or transactions, consists of shares of common stock traded on any of The New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT LLC, The NASDAQ Global

or series of related transactions, the Notes become convertible or exchangeable into such consideration (excluding cash payments
for fractional shares or dissenters rights) as described in Section 9.08 hereof. For the purposes of this definition of “Fundamental

Price” will be the average of the mid-point of the last bid price and the last ask price per share of the Common Stock (or
such other security) on the relevant Trading Day from each of at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking

rules of construction also apply to the provisions contained herein:

 

(1)         “including”
means including, without limitation;

 

(2)         “may”
is not mandatory and shall not create any limitation;

 

(3)         all
references to $, dollars, cash payments or money refer to United States currency; and

 

(4)         unless

Section 1.05         Acts

action provided by the Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action will become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or
of a writing appointing any such agent will be sufficient for any purpose of this Supplemental Indenture and conclusive in favor
of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.05.

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

The fact and date of the execution by any
person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a 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 will 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 that the Trustee deems sufficient.

 

The ownership of the Notes shall be proved
by the Register.

 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note will bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of
every Note 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, the Company, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent or the Registrar in reliance
thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

 

If the Company will 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 will 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 will be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining
whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes will be computed as
of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date will be
deemed effective unless it will become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture not later than six months
after the record date.

Designation, Amount and Issuance of Notes. The Notes will be designated as “Variable Interest Convertible
Senior Notes due 2019.” The aggregate principal amount of Notes that initially may be authenticated and delivered under this
Supplemental Indenture is limited to $230,000,000. From time to time, the Company may, without the consent of the Holders, issue
additional Notes under the Indenture with the same terms (except for original issuance date and, possibly, the initial interest
accrual date and initial Interest Payment Date) and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Notes issued on the Issue Date in an unlimited
aggregate principal amount; provided, however, that if such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes issued on the
Issue Date for federal income tax purposes, they will have a separate CUSIP number. From time to time, the Company may issue and
execute, and the Trustee may authenticate, Notes delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 and 9.02(c) hereof. The registered Holder of a Note will be deemed as the
owner of the Note for all purposes under the Indenture.

Section 2.02         Form
of Notes.

 

(a)          General.
The Notes will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, but may include any notations, legends or endorsements
required by any applicable law (or regulation promulgated thereunder), stock exchange rule or usage, or any insertions, omissions
or other variations otherwise permitted or required by the Indenture. Whenever any such notation, legend or endorsement, or any
such insertion, omission or other variation is applicable to a Note, the Company will provide such notation, legend or endorsement,
or such insertion, omission or other variation to the Trustee in writing.

 

Each Note will bear a Trustee’s certificate
of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

 

Notes that are Global Notes will bear the
Global Notes Legend and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto.

 

The terms and provisions contained in the
Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of the Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the
Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be
bound thereby. However, to the extent that any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions of the Indenture will govern and control.

 

(b)          Initial
and Subsequent Notes. The Notes initially will be issued in global form, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee
of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary. Except to the
extent provided in Section 2.09(c) hereof, all Notes will be represented by one or more Global Notes.

 

(c)          Global
Notes. Each Global Note will represent the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes endorsed thereon and provide
that it represents such aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes, which aggregate principal amount may, from time to
time, be reduced or increased to reflect transfers, exchanges, conversions, redemptions or repurchases by the Company.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

Only the Trustee, or the custodian holding
such Global Note for the Depositary, at the direction of the Trustee, may endorse a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase
or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes represented thereby, and whenever the Holder of a Global
Note delivers instructions to the Trustee to increase or decrease the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes represented
by a Global Note in accordance with Section 2.09 hereof, the Trustee, or the custodian holding such Global Note for the Depositary,
at the direction of the Trustee, will endorse such Global Note to reflect such increase or decrease in the aggregate principal
amount of then outstanding Notes represented thereby. None of the Trustee, the Company or any agent of the Trustee or the Company
will have any responsibility or bear any liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, the
ownership of any beneficial interest in a Global Note or with respect to maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating
to such beneficial interest.

 

Neither any member of, or participant in,
the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may
act will have any rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note or under such Global Note, and the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee, may, for all purposes, treat the Depositary, or its nominee, if any, as the absolute
owner and Holder of such Global Note.

 

The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies
and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take
any action that Holders are entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes, and, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
will prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary,
its Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such persons
governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any interest in any Note.

 

Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents
shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

 

Section 2.03         Denomination
of Notes. The Notes will be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal
amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

Section 2.04         Payments.

 

(a)          General.

 

(i)          Payment
at Maturity.         Unless earlier paid or deemed
paid pursuant to any of Sections 3.05 or 9.03 hereof, the Notes
will mature on January 15, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”)
and, on the Maturity Date, the Company will pay each Holder of Notes $1,000 in cash for
each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but not including, the
Maturity Date.

 

(ii)         Payment
of Interest. The Notes will accrue cash interest at an annual rate of 2.50% (the “Fixed Interest”),
with an additional amount of cash interest payable on the Notes on each Interest Payment Date equal to the product of (i) the total
amount of cash dividends and cash distributions per share actually paid by the Company on the Common Stock during the prior three-month
period ending on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment and (ii) the total number of shares of the Common Stock into
which the Notes are convertible on such Regular Record Date (the “Dividend Interest,” together with the Fixed
Interest, the “Total Interest”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the interest payable on each Interest
Payment Date will be the higher of (i) the Total Interest and (ii) 7.50% per annum. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the
Issue Date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to the date the principal amount
of such Note is paid or deemed paid, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.04(a) or any of Sections 3.05
or 9.03 hereof.

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

In addition, if the Notes would otherwise
constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, on each Interest Payment Date on or after January 15, 2018, the Company will pay additional interest
on a Note in an amount equal to the amount required to be paid to prevent such Note from being treated as an applicable high yield
discount obligation.

 

Interest will be payable quarterly in arrears
in cash on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning
January 15, 2013, to the Holder of each such Note as of the Close of Business on the January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1, as
the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”),
regardless of whether such Note is converted or repurchased after such Regular Record Date. Interest will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 

Payments of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price, principal and interest that are not made when due will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the then-applicable interest
rate plus one percent from the applicable payment date.

 

(iii)        Method
of Payment. The Company will pay the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price for, and the interest on, any Global Note to the Depositary
by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the relevant payment
date.

 

The Company will pay the principal of, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, and any interest due on the Maturity Date on, any Definitive Note in cash to the applicable
Holder of such Note at the office of the Paying Agent on the relevant payment date.

 

The Company will pay interest on any Definitive
Note (except interest due on the Maturity Date) to the applicable Holder of such Note (i) if such Holder holds $5,000,000 or less
aggregate principal amount of Notes, by check mailed to such Holder’s registered address, and (ii) if such Holder holds more
than $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, (A) by check mailed to such Holder’s registered address or, (B) if such
Holder delivers to the Registrar a written request that the Company make such payments by wire transfer to an account of such Holder
within the United States, for each interest payment corresponding to each Regular Record Date occurring during the period beginning
on the date on which such Holder delivered such request and ending on the date, if any, on which such Holder delivers to the Registrar
a written instruction to the contrary, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by such Holder.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

(b)          Interest
Rights Preserved. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.10 hereof, to the extent applicable, each Note delivered
under the Indenture upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any other Note will carry any rights to
the payment and accrual of interest that were carried by the relevant surrendered Note, Notes, or portion(s) thereof.

 

Section 2.05         Execution
and Authentication.

 

(a)          In
General. A Note will be valid only if executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee.

 

(b)          Execution.
A Note will be deemed to have been executed by the Company when an Officer signs such Note on behalf of the Company. The Officer’s
signature may be manual or facsimile, and the validity of such Officer’s signature will not turn on whether such signatory
remains an Officer at the time the Trustee authenticates such Note.

 

(c)          
Authentication. A Note will be deemed authenticated when an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate
of authentication on such Note. An authorized signatory of the Trustee will manually sign the certificate of authentication on
a Note only if (i) the Company delivers such Note to the Trustee, (ii) such Note is validly executed by the Company in accordance
with Section 2.05(b) hereof, and (iii) the Company delivers, before or with such Note, a Company Order setting forth (A) a request
that the Trustee authenticate such Note; (B) the principal amount of such Note; (C) the name of the Holder of such Note, (D) the
date on which such Note is to be authenticated; and (E) any insertions, omissions or other variations, notations, legends or endorsements
permitted under Section 2.02 hereof and applicable to such Note. If the Company Order also specifies that the Trustee must deliver
such Note to the Holder or the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly deliver such Note in accordance with such Company Order.

 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating
agent. If the Trustee appoints an authenticating agent and such authenticating agent is acceptable to the Company, such authenticating
agent may authenticate a Note whenever the Trustee may authenticate such Note. For purposes of this provision, each reference in
this Supplemental Indenture to authentication by the Trustee will be deemed to include authentication by an authenticating agent,
and an authenticating agent will have the same rights to deal with the Company as the Trustee would have if it were performing
the duties that the authentication agent was validly appointed to undertake.

 

Section 2.06         Registrar,
Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

 

(a)          General.
The Company will maintain an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for payment
or repurchase (the “Paying Agent”), an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for conversion (the
“Conversion Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect
to the Notes and the Indenture may be served.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

The Registrar will keep a register for the
recordation of, and will record, the names and addresses of Holders, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange,
repurchase, and conversion of Notes (the “Register”). The entries in the Register will be conclusive, and the
parties may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all
purposes of the Indenture. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within
a reasonably prompt period of time.

 

The Company may have one or more registrars,
one or more paying agents, one or more conversion agents and one or more places where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company
with respect to the Notes and the Indenture may be served. Before appointing any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that
is not otherwise a party to this agreement, the Company will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with such Registrar, Paying
Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, which agency agreement will implement the provisions of the Indenture that relate
to such replacement or additional registrar, paying agent or conversion agent, as the case may be. The term Registrar includes
any additional registrars named pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent
named pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture. The term Conversion Agent includes any additional conversion agent named pursuant
to this Supplemental Indenture.

 

(b)          Initial
Designations. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as each of the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent,
and the Notes initially may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, payment, repurchase, and conversion
to the Trustee, in its capacity as the Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, at the Corporate Trust
Office. Notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and the Indenture may be served at the Corporate
Trust Office.

 

(c)          Removal,
Resignation and Replacement. The Company may remove any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent by delivering written notice
to the Trustee and to such Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent; provided, however, that no such removal will
become effective unless (i) after such removal, at least one Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent will remain; (ii) a successor
has accepted appointment as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, the Company and such successor have
entered into an agency agreement in accordance with Section 2.06(a) hereof, and the Company has delivered written notice of such
appointment and a copy of such agency agreement to the Trustee, or (iii) the Company has delivered written notice to the Trustee
that the Trustee will serve as the successor Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with
Section 2.06(e) hereof; and provided, further, that the right to effect any such change or removal in no way relieves
the Company of its obligation to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent in the continental United States. The
Company may also change the place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and the Indenture
may be served, or reduce the number of such places; provided, however, that the right to effect any such change or
reduction in no way relieves the Company of its obligation to maintain a place in the continental United States where notices and
demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and the Indenture may be served.

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

In addition, the Registrar, Paying Agent
or Conversion Agent may resign at any time by delivering written notice of such resignation to each of the Company and the Trustee;
provided, however, that if the Trustee is serving as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee may
resign from such capacity only if it also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.8 of the Base Indenture. If, after any
such resignation, at least one Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent does not remain, the Trustee will immediately be deemed
to serve such empty office or agency in accordance with Section 2.06(d) hereof.

 

(d)          Failure
to Maintain an Office or Agency. If the Company fails to maintain in the continental United States, a Registrar, Paying Agent,
Conversion Agent or place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and the Indenture may be
served, the Trustee will act as the Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, or place, as the case may be, and the office where
the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, presented for payment, repurchased or surrendered
for conversion, or place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and the Indenture may be
served, as the case may be, will be the Corporate Trust Office. In each such case, the Trustee will be entitled to compensation
for such action pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture.

 

(e)          Notices.
Promptly upon the effectiveness of any removal or subsequent appointment of a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, or upon
any change in the location of the office of any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, or of the place where notices and
demands to, or upon, the Company with respect to the Notes and the Indenture may be served, the Company will deliver to the Trustee
notice of such removal, appointment or change in location, as the case may be, which notice will include a brief description of
the removal, appointment or change in location, as the case may be, and list the name and address of each continuing (and newly
appointed, if applicable) Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent and place where notices and demands to, or upon, the Company
with respect to the Notes and the Indenture may be served.

 

Section 2.07         Money
and Securities Held in Trust. Except as otherwise provided herein, by no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each
due date for a payment on any Note, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money in immediately available
funds, if deposited on the due date, sufficient to make such payment when due.

 

The Company will require that each Paying
Agent (other than the Trustee, if the Trustee is a Paying Agent) agree in writing that it will (i) segregate all money and securities
it holds for making payments with respect to the Notes; (ii) hold such money and securities in trust for the benefit of Holders;
and (iii) notify the Trustee, in writing, as promptly as practicable, if the Company defaults in making any payment on the Notes.

 

If any such payment default has occurred
and is continuing, the Paying Agent will, upon receiving a written request from the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all of
the money and securities it holds in trust. In addition, at any time, the Company may require a Paying Agent to pay all money and
securities that it holds for making payments with respect to the Notes to the Trustee and to account for any money and securities
it has disbursed. After delivering all of such money and securities to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Paying Agent
will have no further liability for such money and securities.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

Section 2.08         Holder
Lists. The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of
the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, promptly after
each Regular Record Date, 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 Holders.

 

Section 2.09         Transfer
and Exchange.

 

(a)          Provisions
Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges. 

 

(i)          Subject
to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.09, Definitive Notes and
beneficial interests in Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged
from time to time as desired, and each such transfer or exchange will be noted by the Registrar
in the Register.

 

(ii)         All
Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture will be the valid obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Supplemental Indenture as
the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(iii)        No
service charge will be imposed on any Holder of a Definitive Note or any
owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for any exchange or registration
of transfer, but each of the Company, the Trustee or
the Registrar may require such Holder or owner
of a beneficial interest to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessment or
other governmental charge imposed in connection with such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

(iv)        Unless
the Company specifies otherwise, none of the Company, the Trustee
or the Registrar will be required to exchange or register a
transfer of any Note (i) surrendered for conversion, except
to the extent that any portion of such Note has not been surrendered for conversion, or (ii)
subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice validly delivered
pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, except to the extent any portion of such Note is
not subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. 

 

(v)         The
Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine
or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed
under this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer
of any interest in any Note (including any
transfers between or among Depositary participants or
beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by,
and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

 

(b)          In
General; Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement
with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, except to the extent required by Section 2.09(c) hereof:

 

(i)          all
Notes will be represented by one or more Global Notes;

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

(ii)         every
transfer and exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will
be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and
the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture; and

 

(iii)        each
Global Note may be transferred only as a whole and only (A) by the Depositary to
a nominee of the Depositary, (B) by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary or (C)
by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a
nominee of such successor Depositary. 

 

(c)     Transfer
and Exchange of Global Notes.

 

(i)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture, each Global Note will be exchanged for Definitive
Notes if the Depositary delivers notice to the Company that:

 

(A)         the
Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary; or

 

(B)         the
Depositary is no longer registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act; and,

 

in each case, the Company promptly delivers
a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after receiving notice
from the Depositary.

 

In each such case, (1) each Global Note
will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, (2) the Trustee will promptly cancel each such Global Note in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures, (3) the Company, (x) in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, will promptly execute, for each beneficial
interest in each Global Note so cancelled, an aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount
of such beneficial interest, registered in such name and authorized denominations as the Depositary specifies, and bearing such
legends as such Definitive Notes are required to bear under Sections 2.02 hereof, and, (y) as provided in Section 2.05(c) hereof,
will promptly deliver to the Trustee such Definitive Notes and a Company Order including the information specified in Section 2.05(c)
hereof with respect to such Definitive Notes, and (4) the Trustee, upon receipt of such Definitive Notes and such Company Order,
in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, will promptly authenticate, and deliver to the Holder specified in such Company Order,
such Definitive Notes.

 

(ii)         In
addition:

 

(A)         if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may exchange such beneficial
interest for Definitive Notes by delivering a written request to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee; or

 

(B)         at
any time, the Company may, in its sole discretion, at the request of the owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, permit
the exchange of such owner’s beneficial interest, by delivering a written request to the Registrar, the Trustee and the owner
of such beneficial interest.

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

In each case,
(1) upon receipt of such request, the Registrar will promptly deliver written notice of such
request to the Company and the Trustee, which notice must identify
the owner of the beneficial interest to be exchanged, the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest and the CUSIP
number of the relevant Global Note; (2) the Trustee, upon receipt
of such notice, will promptly cause the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note to be
reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest to be so exchanged in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures, (3) the Company (x) in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, will promptly execute,
for such beneficial interest, a Definitive Note having aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such
beneficial interest, registered in the name of the owner specified in the notice delivered by the Registrar,
and bearing such legends as such Definitive Note is required to bear under Sections 2.02 hereof,
and, (y) as provided in Section 2.05(c) hereof, will promptly deliver to the Trustee such
Definitive Note and a Company Order including the information specified in Section 2.05(c)
hereof with respect to such Definitive Note, and (4) the Trustee,
upon receipt of such Definitive Note and such Company Order, will promptly, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, authenticate,
and deliver to the Holder specified in such Company Order, such Definitive
Note. If, after such exchange, all of the beneficial interests in a Global Note have been exchanged
for Definitive Notes, such Global Note will be deemed surrendered
to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause
such Global Note to be cancelled in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

 

(d)          Transfer
and Exchange of Definitive Notes. If Definitive Notes are issued, a Holder may:

 

(i)          transfer
a Definitive Note by: (A) surrendering such Definitive Note for registration of transfer to
the Registrar, together with any endorsements or instruments
of transfer reasonably required by any of the Company, the
Trustee and the Registrar; and (B) satisfying any other requirements
for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.09 hereof. Upon
the satisfaction of conditions (A) and (B), (1) the Company, (x) in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, will promptly execute
a new Definitive Note, in the name of the designated transferee, having an aggregate principal amount
equal to that of the transferred Definitive Note and bearing such legends as such Definitive Note is required to bear under Sections
2.02 hereof, and (y) as provided in Section 2.05(c) hereof,

(ii)         exchange
one or more Definitive Notes for one or more
other Definitive Notes of any authorized denominations, and aggregate principal amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of the one or more Definitive Notes to
be exchanged, by surrendering such one or more Definitive Notes,
together with any endorsements or instruments of transfer reasonably
required by any of the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar,
at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such
purposes pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof. Whenever a Holder so surrenders one or more
Definitive Notes for exchange, (1) the Company, (x) in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof,
will promptly execute one or more new Definitive Notes,
each in the name of such Holder, in the authorized denomination or denominations
that such Holder requested (which authorized denomination or authorized
denominations, as the case may be, must in aggregate, equal the aggregate principal amount of the one or more
Definitive Notes to be exchanged), and bearing a unique registration number not contemporaneously
outstanding and such legends as such Definitive Note is required to bear under Section 2.02 hereof,
and (y) as provided in Section 2.05(c) hereof, will promptly deliver to the Trustee each
such Definitive Note and a Company Order including the information specified in Section 2.05(c)
with respect to each such Definitive Note, and (2) the Trustee, upon
receipt of each such Definitive Note and such Company Order, will promptly, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, authenticate,

    	17

    	 

    

 

(iii)        transfer
or exchange a Definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note by
(A) surrendering such Definitive Note for registration of transfer or exchange, together with
any endorsements or instruments of transfer reasonably required
by any of the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar,
at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such
purposes pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof; (B) satisfying any other requirements for such transfer set
forth in this Section 2.09 hereof; and (C) providing written instructions to the Trustee
to make an adjustment in its books and records with respect to the applicable Global Note to
reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by such Global
Note, which instructions will contain information regarding the Depositary account
to be credited with such increase. Upon the satisfaction of conditions (A), (B), and (C), the Trustee (1)
will promptly cancel such Definitive Note and, (2) will promptly cause the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented
by such Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive
Note, and credit, or cause to be credited, the account of the person
specified in the instructions provided by the exchanging Holder in
an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Note, in each case, in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures. If at the time of such exchange, no Global Notes are
then outstanding, the Company, (x) in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, will promptly execute and
deliver to the Trustee, a new Global Note registered in the
name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, as the
case may be, having the appropriate aggregate principal amount, and bearing such legends as such Global Note is
required to bear under Section 2.02 hereof, and (y) as provided in Section 2.05(c) hereof,
will promptly deliver to the Trustee such Global Note and a
Company Order including the information specified in Section 2.05(c) with
respect to such Global Note, and (2) the Trustee,
upon receipt of such Global Note and such Company Order, will promptly, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, authenticate,
and deliver to the Depositary, its nominee, or a custodian
of the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, such Global
Note.

 

Section 2.10         Replacement
Notes. If (i) a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or (ii) the Holder of a Note claims that such
Note has been lost, destroyed or stolen and provides the Company and the Trustee with (A) evidence of such loss, theft or destruction
that is satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and (B) such amount or kind of security or indemnity that either of the Company
or the Trustee reasonably require to protect itself from any loss that it may suffer upon replacement of such Note, then, in either
case, unless the Company or the Trustee receives written notice that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Company will, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt
of a Company Order, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, will promptly authenticate and deliver, in the name of such Holder,
a replacement Note having the same aggregate principal amount as the Note that was mutilated or claimed to be lost, destroyed or
stolen, with a certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new Note 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.

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section
2.10 in exchange for any mutilated Note, or in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, will constitute an original contractual
obligation of the Company and any other obligor upon the Notes, regardless of whether the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Note will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all benefits of (and will be subject to all the limitations
set forth in) the Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

 

The provisions of this Section 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 Notes.

 

Section 2.11         Temporary
Notes. Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent
appointed by the Trustee will, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed)
(“Temporary Notes”). Temporary Notes will be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the
form of Definitive Notes, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for Temporary Notes, all as
may be determined by the Company. Every such Temporary Note will be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or
such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Definitive
Notes. Without unreasonable delay the Company will prepare, execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Definitive
Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all Temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in
exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and the Trustee or such authenticating
agent will authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such Temporary Notes, Definitive Notes having an aggregate principal amount
equal to such Temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, the Temporary Notes will, in all respects, be entitled to the same benefits
and subject to the same limitations under the Indenture as Definitive Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

Section 2.12         Cancellation.
At any time, the Company may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. Whenever any Note is surrendered to the Registrar,
Conversion Agent or Paying Agent for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion, repurchase, or payment, the Registrar, Conversion
Agent or Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly forward such Note to the Trustee. Upon receipt of any such Note, the Trustee,
in its customary manner, will promptly cancel and dispose of such Note and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company
upon written request of the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has repurchased, paid or delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation or that a Holder has converted pursuant to Article 9 hereof.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

Section 2.13         Outstanding
Notes. At any time, Notes outstanding are limited to all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except (i) those
cancelled by it, (ii) those delivered to it for cancellation and (iii) those deemed not outstanding under Sections 3.05 and 9.02
hereof and clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.13.

 

(a)          If
a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its replacement unless
the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that such Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

 

(b)          In
addition, if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds a Note, such Note will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding
for purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have given or concurred in
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, except that for the purposes
of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of
the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver
with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company
or of such other obligor. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time of any such determination will be considered
in such determination (including determinations pursuant to Articles 6 and 9 hereof).

 

Section 2.14         Persons
Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note 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 Note is registered in the Register
as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving the payment of the principal, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of,
and interest, if any, on, such Note, for the purpose of conversion of such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever with respect
to such Note, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee will be affected by any notice to
the contrary.

 

Section 2.15         Repurchases.
The Company may, from time to time, at its option, repurchase Notes in open market purchases or in negotiated transactions without
delivering prior notice to Holders.

 

Section 2.16         CUSIP
and ISIN Numbers.

 

(a)          The
Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use). The Company
will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

 

(b)          In
addition, if, when any shares of Common Stock are issued upon conversion of a Note, CUSIP and ISIN numbers are generally in use,
the Company will use CUSIP and ISIN numbers with respect to such shares of Common Stock.

 

(c)          Whenever
any of the CUSIP numbers with respect to the Notes or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes changes,
ceases to be used, or begins to be used, the Company will deliver prompt written notice of such change, cessation, or beginning
to each of the Trustee and the Holders.

is hereby amended and restated in full, with respect to the Notes, to read as follows:

 

Section 3.01         Fundamental
Change Permits Holders to Require the Company to
Repurchase the Notes.

 

(a)          General.
If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder will have the right, at such Holder’s
option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all, or any portion, of its Notes in principal amount equal to $1,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000 on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change for an amount of cash equal
to the corresponding Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

 

(b)          Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price. The “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price” means, for any Notes to be repurchased
on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on such Notes to, but excluding, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided, however, that
if a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date occurs after a Regular Record Date, but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment
Date, the Company will pay the full accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such
Notes as of the Close of Business on the corresponding Regular Record Date and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will equal
100% of the principal amount of such Notes.

 

(c)          Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date. The “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date” means, for any Fundamental Change, the
date specified by the Company in the Fundamental Change Notice for such Fundamental Change, which date will be not less than 20
Business Days, nor more than 35 Business Days, following the Fundamental Change Notice Date for such Fundamental Change.

 

Section
3.02         Fundamental Change Notice.

 

(a)          General.
On or before the 15th Business Day after the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to each Holder (and to any beneficial owners of a Global Note, as required by applicable law), the Trustee and the Paying Agent
written notice of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and the resulting fundamental change repurchase right (the “Fundamental
Change Notice,” and the date of such mailing or delivery, the “Fundamental Change Notice Date”). Simultaneously
with sending any Fundamental Change Notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, the Company will publish a notice
containing the same information as the Fundamental Change Notice on its website or through such other public medium as the Company
may use at such time.

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

For any Fundamental Change, the Fundamental
Change Notice corresponding to such Fundamental Change will specify:

 

(A)         the
events causing such Fundamental Change;

 

(B)         the
effective date of such Fundamental Change;

 

(C)         the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change;

 

(D)         the
last date on which a Holder may exercise its right to require the Company to repurchase its Notes as a result of such Fundamental
Change under this Article 3, which will be the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

 

(E)         the
procedures that a Holder must follow to require the Company to repurchase a Note;

 

(F)         the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such Fundamental Change;

 

(G)         the
name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;

 

(H)         if
applicable, the Conversion Rate in effect on the Fundamental Change Notice Date for such Fundamental Change and the Last Reported
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Notice Date;

 

(I)         if
applicable, any adjustments that will be made to the Conversion Rate as a result of such Fundamental Change, including any Additional
Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased pursuant to Section 9.07 hereof for a Holder that converts a Note “in
connection with” such Fundamental Change;

 

(J)         if
applicable, that following delivery of a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice for Notes by a Holder such Notes may be converted
only if such Holder withdraws such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

 

(K)         the
procedures for withdrawing a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice;

 

(L)         that
if a Note or portion of a Note is subject to a validly delivered Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, unless the Company defaults
in paying the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Note or portion of a Note, interest, if any, on such Note or portion
of a Note will cease to accrue on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

 

    	22

    	 

    

 

(M)         the
CUSIP and ISIN number(s) of the Notes.

 

(b)          Failure
or Defect. Notwithstanding anything provided elsewhere in the Indenture, neither the failure of the Company to deliver a Fundamental
Change Notice nor a defect in a Fundamental Change Notice delivered by the Company will limit the repurchase rights of any Holder
under this Article 3 or impair or otherwise affect the validity of any proceedings relating to the repurchase of any Note pursuant
to this Article 3.

 

Section
3.03         Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

 

(a)          General.
To exercise its repurchase rights under Section 3.01(a) hereof with respect to any Fundamental Change, a Holder must deliver to
the Paying Agent, on or before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law:

 

(A)         a
duly completed “Form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice” in the form of Attachment 2 of the Notes that
such Holder is tendering for repurchase (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”); and

 

(B)         the
Notes that such Holder is tendering for repurchase, (A) by book-entry transfer if such Notes are Global Notes, or (B) by physical
delivery, if such Notes are Definitive Notes, in each case, together with any endorsements or other documents reasonably requested
by the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Company.

 

(b)          Contents
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice for any Note must state:

 

(i)          if
such Note is to be repurchased in part, the principal amount of such Note to
be repurchased, which principal amount must equal $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

 

(ii)         that
such Note will be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 3 hereof; and

 

(iii)        if
such Note is a Definitive Note, the certificate number of such Note.

 

If the Notes to be repurchased are Global
Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice for such Notes must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

 

(c)          Notice
to Company. If any Holder validly delivers to the Paying Agent a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note
or any portion of a Note, the Paying Agent will promptly deliver to the Company a copy of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

 

(d)          Effect
of Improper Notice. Unless and until the Paying Agent receives a validly endorsed and delivered Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice with respect to a Note, together with such Note, in a form that conforms in all material aspects with the description contained
in such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, the Holder submitting the Notes will not be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price for such Note.

Section
3.04         Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

 

(a)          General.
After a Holder delivers a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may withdraw such Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice with respect to such Note or any portion of such Note in principal amount equal to $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal prior to the Close of Business
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Any such withdrawal notice must state:

 

(i)          the
principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal pertains, which
must equal $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; 

 

(ii)         the
principal amount of the Notes, if any, that remains subject to the original Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must have a principal amount equal to $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

 

(iii)        if
the Notes subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice were
Definitive Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be
withdrawn.

 

If the Notes to be withdrawn are Global
Notes, a Holder must deliver its notice of withdrawal in compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

 

(b)          Return
of Note. Upon receipt of a validly delivered withdrawal notice, the Paying Agent will promptly (i) if such notice pertains
to a Definitive Note or a portion of a Definitive Note, return such Note or portion of a Note to such Holder, in the amount specified
in such withdrawal notice; and, (ii) if such notice pertains to a beneficial interest in a Global Note, in compliance with the
Applicable Procedures, deem to be cancelled any instructions for book-entry transfer of such beneficial interest, in the amount
specified in such withdrawal notice.

 

(c)          Notice
to Company. If any Holder validly delivers to the Paying Agent a notice of withdrawal with respect to a Note or any portion
of a Note, the Paying Agent will promptly deliver to the Company a copy of such notice of withdrawal.

 

Section 3.05         Effect
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

 

(a)          General.
If a Holder validly delivers to the Paying Agent a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements)
with respect to a Note, such Holder may no longer convert such Note unless and until such Holder validly withdraws such Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof.

 

(b)          Timing
of Payment. Promptly following the Paying Agent’s receipt of (i) a valid Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together
with all necessary endorsements) and (ii) the Notes to which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice pertains, the Holder of
the Notes to which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice pertains will be entitled, except to the extent such Holder has validly
withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price with respect to such Notes promptly following the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and (ii)(A) if
such Notes are Definitive Notes, the date of delivery of such Notes to the Paying Agent, or (B) if such Notes are Global Notes,
the date of book-entry transfer of such Notes to the Paying Agent, or, if such later date is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following such later date.

 

    	24

    	 

    

 

(c)          Effect
of Deposit. If, as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for any Fundamental Change,
the Company, in accordance with Section 3.08 hereof, has deposited with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price for all Notes subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice validly delivered in accordance with Section
3.03 hereof and not validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, at the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date:

 

		(1)	the Notes to be repurchased will cease to be outstanding
and interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Notes is made or whether or not such
Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent); and

 

		(2)	all other rights of the Holders of such Notes with respect
to such Notes (other than the right to receive payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery or transfer of
such Notes with respect to the Notes) will terminate.

 

Section 3.06         Notes
Repurchased in Part. If any Definitive Note is to be repurchased only in part, the Holder
must surrender such Note at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by,
or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder of such Note
or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact, duly authorized in writing), whereupon the Company, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof,
will promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, will promptly
authenticate and deliver, to the surrendering Holder, a new Note or Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations requested
by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered which is not
repurchased. If any Global Note is repurchased in part, the Company will instruct the Trustee to decrease the principal amount
of such Global Note by the principal amount repurchased. 

 

Section 3.07         Covenant
to Comply with Securities Laws upon Repurchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase offer pursuant to a Fundamental
Change Notice under this Article 3, the Company will, to the extent applicable, (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and any other
tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may be applicable at the time of the offer to repurchase the Notes, (ii) file the
related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with any United
States federal and state securities laws applicable to any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes.

 

    	25

    	 

    

 

Section 3.08         Deposit
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, will segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.07 hereof) an amount of
immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof that
the Company is required to repurchase on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

 

Section 3.09         Covenant
Not to Repurchase Notes upon Certain Events of Default.

 

(a)          General.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, the Company will not purchase any Notes under this Article 3 if, as
of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, such acceleration has not been
rescinded and such acceleration did not result from a Default that would be cured by the Company’s payment of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price.

 

(b)          Deemed
Withdrawals. If, on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, (i) a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice for a Note has been
validly tendered in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof and has not been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof,
and (ii) pursuant to Section 3.09(a), the Company is not permitted to purchase Notes, the Paying Agent, upon receipt of written
notice from the Company stating that the Company, pursuant to Section 3.09(a), is not permitted to purchase Notes, will deem such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice withdrawn.

 

(c)          Return
of Notes. If a Holder tenders a Note for purchase pursuant to this Article 3 and, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date,
pursuant to Section 3.09(a), the Company is not permitted to purchase such Note, the Paying Agent will (i) if such Note is a Definitive
Note, return such Note to such Holder, and (ii) if such Note is held in book-entry form, in compliance with the Applicable Procedures,
deem to be cancelled any instructions for book-entry transfer of such Note.

COVENANTS

 

Article 4 (Covenants) of the Base Indenture
is hereby supplemented, with respect to the Notes, to add or replace the following covenants, as indicated:

 

Section 4.01         Payment
of Notes. The following covenant replaces Section 4.1 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes:

 

The Company will pay or cause to be paid
the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes on the dates and
in the manner required under this Supplemental Indenture. Any principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest
on, a Note will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds,
as of 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date, money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated
for, and sufficient to pay, such principal, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, or interest then due.

 

    	26

    	 

    

 

Section 4.02         Reports.
The following covenant replaces Section 4.2 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes:

 

The Company will deliver to the Trustee
copies of its annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing
as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe, but excluding any information, documents or reports, or portions thereof subject
to confidential treatment and correspondence with the SEC) that the Company is required to file with the SEC under Sections 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after the Company is required to file such information, documents or other reports
with the SEC (after giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). Any document filed by the
Company with the SEC via the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee at the time
such document is filed via the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto); provided, however, that the Trustee will
have no responsibility whatsoever to determine whether the Company has made any filing via the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto).
The Company will also comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

 

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

 

Section 4.03         Par
Value Limitation. The following covenant is added with respect to the Notes:

 

The Company will not take any action that,
after giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 9.05 or 9.07, would result in the Conversion Price becoming less than
the par value of one share of Common Stock. In addition, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.06
such that the Conversion Price would be less than the par value of one share of Common Stock.

is hereby amended and restated in full, with respect to the Notes, to read as follows:

 

Section 5.01         Company
May Consolidate, Merge or Sell Its Assets Only on Certain Terms. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, (1) consolidate

(b)          immediately
after giving effect to such Reorganization Event, no Default will have occurred and be continuing.

 

Notwithstanding the above, any of the Subsidiaries
may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to the Company.

 

Section 5.02         Successor
Substituted. If any Reorganization Event occurs that complies with Section 5.01(a)(ii) and 5.01(b) hereof, and the Company
has complied with Section 5.03 hereof:

 

(a)          from
and after the date of such Reorganization Event, the Reorganization Successor Corporation will succeed to, and be substituted for,

of Default. Each of the following events will be an “Event of Default”:

any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) when due at maturity, upon
a Fundamental Change, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

 

(ii)         the
Company fails to pay any interest on the Notes when due and

Company fails to comply with its obligations under Article 5 hereof;

 

(vi)        the
Company fails to perform or observe any of its covenants or
warranties in the Indenture or in the Notes (other

and such failure continues for a period of 60 days after (A) the Company receives notice of such failure from the Trustee or (B)
the Company and the Trustee receive written notice of such failure from Holders of
at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes;

 

(vii)       the
default by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with
respect to any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced
any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company and/or any of the Subsidiaries (or the payment of
which is guaranteed by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries), whether such indebtedness or guarantee exists as of the
Issue Date or is later created, if that default:

 

(A)         results
in the acceleration of such indebtedness (prior to its express maturity); or

 

(B)         is
caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace
period provided in such indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”);

 

and, in each case, the principal amount of
any such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default
or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $30,000,000 or more and such acceleration is not annulled within 30
days thereof or such Payment Default continues for 30 days;

 

(viii)      failure
by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to pay final non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction

coverage), which judgments are not paid, discharged, bonded or stayed for a period of 60 days;

 

    	29

    	 

    

 

(ix)         the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or
within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

 

(A)         commences
a voluntary case;

 

(B)         consents
to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

 

(C)         consents
to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially
all of its property; or

 

(D)         makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

 

(x)          a

(A)         is
for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in
an involuntary case;

 

(B)         appoints
a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary,
or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary; or

 

(C)         orders

and, in each such case, the order or decree
remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

 

The Company will, so long as any of the
Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days of becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s
Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto.

 

Section 6.02         Acceleration.

 

(a)          Automatic
Acceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(ix) or 6.01(x) hereof occurs with
respect to the Company (but not any of the Significant Subsidiaries), the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on, all of the then outstanding Notes will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any
party.

 

(b)          Optional
Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(ix) or 6.01(x) hereof with
respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all then outstanding
Notes to be immediately due and payable by delivering written notice to the Company, and upon such declaration, the principal amount
of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all then outstanding Notes will immediately become due and payable.

 

    	30

    	 

    

 

(c)          Rescission
of Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the then outstanding Notes, rescind any acceleration
of the Notes and its consequences hereunder by delivering written notice to the Company and the Trustee if (i) such rescission
would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) any and all existing Events of Default,
other than the nonpayment of the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, the Notes that
has become due solely as a result of acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default.

 

Section 6.03         Other
Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the
payment of principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, the Notes
or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture regarding any other matter.

 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even
if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee
or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default will not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.10 or at the Company’s election with respect to a Reporting
Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.04, no remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

 

Section 6.04         Sole
Remedy for Failure to Report.

 

(a)          General.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes or in the Indenture, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for any Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(vi) hereof relating to the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting obligations
under Section 4.02 hereof (a “Reporting Event of Default”) will, for the period beginning on the date on which
such Reporting Event of Default first occurred (taking into account the 60 day grace period set forth in Section 6.01(vi) hereof)
and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which such Reporting Event of Default is cured or validly waived in accordance with
Section 6.05 hereof and (B) the 365th day immediately following the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred,
consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Special Interest”) on the Notes at a rate
equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes for the first 90 days and at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the
principal amount of the Notes from the 91st day until the 365th day. If the Company elects, the Special Interest will be payable
in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 365th day immediately following,
and including, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred, if the Special Interest has not previously ceased
to accrue, the Special Interest will cease to accrue.

 

    	31

    	 

    

 

(b)          Limitation
on Remedy. If (i) a Reporting Event of Default occurs and the Company elects that the sole remedy with respect to such Reporting
Event of Default will be the payment of Special Interest and (ii) on the 365th day immediately following, and including, the date
on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurred, such Reporting Event of Default has not been cured or validly waived in
accordance with Section 6.05 hereof, then the Notes will become subject to acceleration under Section 6.02(b) hereof on account
of such Reporting Event of Default.

 

(c)          Company
Election Notice. To elect to pay the Special Interest as the sole remedy for a Reporting Event of Default, the Company must
deliver written notice of such election to the Holders, the Paying Agent and the Trustee prior to the date that is 60 days after
the notice of such Reporting Event of Default is given to the Company by the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of outstanding Notes. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder
to determine the Special Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Special Interest owed,
or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Special Interest.

 

If a Reporting Event of Default occurs and
the Company fails to timely deliver such notice for such Reporting Event of Default, the Notes will be subject to acceleration
under Section 6.02(b) hereof on account of such Reporting Event of Default.

 

(d)          Other
Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Company elects to pay the Special Interest with
respect to any Reporting Event of Default, the Company’s election will not affect the rights of any Holder with respect to
any other Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Company be obligated to pay the Special Interest at
a rate greater than 0.50% per annum on the principal amount of then outstanding Notes, regardless of the number of events or circumstances
giving rise to requirements to pay such Special Interest.

 

Section 6.05         Waiver
of Past Defaults. If an Event of Default described in Sections 6.01(i), 6.01(ii), 6.01(iv) or 6.01(vi) (which, in the
case of Section 6.01(vi) only, relates to a covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each affected Holder) or a Default
that would lead to such an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, such Event of Default or Default may be waived only with
the consent of each affected Holder. Every other Event of Default or Default may be waived, and any acceleration of the Notes and
the consequences thereof following any such Event of Default may be rescinded, by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal
amount of then outstanding Notes. Whenever any Event of Default is so waived, it will cease to exist, and whenever any Default
is so waived, it will be deemed cured and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed not to occur. However, no such
waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

 

    	32

    	 

    

 

Section 6.06         Control
by Majority. At any time, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of
then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or for exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow
any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or, subject to Section 7.1 of the Base Indenture, that the Trustee determines
to be unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking
any action hereunder, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused
by taking or not taking such action.

 

Section 6.07         Limitation
on Suits. Except (i) to enforce its rights to receive the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for,
or interest, if any, on, a Note, or (ii) following the failure of the Company to comply with its obligations under Article 9 to
convert any Note, no Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

 

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

 

(b)          the
Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes have made to the Trustee a written request
that the Trustee institute the proceedings with respect to such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture;

 

(c)          such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request;

 

(d)          the
Trustee has failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after its receipt of such written notice, request and offer of
indemnity; and

 

(e)          no
direction, in the opinion of the Trustee, inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day
period by Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

 

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

 

Section 6.08         Rights
of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture,
the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, on, and any consideration due under Article 9 upon conversion of, its Note, on or after the respective due date,
or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment and/or delivery on or after the respective due date, will not be impaired
or affected without the consent of such Holder and will not be subject to the requirements of Section 6.07 hereof.

 

Section 6.09         Collection
Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i), 6.01(ii) or 6.01(iv) hereof occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount of principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, and interest, if any, on, the Notes, and such further
amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection provided for under Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture.

 

    	33

    	 

    

 

Section 6.10         Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, will be entitled to collect, receive
and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee consents to the making
of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the
Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any such
proceeding, will be denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding
whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained will be deemed
to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or to accept or to adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 6.11         Priorities.
Any money and property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 shall be applied in the following order, at the date
or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money and property to Holders, upon presentation of the
Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys
for amounts due under Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred,
and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

 

SECOND: to the Holders, for any amounts
due and unpaid on the principal of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on,
and any cash in lieu of fractional shares due upon the conversion of, any Note, without preference or priority of any kind, according
to such amounts due and payable on all of the Notes; and

 

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

 

Section 6.12         Undertaking
for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the 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 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 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Company, the Trustee, a suit by
a Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

Article 8 (Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance)
of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full, with respect to the Notes, to read as follows:

 

Section 7.01         Discharge
of Liability on Notes. When (a)(i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Notes (other than
Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable,
whether at the Maturity Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or upon conversion or otherwise, and the Company irrevocably
deposits with the Trustee or delivers to the Holders, as applicable, cash or U.S. government obligations and/or shares of Common
Stock and cash (in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock) (solely to satisfy amounts due and owing as a result of conversions
of the Notes), sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section
2.10 hereof), (b) the Company pays all other sums payable by it under the Indenture with respect to the then outstanding Notes
and (c) upon demand of the Company, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all of the applicable conditions precedent to the discharge of the Indenture described in this section have been
satisfied, then, subject to Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture, the Indenture will cease to be of further effect with respect to
the Notes and the Holders and the Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the
Notes.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge
of the Indenture, (i) any obligation of the Company to any Holder under Article 9 hereof with respect to the conversion of any
Note or to the Trustee under Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture with respect to compensation or indemnity, and (ii) any obligation
of the Trustee with respect to money deposited with the Trustee under this Article 7 and Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture, will
survive.

 

Section 7.02         Repayment
to the Company. Subject to any applicable unclaimed property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, upon receiving
a written request from the Company, will promptly turn over to the Company any cash or securities, including shares of Common Stock,
held for payment on the Notes that remains unclaimed two years after the date on which such payment was due. After the Trustee
and the Paying Agent return such cash and securities, including shares of the Common Stock, to the Company, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent will have no further liability to any Holder with respect to such cash and securities, including shares of Common
Stock, and any Holder entitled to the payment of such cash or securities, including shares of Common Stock, under the Notes or
the Indenture must look to the Company for payment as a general creditor of the Company.

the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, as supplemented by the Pricing Term Sheet, as evidenced in an Officer’s Certificate
or supplemental indenture.

 

Section 8.02         With
Consent of Holders. With the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender
offer or exchange offer for, Notes), by Act of such Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized
by a Board Resolution, may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes, or waive any past Default or Event of Default or compliance
with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes; provided, however, that, without the consent of each affected Holder,
no amendment or supplement to the Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of the Indenture or the Notes, may:

 

    	36

of the Indenture or a waiver of a past Default.

 

It will not be necessary for the consent
of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or modification, but it will be
sufficient if such consent approves the substance of such proposed amendment or modification.

 

Section 8.03         Execution
of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the request of the Company, the Trustee will sign any supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 8 if the amendment contained therein does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of
the Trustee under the Indenture. If the supplemental indenture adversely affects the Trustee’s rights, duties, liabilities
or immunities under the Indenture, then the Trustee may, but need not, sign such supplemental indenture. In executing any such
supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be provided with, and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 of the Base Indenture,
will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such
supplemental indenture is authorized and permitted under the Indenture and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

 

    	37

    	 

    

 

Section 8.04         Notices
of Supplemental Indentures. After an amendment or supplement to this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes pursuant
to Sections 8.01 or 8.02 hereof becomes effective, the Company will promptly deliver written notice to the Trustee, which notice
will briefly describe such amendment or supplement to the Indenture and state the effective date of such amendment or supplement.
The Company, or the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, will then promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each Holder.
The failure to deliver such notice to each Holder, or any defect in such notice, will not impair or affect the validity of such
amendment or supplement to the Indenture.

 

Section 8.05         Effect
of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 8:

 

(a)          the
Indenture will be modified in accordance therewith;

 

(b)          such
supplemental indenture will form a part of the Indenture for all purposes; and

 

(c)          every
Holder of Notes theretofore, or thereafter, authenticated and delivered hereunder will be bound thereby.

 

Section 8.06         Revocation
and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions.

 

(a)          Revocation.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder,
and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note,
even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder, or subsequent Holder, may revoke the consent
as to its Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective.

 

(b)          Regular
Record Dates. The Company may, but is not obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled
to give their consent or take any other action described above or required, or permitted, to be taken pursuant to the Indenture.
If a record date is fixed, then those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only
those persons, will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, regardless
of whether such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent will be valid or effective for more than
120 days after such record date.

 

(c)          Binding
Effect. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every applicable Holder. Any amendment or
supplement will become effective in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture relating thereto, which will become
effective upon the execution thereof by the Trustee.

 

Section 8.07         Notation
on, or Exchange of, Notes. If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the
terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an
appropriate notation on such Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee
so determines, the Company, in exchange for the Note, will issue and the Trustee will authenticate a new Note that reflects the
changed terms.

CONVERSIONS

 

Section 9.01         Right
to Convert.

 

(a)          In
General. Subject to, and upon compliance with, the provisions of this Article 9, until the Close of Business on the Business
Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, a Holder may, at its option, convert all of its Notes, or any portion of its Notes
having a principal amount equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, into a number of shares of Common
Stock and an amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock, all as determined in accordance with Section 9.03 hereof.
Notes may not be converted after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

 

(b)          Closed
Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, if a Holder tenders a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
with respect to its Notes in accordance with Article 3 hereof, such Notes may not be converted except to the extent (A) such Notes
are not subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice; (B) such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance
with Article 3 hereof; or (C) the Company fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Notes in accordance with
Section 3.08 hereof.

 

Section 9.02         Conversion
Procedures.

 

(a)          General.
To exercise its conversion right with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the owner of such beneficial interest
must (i) comply with the Applicable Procedures for converting such beneficial interest; (ii) pay any funds equal to interest payable
on the next Interest Payment Date that such Holder is required to pay under clause (d) of this Section 9.02; and (iii) pay any
transfer or similar taxes or duties that such Holder is required to pay under the proviso to clause (e) of this Section 9.02.

 

To exercise its conversion right with respect
to a Definitive Note, the Holder of such Note must (i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice in the form of Attachment
1 to the Note, or a facsimile of such conversion notice (such notice, or such facsimile, the “Conversion Notice”);
(ii) deliver such signed and completed Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and such Note to the Conversion Agent at its office;
(iii) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company, Conversion Agent, Trustee or Transfer Agent may require;
(iv) pay any funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date that such Holder is required to pay under clause
(d) of this Section 9.02; and (v) pay any transfer or similar taxes or duties that such Holder is required to pay under the proviso
to clause (e) of this Section 9.02.

 

The first Business Day on which a Holder
satisfies the foregoing requirements with respect to a Note and on which conversion of such Note is not otherwise prohibited under
the Indenture will be the “Conversion Date” for such Note.

 

    	39

    	 

    

 

The conversion of any Note will be deemed
to occur at the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such Note, and any converted Note or portion thereof will cease to
be outstanding upon conversion.

 

(b)          Holder
of Record. If a Holder surrenders the entire principal amount of a Note for conversion, such person will no longer be the Holder
of such Note as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such Note.

 

Upon the conversion of a Note, the person
in whose name such shares of Common Stock will be registered will become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock at
the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such Note.

 

(c)          Conversions
in Part. If a Holder surrenders only a portion of the principal amount of a Definitive Note for conversion, promptly after
the Conversion Date for such portion, the Company will, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, execute and deliver to the Trustee,
and the Trustee will, upon receipt of a Company Order, in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof, authenticate and deliver to such
Holder a new Definitive Note in an authorized denomination, having a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
the unconverted portion of the Definitive Note surrendered for conversion and bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously
outstanding.

 

Upon the conversion of any beneficial interest
in a Global Note, the Conversion Agent will promptly request that the Trustee make a notation on the “Schedule of Increases
and Decreases of Global Note” of such Global Note to reduce the principal amount represented by such Global Note by the principal
amount of the converted beneficial interest. If all of the beneficial interests in a Global Note are so converted, such Global
Note will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause such Global Note to be cancelled in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

 

(d)          
Reimbursement of Interest upon Conversion. If a Holder converts a Note after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date,
but prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, such Holder must accompany
such Note with an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest, if any, that will be payable on such Note on the corresponding
Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that a Holder need not make such payment (A) for conversions following
the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (B) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment
Date and the Holder converts its Note after the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Open of Business
on such Interest Payment Date; or (C) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion
with respect to such Note.

 

(e)          Taxes
and Duties. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on
the issue of any shares of the Common Stock upon the conversion; provided, however, that if any tax is due because
the converting Holder requested that shares of Common Stock be issued in a name other than its own, such Holder will pay any such
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax and the Conversion Agent, until having received a sum sufficient to pay such
tax, may refuse to deliver any certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than that of such
Holder.

 

    	40

    	 

    

 

(f)          Notices.
Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Note, the Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in no event later
than the Business Day immediately following such Conversion Date, deliver to the Company and the Trustee notice that a Conversion
Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date
and the names of the Holders that converted Notes on such Conversion Date.

 

Section 9.03         Conversion
Obligation.

 

(a)          Conversion
Obligation. Except as set forth in Sections 9.07 and 9.08 hereof, if a Holder surrenders all or a portion of a Note for conversion,
the Company will deliver to such Holder, on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for such Note, (i)
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (A)(x) the aggregate principal amount of such Note to be converted divided
by (y) $1,000 and (B) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number, and
(ii) an amount of cash equal to the product of (A) the fraction of a share of Common Stock eliminated by such rounding and (B)
the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Conversion Date (or if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the
immediately preceding Trading Day).

 

(b)          Conversion
of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder. If a Holder converts more than one Note on a single Conversion Date, the number of shares
of Common Stock that the Company will deliver to the converting Holder, and the amount of cash that the Company will pay to such
Holder in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock, will be computed based on the total principal amount of Notes converted on
such Conversion Date by such Holder.

 

(c)          Settlement
of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will not make any separate cash
payment or adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, and the Company’s delivery
of the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount of cash that the Company will pay to such Holder in lieu of fractional shares
of Common Stock, if any, into which a Note is convertible will be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the Company’s obligation
to pay the principal of such Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Date;
provided, however, that if a Holder converts a Note after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date and prior
to the Open of Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will still be obligated to pay the interest due
on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date.

 

As a result, except as otherwise provided
in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to a converted Note will be
deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

 

    	41

    	 

    

 

Section 9.04         Common
Stock Issued upon Conversion.

 

(a)          Prior
to issuing of any shares of Common Stock under this Article 9, and from time to time thereafter as may be necessary, the Company
will reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit
the conversion of the Notes.

 

(b)          Any
shares of Common Stock delivered upon the conversion of the Notes will be newly issued shares or treasury shares, duly and validly
issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any
lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder or other person to whom such shares of Common Stock will
be delivered). In addition, the Company will endeavor to comply promptly with all federal and state securities laws regulating
the offer and delivery of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. The Company will also use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note to be listed on whatever stock exchange(s)
the Common Stock is listed on the date the converting Holder becomes a record holder of such Common Stock.

 

Section 9.05         Adjustment
of Conversion Rate. The Company will adjust the Conversion Rate from time to time as described in this Section
9.05.

 

(a)          Stock
Dividends and Share Splits. If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the outstanding
Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split of the Common Stock or a share combination of the Common Stock, the Conversion
Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

  

 

Where:

 

	 	CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
	 	 	 	 
	 	CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such Effective Date;
	 	 	 	 
	 	OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such Effective Date; and
	 	 	 	 
	 	OS1	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

 

    	42

    	 

    

 

If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this
Section 9.05(a) is declared, but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date
that the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect
if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.

 

Any adjustment made under this clause (a) shall become effective
immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open
of Business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable.

 

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

 

 

Where:

 

	 	CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
	 	 	 	 
	 	CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
	 	 	 	 
	 	OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
	 	 	 	 
	 	X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
	 	 	 	 
	 	Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by (ii) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

 

Any increase made under this Section 9.05(b) will be made successively
whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights,
options or warrants, including because the issued rights, options or warrants were not exercised, the Conversion Rate will be decreased
to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants
been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or
warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate will be immediately decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect
if the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

 

    	43

    	 

    

 

For purposes of this Section 9.05(b), in
determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for, or purchase, shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive
Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for an issuance, and in determining
the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received by the
Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, the value of such consideration, if other
than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

 

(c)          Spin-Offs
and Other Distributed Property.

 

(i)          If
the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences
of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company,
or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of
the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all
holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

 

(A)         dividends,
distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to
Section 9.05(a) hereof or Section 9.05(b) hereof,
as applicable;

 

(B)         dividends
or distributions paid exclusively in cash; 

 

(C)         distributions
of Reference Property in a transaction described in Section 9.08(a); and

 

(D)         Spin-Offs
for which the provisions set forth in Section 9.05(c)(ii) hereof will
apply,

 

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

 

 

Where:

 

	 	CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
	 	 	 	 
	 	CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

    	44

    	 

    

 

	 	SP0	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
	 	 	 	 
	 	FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV”
(as defined above) is equal to or greater than the “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase,
each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held on the Record Date for the distribution, at the same time
and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness,
assets, property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities that such Holder would
have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record
Date for such distribution.

 

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

 

(ii)         With
respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9.05(c) where there has been a payment of a
dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares
of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar
equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business
unit of the Company, and such Capital Stock or similar equity
interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted
upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”),
the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

 

 

Where:

 

	 	CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off;
	 	 	 	 
	 	CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-Off;

 

    	45

    	 

    

 

	 	FMV0	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Effective Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
	 	 	 	 
	 	MP0	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

 

If, however, the Conversion Date for a Note
occurs after the Record Date for a Spin-Off, but on or prior to the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for such Spin-off,
the Conversion Date will be postponed until the Business Day immediately following such Trading Day (and the definition of “FMV0”
will be modified pursuant to the immediately following proviso); and provided, further, that if the Conversion Date
for a Note occurs after the first Trading Day of the Valuation Period for a Spin-Off, but during the Valuation Period, the reference
in the above definition of “FMV0” to “10” will be deemed replaced with such lesser number of
Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Effective Date of such Spin-Off to, but excluding, such Conversion Date.

 

(d)          Tender
Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of the Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange
offer for the Common Stock (other than an odd lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration
included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next
succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (such last date,
the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

 

 

Where:

 

	 	CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
	 	 	 	 
	 	CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date;
	 	 	 	 
	 	AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer;
	 	 	 	 
	 	OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration time on the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer);

 

    	46

    	 

    

 

	 	OS1	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration time on the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer); and
	 	 	 	 
	 	SP1	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

 

Any increase made under this clause (d)
will become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the
Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. If, however, the Conversion Date for a Note occurs on or after the Expiration
Date and on or prior to the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, the Conversion Date for such Note will be postponed
until the first Business Day immediately following such Trading Day (and the reference in the above definition of “SP1”
to “10” and the references in the above definitions of “CR0” and “CR1”
to “10th” will be modified pursuant to the immediately following proviso); provided, further, that if the Conversion
Date for a Note occurs after the first Trading Day during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading
Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, but on or prior to the last Trading Day of such period, the reference in the above definition
of “SP1” to “10” and the references in the above definitions of “CR0”
and “CR1” to “10th” shall be deemed replaced with references to such lesser number of Trading
Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, but excluding such Conversion
Date.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in any case in which the foregoing subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 9.05 require that an adjustment be
made to the Conversion Rate, in lieu of the adjustment, the Company may, at its option, distribute to Holders of Notes, concurrently
with the distribution to the Holders of the Common Stock (and without having to convert), such shares of the Common Stock, rights,
options, warrants, any shares of the Capital Stock (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets
(or the fair market value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, of the foregoing in cash) that such Holders of Notes
would have been entitled to receive had such Notes been converted immediately prior to the Record Date relating to the event that
would have caused such adjustment.

 

(f)          Successive
Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article 9, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment
under this Article 9 will cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so adjusted, without duplication.

 

(g)          Shareholder
Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect when a Holder converts a Note, the Company will deliver
to such Holder, in addition to each share of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such Holder upon conversion of such Note, any rights
that, under the rights plan, would be applicable to a share of Common Stock, unless prior to the Conversion Date for such Note,
the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant
to Section 9.05(c)(i) as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had distributed to all Holders of the Common Stock shares
of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to
acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities as described in Section 9.05(c)(i), subject to readjustment in the
event of the expiration or termination of such rights.

 

    	47

    	 

    

 

(h)          Other
Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Supplemental Indenture requires the calculation of the Last Reported Sale Price
or a function thereof over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to the Last Reported Sale Price
or such function thereof to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend date, Effective Date or expiration date of the event occurs at any time
during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices or functions thereof are to be calculated. In addition, if the Ex-Dividend
Date or the expiration date for any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate occurs before the date on which the Last
Reported Sale Price or function thereof is to be calculated, but the event does not give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate until after such date, the Company will make an appropriate adjustment to the relevant calculation to account for such event.

 

(i)          Restrictions
on Adjustments. Except as provided in this Section 9.05, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of
shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase
shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. Without limiting the foregoing, the Conversion Rate
will not be adjusted:

 

(i)          upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future
plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s
securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under
any plan;

 

(ii)         upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights
to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant
benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company
or any of the Subsidiaries;

 

(iii)        upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable,
exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding clause and outstanding as
of the Issue Date;

 

(iv)        for
a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

 

(v)         for
accrued and unpaid interest.

 

(j)          Deferral
of Adjustments. Adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share, with
five one-hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., 0.76545 would be rounded up to 0.7655).

 

(k)          Calculation
of Adjustments.         No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be required
unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that if an
adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the conversion rate by at least 1%, then such adjustment will be
carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon any conversion of the
Notes and (ii) annually, on the anniversary of the original Issue Date, the Company will give effect to all adjustments that it
has otherwise deferred pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and those adjustments will no longer be carried forward
and taken into account in any future adjustment.

 

    	48

    	 

    

 

(l)          Certain
Definitions. 

 

(A)         For
purposes of this Section 9.05, the term “Effective Date” will mean the first date on which the shares of the
Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, reflecting the relevant share split or
share combination, as applicable.

 

(B)         For
purposes of this Section 9.05, the term “Ex-Dividend Date” will mean the first date on which the shares of the
Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive the issuance,
dividend or distribution in question.

 

(C)         For
purposes of this Section 9.05, the term “Record Date” means, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other
transaction or event in which the holders of the Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property
or in which 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 holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive such cash, securities or
other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors, statute, contract or otherwise).

 

Section 9.06         Voluntary
Adjustments.

 

(a)          Best
Interest Increases. Subject to the limitations of Section 9.06(d) hereof, the Company may, from time to time, to the extent
permitted by law, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is in
the best interest of the Company, (ii) such increase is in effect for a period of at least 20 Business Days, and (iii) during such
period, such increase is irrevocable.

 

(b)          Tax-Related
Increases. Subject to the limitations of Section 9.06(d) hereof and to the extent permitted by law, the Company may (but is
not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid, or diminish, any income tax imposed on holders of the Common Stock or rights
to purchase shares of the Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar
event treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

(c)          Notices.
Whenever the Board of Directors determines that the Company will increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 9.06, the
Company will deliver to the Trustee and each Holder written notice of such increase at least 15 Business Days before such increase
will take effect.

 

(d)          Voluntary
Actions. The Company will not take any voluntary action that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant
to Sections 9.05, 9.06 and 9.07 without complying, if applicable, with the stockholder approval rules of The New York Stock Exchange
or any similar rule of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed at the relevant time. In accordance with such listing
standards, this restriction will apply at any time when the Notes are outstanding, regardless of whether the Company then has a
class of securities listed on The New York Stock Exchange.

Section 9.07         Adjustments
upon Certain Fundamental Changes.

 

(a)          General.
If a Fundamental Change (determined after giving effect to the paragraph immediately following clause (iv) of the definition thereof,
but without regard to the exclusion in clause (ii) of the definition thereof) occurs (a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”),
and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will, in the circumstances
described in this Section 9.07, increase the Conversion Rate for such Notes by the number of additional shares of Common Stock
(the “Additional Shares”) described in this Section 9.07. For purposes of this Section 9.07, a conversion of
Notes will be deemed to be “in connection with” a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the Conversion Notice for such Notes
is received by the Conversion Agent during the period beginning on, and including, the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective
Date and ending on, and including, (A) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is also a Fundamental Change, the later of (x) the
Close of Business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and (y) the Close of
Business on the 35th Business Day immediately following the date the Company delivers notice to each Holder of such Make-Whole
Fundamental Change pursuant to this Section 9.07, and (B) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is not a Fundamental Change, the
Close of Business on the 35th Business Day immediately following the date the Company delivers notice to each Holder of such Make-Whole
Fundamental Change pursuant to this Section 9.07.

 

The Company will notify Holders of the anticipated
effective date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such anticipated effective date no later
than 10 Business Days immediately prior to such anticipated effective date; provided, however, that if the Company does not have
knowledge of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or its anticipated effective date at such time, the Company will issue such press
release as promptly as practicable following the date on which the Company becomes aware of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change
and its anticipated effective date, but in no event later than 5 Business Days immediately following the actual effective date
of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

 

(b)          Determination
of Additional Shares. The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased if a Holder converts a
Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change will be determined by reference to the table below, and will be based on
the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price paid (or deemed paid) per share of our Common Stock in the
Make-Whole Fundamental Change. For any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date”
will mean the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

 

    	50

    	 

    

 

(c)          Adjustment
of Stock Prices and Additional Shares. The Stock Prices set forth in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the
table below will be adjusted on each date on which the Conversion Rate must be adjusted pursuant to Section 9.05. The adjusted
Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator
of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment, and (ii)
the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the adjustment. The numbers of Additional Shares set
forth in the table below will be adjusted in the same manner, at the same time and for the same events for which the Conversion
Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof.

 

(d)          Additional
Shares Table. The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for a Holder that converts a Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change having
such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and Stock Price.

(e)          Use
of Additional Shares Table. If the Stock Price and/or Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date for a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change are not set forth in the table above, then:

 

(1)   if
the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Make-Whole
Fundamental Change Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased
for a Holder that converts a Note in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change will be determined by a straight-line interpolation
between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices listed in the table and the earlier and
later Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates listed in the table, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

 

(2)   if
the Stock Price is greater than $45.00, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings
of the table, no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate; and

 

(3)   if
the Stock Price is less than $14.80, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings
of the table, no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.

 

    	51

    	 

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion
Rate be increased as a result of this Section 9.07 to exceed 67.5676 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes,
subject to adjustment in the same manner, at the same time and for the same events for which the Conversion Rate must be adjusted
as set forth in Section 9.05 hereof.

 

(f)          Settlement
or Conversion. Except as provided in Section 9.08 hereof, if a Holder converts a Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change, the Company will settle such conversion by delivering, on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date
for such Note, a number of shares of Common Stock and an amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock in accordance
with Section 9.03 hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.03 hereof, if a
Holder converts a Note in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (ii) of the definition of Fundamental
Change in which the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in consideration for their shares of Common Stock, the Company
will settle such conversion by delivering to such Holder, on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for
such Note, an amount of cash, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Note converted, equal to the product of (i) the Conversion
Rate on the Conversion Date applicable to such Note (including any Additional Shares added to such Conversion Rate pursuant to
this Section 9.07) and (ii) the Stock Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

 

Section 9.08         Effect
of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

 

(a)          General.
If any of the following events occur:

 

(1)         any
recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination
or change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value);

 

(2)         any
consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;

 

(3)         any
sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries substantially as
an entirety; or

 

(4)         any
statutory share exchange;

 

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be
converted into, or exchanged for, Capital Stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination
thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the
right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into shares of Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common
Stock will be changed into the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock,
other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive in
exchange for its shares of Common Stock upon such Merger Event (the “Reference Property”, together with an amount
of cash in lieu of any fractional units of Reference Property based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property). Prior to or
at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute
with the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof providing for such change in the right to convert each
$1,000 principal amount of Notes.

 

    	52

    	 

    

 

If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock
to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part
upon any form of shareholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to
be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make
such an election. The Company shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is
made.

 

As promptly as practicable after executing
a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 9.08(a) hereof, the Company will (i) file with the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate briefly describing the reasons therefor, the composition of a Unit of Reference Property for such Merger Event, any
adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent under the Indenture to such Merger Event have been
complied with; and (ii) cause to be sent to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the register of the Notes
maintained by the Registrar, a notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture and the composition of a Unit of Reference
Property for such Merger Event; provided, that the failure to deliver such notice to any Holder will not affect the validity
or legality of such supplemental indenture.

 

(b)          Successive
Merger Events. If more than one Merger Event occurs, this Section 9.08 will apply successively to each Merger Event.

 

(c)          Compliance
Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 9.08.

 

Section 9.09         Notice
to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.

 

(a)          In
case of any Merger Event then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the
Trustee) and to be sent to each Holder at its address appearing on the Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least
20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken
for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of the Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which
the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Issuer or one of the Subsidiaries,
(ii) the date on which such Merger Event is expected to become effective or occur, (iii) the Conversion Rate in effect as
of the date the Company delivers such notice, (iv) the composition of a Unit of Reference Property for such Merger Event and (v)
if applicable, 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 Merger Event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of the Subsidiaries.

 

    	53

    	 

    

 

(b)          Whenever
the Company adjusts the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.05 (other than the issuance of dividends in the form of Common Stock),
the Company will promptly deliver to each Holder a written notice, which notice will include (i) a brief description of the event
requiring adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.05, (ii) the effective date of such adjustment, (iii) the Conversion
Rate in effect after such adjustment is made and (iv) and the manner of computing such adjustment. On the same day the Company
delivers such notice to each Holder, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent an Officer’s
Certificate that includes all of the information contained in such notice, which Officer’s Certificate each of the Trustee,
the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent may treat as conclusive evidence that the adjustment specified in such Officer’s
Certificate is correct and will be in effect as of the effective date specified in such Officer’s Certificate. The failure
to deliver such notice will not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

 

Section 9.10         No
Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent will not have any duty or responsibility to any
Holder to determine whether any facts exist that require an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or
extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. Neither the
Trustee nor the Conversion Agent will be responsible for any failure of the Company to deliver the number of shares of Common Stock
and any amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock due upon the surrender of any Notes for the purpose of conversion
or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 9. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent will be under any responsibility to determine the
correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 9.08 hereof, including with
respect to the calculation of the amount of cash and the number of Units of Reference Property, if any, receivable by Holders upon
the conversion of their Notes after any Merger Event, and each, subject to the provisions of Article 6, may accept as conclusive
evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and will be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which
the Company will be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect
thereto.

 

ARTICLE
10

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Article 10 (Miscellaneous) of the Base Indenture
is hereby supplemented, with respect to the Notes, to add the following:

 

Section 10.01         No
Personal Liability of Shareholders, Employees, Officers or Directors. None of the Company’s, or of any successor
entity’s, direct or indirect shareholders, employees, officers or directors, as such, past, present or future, shall have
any personal liability in respect of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture of the Notes solely by reason of his,
her or its status as such shareholder, employee, officer or director.

 

Section 10.02         Calculations.
Except as otherwise provided in this Supplemental Indenture, the Company or our agents will be responsible for making all calculations
called for under the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations
of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock or any other security, accrued interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion
Rate in effect on any Conversion Date. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent will be responsible for making any such calculations.

 

    	54

    	 

    

 

The Company or its agents will make these
calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Company or
its agents will provide a schedule of its calculations to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Trustee
and Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent
verification. If any Holder requests from the Trustee a copy of such schedule, the Trustee will promptly forward a copy of such
schedule to such Holder.

 

Section 10.03         Legal
Holidays. If the Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or Conversion Date is not
a Business Day, then any action to be taken on such date need not be taken on such date, but may be taken on the immediately following
Business Day with the same force and effect as if taken on such date, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after
such date.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

VECTOR GROUP LTD.

 

Variable Interest Convertible Senior Notes
due 2019

 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue
of notes of Vector Group Ltd. (the “Company”), designated as its Variable Interest Convertible Senior Notes
due 2019 (the “Notes”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of the Issue
Date (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”),
as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of the Issue Date (the “Supplemental Indenture”
and the Base Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company
and the Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders. Capitalized terms
used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture, and the terms of the Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those incorporated into the Indenture.

 

1.          Interest.

 

This Note will bear cash interest at an
annual rate of 2.50% (the “Fixed Interest”), with an additional amount of cash interest payable on the Notes
on each Interest Payment Date equal to the product of (i) the total amount of cash dividends and cash distributions per share actually
paid by the Company on the Common Stock during the prior three-month period ending on the Record Date for such interest payment
and (ii) the total number of shares of the Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible on such Record Date (the “Dividend
Interest,” together with the Fixed Interest, the “Total Interest”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, the interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will be the higher of (i) the Total Interest and (ii) 7.50% per annum.
Interest on this Note will accrue from the Issue Date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided
for. Each payment of cash interest on this Note will include interest accrued for the period commencing on and including the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date) through the day before the applicable Interest Payment Date.

 

In addition, if the Notes would otherwise
constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, on each Interest Payment Date on or after January 15, 2018, the Company will pay additional interest
on a Note in an amount equal to the amount required to be paid to prevent such Note from being treated as an applicable high yield
discount obligation.

 

Payments of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price, principal and interest that are not made when due will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the then-applicable interest
rate plus one percent from the applicable payment date.

 

Pursuant to Section 6.04 of the Indenture,
in certain circumstances, the Company will pay Special Interest on this Note.

  

    	4

    	 

    

 

2.          Method

    	11Code of Ethics

 

OVERVIEW

 

MicroChannel Technologies Corporation (“MicroChannel”)
has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all Officers, Directors, and Employees of the company and its affiliates (herein collectively
referred to as, “Employee” or “Employees”). 

 

In so doing, this Code of Ethics demands the highest standards
of business conduct required of all Employees. 

 

The Code is part of MicroChannel’s ongoing effort to comply
with applicable laws and have an effective program in place to prevent and detect violations of law; this code is an effort to
train and educate MicroChannel Employees about ethical business practices.

 

OBJECTIVE

 

A key MicroChannel objective is to conduct business operations
in the most ethical manner possible. MicroChannel cares about its Employees, shareholders, clients, suppliers and the communities
in which it conducts business operations. During the course of meeting its business objectives, MicroChannel believes that it is
essential for all Employees to understand and comply with the Code of Ethics and in so doing, participate in MicroChannel’s
way of operating its business.

 

STANDARD OF CONDUCT

 

MicroChannel insists that all aspects of its business operations
be conducted with honesty, integrity, fairness and with respect for those affected by its business activities. Similarly, MicroChannel
expects the same in its relationships among those with whom it does business.

 

All Employees are expected to maintain and promote integrity
and honesty in all business transactions. Employees must conduct themselves according to the highest ethical standards and are
expected to apply ethical business practices in the administrative and financial affairs of MicroChannel business operations.

 

There is no Code of Ethics that can expect to define suitable
behavior for each situation, nor should it seek to do so. As such, Employees are expected to exercise vigilance and make considered
judgment of what is right and proper in any particular situation.

 

While carrying out the business operations of MicroChannel,
Employees are expected to be accountable, truthful, trustworthy, conscientious, and committed to the highest standards of ethical
business practices. As such, Employees are required to avoid all impropriety as well as the appearance of impropriety when conducting
MicroChannel business operations.

 

ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF ACCOUNTING RECORDS

 

MicroChannel’s accounting and supporting documents must
accurately and completely describe and represent the nature and result of MicroChannel’s business operations. The results
and activities of MicroChannel’s operations must be presented in a fair and unbiased manner.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

MicroChannel business transactions must be appropriately authorized
as well as completely and accurately recorded on the Company’s books. Proposed budgets, financial assessments, evaluations
and fiscal presentations must fairly present all information relevant to the business transaction. Furthermore, at no time will
the Company establish or maintain cash funds or asset accounts which are unrecorded.

 

Misappropriation, wrongful allocation, or improper use of the
Company’s assets and property, or the false entry to records and reports by any Employee or by others must be reported to
Board of MicroChannel.

 

ACCURATE AND TIMELY COMMUNICATION

 

MicroChannel expects Employees to be completely truthful and
forthright in all internal and external interactions and communications, whether with shareholders, clients, government agencies,
or others.

 

Employees will ensure that all statements are accurate and complete
with no misrepresentations which may mislead or misinform. In all cases, Employees are expected to provide full, prompt and accurate
disclosure to governmental agencies.

 

MAINTAINING AND RETAINING RECORDS

 

In order to maintain the security and integrity of MicroChannel’s
record-keeping and reporting systems, all Employees must adhere to applicable records retention procedures and fully understand
how to document and transact entries that fall within their jurisdiction.

 

All Employees are expected to comply fully with audits and provide
timely response to requests for records or other materials from or on behalf of MicroChannel auditors or management.

 

COMPLYING WITH THE LAW

 

MicroChannel Employees are expected to fully comply with both
the letter and the spirit of the laws and regulations of the countries in which the Company conducts business.

 

MicroChannel Employees are expected to act in accordance with
the accepted business practices in commercial markets and adhere to the contractual terms and conditions applicable to any business
transaction.

 

All Employees must commit to abiding by all applicable laws
and regulations.

 

The breach of rules, regulations, ethical standards, and laws
cannot be justified by the pursuit of profit or the departure from acceptable practice by competitors.

 

INSIDER TRADING

 

MicroChannel Employees are strictly prohibited by law from buying
or selling the Company’s shares or any other public security as a result of inside information.

 

Furthermore, it is against the law and unethical to provide
such information about MicroChannel to other individuals or companies so that they may gain.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

In accordance with the Code of Ethics, Employees are strictly
prohibited from trading in shares of MicroChannel, clients or suppliers as a result of any inside information.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

 

MicroChannel is committed to running its business in an environmentally
sound and sustainable manner. MicroChannel’s objective is to ensure that its business operations have the minimum adverse
environmental impact commensurate with the legitimate needs of its business operations.

 

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INTEREST

 

MicroChannel Employees are expected to fully disclose any personal
interest(s) which could impinge or might reasonably be considered by others to conflict with their business dealings with industry.

 

MicroChannel Employees must not engage in personal activities
and financial interests that may conflict with their responsibilities and obligations to the Company or give assistance to competitors,
in conflict with the interests of MicroChannel or its clients.

 

Under all circumstances, Employees must obtain the formal consent
of MicroChannel management if they intend to become partners, shareholders, or Directors, or participants in companies outside
the MicroChannel corporate structure.

 

PERSONAL DISCRETION AND CONFIDENTIALITY

 

At all times, Employees are expected to respect the confidentiality
of information received during the course of business dealings and must never use such information for personal benefit or gain.

 

Employees are expected to give information during the course
of business which is truthful, complete and fair and never intended to mislead.

Employees cannot disclose MicroChannel trade secrets, confidential
or proprietary information, or any other such information without the written, formal authorization of management. Such information
may not be disclosed as a means of making profit, gains or benefits.

 

At no time can Employees use Internet bulletin boards, chat
rooms, messaging services, or other electronic systems to discuss issues, affairs, or opinions related to MicroChannel or any of
its industries, or to respond to comments about the Company. MicroChannel considers electronic postings to be the same as “speaking
to the media”.

 

FAIR COMPETITION

 

MicroChannel is committed to vigorous yet fair competition and
supports the development of appropriate competition laws. Each Employee must avoid any business arrangement that might prevent
the effective operation of fair competition.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPANY’S CODE OF ETHICS

 

MicroChannel’s Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring
that the standards outlined in the Code of Ethics are fully communicated to all Employees and are similarly understood and adhered
to.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

Should the Company experience loss of business as a result of
adhering to the Code of Ethics, the Board of Directors will not criticize, condemn or complain.

 

Likewise, should a real or suspected breach of the Company’s
Code of Ethics be brought to the attention of the Company, the Board of Directors will ensure that the reporting Employee does
not suffer as a consequence of doing so.

 

The Company’s Code of Ethics are reflective of MicroChannel’s
ethical standards and expectations. Accordingly, Employees are expected to fulfill the Company’s ethical commitments in a
way that is clearly visible to all those with whom MicroChannel conducts its business.

 

At all times, Employees are expected to fully comply with the
standards established in the Code of Ethics and ensure that their personal conduct is always above reproach.

 

MicroChannel expects each Employee to ensure that the conduct
of others around him or her is in compliance with the Code of Ethics and that any breach of the same is duly reported to management.

 

All breaches of the law or violations of regulations and the
standards of conduct listed in this Code of Ethics may lead to serious consequences for the Employee concerned; MicroChannel Employees
have a legal, moral, and ethical duty to report any such real or suspected violation to the Board of Directors and regulatory authorities.

 

“CODE OF ETHICS” ENFORCEMENT

 

MicroChannel Employees understand and acknowledge that a breach
of the Code of Ethics can result in severe disciplinary action, including but not necessarily limited to termination.

 

The Company’s Code of Ethics will be fairly enforced at
all levels, without prejudice.

 

ANNUAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

 

Each Employee will be required to sign a statement annually
that he or she has read and understands MicroChannel’s Code of Ethics. This statement will also require that the Employee
state that he or she is in full compliance with the Code.

 

EMPLOYEE CERTIFICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

information set forth in the Code of Ethics of MicroChannel Technologies, Inc. and will comply with these principles in my daily
work activities. I am not aware of any violation of the standards of MicroChannel’s Code of Ethics.
