the execution of this Indenture, or from time to time thereafter, may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Notes to or upon the written order of the

(b) its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, its Controller or any Assistant Controller or its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, without any further action by the Company hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 2.02. Form of Notes. The Notes and the Trustee’s

 Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends and
endorsements as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any
rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage. 
  
 Any Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall
represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect transfers or exchanges permitted
hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon
instructions given by the holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on any Global Note shall be made to the holder of such Note. 
  
 The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A
hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be
bound thereby.

amount and integral multiples thereof. Every Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the applicable date in each case
as specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) 30-day months. 
  
 The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on
the Note Register at the close of business on any record date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date, except (i) that the interest payable upon redemption
(unless the date of redemption is an interest payment date) will be payable to the Person to whom principal is payable and (ii) as set forth in the next succeeding sentence. In the case of any Note (or portion thereof) that is converted into
Common Stock during the period from (but excluding) a record date to (but excluding) the next succeeding interest payment date either (x) if such Note (or portion thereof) has been called for redemption on a redemption date which occurs during
such period, or is to be redeemed in connection with a Fundamental Change on a Repurchase Date (as defined in Section 3.05) that occurs during such period, the Company shall not be required to pay interest on such interest payment date in
respect of any such Note (or portion thereof) except to the extent required to be paid upon redemption of such Note or portion thereof pursuant to Section 3.03 or 3.05 hereof or (y) if such Note (or portion thereof) has not been called for
redemption on a redemption date that occurs during such period and is not to be redeemed in connection with a Fundamental Change on a Repurchase Date that occurs during such period, such Note (or portion thereof) that is submitted for conversion
during such period shall be accompanied by funds equal to the interest payable on such succeeding interest payment date on the principal amount so converted, as provided in the penultimate paragraph of Section 15.02 hereof. Interest shall be
payable at the office of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee and may, as the Company shall specify to the paying agent in
writing by each record date, be paid either (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Note Register (provided that the holder of Notes with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2,000,000
shall, at the written election of such holder, be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds if such holder has provided the paying agent with the necessary wire transfer information no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the
date of payment) or (ii) by wire transfer to an account maintained by such Person located in the United States; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
the Depositary or its nominee . The term “record date” with respect to any interest payment date shall mean the February 1 or August 1 preceding the relevant February 15 or August 15, respectively. 
  
 Subject to the rules and regulations of the Depository, any interest on any
Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any February 15 or August 15 (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Noteholder on the relevant record date by
virtue of his having been such Noteholder, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: 
  
 (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes
(or their respective Predecessor Notes) 

  

 7 

 
are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest to be paid on each Note and the date of the payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless
the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt
by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Noteholder at his address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten (10) days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment
of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) were registered at the close of business on
such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03. 
  
 (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the
Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 2.04. Execution of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, any Vice President (whether or not designated by a number or numbers or word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”) or Treasurer and attested by the manual or
facsimile signature of its Secretary or any of its Assistant Secretaries or its Treasurer or any of its Assistant Treasurers (which may be printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise). Only such Notes as shall bear
thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, manually executed by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11),
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so
authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
  

 8 

 In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such officer
before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased
to be such officer of the Company, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this
Indenture any such person was not such an officer. 
  
 SECTION
2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary. 
  
 (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency
of the Company designated pursuant to Section 5.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars in accordance with Section 5.02. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the
requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture. 
  
 Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be
exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the
Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  
 All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Note
Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, and the Notes shall be duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

  

 9 

 No service charge shall be made to any holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but
the Company may require payment by the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes. 
  
 Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Note Registrar shall be required
to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Notes for a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any selection of Notes to be redeemed, (b) any Notes or portions thereof called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.02,
(c) any Notes or portions thereof surrendered for conversion pursuant to Article 15 or (d) any Notes or portions thereof tendered for redemption (and not withdrawn) pursuant to Section 3.05. 
  
 (b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the
Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, all Notes that, upon initial issuance are beneficially owned by QIBs or as a result of a sale or transfer after initial issuance are beneficially owned by QIBs, will be represented by one or more
Notes in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (the “Global Note”), except as otherwise specified below. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Note shall be
effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. The Trustee shall make appropriate endorsements to reflect increases or decreases in the principal amounts of any such Global Note as
set forth on the face of the Note (“Principal Amount”) to reflect any such transfers. Except as provided below, beneficial owners of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be
entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered holders of such Global Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for physical definitive Notes
(“Certificated Notes”) upon request but only upon at least 20 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary practice. 
  
 (c) (i) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the
Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, upon any transfer of a Certificated Note to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A that requests delivery of such Note in the form of an interest in the Global Note, and upon receipt of the Certificated
Note or Notes being so transferred, together with a certification, substantially in the form on the reverse of the Note, from the transferor that the transfer is being made in compliance with Rule 144A (or other evidence satisfactory to the
Trustee), the Trustee shall make an endorsement on the Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note, and the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Note or Notes in accordance with
the standing instructions and procedures of the Depositary, the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note to be increased accordingly. 
  
 (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Note to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (other than pursuant to a
registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or after the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act), the transferor shall, prior to such sale or
transfer, furnish to the Company and/or Trustee such certifications, legal opinions or other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that the 

  

 10 

 
proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon
any transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Note to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on the Global Note to reflect a decrease in the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes represented
by such Global Note, and the Company shall execute a Certificated Note or Notes in exchange therefor, and the Trustee, upon receipt of such Certificated Note or Notes and the written order of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such,
Certificated Note or Notes. 
  
 (iii) Upon any
sale or transfer of a Note to an Institutional Accredited Investor (other than pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or after the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof
under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act), such Institutional Accredited Investor shall, prior to such sale or transfer, furnish to the Company and/or the Trustee a signed letter containing representations and agreements relating to restrictions
on transfer substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture and the transferor shall, prior to such sale or transfer, furnish to the Company and/or Trustee such certifications, legal opinions or other information as they may
reasonably require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon any transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global
Note to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on the Global Note to reflect a decrease in the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note, and the Company shall execute a Certificated
Note or Notes in exchange therefor, and the Trustee, upon receipt of such Certificated Note or Notes and the written order of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such, Certificated Note or Notes. 
  
 (iv) Upon any sale or transfer of a Note outside the United
States in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or after the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act), the transferor shall, prior to such sale or transfer, furnish to the Company and/or the Trustee such certifications, legal opinions or other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that the
proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon any transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Note to such transferee, the Trustee
shall make an endorsement on the Global Note to reflect a decrease in the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note, and the Company shall either (1) execute a Certificated Note or Notes in exchange therefor, and
the Trustee, upon receipt of such Certificated Note or Notes and the written order of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such, Certificated Note or Notes or (2) if a Global Note with respect to Notes transferred in compliance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act has previously been executed and authenticated, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note to reflect a corresponding increase in the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes represented by such Global
Note. 
  

 11 

 (v) Upon any sale or transfer of a Note pursuant to the exemption from registration
provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the transferor shall, prior to such sale or transfer, furnish to the Company and/or the Trustee such certifications, legal opinions or other information as they may reasonably require to confirm that
the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon any transfer of a beneficial interest in the Global Note to such transferee, the Trustee
shall make an endorsement on the Global Note to reflect a decrease in the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note, and, at the request of the transferee, either (1) the Company shall execute a Certificated Note
or Notes in exchange therefor, and the Trustee, upon receipt of such Certificated Note or Notes and the written order of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such, Certificated Note or Notes or (2) if a Global Note that does not bear the
legend set forth in Section 2.05(d) has previously been executed and authenticated, the Trustee shall make an endorsement on such Global Note to reflect a corresponding increase in the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes represented by such
Global Note. 
  
 Any Global Note may be endorsed
with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
in order for the Notes to be tradeable on The Portal Market or as may be required for the Notes to be tradeable on any other market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or required to comply with any applicable law or any
regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or traded or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations
or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject. 
  
 (d)
Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(d) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(d) (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes and required to bear the legend set forth in
Section 2.05(e), collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(d) (including those set forth in the legend set forth below) unless such restrictions on
transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Company, and the holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Noteholder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in Section 2.05(d) and
2.05(e), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security. 
  
 Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any
certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(e), if applicable)
shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Note has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such
transfer), or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee: 
  

 12 

 THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS
ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT); (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT, PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO
SALES OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY OR THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF SUCH NOTE EXCEPT (A) TO LTX
CORPORATION OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR”
(AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) (“INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTOR”) WHICH, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHES TO U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS TRUSTEE (OR A SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS
APPLICABLE), A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY (THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM SUCH TRUSTEE OR A SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE),
(D) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (E) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE) OR (F) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER); (3) AGREES THAT PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (2)(F) ABOVE), IT
WILL FURNISH TO EACH OF LTX CORPORATION AND U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS TRUSTEE (OR A SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE), SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS
BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT; AND (4) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY IS TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN A
TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 2(E) OR (F) ABOVE) A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THE NOTE
EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), THE HOLDER MUST 

  

 13 

 
CHECK THE APPROPRIATE BOX SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF RELATING TO THE MANNER OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT THIS CERTIFICATE TO U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, AS TRUSTEE (OR A SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE). THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (2)(E) OR (F) ABOVE OR UPON ANY TRANSFER OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED
HEREBY UNDER RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION). AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 
  
 Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution
therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the
Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(d).

  
 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.05(b), Section 2.05(c), with respect to transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Note, and in this Section 2.05(d)), a Global Note may not be
transferred as a whole or in part except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or
a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 The
Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Notes in global form. Initially, the Global Note shall be issued to the
Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Custodian for Cede & Co. 
  
 If at any time the Depositary for a Global Note notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such
Note, the Company may appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Note. If a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after the Company receives such notice, the Company will execute, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of Notes, will authenticate and deliver, Notes in certificated form, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for
such Global Note. 
  
 If a Note in certificated
form is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Note after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any record date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next succeeding interest
payment date, interest will not be payable on such interest payment date in respect of such Certificated Note, but will be payable on such interest payment date, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03, only to the Person to whom interest in
respect of such portion of such Global Note is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  

 14 

 Notes in certificated form issued in exchange for all or a part of a Global Note pursuant
to this Section 2.05 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and
authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Notes in certificated form to the Persons in whose names such Notes in certificated form are so registered. 
  
 At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been redeemed, converted, canceled, exchanged for Notes in certificated form, or
transferred to a transferee who receives Notes in certificated form thereof, such Global Note shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the
Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, redeemed, converted, repurchased or canceled, or transferred to a transferee who receives Notes in certificated form
therefor or any Note in certificated form is exchanged or transferred for part of a Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the
Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase. 
  
 (e) Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof
under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Common Stock has been
sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Notes that have been
transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent: 
  
 THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED
STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH
IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. THE HOLDER HEREOF AGREES THAT, UNTIL THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION), (1) IT WILL
NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY EXCEPT (A) TO LTX CORPORATION OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT) IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A, (C) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) (“INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED
INVESTOR”) THAT PRIOR TO SUCH 

  

 15 

 
TRANSFER, FURNISHES TO EQUISERVE TRUST COMPANY, N.A., AS TRANSFER AGENT (OR A SUCCESSOR TRANSFER AGENT, AS APPLICABLE), A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN
REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY (THE FORM OF WHICH LETTER CAN BE OBTAINED FROM SUCH TRANSFER AGENT OR A SUCCESSOR TRANSFER AGENT, AS APPLICABLE), (D) OUTSIDE THE
UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (E) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), OR (F) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN
DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER); (2) PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (1)(F) ABOVE), IT WILL FURNISH TO EACH OF LTX CORPORATION
AND EQUISERVE TRUST COMPANY, N.A., AS TRANSFER AGENT (OR A SUCCESSOR TRANSFER AGENT, AS APPLICABLE), SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS IT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT; AND (3) IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY IS TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE
1(E) OR (F) ABOVE) A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (1)(E) OR (F) ABOVE OR UPON ANY TRANSFER OF
THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE HOLDING PERIOD APPLICABLE TO SALES OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY UNDER RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION). AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “UNITED
STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. 
  
 Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the
conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common
Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(e). 
  
 (f) Any Note or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that, prior to the expiration of the holding
period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), is purchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the
Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration 

  

 16 

 
requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction which results in such Notes or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted
securities” (as defined under Rule 144). 
  
 SECTION 2.06.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by
the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Note, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or
stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any
loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof. 
  
 Following receipt by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in the
preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and make available for delivery such Note. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Company may require the payment by the holder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption or
has been tendered for redemption (and not withdrawn) or is to be converted into Common Stock shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or
authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such
authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the
applicant shall also furnish to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any paying agent or conversion agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof. Every substitute Note
issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note
shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent
permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any
and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

  
 SECTION 2.07. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation
of Notes in certificated form, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent 

  

 17 

 
appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes
shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Notes in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company.
Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in certificated form.
Without unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Notes in certificated form (other than in the case of Notes in global form) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any such
Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for
such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 2.08. Cancellation of Notes Paid, etc. All Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, conversion, exchange or registration
of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent or any Note Registrar or any conversion agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and
no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the
Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. CUSIP Number. The Company in issuing the Notes may use a
“CUSIP” number (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use a “CUSIP” number in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not
be affected by any defect in or omission of such number. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” number. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 Redemption Of Notes 
  
 SECTION 3.01. Optional Redemption by the Company. At any time prior to maturity, the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company (a “Redemption”), in whole or in part, upon notice as set forth
in Section 3.02, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest, if any to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption
Date”): 
  

 18 

				
	 PERIOD

	  	REDEMPTION
PRICE

	 
	 On or prior to August 14, 2006
	  	100.85	%
	 Beginning on August 15, 2006 and thereafter
	  	104.75	%

  
 provided, however, that if the date
fixed for redemption is on a February 15 or August 15, then the interest payable on such date shall be paid to the holder of record on the preceding February 1 or August 1, respectively. 
  
 SECTION 3.02. Notice of Redemptions; Selection of Notes. In case the
Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than
forty-five (45) days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date fixed for redemption, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such
redemption not fewer than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of Notes so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at their last addresses as the same appear on the Note Register;
provided, however, that in the event of a Provisional Redemption, notice of such redemption shall be mailed within five Trading Days after the consecutive 30 Trading Day period, and provided further that if the Company shall give such notice, it
shall also give written notice, and written notice of the Notes to be redeemed, to the Trustee. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice if mailed 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 by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings
for the redemption of any other Note. Concurrently with the mailing of any such notice of redemption, the Company shall issue a press release announcing such redemption, the form and content of which press release shall be determined by the Company
in its sole discretion. The failure to issue any such press release or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the redemption notice or any of the proceedings for the redemption of any Note called for redemption. 
  
 Each such notice of redemption shall specify the aggregate principal amount
of Notes to be redeemed, the CUSIP number of the Notes being redeemed, the date fixed for redemption (which shall be a Business Day in accordance with Section 16.06), the redemption price at which Notes are to be redeemed, the place or places
of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion
thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. Such notice shall also state the current Conversion Price and the date on which the right to convert such Notes or portions thereof into Common Stock will expire. If fewer than all the Notes are to be
redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed and shall state that, on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. 
  

 19 

 On or prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this
Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.04) an amount of money in
immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for conversion into Common Stock) at the appropriate redemption price,
together with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that if such payment is made on the redemption date it must be received by the Trustee or paying agent, as the case may be, by 10:00 a.m. New York
City time on such date. The Company shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the redemption
price together with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If any Note called for redemption is converted pursuant hereto prior to such redemption, any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent or so segregated
and held in trust for the redemption of such Note shall be paid to the Company upon its written request, or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee
written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate not fewer than forty-five (45) days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the redemption date as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to
be redeemed. 
  
 If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to
be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method
the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of such Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion to
be selected for redemption. The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such Note is submitted for conversion in part before the mailing of the notice of
redemption. 
  
 Upon any redemption of less than all of the
outstanding Notes, the Company and the Trustee shall solely for purposes of determining the pro rata allocation among such Notes as are unconverted and outstanding at the time of redemption, treat as outstanding any Notes surrendered for conversion
during the period of fifteen (15) days next preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption and shall treat as outstanding any Note authenticated and delivered during such period in exchange for the unconverted portion of any Note converted in
part during such period. 
  
 SECTION 3.03. Payment of Notes
Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall, unless converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, become due
and payable on the date fixed for redemption and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue 

  

 20 

 
and, after the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the date fixed for redemption, such Notes shall cease to be convertible into Common Stock
and, except as provided in Section 8.05 and Section 13.04, to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the redemption
price thereof and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and
redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that if the applicable redemption date is an interest payment date, the
semi-annual payment of interest becoming due on such date shall be payable to the holders of such Notes registered as such on the relevant record date instead of the holders surrendering such Notes for redemption on such date. 
  
 Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so
presented. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall
not redeem any Notes or mail any notice of redemption during the continuance of a default in payment of interest or premium, if any, on the Notes. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
principal and premium, if any, shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate borne by the Note and such Note shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal and premium, if any
and interest shall have been paid or duly provided for. 
  
 SECTION 3.04. Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. In connection with any redemption of Notes, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Notes by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or
other purchasers to purchase such Notes by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Noteholders, on or before the date fixed for redemption, an amount not less than the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to (but excluding) the
date fixed for redemption, of such Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3, the obligation of the Company to pay the redemption price of such Notes, together with interest accrued to (but excluding) the date fixed
for redemption, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, a copy of which will be filed with the Trustee prior to the date fixed for redemption, any
Notes not duly surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such holders upon payment to such holders of the applicable
redemption price together with accrued interest (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 15) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for redemption
(and the right to convert any such Notes shall be extended through such time), subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. At the direction of the Company, the Trustee shall hold and dispose of any such amount paid to it in the same manner
as it would monies deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Notes. Without the Trustee’s prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the 

  

 21 

 
purchase and conversion of any Notes shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set
forth in this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 3.05. Redemption at Option
of Holders. 
  
 (a) If there shall occur a Fundamental Change
at any time prior to maturity of the Notes, then each Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem all of such holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000
principal amount, on the date (the “Repurchase Date”) that is thirty (30) days after the date of the Company Notice (as defined in Section 3.05(b) below) of such Fundamental Change (or, if such 30th day is not a Business Day, the
next succeeding Business Day) at a redemption price equal to (i) 100.85% of the principal amount thereof if the Repurchase Date occurs prior to August 15, 2006 and (ii) 104.75% of the principal amount thereof if the Repurchase Date
occurs on or after August 15, 2006, together in each such case with accrued interest to (but excluding) the Repurchase Date; provided, however, that, if such Repurchase Date is a February 15 or August 15, then the interest payable on
such date shall be paid to the holders of record of the Notes on the next preceding February 1 or August 1, respectively. 
  
 Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s written direction to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented. 
  
 (b) On or before the tenth day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change,
the Company or at its written request (which must be received by the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date the Trustee is requested to give notice as described below, unless the Trustee shall agree in writing to a shorter
period), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed to all holders of record on the date of the Fundamental Change a notice (the “Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental
Change and of the redemption right at the option of the holders arising as a result thereof. Such notice shall be mailed in the manner and with the effect set forth in the first paragraph of Section 3.02 (without regard for the time limits set
forth therein). If the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall also deliver a copy of the Company Notice to the Trustee at such time as it is mailed to Noteholders. Concurrently with the mailing of any Company Notice, the Company shall
issue a press release announcing such Fundamental Change referred to in the Company Notice, the form and content of which press release shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The failure to issue any such press release or any
defect therein shall not affect the validity of the Company Notice or any proceedings for the redemption of any Note which any Noteholder may elect to have the Company redeem as provided in this Section 3.05. 
  
 Each Company Notice shall specify the circumstances constituting the
Fundamental Change, the Repurchase Date, the price at which the Company shall be obligated to redeem Notes, that the holder must exercise the redemption right on or prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change
Expiration Time”), that the holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to the Fundamental Change 

  

 22 

 
Expiration Time, a description of the procedure which a Noteholder must follow to exercise such redemption right and to withdraw any surrendered Notes, the
place or places where the holder is to surrender such holder’s Notes, the amount of interest accrued on each Note to the Repurchase Date and the “CUSIP” number or numbers of the Notes (if then generally in use). No failure of the
Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Noteholders’ redemption rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.05. 
  
 (c) For a Note to be so redeemed at the option of the holder, the Company
must receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose or, at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, such Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment Upon A Fundamental Change” on the
reverse thereof duly completed, together with such Notes duly endorsed for transfer, on or before the Fundamental Change Expiration Time. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Note for
repayment shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) On or prior to the first Business Day after the Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if
the Company is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.04) an amount of money sufficient to redeem all the Notes to be redeemed on the Repurchase Date at the appropriate redemption price,
together with accrued interest to (but excluding) the Repurchase Date; provided, however, that the payment must be received by the Trustee or paying agent, as the case may be, by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the first Business Day after the
Repurchase Date. Payment for Notes surrendered for redemption (and not withdrawn) prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time will be made promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days) following the Repurchase Date by mailing
checks for the amount payable to the holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company. 
  
 (e) In the case of a reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 15.06 applies, in which the
Common Stock of the Company is changed or exchanged as a result into the right to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash), which includes shares of Common Stock of the Company or shares of common stock of another
Person that are, or upon issuance will be, traded on a United States national securities exchange or approved for trading on an established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States and such shares constitute at the time such
change or exchange becomes effective in excess of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of such stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) (as determined by the Company in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive and
binding), then the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets that is the issuer of such common stock, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture
(accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture complies with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) modifying the provisions of this Indenture relating to the right of
holders of the Notes to cause the Company to repurchase the Notes following a Fundamental Change, including without limitation the applicable provisions of this Section 3.05 and the 

  

 23 

 
definitions of Common Stock and Fundamental Change, as appropriate, as determined in good faith by the Company (which determination shall be conclusive and
binding), to make such provisions apply to such other Person if different from the Company and the common stock issued by such Person (in lieu of the Company and the Common Stock of the Company). 
  
 (f) The Company will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other
tender offer rules under the Exchange Act to the extent then applicable in connection with the redemption rights of the holders of Notes in the event of a Fundamental Change.

 Particular Covenants Of The Company 
  
 SECTION 5.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid
the principal of and premium, if any (including the redemption price upon redemption pursuant to Article 3), and interest, on each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes. 
  
 SECTION 5.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will
maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or for conversion or redemption and where notices and demands
to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by the
Trustee. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate
Trust Office or the office of agency of the Trustee in The Borough of Manhattan The City of New York (which shall initially be located at U.S. Bank National Association, 100 Wall Street, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10005). 
  
 The Company may also from time to time designate co-registrars and one or more offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
  
 The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as paying agent, Note
Registrar, Custodian and conversion agent and each of the Corporate Trust Office and the office of agency of the Trustee in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be located at U.S. Bank National Association, 100 Wall
Street, 16th Floor, New York, 

  

 24 

 
NY 10005), shall be considered as one such office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes. 
  
 So long as the Trustee is the Note Registrar, the Trustee agrees to mail, or
cause to be mailed, the notices set forth in Section 8.10(a) and the third paragraph of Section 8.11. If co-registrars have been appointed in accordance with this Section, the Trustee shall mail such notices only to the Company and the
holders of Notes it can identify from its records. 
  
 SECTION
5.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 8.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at
all times be a Trustee hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 5.04. Provisions
as to Paying Agent. 
  
 (a) If the Company shall appoint a
paying agent other than the Trustee, or if the Trustee shall appoint such a paying agent, the Company will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section 5.04: 
  
 (i)
that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Notes) in trust for the
benefit of the holders of the Notes; 
  
 (ii)
that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and 

 
 (iii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event
of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust. 
  
 The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, deposit with the paying
agent a sum (in funds which are immediately available on the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any
failure to take such action; provided, however, that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit shall be received by the paying agent by 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on such date. 
  
 (b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due and
will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor under the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes when the same shall
become due and payable.

 (c) Anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for
the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any paying agent hereunder as required by this Section 5.04, such
sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment by the Company or any paying agent to the Trustee, the Company or such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

no control of any funds held by such other paying agents. 
  
 SECTION 5.05. Existence. Subject to Article 12, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and rights (charter and statutory); provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Noteholders. 
  
 SECTION 5.06.
Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Significant Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied
with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in
the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Noteholders. 
  
 SECTION 5.07. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or
discharged, before the same may become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary, (ii) all claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien or charge upon the property of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary and (iii) all stamps and other duties, if any, which may be

(i) and (ii), the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (A) if the failure to do so will not, in the aggregate, 

  

 26 

 
have a material adverse impact on the Company, or (B) if the amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings. 
  
 SECTION 5.08. Rule 144A Information
Requirement. Within the period prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period
in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, make available to any holder or beneficial holder of Notes or any Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof which continue to be Restricted Securities in connection
with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of Notes or such Common Stock designated by such holder or beneficial holder, the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act upon the request of any holder or
beneficial holder of the Notes or such Common Stock and it will take such further action as any holder or beneficial holder of such Notes or such Common Stock may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder
or beneficial holder to sell its Notes or Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144A, as such Rule may be amended from time to time. Upon the request of any holder or any
beneficial holder of the Notes or such Common Stock, the Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
  
 SECTION 5.09. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the Company (to the extent it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 SECTION 5.10. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a certificate signed by either the
principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and the status thereof of
which the signer may have knowledge. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of (i) any default in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, or
(ii) any Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying with particularity such default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Company has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

to the Trustee, semiannually, not more than fifteen (15) days after each February 1 and August 1 in each year beginning with February 1, 2006, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within thirty
(30) days after receipt by the Company of any such request (or such lesser time as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to enable it to timely provide any notice to be provided by it hereunder), a list in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of the holders of Notes as of a date not more than fifteen (15) days (or such other date as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to so provide any such notices) prior to the time such
information is furnished, except that no such list need be furnished by the Company to the Trustee so long as the Trustee is acting as the sole Note Registrar. 
  

SECTION 6.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists. 
  
 (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Notes
contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 6.01 or maintained by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar or co-registrar in respect of the Notes, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it
as provided in Section 6.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 
  
 (b) The rights of Noteholders to communicate with other holders of Notes with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes, and the corresponding rights and duties of the Trustee, shall be as
provided by the Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 (c) Every Noteholder, by
receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of
holders of Notes made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 SECTION 6.03. Reports by Trustee. 
  
 (a) Within
sixty (60) days after May 15 of each year commencing with the year 2006, the Trustee shall transmit to holders of Notes such reports dated as of May 15 of the year in which such reports are made concerning the Trustee and its actions
under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. 
  
 (b) A copy of such report shall, at the time of such transmission to holders of Notes, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange and automated

 28 

 SECTION 6.04. Reports by Company. The Company shall file with the Trustee (and the Commission if
at any time after the Indenture becomes qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), and transmit to holders of Notes, such information, documents and other reports and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at
the times and in the manner provided pursuant to such Act, whether or not the Notes are governed by such Act; provided, however, that any such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within fifteen (15) days after the same is so required to be filed with the Commission. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes
only and the Trustee’s receipt of such 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). 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
  
 Remedies Of The
Trustee And Noteholders On An Event Of Default 
  
 SECTION
7.01. Events of Default. In case one or more of the following Events of Default (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) shall have occurred and be continuing: 
  
 (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such
default for a period of thirty (30) days, whether or not such payment is permitted under Article 4 hereof; or 
  
 (b) default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable either at
maturity or in connection with any redemption pursuant to Article 3, by acceleration or otherwise, whether or not such payment is permitted under Article 4 hereof; or 
  
 (c) failure on the part of the Company or any other obligor party to the Indenture pursuant to Section 15.06 duly to
observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company in the Notes or in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 7.01
specifically dealt with) continued for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or the Company and a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04; or 
  
 (d) the Company shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking
liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other
similar official of the Company 

  

 29 

 
or any substantial part of the property of the Company, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such
official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against the Company, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due; or 
  
 (e) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the
Company seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official of the Company or any substantial part of the property of the Company, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days;

  
 then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 7.01(d) or (e)), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding hereunder determined in accordance with Section 9.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders), may declare the principal of and premium, if any, on all the Notes and the interest
accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of
Default specified in Section 7.01(d) or (e) occurs, the principal of and premium, if any, on all the Notes and the interest accrued thereon shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action. This
provision, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or
entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all Notes and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Notes which shall have
become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes,
to the date of such payment or deposit) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.06, and if any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest on Notes
which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 7.07, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the
Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of
Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. The Company shall notify a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of any Event of Default. 
  
 In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall be

  

 30 

 
restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the holders of Notes, and the
Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 
  
 SECTION 7.02. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Notes as and when the same shall become due
and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Notes as and when the same shall have become due
and payable, whether at maturity of the Notes or in connection with any redemption, by or under this Indenture or by declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of
the Notes, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Notes for principal and premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, whether or not the Notes are overdue. 
  
 In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be
entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or
final decree against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

  
 In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy
or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other
obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims, and 

  

 31 

 
to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including counsel fees incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable
compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies,
securities and other property which the holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 
  
 All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under
any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, be for the ratable benefit
of the holders of the Notes. 
  
 In any proceedings brought by the
Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any
holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings. 
  
 SECTION
7.03. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies and properties collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such
monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid: 
  
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06; 
  
 SECOND: Subject to the provisions of Article 4, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and
be unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Notes in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of
interest at the rate borne by the Notes, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto; 
  
 THIRD: Subject to the provisions of Article 4, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be
unpaid to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by
the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole 

  

 32 

 
amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference or priority of principal
and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest; and 
  
 FOURTH:
Subject to the provisions of Article 4, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto. 
  
 SECTION 7.04. Proceedings by Noteholder. No holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture
to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of
every Note with every other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of any other holder of Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of
all holders of Notes (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 7.04, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any
provision of any Note, the right of any holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any (including the redemption price upon redemption pursuant to Article 3), and accrued interest on such Note, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Note or in the event of redemption, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of
such holder. 
  
 Anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the
contrary notwithstanding, the holder of any Note, without the consent of either the Trustee or the holder of any other Note, in its own behalf and for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce,
its rights of conversion as provided herein. 
  
 SECTION 7.05.
Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and 

  

 33 

 
enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either
by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to
enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
  
 SECTION 7.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 7 to the Trustee or to the Noteholders shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default or Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any
such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 7 or by law to the Trustee or to the
Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders. 
  
 SECTION 7.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Noteholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action which is not inconsistent with such direction and
(c) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would benefit some Noteholder to the detriment of other Noteholders or that involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at
the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of interest or
premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes, (ii) a failure by the Company to convert any Notes pursuant to Article 15, (iii) a default in the payment of redemption price pursuant to Article 3 or (iv) a default in respect of a
covenant or provisions hereof which under Article 11 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of each or all Notes then outstanding or affected thereby. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the
Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder
shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 7.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 SECTION 7.08. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within ninety (90) days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of the occurrence of a default, mail to all Noteholders, as the names
and addresses of such holders appear upon the Note Register, 

  

 34 

 
notice of all defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided,
however, that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders. 
  
 SECTION 7.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed
to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party
litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 7.09 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to
any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04, or to any suit instituted by any
Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with the
provisions of Article 15. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 The Trustee 
  
 SECTION 8.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee,
prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default
has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. 
  
 No
provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or
waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred: 
  
 (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act against the Trustee; and 
  

 35 

 (ii) in the absence of bad faith and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the
Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case
of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture; 
  
 (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 9.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

 (e) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment
(as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Company or any paying agent or any records maintained by any co-registrar with respect to the Notes; and 
  
 (f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of
which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred. 
  
 None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 SECTION 8.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01: 
  
 (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
  

 36 

 (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company;

consult with counsel of its own selection and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or
Opinion of Counsel; 
  
 (d) the Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; 
  
 (e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; and 
  
 (f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 8.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals
contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION
8.04. Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Registrar May Own Notes. The Trustee, any paying agent, any conversion agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent, conversion agent or Note Registrar. 
  
 SECTION 8.05. Monies to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.04 and Section 4.02, all monies and properties received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein
provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds 

  

 37 

 
except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed in
writing from time to time by the Company and the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 8.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in
any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to from time to time in writing between the Company and the Trustee, and the Company will pay or
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith. The Company also covenants to
indemnify the Trustee (or any officer, director or employee of the Trustee), in any capacity under this Indenture and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, claim or expense
incurred without negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or such officers, directors, employees and agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.06 to
compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Notes upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds
held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Notes. The obligation of the Company under this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
  
 When the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default
specified in Section 7.01(d) or (e) with respect to the Company occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. 

 
 SECTION 8.07. Officers’ Certificate as Evidence. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee may request the delivery of an Officers’ Certificate and such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be
deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 8.08. Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
  

 38 

 SECTION 8.09. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall
be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or if such Person is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000). If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 
  
 SECTION 8.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. 
  
 (a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and to the holders of Notes. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee meeting the requirements of Section 8.09 and having no conflicting interests within the meaning of Section 8.08 by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order
of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) days after
the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Noteholders, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten (10) business days’ notice to the Company and the Noteholders, appoint a successor identified in such notice or may petition, at the expense
of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or, if any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a
successor trustee. 
  
 (b) In case at any time any of the
following shall occur: 
  
 (i) the Trustee shall
fail to comply with Section 8.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months; or 
  
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Noteholder; or 
  
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; 
  
 then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which 

  

 39 

 
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, any
Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor trustee; provided, however, that if no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) days after either the Company or the Noteholders has removed the Trustee, the Trustee so
removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

  
 (c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless, within ten (10) days after notice to the Company of such nomination, the Company
objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Noteholder, or if such Trustee so removed or any Noteholder fails to act, the Company, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 8.10(a) provided, may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. 
  
 (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee as provided in Section 8.11. 
  
 SECTION 8.11.
Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant
to the provisions of Section 8.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any
and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected
by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06. 
  
 No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance,
such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 8.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09. 
  
 Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.11, the Company (or the former trustee, at the written direction
of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the holders of Notes at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the Company fails to mail such 

  

 40 

 
notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Company. 
  
 SECTION 8.12. Succession by Merger,
etc. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including any trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that in the case of any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 8.08
and eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09. 
  
 In
case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or any
authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that is provided in the Notes or in this Indenture;
provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation. 
  
 SECTION 8.13. Preferential Collection of
Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of the claims against the
Company (or any such other obligor). 
  
 SECTION 8.14.
Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that
affects the rights of the holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such
action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such
application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to
taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 
  

 41 

 ARTICLE IX 
  
 The Noteholders 
  
 SECTION 9.01. Action by Noteholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the holders of such
specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Noteholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the holders
of Notes voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Noteholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 10, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Noteholders.
Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining holders entitled to take such action.
The record date shall be not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action. 
  
 SECTION 9.02. Proof of Execution by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, 8.02 and 10.05, proof of the execution of any
instrument by a Noteholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes
shall be proved by the registry of such Notes or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. 
  
 The record of any Noteholders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 10.06. 
  
 SECTION 9.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent, any conversion agent and any Note Registrar may deem the
Person in whose name such Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon
made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any conversion agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid,
and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Note. 
  
 SECTION 9.04. Company-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have
concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes shall be disregarded and
deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; 

  

 42 

 
provided, however, that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other
action, only Notes which a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.04 if the pledgee shall establish
to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such
right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all
Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons, and, subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of
the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. 
  
 SECTION 9.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 9.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Note which is shown by the evidence to be included
in the Notes the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 9.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note.
Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of
whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 Meetings Of Noteholders 
  
 SECTION 10.01. Purpose of Meetings. A meeting of Noteholders may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 for any of the following purposes:

 SECTION 10.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any
time call a meeting of Noteholders to take any action specified in Section 10.01, to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Noteholders, setting forth the time and the place of such
meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting and the establishment of any record date pursuant to Section 9.01, shall be mailed to holders of Notes at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register.
Such notice shall also be mailed to the Company. Such notices shall be mailed not less than twenty (20) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date fixed for the meeting. 
  
 Any meeting of Noteholders shall be valid without notice if the holders of all Notes then outstanding are present in person
or by proxy or if notice is waived before or after the meeting by the holders of all Notes outstanding, and if the Company and the Trustee are either present by duly authorized representatives or have, before or after the meeting, waived notice.

  
 SECTION 10.03. Call of Meetings by Company or
Noteholders. In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, or the holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to
call a meeting of Noteholders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of such meeting within twenty (20) days after receipt of such
request, then the Company or such Noteholders may determine the time and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 10.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section 10.02.

  
 SECTION 10.04. Qualifications for Voting. To be
entitled to vote at any meeting of Noteholders a person shall (a) be a holder of one or more Notes on the record date pertaining to such meeting or (b) be a person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by a holder of one or more

the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel. 
  
 SECTION 10.05. Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Noteholders, in regard to proof

concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit. 
  
 The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Noteholders as provided in Section 10.03, in which case the Company or the
Noteholders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and 

  

 44 

 
a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote at the meeting. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of
Section 9.04, at any meeting each Noteholder or proxyholder shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect
of any Note challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Notes held by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly
designating him as the proxy to vote on behalf of other Noteholders. Any meeting of Noteholders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02 or 10.03 may be adjourned from time to time by the holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes represented at the meeting, whether or not constituting a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. 
  

SECTION 10.06. Voting. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Noteholders shall be by written ballot on which shall be
subscribed the signatures of the holders of Notes or of their representatives by proxy and the outstanding principal amount of the Notes held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who
shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the
proceedings of each meeting of Noteholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more
persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 10.02. The record shall show the principal amount of the Notes voting in favor of or against
any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee,
the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. 
  
 Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 
  
 SECTION 10.07. No Delay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason
of any call of a meeting of Noteholders or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Noteholders under
any of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes.

 45 

 
may, from time to time, and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes: 
  
 (a) to make provision with respect to the conversion rights of the holders of
Notes pursuant to the requirements of Section 15.06 and the redemption obligations of the Company pursuant to the requirements of Section 3.05(e);

 (d) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions as the Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to

or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction or condition, such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace
after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default; 
  
 (e) to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Notes in coupon form
(including Notes registrable as to principal only) and to provide for exchangeability of such Notes with the Notes issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose; 
  
 (f) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained
herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture
that shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Notes; 
  
 (g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes; or 
  
 (h) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualifications of this Indenture
under the Trust Indenture Act, or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted. 
  
 Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary authorizing the execution of any supplemental indenture,
the Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer 

  

 46 

 
and assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  
 Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.02. 
  
 SECTION 11.02. Supplemental Indenture with Consent of Noteholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 9) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding,
the Company, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the
fixed maturity of any Note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof or premium, if any, thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or impair the right of any
Noteholder to institute suit for the payment thereof, or make the principal thereof or interest or premium, if any, thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Notes, or change the obligation of the Company to redeem any
Note upon the happening of a Fundamental Change in a manner adverse to the holder of Notes, or impair the right to convert the Notes pursuant to the terms set forth herein, including Section 15.06, in each case, without the consent of the
holder of each Note so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Notes then outstanding. 
  
 Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the
resolutions of the Board of Directors certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Noteholders as aforesaid, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in
its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. 
  
 SECTION 11.03. Effect of
Supplemental Indenture. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11 shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect, provided that this Section 11.03 shall not require such supplemental
indenture or the Trustee to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act prior to the time such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall
it constitute any admission or acknowledgment by any party to such supplemental indenture that any such qualification is required prior to the time such 

  

 47 

 
qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Notes shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of
any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. 
  
 SECTION 11.04. Notation on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 11 may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee
and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly
appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 16.11) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then outstanding. 
  
 SECTION 11.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished to Trustee. Prior to entering into
any supplemental indenture, the Trustee may request an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and complies
with the requirements of Indenture, including this Article 11. 
  
 ARTICLE XII 
  
 Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Conveyance
And Lease 
  
 SECTION 12.01. Company May Consolidate, etc.
on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.02, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person or Persons (whether or not
affiliated with the Company), or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance or lease (or successive sales, conveyances or leases) of all
or substantially all of the property of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company), authorized to acquire and operate the same and that shall be organized under
the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on all of the Notes, according to their tenor and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental
indenture satisfactory in form to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the Person that shall have acquired
or leased such property, and such supplemental indenture shall provide for 

  

 48 

 
the applicable conversion rights set forth in Section 15.06. No such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease shall be permitted that is not in
compliance with this Section 12.01. 
  
 SECTION 12.02.
Successor Corporation to Be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form
to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company,
such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of this first part. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own
name or in the name of LTX Corporation any or all of the Notes, issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person instead of the Company and
subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the
officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal
rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 12 may (except in the
case of any lease or in the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance to a Subsidiary of the Company) be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and
maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture. 
  
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
  
 SECTION 12.03. Opinion of Counsel to Be Given Trustee. The Trustee
shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article 12. 
  
 ARTICLE XIII 
  
 Satisfaction And Discharge Of Indenture 
  
 SECTION 13.01. Discharge of Indenture. When (a) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all
Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (b) all the
Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and 

  

 49 

 
payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption of all of the Notes (other than any Notes that shall have been mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and
interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, accompanied by a verification report, as to the sufficiency of the deposited amount, from an independent certified accountant or other financial
professional satisfactory to the Trustee, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to (i) rights of registration of
transfer, substitution and exchange and conversion of Notes, (ii) rights hereunder of Noteholders to receive payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Noteholders,
as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee and (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on written demand of the Company accompanied by an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 16.05 and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture; the Company, however,
hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with
this Indenture or the Notes. 
  
 SECTION 13.02. Deposited
Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 13.04, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01, shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Noteholders, and such monies shall be applied by the
Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any paying agent (other than the Company), to the holders of the particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to
become due thereon for principal and interest and premium, if any. 
  
 SECTION 13.03. Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies then held by any paying agent of the Notes (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. 
  
 SECTION 13.04. Return of Unclaimed Monies. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee for
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the holders of Notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, as the case may
be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and the holder of any of the Notes shall thereafter look only to the
Company for any payment that such holder may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. 
  

 50 

 SECTION 13.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the paying agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with Section 13.02 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 this Indenture and the Notes shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 13.01 until such time as the Trustee or the paying agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 13.02; provided, however, that if the
Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee
or paying agent. 
  
 ARTICLE XIV 
  
 Immunity Of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers And Directors

  
 SECTION 14.01. Indenture and Notes Solely Corporate
Obligations. To the extent permitted by law, no recourse for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee,
agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and
the issue of the Notes. 
  
 ARTICLE XV 
  
 Conversion Of Notes 
  
 SECTION 15.01. Right to Convert. Subject to and upon compliance with
the provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Article 4, the holder of any Note shall have the right, at its option, at any time after the original issuance of the Notes hereunder through the close of business on the final
maturity date of the Notes (except that, with respect to any Note or portion of a Note that shall be called for redemption, such right shall terminate, except as provided in Section 15.02, Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, at the close of
business on the Business Day next preceding the date fixed for redemption of such Note or portion of a Note unless the Company shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof) to convert the principal amount of any such Note, or any portion of
such principal amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as such shares shall then be constituted) obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Note or
portion thereof surrendered for conversion by the Conversion Price in effect at such time, by surrender of the Note so to be converted in whole or in part in the manner provided, together with any required funds, in Section 15.02. A Note in
respect of which a holder is exercising its option to require redemption upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 3.05 may be converted only 

  

 51 

 
if such holder withdraws its election to exercise in accordance with Section 3.05. A holder of Notes is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common
Stock until such holder has converted his Notes to Common Stock, and only to the extent such Notes are deemed to have been converted to Common Stock under this Article 15. 
  
 SECTION 15.02. Exercise of Conversion Privilege; Issuance of Common Stock on Conversion; No Adjustment for Interest or
Dividends. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Note in certificated form, the holder of any such Note to be converted in whole or in part shall surrender such Note, duly endorsed, at an office or agency maintained
by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the penultimate paragraph of this Section 15.02, and shall give written notice of conversion in the form provided on the Notes (or such other notice
which is acceptable to the Company) to the office or agency that the holder elects to convert such Note or the portion thereof specified in said notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer taxes, if required pursuant to Section 15.07. Each such Note surrendered for conversion
shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Note, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the holder or
his duly authorized attorney. 
  
 In order to exercise the
conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Note, the beneficial holder must complete, or cause to be completed, the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program,
deliver, or cause to be delivered, by book-entry delivery an interest in such Global Note, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or conversion agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by
this Section 15.02 and any transfer taxes if required pursuant to Section 15.07. 
  
 As promptly as practicable after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in a name
other than that of the Noteholder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Note or Notes (or portion thereof) so converted), the Company shall issue and shall deliver to such Noteholder at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such
purpose pursuant to Section 5.02, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Note or portion thereof as determined by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 15 and a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion, calculated by the Company as provided in Section 15.03. In case any Note of a denomination greater than
$1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, and subject to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to him, a new Note or Notes in
authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note. 
  
 Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Note (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in
this Section 15.02 have been satisfied as to such Note (or portion thereof), and the Person in whose name any certificate 

  

 52 

 
or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the
shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof
for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which such Note shall be surrendered. 
  
 No adjustment in respect of interest on any Note converted or dividends on
any shares issued upon conversion of such Note will be made upon any conversion except as set forth in the next sentence and except as provided with respect to Additional Payments pursuant to Section 3.01(a). If a Note (or portion thereof) is
surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any record date for the payment of interest to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the following interest payment date and (x) has not been called for
redemption on a redemption date that occurs during such period and (y) is not to be redeemed in connection with a Fundamental Change on a Repurchase Date that occurs during such period, such Note (or portion thereof being converted) must be
accompanied by an amount, in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, equal to the interest payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being converted; provided, however, that no such payment shall
be required if there shall exist at the time of conversion a default in the payment of interest on the Notes. 
  
 Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee (or other conversion agent appointed by the Company), or the Custodian at the direction
of the Trustee (or other conversion agent appointed by the Company), shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of
Notes effected through any conversion agent other than the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 15.03. Cash Payment in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for
conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby)
so surrendered. If any fractional share of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Note or Notes, the Company shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash at the current market price thereof to the holder of Notes. The current
market price of a share of Common Stock shall be the Closing Price on the last Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the Notes (or specified portions thereof) are deemed to have been converted. 
  
 SECTION 15.04. Conversion Price. The conversion price shall be as
specified in the form of Note (herein called the “Conversion Price”) attached as Exhibit A hereto, subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 15. 
  
 SECTION 15.05. Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the
Company as follows: 
  

 53 

 (a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the
outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purpose of this paragraph (a), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares 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. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall
again be adjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
  
 (b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring
within forty-five (45) days after the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (as
defined below) on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date
fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price, and the denominator
of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchase. Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price 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 the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle
the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by
the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion 

  

 54 

 
thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. 
  
 (c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately
increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. 
  
 (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all
holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 15.05(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any
rights or warrants referred to in Section 15.05(b), and excluding any dividend or other distribution referred to in Section 15.05(e) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 15.05(d) called the “Securities”)), then,
in each such case (unless the Company elects to reserve such Securities for distribution to the Noteholders upon the conversion of the Notes so that any such holder converting Notes will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of
Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, the amount and kind of such Securities which such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Notes into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in
Section 15.05(h)(iv) for such distribution of the Securities)), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date with respect to such
distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be
conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record Date of the portion of the Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share
of the Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the
Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each
Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Securities such holder would have received had such holder converted each Note immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so
paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution
for purposes of this Section 15.05(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the
Common Stock. 
  

 55 

 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 capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):
(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 15.05 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 15.05 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 Price shall be made under this Section 15.05(b) or Section 15.05(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date
of this Indenture, 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 (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). 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 Price under this Section 15.05 was made, (1) 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 Price 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 Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in
the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. 
  
 No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to this
Section 15.05(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, or reserved by the Company for distribution to holders of Notes upon
conversion by such holders of Notes to Common Stock and will not expire prior to the maturity of the Notes. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 15.05(d) and Section 15.05(a) and (b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.05(d) is
applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or
shares of capital stock without regard to such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 15.05(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately
followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Section 15.05(a) and (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall
then be made), except (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled 

  

 56 

 
to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 15.05(a) and (b), and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the
close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 15.05(a). 
  
 (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding (x) any quarterly cash
dividend on the Common Stock to the extent the aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any fiscal quarter does not exceed the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding quarterly cash dividend on the
Common Stock to the extent that such preceding quarterly dividend did not require any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 15.05(e) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions, or combinations of the Common Stock), and
(B) 3.75% of the arithmetic average of the Closing Price (determined as set forth in Section 15.05(h)) during the ten Trading Days (as defined in Section 15.05(h)) immediately prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, and
(y) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary), then, in such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on
such Record Date less the amount of cash so distributed (and not excluded as provided above) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock, such reduction to be effective
immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such Record Date; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market
Price of the Common Stock on such Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such holder would have received had such
holder converted each Note immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared. If any adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 15.05(e) as a result of a distribution that is a quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the amount by which
such distribution exceeds the amount of the quarterly cash dividend permitted to be excluded pursuant hereto. If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 15.05(e) above as a result of a distribution that is not a
quarterly dividend, such adjustment shall be based upon the full amount of the distribution. 
  
 (f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall
require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of
Directors) that as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next
succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price 

  

 57 

 
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator of which
shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares
validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business
on the Trading Day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company, or any such Subsidiary, as
the case may be, is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or
exchange offer had not been made. 
  
 (g) In case of a tender or
exchange offer made by a Person other than the Company or any Subsidiary for an amount that increases the offeror’s ownership of Common Stock to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock outstanding and shall involve the
payment by such Person of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that
as of the last time (the “Offer Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) that exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next
succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, and in which, as of the Offer Expiration Time the Board of Directors is not recommending rejection of the offer, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Expiration Time by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Offer
Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the
aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the
shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Accepted Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Accepted Purchased Shares) at the Offer
Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Trading Day following the Offer
Expiration Time. In the event that such Person is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but such Person is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are
rescinded, the 

  

 58 

 
Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment described in this Section 15.05(g) shall not be made if, as of the Offer Expiration Time, the offering documents with respect to such offer disclose a plan or intention to cause the Company to
engage in any transaction described in Article 12. 
  
 (h) For
purposes of this Section 15.05, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated: 
  
 (i) “Closing Price” with respect to any security on any day shall mean the closing sale price, regular way, on such day or, in
case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in each case as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or, if such security is not quoted or listed or admitted to trading on such Nasdaq
National Market, on the principal national securities exchange or quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of such security on the over-the-counter market on the day in question as reported by the National Quotation Bureau
Incorporated, or a similar generally accepted reporting service, or if not so available, in such manner as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors for that purpose, or a price
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a duly authorized committee thereof, whose determination shall be conclusive. 
  
 (ii) “Current Market Price” shall mean the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common
Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question except as hereinafter provided for purposes of any computation under Section 15.05(f) or (g); provided, however, that (1) if the “ex” date (as
hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and other than the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation under Section 15.05(f) or (g)) that requires an adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to Section 15.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (2) if the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation and other than the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation under Section 15.05(f) or (g)) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 15.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e),
(f) or (g) occurs on or after the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other
event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, and (3) if the “ex” date for the issuance or
distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such
“ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors or, to the extent permitted by 

  

 59 

 
applicable law, a duly authorized committee thereof in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section 15.05(d),
(f) or (g), whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors or such duly authorized committee thereof, as the case may be) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or
assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date. For purposes of any computation under Section 15.05(f) or (g), the “Current Market Price” of the
Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for such day and the next two succeeding Trading Days; provided, however, that if the “ex” date for any event (other than the
tender or exchange offer requiring such computation under Section 15.05(f) or (g)) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 15.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) occurs on or after the Expiration
Time or Offer Expiration Time, as the case may be, for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall
be adjusted as provided in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of the proviso contained in the first sentence of this Section 15.05(h)(ii). For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, (1) when used with respect to any
issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades, regular way, on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution,
(2) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades, regular way, on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective, and (3) when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades, regular way, on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time or the Offer
Expiration Time of such offer. 
  
 (iii)
“fair market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction. 
  
 (iv) “Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of
Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise). 
  
 (v) “Trading Day” shall mean (x) if the applicable security is quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market, a day on which trades may be made thereon or (y) if the applicable security is listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange, a day on which the New York Stock Exchange or such
other national securities exchange is open for business or (z) if the applicable security is not so listed, admitted for trading or quoted, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York
are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 
  

 60 

 (i) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by
Section 15.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or
distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. 
  
 To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the
period is at least twenty (20) days, the reduction is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such reduction would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be
conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to holders of record of the Notes a notice of the reduction at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the reduced Conversion
Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect. 
  
 (j) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent
(1%) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 15.05(j) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this
Article 15 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for
reinvestment of dividends or interest. Interest will not accrue on the cash. 
  
 (k) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any conversion agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the
Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Price and may assume that the last Conversion Price of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such
adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to the holder of each Note at his last
address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, within twenty (20) days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

  
 (l) In any case in which this Section 15.05 provides that
an adjustment shall become effective immediately after (1) a record date or Record Date for an event, (2) the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive a dividend or distribution pursuant to
Section 15.05(a), (3) a date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights or warrants pursuant to Section 15.05(b), (4) the Expiration Time for any tender or exchange offer pursuant to
Section 15.05(f), or (5) the Offer Expiration Time for a tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 15.05(g) (each a “Determination Date”), the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the relevant Adjustment
Event (as hereinafter defined) (x)

  

 61 

 
issuing to the holder of any Note converted after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the additional shares of Common
Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such
holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 15.03. For purposes of this Section 15.05(l), the term “Adjustment Event” shall mean: 
  
 (a) in any case referred to in clause (1) hereof, the occurrence of such event, 
  
 (b) in any case referred to in clause (2) hereof, the
date any such dividend or distribution is paid or made, 
  
 (c) in any case referred to in clause (3) hereof, the date of distribution of such rights or warrants, and 
  
 (d) in any case referred to in clause (4) or clause (5) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of Common Stock pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable. 
  
 (m) For purposes of this Section 15.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued
in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. 
  
 SECTION 15.06. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the following events occur,
namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination to which Section 15.05(c) applies), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another
Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all
or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other
property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then 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 that such Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash)
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Notes (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of
authorized shares of Common Stock are available to convert all such Notes) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise his rights of
election, if any, as to the kind or amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such 

  

 62 

 
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of stock, other securities or other
property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been
exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purposes of this Section 15.06 the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, combination, sale or conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall
be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 15. 
  
 The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each holder of Notes, at its address appearing on the Note
Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, within twenty (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 Section shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. 
  
 If this Section 15.06 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 15.05 shall not apply. 
  
 SECTION 15.07. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Notes shall be made without charge to the converting
Noteholder for any tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the holder
of any Note converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. 
  
 SECTION 15.08. Reservation of Shares; Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall reserve and provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion. 
  
 Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the
Conversion Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price. 
  
 The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Notes will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof. 
  

 63 

 The Company further covenants that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on the Nasdaq
National Market or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed
on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes; provided, however, that, if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Company to defer the listing of such Common Stock
until the first conversion of the Notes into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the requirements of such exchange
or automated quotation system at such time. 
  
 SECTION 15.09.
Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other conversion agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Notes to determine the Conversion Price or whether any facts exist which may require any
adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the
same. The Trustee and any other conversion agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered
upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other conversion agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or
deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained
in this Article 15. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into
pursuant to Section 15.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 15.06 or
to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’
Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. 
  
 SECTION 15.10. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case: 
  
 (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in
the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 15.05; or 
  
 (b)
the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or 
  
 (c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock of the
Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a 

  

 64 

 
change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party
and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or 
  
 (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company; 
  
 the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be
mailed to each holder of Notes at his address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be
entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and
the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

 SECTION 16.06. Legal Holidays. In any case in which the date of maturity of interest on or principal of the Notes or the date fixed for redemption
of any Note will not be a Business Day, then payment of such interest on or principal of the Notes need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity
or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such date. 
  
 SECTION 16.07. Trust Indenture Act. This Indenture is hereby made subject to, and shall be governed by, the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that this Section 16.07 shall not require this Indenture or the Trustee to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act 

  

 66 

 
prior to the time such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act, nor shall it constitute any admission or acknowledgment
by any party to the Indenture that any such qualification is required prior to the time such qualification is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision
hereof which is required to be included in an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control. 
  
 SECTION 16.08. No Security Interest Created. Nothing in this Indenture or the Notes, expressed or implied, shall be construed to constitute a
security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as now or hereafter enacted and in effect, in any jurisdiction in which property of the Company and its Subsidiaries is located, other than the security interest granted to
the Trustee in Section 8.06. 
  
 SECTION 16.09. Benefits
of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any paying agent, any authenticating agent, any Note Registrar and their successors hereunder, the holders of
Notes, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 16.10. Table of Contents, Headings, etc. The table of contents and the titles and headings of the articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to
be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof. 
  
 SECTION 16.11. Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent that shall be authorized to act on its behalf, and subject to
its direction, in the authentication and delivery of Notes in connection with the original issuance thereof and transfers and exchanges of Notes hereunder, including under Section 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 3.03 and 3.05, as fully to all intents
and purposes as though the authenticating agent had been expressly authorized by this Indenture and those Sections to authenticate and deliver Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating
agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or
in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 8.09. 
  
 Any corporation into which any authenticating agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 16.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation. 
  
 Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the 

  

 67 

 
agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee shall either promptly appoint a successor authenticating agent or itself assume the duties and
obligations of the former authenticating agent under this Indenture and, upon such appointment of a successor authenticating agent, if made, shall give written notice of such appointment of a successor authenticating agent to the Company and shall
mail notice of such appointment of a successor authenticating agent to all holders of Notes as the names and addresses of such holders appear on the Note Register. 
  
 The Company agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time such reasonable compensation for its services as
shall be agreed upon in writing between the Company and the authenticating agent. 
  
 The provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 9.03 and this Section 16.11 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent. 
  
 SECTION 16.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 
  
 SECTION 16.13. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then (to the
extent permitted by law) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 REVERSE OF NOTE 
  

LTX CORPORATION 
  
 4 1/4% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2007 
  
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 4 1/4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2007 (herein called the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of
$88,300,000 all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 14, 2005 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the
“Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the
holders of the Notes. 
  
 In case an Event of Default (as defined
in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes may be declared by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. 
  
 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any
manner the rights of the holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal
amount thereof or premium, if any, thereon, or reduce any amount payable upon redemption thereof, or impair the right of any Noteholder to institute suit for the payment thereof, or make the principal thereof or interest or premium, if any, thereon
payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Notes, or change the obligation of the Company to redeem any Note upon the happening of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) in a manner adverse to the holder of the
Notes, or impair the right to convert the Notes pursuant to the terms set forth in the Indenture, including Section 15.06 thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Note so affected or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Notes then outstanding. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except a default in the payment of interest or any premium on, or the principal
of, any of the Notes, or a failure by the Company to convert any Notes pursuant to Article 15 of the Indenture, or a default in the payment of the redemption price pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture, or a default in respect of a covenant or
provisions of the Indenture which under Article 11 of the Indenture cannot be modified without the consent of the holders of each or all Notes then outstanding or affected thereby. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note (unless
revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future 

  

 A-6 

 
holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is
made upon this Note or such other Notes. 
  
 No reference herein
to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the place, at the
respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed. 
  
 Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000. At the
office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Notes, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations. 
  
 At any time prior to maturity, the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice as set forth in Section 3.02 of the Indenture, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest, if any to,
but excluding, the date fixed for redemption: 
  

				
	 PERIOD

	  	REDEMPTION
PRICE

	 
	 On or prior to August 14, 2006
	  	100.85	%
	 Beginning on August 15, 2006 and thereafter
	  	104.75	%

  
 provided, however, that if the date
fixed for redemption is on a February 15 or August 15, then the interest payable on such date shall be paid to the holder of record on the preceding February 1 or August 1, respectively. 
  
 The Company may not give notice of any redemption of the Notes if a default
in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on the Notes has occurred and is continuing. 
  
 The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund. 
  
 If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to maturity of the Notes, the Notes will be redeemable on the 30th day after notice thereof (the
“Repurchase Date”) at the option of the holder of the Notes at a redemption price equal to (i) 100.85% of the principal amount thereof if the Repurchase Date occurs prior to August 15, 2006 and (ii) 104.75% of the principal
amount thereof if the Repurchase Date occurs on or after August 15, 2006, together in each such case with accrued interest to (but excluding) the Repurchase Date; provided, however, 

  

 A-7 

 
that, if such Repurchase Date is a February 15 or August 15, the interest payable on such date shall be paid to the holder of record of the Notes
on the preceding February 1 or August 1, respectively. The Notes will be redeemable in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The Company shall mail to all holders of record of the Notes a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change
and of the redemption right arising as a result thereof on or before the 10th day after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change. For a Note to be so redeemed at the option of the holder, the Company must receive at the office or agency of the
Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, such Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment Upon a Fundamental Change” on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with such Note, duly
endorsed for transfer, on or before the 30th day after the date of such notice of a Fundamental Change (or if such 30th day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day). 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holder hereof has the right,
at its option, at any time after the original issuance of any Notes through the close of business on the final maturity date of the Notes, or, as to all or any portion hereof called for redemption, prior to the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption (unless the Company shall default in payment due upon redemption thereof), to convert the principal hereof or any portion of such principal which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof into that
number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as such shares shall be constituted at the date of conversion) obtained by dividing the principal amount of this Note or portion thereof to be converted by the Conversion Price of $29.04, as may
adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Note, together with a conversion notice as provided in the Indenture (the form entitled “Conversion Notice” on the reverse hereof), to the Company at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, and, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name
as this Note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the holder or by his duly authorized attorney. No adjustment in respect of interest on any Note converted or dividends on
any shares issued upon conversion of such Note will be made upon any conversion except as set forth in the next sentence and with respect to Additional Payments as specified above. If this Note (or portion hereof) is surrendered for conversion
during the period from the close of business on any record date for the payment of interest to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the following interest payment date and (x) has not been called for redemption on a redemption
date that occurs during such period and (y) is not to be redeemed in connection with a Fundamental Change on a Repurchase Date that occurs during such period, this Note (or portion hereof being converted) must be accompanied by an amount, in
New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, equal to the interest payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being converted; provided, however, that no such payment shall be required if there shall
exist at the time of conversion a default in the payment of interest on the Notes. No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction
of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Note or Notes for conversion. A Note in respect of which a holder is exercising its right to require redemption upon a Fundamental Change may be converted only if such holder
withdraws its election to exercise such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Any Notes called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof on or 

  

 A-8 

 
before the close of business on the Business Day preceding the date fixed for redemption, may be deemed to be purchased from the holders of such Notes for an
amount equal to the applicable redemption price, together with accrued but unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, by one or more investment banks or other purchasers who may agree with the Company (i) to purchase such
Notes from the holders thereof and convert them into shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) to make payment for such Notes as aforesaid to the Trustee in trust for the holders. 
  
 Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office
or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof; subject
to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 
  
 The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any paying agent, any conversion agent and any Note Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder
hereof as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving
payment hereof, or on account hereof, for the conversion hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any other authenticating agent nor any paying agent nor any other conversion agent nor any Note Registrar shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, satisfy and discharge liability for monies payable on this Note. 
  
 To the extent permitted by law, no recourse for the payment of the principal
of or any premium or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any
Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. 
  
 This Note shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

  
 Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 In connection with our proposed purchase of 4 1/4 % Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the “Notes”) of LTX Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
(the “Company”), we confirm that: 
  
 (i) we are an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an entity in which all of the equity owners are
accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”); 
  
 (ii) (A) any purchase of Notes by us will be for our own account or for the account of one or more other
Institutional Accredited Investors or as fiduciary for the account of one or more trusts, each of which is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(7) under the Securities Act and for each of which we exercise sole
investment discretion or (B) we are a “bank,” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or a “savings and loan association” or other institution described in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities
Act that is acquiring Notes as fiduciary for the account of one or more institutions for which we exercise sole investment discretion; 
  
 (iii) we have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that we are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
purchasing Notes; and 
  
 (iv) we are not
acquiring Notes with a view to distribution thereof or with any present intention of offering or selling Notes or the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof, except as permitted below; provided that the disposition of our
property and property of any accounts for which we are acting as fiduciary shall remain at all times within our control. 
  
 We understand that the Notes are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act and
that the Notes and the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act, and we agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of each account for which we acquire any Notes, that if in the
future we decide to resell or otherwise transfer such Notes or the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof, such Notes or Common Stock of the Company may be resold or otherwise transferred only (i) to the Company or any
subsidiary thereof, (ii) inside the United States to a person who is a “qualified institutional

an Institutional Accredited Investor which, prior to such transfer, furnishes to the Trustee for the Notes (or in the case of Common Stock of the Company, the transfer agent therefor) a signed letter containing certain representations and agreements
relating to the restrictions on transfer of such securities (the form of which letter can be obtained from the Trustee or the transfer agent, as the case may be), (iv) outside the United States in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule
904 under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if applicable), or (vi) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities
Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer), and in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities law of any state of the United States and in accordance with the legends set forth on the Notes or the Common
Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof. We further agree to provide any person purchasing any of the Notes or the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion thereof (other than pursuant to clause (v) or (vi) above)
from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of such securities are restricted as stated herein. We understand that the Trustee and transfer agent for the Notes and the Common Stock of the Company will not be required to accept for
registration of transfer any Notes or any Common Stock of the Company issued upon conversion of the Notes, except upon presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Company that the foregoing restrictions on transfer have been complied with. We
further understand that any Notes and any Common Stock of the Company issued upon conversion of the Notes will be in the form of definitive physical certificates and that such certificates will bear a legend reflecting the substance of this
paragraph other than certificates transferred pursuant to (v) or (vi) above.
