witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 
  
 (c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Register. 
  

 8 

 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of
any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done
by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
  
 (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at
its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no
obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such
record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it
shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
  
 THE SECURITIES 
  
 Section 2.1 Form and Dating.
The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1 and A-2, which are a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rule or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement required by usage is in a form acceptable to the Company). The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
  
 (a) 144A
Global Securities. Securities offered and sold within the United States to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A (“QIBs”) in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued, initially in the form of a 144A Global Security, which
shall be deposited with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or the nominee thereof (such depositary, or any successor thereto, and
any such nominee being hereinafter referred to as the “Depositary”), duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the 144A Global Securities may from time to time
be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary as hereinafter provided. 
  
 (b) Global Securities in General. Each Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and each
shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and 

  

 9 

 
that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges,
redemptions and conversions. 
  
 Any adjustment of the aggregate
principal amount of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required
by Section 2.12 hereof and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary. 
  
 (c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(c) shall apply only to Global Securities deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. 
  
 The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(c), authenticate and deliver initially
one or more Global Securities that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary, (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions and (c) shall bear legends substantially to the
following effect: 
  
 “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE
HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS TO NOMINEES OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY OR
TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE II OF THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE
HEREOF.” 
  
 (d) Certificated Securities. Securities
not issued as interests in the Global Securities will be issued in certificated form substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. 
  
 Section 2.2 Execution and Authentication. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer. The signature of the officer on
the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 
  
 Securities bearing
the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of the execution of the Securities the proper Officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication of such Securities. 
  

 10 

 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities for original issue in an aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of up to $265,212,000 upon one or
more Company Orders without any further action by the Company. The aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed the amount set forth in the foregoing sentence, except as provided in Section 2.7.

  
 The Securities shall be issued only in registered form without
coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 of Principal Amount at Maturity and any integral multiple thereof. 
  
 Section 2.3 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for purchase or payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion
(“Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion
agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent, including any named pursuant to Section 4.5. The term Conversion Agent includes any additional conversion agent, including any named pursuant to Section 4.5. 
  
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, or co-Registrar (in each case, if such person is a person other than the Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the
Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The
Company or any Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar. The Conversion Agent may not be an Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof. 
  
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Conversion Agent and
Paying Agent in connection with the Securities. The Trustee may resign from any or all of such appointments upon 30 days’ written notice to the Company. 
  
 Section 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money and Securities in Trust. Except as otherwise provided herein, on or prior to each due date of payments in
respect of any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) or Common Stock sufficient to make such payments when so becoming due. The Company shall require
each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money and Common Stock held by the Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of
the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, the Paying Agent 

  

 11 

 
shall, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money and Common Stock so held in trust. If the Company, a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of either of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and Common Stock held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money and Common Stock
held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds and Common Stock disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money or Common Stock. 
  
 Section 2.5 Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the
most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least semiannually on May 1 and November 1 a listing of Securityholders
dated within 15 days of the date on which the list is furnished and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
Securityholders. 
  
 Section 2.6 Transfer and Exchange. (a)
Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, (a) upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Securityholder or such Securityholder’s attorney
duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of the Company designated as Registrar or co-registrar pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity. The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Securityholder requesting such transfer or exchange.

  
 At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for
other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by the Securityholder or such Securityholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion
thereof not to be redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of
Securities to be purchased in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global
Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.12 and this 

  

 12 

 
Section 2.6(b). Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, or in part, to nominees of the Depositary or
to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee. 
  
 (c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the register for the Securities. 
  
 (d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall provide to
the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities. 
  
 (e) No Registrar shall be required to make registrations of transfer or exchange of Securities during any periods designated
in the text of the Securities or in this Indenture as periods during which such registration of transfers and exchanges need not be made. 
  
 (f) If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set
forth on the form of Security attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A- 2 setting forth such restrictions (collectively, the “Legend”), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Security, the Securities so issued shall bear the
Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an Opinion of Counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the
Registrar, that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Securities are not
“restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a
registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend. If the Legend is removed from the face of a Security
and the Security is subsequently held by an Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be reinstated. 
  
 (g) Upon any sale or transfer of a Security to an Institutional Accredited Investor (other than pursuant to a registration statement that has been
declared effective 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-2 to this Indenture. 
  
 Section 2.7 Replacement Securities. If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new
Security of like tenor and Principal Amount at Maturity, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  

 13 

 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and
payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article III hereof, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or purchase such Security, as the case may be. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section, the Company may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
  
 Section 2.8 Outstanding Securities; Determinations of Holders’ Action. Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those paid pursuant to Section 2.7
delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security; provided, however, that in determining whether
the Holders of the requisite Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be
considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles VI and IX). 
  
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced
Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
  
 If the Paying Agent
holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date, or on the Business Day following the Purchase Date or a Change in Control Purchase Date, or on Stated Maturity, money or securities, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay Securities
payable on that date, then immediately after such Redemption Date, Purchase Date, Change in Control Purchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and Issue Discount and interest, if any, on such
Securities shall cease to accrete; provided, that if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made. 
  

 14 

 If a Security is converted in accordance with Article X, then from and after the time of conversion on
the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and Issue Discount and interest, if any, shall cease to accrete or accrue on such Security. 
  
 Section 2.9 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 
  
 If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive
Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the
Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like Principal Amount at Maturity of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

  
 Section 2.10 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered
for payment, purchase by the Company pursuant to Article III, conversion, redemption or registration of transfer or exchange (other than Securities exchanged pursuant to Section 10.2) shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee, be
delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant
to Article X. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of
by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedure. 
  
 Section 2.11 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of the Security or the payment of any Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price in respect thereof, and interest
thereon, for the purpose of conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

  
 Section 2.12 Global Securities. (a) Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, (A) transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.6 and Section 2.12(a)(i), (B) transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Security for
a Certificated Security shall comply with Section 2.6 and 

  

 15 

 
Section 2.12(a)(ii) below, and (C) transfers of a Certificated Security shall comply with Section 2.6 and Section 2.12(a)(iii) and (iv) below. 
  
 (i) Transfer of Global Security. A Global Security
may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any
transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been
registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this Section 2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.12(a).

  
 (ii) Restrictions on Transfer of a
Beneficial Interest in a Global Security for a Certificated Security. A beneficial interest in a Global Security may not be exchanged for a Certificated Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security in accordance with Applicable Procedures for a Certificated Security in the form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 
  
 (A) so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities,
certification in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1; 
  
 (B) written instructions to the Trustee from the Company to make, or direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect a decrease in the aggregate Principal Amount at
Maturity of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such decrease; and 
  
 (C) if the Company or Registrar so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory
to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend, then the Trustee shall cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the
Registrar, the aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities represented by the Global Security to be decreased by the aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Certificated Security to be issued, shall issue such Certificated Security
and shall debit or cause to be debited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the Principal Amount at Maturity of the Certificated Security so issued. 
  
 (iii) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated
Securities. When Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder to the Registrar with a request: 
  
 (y) to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities; or 
  
 (z) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal Principal Amount at Maturity of Certificated
Securities of other authorized denominations, 
  

 16 

 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such
transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange: 
  

	 	(1)	shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing; and 

  

	 	(2)	so long as such Securities are Restricted Securities, such Securities are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or
pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: 

  
 (A) if such Certificated Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without
transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or 
  
 (B) if such Certificated Securities are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or 
  
 (C) if such Certificated Securities are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration (i) a certification to that effect
(in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1, if applicable) and (ii) if the Company or Registrar so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend.

  
 (iv) Restrictions on Transfer of a
Certificated Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Certificated Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Security, duly endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 
  
 (I) so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities, certification, in the form set forth in Exhibit B-1, that such Certificated Security is being
transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A; and 
  
 (II)
written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the
Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with 

  

 17 

 
such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Security and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing
instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the
Certificated Security to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the Principal Amount at Maturity of the Certificated
Security so cancelled. If no Global Securities are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Security in the appropriate
Principal Amount at Maturity. 
  
 (b) Subject to the succeeding
paragraph, every Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend including the delivery of an opinion of counsel, if so provided. Whenever any Restricted Security is presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B-1, dated the date of such surrender and signed by the
Holder of such Security, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

  
 (c) The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the
transferability of any Security shall cease and terminate when such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor
provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). Any Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have
expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Security for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer
have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision, by an opinion of counsel having substantial experience in practice under the Securities Act and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, addressed
to the Company and in form acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of such Security has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate Principal
Amount at Maturity, which shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned opinion of counsel or registration statement. 
  
 (d) As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 2.12, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or
other disposition of any Security. 
  

 18 

 (e) The provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

  

	 	(1)	Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, except as provided in Section 2.12(a)(ii), a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for
a Security registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof, provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of any Person designated by the Depositary in the
event that (i) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or such Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a
successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole
and not in part, and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (ii) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall
be a Global Security; provided that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security. 

  

	 	(2)	Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate
Principal Amount at Maturity equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable
legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so
surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the Principal Amount at Maturity thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or
an authorized representative thereof. 

  

	 	(3)	 Subject to the provisions of clause (5) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined
below) and persons that may hold

Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify 

  

 20 

 
the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities to be redeemed and the Redemption Price. 
  
 The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section
3.1 by a Company Order, at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). 
  
 Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, unless the procedures of the Depositary
provide otherwise (in which case the Securities shall be redeemed by lot), the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis (so long as such method is not prohibited by the rules of any stock exchange on which the
Securities are then listed). The Trustee shall make the selection at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions
of the Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. 
  
 Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in Principal Amounts at Maturity of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption
also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed. 
  
 If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect
to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may
be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
  
 Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption. At least 20 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed. 
  
 The notice shall identify the
Securities to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number(s)) and shall state: 
  

	 	(1)	the Redemption Date; 

  

	 	(2)	the Redemption Price; 

  

	 	(3)	the Conversion Rate; 

  

	 	(4)	the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent; 

  

	 	(5)	that Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time before the close of business on the date that is two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date;

  

	 	(6)	that Holders who want to convert Securities must satisfy the requirements set forth in paragraph 8 of the Securities; 

  

 21 

	 	(7)	whether the Company will deliver cash or Common Stock in the event a Holder converts Securities called for redemption and, in the event that the company elects to deliver cash, the
date on which the Cash Settlement Averaging Period shall commence; 

  

	 	(8)	that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price; 

  

	 	(9)	if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers, if any, and Principal Amounts at Maturity of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

  

	 	(10)	that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Redemption Price, Issue Discount on Securities called for redemption will cease to accrete on and after the Redemption
Date; and 

  

	 	(11)	the CUSIP number of the Securities. 

  
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, provided that
the Company makes such request at least three Business Days prior to the date by which such notice of redemption must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 3.3. 
  
 Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given, Securities called for redemption
become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice except for Securities which are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be
paid at the Redemption Price stated in the notice. 
  
 Section 3.5
Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City Time), on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is the Paying Agent, shall
segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which on or prior thereto have been delivered by the
Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable return to the Company any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Securities pursuant to Article X. If such money
is then held by the Company in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust. 
  
 Section 3.6 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Security in an authorized denomination equal in Principal Amount at Maturity to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2004) an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers 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 status thereof
of which they may have knowledge. 
  
 Section 4.4 Further
Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

  
 Section 4.5 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The
Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be
surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, purchase, redemption or conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The office of the Trustee c/o Computershare
Trust Company of New York, Attention: Mary Ann Louisi, 88 Pine Street, New York, New York 10005, shall initially be such office or agency for all of the aforesaid purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location,
and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency (other than a change in the location of the office of 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 address of the Trustee set forth in Section 11.2. 
  
 The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in
the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, for such purposes. 
  
 Section 4.6 Delivery of Certain Information. At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder or any beneficial owner of Securities or holder or beneficial owner of
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder or any beneficial owner of Securities or holder or beneficial owner of shares
of Common Stock, or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance 

  

 31 

 
by any such holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of any such security. “Rule 144A Information” shall be
such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Whether a person is a beneficial owner shall be determined by the Company to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction. 
  
 Section 4.7 Tax Treatment of Securities. The Company agrees, and by
acceptance of a beneficial ownership interest in the Securities each Holder of Securities will be deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) to treat the Securities as indebtedness that is subject to United States
Treasury regulation section 1.1275-4 (the “Contingent Payment Debt Regulations”) and, for purposes of the Contingent Payment Debt Regulations, to treat the Fair Market Value of any stock beneficially received by a Holder upon any
conversion of the Securities as a contingent payment and (ii) to be bound by the Company’s determination of the comparable yield and projected payment schedule, within the meaning of the Contingent Payment Debt Regulations, with respect to the
Securities. A Holder of Securities may obtain the Issue Price, Issue Date, amount of original issue discount, yield to maturity, comparable yield and projected payment schedule by submitting a written request to the Company at the following address:

 SUCCESSOR CORPORATION 
  
 Section 5.1 When Company May
Merge or Transfer Assets. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into any other person or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, unless: 
  
 (a) either (1) the Company shall be the continuing corporation or (2) the
person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety (i) shall be
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to
the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture; 
  
 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and 
  
 (c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture shall comply with this Article V and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such
transaction have been satisfied. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such transaction complies with this Article V. 
  
 For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or
otherwise) of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries (other than to the Company or 

  

 32

shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. 
  
 The successor person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the successor person to which such conveyance, transfer or lease
is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a
lease and obligations the Company may have under a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 10.4, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities. Subject to Section 9.6, the Company, the
Trustee and the successor person shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such successor person and such discharge and release of the Company. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 Section 6.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if: 
  
 (1) the Company defaults in the payment of the Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount, Redemption Price,
Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price on any Security when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration, when due for purchase by the Company or otherwise; 
  
 (2) default in the payment of any contingent interest,
additional amounts or, if the Securities have been converted to semiannual coupon notes as provided in paragraph 1 of the Securities, accrued and unpaid interest, in each case, when due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30
days; 
  
 (3) the Company fails to comply with
any of its agreements in the Securities or this Indenture (other than those referred to in clause (1) or (2) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default; 
  
 (4) the Company defaults under any indebtedness for money
borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is an insured bank Subsidiary or any Subsidiary with assets that exceed 10% of the Company’s consolidated assets, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of which is in an amount in
excess of $25.0 million, for a period of 30 days after the receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default, which default (i) is caused by the Company’s failure to pay when due principal or interest on such indebtedness by the end of the
applicable grace period, if any, unless such indebtedness is discharged or (ii) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness because of a default with respect to such indebtedness without such indebtedness having been discharged or such
non-payment or acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled; 
  
 (5) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the 

  

 33 

 
Company or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed
and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 
  
 (6) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or
consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property or make any general assignment for the
benefit of creditors. 
  
 A Default under clause (3) or (4) above
is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company
does not cure such Default (and such Default is not waived) within the time specified in clause (3) or (4) above after actual receipt of such notice. Any such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is
a “Notice of Default.” 
  
 The Company shall deliver to
the Trustee, within 30 days after it becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under clauses (3) or (4) above, its status and
what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any such Event of Default until it has received the aforementioned notice from the Company. 
  
 Section 6.2 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.1(5) or (6)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by Notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding by notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may declare the Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount through the date of declaration plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (including contingent interest and additional amounts) on all the Securities to be immediately
due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, (including contingent interest and additional amounts) shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.1(5) or (6) occurs and is continuing, the Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, (including contingent interest and additional amounts) on all the Securities shall become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding, by notice to the
Trustee (and without notice to any other Securityholder) may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except
nonpayment of the Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount that have become due solely as a result of acceleration and if all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7 have been paid. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or
impair any right consequent thereto. 
  
 If the Securities have,
at the Company’s option, been converted to semiannual coupon Securities as provided in paragraph 1 of the Securities, the amount due upon any 

  

 34 

 
acceleration will be the restated principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 
  
 Section 6.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess
any of the Securities or does not produce any of the Securities in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 
  
 Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding,
by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Securityholder), may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (1) an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(1), (2) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2
cannot be amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected or (3) a Default which constitutes a failure to convert any Security in accordance with the terms of Article X. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. This Section 6.4 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)1(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)1(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

  
 Section 6.5 Control by Majority. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in
personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it. This Section 6.5 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)1(A) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)1(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

  
 Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits. A Securityholder may
not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless: 
  
 (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing; 
  
 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal
Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

  

 35 

 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of security or indemnity; and 
  
 (5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

  
 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the
rights of any other Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Securityholder. 
  
 Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment
of the Principal Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price or interest, if any, in respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in the Securities or any Redemption Date, and to convert the Securities in accordance with Article X, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, shall not be
impaired or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the
whole amount owing with respect to the Securities and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7. 
  
 Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding
relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the Principal Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accreted Issue
Discount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price or interest, if any, in respect of the Securities 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 on the Company for the payment of any such amount) shall be entitled and empowered (but shall have no duty), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Principal Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accreted Issue
Discount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price, or interest, if any, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel or any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  
 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. 
  

 36 

 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding. 
  
 Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee
collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
  
 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7; 
  
 SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for the Principal Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount,
Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price or interest, if any, as the case may be, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the Securities; and 
  
 THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company. 
  
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. 
  
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 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, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the
Securities at the time outstanding. This Section 6.11 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. 
  
 Section 6.12 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now
or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the Principal Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in Control
Purchase Price in respect of Securities, or any interest on such amounts, as contemplated herein, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not 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 7.1 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested

costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
  
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the
Company and the Holders agree that the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee. 
  
 The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(4), the expenses including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel, are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy
Law. 
  
 Section 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee
may resign by so notifying the Company; provided, however, no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Trustee has 

  

 41 

 
accepted its appointment pursuant to this Section 7.8. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time
outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if: 
  

	 	(1)	the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

  

	 	(2)	the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 

  

	 	(3)	a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 

  

	 	(4)	the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

  
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint, by resolution of
its Board of Directors, a successor Trustee. 
  
 A successor
Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company satisfactory in form and substance to the retiring Trustee and the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7. 
  
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 Section 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
  
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Sections
310(a)(1) and 310(b). The Trustee (or its parent holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the
Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b). 
  
 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
  
 Section 8.1 Discharge of Liability on Securities. When (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities
replaced pursuant to Section 2.7) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable and the Company deposits with the Trustee cash sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Securities (other than
Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.7), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 7.7, cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall join in the
execution of a document prepared by the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.

  
 Section 8.2 Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and
the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money or securities held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law.
After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person and the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have
no further liability to the Securityholders with respect to such money or securities for that period commencing after the return thereof. 
  
 ARTICLE IX 
  
 AMENDMENTS 
  
 Section 9.1 Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any Securityholder, so long as such changes, other than those in clause (2), do not materially and
adversely affect the interests of any Securityholder: 
  
 (1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency provided that such modification or amendment does not, in the good faith opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Trustee, adversely affect the interests of the
holders of the Securities in any material respect; 
  
 (2) to comply with Article V; 
  
 (3) to
secure the Company’s obligations under the Securities and this Indenture; 
  
 (4) to add to the Company’s covenants for the benefit of the Securityholders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the
Company; or 
  
 (5) to make any change necessary
for the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or to comply with the TIA, or any amendment thereto, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA provided that such
modification or amendment does not, in the good faith 

  

 43 

 
opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Trustee, adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities in any material respect.

  
 Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders. With the written
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities. However, without the consent of each
Securityholder affected, an amendment to this Indenture or the Securities may not: 
  
 (1) make any change in the manner or rate of accretion in connection with Issue Discount, reduce the rate of interest (including
contingent interest) referred to in paragraph 1 of the Securities, or extend the time for payment of Issue Discount on any Security; 
  
 (2) reduce the Principal Amount at Maturity or the Issue Price of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Security; 
  
 (3) reduce the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in
Control Purchase Price of any Security; 
  
 (4)
make any Security or interest thereon payable in money or securities other than that stated in the Security; 
  
 (5) make any change in Section 6.4, Section 6.7 or this Section 9.2, except to increase any percentage set forth therein; 
  
 (6) make any change that adversely affects the right to
convert any Security; or 
  
 (7) make any change
that adversely affects the right to require the Company to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
  
 After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice briefly describing the amendment. 
  
 Section 9.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall comply with the TIA.

  
 Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and
Actions. Until an amendment, waiver or other action by Holders becomes effective, a consent thereto by a Holder of a Security hereunder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security
that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to
such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation 

  

 44 

 
before the date the amendment, waiver or action becomes effective. After an amendment, waiver or action becomes effective, it shall bind every
Securityholder. 
  
 Section 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of
Securities. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and shall if required by the Company, bear a notation in form approved by the Company as to any matter provided
for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company
and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Securities. 
  
 Section 9.6 Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. The Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment contained therein does not adversely affect the
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such supplemental indenture. In signing any supplemental indenture the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to the provisions of Section 7.1)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
  
 Section 9.7 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article
IX, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall
be bound thereby. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
  
 CONVERSIONS 
  
 Section 10.1 Conversion Privilege. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article X, at the
option of the Holder, any Securities or any portion of the Principal Amount at Maturity thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the Principal Amount at Maturity thereof, or of such portion thereof, into duly authorized,
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of conversion: 
  
 (1) during any fiscal quarter, if the Closing Price of the Common Stock for a period of at least 20 Trading Days in the period of 30
consecutive Trading Days ending on the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter is more than 120% of the Accreted Conversion Price on that 30th Trading Day; 
  
 (2) during the five Business Day period following any 10 consecutive Trading Day period in which the average of the Trading Prices for the Securities for that 10 Trading-Day period was less than 98% of the Average
Conversion Value of the Securities during that period; provided, however, that after March 23, 2019, if on the date of any conversion pursuant to this Section 10.1(a)(2) and the Securities are not otherwise convertible, the Closing Price of
the Common Stock is between the Accreted Conversion Price and 120% of the Accreted Conversion Price, then the Company may satisfy its Conversion Obligation, at its option, in cash or in shares of Common Stock with a value 

  

 45 

 
equal to the Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount to such date (any Common Stock so utilized to satisfy such conversion pursuant to this proviso shall be
valued at 100% of the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 Trading Days beginning on the third Trading Day following the Conversion Date); 
  
 (3) during any period commencing after the 30th day following the original issuance of the Securities in which (i) the credit rating assigned to the Securities by either Moody’s or Standard &
Poor’s is lower than Ba3 or BB-, respectively, (ii) the credit rating assigned to the Securities is suspended or withdrawn by either such rating agency or (iii) neither such rating agency continues to rate the Securities or provide ratings
services coverage to the Company; 
  
 (4) if the
Company has called the Securities for redemption; or 
  
 (5) upon the occurrence of the corporate transactions specified in clause (b) of this Section 10.1. 
  
 The Conversion Agent shall, on behalf of the Company, determine on a daily basis whether the Securities shall be convertible as a result of the occurrence
of an event specified in clause (1) above and, if the Securities shall be so convertible, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee written notice thereof. Whenever the Securities shall become convertible pursuant to Section 10.1, the
Company or, at the Company’s written request, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of the event triggering such convertibility in the manner provided in Section 11.2, and the
Company shall also publicly announce such information and publish it on the Company’s web site. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to an event specified in clause (2) above, the Conversion Agent shall have no obligation to determine the trading
price of the Securities unless the Company has requested that it make such determination and the Company has no obligation to make such request unless so requested by a Holder. At such time as a written request is made by a Holder, the Company shall
instruct the Conversion Agent to determine the Trading Price per Security beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per Security is greater than or equal to 98% of the Average Conversion Value for
10 consecutive Trading Days. 
  
 Any notice so given shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Except as expressly set forth in this paragraph, the Trustee (in any of its capacities hereunder) shall have no duty to determine the convertibility of
any of the Securities. 
  
 (b) In addition, in the event that:

  
 (1) (A) the Company makes a distribution
described in Section 10.3(c), (B) the Company makes a distribution described in Section 10.3(d) and the Fair Market Value per share of such distribution exceeds 5% of the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately
preceding the date of declaration of such distribution, or (C) a Change in Control occurs but Holders of Securities do not have the right to require the Company to purchase their Securities as a result of such Change in Control because either (i)
the Closing Price of the Common Stock for specified periods 

  

 46 

 
(as described in the definition of Change in Control) exceeds specified levels (as described in the definition of Change in Control) or (ii) the
consideration received in such Change in Control consists of Capital Stock that is freely tradeable and the Securities become convertible into that Capital Stock as specified in the definition of Change in Control, then, in each case, the Securities
may be surrendered for conversion at any time on and after the date that the Company gives notice to the Holders of such right, which shall be not less than 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Time for such distribution, in the case of (A) or (B), or
within 15 Business Days after the occurrence of the Change in Control, in the case of (C), until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Time or the date the Company announces that such
distribution will not take place, in the case of (A) or (B), or the earlier of 35 Business Days after the Company’s delivery of the notice of the Change in Control or the date the Company announces that the Change of Control will not take
place, in the case of (C), or 
  
 (2) the Company
consolidates with or merges into another corporation, or is a party to a binding share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property as set forth in Section 10.4 hereof, then the
Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the date announced by the Company as the anticipated effective time of such transaction until 15 days after the actual date of such
transaction. 
  
 The “Conversion Rate” means the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security per $1,000 of Principal Amount at Maturity thereof, which shall be as set forth initially in paragraph 8 of the Securities, subject to adjustment as herein set forth. The Company shall
provide the Trustee and the Conversion Agent with the initial Conversion Rate and shall notify each of them of any change in the Conversion Rate, in writing, on or before the date such new Conversion Rate becomes effective. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Securities or this Indenture, all
Holders’ rights with respect to conversion of the Securities and the Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon such conversion (the “Conversion Obligation”), are subject, in their entirety, to the Company’s
right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect to satisfy such Conversion Obligation in any manner permitted pursuant to Section 10.10. 
  
 Section 10.2 Conversion Procedure; Conversion Rate; Fractional Shares. (a) Each Security shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent
into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security per $1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity thereof shall be equal to
the Conversion Rate. No payment or adjustment shall be made in respect of dividends on the Common Stock or accreted Issue Discount on a converted Security, except as described in Section 10.9 hereof. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a
share of Common Stock in connection with any conversion of Securities, but instead shall, subject to Section 10.3(h) hereof, make a cash payment (calculated to the nearest cent) equal to such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common
Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the date of conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice or a Change in Control Purchase Notice exercising such Holder’s option to
require the Company to repurchase such Securities may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof. 
  

 47 

 (b) Before any Holder of a Securities shall be entitled to convert the same into Common Stock, such
Holder shall, in the case of Global Securities, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time, and in the case of Certificated Securities, surrender such Securities, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank, at the office of
the Conversion Agent, and shall give written notice to the Company at said office or place that such Holder elects to convert the same and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Securities to be converted and the name or names (with
addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be issued. 
  
 Before any such conversion, a Holder also shall pay all funds required, if any, relating to interest on the Securities, as provided in Section 10.9, and
all taxes or duties, if any, as provided in Section 10.8. 
  
 If
more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the total Principal Amount at Maturity
of the Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at said office or place to such Holder
of a Securities, or to such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share to which such Holder
would otherwise be entitled. The Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock while the stock transfer books for such stock or the security register are duly closed for any purpose, but certificates for shares of
Common Stock shall be issued and delivered as soon as practicable after the opening of such books or security register. 
  
 (c) A Security shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of such Securities for conversion as
provided above, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record Holder or Holders of such Common Stock as of the close of business on such date. 

 
 (d) In case any Securities shall be surrendered for partial conversion,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Securities so surrendered, without charge to such Holder (subject to the provisions of Section 10.8 hereof), new Securities in
authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Securities. 
  
 Section 10.3 Adjustments of Conversion Rate for Common Stock. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

  
 (a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make
a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction: 
  
 (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as
defined in Section 10.3(g)) 

  

 48 

 
fixed for such determination plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution; and 
  
 (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date. 
  
 Such
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.3(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate
shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
  
 (b) In case the outstanding Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case the outstanding Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, 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. 
  
 (c) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.3(d)) to all holders of its
outstanding Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as defined in Section
10.3(g)) on the Record Date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect
at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction: 
  
 (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date, plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription
or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible); and 
  
 (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date, plus
the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase
at such Current Market Price. 
  
 Such adjustment shall become effective
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of
Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made
upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In 

  

 49 

 
the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect
if such date fixed for the determination of shareholders 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 for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than
cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. 
  
 (d) In case
the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.3(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash
or other assets, including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.3(c), (2) dividends or distributions of Common Stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 10.4 applies and (3) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (such capital stock, evidence of its indebtedness,
cash, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 10.3(d) called the “distributed assets”), then, in each such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 10.3(d), the Conversion Rate shall
be increased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 10.3(g)) with respect to such distribution by a
fraction: 
  
 (1) the numerator of which shall be
the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 10.3(g)) on such date; and 
  
 (2) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price, less the Fair Market Value on such date of the portion of the distributed
assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date). 
  

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. However, in the event that
(i) the then Fair Market Value of the portion of the distributed assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date or (ii) the Current Market Price exceeds the Fair
Market Value of the distributed assets by less than $1.00, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the
amount of distributed assets such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion
Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate, which 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 10.3(d) by reference to the actual or
when-issued trading market for any distributed assets comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the 

  

 50 

 
Current Market Price pursuant to Section 10.3(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that
determining the Fair Market Value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holders. 
  
 In the event any such dividend or distribution consists of shares of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, one or more of the Company’s
Subsidiaries (a “Spin-Off”), the Fair Market Value of the securities to be distributed shall equal the average of the closing sale prices of such securities on the principal securities market on which such securities are traded for the 10
consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth day of trading of those securities after “ex dividend” trading commences for such dividend or distribution, and the Current Market Price shall be measured for the same period.

  
 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 Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events
(“Trigger Event”): 
  

	 	(1)	are deemed to be transferred with such Common Stock; 

  

	 	(2)	are not exercisable; and 

  

	 	(3)	are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock; 

  
 shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.3(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.3(d) will be required)
until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different distributed assets, evidences of
indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of
issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder 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 resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.3(d): 
  

(1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders
thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or
repurchase price received by a holder 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
which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued. 
  

 51 

 For purposes of this Section 10.3(d) and Sections 10.3(a), 10.3(b) and 10.3(c), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 10.3(d) is applicable that also includes Common Stock, a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 10.3(b) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock to which Section
10.3(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be: 
  
 (3) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which
Sections 10.3(a), 10.3(b) and 10.3(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Rate increase required by this Section 10.3(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by 
  
 (4) a dividend or distribution of such Common Stock, such
subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate increase required by Sections 10.3(a), 10.3(b) and 10.3(c) 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 (x) “the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such determinations” and “Record Date” within the meaning of
Section 10.3(a); (y) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 10.3(b); and (z) as “the date fixed for the determination
of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and such “Record Date” within the meaning of Section
10.3(c); and 
  
 (B) any 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 10.3(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock
resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution. 
  
 (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 10.4 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 10.3(d)), in an aggregate amount per share of Common Stock
outstanding on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution that, combined together with the aggregate amount per share of any other such distributions to all holders of Common Stock made exclusively in cash in the same fiscal quarter of the
Company as the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.3(e) has been made, exceeds the greater of (a) the preceding quarterly cash dividend, as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or
combinations of Common Stock effected after payment of such preceding quarterly dividend, paid by the Company on the Common Stock to the extent such quarterly dividend did not exceed the greater of any amount under this clause (a) or the succeeding
clause (b) calculated at the time of 

  

 52 

 
payment of such preceding cash dividend; (b) 0.49% of the Current Market Price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the declaration of the dividend; or
(c) $0.135 per share of Common Stock, as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations of Common Stock effected after the date of this Indenture (the amount of such excess applicable to one share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date,
the “Excess Dividend”), then and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction: 
  
 (1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date, and 
  
 (2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current
Market Price on such date, less an amount equal to the Excess Dividend. 
  
 However, in the event that the then Fair Market Value of the portion of cash and other securities, if any, so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in
lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash equal to the Excess Dividend such Holder would have
received had such Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion
Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
  
 (f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require
the payment to shareholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of shares tendered) of an aggregate consideration having a Fair Market Value that combined together with: 
  
 (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the Fair Market Value, as
of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of
such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.3(f) has been made; and 
  
 (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of shares of Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding
the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section 10.3(e) has been made; 
  
 exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price of the Common Stock (determined as provided in Section 10.3(g)) as of the last time (the “Expiration
Time”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Expiration Time (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), then, and in each such case,
immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the 

  

 53 

 
number determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction:

  
 (3) the numerator of which shall be the
product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares of Common Stock) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock at the Expiration Time; and 
  
 (4) the denominator shall be (x) the product of (1) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares of Common Stock) at the Expiration Time and (2) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock at the Expiration Time less (y) the Excess Amount. 
  
 Such increase (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all or a
portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such (or such portion of the) tender offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 10.3(f)
to any tender offer would result in a reduction in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 10.3(f). 
  
 (g) For purposes of this Section 10.3, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: 
  
 “Current Market Price” of a share of Common Stock
shall mean the average of the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question; provided, however, that if: 
  
 (1) the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) for any
event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.3(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs during such 10 consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Price
for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by dividing such Closing Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event; 

 
 (2) the “ex” date for any event (other than the
issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.3(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) 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 dividing such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion
Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event; and 
  
 (3) 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 in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes
of Section 10.3(d) or (f)) of the evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets 

  

 54 

 
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 10.3(f), if the “ex” date for any
event (other than the tender offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.3(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the Expiration Time 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 by dividing such Closing Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which
the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, when used: 
  
 (4) with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade 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; 
  
 (5) with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the shares of Common Stock
trade regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective; and 
  
 (6) with respect to any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade regular way on such
exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 10.3, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
the intent of this Section 10.3 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 
  
 (7) “Fair Market Value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length
transaction, as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution. 
  
 (8) “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 shareholders 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). 
  
 (h) The Company shall be entitled to make such additional increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by
Sections 10.3(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f), as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or distribution of Common Stock, any subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock or any issuance of rights or warrants referred
to above shall not be taxable to the holders of Common Stock for United States federal income tax purposes. 
  

 55 

 (i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion
Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and the reduction is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such reduction would be in the best interests of Holders, which
determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in
the register of the Securities maintained by the Registrar at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

  
 (j) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required
unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 10.3(j) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment and provided, further, that all adjustments carried forward shall be made no later than the earlier of (x) the one year anniversary of the date of the first such adjustment carried forward and (y) the date, if
any, on which the Company has delivered a notice to Holders pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Indenture, regardless of whether the aggregate amount is less than 1%. 
  
 (k) In any case in which this Section 10.3 shall require that any adjustment be made effective as of or retroactively
immediately following a Record Date, the Company may elect to defer (but only for five Trading Days following the filing of the statement referred to in Section 10.5) issuing to the Holder of any Securities converted after such Record Date the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to
such Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 
  
 (l) For purposes of this Section 10.3, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include Stock
held in the treasury of the Company but shall include Common Stock issuable in respect of certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Stock. All calculations under this Section 10.3 shall be made to the nearest cent or one-hundredth of a
share, with one-half cent and 0.005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. 
  
 (m) If a distribution date for the rights provided in the Company’s shareholders rights agreement occurs prior to the date a Security is converted and the Holders of Securities that convert such Securities after
the distribution date are not entitled to receive the rights that would otherwise be attached (but for the date of conversion) to the Common Stock received upon such conversion, then an adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to
clause 10.3(c) as if the rights were being distributed to the holders of the Common Stock immediately prior to such conversion. If such an adjustment is made and the rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a corresponding
reversing adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate, on an equitable basis, to take account of such event. 
  
 (n) In no event will the Company take any action that would require adjustment to the Conversion Rate, nor will the Company adjust the Conversion Rate, if
such 

  

 56 

 
Conversion Rate adjustment would require the Company to issue, upon conversion of the Securities, a number of shares of Common Stock that would require the
Company to obtain prior shareholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq National Market, and, if applicable, the rules of the exchange or quotation system on which the Company’s Common Stock is then traded, without obtaining
such prior shareholder approval. 
  
 Section 10.4 Consolidation
or Merger of the Company. If any of the following events occurs, namely: 
  
 (1) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination); 
  
 (2) any merger, consolidation,
statutory share exchange or combination of the Company with another corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange
for such Common Stock; or 
  
 (3) any sale or
conveyance of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including
cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock; 
  
 the Company or the
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture, if such supplemental indenture is
then required to so comply) providing that such Securities shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had such Securities been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory
share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation,
statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance (provided, that if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, 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 10.4, the kind and amount of securities, cash
or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, 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 X. If, in the case of any such
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and
assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture
shall also be 

  

 57 

 
executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of
Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article X hereof. 
  
 The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental
indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Securities maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or
validity of such supplemental indenture. 
  
 The above provisions
of this Section 10.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances. 
  
 If this Section 10.4 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 10.3 shall not apply. 
  
 Section 10.5 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever an adjustment in the
Conversion Rate with respect to the Securities is required: 
  
 (1) the Company shall forthwith place on file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent for such securities a certificate of the Treasurer of the Company, stating the adjusted Conversion Rate determined as provided
herein and setting forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment; and 
  
 (2) a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall forthwith be given by
the Company or, at the Company’s written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, to each Holder in the manner provided in Section 11.2. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the Holder receives such notice. 
  
 Section 10.6
Notice in Certain Events. In case: 
  
 (1)
of a consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or conveyance to another Person or entity or group of Persons or entities acting in concert as a
partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company; or 
  
 (2) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company; or 
  
 (3) of any
action triggering an adjustment of the Conversion Rate referred to in clauses (x) or (y) below; 
  
 then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and shall cause to be given, to the Holders of the Securities in the manner provided in 

  

 58 

 
Section 11.2, at least 15 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 any distribution or grant of rights or warrants triggering an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Article X, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record of Common Stock entitled to such
distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which any reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up triggering an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this
Article X is expected to become effective, 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, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. 
  
 Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 10.6. 
  
 Section 10.7 Company to Reserve Stock; Registration; Listing. (a) The
Company shall, in accordance with the laws of the State of California, at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the Securities, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all Securities then Outstanding into such Common Stock at any time (assuming that, at the time of the
computation of such number of shares or securities, all such Securities would be held by a single Holder); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations in respect of the conversion of
the Securities by delivery of purchased shares of Common Stock which have been repurchased by the Company. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all liens and charges and, except as provided in Section 10.8, taxes with respect to the issue thereof. 
  
 (b) If any shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of Securities hereunder require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority before such shares or securities may be issued upon such conversion, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such shares or securities to be duly registered or approved, as the case
may be. The Company further covenants that so long as the Common Stock shall be listed on the Nasdaq National Market, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., list and keep listed all
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, and the Company will endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the Securities prior to such delivery upon any other primary national securities
exchange upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the time of such delivery. 
  
 Section 10.8 Taxes on Conversion. The issue of stock certificates on conversion of Securities shall be made without charge to the converting Holder for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes
in respect of the issue thereof, and the Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant
hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or the portion, if any, of the Securities which are not so converted
in a name other than that in which the Securities so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless 

  

 59 

 
and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax
has been paid. 
  
 Section 10.9 Conversion After Record
Date. Except as provided below, if any Securities are surrendered for conversion on any day other than an interest payment date, the Holder of such Securities shall not be entitled to receive any interest (including contingent interest) that has
accrued on such Securities since the prior interest payment date. By delivery to the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration issuable upon conversion in accordance with this Article X, any accrued and unpaid interest
(including contingent interest) on such Securities will be deemed to have been paid in full. 
  
 If any Securities are surrendered for conversion subsequent to the Record Date preceding an interest payment date but on or prior to such interest payment date, the Holder of such Securities at the close of business
on such Record Date shall receive any interest (including contingent interest) payable on such Securities on such interest payment date notwithstanding the conversion thereof. Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of
business on any Record Date preceding any interest payment date to the opening of business on such interest payment date shall (except in the case of Securities which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) be
accompanied by payment by Holders, for the account of the Company, in New York Clearing House funds or other funds of an amount equal to the interest (including contingent interest) payable on such interest payment date on the Securities being
surrendered for conversion. Except as provided in this Section 10.9, no adjustments in respect of payments of interest (including contingent interest) on Securities surrendered for conversion or any dividends or distributions or interest on the
Common Stock issued upon conversion shall be made upon the conversion of any Securities. 
  
 Section 10.10 Cash Conversion Option. (a) If a Holder elects to convert all or any portion of a Security into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 10.1 and the Company receives such Holder’s
Notice of Conversion on or prior to the day that is 20 days prior to the date of Stated Maturity of the Securities (the “Final Notice Date”), the Company may choose to satisfy all (but not less than all) of its Conversion Obligation to
such Holder in cash. Upon such election, the Company will notify such Holder through the Trustee at any time on or before the date that is two Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such Holder’s Notice of Conversion as specified
in Section 10.2 (such period, the “Cash Settlement Notice Period”). If the Company elects to pay cash for the shares otherwise issuable to the Holder, the Holder may retract such Holder’s Notice of Conversion at any time during the
two Business Day period beginning on the day after the final day of the Cash Settlement Notice Period (the “Conversion Retraction Period”); no such retraction can be made (and a Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable) if the Company
does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares). With respect to any Notice of Conversion received by the Company prior to the Final Notice Date, the “Conversion Settlement
Distribution” for any Security subject to such Notice of Conversion shall consist of cash or Common Stock, as selected by the Company as set forth below: 
  

(1) if the Company elects to satisfy the Conversion Obligation in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Settlement Distribution shall
be a number of shares equal to (1) the aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities to be converted divided by 1,000, multiplied by (2) the Conversion Rate; 
  

 60 

 (2) if the Company elects to satisfy the Conversion Obligation in cash, the Conversion
Settlement Distribution shall be cash in an amount equal to the product of: 
  
 (i) a number equal to the product of (x) the Aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities to be converted divided by 1,000 multiplied by (y) the Conversion Rate, and 
  
 (ii) the average Closing Price of the Common Stock during
the 10 Trading-Day period beginning on the Trading Day immediately following the final day of the Conversion Retraction Period (the “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”). 
  
 (b) At any time on or before the Final Notice Date, the Company will notify the Trustee whether it intends to satisfy the
Conversion Obligation with respect to conversions of Securities for which the Company receives a Notice of Conversion after such Final Notice Date in cash or in shares of Common Stock. In such case, the applicable Conversion Settlement Distribution
will be computed in the same manner as set forth in clause (a) above except that the Cash Settlement Averaging Period shall be the ten (10) Trading Days beginning on the first Trading Day following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of
Conversion. Holders shall not be permitted to retract any Notice of Conversion that is delivered after the Final Notice Date. 
  
 Section 10.11 Company Determination Final. Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to this Article X shall
be conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article X, absent manifest error, and set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors. 
  
 Section 10.12 Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. The Trustee has no duty to determine when an
adjustment under this Article X should be made, how it should be made or what it should be, or whether any Securities have become convertible pursuant to this Article X. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any
securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with this Article X. Each Conversion Agent other than the Company shall have the same protection under this
Section 10.12 as the Trustee. 
  
 The rights, privileges,
protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee under this Indenture including, without limitation, its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent acting hereunder. 
  
 Section
10.13 Unconditional Right of Holders to Convert. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Securities shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to convert its Securities in accordance with this
Article X and to bring an action for the enforcement of any such right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY] 
  
 Zero Coupon Senior Convertible 
 Contingent Debt Securities due 2024 
  

	1.	Interest. 

  
 Except as provided below, this Security shall not bear interest. Issue Discount (the difference between the Issue Price and the Principal Amount at Maturity of the Security), in the period during which a Security
remains outstanding, shall accrete at 0.50% per annum, on a semiannual bond equivalent basis using a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, from the Issue Date of this Security. 
  
 Contingent Interest. Interest will accrue on this Security during any six-month period from March 23 to September 22
and from September 23 to March 22, commencing March 23, 2009, if the average Trading Price of the Security for the five trading day period ending on (if the second Business Day is not a trading day, then on the last trading day prior to) the second
Business Day immediately prior to the first day of the applicable six-month period equals 120% or more of the sum of the Issue Price and accreted Issue Discount for such Security to the day immediately preceding the relevant six-month period.

  
 The “Trading Price” of the Securities means: (i) the
average of the secondary market bid quotations per Securities obtained by the Company or the Conversion Agent for $10,000,000 principal amount of the Securities at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such determination date from three
independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company; (ii) if at least three such bids cannot reasonably be obtained by the Company or the Conversion Agent, but two such bids are obtained, then the average of the two bids
shall be used; (iii) if only one such bid can reasonably be obtained by the Company or the Conversion Agent, this one bid shall be used; or (iv) if the Company or the Conversion Agent cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $10,000,000
principal amount of the Securities from a nationally recognized securities dealer or in the Company’s reasonable judgment, the bid quotations are not indicative of the secondary market value of the Securities, then the Trading Price of the
Securities will equal less than 98% of (x) the then-applicable Conversion Rate of the Securities multiplied by (y) the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on such determination date, appropriately adjusted. 
  
 The Conversion Agent will initially be the Trustee. The Company may change
the Conversion Agent, but the Conversion Agent will not be an Affiliate of the Company. The Conversion Agent will solicit bids from securities dealers that are believed by the Company to be willing to bid for the Securities. 
  
 The rate of Contingent Interest payable in respect of any six-month period
will equal 0.30% of the average Trading Price of the Security over the measuring period triggering the Contingent Interest payment. 
  

 Contingent interest, if any, will be payable to the Holders of this Security as of the fifteenth day
preceding the last day of the relevant six-month period. Such payments will be paid on the last day of the relevant six-month period. 
  
 Issue Discount will continue to accrete at the yield to maturity whether or not contingent interest is paid. 
  
 Upon determination that the Holder of this Security is entitled to receive
contingent interest which may become payable during a relevant six-month period, on or prior to the start of such six-month period, the Company will publicly announce such determination and publish it on the Company’s web site. 
  
 The Company will not pay contingent interest accrued and unpaid on this
Security upon conversion into Common Stock, except under certain limited circumstances described below. 
  
 Semiannual Interest Payments at the Company’s Option. From and after the date of the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Company will have the
option to elect to have interest in lieu of future Issue Discount accrue at 0.50% per year on a restated principal amount per Security and to pay such interest in cash. The “restated principal amount” of a Security will be equal to the
Issue Price plus Issue Discount accreted to the date of the Tax Event or the date on which the Company exercises the option described herein, whichever is later (the “Option Exercise Date”). 
  
 Such interest shall accrue from the Option Exercise Date and will be payable
semiannually on interest payment dates of March 23 and September 23 of each year to Holders of record at the close of business on March 8 or September 8 immediately preceding the interest payment date. Interest will accrue from the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Option Exercise Date. In the event that the Company exercises its option to pay interest, the Redemption Price, Purchase Price and Change in Control Purchase Price will be
adjusted to reflect the restated principal amount. 
  
 A “Tax
Event” means that the Company shall have received an opinion from independent tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, on or after March 18, 2004, as a result of: 
  
 (i) any amendment to, or change (including any announced proposed change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of
the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or 
  
 (ii) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority, 
  
 in each case which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which
interpretation is issued or announced, on or after March 18, 2004 there is more than an insubstantial risk that interest (including issue discount and contingent interest) payable on this Security either: 
  
 (i) would not be deductible on a current accrual basis, or 
  

 74 

 (ii) would not be deductible under any other method, 
  
 in either case in whole or in part, by the Company (by reason of deferral, disallowance, or
otherwise) for United States federal income tax purposes. 
  
 General. If this Security is redeemed on a date that is after the record date and prior to the corresponding interest payment date, interest, if any, accrued and unpaid hereon to but not including the applicable Redemption Date will
be paid to the Holder on the relevant Record Date. 
  
 Except as
provided below, interest will be paid (i) on the Global Securities to DTC in immediately available funds, (ii) on the Certificated Securities having an aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of
such Securities; and (iii) on the Certificated Securities having an aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of more than $5,000,000, by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of the Holders of these Securities. 
  
 Contingent interest and interest payable upon a conversion of a Security to
semiannual coupon Securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 If the Principal Amount at Maturity hereof or any portion of such Principal Amount at Maturity is not paid when due (whether upon acceleration pursuant to
Section 6.2 of the Indenture, upon the date set for payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof, upon the date set for payment of the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof or upon the
Stated Maturity of this Security), then in each such case the overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest at the rate of 0.50% per annum, compounded semiannually, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount
was originally due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable on demand. 
  
 In the event that interest (including Contingent Interest and/or additional interest) becomes payable on the Securities, a
Holder of any Security at the close of business on a Record Date shall be entitled to receive such interest on the corresponding interest payment date. A Holder of any Security which is converted after the close of business on a Record Date and
prior to the corresponding interest payment date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Security, notwithstanding the conversion of such Security prior to such interest payment date. However, any such Holder that surrenders any such Security
for conversion during the period between the close of business on such Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the corresponding interest payment date shall be required to pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on such
Security so converted, that is payable by the Company to such Holder on such interest payment date, at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder that surrenders for conversion any
Security after a Record Date for an interest payment but prior to the interest payment date, that has been called for redemption by the Company pursuant to Article III of the Indenture and Section 5 of this Security prior to such conversion, where
such redemption date is on or prior to the third business day after such interest payment date, shall be entitled to receive (and retain) such interest to the 

  

 75 

 
Redemption Date and need not pay the Company an amount equal to the interest on such Security so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security
for conversion. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment. 

  
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make payments in respect of Redemption Prices, Purchase Prices, Change in Control
Purchase Prices and at Stated Maturity to Holders who surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Securities. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check payable in such money. 
  

	3.	Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. 

  
 Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or
Registrar without notice, other than notice to the Trustee; provided that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent in the State of New York, City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, which shall initially be an office or agency of the
Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar. 
  

	4.	Indenture. 

  
 The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of March 23, 2004 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and
those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from time to time (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The
Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. 
  
 The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to $265,212,000 aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity (subject to Section 2.7 of
the Indenture). The Indenture does not limit other indebtedness of the Company, secured or unsecured. 
  

	5.	Redemption at the Option of the Company. 

  
 No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. The Securities are redeemable as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time at the option of the
Company at the Redemption Prices set forth below plus contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date, provided that the Securities are not redeemable prior to March 23, 2009. 
  

 76 

 The table below shows the Redemption Prices of $1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity of a Security on the
dates shown below and at Stated Maturity, which prices reflect accreted Issue Discount calculated to each such date. The Redemption Price of a Security redeemed between such dates shall include an additional amount reflecting the accreted Issue
Discount accrued since the next preceding date in the table.

 If converted to
semiannual coupon notes following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Security will be redeemable at the restated principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of conversion through the stated maturity date. 
  

	6.	Purchase By the Company at the Option of the Holder. 

  
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase, at the option of the Holder, all or any portion of
the Securities held by such Holder in integral multiples of $1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity on the following Purchase Dates and at the following Purchase Prices per $1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid
contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, to the Purchase Date upon delivery of a Purchase Notice containing the information set forth in the Indenture, at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to
such Purchase Date until the close of business on the third Business Day prior to such Purchase Date, and upon delivery of the Securities to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture.

	  	$	975.34

  
 The purchase prices
shown above are equal to the issue price plus accreted issue discount to the purchase date. If prior to a purchase date the Securities have been converted to semiannual coupon Securities following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Purchase Price
will be equal to the restated principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest from the Option Exercise Date to the Purchase Date. 
  

 77 

 The Purchase Price shall be paid by the Company in cash. 
  
 At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase the Securities held by such Holder no later than 35 Business Days after the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company (as required by Section 3.8(b) of the Indenture) for a Change in
Control Purchase Price equal to the Issue Price plus accreted Issue Discount plus accrued and unpaid contingent interest and additional amounts, if any, to the Change in Control Purchase Date, which Change in Control Purchase Price shall be paid in
cash; provided, that if prior to a Change in Control Purchase Date the Securities have been converted to semiannual coupon Securities following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Company will be required to purchase the Securities at a cash price
equal to the restated principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (including contingent interest and additional amounts, if any) from the Option Exercise Date to the Change in Control Purchase Date. 
  
 Holders have the right to withdraw any Purchase Notice or Change in Control
Purchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. 
  
 If cash sufficient to pay the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may be, of all Securities or portions thereof to be
purchased as of the Purchase Date or the Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Business Day following the Purchase Date or the Change in Control Purchase Date, Issue Discount and other
interest ceases to accrete or accrue on such Securities (or portions thereof) immediately after such Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other than the right to receive the
Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price upon surrender of such Security. 
  

	7.	Notice of Redemption. 

  
 Notice of redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of this Security will be mailed at least 20 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each
Holder of Securities to be redeemed at the Holder’s registered address. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent prior to or
on the Redemption Date, immediately after such Redemption Date Issue Discount ceases to accrete on such Securities or portions thereof. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 of Principal Amount at Maturity may be redeemed in part but only
in integral multiples of $1,000 of Principal Amount at Maturity. 
  

	8.	Conversion. 

  
 Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture (including, without limitation, the conditions to conversion of this Security set forth in Section 10.1 thereof), a Holder is entitled, at such
Holder’s option, to convert the Holder’s Security (or any portion of the Principal Amount at Maturity thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple $1,000), into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the
Conversion Rate in effect at the time of conversion. 
  

 78 

 The Company will notify Holders of any event triggering the right to convert the Securities as specified
above in accordance with the Indenture. 
  
 A Security in respect
of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture. 
  
 The initial Conversion Rate
is 23.7582 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity, subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture. 
  
 To surrender a Security for conversion, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice below (or complete and manually sign a
facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required.

  
 A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the Principal
Amount at Maturity of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the shares of Common Stock except as provided in the Indenture. On conversion of a Security, that portion of
accreted Issue Discount attributable to the period from the Issue Date through the Conversion Date with respect to the converted Security shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder
thereof through the delivery of the Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for the Security being converted pursuant to the terms hereof; and the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common
Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for Issue Discount accreted through the Conversion Date, and the balance, if any, of such Fair Market Value
of such Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued in exchange for the Issue Price of the Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof. 
  
 No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security. Instead of any fractional share of
Common Stock that would otherwise be issued upon conversion of such Security, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

which a Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Security to be purchased in part, the portion of the Security not to be purchased) or any Securities for a period of 15 days
before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.

respect to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After return 

  

 80 

 
to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property
law designates another person. 
  

	14.	Amendment; Waiver. 

  
 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the
Securities at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities so long as such changes, other that those
in clause (ii), do not materially and adversely affect the interest of Securityholders (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, (ii) to comply with Article V of the Indenture, (iii) to add to the covenants of the Company for the
benefit of Securityholders or to secure the Company’s obligations under the Securities and this Indenture, or (iv) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA. 
  

	15.	Defaults and Remedies. 

  
 If any Event of Default with respect to Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  

	16.	Trustee Dealings with the Company. 

  
 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  

	17.	Calculations in Respect of Securities. 

  
 The Company or its agents will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Securities including, but not limited to, determination of
the Trading Prices for the Securities and the Closing Prices of the Common Stock and the amounts of contingent interest payments, if any. Any calculations made in good faith and without manifest error will be final and binding on Holders of the
Securities. The Company will be required to deliver to the Trustee a schedule of its calculations and the Trustee will be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. 
  

	18.	No Recourse Against Others. 

  
 A director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities
or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a 

  

 81 

 
Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

  

	19.	Authentication.

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 We are delivering this letter in connection with a transfer of Zero Coupon
Senior Convertible Contingent Debt Securities due 2024 (the “Securities”) which are convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), of Greater Bay Bancorp (the “Company”). 
  
 We hereby confirm that: 
  
 1. we are an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule
501(a)(1), (2) or (3) 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) or (3) under the Securities Act (an
“Institutional Accredited Investor”): 
  
 2. (A) any
purchase of Securities 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(l)(5)(a) of the Securities Act that is acquiring Securities as fiduciary for the account of one or more institutions for which we exercise sole investment discretion; 
  
 3. in the event that we purchase any Securities, we will acquire Securities
having a minimum principal amount of not less than $250,000 for our own account or for any separate account for which we are acting; 
  
 4. any Securities held by us will be certificated Securities in the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Indenture relating to the Securities; 
  
 5. we have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that we are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Securities; and 
  
 6. we are not acquiring Securities with a view to distribution thereof or with any present intention of offering or selling Securities or the Common Stock 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 Securities are being transferred in a transaction not involving any public offering within the United States within the meaning of
the Securities Act 

  

 
and that the Securities and the shares of Common Stock 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 Securities, that if in the future we decide to resell or otherwise transfer such Securities or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, such Securities or Common Stock
may be resold or otherwise transferred only (i) to the Company or any subsidiary thereof, or (ii) to a person who is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144A, or (iii) to an Institutional Accredited Investor that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to the Trustee or transfer agent for such securities a signed letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to

form of Exhibit A-2 to the Indenture relating to the Securities and that such certificates will bear a legend reflecting the substance of this paragraph other than certificates representing Securities or Common Stock transferred pursuant to clause
(v) above.

a result of redemption, repurchase and cancellation, conversion or otherwise) or (z) all Transfer Restricted Securities registered under the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold. 
  
 (b) To have its Transfer Restricted Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, each
Holder shall complete the Selling Securityholder Notice and Questionnaire, the form of which is contained in Annex A to the Offering Memorandum relating to the CODES (the “Questionnaire”). The Issuer shall mail the Questionnaire to
each Holder not less than 20 Business Days (but not more than 40 Business Days) prior to the time the Issuer intends in good faith to have the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission. Holders are required to complete and
deliver the Questionnaire to the Issuer within 20 Business Days after the Issuer’s delivery thereof (the “Questionnaire Deadline”). Upon receipt of a Questionnaire from a Holder on or prior to the Questionnaire Deadline, the
Issuer shall include such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus. In addition, promptly upon the request of a Holder given to the Issuer at any time, the Issuer shall deliver a
Questionnaire to such Holder. 

  

 4 

 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of a completed Questionnaire from a Holder who did not complete and deliver a Questionnaire prior to the
Questionnaire Deadline, the Issuer shall, within 30 Business Days of such receipt, file such amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement or supplements to a related Prospectus as are necessary to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus to
transferees of Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, that (i) any failure by the Issuer to file such amendments or supplements shall not result in the payment of Additional Interest to such Holder; (ii) that the Issuer shall not be
obligated to file more than (x) one (1) such pre-effective amendment or supplement for all such Holders in any one fiscal quarter and (y) more than one (1) such post-effective amendment for all such Holders in any one six-month period; and (iii) in
no event shall the Company be required to file any pre-effective amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement unless the aggregate principal amount at maturity of all Transfer Restricted Securities requested to be included therein by all such
Holders exceeds $1,000,000. 
  
 (c) Upon receipt of written
request for additional information from the Issuer, each Holder who intends to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement shall furnish to the Issuer in writing, within 20 Business Days after such Holder’s receipt
of such request, such additional information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of its Transfer Restricted Securities, in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus
included therein and in any application to be filed with or under state securities law, as the Issuer may reasonably request. In connection with all such requests for information from Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Issuer shall
notify such Holders of the requirements set forth in this paragraph regarding their obligation to provide the information requested pursuant to this Section 2(c). Each Holder as to which the Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to
furnish promptly to the Issuer all information required to be disclosed in order to make information previously furnished to the Issuer by such Holder not materially misleading. 
  
 3. Additional Interest. 
  
 (a) If: 
  
 (i) the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission prior to or on the Shelf Filing Deadline; 
  
 (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared
effective by the Commission prior to or on the Effectiveness Target Date; 
  
 (iii) except as provided in Section 4(b)(i) hereof, the Shelf Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but, during the Effectiveness Period, shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable
for its intended purpose without being succeeded within five Business Days by a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that cures such failure and, in the case of a post-effective amendment, is itself immediately declared effective; or 
  

 5 

 (iv) (A) prior to or on the 45th or 60th day, as the case
may be, of any Suspension Period, such suspension has not been terminated or (B) Suspension Periods exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 360 day period, 
  
 (each such event referred to in foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Issuer hereby agrees to pay additional interest
(“Additional Interest”) with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities from and including the day following the Registration Default to but excluding the day on which the Registration Default has been cured, accruing at a rate,
to each holder of CODES, (x) with respect to the first 90-day period during which a Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.25% per annum of the Applicable Amount of the CODES, and (y) with respect to the period
commencing on the 91st day following the day the Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal
to 0.50% per annum of the Applicable Amount of the CODES; provided that in no event shall Additional Interest accrue at an aggregate rate per year exceeding 0.50% of the Applicable Amount of the CODES. 
  
 (b) All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid in arrears to Record
Holders by the Issuer on each Additional Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by federal funds check. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Security, the accrual of Additional
Interest with respect to such Security will cease. The Issuer agrees to deliver all notices, certificates and other documents contemplated by the Indenture in connection with the payment of Additional Interest. 
  
 All obligations of the Issuer set forth in this Section 3 that are
outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Transfer Restricted Security shall have
been satisfied in full. 
  
 4. Registration
Procedures. 
  
 (a) In connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Issuer shall comply with all the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof and shall use its best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the
intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto, shall as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the
Securities Act. 
  
 (b) In connection with the Shelf Registration
Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Issuer shall: 
  
 (i) Subject to any notice by the Issuer in accordance with this Section 4(b) of the existence of any fact or event of the kind described
in Section 4(b)(iii)(D), use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective during the Effectiveness Period; upon the occurrence of any event that would cause the Shelf Registration Statement or the
Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a material misstatement or omission 

  

 6 

 
or (B) not be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the Effectiveness Period, the Issuer shall file promptly an
appropriate amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such
misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use its best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective and the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their intended
purposes as soon as practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may suspend the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by written notice to the Holders for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day
period (each such period, a “Suspension Period”) if: 
  
 (x) an event occurs and is continuing as a result of which the Shelf Registration Statement would, in the Issuer’s reasonable judgment, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and 
  
 (y) the Issuer reasonably determines that the disclosure of such event at such time would have a material adverse effect on the business
of the Issuer (and its subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole); 
  
 provided that in the event the disclosure relates to a previously undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction, the disclosure of which would impede the Issuer’s ability to consummate such transaction, the
Issuer may extend a Suspension Period from 45 days to 60 days; provided, however, that Suspension Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 360-day period. 
  
 (ii) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Shelf
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement or supplement to the
Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event will such method(s) of distribution take the form of an underwritten offering without the prior written agreement of the Issuer. 
  

 7 

 (iii) Advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly (but in any event
within five Business Days) and, if requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing: 
  
 (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the Shelf
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, 
  
 (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or
for additional information relating thereto, 
  
 (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer
Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, or 
  
 (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event, during the Effectiveness Period, that makes any statement of a material
fact made in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Shelf Registration
Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. 
  
 If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order
suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest
possible time and will provide to the Initial Purchaser and each Holder who is named in the Shelf Registration Statement prompt notice of the withdrawal of any such order. 
  
 (iv) Furnish to one counsel for the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing
with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and copies of any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (other than documents incorporated by reference after
the initial filing of the Shelf Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review of such holders and underwriter(s), if any, for a period of at least five Business Days but no more than seven Business Days (in the case of the
Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus) and two Business Days but no more than four Business Days (in the case of any amendment or supplement thereto), and the Issuer will not file the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (other than documents incorporated by reference) to which a selling Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement or the 

  

 8 

 
underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object prior to the filing thereof. A selling Holder or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to have reasonably
objected to such filing if the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission. 
  
 (v) Make available at reasonable times for inspection by one or more representatives of the selling Holders,
designated in writing by a Majority of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney or
accountant retained by such selling Holders or any of the underwriter(s), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Issuer as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due
diligence responsibilities, and cause the Issuer’s officers, directors, managers and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative or representatives of the selling Holders, underwriter, attorney or
accountant in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement after the filing thereof and before its effectiveness, provided, however, that any information designated by the Issuer as confidential at the time of delivery of such information
shall be kept confidential by the recipient thereof and subject, upon request of the Issuer, to the execution of a confidentiality agreement that is reasonable in the context of a registered public offering. 
  
 (vi) If requested by any selling Holders or the
underwriter(s), if any, promptly incorporate in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably
request to have included therein, including, without limitation: (1) information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities, (2) information with respect to the principal amount of CODES or number of
shares of Common Stock being sold to such underwriter(s), (3) the purchase price being paid therefor and (4) any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Issuer is notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment. 
  
 (vii) Furnish to each selling Holder and each of the
underwriter(s), if any, upon their request, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto (and any documents incorporated by reference therein or exhibits
thereto (or exhibits incorporated in such exhibits by reference) as such Person may request). 
  
 (viii) Deliver to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including
each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such 

  

 9 

 
Persons reasonably may request; subject to any notice by the Issuer in accordance with this Section 4(b) of the existence of any fact or event of the kind
described in Section 4(b)(iii) (D), the Issuer hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale
of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. 
  
 (ix) The Issuer shall: 
  
 (A) upon request, furnish to each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as they may reasonably request
and as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings for selling security holders, upon the date of closing of any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Registration: 
  
 (1) a certificate, dated the date of such closing, signed
by the Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer covering such matters as are customarily covered in closing certificates delivered to underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings of securities; 
  
 (2) opinions, each dated the date of such closing, of
counsel to the Issuer covering such of the matters as are customarily covered in legal opinions to underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings of securities; and 
  
 (3) customary comfort letters, dated the date of such closing, from the Issuer’s independent
accountants (and from any other accountants whose report is contained or incorporated by reference in the Shelf Registration Statement) in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in
connection with underwritten offerings of securities; 
  
 (B) set forth in full in the underwriting agreement, if any, indemnification provisions and procedures which provide rights no less protective than those set forth in Section 6 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified; and

  
 (C) deliver such other documents and
certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties to evidence compliance with clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the selling Holders pursuant to
this clause (ix). 
  
 (x) Before any public
offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities
or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably 

  

 10 

 
request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required (A) to register or qualify as a foreign corporation or a dealer of securities where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that
would subject it to the service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject or (B) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not now so subject. 
  
 (xi) Cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends (unless required by applicable securities laws); and enable such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations
and registered in such names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two Business Days before any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such underwriter(s). 
  
 (xii) Use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other U.S. governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate
the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities. 
  
 (xiii) Subject to Section 4(b)(i) hereof, if any fact or event contemplated by Section 4(b)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or have occurred, use its best efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 (xiv) Provide CUSIP numbers for all Transfer Restricted
Securities not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with certificates for the CODES that are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. 
  
 (xv) Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made
with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD. 
  
 (xvi) Otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission and all reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. 
  

 11 

 (xvii) Cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective
date of the Shelf Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the holders of CODES to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified
in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use its best efforts to cause the Trustee thereunder to execute all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the
Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner. 
  
 (xviii) Cause all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be listed or quoted, as the case may be, on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar
securities issued by the Issuer are then listed or quoted. 
  
 (xix) Provide to each Holder upon written request each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Shelf
Registration Statement. 
  
 (xx) If requested by
the underwriters, prepare and present to potential investors customary “road show” or marketing materials in a manner consistent with other new issuances of other securities similar to the Transfer Restricted Securities. 
  
 (c) Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that,
upon receipt of any notice (a “Suspension Notice”) from the Issuer of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 4(b)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause any
underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Offering to, forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until: 
  
 (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section
4(b)(xiii) hereof; or 
  
 (ii) such Holder is
advised in writing by the Issuer that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. 
  
 If so directed by the Issuer, each Holder will deliver to the Issuer (at the Issuer’s
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice of suspension. 
  
 (d) Upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder
shall notify the Issuer at least three Business Days prior to any intended distribution of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Sale Notice”), which notice shall be effective for five
Business Days. Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, by accepting the same, agrees to hold any communication by the Issuer in response to a Sale Notice in confidence. 
  

 12 

 5. Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Issuer’s performance of
or compliance with this Agreement shall be borne by the Issuer regardless of whether a Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: 
  
 (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by the Initial Purchaser or any
Holders with the NASD); 
  
 (ii) all fees and
expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; 
  
 (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing of Prospectuses and certificates for the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of
the CODES) and the Issuer’s expenses for messenger and delivery services and telephone; 
  
 (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Issuer and, subject to Section 5(b) below, the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities; 
  
 (v) all application and filing
fees in connection with listing (or authorizing for quotation) the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and 
  
 (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Issuer (including the
expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 
  
 The Issuer shall bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal,
accounting or other duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Issuer. 
  
 (b) In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement required by this Agreement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, and any other documents
delivered to any Holders, the Issuer shall reimburse the Initial Purchaser and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of
not more than one counsel, which shall be Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, or such other counsel as may be chosen by a Majority of Holders for whose benefit the Shelf Registration Statement is being prepared. 
  

 13 

 6. Indemnification and Contribution. The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless
each Holder, such Holder’s officers, directors, partners and employees and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Holder”), from and against any loss, claim,
damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to resales of the Transfer Restricted Securities), to which such Indemnified Holder may
become subject, insofar as any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon: 
  
 (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any blue sky application or other document or any amendment or supplement thereto prepared or executed by the Issuer (or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Issuer expressly for
use in such blue sky application or other document or amendment on supplement) filed in any jurisdiction specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities law of any state or other
jurisdiction (such application or document being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”); or 
  
 (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, 
  
 and shall reimburse each Indemnified Holder promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Holder in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon,
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or Blue Sky Application in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Holder; provided, further, that the Issuer shall not be liable for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent that it arises from (1) a sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities occurring during a Suspension Period, provided that such Holder shall have received a Suspension Notice with respect to such Suspension Period prior to such sale or (2) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission of a material fact contained in a Prospectus, if (w) the Issuer had notified such Holder of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission prior to the Holder’s first use of the Prospectus, (x) the Holder
failed to deliver, at or prior to the written confirmation of sale, a Prospectus that was amended or supplemented, (y) such Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, would have corrected the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission and (z) the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, had been delivered to such Holder prior to the time of the Holder’s first use of the Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Issuer may
otherwise have to any Indemnified Holder. 
  
 (b) Each Holder,
severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its officers, directors and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Issuer or any such officer, director, employee or controlling person may become subject, insofar as any such loss, claim, damage or liability or action arises out of, or is
based upon: 
  
 (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Blue Sky Application; or 
  

 14 

 (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, 
  
 but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Holder (or its related Indemnified Holder) specifically for use therein, and shall reimburse the Issuer and any such officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon
demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer or any such officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any Holder may otherwise have to the Issuer and any such officer, employee or controlling person. 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of
notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the
commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such
failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. If any such claim or action shall be
brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying
party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall
not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that a Majority of Holders shall have the right to employ a single counsel to represent jointly a Majority of Holders and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out
of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by a Majority of Holders against the Issuer under this Section 6, if a Majority of Holders seeking indemnification shall have been advised by legal counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to them and their respective officers, employees and controlling persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer and its officers, directors, employees and controlling persons, the fees and expenses
of a single separate counsel shall be paid by the Issuer. No indemnifying party shall: 
  
 (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) settle or compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each 

  

 15 

 
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or 
  
 (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. 
  
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 6(a) or 6(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in
respect thereof) referred to therein, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action
in respect thereof): 
  
 (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer from the offering and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities on the one hand and a Holder with respect to the sale by such Holder of the Transfer Restricted Securities on
the other, or 
  
 (ii) if the allocation provided
by clause (6)(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 6(d)(i) but also the relative fault of the Issuer on the one hand and the Holders on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or alleged omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

  
 The relative benefits received by the Issuer on the one hand and a Holder on
the other with respect to such offering and such sale shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the CODES purchased under the Purchase Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer on
the one hand, bear to the total proceeds received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities on the other. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer on the one hand or the Holders on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Issuer and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim,
damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 6, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Transfer

  

 16 

 
Restricted Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 6(d) are several and not joint. 
  
 7. Rule 144A. In the event the Issuer is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer hereby agrees with each
Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer
Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A. 
  
 8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No
Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder: 
  
 (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by
the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and 
  
 (ii) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

  
 9. Selection of Underwriters. The
Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering if approved by the Issuer, as provided in Section 4(b)(ii). In any
such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by a Majority of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are included in such offering;
provided, that such investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. 
  
 10. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Remedies. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Issuer to comply with its obligations under Section 2 hereof may
result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the
Initial Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuer’s obligations under Section 2 hereof. The Issuer further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a
remedy at law would be adequate. 
  
 (b) Adjustments
Affecting Transfer Restricted Securities. The Issuer shall not take any action with the primary purpose of adversely affecting the ability of the Holders of  

  

 17 

 
the Transfer Restricted Securities as a class to include such Transfer Restricted Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

  
 (c) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer will
not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. In addition, the
Issuer shall not grant to any of its security holders (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in such capacity) the right to include any of its securities in the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in this Agreement other
than the Transfer Restricted Securities. The Issuer has not previously entered into any agreement (which has not expired or been terminated) granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person which rights conflict with the
provisions hereof. 
  
 (d) Amendments and Waivers.
This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Issuer has obtained the written consent of a Majority of Holders or such greater percentage
of the Holders as required by the Indenture. 
  
 (e)

courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

 (f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that
(i) this Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of or be binding upon a successor or assign of a Holder unless and to the extent such successor or assign acquired Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder and (ii) nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Transfer Restricted
Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Transfer Restricted Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Securities such person shall be
conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  
 (h) Securities Held by the Issuer or Its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Transfer
Restricted Securities is required hereunder, Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Issuer or its “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or
approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 
  
 (i) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 
  
 (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State
of New York. 
  
 (k) Severability. If any one or
more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby. 
  
 (l) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect
of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted by the Issuer with respect to the Transfer
Restricted Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
