**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On July 10, 2025, Complete Solaria, Inc. (the "***Company***") issued a convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "***Note***") to a trust controlled by Thurman J. Rodgers, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a Director.

The Note bears a 12% interest rate. The Note is a general unsecured obligation of the Company and will mature on July 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest on the Note will accrue at a rate of 12.00% per year from July 1, 2024 and will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2026. The Note is convertible at the option of the holder at any time prior to the payment of the payment of the principal amount of the Note in full. Upon conversion of the Note, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by delivering shares of common stock of the Company (the "***Common Stock***") and paying cash in respect of any fractional shares.

The conversion rate of the Note is initially equal to 558.6592 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount due under the Note. The conversion rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Note.

The Company may not redeem the Note prior to July 5, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all (but not less than all) of Note, at its option, (i) on or after July 5, 2026 and prior to July 1, 2027, if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price for the Note then in effect and (ii) on or after July 5, 2027 and prior to the maturity date for the Note if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Note then in effect, in each case of (i) and (ii), 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 notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Note.

If the Company undergoes a change of control (as defined in the Note), then, subject to certain conditions and except as described in the Note, the holder may require the Company to redeem for cash all (but not less than all) of Note at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Note.

The Note sets forth certain events of default after which the Note may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Note becomes automatically due and payable. The following events are considered "events of default" under the Note:

● (i) any default in any payment of principal amount, change of control redemption amount or redemption price on the Note when due and payable or (ii) any default in the payment of interest when due and payable and such failure to pay is not cured within 30 calendar days from the occurrence thereof;

● failure to deliver, when required by the Note, a change of control notice or notice of a change of control or an organic change;

● default in the Company's obligation to convert the Note upon exercise of the conversion right with respect to the Note if not cured within five business days after its occurrence;

● the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective affiliates fails to pay principal when due (whether at stated maturity or otherwise) or an uncured default exists that results in the acceleration of maturity of any indebtedness of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective affiliates in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent), unless such indebtedness is discharged, or such acceleration is rescinded, stayed or annulled, within any applicable cure period set forth in the relevant agreement or instrument;

● one or more final non-appealable judgments for the payment of money in any aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000 shall be rendered against the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective affiliates, or any combination thereof, and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 60 days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to levy upon assets or properties of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective affiliates to enforce any such judgment; and

● certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company.

If certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default occur with respect to the Company, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Note shall automatically become due and payable. If an event of default with respect to the Note, other than certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default with respect to the Company, occurs and is continuing, a holder may at its option declare the Note to be immediately due and payable.

A copy of the Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference (and the foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit).

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

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

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

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company issued the Note in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Securities Act***"). This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same.

The Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

To the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued upon conversion of the Note, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with conversion of the Note and any resulting issuance of shares of Common Stock. A maximum of 2,793,296 shares of Common Stock may be issued upon conversion of the $5,000,000 principal among of the Note based on the conversion rate of 558.6592 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Note, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each conversion of this Note shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date (the "<u>Conversion Date</u>") on which the Holder of this Note has completed, signed and delivered to the Company an irrevocable conversion notice in the form attached to this Note as <u>Attachment 1</u> (the "<u>Conversion Notice</u>"). At such time as such conversion has been effected, the rights of the Holder of this Note as such Holder to the extent of the conversion and the converted part of the Note shall cease, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names the shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within two Business Days in the case of clause (i) below), the Company shall do the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) register the issuance to the converting Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion (in whole or in part) of this Note (the "<u>Underlying Shares</u>") in the Company's share transfer registry;

&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) issue the Underlying Shares and deposit such Underlying Shares with the Transfer Agent, in the name and on behalf of the Holder of the Note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) cause the Transfer Agent to issue and deliver to the converting Holder certificates or a book-entry transfer for the relevant number of shares of Common Stock to Holder; *provided*, that, if (y) either (A) the a shelf registration statement for the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion is effective and available or (B) the Underlying Shares would be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 by the Holder, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, availability of current public information or notice under the Securities Act, and (x) the Holder elects in the applicable Conversion Notice to receive such Underlying Shares through the Depository Trust Company ("<u>DTC</u>"), the Company shall credit such aggregate number of Underlying Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through DTC's Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) if the Holder has surrendered this Note in connection with such conversion, except where the entire Principal Amount is converted in full, deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the portion of the Principal Amount which was not converted.

The Holder shall cooperate with the Company and the Transfer Agent to facilitate the process outlined above, including through the execution of the Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal Amount is being converted. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal Amount converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion. The Holder and any transferee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any portion of this Note, the Principal Amount of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If a fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions hereof, be deliverable upon conversion of this Note, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall in the event the conversion is being consummated in connection with repayment in full of the Note, pay in cash an amount equal to the market price of such fractional share based on the closing price (or if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) of the Common Stock as reported in composite transactions for the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded (the "<u>Closing Sale Price</u>") on the Conversion Date; *provided*, that if the Common Stock is not listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange on the relevant date, the "Closing Sale Price" shall be the last quoted bid price for per share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the relevant date as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or a similar organization; *provided*, further that if the Common Stock is not so quoted, the "Closing Sale Price" shall be the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices per share of Common Stock on the relevant date from a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm selected by the Holder for this purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The issuance of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of Underlying Shares, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such Underlying Shares be issued in a name other than the Holder's name, in which case the Holder shall pay the tax. Upon conversion of this Note, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be, and the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of this Note in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of this Note.

Section 5.2 <u>Conversion Rate</u>. The Principal Amount of this Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a rate (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article V, the "<u>Conversion Rate</u>") initially equal to 558.6592 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount of the Note. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Section 5.3.

Section 5.3 <u>Adjustments to Conversion Rate</u>. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Note is outstanding, pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR<sub>1</sub> = CR<sub>0</sub> × <u>OS<sub>1</sub></u> <br> OS<sub>0</sub>

where

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR<sub>0</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; |
| CR<sub>1</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; |
| OS<sub>0</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; and |
| OS<sub>1</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, giving effect to such dividend or distribution. |

---

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution that is the subject of this Section 5.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the board of directors of the Company (the "<u>Board of Directors</u>") publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or combined or reverse split into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR<sub>1</sub> = CR<sub>0</sub> × <u>OS<sub>1</sub></u> <br> OS<sub>0</sub>

where

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR<sub>0</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the effective date of such subdivision or combination; |
| CR<sub>1</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect on the effective date of such subdivision or combination; |
| OS<sub>0</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the effective date of such subdivision or combination; and |
| OS<sub>1</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, giving effect to such subdivision or combination. |

---

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) In case the Company shall issue rights (other than rights issued pursuant to a shareholders' rights plan or a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 5.3(a) above) or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 45 calendar days of the date of issuance, shares of Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for the distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR<sub>1</sub> = CR<sub>0</sub> × <u>OS<sub>0</sub>+X</u> <br> OS<sub>0</sub>+Y

where

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR<sub>0</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such issuance; |
| CR<sub>1</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such issuance; |
| OS<sub>0</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such issuance; |
| X | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and |
| Y | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such issuance. |

---

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such issuance. If any rights or warrants described in this Section 5.3(c) are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights and warrants, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock of any class of share capital of the Company or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding (i) any dividends or distributions referred to in Section 5.3(a), (ii) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 5.3(c), (iii) any dividends or distributions referred to in Section 5.3(e), (iv) any dividends or distributions in connection with an Organic Change to which Section 5.3(e) applies, or (v) any Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 5.3(d) applies) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.3(d) called the "<u>Distributed Assets</u>"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR<sub>1</sub> = CR<sub>0</sub> × <u>SP<sub>0</sub></u> <br> SP<sub>0</sub> – FMV

where

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR<sub>0</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution; |
| CR<sub>1</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such distribution; |
| SP<sub>0</sub> | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock during 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 on the ex-dividend date for such distribution of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. |

---

In the event where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consisting of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a "<u>Spin-Off</u>") that are, or when issued, will be, traded or listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other U.S. national securities exchange or market, then the Conversion Rate shall instead be increased based on the following formula:

CR<sub>1</sub> = CR<sub>0</sub> × <u>FMV<sub>0</sub> + MP<sub>0</sub></u> <br> MP<sub>0</sub>

where

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR<sub>0</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution; |
| CR<sub>1</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such distribution; |
| FMV<sub>0</sub> | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Distributed Assets applicable to one share of Common Stock during the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on and including the effective date of the Spin-Off (the "<u>Spin-Off Valuation Period</u>"); and |
| MP<sub>0</sub> | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock during the Spin-Off Valuation Period. |

---

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur on the earlier of (x) the date that is immediately after the end of the Spin-Off Valuation Period or (y) the Conversion Date; *provided* that in the event of any conversion during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, references to "10" in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the effective date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.3(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision 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.

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's share capital (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("<u>Trigger Event</u>"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.3 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.3 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 5.3(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Note, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights 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 record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights. In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights 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 Section 5.3 was made, (A) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of its Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase and (B) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

No adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) in respect of rights or warrants distributed or deemed distributed on any Trigger Event to the extent that such rights or warrants are actually distributed to the Holder of this Note upon conversion by such Holder of this Note.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) In case the Company shall pay a dividend or otherwise distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock a dividend or other distribution of exclusively cash excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR<sub>1</sub> = CR<sub>0</sub> × <u>SP<sub>0</sub></u> <br> SP<sub>0</sub> – *DIV*

where

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR<sub>0</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; |
| CR<sub>1</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; |
| SP<sub>0</sub> | the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution; and |
| DIV | the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock. |

---

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(e) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.3(e) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) In case of purchases of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock, to the extent that the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of cash and any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as it may be amended) (the "<u>Expiration Date</u>"), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR<sub>1</sub> = CR<sub>0</sub> × <u>FMV + (SP<sub>1</sub> x OS<sub>1</sub>)</u> <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SP<sub>1</sub> x OS<sub>0</sub>

where

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| CR<sub>0</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date; |
| CR<sub>1</sub> | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date; |
| FMV | the fair market value, on the Expiration Date, of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for shares of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; |
| OS<sub>1</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the "<u>Expiration Time</u>"), after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer; |
| OS<sub>0</sub> | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time; and |
| SP<sub>1</sub> | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date. |

---

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3(f) shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date. If the Company, or one of its Subsidiaries, is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting all such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this Section 5.3(f) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 5.3(f).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In cases where the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of Distributed Assets and cash, including with respect to a Spin-Off, as to which Section 5.3(d) and Section 5.3(e) apply, applicable to one share of Common Stock, distributed to holders of the Common Stock equals or exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex- dividend date for such distribution, then, rather than being entitled to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate, Holder will be entitled to receive upon conversion of each $1,000 of Principal Amount in respect of this Note, in addition to the Conversion Shares, the kind and amount of assets, debt securities or rights, warrants or options comprising the distribution, if any, that Holder would have received if Holder had converted such $1,000 of Principal Amount in respect of this Note immediately prior to the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive the distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a)-(g) of this Section 5.3, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market and any other securities exchange on which any of the Company's securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company's best interest, and the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock or similar event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) All calculations under this Article V shall be made in good faith by the Company in accordance with this Article V, and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share of Common Stock, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or for any issuance of shares of Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities or, except as provided in this Section 5.3, rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities. The Company shall certify to Holder that all calculations are made in compliance with this Article V, and shall show Holder in detail the facts upon which such calculations and adjustments were made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) For purposes of this Section 5.3, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing clauses in this Section 5.3, the applicable Conversion Rate will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.3(k) in the event of a distribution that would otherwise give rise to adjustment pursuant to clause (d) or (e) of this Section 5.3, if (but only if) Holder otherwise participates in such distribution, at the same time such distribution is effected to holders of shares of Common Stock, on an as-converted basis (as if Holder had converted the Principal Amount at the then applicable Conversion Rate) but without the conversion of this Note actually taking place.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) <u>Organic Change</u>. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other transaction (other than a subdivision or combination solely of the Common Stock), which in each case is effected in such a manner that holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for or upon conversion of the Common Stock is referred to herein as an "<u>Organic Change</u>." In the event of an Organic Change prior to repayment in full of the Note, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) at the effective time of the Organic Change, the right to convert each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note will be changed into the right to convert such Principal Amount of this Note into the kind and amount of shares, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) or any combination thereof that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Organic Change would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Organic Change (the "<u>Reference Property</u>," with each "<u>unit of Reference Property</u>" meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Organic Change); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) at or prior to the effective time of such Organic Change, the Company or Successor Company, as the case may be, and any other issuer of securities constituting Reference Property shall execute and deliver to the Holder a supplement to this Note providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 Principal Amount of this Note.

The Company shall not become a party to any Organic Change unless the terms thereof are consistent with this <u>Section 5.3(1)</u>.

Such supplement described in the first paragraph of this <u>Section 5.3(1)</u> shall provide for anti- dilution and other adjustments, and covenants for protection of the interests of the Holders of this Note, in respect of the Reference Property (and, if the Reference Property represents underlying securities, such securities) that shall be as nearly equivalent as is practicable to the adjustments and covenants provided for in this <u>Article V</u> in respect of the Common Stock. If, in the case of any Organic Change, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the Company or Successor Company, as the case may be, then such supplement shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

When the Company executes and delivers such supplement to this Note pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder an officer's certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or assets that will comprise a unit of Reference Property (and, if the Reference Property represents underlying securities, such securities) after any such Organic Change, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent in this Note to such execution and delivery have been complied with.

None of the foregoing provisions shall affect (i) the right of the Holder of this Note to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount of this Note into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective time of such Organic Change, (ii) if such Organic Change constitutes a Change of Control, the rights of the Holder of this Note, at its option, to cause redemption of this Note upon the Change of Control Redemption Date in respect of such Change of Control in accordance with Article VI or (iii) regardless of whether such Organic Change constitutes a Change of Control, the right of the Holder of this Note to continue to hold this Note after consummation of such Organic Change and at any time thereafter prior to the payment of the Principal Amount of this Note in full, to convert this Note into Reference Property.

The above provisions of this <u>Section 5.3(1)</u> shall similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.

Notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions described in <u>Section 5.3(a)</u> through <u>(f),</u> no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to such provisions in the event of any dividend, distribution or issuance upon an Organic Change to which the provisions under this <u>Section 5.3(1)</u> apply.

Section 5.4 <u>Notices</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall send written notice thereof to the Holder of this Note, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.

Section 5.5 <u>Adjustments of Prices</u>. Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the Closing Sale Prices over a span of multiple days (including the Spin-Off Valuation Period and any other period for determining the Closing Sale Prices for purposes of adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.3), the Company shall make any adjustments to each that it reasonably determines to be appropriate to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate (or changes to the market price per share of Common Stock resulting from any such event) where the ex-dividend date, effective date or Expiration Time, as the case may be, of the event occurs at any time during the period when such Closing Sale Prices are to be calculated, without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 5.3. The Company will likewise make appropriate adjustments where a Conversion Rate adjustment otherwise required to be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.3(a) through (f) is not made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3(g) that permit participation by Holder in a distribution in lieu of such Conversion Rate adjustment.
