U.S. federal tax purposes to have received a distribution, the Company may set off any withholding tax it reasonably believes it is required to collect with respect to any such deemed distribution against cash payments of interest in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 2.04</u> hereof or from cash and Common Shares, if any, otherwise deliverable to a Holder upon a conversion of Securities in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 5.03</u> hereof or repurchase of a Security in accordance with the provisions of <u>Article III</u> hereof.

Section 5.05 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Discretionary and Voluntary Adjustments*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)*Discretionary Adjustments*. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sales Prices, the Daily VWAPs or any function thereof over a span of multiple days (including during an Observation Period), the Company will make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Effective Date, Ex-Dividend Date or Offer Expiration Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Last Reported Sales Prices, the Daily VWAPs or function thereof is to be calculated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)*Voluntary Adjustments*. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is permitted to increase the Conversion Rate of the Securities by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Trustees determines that such increase would be in the Company's best interest. The Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Shares or rights to purchase Common Shares in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.

Section 5.06 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Conversion in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Notice of Redemption*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)*Increase in the Conversion Rate*. If (1) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs, or (2) the Company provides a Notice of Redemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 hereof, and a Holder elects to convert its Securities in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Notice of Redemption, as the case may be, the Company shall, under certain circumstances, increase the Conversion Rate for the Securities so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional Common Shares (the "**Additional Shares**"), as described in this <u>Section 5.06</u>. A conversion of Securities shall be deemed for these purposes to be "in connection with" a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent during the period from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is not a Fundamental Change, the 35th Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change. A conversion of Securities will be deemed for these purposes to be "in connection with" a Notice of Redemption if the notice of conversion of the Securities is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the date of the Notice of Redemption until the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)*Cash Mergers*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the consideration paid to holders of the Common Shares in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change is comprised entirely of cash, then, for any conversion of Securities following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the payment and delivery obligations upon the conversion of a Security shall be calculated based solely on the Share Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities converted, be deemed to be an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the applicable Conversion Date (as increased by any number of Additional Shares required by this <u>Section 5.06</u>) *multiplied* by (ii) such Share Price. In such event, the Company will pay such amount of cash to a converting Holder on the second Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date. Otherwise, the Company will settle any conversion of the Securities following the Effective Date for a Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with <u>Section 5.02</u> hereof (but subject to <u>Section 5.07</u> hereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)*Determining the Number of Additional Shares*. The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased for a Holder that converts its Securities in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Notice of Redemption shall be determined by reference to the table attached as <u>Schedule A</u> hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the "**Effective Date**") or the date of the Notice of Redemption and the price (the "**Share Price**") paid (or deemed paid) per Common Share in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or with respect to the Optional Redemption, as the case may be. If the holders of the Common Shares receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Share Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Shares over the 10-consecutive-Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the date of the Notice of Redemption, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)*Interpolation and Limits*. The exact Share Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table in <u>Schedule A</u>, in which case:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)If the Share Price is between two Share Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 the Share Price is greater than $100.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in <u>Schedule A</u> pursuant to <u>Section 5.06(d)(iv)</u> hereof), the Conversion Rate shall not be increased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)If the Share Price is less than $11.56 per share (subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in <u>Schedule A</u> pursuant to <u>Section 5.06(d)(iv)</u> hereof), the Conversion Rate shall not be increased.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate exceed 86.5051 Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted as set forth in <u>Section 5.04</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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 Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in <u>Schedule A</u> hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is otherwise required to be adjusted. The adjusted Share Prices shall equal the Share Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, *multiplied* by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Share Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted as set forth in <u>Section 5.04</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)*Notices*. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.

Section 5.07&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)*Merger Events*. In the case of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination for which an adjustment was made pursuant to <u>Section 5.04(a)</u> hereof);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)any consolidation, merger or combination 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; 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;(iv)any statutory share exchange;

and, in each case, as a result of which the Common Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a "**Merger Event**," any such stock, other securities, other property or assets, "**Reference Property**," and the amount of kind of Reference Property that a holder of one Common Share (i) is entitled to receive in the applicable Merger Event or (ii) if as a result of the applicable Merger Event, each Common Share is converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the per-Common Share weighted average of the types and amounts of Reference Property actually received by the holders of the Common Shares, a "**Unit of Reference Property**") then, at the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities based on a number of Common Shares equal to the applicable Conversion Rate will, without the consent of the Holders, be changed into a right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities based on a number of Units of Reference Property equal to the applicable Conversion Rate and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities; *provided*, *however*, that (i) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with <u>Sections 5.03</u> and <u>5.06</u> hereof shall continue to be payable in cash, (ii) the number of Common Shares that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with <u>Sections 5.03</u> and <u>5.06</u> hereof shall instead be deliverable in Units of Reference Property and (iii) the Daily VWAP and the Last Reported Sales Price will, to the extent reasonably possible, be calculated based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property and the definitions of Trading Day and Market Disruption Event shall be determined by reference to the components of a Unit of Reference Property.

If the Merger Event causes the Common Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election) as contemplated by the preceding paragraph such that a Unit of Reference Property is comprised of the per-Common Share weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Shares in the Merger Event that affirmatively make such an election, the Company shall notify Holders of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this <u>Section 5.07</u>. Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this <u>Article V</u> in the judgment of the Board of Trustees or the board of directors of the successor person. If, in the case of any such Merger Event, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Shares includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a person other than the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other person.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)*Notice of Supplemental Indentures*. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Securities maintained by the Security Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this <u>Section 5.07</u> shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

Section 5.08 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shares Issued Upon Conversion*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)*Reservation of Shares*. To the extent necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Indenture, prior to issuing any Common Shares, the Company will reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of Common Shares to permit the conversion of the Securities.

The Company shall list or cause to have quoted any Common Shares to be issued upon conversion of Securities on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted.

Section 5.09 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Responsibility of Trustee*. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine or calculate the Conversion Rate, to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or to confirm the accuracy of any such adjustment when made or the appropriateness of the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares or of any other securities or property that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Securities, and are not responsible for monitoring the price of any of the foregoing; and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Shares or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Securities for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this <u>Article V</u>. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity as Conversion Agent.

Section 5.10 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notice to Holders*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)*Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions*. The Company shall deliver notices of the events specified below at the times specified below and containing the information specified below unless, in each case, (i) pursuant to this Indenture, the Company is already required to deliver notice of such event containing at least the information specified below at an earlier time or, (ii) the Company, at the time it is required to deliver a notice, does not have knowledge of all of the information required to be included in such notice, in which case, the Company shall (A) deliver notice at such time containing only the information that it has knowledge of at such time (if it has knowledge of any such information at such time), and (B) promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any such information not already included in a notice delivered by the Company, deliver notice to each Holder containing such information. In each case, the failure by the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)*Issuances, Distributions, and Dividends and Distributions*. If the Company (A) announces any issuance of any rights, options or warrants that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to <u>Section 5.04(b)</u> hereof; (B) authorizes any distribution that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to <u>Section 5.04(c)</u> hereof (including any separation of rights from the Common Shares described in <u>Section 5.04(g)</u> hereof); or (C) announces any dividend or distribution that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to <u>Section 5.04(d)</u> hereof, then the Company shall deliver to the Holders, as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Ex-Dividend Date, notice describing such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be, and stating the expected Ex-Dividend Date and record date for such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Holders notice if the consideration included in such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, or the Ex-Dividend Date or record date of such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be, changes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)*Voluntary Increases*. If the Company increases the Conversion Rate pursuant to <u>Section 5.05(b)</u> hereof, the Company shall deliver notice to the Holders at least 15 calendar days prior to the date on which such increase will become effective, which notice shall state the date on which such increased will become effective and the amount by which the Conversion Rate will be increased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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)*Dissolutions, Liquidations and Winding-Ups*. If there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Company shall deliver notice to the Holders as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 calendar days prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, is expected to become effective or occur, and (ii) the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, which notice shall state the expected effective date and record date for such event, as applicable, and the amount and kind of property that a holder of one Common Share is expected to be entitled, or may elect, to receive in such event. The Company shall deliver an additional notice to holders, as promptly as practicable, whenever the expected effective date or record date, as applicable, or the amount and kind of property that a holder of one Common Share is expected to be entitled to receive in such event, changes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)*Notices After Certain Actions and Events*. Whenever an adjustment to the Conversion Rate becomes effective pursuant to <u>Sections 5.04</u>, <u>5.05</u> or <u>5.06</u> hereof, the Company will (i) file with the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such adjustment has become effective, the Conversion Rate, and the manner in which the adjustment was computed and (ii) deliver notice to the Holder's stating that such adjustment has become effective and the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege as adjusted. Failure to give any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment.

**ARTICLE VI<br>PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, and the Redemption Price for, the Securities in trust for the benefit of the holders of the 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for or Redemption Price for, the Securities, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities a sum sufficient to pay such principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Redemption Price, as the case may be, so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for or Redemption Price for, the Securities when the same shall become due and payable.

Any such report, information or document that the Company files with the SEC through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee for the purposes of this <u>Section 6.06</u> at the time of such filing through the EDGAR system (or such successor thereto).

Delivery of any such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee's receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).

Section 6.09 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Covenant to Take Certain Actions*. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate such that the Conversion Price per Common Share issuable upon conversion of the Securities would be less than the par value of the Common Shares, the Company shall take all corporate actions that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary so it may validly and legally issue Common Shares at such adjusted Conversion Rate.

Section 6.10 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rule 144A Information.* At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Securities or any Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall, at such time, constitute "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and, upon written request, any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Securities or any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such Securities, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Securities or Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144A.

Such Additional Interest shall accrue on the Securities at the rate of (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding for each day during the first 90 calendar days of such period for which the Company's failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company's Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company's Affiliates at any time during the immediately preceding three months) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities and (i) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding for each day after the first 90 calendar days of such period for which the Company's failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company's Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company's Affiliates at any time during the immediately preceding three months) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities.

For purposes of this <u>Section 6.11(a)</u>, the phrase "restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities" shall not include, for the avoidance of doubt, the assignment of a restricted CUSIP number or the existence of the Restrictive Securities Legend on Securities in compliance with <u>Section 2.03(e)</u> hereof, in either case, during the six-month period described in this <u>Section 6.11(a)</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If, and for so long as, the Restrictive Securities Legend on the Securities specified in <u>Section 2.03(e)</u> hereof has not been removed, the Securities are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company's Affiliates or Holders that were the Company's Affiliates at any time during the immediately preceding three months (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities) as of the 385th day after the last date of original issuance of the Securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or any additional Securities issued pursuant to <u>Section 2.01(c)</u> hereof, as the case may be, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Securities at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding for the first 90 calendar days after such 385th calendar day until the restrictive legend has been removed from the Securities, the Securities are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Securities are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company's Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company's Affiliates at any time during the immediately preceding three months) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding after the first 90 calendar days after such 385th calendar day until the Restrictive Securities Legend on the Securities has been removed in accordance with <u>Section 2.03(e)</u> hereof, the Securities are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Securities are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company's Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company's Affiliates at any time during the immediately preceding three months) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities; *provided, however,* that no Additional Interest shall accrue or be owed pursuant to this <u>Section 6.11(b)</u> until the fifth Business Day following written notification to the Company by the Trustee at the written direction of any Holder or by any Holder or beneficial owner of Securities requesting that the Company comply with its obligation to pay such Additional Interest (which notice may be given at any time after the 330th day after the last date of original issuance of the Securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or any additional Securities issued pursuant to <u>Section 2.01(c)</u> hereof, as the case may be), it being understood and agreed that in no event shall Additional Interest accrue or be owed pursuant to this <u>Section 6.11(b)</u> for any period prior to the 385th day after the last date of original issuance of the Securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or any additional Securities issued pursuant to <u>Section 2.01(c)</u> hereof, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Additional Interest that is payable in accordance with <u>Section 6.11(a)</u> or <u>Section 6.11(b)</u> hereof shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Additional Interest that may be payable as a result of the Company's election pursuant to <u>Section 7.04(a)</u> hereof.

------

Section 7.03 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment*. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in <u>Section 7.02(h)</u> or <u>Section 7.02(i)</u> hereof with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company)), unless the principal of all of the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in <u>Section 7.02(h)</u> or <u>Section 7.02(i)</u> hereof with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Securities shall be immediately due and payable.

Section 7.04 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additional Interest*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company's failure to comply with <u>Section 6.06</u> hereof (a "**Reporting Event of Default**"), will consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Securities at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the Outstanding principal amount of the Securities for the first 180 days of the 360-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the Outstanding principal amount of the Securities for the last 180 days of such 360-day period as long as such Event of Default is continuing. If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 6.11(c)</u> hereof. On the 361st day after such Event of Default (if the Reporting Event of Default is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), the Securities will be subject to acceleration pursuant to <u>Section 7.03</u> hereof. The provisions of this <u>Section 7.04</u> will not affect the rights of Holders of Securities in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default that is not a Reporting Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this <u>Section 7.04</u> or the Company elected to make such payment but do not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in <u>Section 7.03</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of an Reporting Event of Default, the Company must notify all Holders of Securities, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 360-day period. Upon the Company's failure to timely give such notice, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in <u>Section 7.03</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)In no event shall Additional Interest payable, as set forth in this <u>Section 7.04</u>, at the Company's election for failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in <u>Section 6.06</u> hereof, together with any Additional Interest that may accrue as a result of the Company's failure to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than reports on Form 8-K), pursuant to <u>Section 6.11(a)</u> hereof, accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to this Indenture, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.

Section 7.05 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Waiver of Past Defaults*. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive (including by way of consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, the Securities) all past Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Securities (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from nonpayment of principal or interest, a failure to deliver consideration due upon conversion or any other provisions that requires the consent of each affected Holder to amend) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences if (i) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration have been cured or waived.

------

Section 7.06 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Control by Majority*. At any time, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or for exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to the Trustee's duties under Article IX of the Base Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, that the Trustee determines to be unduly prejudicial to the rights of a Holder or to the Trustee, or that would potentially involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee's instituting such proceeding as the Trustee. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 7.07 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limitation on Suits*. Subject to <u>Section 7.08</u> hereof, no Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities deliver to the Trustee a written request that the Trustee pursue a remedy with respect to such Event of Default;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)such Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or other expense of compliance with such written request;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)the Trustee has not complied with such written request within 60 days after receipt of such written request and offer of indemnity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities did not deliver to the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holder, it being understood that the Trustee does not have any affirmative duty to ascertain whether any usage of this Indenture by a Holder is unduly prejudicial to such other Holders.

Section 7.08 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, or Redemption Price for, its Securities, on or after the respective due date, and to convert its Securities and receive payment or delivery of the consideration due with respect to such Securities in accordance with <u>Article V</u> hereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or conversion rights, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder and will not be subject to the requirements of <u>Section 7.07</u> hereof.

Section 7.09 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Collection of Indebtedness; Suit for Enforcement by Trustee*. If an Event of Default specified in <u>Section 7.02(a)</u>, <u>7.02(b)</u> or <u>7.02(c)</u> hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, Redemption Price for, and the amount of cash or the combination of cash and Common Shares, if any, as the case may be, due upon the conversion of, the Securities, as the case may be, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, as well as any other amounts that may be due under Section 9.07 of the Base Indenture.

Section 7.10 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities*. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 7.11 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trustee May File Proofs of Claim*. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, will be entitled to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.07 of the Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.07 of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding, will be denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien on, and is paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or to accept or to adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities 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 7.12 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restoration of Rights and Remedies*. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 7.13 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rights and Remedies Cumulative*. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 7.14 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Delay or Omission Not a Waiver*. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this <u>Article VII</u> or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee (subject to the limitations contained in this Indenture) or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 7.15 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Priorities*. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this <u>Article VII</u>, it will pay out the money in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 9.07 of the Base Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

SECOND: to the Holders, for any amounts due and unpaid on the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, Redemption Price for, and any cash due upon conversion of, any Security, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on all of the Securities; and

THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company or to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.

------

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this <u>Section 7.15</u>. If the Trustee so fixes a record date and a payment date, at least 15 days prior to such record date, the Company will deliver to each Holder and the Trustee a written notice, which notice will state such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment.

Section 7.16 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Undertaking for Costs*. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder, by such Holder's acceptance of a Security, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; *provided*, *however*, that the provisions of this <u>Section 7.16</u> shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, or Redemption Price for, any Security on or after the due date expressed or provided for in this Indenture or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with the provisions of <u>Article V</u> hereof.

Section 7.17 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Waiver of Stay, Extension and Usury Laws*. The Company covenants that, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will instead suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 7.18 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notices from the Trustee*. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture, whenever a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee in accordance with the Base Indenture, the Trustee must deliver notice of such Default to the Holders within 90 days after the date on which such Default first occurred. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for or Redemption Price for, any Security or of a Default in the payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the consideration due upon conversion of a Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

**Article VIII<br>SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE**

Section 8.03 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held*. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies and Common Shares, if any, then held by any Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies and Common Shares.

Section 8.04 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Return of Unclaimed Monies*.

------

Section 8.05 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reinstatement*. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Common Shares in accordance with <u>Section 8.02</u> hereof by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to <u>Section 8.01</u> hereof until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money and Common Shares in accordance with <u>Section 8.02</u> hereof; *provided*, *however*, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on, principal of or payment or delivery in respect of any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Common Shares, if any, held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 11.04 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trust Indenture Act*. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control.

If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee's understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee's reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 11.09 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ratification of Base Indenture*. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed part of the Base Indenture in the manner and to the extent herein provided. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Company and each Holder of Securities, by its acceptance of such Securities, acknowledges and agrees that all of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits afforded to the Trustee under the Base Indenture are deemed to be incorporated herein, and shall be enforceable by the Trustee hereunder, in each of its capacities hereunder as if set forth herein in full.

Section 11.10 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Trustee*. The recitals in this Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee, and all of the provisions contained in the Base Indenture in respect of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be applicable in respect of the Securities and of this Supplemental Indenture as fully and with like effect as set forth in full herein.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities, the Indenture or any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Security, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

Section 11.12 *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Submission to Jurisdiction*. **THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, AND IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.**

**News Release**

**Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Launches Private Offering of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2030**

**Bethesda, MD, September 16, 2025 –** Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) (the "Company") today announced that it has launched a private placement, subject to market conditions and other factors, of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Notes"). The Company expects to grant to the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase up to an additional $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes solely to cover over-allotments, if any, for settlement within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the first date on which the Notes are issued.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering (and, if the initial purchasers of the Notes exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes) to repurchase, in privately negotiated transactions, certain of its 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 ("2026 Notes").

In connection with such repurchases, the Company expects that holders of the 2026 Notes that sell their 2026 Notes to the Company may enter into or unwind various derivatives with respect to the Company's common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Shares"), and/or purchase or sell Common Shares in the market to hedge their exposure in connection with these transactions. The Company understands that many holders of the 2026 Notes employ a convertible arbitrage strategy with respect to the 2026 Notes and have a short position with respect to the Common Shares that they may close, through purchases of Common Shares and/or by entry into or unwinding of economically equivalent derivatives transactions with respect to the Common Shares, in connection with the Company's repurchase of their 2026 Notes for cash. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Common Shares and/or increase the effective conversion price for the Notes at that time.

The Notes and any of the Company's common shares (the "Common Shares") issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration. The Notes will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company expects to enter into one or more privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers, their respective affiliates and/or other counterparties (the "Option Counterparties"). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of Common Shares underlying the Notes. The capped call transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to Common Shares upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

![peblogowopb.jpg](peblogowopb.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Page 1

------

The Company has been advised that in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase Common Shares and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Common Shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Common Shares or the Notes at that time and/or increase the effective conversion price for the Notes.

In addition, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Common Shares and/or purchasing or selling Common Shares or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so following any conversion, repurchase, or redemption of the Notes, to the extent the Company exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Common Shares or the Notes, which could affect the ability of holders to convert the Notes. To the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could also affect the number of Common Shares and value of the consideration that holders will receive upon conversion of the Notes.

In connection with the repurchase of the 2026 Notes, the Company may also enter into agreements with the existing capped call counterparties concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes to unwind a portion of its existing capped call transactions with respect to a number of Common Shares equal to the notional shares underlying any 2026 Notes to be repurchased. In connection with the termination of these transactions, and the related unwinding of the existing hedge positions of the existing capped call counterparties with respect to such transactions, the Company expects that the existing capped call counterparties or their respective affiliates may sell Common Shares in the open market and/or enter into or unwind various derivative transactions with respect to the Common Shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes.

Also in connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company intends to repurchase Common Shares, funding the repurchase with cash on hand of approximately $50.0 million. The Company expects to enter into transactions to repurchase such Common Shares from purchasers of the Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliates concurrently with the pricing of the Notes. These repurchases could increase, or prevent a decrease in, the market price of the Common Shares at that time and/or increase the effective conversion price for the Notes.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. In addition, this press release is neither an offer to buy nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any outstanding indebtedness of the Company.

**News Release**

**Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Announces Pricing of 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2030**

**Bethesda, MD, September 17, 2025 –** Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) (the "Company") today announced the pricing on September 16, 2025 of its private offering of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Notes") to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The private offering is expected to close on September 18, 2025 and is subject to customary closing conditions. The Company granted the initial purchasers in the offering a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes solely to cover over-allotments, if any. Concurrent with the pricing of the transaction, the initial purchasers exercised the option in full.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $389.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and commissions and other estimated offering-related expenses payable by the Company.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with approximately $4.1 million of cash on hand, to repurchase for cash approximately $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") in private transactions separately and individually negotiated with certain holders of the 2026 Notes.

The Notes will be the Company's senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of its existing and future unsecured debt that is not subordinated, senior to any future subordinated debt and junior to all existing and future debt and preferred equity of the Company's subsidiaries. The Notes will pay interest semiannually at a rate of 1.625% per annum and will mature on January 15, 2030. The Notes will have an initial conversion rate of 62.9129 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $15.89 per common share of the Company ("Common Shares") and a conversion premium of approximately 37.5% based on the closing price of $11.56 per Common Share on September 16, 2025). The initial conversion rate of the Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to July 15, 2029, the Notes will be convertible only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods, and thereafter will be convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to maturity of the Notes. Upon conversion, holders will receive cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, Common Shares or a combination of cash and Common Shares, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted.

Concurrently with the pricing of the Notes, the Company, using available cash, entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions and repurchased Common Shares pursuant to its existing common share repurchase program, each as described more fully below.

![peblogowopbb.jpg](peblogowopbb.jpg)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Page 1

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with the initial purchasers, their respective affiliates and/or other counterparties (the "Option Counterparties"). The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of Common Shares underlying the Notes. The capped call transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to Common Shares upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be approximately $20.23, which represents a premium of 75% over the last reported sales price of Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on September 16, 2025, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

The Company has been advised that in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to purchase Common Shares and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Common Shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Common Shares or the Notes at that time. The Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Common Shares and/or purchasing or selling Common Shares or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so following any conversion, repurchase, or redemption of the Notes, to the extent the Company exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Common Shares or the Notes, which could affect the ability of holders to convert the Notes. To the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could also affect the number of Common Shares and value of the consideration that holders will receive upon conversion of the Notes.

Concurrently with the pricing of the Notes and in connection with the Company's private agreements with certain holders of the 2026 Notes to purchase 2026 Notes using the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, the Company has been advised that holders of the 2026 Notes that sell their 2026 Notes to it may enter into or unwind various derivatives with respect to the Common Shares and/or purchase or sell Common Shares in the market to hedge their exposure in connection with these transactions. In particular, the Company expects that many holders of the 2026 Notes employ a convertible arbitrage strategy with respect to the 2026 Notes and have a short position with respect to the Common Shares that they may close, through purchases of Common Shares and/or the entry into or unwind of economically equivalent derivatives transactions with respect to the Common Shares, in connection with the Company's repurchase of their 2026 Notes for cash. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Common Shares and/or increase the effective conversion price for the Notes at that time.

The Company repurchased from such holders approximately 4.3 million Common Shares pursuant to its existing common share repurchase program in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or one or more of its affiliates, at a price per share equal to $11.56, which was the last reported sales price per Common Share on the NYSE on September 16, 2025. These repurchases could increase, or prevent a decrease in, the market price of the Common Shares at that time and/or increase the effective conversion price for the Notes.

In connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions (the "2026 capped call transactions") with certain financial institutions including certain of the initial purchasers or their affiliates (the "2026 capped call counterparties"). In connection with the repurchase of the 2026 Notes, the Company may also enter into agreements with the 2026 capped call counterparties shortly after the pricing of the Notes to unwind a portion of the 2026 capped call transactions with respect to a number of Common Shares equal to the notional shares underlying any 2026 Notes repurchased. In connection with the termination of these transactions, and the related unwinding of the existing hedge positions of the existing capped call counterparties with respect to such transactions, we expect that the existing capped call counterparties or their respective affiliates may sell Common Shares in the open market and/or enter into or unwind various derivative transactions with respect to our Common Shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes.

**News Release**

**Pebblebrook Hotel Trust Announces Exercise In Full of Initial Purchasers' Over-Allotment Option and Subsequent Closing of 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2030**

The Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of its existing and future unsecured debt that is not subordinated, senior to any future subordinated debt and junior to all existing and future debt and preferred equity of the Company's subsidiaries. The Notes pay interest semiannually at a rate of 1.625% per annum and will mature on January 15, 2030.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and represents that it is an "eligible contract participant" as defined in Section 1a(18) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each of Dealer and Counterparty acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Transaction to it is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof. Accordingly, Counterparty represents and warrants to Dealer that (i) it has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Transaction and is able to bear a total loss of its investment and its investments in and liabilities in respect of the Transaction, which it understands are not readily marketable, are not disproportionate to its net worth, and it is able to bear any loss in connection with the Transaction, including the loss of its entire investment in the Transaction, (ii) it is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) it is entering into the Transaction for its own account and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (iv) the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and is restricted under this Confirmation, the Securities Act and state securities laws, and (v) its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness and is capable of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of the Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and acknowledges that Dealer is a "financial institution," "swap participant" and "financial participant" within the meaning of Sections 101(22), 101(53C) and 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties hereto further agree and acknowledge (A) that this Confirmation is (i) a "securities contract," as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a "termination value," "payment amount" or "other transfer obligation" within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a "settlement payment" within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) a "swap agreement," as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to which each payment and delivery hereunder or in connection herewith is a "termination value," "payment amount" or "other transfer obligation" within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and a "transfer" within the meaning of Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (B) that Dealer is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(17), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(g), 546(j), 548(d)(2), 555, 560 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Counterparty understands that notwithstanding any other relationship between Counterparty and Dealer and its affiliates, in connection with the Transaction and any other over-the-counter derivative transactions between Counterparty and Dealer or its affiliates, Dealer or its affiliates is acting as principal and is not a fiduciary or advisor in respect of any such transaction, including any entry, exercise, amendment, unwind or termination thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Right to Extend</u>*. Dealer may divide any Component into additional Components and designate the Expiration Date and the Number of Options for each such Component if Dealer determines, in its sole discretion, that such further division would be necessary or advisable to preserve a commercially reasonable dealer's hedging or hedge unwind activity with respect to the Transaction in light of existing liquidity conditions or to enable such a dealer to purchase or sell Shares or enter into swap or other derivatives transactions with respect to Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity with respect to the Transaction in a manner that would, if such dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be compliant and consistent with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements generally applicable to transactions of the type of the Transaction; *provided* that in no event shall any Expiration Date for any Component be postponed to a date later than the Final Termination Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation, the receipt by Dealer from Counterparty of (x) any Repurchase Notification, within the applicable time period set forth in the preceding sentence, and (y) a written representation and warranty by Counterparty that, as of the date of such Repurchase Notification, Counterparty is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares, shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as provided in this paragraph. Upon receipt of any such Repurchase Notification and the related written representation and warranty, Dealer shall promptly designate an Exchange Business Day following receipt of such Repurchase Notification as an Early Termination Date with respect to the portion of the Transaction corresponding to a number of Options (the "**Repurchase Options**") equal to the lesser of (A) [(x)] of the aggregate number of Shares underlying the number of Convertible Notes specified in such Repurchase Notification, divided by the Option Entitlement[, minus (y) the number of "Repurchase Options" (as defined in the Base Call Option Confirmation), if any, that relate to such Convertible Notes (and for the purposes of determining whether any Options under this Confirmation or under, and as defined in, the Base Call Option Confirmation will be among the Repurchase Options hereunder or under, and as defined in, the Base Call Option Confirmation, the number of Convertible Notes specified in such Repurchase Notification shall be allocated first to the Base Call Option Confirmation until all Options thereunder are exercised or terminated]<sup>8</sup> and (B) the aggregate Number of Options as of the date Dealer designates such Early Termination Date and, as of such date, the aggregate Number of Options shall be reduced by the number of Repurchase Options on a pro rata basis across all Components, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

| Share Termination Alternative: | If applicable, Dealer shall deliver to Counterparty the Share Termination Delivery Property on, or within a commercially reasonable period of time after, the date when the relevant Payment Obligation would otherwise be due pursuant to Section 12.7 or 12.9 of the Equity Definitions or Sections 6(d)(ii) and 6(e) of the Agreement, as applicable, in satisfaction of such Payment Obligation in the manner reasonably requested by Counterparty free of payment. |
| Share Termination Delivery Property: | A number of Share Termination Delivery Units, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Payment Obligation divided by the Share Termination Unit Price.

| Share Termination Unit Price: | The value of property contained in one Share Termination Delivery Unit, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its discretion by commercially reasonable means and notified by the Calculation Agent to Dealer at the time of notification of the Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that in determining the Share Termination Delivery Unit Price the Calculation Agent may consider a variety of factors, including the market price of the Share Termination Delivery Units and/or the purchase price paid in connection with the commercially reasonable purchase of Share Termination Delivery Property. |

The "**Notice Percentage**" as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the aggregate Number of Shares, *plus* the aggregate number of Shares underlying any other call options sold by Dealer to Counterparty and the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Dealer with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this Section 8(e) then Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dealer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such person being an "**Indemnified Party**") from and against any and all losses (including losses relating to the Dealer's hedging activities as a consequence of becoming, or of the risk of becoming, a Section 16 "insider", including without limitation, any forbearance from hedging activities or cessation of hedging activities and any losses in connection therewith with respect to the Transaction), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act or under any U.S. state or federal law, regulation or regulatory order, in each case relating to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty, in each case relating to or arising out of such failure. This indemnity shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Dealer. Counterparty will not be liable under this indemnity provision to the extent any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court to have resulted from Dealer's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement and Section 8(c) of this Confirmation as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination, (iii) such portion of the Transaction were the only Terminated Transaction and (iv) Dealer were the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to determine the amount payable pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement. The "**Equity Percentage**" as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the "beneficial ownership" test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a "group" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) with Dealer (collectively, "**Dealer Group**") "beneficially own" (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. The "**REIT Tax Ownership**" means as of any day, the ownership of Shares by Dealer held directly or indirectly (including by nominee), and includes (i) interests that would be treated as owned through the application of Section 544 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**"), as modified by Section 856(h)(1)(B) of the Code, and (ii) interests that would be treated as owned through the application of Section 318(a) of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Tax Code.

In the case of a transfer or assignment by Counterparty of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the Agreement, in whole or in part (any such Options so transferred or assigned, the "**Transfer Options**"), to any party, withholding of such consent by Dealer shall not be considered unreasonable if such transfer or assignment does not meet the reasonable conditions that Dealer may impose including, but not limited, to the following conditions:

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with respect to any Transfer Options, Counterparty shall not be released from its notice and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8(e) or any obligations under Section 2 (regarding Extraordinary Events) or 8(d) of this Confirmation;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any Transfer Options shall only be transferred or assigned to a third party that is a U.S. person (as defined in the Code);

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dealer will not, as a result of such transfer and assignment, be required to pay the transferee on any payment date an amount under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement greater than an amount that Dealer would have been required to pay to Counterparty in the absence of such transfer and assignment;

&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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event will not occur as a result of such transfer and assignment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Counterparty shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Dealer in connection with such transfer or assignment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Staggered Settlement</u>*. If Dealer determines that the number of Shares required to be delivered to Counterparty hereunder on any Settlement Date would result in an Excess Ownership Position or that it would not be reasonably practicable or advisable for Dealer to deliver, or to acquire shares to deliver, any or all of the Shares to be delivered on any Settlement Date, then Dealer may, by notice to Counterparty prior to such Settlement Date (a "**Nominal Settlement Date**"), elect to deliver any Shares due to be delivered on two or more dates (each, a "**Staggered Settlement Date**") or at two or more times on the Nominal Settlement Date 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in such notice, Dealer will specify to Counterparty the related Staggered Settlement Dates (each of which will be on or prior to such Nominal Settlement Date) or delivery times and how it will allocate the Shares it is required to deliver hereunder on the Settlement Date among the Staggered Settlement Dates or delivery times; 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)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the aggregate number of Shares that Dealer will deliver to Counterparty hereunder on all such Staggered Settlement Dates and delivery times will equal the number of Shares that Dealer would otherwise be required to deliver on such Nominal Settlement Date; *provided* that in no event shall any Staggered Settlement Date be a date later than the Final Termination Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Disclosure</u>*. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, Counterparty and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Counterparty relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>No Netting and Set-off</u>.* The provisions of Section 2(c) of the Agreement shall not apply to the Transaction. Each party waives any and all rights it may have to set-off delivery or payment obligations it owes to the other party under the Transaction against any delivery or payment obligations owed to it by the other party, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other agreement between parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Equity Rights</u>*. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to it rights with respect to the Transaction that are senior to the claims of common shareholders in the event of Counterparty's bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the preceding sentence shall not apply at any time other than during Counterparty's bankruptcy to any claim arising as a result of a breach by Counterparty of any of its obligations under this Confirmation or the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the obligations of Counterparty under this Confirmation are not secured by any collateral that would otherwise secure the obligations of Counterparty herein under or pursuant to any other agreement.
