 THE SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 2.01. FORM AND DATING 
  
 The Securities shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit
A, which Exhibit is incorporated in and made part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The
Securities are being offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
  
 (a) RESTRICTED GLOBAL SECURITIES. Securities offered and sold to qualified
institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A (collectively, “QIBs” or individually, each a “QIB”) in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Restricted Global Securities, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate
Trust Office, as custodian for the depositary, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (such depositary, or any successor thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede
& Co., duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of
the Securities Custodian as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures. 
  
 (b) GLOBAL SECURITIES IN GENERAL. Each Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and each shall
provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions, purchases or conversions of such Securities. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be
made by the Securities Custodian in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian. 
  

 9 

 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or under any Global Security, and the Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) 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 (B) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a
Holder of any Security. 
  
 (c) CERTIFICATED SECURITIES.
Certificated Securities shall be issued only under the limited circumstances provided in Section 2.14(a)(1) hereof. 
  
 SECTION 2.02. EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION 
  
 Two Officers shall sign the Securities on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. The Company’s seal shall be reproduced on the
Securities. 
  
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no
longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. 
  
 A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The Trustee’s signature shall be conclusive evidence that
the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
  
 The
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of $110,000,000 upon a Company Order without any further action by the Company. The aggregate principal amount of the
Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed the amount set forth in the foregoing sentence. 
  
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities
whenever the Trustee may do so, other than upon original issuance or pursuant to Section 2.07. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an
Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate. 
  
 The Securities
shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 
  

 10 

 SECTION 2.03. REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT, CONVERSION AGENT AND NEW YORK PRESENTING AGENT 
  
 The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be
presented for registration of transfer or exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion
(the “Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more Co-Registrars, one or more additional Paying Agents and one or more additional
Conversion Agents. The Company may act as Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Co-Registrar. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion
agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture and shall give the Trustee at least thirty days’ notice prior to changing the Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent. If the
Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. 
  
 If there is not at least one of each such Registrar or Co-Registrar, Paying
Agent and Conversion Agent located in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, the Company shall also maintain an office in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York where the securities may be presented for purposes of transfer and
exchange, payment and conversion (the “New York Presenting Agent”). The Company initially appoints U.S. Bank National Association having an office at 100 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005, to serve as New York Presenting Agent. 

 
 SECTION 2.04. PAYMENT ON SECURITIES; PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST

  
 Except as otherwise provided herein, on or prior to each
due date of payments in respect of any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) or shares of Common Stock sufficient to make such payments when so becoming
due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money and shares of Common Stock held by the Paying Agent
for the making of payments in respect of the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, the Paying Agent shall, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money and shares of Common Stock so held in trust. If the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and shares of Common Stock held by
it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money and shares of Common Stock held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds and Common Stock disbursed by it. Upon
doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money or shares of Common Stock. 
  
  

 11 

 SECTION 2.05. SECURITYHOLDER LISTS 
  
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the
names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee not less than five days prior to each interest payment 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 Securityholders. 
  
 SECTION 2.06. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE 
  
 (a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.14, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a
request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided,
however, that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate each in the form included in Exhibit A, and
in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or exchange at an
office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge,
except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, and provided, that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant
to Section 2.07, 2.10, 2.14(a)(1), 3.06, 4.05, 10.05 or 11.02. 
  
 Neither the Company, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities for a period of 15 days before any mailing of a notice of Securities to be redeemed, (b) any Securities or
portions thereof selected or called for redemption (except, in the case of redemption of a Security in part, the portion not to be redeemed) or (c) any Securities or portions thereof in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Change of Control
Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Security in part, the portion not to be purchased). 
  
 All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the
same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 
  
 (b) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in
connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities. 
  
 (c) Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or
assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law. 
  

 12 

 The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global
Security) 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 Indenture, and the Registration Rights Agreement
relating to the Securities (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
  
 SECTION 2.07. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES 
  
 If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, or if a mutilated Security is surrendered to the
Trustee, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If an indemnity bond is required by the Trustee or the Company, such bond must be sufficient, in the judgment of
both the Trustee and the Company, to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses incurred in replacing a
Security. 
  
 Every replacement Security shall be an additional
obligation of the Company. 
  
 SECTION 2.08. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES

  
 The Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities
authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed pursuant to Section 2.02) except for those cancelled by the Trustee, those delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, those reductions in the interests in a global Security effected
by the Trustee hereunder, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. 
  
 A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security. 
  
 If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced
Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
  
 If Securities are
considered paid under Section 5.01, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. TREASURY SECURITIES 
  
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or an Affiliate shall be disregarded, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  

 13 

 SECTION 2.10. TEMPORARY SECURITIES 
  
 Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company
and authenticated by the Trustee, and registered by the Registrar, upon the conditions, and with like effect, as a definitive Security. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in
exchange for temporary Securities. 
  
 SECTION 2.11. CANCELLATION

  
 The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent shall promptly forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee shall cancel all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation and may destroy cancelled Securities and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver
cancelled Securities to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Securityholder has converted pursuant to Article 11. 
  
 SECTION 2.12. DEFAULTED INTEREST 
  
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall
pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities are listed. It may pay the defaulted interest, plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the
Persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date for the payment of any defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the record date, the Company shall mail to each
Securityholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid. 
  
 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP NUMBERS 
  
 The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”
numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee
of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
  

 14 

 SECTION 2.14. ADDITIONAL TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS 
  
 (a) TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF GLOBAL SECURITIES 
  
 (1) Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for
interests in the Global Securities only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Securities or if it at any time ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under
the Exchange Act, if so required by applicable law or regulation and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In either case, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to delivery promptly), authenticate and deliver Certificated Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Securities in exchange
therefor. Only Restricted Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Restricted Global Securities, and only Unrestricted Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in
Unrestricted Global Securities. Certificated Securities issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities shall be registered in such names and shall be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from
its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Certificated Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. Such exchange shall be
effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. 
  
 (2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.14(a)(1), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a
nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 (b) TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATED SECURITIES. In the event that
Certificated Securities are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities in accordance with Section 2.14(a)(1) of this Indenture, on or after such event when Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a
request: 
  
 (x) to register the transfer of the
Certificated Securities to a person who will take delivery thereof in the form of Certificated Securities only; or 
  

 15 

 (y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of
Certificated Securities of other authorized denominations, 
  
 such Registrar
shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange: 
  
 (1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso to the first paragraph of Section 2.06(a); and 
  
 (2) in the case of a Restricted Certificated Security, such request shall be accompanied by the following additional information and
documents, as applicable: 
  
 (i) if such
Restricted Certificated Security is being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, or such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred to the Company or a Subsidiary, a
certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate); 
  
 (ii) (x) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred to a person the Holder reasonably believes is a QIB in accordance
with Rule 144A or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (y) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or Rule 904,
under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate); or 
  
 (iii) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred (i) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144 or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (other than pursuant to Rule 144A or Rule 144) and as a result of which, in the case of a Security transferred
pursuant to this clause (ii), such Security shall cease to be a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, a certification to that effect from the Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate) and, if
the Company or such Registrar so requests, a customary opinion of counsel, certificates and other information reasonably acceptable to the Company and such Registrar to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the registration
requirements of the Securities Act. 
  

 16 

 (c) TRANSFER OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN A RESTRICTED GLOBAL SECURITY FOR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN AN
UNRESTRICTED GLOBAL SECURITY. Any person having a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security may upon request, subject to the Applicable Procedures, transfer such beneficial interest to a person who is required or permitted to take delivery
thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Global Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions, or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any person having a
beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security and the following additional information and documents in such form as is customary for the Depositary from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of the person having such beneficial interest in
the Restricted Global Security (all of which may be submitted by facsimile or electronically): 
  
 (1) if such beneficial interest is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a
certification to that effect from the transferor (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate); or 
  
 (2) if such beneficial interest is being transferred (i) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
in accordance with Rule 144 or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (other than pursuant to Rule 144A or Rule 144) and as a result of which, in the case of a Security transferred pursuant to this
clause (ii), such Security shall cease to be a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, a certification to that effect from the transferor (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate) and, if the Company
or the Trustee so requests, a customary opinion of counsel, certificates and other information reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, 
  
 the Trustee, as a Registrar and Securities Custodian, shall
reduce or cause to be reduced the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the appropriate principal amount and shall increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Security by a
like principal amount. Such transfer shall otherwise be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. If no Unrestricted Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order
(which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver an Unrestricted Global Security. 
  

 17 

 (d) TRANSFER OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN AN UNRESTRICTED GLOBAL SECURITY FOR A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN A
RESTRICTED GLOBAL SECURITY. Any person having a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security may upon request, subject to the Applicable Procedures, transfer such beneficial interest to a person who is required or permitted to take
delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Global Security (it being understood that only QIBs or a person acquiring Securities pursuant to the exemption provided under Regulation S under the Securities Act may own beneficial interests in
Restricted Global Securities). Upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee, on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in an
Unrestricted Global Security and, in such form as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of the person having such beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global Security (all of which may be submitted by
facsimile or electronically) a certification from the transferor (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate) to the effect that such beneficial interest is being transferred to a person that the transferor reasonably believes
is a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or is being transferred to a non U.S. person in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or 904, under the Securities Act, the Trustee, as a Registrar and Securities Custodian, shall reduce or cause
to be reduced the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Security by the appropriate principal amount and shall increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by a like principal
amount. Such transfer shall otherwise be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. If no Restricted Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company
agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver a Restricted Global Security. 
  
 (e) TRANSFERS OF CERTIFICATED SECURITIES FOR BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN GLOBAL SECURITIES. In the event that Certificated Securities are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities and, thereafter,
the events or conditions specified in Section 2.14(a)(1) which required such exchange shall cease to exist, the Company shall mail a notice to the Trustee and to the Holders stating that Holders may exchange Certificated Securities for interests in
Global Securities by complying with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and briefly describing such procedures and the events or circumstances requiring that such notice be given. Thereafter, if Certificated Securities are presented by a
Holder to a Registrar with a request: 
  
 (x) to
register the transfer of such Certificated Securities to a person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, which request shall specify whether such Global Security will be a Restricted Global Security
or an Unrestricted Global Security; or 
  

 18 

 (y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of beneficial
interests in a Global Security, which beneficial interests will be owned by the Holder transferring such Certificated Securities (provided that in the case of such an exchange, Restricted Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Restricted
Global Securities and Unrestricted Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Unrestricted Global Securities), 
  
 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested by canceling such Certificated Security and causing, or directing the Securities Custodian to
cause, the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Security to be increased accordingly and, if no such Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Global Security;

  
 provided, however, that the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange: 
  
 (1)
shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso to the first paragraph of Section 2.06(a); 
  
 (2) in the case of a Restricted Certificated Security to be transferred for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, such
request shall be accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: 
  
 (i) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate); or 
  
 (ii) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred pursuant to (i) an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144 or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (other than pursuant to Rule 144A or Rule 144) and as a result of which, in the case of a Security transferred
pursuant to this clause (ii), such Security shall cease to be a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate), and,
if the Company or the Registrar so requests, a customary opinion of counsel, certificates and other information reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the registration requirements
of the Securities Act; 
  

 19 

 (3) in the case of a Restricted Certificated Security to be transferred or exchanged for
a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security, such request shall be accompanied by a certification from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate) to the effect that such Restricted Certificated Security
is being transferred to a person the Holder reasonably believes is a QIB (which, in the case of an exchange, shall be such Holder) in accordance with Rule 144A or is being transferred to a non U.S. person in an offshore transaction in accordance
with Rule 903 or 904, under the Securities Act; 
  
 (4) in the case of an Unrestricted Certificated Security to be transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, such request need not be accompanied by any additional information or documents; and

  
 (5) in the case of an Unrestricted
Certificated Security to be transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security, such request shall be accompanied by a certification from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in the Transfer Certificate)
to the effect that such Unrestricted Certificated Security is being transferred to a person the Holder reasonably believes is a QIB (which, in the case of an exchange, shall be such Holder) in accordance with Rule 144A or is being transferred to a
non U.S. person in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or 904, under the Securities Act. 
  
 (f) LEGENDS 
  
 (1) Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (2) and (3), each Global Security and Certificated Security (and all Securities issued
in exchange therefor or upon registration of transfer or replacement thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the form called for by footnote 2 to Exhibit A hereto (each a “Transfer Restricted Security” for so long as it is required
by this Indenture to bear such legend). Each Transfer Restricted Security shall have attached thereto a certificate (a “Transfer Certificate”) in substantially the form called for by footnote 5 to Exhibit A hereto. 
  
 (2) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted
Security (w) after the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales of the Securities under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, (x) pursuant to Rule 144, (y) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (z)
pursuant to any other available exemption (other than Rule 144A) from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and as a result of which, in the case of a Security transferred pursuant to this clause (z), such Security shall cease to be a
“restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144: 
  
 (i) in the case of any Restricted Certificated Security, any Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Restricted Certificated Security for an Unrestricted Certificated 

  

 20 

 
Security, or (under the circumstances described in Section 2.14(e)) to transfer such Restricted Certificated Security to a transferee who shall take such
Security in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, and in each case shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Security; provided, however, that the Holder of such Restricted Certificated
Security shall, in connection with such exchange or transfer, comply with the other applicable provisions of this Section 2.14; and 
  
 (ii) in the case of any beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security, the Trustee shall permit the beneficial owner thereof to
transfer such beneficial interest to a transferee who shall take such interest in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security and shall rescind any restriction on transfer of such beneficial interest; provided, that
such Unrestricted Global Security shall continue to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.14(a)(2); and provided, further, that the owner of such beneficial interest shall, in connection with such transfer, comply with the other
applicable provisions of this Section 2.14. 
  
 (3) Upon the exchange, registration of transfer or replacement of Securities not bearing the legend described in paragraph (1) above, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities that do not bear such
legend and that do not have a Transfer Certificate attached thereto. 
  
 (4) After the expiration of the holding period pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, the Company may with the consent of the Holder of a Restricted Global Security or Restricted Certificated Security, remove
any restriction of transfer on such Security, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities that do not bear such legend and that do not have a Transfer Certificate attached thereto. 
  
 ARTICLE 3. 
  
 REDEMPTION 
  
 SECTION 3.01. COMPANY’S RIGHT TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE 
  
 The Company, at its option, may redeem the Securities in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5 of the Securities in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on or after July 21, 2008 for a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon up to but not including the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal
amount of Securities to be redeemed and the Redemption Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. 
  

 21 

 The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.01 by a Company Order, at
least 20 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). 
  
 SECTION 3.02. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED 
  
 If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate (so long as such
method is not prohibited by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities are then listed). The Trustee shall make the selection (and provide the Company with written notice of such selection) at least 15 days but not more than 60 days
before the Redemption Date from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects for redemption shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000. In the event that the
Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably request to implement the selection. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to
portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of the Securities to be redeemed. 
  
 If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the
Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the
Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
  
 SECTION 3.03.
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. 
  
 At least 15 days but not more than
60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at such Holder’s address as shown on the register kept by the Registrar, and to beneficial owners as required by
applicable law. The notice shall identify the Securities (including CUSIP numbers, if any) to be redeemed and shall state: 
  
 (1) the Redemption Date; 
  
 (2) the Redemption Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities; 
  
 (3) the Conversion Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities; 
  
 (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion
Agent; 
  

 22 

 (5) that Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time before the close
of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date; 
  
 (6) that Holders who want to convert Securities must satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 7 of the Securities; 
  
 (7) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent in order to collect the Redemption Price; 
  
 (8) that interest on Securities called for redemption ceases
to accrue on and after the Redemption Date (unless funds in the requisite amount are not paid or made available for payment on that date), and the amount of interest accrued on the Securities called for redemption up to but not including the
Redemption Date; 
  
 (9) if less than all of any
Security is to be redeemed, the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed; 
  
 (10) the CUSIP number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and 
  
 (11) that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. 
  
 If any of the Securities to be redeemed is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures. Upon ten days prior notice to
the Trustee, the Company may request that the Trustee mail the notice of redemption (prepared by the Company) in the Company’s name and at its expense. 
  
 SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION 
  
 Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption, unless theretofore converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this
Indenture, shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price, per $1,000 principal amount of Securities stated in the notice;
provided, however, that any regular semi-annual payment of interest becoming due on the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of any such Security as provided in Section 2 of the Securities. 
  
 SECTION 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE 
  
 No later than 11:00 a.m., (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit in immediately available funds with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which
on or prior thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Securities. 
  

 23 

 SECTION 3.06. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART 
  
 Upon surrender to the Trustee of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. 
  
 ARTICLE 4. 
  
 REPURCHASES 
  
 SECTION 4.01. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER 
  
 (a) GENERAL. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article, the Company shall purchase, at the option of the Holder thereof, all or any portion of the Securities held by such Holder on July 15, 2008, July 15,
2013 and July 15, 2018 (each, a “Purchase Date”) for which such Holder has properly delivered and not withdrawn a Purchase Notice (as defined below) at a purchase price per Security equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Security together with accrued interest up to but not including the Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”); provided that if the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment
date, interest will be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on the relevant record date. 
  
 Purchases of Securities hereunder shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon: 
  
 (1) delivery to the Paying Agent by the Holder of a written notice of purchase (a “Purchase
Notice”) at any time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the Purchase Date until the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to such Purchase Date stating: 
  
 (A) the certificate number of the Security which the Holder
will deliver to be purchased or the appropriate Depositary procedures if Certificated Securities have not been issued, 
  
 (B) the portion of the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be in principal
amounts at maturity of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, 
  

 24 

 (C) that such Security shall be purchased as of the Purchase Date pursuant to the terms
and conditions specified in Section 6 of the Securities and in this Indenture, and 
  
 (D) in the event the Company elects, pursuant to Section 4.01(b), to pay the Purchase Price, in whole or in part, in shares of Common
Stock but such portion of the Purchase Price shall ultimately be paid to such Holder entirely in cash because any of the conditions to payment of the Purchase Price in shares of Common Stock is not satisfied prior to the close of business on the
relevant Purchase Date, as set forth in Section 4.01(d), whether such Holder elects (i) to withdraw such Purchase Notice as to some or all of the Securities to which such Purchase Notice relates (stating the expected principal amount and certificate
numbers, if any, of the Securities as to which such withdrawal shall relate), or (ii) to receive cash in respect of the entire Purchase Price for all Securities (or portions thereof) to which such Purchase Notice relates; and 
  
 (2) delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent prior to,
on or after the Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Purchase Price therefor; 
  
 provided, however, that such Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this
Section 4.01 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Purchase Notice, as determined by the Company. 
  
 If a Holder, in such Holder’s Purchase Notice and in any written notice of withdrawal delivered by such Holder pursuant
to the terms of Section 4.03, fails to indicate such Holder’s choice with respect to the Holder’s election set forth in clause (D) of Section 4.01(a)(1), such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to receive cash in respect of the entire
Purchase Price for all Securities subject to such Purchase Notice in the circumstances set forth in such clause (D). 
  
 The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 4.01, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security. 
  
 Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be consummated by the
delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security. Unless the Company defaults in paying the Purchase Price, interest on the Securities subject to a
Purchase Notice shall cease to accrue on and after the Purchase Date. 
  

 25 

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Purchase
Notice contemplated by this Section 4.01 shall have the right to withdraw such Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the
Paying Agent in accordance with Section 4.03. 
  
 The Paying Agent
shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof. 
  
 (b) COMPANY’S RIGHT TO ELECT MANNER OF PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE FOR PAYMENT. The Securities to be purchased on any Purchase Date pursuant to Section
4.01(a) may be paid for, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company, in U.S. legal tender (“cash”) or shares of Common Stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, subject to the conditions set forth in
Sections 4.01(c) and (d). The Company shall designate, in the Company Notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(e), whether the Company will purchase the Securities for cash or shares of Common Stock, or, if a combination thereof, the percentages of
the Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which it will pay in cash or shares of Common Stock; provided that the Company shall pay cash for fractional interests in shares of Common Stock. For purposes of determining the existence of
potential fractional interests, all Securities subject to purchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be considered together (no matter how many separate certificates are to be presented). Each Holder whose Securities are purchased pursuant to
this Section 4.01 shall receive the same percentage of cash or shares of Common Stock in payment of the Purchase Price for such Securities, except (i) as provided in Section 4.01(d) with regard to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of
Common Stock and (ii) in the event that the Company is unable to purchase the Securities of a Holder or Holders for shares of Common Stock because any necessary qualifications or registrations of the shares of Common Stock under applicable state
securities laws cannot be obtained, the Company may purchase the Securities of such Holder or Holders for cash. The Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration (or components or percentages of components thereof) to be paid
once the Company has given its Company Notice to Holders except pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) or pursuant to Section 4.01(d) in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the Purchase Date,
any condition to the payment of the Purchase Price, in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock. 
  
 At least three Business Days before each Company Notice Date, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying:

  
 (1) the manner of payment selected by the
Company, 
  

 26 

 (2) the information required by Section 4.01(e) in the Company Notice, 
  
 (3) if the Company elects to pay the Purchase Price, or a
specified percentage thereof, in shares of Common Stock, that the conditions to such manner of payment set forth in Section 4.01(d) have been or will be complied with; and 
  
 (4) whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the Company Notice required by Section 4.01(e).

  
 (c) PURCHASE WITH CASH. At the option of the Company, the
Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 4.01(a) has been given, or a specified percentage thereof, may be paid by the Company with cash equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Securities. The
Company Notice, as provided in Section 4.01(e), shall be sent to Holders (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) not less than 20 Business Days prior to such Purchase Date (the “Company Notice Date”). 
  
 (d) PAYMENT BY ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. At the option of the
Company, the Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 4.01(a) has been given, or a specified percentage thereof, may be paid by the Company by the issuance of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the portion of the Purchase Price to be paid in shares of Common Stock by (ii) the Purchase Price Per Share of one share of Common Stock as determined by the Company in the Company Notice, subject to the next
succeeding paragraph. 
  
 The Company shall not issue fractional
shares of Common Stock in payment of the Purchase Price. Instead, the Company shall pay cash based on the Purchase Price Per Share for all fractional shares. It is understood that if a Holder elects to have more than one Security purchased, the
number of shares of Common Stock shall be based on the aggregate amount of Securities to be purchased. 
  
 If the Company elects to purchase the Securities by the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the Company Notice, as provided in Section 4.01(e), shall be
sent to the Holders (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) not later than the Company Notice Date. 
  
 The Company’s right to exercise its election to purchase Securities through the issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be conditioned upon:

  
 (1) the Company’s not having given its
Company Notice of an election to pay entirely in cash and its giving of timely Company Notice of an election to purchase all or a specified percentage of the Securities with shares of Common Stock as provided herein; 
  

 27 

 (2) the registration of such shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, in each case, if required; 
  
 (3)
the listing of such shares of Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or, if the shares of Common Stock is not then listed on a national or regional securities exchange, on the Nasdaq
National Market; 
  
 (4) any necessary
qualification or registration under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an exemption from such qualification and registration; and 
  
 (5) the receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that (A) the terms of the issuance
of the shares of Common Stock are in conformity with this Indenture and (B) the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company in payment of the Purchase Price in respect of the Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture in payment of the Purchase Price in respect of the Securities, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, free from preemptive rights, and, in the
case of such Officers’ Certificate, stating that the conditions above and the condition set forth in the second succeeding sentence have been satisfied and, in the case of such Opinion of Counsel, stating that the conditions in clauses (1)
through (4) above have been satisfied. 
  
 Such Officers’
Certificate shall also set forth the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for each $1,000 principal amount and the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on each trading day during the period commencing on the first trading day of
the period during which the Purchase Price Per Share is calculated and ending on the third day prior to the applicable Purchase Date. The Company may pay the Purchase Price (or any portion thereof) in shares of Common Stock only if the information
necessary to calculate the Purchase Price Per Share is published in a daily newspaper of national circulation. If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied with respect to a Holder or Holders prior to the close of business on the Purchase Date, and
the Company has elected to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Section 4.01 through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay the entire Purchase Price of the Securities of such Holder or Holders in cash. 
  
 The “Purchase Price Per Share” of Common Stock on a Purchase Date
means the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock for the five Trading Day period ending on the third Business Day prior to such Purchase Date (if the third Business Day prior to such Purchase Date is a Trading Day, or if
not, then on the last Trading Day immediately prior to the third Business Day), appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence, during the period commencing on the first of the Trading Days during the five Trading Day period and ending
on such Purchase Date, of any event described in Sections 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09 or 11.10; subject, however, to the conditions set forth in Sections 11.12 and 11.13. 
  

 28 

 The “Closing Sale Price” of the shares of Common Stock on any date means the closing sale price
per share (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date as reported in composite transactions for the
principal United States securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or, if the Common Stock is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the Nasdaq National Market. In the absence of such
quotations, the Company shall be entitled to determine the sales price on the basis of such quotations as it considers appropriate. 
  
 Upon determination of the actual number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon redemption of Securities, the Company shall (i) disseminate a press
release containing such information through any two of Reuter’s Economic Services, Bloomberg Business News and Dow Jones & Company Inc. and (ii) publish such information on its website (www.cdtc.com) or other successor Web site or through
such other public medium as it may use at that time. 
  
 (e)
NOTICE OF ELECTION. In connection with any purchase of Securities pursuant to Section 6 of the Securities, the Company shall give notice to Holders setting forth information specified in this Section 4.01(e) (the “Company Notice”).

  
 In the event the Company has elected to pay the Purchase Price
(or a specified percentage thereof) with shares of Common Stock, the Company Notice shall: 
  
 (1) state that each Holder will receive shares of Common Stock with a Purchase Price Per Share determined as of a specified date prior to
the Purchase Date equal to such specified percentage of the Purchase Price of the Securities held by such Holder (except any cash amount to be paid in lieu of fractional shares); 
  
 (2) set forth the method of calculating the Purchase Price Per Share of the shares of Common Stock; and

  
 (3) state that because the Purchase Price Per
Share of shares of Common Stock will be determined prior to the Purchase Date, Holders of the Securities will bear the market risk with respect to the value of the shares of Common Stock to be received from the date such Purchase Price Per Share is
determined to the Purchase Date. 
  
 In any case, each Company
Notice shall include a form of Purchase Notice to be completed by a Holder and shall state: 
  
 (i) the Purchase Price and Conversion Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities and any adjustments thereto; 
  

 29 

 (ii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent; 
  
 (iii) that Securities as to which a Purchase Notice has been
given may be converted only if they are otherwise convertible in accordance with Article 11 of this Indenture and Section 7 of the Securities and if the applicable Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

  
 (iv) that Securities must be surrendered to
the Paying Agent to collect payment; 
  
 (v) that
the Purchase Price for any Security as to which a Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn shall be paid promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Security as described in (iv); 
  
 (vi) the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise its
put rights under this Section 4.01 and a brief description of those rights; 
  
 (vii) briefly, the conversion rights of the Securities; 
  
 (viii) the procedures for withdrawing a Purchase Notice (including, without limitation, for a conditional withdrawal pursuant to the terms
of Section 4.01(a)(1)(D) or Section 4.03); 
  
 (ix) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment on Securities for which a Purchase Notice has been submitted, interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the Purchase Date; and 
  
 (x) the CUSIP number of the Securities. 
  
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Company Notice in
the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company. 
  
 If any of the Securities are to be redeemed in the form of a Global Security, the Company shall modify such notice to the
extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures. 
  
 Simultaneously with the delivery of a Company Notice, the Company shall (i) disseminate a press release containing the information stated in such Company Notice through any two of Reuter’s Economic Services, Bloomberg Business News and
Dow Jones & Company Inc. and (ii) publish the information stated in such Company Notice on its website (www.cdtc.com) or other successor Web site or through such other public medium as it may use at that time.

 (f) COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon purchase of the Securities shall
be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim. 
  
 (g) PROCEDURE UPON PURCHASE. The Company shall deposit cash (in respect of a
cash purchases under this Section 4.01 or for fractional interests, as applicable) or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as applicable, at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 4.04, sufficient to pay the aggregate
Purchase Price of all Securities to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.01. As soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled to receive shares of Common Stock through the Paying Agent, a
certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of the Purchase Price and cash in lieu of any fractional interests. The person in whose name the certificate for the shares of Common Stock is registered shall be treated
as a holder of record of Common Stock on the Business Day following the Purchase Date. Subject to Section 4.01(d), no payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends on the shares of Common Stock the record date for which occurred on or prior to
the Purchase Date. 
  
 (h) TAXES. If a Holder of a purchased
Security is paid in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on such issue of Common Stock. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the
Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Paying Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Paying Agent
receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any income tax withholding required by law or regulations.

  
 SECTION 4.02. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON CHANGE OF
CONTROL 
  
 (a) If a Change of Control occurs, the Securities
not previously purchased by the Company or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount shall be purchased by the Company, at the option of the Holder thereof, on the Change of Control Purchase
Date at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the Change of Control Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”),
subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 4.02(c). 
  
 “Change of Control Purchase Date” shall mean the date selected by the Company for the purchase of the Securities that is not less than 10 and
not more than 30 days after the Final Surrender Date. 
  

 31 

 “Final Surrender Date” shall mean the date which is, subject to any contrary requirements of
applicable law, 60 days after the date of mailing of the Change of Control Company Notice. 
  
 A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time after the Securities are originally issued as either of the following events shall occur: 
  
 (1) any “person” or “group” is or
becomes the “beneficial owner,” directly or indirectly, of shares of the Company’s voting stock representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all of the Company’s outstanding voting stock or has the power, directly or
indirectly, to elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors; or 
  
 (2) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, another person or its sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, or any person consolidates
with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event other than pursuant to a transaction in which the persons that “beneficially owned,” directly or indirectly, the shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to
such transaction “beneficially own,” directly or indirectly, shares of the Company’s voting stock representing at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding voting stock of the surviving or transferee person.

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have
occurred by virtue of the Company, any Subsidiary, any employee stock ownership plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any person holding Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit
plan, filing or becoming obligated to file a report under or in response to Schedule 13D or Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act disclosing beneficial ownership by it of shares of Common Stock, whether in
excess of 50% or otherwise. 
  
 For purposes of this change in
control definition only: 
  
 “person” and
“group” have the meanings given to them for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions, and the term “group” includes any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing
of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, or any successor provision; 
  
 a “beneficial owner” will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date of this Indenture, except
that the number of shares of the Company’s voting stock will be deemed to include, in addition to all outstanding shares of our voting stock and unissued shares deemed to be held by the “person” or “group” or other person
with respect to which the change in control determination is being made, all unissued shares deemed to be held by all other persons; 
  

 32 

 “beneficially own” and “beneficially owned” have meanings correlative to that of
beneficial owner; 
  
 “unissued shares” means shares of
voting stock not outstanding that are subject to options, warrants, rights to purchase or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days of the date of determination of a change in control; and 
  
 “voting stock” means any class or classes of capital stock or other
interests then outstanding and normally entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of the board of directors, managers or trustees. 
  
 (b) No later than 30 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and mail (or
cause the Trustee to mail) a written notice of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Company Notice”) by first-class mail to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law). The Company must cause a copy of
such Change of Control Company Notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Change of Control Company Notice shall include a form of Change of Control Purchase Notice to be
completed by the Holder and shall state: 
  
 (1)
briefly, the events causing a Change of Control and the date of such Change of Control; 
  
 (2) the Final Surrender Date; 
  
 (3) the Change of Control Purchase Date; 
  
 (4) the Change of Control Purchase Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities; 
  
 (5) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the
Conversion Agent; 
  
 (6) the Conversion Price
per $1,000 principal amount of Securities and any adjustments thereto; 
  
 (7) that the Securities as to which a Change of Control Purchase Notice has been given may not be converted, even if they are otherwise convertible pursuant to Article 11, if the Change of Control Purchase Notice has
been delivered (unless the Company defaults in payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price on the Change of Control Purchase Date and the Holder revokes its Change of Control Purchase Notice); 
  

 33 

 (8) that the Securities must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment;

  
 (9) that the Change of Control Purchase Price
for any Security as to which a Change of Control Purchase Notice has been duly given shall be paid only if the Holder of such Security, on or before the Final Surrender Date, surrenders such Security as described in (8); 
  
 (10) briefly, the procedures the Holder must follow to
exercise rights under this Section 4.02; 
  
 (11)
briefly, the conversion rights, if any, of the Securities; 
  
 (12) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Change of Control Purchase Price on the Change of Control Purchase Date, interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the Change of
Control Purchase Date; and 
  
 (13) the CUSIP
number(s) of the Securities. 
  
 (c) A Holder may exercise its
rights specified in Section 4.02(a) upon delivery of a written notice of purchase (a “Change of Control Purchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent at any time on or prior to the Final Surrender Date, stating: 
  
 (1) the certificate number of the Security which the Holder
will deliver to be purchased or the appropriate Depositary procedures if Certificated Securities have not been issued, 
  
 (2) the portion of the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be $1,000
principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000; and 
  
 (3) that such Security shall be purchased pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in Section 6 of the Securities. 
  
 The delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent with such Change of Control Purchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of
the Paying Agent on or prior to the Final Surrender Date shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change of Control Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Change of Control Purchase Price shall be so paid
pursuant to this Section 4.02 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Change of Control Purchase Notice. 
  
 The delivery of such Security with such Change of Control Purchase Notice
shall be irrevocable (unless the Company defaults in payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price for the Securities on the Change of Control Purchase Date) and the right to convert such Security shall expire when such Security and such Change of
Control Purchase Notice are delivered (unless the Company defaults in payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price for the Securities on the Change of Control Purchase Date and such delivery is revoked). 
  

 34 

 The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 4.02, a portion of a
Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security. 
  
 Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 4.02 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder on the Change of Control Purchase Date. 
  
 The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Change of Control Purchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.

  
 SECTION 4.03. EFFECT OF PURCHASE NOTICE OR CHANGE OF CONTROL PURCHASE
NOTICE 
  
 Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Purchase
Notice or Change of Control Purchase Notice specified in Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.02(c), as applicable, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Purchase Notice or Change of Control Purchase Notice, as the case may be, was given shall
(unless, in the case of a Purchase Notice, such Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Purchase Price or Change of Control Purchase Price, as the case may be, with
respect to such Security. Such Purchase Price or Change of Control Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipts of funds and/or securities by the Paying Agent, (i) in the case of such Purchase Price, promptly following the later

4.01(a) and (ii) in the case of such Change of Control Purchase Price, promptly following the Change of Control Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided that the conditions in Section 4.02(c) have been satisfied). Securities in respect
of which a Purchase Notice or Change of Control Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 11 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Purchase Notice or Change of Control Purchase Notice
unless, in the case of a Purchase Notice, such Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs. 
  
 A Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Purchase
Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Purchase Date specifying: 
  
 (1) the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased or the appropriate Depositary procedures if
Certificated Securities have not been issued, 
  

 35 

 (2) the principal amount of the Security with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted, and 
  
 (3) the principal
amount, if any, of such Security which remains subject to the original Purchase Notice and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company. 
  
 A written notice of withdrawal of a Purchase Notice may be in the form set forth in the preceding paragraph or may be in the form of (i) a conditional
withdrawal contained in a Purchase Notice pursuant to the terms of Section 4.01(a)(1)(D) or (ii) a conditional withdrawal containing the information set forth in Section 4.01(a)(1)(D) and the preceding paragraph and contained in a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent as set forth in the preceding paragraph. 
  
 There shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of the required Purchase
Notice or Change of Control Purchase Notice, as the case may be) and is continuing an Event of Default. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (x) with respect to which a Purchase Notice has been
withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default in which case, upon such return, the Purchase Notice or Change of Control Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been
withdrawn.

PURCHASE PRICE 
  
 Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the Business Day following the Purchase Date or the Change of Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, the Company shall 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, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) or Common Stock, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the aggregate
Purchase Price or Change of Control Purchase Price, as the case may be, of all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the Purchase Date or Change of Control Purchase Date, as the case may be.

 Any Certificated Security which is to be purchased only in part shall be
surrendered 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 thereof or such
Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered which is not purchased.

the aggregate amount of cash or shares of Common Stock deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.04 exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price or Change of Control Purchase Price, as the case may be, of the Securities or portions thereof which the
Company is obligated to purchase as of the Purchase Date or Change of Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, then, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, promptly after the Business Day following the Purchase Date or Change of
Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon (subject to the provisions of Section 8.01(e)).

annual reports and 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) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding that the Company may not be required to remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the SEC (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing)
and provide the Trustee and Securityholders with the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such

constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 or (y) any securities into which the Securities have been converted under this Indenture which constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144, that in either case have been
reacquired by any of them. The Trustee shall have no responsibility in respect of the Company’s performance of its agreement in the preceding sentence. 
  
 SECTION 5.08. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (a “Shelf Registration Statement”)
covering resales of the Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. 
  
 If (i) on or prior to the 150th day after the first date of original issuance of the Securities, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with
the Commission; (ii) on or prior to the 240th day after the first date of original issuance of the Securities, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission; or (iii) after the Shelf Registration Statement has
been declared effective, such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective or usable (subject to certain exceptions described in the Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with resales of Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion thereof in accordance with and during the periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Registration Default”), additional interest will accrue on the
Securities over and above the rate set forth in the title of the Securities, from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured, at the rate of
0.50% per annum. The Company will have no other liabilities for monetary damages with respect to its registration obligations. 
  
 The above description of certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified by reference to, and is subject in its entirety to, the more

thereof, 

  

 39 

 
the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to such Holder or any beneficial owner of Securities or holder or
beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock, or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such Holder or holder with Rule 144A in connection with
the resale of any such security. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Whether a person is a beneficial owner shall be determined by the Company to the
Company’s reasonable satisfaction.

would become an Event of Default, will have occurred and be continuing; and 
  
 (3) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture
is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this Article 6 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been satisfied. 
  

 40 

 For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise) of the properties
and assets of one or more Subsidiaries (other than to the Company or another Subsidiary), which, if such assets were owned by the Company, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be
the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. 
  
 The successor person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the successor person to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may
exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture and the Securities. Subject to Section 10.06, the Company, the Trustee and the successor person shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such successor person and such discharge and release
of the Company. 
  
 ARTICLE 7. 
  
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 SECTION 7.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
  
 An “Event of Default” occurs if: 
  
 (1) the Company defaults in the payment of accrued and
unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security when the same becomes due and payable and the Default continues uncured for a period of 30 days, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article 12;

  
 (2) the Company defaults in the payment of
(A) the principal of any Security when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise or (B) the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of any Security when due, whether
or not such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article 12; 
  
 (3) the Company fails to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements set forth in this Indenture and the Default continues for a period of 90 days after the written notice specified below; 
  
 (4) the Company defaults in the payment when due, including
any applicable grace period, in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, which payment is in an amount in excess of $20,000,000, or the Company defaults with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, which
default results in acceleration of any such indebtedness which is in an amount of in excess of $20,000,000; 
  

 41 

 (5) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall commence a voluntary case
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a

insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or all or substantially all of
the property of the Company or any of its significant Subsidiaries or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a
period of 60 consecutive days. 
  
 A Default under clause (3)
above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company does not cure such
Default (and such Default is not waived) within the time specified in clause (3) above after actual receipt of such notice. Any such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of
Default”. 
  
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee,
within 30 days after it becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice of any Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
  
 SECTION 7.02. ACCELERATION 
  
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(5) or (6)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the
Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities to be immediately due
and payable. Upon such a declaration, such accelerated amount shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(5) or (6) occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the
Securities shall become and be immediately due and

payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities at the time outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Securityholder) may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing
Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely as a result of acceleration and if all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 8.07 have been paid. No such rescission shall affect
any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  
 SECTION
7.03. OTHER REMEDIES 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess
any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute
a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy and all remedies are cumulative. 
  
 SECTION 7.04. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS 
  
 Subject to Section 2.09, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without
notice to any other Securityholder), may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(1) or (2), (b) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 10.02 cannot be amended without
the consent of each Securityholder affected or (c) a Default which constitutes a failure to convert any Security in accordance with the terms of Article 11. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. This Section 7.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. 
  
 SECTION 7.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY 
  
 Subject to Section 2.09, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture, or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder or would expose the Trustee to liability or expense for which it has not been offered reasonably
satisfactory indemnity. This Section 7.05 shall be in lieu of TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A), and TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and Section, as permitted by the TIA. 
  

 43 

 SECTION 7.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS 
  
 A Securityholder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities only if: 
  
 (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default; 
  
 (2) the Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to
be, or which may be, incurred by the Trustee in pursuing the remedy; 
  
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 
  
 (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request. 
  
 A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to
prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder. 
  
 SECTION 7.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Security on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Security or any Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Change of Control Purchase Date, and to convert such Security in accordance with Article 11, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after such respective due dates and such right to convert, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
  
 SECTION 7.08. COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE 
  
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an
express trust against the Company for the whole amount owing with respect to the Securities and the amounts provided for in Section 8.07. 
  
 SECTION 7.09. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM 
  
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the 

  

 44 

 
Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of or any interest on the Securities shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any such amount) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise, 
  
 (1) to file and
prove a claim for the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel or any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  
 (2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07. 
  
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceedings. 
  
 SECTION 7.10. PRIORITIES 
  
 If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 7, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 
  
 First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 8.07; 

 
 Second: to holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent required
by Article 12; 
  
 Third: to Securityholders for amounts
due and unpaid on the Securities for principal or interest, as the case may be, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the Securities; and 
  
 Fourth: to the Company. 
  

 45 

 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this
Section 7.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid. 
  
 SECTION 7.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS 
  
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture
or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant 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 does not
apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 7.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. This Section 7.11 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of
the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. 
  
 SECTION 7.12. WAIVER OF STAY, EXTENSION OR USURY LAWS 
  
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or
any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive it from paying all or any portion of the principal amount in respect of the Securities, or any interest on such amount, as contemplated
herein, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 ARTICLE 8. 
  
 TRUSTEE 
  
 SECTION 8.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE 
  
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
  
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
  
 (1) the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others; and 
  

 46 

 (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture but in case of any such certificates or opinions which by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but need not confirm or investigate
the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein. This Section 8.01(b) shall be in lieu of Section 315(a) of the TIA and such Section 315(a) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

  
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section; 
  
 (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
received by it pursuant to Section 7.05; and 
  
 (4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 Subparagraphs (c)(1), (2) and (3) shall be in lieu of Sections 315(d)(1), 315(d)(2) and 315(d)(3) of the TIA and such
Sections 315(d)(1), 315(d)(2) and 315(d)(3) are hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. 
  
 (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section. 
  
 (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it
except as the Trustee may agree with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and need not be invested except as agreed to by the Trustee. 
  

 47 

 SECTION 8.02. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE 
  
 Subject to Section 8.01: 
  
 (a) the Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document; 
  
 (b)
before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel; 
  
 (c) the Trustee may act
through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care; 
  
 (d) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or
powers conferred under this Indenture; 
  
 (e) the Trustee may
consult with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, which may be counsel to the Company, and the advice of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or
suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel; 
  
 (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of
the Company under this Indenture; but the Trustee may require of the Company full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements aforesaid; and 
  
 (g) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of its trusts and powers or in
respect of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 8.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE

  
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate with the same rights the Trustee would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with
Sections 8.10 and 8.11. 
  
 SECTION 8.04. TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER

  
 The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities or the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and shall
not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. 
  

 48 

 SECTION 8.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS 
  
 If a Default occurs and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Securityholder notice of the Default
within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except in the case of a Default described in Section 7.01(1) or (2), the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders. The second sentence of this Section 8.05 shall be in lieu of the proviso to
Section 315(b) of the TIA and such proviso is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of
such Default. 
  
 SECTION 8.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS 

 
 If required by TIA Section 313(a), within 60 days after each May 15
beginning with May 15, 2004 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b), (c) and
(d). 
  
 A copy of each such report at the time of its mailing to
Securityholders shall also be mailed to the Company and shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed. 
  
 The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the Securities become listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting thereof. 
  
 SECTION 8.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY 
  
 The Company agrees: 
  
 (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company
and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited (to the extent permitted by law) by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust); 
  
 (b) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses, advances and disbursements of its agents and
counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 
  
 (c) to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability, cost
or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee)) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of its powers or duties hereunder. 
  

 49 

 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall have a lien
prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay the principal of and interest on particular Securities. 
  
 The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 7.01(5) or (6), the expenses, including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel, are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereinafter in effect. 
  
 SECTION 8.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE 
  
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section. 
  
 The Trustee may
resign by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
  
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10;

  
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or an
insolvent; 
  
 (3) a receiver or other public
officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
  
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
  
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
  
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10, any Securityholder or beneficial owner may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  

 50 

 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to
the Company satisfactory in form and substance to the retiring Trustee and the Company. Thereupon the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee (subject to the lien provided for in Section 8.07), the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Securityholders. 
  
 SECTION 8.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AGENTS BY MERGER, ETC.

  
 If the Trustee or any Agent consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or Agent, as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 8.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION 
  
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement of
TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee (or in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its
most recent published annual report of condition. In addition, if the Trustee is a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of such bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA Section
310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b). 
  
 SECTION 8.11.
PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY 
  
 The
Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
  
 ARTICLE 9. 
  
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
  
 SECTION 9.01. TERMINATION OF COMPANY’S OBLIGATIONS 
  
 When (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities
(other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (2) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable and the Company deposits with the Trustee, Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable, cash and/or
securities, as permitted by the terms hereof, sufficient to pay, whether at Stated Maturity, on any Redemption Date, Purchase Date, Change of Control Purchase Date or Conversion Date or otherwise, all amounts due and owing on all outstanding
Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.07, cease to be 

  

 51 

 
of further effect. The Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company. 
  
 However, the obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.14, 5.01, 8.07, 8.08, 9.03 and in Article 11 shall survive until the Securities are
no longer outstanding. Thereafter the obligations in Sections 8.07 and 9.03 shall survive. 
  
 After a termination of the Company’s obligations in accordance with this Section, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture except
for those surviving obligations specified above. 
  
 SECTION 9.02. APPLICATION
OF TRUST MONEY 
  
 The Trustee shall hold in trust money or
securities deposited with it pursuant to Section 9.01. It shall apply the deposited money or securities through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, and interest on, the Securities. Money and
securities so held in trust are not subject to Article 12. 
  
 SECTION 9.03.
REPAYMENT TO COMPANY 
  
 Subject to the requirements of
applicable law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided, however, that,
before being required to make any such repayment, the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall, if the Company so requests and at the expense of the Company, cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks, in each case on any day of the week,
in an authorized newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or mail to each such Holder, a notice (in such form as may be deemed appropriate by such Trustee or Paying Agent) that said monies remain unclaimed and that, after a date
named therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of said monies then remaining will be returned to the Company. After payment to the Company, Securityholders entitled to the
money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. 
  
 ARTICLE 10. 
  
 AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS 
  
 SECTION 10.01. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS 
  
 The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any Securityholder: 
  

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency herein or in the Securities; 
  

 52 

 (2) to comply with Section 6.01; 
  
 (3) to make any change that does not materially adversely
affect the rights of any Securityholder; or 
  
 (4) to make provision with respect to the conversion rights of Holders pursuant to the requirements of Section 11.17. 
  
 SECTION 10.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS 
  
 The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities. However, without the consent of
each Securityholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section may not: 
  
 (1) change the stated maturity date of the principal of any Security or adversely affect the right of a Holder to convert any Security;

  
 (2) reduce the principal amount, Redemption
Price, Purchase Price or Change of Control Purchase Price of, or alter the manner or rate of accrual of interest (or extend the time for payment of interest) on, any Security; 
  
 (3) change the currency for payment in respect of any Security; 
  
 (4) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement
of any payment on or with respect to any Security; 
  
 (5) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment or supplement of this Indenture or the waiver of defaults or compliance hereunder; 
  
 (6) make any change in the subordination provisions of Article 12 or make any other change in the ranking or
priority of any Security in a manner materially adverse to the Holders; or 
  
 (7) make any change in Section 7.04, 7.07 or this 10.02 (second sentence). 
  
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or
waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The Company may establish, by delivery of an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee, a record date for determining Securityholders of record entitled to give any
consent or waiver. 
  

 53 

 After an amendment or supplement under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
Securityholders a notice briefly describing the amendment or supplement. Any failure of the Company to mail any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any supplemental indenture. Any
amendment or supplement under Section 10.01 or this Section 10.02 may not adversely affect the rights of any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company under Article 12 unless such holders shall have consented to such amendment or supplement
pursuant to the terms of such Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 SECTION 10.03.
COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT 
  
 Every amendment to or
supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. 
  
 SECTION 10.04. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS 
  
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that
evidences the same obligation as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Security or portion of a Security if
a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every
Securityholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a record date has been established for the purpose of determining Securityholders entitled to consent, such written notice of revocation must be signed by the Securityholder of record as of the
record date or his duly appointed proxy. 
  
 SECTION 10.05. NOTATION ON OR
EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES 
  
 The Trustee may place an
appropriate notation relating to an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Security thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Securities may issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, new Securities that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver. 
  
 SECTION 10.06. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

  
 In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created
by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or Section 11.17 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
  

 54 

 The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment
or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. If the amendment or supplement does adversely affect the Trustee’s rights, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. 
  
 SECTION 10.07. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES 
  
 Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance
therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. 
  
 ARTICLE 11. 
  
 CONVERSION 
  
 SECTION 11.01. CONVERSION PRIVILEGE 
  
 A Holder of a Security may convert such Security into shares of Common Stock
at any time during the period stated in Section 7 of the Securities, subject in the case of conversion of any Global Security to any Applicable Procedures. The conversion price per share of Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Securities (the
“Conversion Price”) shall be that set forth in Section 7 in the Securities, subject to adjustment as herein set forth. 
  
 The conversion privilege with respect to a Security or the portion thereof that the Company has elected to redeem in accordance with Article 3 hereof will
terminate at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon such redemption (in which case the conversion right will terminate at the close of business on the date
such default is cured). 
  
 A Holder may convert a portion of the
principal amount of a Security if the portion converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

  
 SECTION 11.02. CONVERSION PROCEDURE 
  
 To convert a Security a Holder must satisfy the requirements in Section 7 of
the Securities. The first Business Day on which the Holder satisfies all those requirements is the conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). 
  
 As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, through the Conversion Agent, a certificate for the number of
full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange and cash in lieu of any fractional shares determined pursuant to Section 11.03. The person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record
as of the close of business on the Conversion Date. Upon conversion of a Security, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security. 
  

 55 

 No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends on, or other distributions with respect to, any
Common Stock except as provided in this Article 11. On conversion of a Security, no accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities through the Conversion Date shall be payable with respect to the converted Security and no such interest shall be
cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the shares of Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for the
Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof; and the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in
exchange for accrued and unpaid interest through the Conversion Date, and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued for the principal amount of the Security
being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Company shall not adjust the conversion ratio to account for accrued and unpaid interest. If the Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of the Securities converted. 
  
 If the last day on which a Security may be converted is not a Business Day, the Security may be surrendered on the next succeeding Business Day.

  
 Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered. 
  
 If a Holder surrenders a Security for conversion during the period after any
record date and prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, such Holder shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on such Security; provided that if such Security (or any portion
thereof) shall have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date occurring during such period or on such Interest Payment Date, such Holder shall not be required to make such payment to the Company. 
  
 SECTION 11.03. FRACTIONAL SHARES 
  
 The Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon
conversion of a Security. Instead the Company will deliver to the converting Securityholder its check for the current market value of the fractional share. The current market value of a fraction of a share is determined by multiplying the Current
Market Price of a full share by the fraction, and rounding the result to the nearest cent, with 0.5 cents to be rounded up. 
  
 For purposes of this Section, the Current Market Price of a share of Common Stock is the Quoted Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to
the Conversion Date. 
  

 56 

 SECTION 11.04. TAXES ON CONVERSION 
  
 If a Holder submits a Security for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax
due on the issue of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse
to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in
a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations. 
  
 SECTION 11.05. COMPANY TO PROVIDE STOCK 
  
 The Company shall reserve at all times and keep available, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim, out of its authorized but
unissued Common Stock, enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of the Securities. 
  
 All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be fully paid and nonassessable. 
  
 The Company shall endeavor to comply with all applicable securities laws
regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall endeavor to list such shares on each national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or to have such shares approved for quotation
on The Nasdaq National Market or other over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock is traded. 
  
 SECTION 11.06. ADJUSTMENT FOR CHANGE IN CAPITAL STOCK 
  
 If, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company: 
  
 (1) pays a dividend or makes another distribution on the Common Stock payable exclusively in shares of Common Stock; 
  
 (2) subdivides the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares; 
  
 (3) combines the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; 
  
 (4) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on the Common Stock in shares of its Capital Stock (other than Common Stock or rights, warrants or options for its Capital Stock); or 
  
 (5) issues by reclassification of the Common Stock any
shares of its Capital Stock (other than Common Stock or rights, warrants or options for its Capital Stock); 
  

 57 

 then the conversion privilege and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of a Security thereafter converted may receive the number of shares of Capital Stock of the Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action if such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to
such action. 
  
 The adjustment shall become effective immediately
after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. 
  
 If after an adjustment a Holder of a Security upon conversion of such Security may receive shares of two or more classes of
Capital Stock of the Company, the Company shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among such classes or series of Capital Stock. After such allocation, the conversion privilege and the Conversion Price of each
class of Capital Stock shall thereafter be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to the Common Stock in this Article 11. 
  
 SECTION 11.07. ADJUSTMENT FOR RIGHTS ISSUE 
  
 If the Company distributes any rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
for a period expiring within 60 days after the record date for such distribution at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share (as defined in Section 11.11), then, on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.07), the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula: 
  

	 	 	                       O + (N x P)        
  
 AC = CC x                M            
  
                               O + N

			
	 	 	where:	  	 
				
	 	 	 AC
	  	=	  	the adjusted Conversion Price.
				
	 	 	 CC
	  	=	  	the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.07).
				
	 	 	 O
	  	=	  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.07).
				
	 	 	 N
	  	=	  	the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered.

  

 58 

				
	 	 	 P
	  	=	  	the offering price per share of the additional shares.
				
	 	 	 M
	  	=	  	the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.07).

  
 The adjustment shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants (for purposes of this Section 11.07 only, the “Record Date”). 
  
 SECTION 11.08. ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS 
  
 Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 11.08, if the Company
distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any cash, debt securities (or other evidences of indebtedness) or other assets (excluding dividends or distributions for which adjustment is required to be made under Sections 11.06, 11.07 or 11.09),
the Conversion Price shall be reduced in accordance with the following formula: 
  

	 	 	 AC = CC x          M -
P        
                               M

			
	 	 	where:	  	 
				
	 	 	 AC
	  	=	  	the adjusted Conversion Price.
				
	 	 	 CC
	  	=	  	the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.08).
				
	 	 	 M
	  	=	  	the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.08).
				
	 	 	 P
	  	=	  	the aggregate fair market value on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.08) (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and set forth in a certified resolution
filed with the Trustee) of the cash, debt securities (or other evidences of indebtedness) or other assets distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock.

  
 The adjustment shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution (for purposes of this Section 11.08 only, the “Record Date”). 
  
 No adjustment will be made with respect to this Section 11.08 if, in lieu of
such adjustment, the Securityholders, upon conversion, will be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock into which such Securities are convertible, the kind and 

  

 59 

 
amount of cash, debt securities (or other evidences of indebtedness) or other assets comprising the distribution that such Holders would have received had
they converted their Securities immediately prior to the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.08). In addition, no adjustment will be made in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the cash, debt securities (or other
evidences of indebtedness) or other assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, in which case, in lieu of such adjustment, adequate provision shall
be made so that each Securityholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash, debt securities (or other evidences of indebtedness) or other assets such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security on
the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.08). 
  
 SECTION 11.09.
ADJUSTMENT FOR ALL CASH DISTRIBUTION 
  
 Subject to the last
paragraph of this Section 11.09, if the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be reduced in accordance with the following formula:

  

	 	 	 AC = CC x          M -
C        
                               M

			
	 	 	where:	  	 
				
	 	 	 AC
	  	=	  	the adjusted Conversion Price.
				
	 	 	 CC
	  	=	  	the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.09).
				
	 	 	 M
	  	=	  	the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the Record Date (as defined in this Section 11.09).
				
	 	 	 C
	  	=	  	the amount of cash so distributed and not excluded applicable to one share of Common Stock.

  
 The adjustment shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution (for purposes of this Section 11.09 only, the “Record Date”). 
  
 No adjustment will be made in the event that the amount of cash so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, in which case, in lieu of such adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall
have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Security immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the cash. 
  

 60 

 SECTION 11.10. ADJUSTMENT FOR TENDER OR EXCHANGE OFFER 
  
 Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 11.10, in the event that a
tender or exchange offer (other than an odd-lot offer) made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or a portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (including any amendment in effect immediately prior to the
expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and set forth in a certified resolution filed with the
Trustee) that, as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, exceeds 110% of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock at the Expiration Time, the
Conversion Price shall be reduced in accordance with the following formula: 
  

	 	 	 AC = CC ×         O x M        

                         P + (T
x M)

			
	 	 	where:	  	 
				
	 	 	 AC
	  	=	  	the adjusted Conversion Price.
				
	 	 	 CC
	  	=	  	the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time.
				
	 	 	 O
	  	=	  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time.
				
	 	 	 P
	  	=	  	the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to holders of Common Stock based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange
offer) of all shares of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares of Common Stock so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”).
				
	 	 	 T
	  	=	  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) on the Expiration Time.
				
	 	 	 M
	  	=	  	the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock at the Expiration Time.

  
 The adjustment shall
become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. 
  

 61 

 In the event that the Company or any Subsidiary, if applicable, is permanently prevented by applicable
law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. 
  
 SECTION 11.11. CURRENT MARKET PRICE 
  
 For purposes of Sections 11.07, 11.08, 11.09 and 11.10, the Current Market
Price per share of Common Stock on any date means the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock for the five Trading Day period ending on the third Business Day prior to the earlier of the date in question and the Trading Day
before the “ex” date, if any, with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation; provided that if the third Business Day prior to such date is not a Trading Day, then on the last Trading Day immediately prior to the
third Business Day. The term “ex” date, when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first Trading Day on which the Common Stock trades regular way in the market from which the Quoted Price is then to be determined
without the right to receive such issuance or distribution. 
  
 SECTION 11.12.
WHEN ADJUSTMENT MAY BE DEFERRED 
  
 No adjustment in the
Conversion Price need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect. Any adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be, with 0.005 cents and 500/1,000 of a share to be rounded up. 
  
 SECTION 11.13. WHEN NO ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED 
  
 No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a
Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest. 
  
 No
adjustment need be made for a change in the par value (including a change to no par value) of the Common Stock. 
  
 To the extent the Securities become convertible into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

  
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Indenture, no adjustment shall be made in the Conversion Price, which would have the effect of reducing the Conversion Price below the par value of the Common Stock. 
  
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, rights distributed by the Company to its stockholders
pursuant to the Company’s Rights Agreement dated as of December 11, 1996 between the Company and The First National Bank of Boston, as Rights Agent, as it may be amended from time to time, and any successor or similar stockholders rights plan,
which rights are not exercisable until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Triggering Event”) shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Article 11 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be
required) until the occurrence of such Triggering Event. 
  

 62 

 SECTION 11.14. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT 
  
 Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Securityholders a notice of the adjustment.
The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent such notice and a certificate from the Company’s independent public accountants briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate
shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection
thereof. 
  
 SECTION 11.15. VOLUNTARY REDUCTION 
  
 The Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount
for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if the reduction is irrevocable during the period. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the reduction of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 11.15
shall not require the consent of the Trustee or any Securityholder. 
  
 Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced, the Company shall mail to Securityholders and the Trustee a notice of the reduction. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect. The
notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect. 
  
 Subject to the first paragraph of this Section 11.15, the Company may reduce the Conversion Price, for the remaining term of the Securities or any shorter
term, in addition to those adjustments required by Sections 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09 and 11.10, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or
distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. 
  
 SECTION 11.16. NOTICE OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS 
  
 If: 
  
 (1) the Company takes any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Sections 11.06, 11.07, 11.08 or
11.09 (unless no adjustment is to occur pursuant to Section 11.13); 
  
 (2) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 11.17; or 
  

 63 

 (3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, 
  
 the Company shall mail to Securityholders and the Trustee a notice stating the record date
for any such distribution or the effective date of any such subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, lease, liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before such record date.
Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section. 
  
 SECTION 11.17. PROVISIONS IN CASE OF CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OF THE COMPANY OR TRANSFER OR LEASE 
  
 If the Company is a party to a transaction subject to Section 6.01 (other than a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company in a transaction in which the holders of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction do not receive securities, cash or other assets of the Company or any other person) or a merger or binding share exchange
which reclassifies or changes its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the person obligated to deliver securities, cash or other assets upon conversion of Securities shall enter into a supplemental indenture. If the issuer of securities deliverable
upon conversion of Securities is an Affiliate of the successor Company, that issuer shall join in the supplemental indenture. 
  
 The supplemental indenture shall provide that the Holder of a Security may convert it into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which
such Holder would have received immediately after the consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or transfer if such Holder had converted the Security immediately before the effective date of the transaction, assuming (to the extent applicable)
that such Holder (i) was not a constituent person or an Affiliate of a constituent person to such transaction; (ii) made no election with respect thereto; and (iii) was treated alike with the plurality of non-electing Holders. The supplemental
indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Article 11. The successor Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing the supplemental
indenture. 
  
 If this Section 11.17 applies, Section 11.06 shall
not apply to such event. 
  
 SECTION 11.18. COMPANY DETERMINATION FINAL

  
 Subject to compliance with the terms of this Indenture
(including, without limitation, Section 11.14) and of the Securities, any determination which the Company or its Board of Directors must make pursuant to Section 11.03, 11.06, 11.08, 11.10, 11.11 or 11.12 shall be conclusive. 
  
 SECTION 11.19. TRUSTEE’S DISCLAIMER 
  
 The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article
should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no duty to determine the market price or market value of any fractional or other share. The Trustee 

  

 64 

 
has no duty to determine whether any provisions of a supplemental indenture under Section 11.17 are correct. The Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article. Each Conversion Agent other than the Company shall have the same
protection under this Section as the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 11.20. SUCCESSIVE
ADJUSTMENTS 
  
 After an adjustment to the Conversion Price
under this Article 11, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Article 11 shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Price as so adjusted. 
  
 ARTICLE 12. 
  
 SUBORDINATION 
  
 SECTION 12.01. AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE 
  
 The
Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 12; and each person holding any
Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. Only Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Indebtedness) of the Company shall
rank senior to the Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. 
  
 The payment of the principal of and interest (including any Additional Interest) on all Securities issued hereunder (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Purchase Price and Change of Control Purchase
Price) shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company in cash or payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred. 
  
 No provision of this Article 12 shall prevent the occurrence of any Default hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 12.02. PAYMENTS TO HOLDERS 
  
 (a) No payment shall be made in respect of the principal of or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities (including, without
limitation, the Redemption Price, Purchase Price and Change of Control Purchase Price), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first paragraph of Section 12.05, if: 
  
 (1) a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest
or other payment obligations due in respect of any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Designated Senior 

  

 65 

 
Indebtedness of the Company for which there is a period of grace, if such default continues beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument
evidencing such Designated Senior Indebtedness), unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist; or 
  
 (2) a default, other than a payment default, in respect of any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company occurs and is continuing that
then permits holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Company Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Representative or holder of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 12.05, if
the Trustee receives any Company Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to clause (2) above, no subsequent Company Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section 12.02(a) unless and until at least 365 days shall have elapsed since
the initial effectiveness of the immediately prior Company Payment Blockage Notice. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Company Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee (unless such default was waived,
cured or otherwise ceased to exist and thereafter subsequently reoccurred) shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Company Payment Blockage Notice. 
  
 The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities upon the earlier of: 
  
 (i) the date upon which the default is cured or waived or
ceases to exist; or 
  
 (ii) in the case of a
default referred to in clause (2) above, 179 days pass after a Company Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless this Article 12 otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution. 
  
 In the event of acceleration pursuant to Section 7.02, no payment or
distribution shall be made to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of the principal of or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change of Control
Purchase Price), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first paragraph of Section 12.05, until all Senior Indebtedness of the Company has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders
thereof or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. 
  

 66 

 Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary) or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings, all
amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid in full in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders thereof, before any payment is made in respect of the principal of or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Securities (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Purchase Price and Change of Control Purchase Price); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company or
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled,
except for the provision of this Article 12, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or the
Trustee if received by them or it, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of such Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court
order) or their Representative or Representatives, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, after
giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders or the Trustee. 
  
 The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article V shall not be deemed a dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 12.02(a) if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article 6. 
  
 (b) For purposes of this Article 12, the words “cash, property or
securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company, as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is
subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article 12 with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of such the Company which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (1) such Senior Indebtedness is
assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and (2) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation, as the case may
be) are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. 
  
 (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in

cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders shall be subrogated to the extent of any payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 12 (equally and ratably with the holders of all Indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is
entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of such holders to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Securities shall be paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the Holders; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash,

payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article 12 which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed
to be a payment by the Company in respect of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 12 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company on the other hand.

the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Purchase Price and Change of Control
Purchase Price) 

  

 68 

 
as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and
creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee, any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the occurrence of a
Default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 12 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

  
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company
referred to in this Article 12, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders for the
purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article 12. 
  
 SECTION 12.04. AUTHORIZATION TO EFFECT SUBORDINATION

  
 Each Holder, by the acceptance of such Holder’s
Securities, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such person’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee to act as such person’s
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 12.03 at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such
claim, the holders of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or its representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders. 
  
 SECTION 12.05. NOTICE TO TRUSTEE 
  
 The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee and to any Paying Agent other than the Trustee of
any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee or any Paying Agent other than the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article 12 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12 unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a
holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided

  

 69 

 
that if on a date not fewer than one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 12.05, then, notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after
such prior date. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Article 9, and any such payment shall not be subject to the
provisions of this Article 12. 
  
 The Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to establish that such notice has been given by
a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Company held by such person,
the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article 12, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any payment to
such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment. 
  
 SECTION 12.06. TRUSTEE’S RELATION TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS 
  
 The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 in respect of any Senior Indebtedness of the
Company at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 8.11 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. 
  
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the
Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 12, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company if it shall pay over or deliver to any Holder, the Company or any other person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise.

  

 70 

 SECTION 12.07. NO IMPAIRMENT OF SUBORDINATION 
  
 No right of any present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided
shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and
covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. 
  
 SECTION 12.08. CERTAIN CONVERSIONS DEEMED PAYMENT 
  
 For the purposes of this Article 12 only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of any Security in accordance with Article 11
shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of or interest on such Security or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of such Security and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in
satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 11.03), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of any Security in accordance with Article 11 shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of
such Security. For the purposes of this Section 12.08, the term “junior securities” means (i) shares of any stock of any class of the Company, or (ii) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article 12. Nothing
contained in this Article 12 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders, the right, which is
absolute and unconditional, of any Holder to convert such Security in accordance with Article 11. 
  
 SECTION 12.09. ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS 
  
 If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 12 shall (unless the context otherwise
requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 12 in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided,
however, that the first paragraph of Section 12.05 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. 
  
 SECTION 12.10. SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS ENTITLED TO RELY 
  
 The holders of Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Indebtedness) of the Company shall have
the right to rely upon this Article 12, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of any such holder except in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 10.02.

the Securities held by such Holder on July 15, 2008, July 15, 2013 and July 15, 2018 (each a “Purchase Date”) at the Purchase Price (provided that, if the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related
Interest Payment Date, interest shall be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on the relevant record date) upon delivery of a Purchase Notice (that is not subsequently withdrawn) containing the

the Securities to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the Indenture. 
  

 5 

 The Purchase Price may be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash or by the delivery of Common Stock,
or any combination thereof, in the manner described in Section 4.01 of the Indenture. 
  
 Holders have the right to withdraw any Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. 
  
 If cash or securities sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of a Security or
portion thereof to be purchased as of the Purchase Date are deposited with the Paying Agent on the Business Day following the Purchase Date, then, immediately after the Purchase Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such
Security shall cease to accrue, whether or not book-entry transfer is made or such Security is delivered to the Paying Agent. Thereafter, the Holder of such Security shall have no other rights other than the right to receive the Purchase Price upon
surrender of such Security. 
  
 If a Change of Control occurs,
each Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to purchase all of such Holder’s Securities, or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount on the Change of Control Purchase
Date selected by the Company that is not less than 10 nor more than 30 days after the Final Surrender Date (as defined below), at the Change of Control Purchase Price, which Change of Control Purchase Price shall be paid in cash. 
  
 Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all the
outstanding Securities, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company is obligated to mail or cause the Trustee to mail to all Holders of record of the Securities a Change of Control Company Notice describing,
among other things, the occurrence of such Change of Control and of the purchase right arising as a result thereof. The Company must deliver a copy of the Change of Control Company Notice to the Trustee and cause a copy of such notice to be
published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. To exercise the purchase option, a Holder of Securities must surrender, on or before the date which, subject to any contrary requirements of
applicable law, is 60 days after the date of mailing of the Change of Control Company Notice (the “Final Surrender Date”), the Securities with respect to which the right is being exercised, which, in the case of Certificated
Securities, must be duly endorsed for transfer to the Company. 
  
 The term “Change of Control” shall mean either: 
  
 (i) any “person” or “group” is or becomes the “beneficial owner,” directly or indirectly, of shares of the Company’s voting stock representing 50% or more of the total voting power of all of the
Company’s outstanding voting stock or has the power, directly or indirectly, to elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors; or 
  

 6 

 (ii) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, another person or its sells, assigns,
conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event other than pursuant to a transaction in which the persons that
“beneficially owned,” directly or indirectly, the shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to such transaction “beneficially own,” directly or indirectly, shares of the Company’s voting stock representing
at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding voting stock of the surviving or transferee person. 
  
 For purposes of this Change in Control definition only: 
  
 “person” and “group” have the meanings given to them for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor
provisions, and the term “group” includes any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, or any successor provision; 
  
 a “beneficial owner” will be determined in accordance with Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date of the indenture, except that the number of shares of the Company’s voting stock will be deemed to include, in addition to all outstanding shares of our voting stock and unissued shares
deemed to be held by the “person” or “group” or other person with respect to which the change in control determination is being made, all unissued shares deemed to be held by all other persons; 
  
 “beneficially own” and “beneficially owned” have meanings
correlative to that of beneficial owner; 
  
 “unissued
shares” means shares of voting stock not outstanding that are subject to options, warrants, rights to purchase or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days of the date of determination of a change in control; and 
  
 “voting stock” means any class or classes of capital stock or other
interests then outstanding and normally entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in the election of the board of directors, managers or trustees. 
  

	7.	CONVERSION 

  
 A Holder may surrender Securities for conversion into shares of Common Stock on a Conversion Date if, as of such Conversion Date, the Closing Sale Price
of our Common Stock, for at least 20 trading days in the 30 day period ending on the trading day prior to the Conversion Date is at least 110% of the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock on such preceding trading day. 
  
 A Holder may also surrender Securities for conversion into shares of Common
Stock if at any time either: (i) the senior implied rating assigned to the Company by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. has been downgraded to B2 or below, and (ii) the corporate credit rating assigned to the Company by Standard & Poor’s
is downgraded to B or below, for so long as such downgrades remain in effect. 
  

 7 

 In addition, a Holder may surrender for conversion a Security which has been called for redemption
pursuant to Section 5 of this Security, even if the foregoing provisions have not been satisfied, and such Securities may be surrendered for conversion until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date; provided that if
the Company shall default in payment of the Redemption Price, a Holder may surrender Securities for conversion on or after the related Redemption Date. 
  
 In the event that the Company elects to distribute to holders of the Company’s Capital Stock (i) certain rights or warrants entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase our common stock at less than the Current Market Price as defined in Section 11.11 of the Indenture for such issuance, or, (ii) cash, debt securities, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the market
price of our common stock as of the trading day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, a Holder may surrender Securities for conversion on the date the Company gives notice to such Holder of such right, which shall be not
less than 15 days prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution, and such Holder may surrender such Securities for conversion at any time thereafter until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the record date or until the
Company announces that such distribution shall not take place. 
  
 Finally, in the event that the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its assets pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, a Holder
may surrender Securities for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective time of the transaction until 15 days after the actual date of such transaction (assuming, in a case in which the
Company’s stockholders may exercise rights of election, that a Holder of Securities would not have exercised any rights of election as to the stock, other securities or other property or assets receivable in connection therewith and received
per share the kind and amount received per share by plurality of nonelecting shares). 
  
 A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such notice of exercise is
withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Change of Control Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be not
converted. 
  
 Upon conversion, no payment or adjustment for
accrued and unpaid interest on a converted Security (other than the payment of interest to the Holder of a Security at the close of business on a record date pursuant to Section 1 of this Security) or for dividends or distributions on the Common
Stock shall be made. 
  
 The initial conversion price is $9.0345
per share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain events described in sections 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, and 11.10 of the Indenture. No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required unless such
adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided that any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
The Company from time to time may voluntarily reduce the Conversion Price for a period of at least 20 days. 
  

 8 

 The Conversion Price shall be adjusted for dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock payable
in shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock; subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of Common Stock; distributions to all holders of Common Stock of certain rights to purchase shares of Common Stock for a period expiring within
60 days after the record date for such distribution at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share as defined in the Indenture; distributions to such holders of assets or debt securities of the Company or certain rights to
purchase securities of the Company (excluding certain cash dividends or distributions); distributions to such holders consisting exclusively of cash; and in the event that a tender or exchange offer is made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all
or a portion of the Common Stock and the tender or exchange offer requires the payment of consideration per share having a fair market value exceeding 110% of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. 
  
 The number of shares issuable upon conversion of a Security is determined by
dividing the principal amount to be converted by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. The Company will deliver a check for the current market value of such fractional shares rounded to the nearest cent, with 0.5 cents to be rounded
up, based on the Current Market Price of the Common Stock. 
  
 To
convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and sign the conversion notice on the reverse of the Security, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish the appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the
Registrar or Conversion Agent, and (4) pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue or delivery of Common Stock in the name of a Person other than the Holder thereof. In the case of Global Securities,
conversion notices may be delivered and such Securities may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.

  
 If the Company is a party to a consolidation or merger, or a
transfer or a lease of all or substantially all of its assets or a merger which reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock, the right to convert a Security into Common Stock may be changed into a right to convert it into securities, cash
or other assets of the Company or another person. 
  

	8.	SUBORDINATION 

  
 The indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to
the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Any Holder accepting this Security agrees to and shall be bound by such subordination provisions and authorizes the Trustee to give them effect. In addition to all other rights of
the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company described in the Indenture, such Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be 

  

 9 

 
Senior Indebtedness and entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions of the Indenture irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of
any terms of any instrument relating to such Senior Indebtedness or any extension or renewal of such Senior Indebtedness. 
  

	9.	DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE 

  
 The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register the transfer of
or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in
relation thereto by law or permitted by the Indenture. 
  

	10.	AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT, WAIVER 

  
 Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented, with the consent of the Company and the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, and any existing default may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding. Without
the consent of any Securityholder, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended, inter alia, to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of Company obligations to Securityholders in the case of a merger or
acquisition, or to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder. 
  

	11.	DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

  
 An Event of Default includes: default in the payment by the Company of accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities
which has continued for 30 days, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; default by the Company in the payment of principal of the Securities when due and payable, whether or not such payment
shall be prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price to be paid upon a redemption at the option of the Company pursuant to Section 5 of this Security or the Purchase
Price or Change of Control Purchase Price to be paid upon a redemption at the option of the Holder pursuant to Section 6 of this Security, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; failure by
the Company for 90 days after certain notice to it to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements in the Indenture; the Company defaults in the payment when due, including any applicable grace period, in respect of indebtedness for borrowed
money of the Company, which payment is in an amount in excess of $20,000,000, or the Company defaults with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, which default results in acceleration of any such indebtedness which is in an
amount of in excess of $20,000,000; and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries. If an Event of Default occurs and is 

  

 10 

 
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid
interest on the Securities to be immediately due and payable. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities being immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default,
subject to applicable laws. 
  
 Securityholders may not enforce
the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal or premium, if any, or
interest) if it determines in good faith that withholding notice is in their interests. The Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee. 
  

	12.	TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY 

  
 The Trustee and any agent under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for
the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee or agent. 
  

	13.	NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS 

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

	14.	AUTHENTICATION 

  
 This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent on the face hereof. 
  

	15.	ABBREVIATIONS

 Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed
on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any
notice of redemption. 
  

	17.	GOVERNING LAW

$110,000,000 
  
 CABLE DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION 
  
 4.00% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due July 15, 2023 
  
 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
  
 July 8, 2003 
  
 Credit Suisse First Boston LLC 
 c/o Credit Suisse First Boston LLC 
        Eleven Madison Avenue 
        New York, New York 10010-3629 
  
 Dear Sirs: 
  
 Cable Design Technologies Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to Credit Suisse First Boston LLC (the “Initial Purchaser”), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement of even date herewith (the
“Purchase Agreement”), $110,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.00% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due July 15, 2023 (the “Initial Securities”). The Initial Securities will be convertible into shares of
common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the conversion price set forth in the Offering Circular dated July 1, 2003. The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of
July 8, 2003 (the “Indenture”), among the Company and U.S. Bank N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). As an inducement to the Initial Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees with the Initial
Purchaser, for the benefit of (i) the Initial Purchaser and (ii) the holders of the Initial Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Initial Securities (collectively, the “Securities”) from time to time until
such time as such Securities have been sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below) (each of the forgoing a “Holder” and collectively the “Holders”), as follows: 
  
 1. Shelf Registration. (a) The Company shall, at its cost, prepare
and, use its reasonable efforts to file within 150 days after the Closing Date, (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and thereafter use its reasonable efforts to cause
to be declared effective no later than 240 days after the Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement” relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in
Section 5 hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)
(hereinafter, the “Shelf Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder (other than the Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such
Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. In order to have Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Holder thereof shall deliver to the to the Company a
properly-completed and signed Selling Securityholder Notice and Questionnaire in the form attached as Annex A to the Offering Circular, dated as of July 1, 2003, relating to the Initial Securities. 
  
 (b) The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement effective in order to permit the prospectus included therein (the “Prospectus”) to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if
extended pursuant 

  

 1 

 
to Section 2(h) below) from the date of its effectiveness or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise transferred in a manner that results in such securities not being subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and the absence
of a need for a restrictive legend regarding registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) in the opinion of our counsel, are no longer restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof),
assuming for this purpose that the Holders thereof are not affiliates of the Company (in any such case, such period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable efforts
to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period, unless
such action is (i) required by applicable law or (ii) taken by the Company in good faith and contemplated by Section 2(b)(v) below, and the Company thereafter complies with the requirements of Section 2(h). 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply
in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Shelf Registration contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply:

  
 (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to the Initial Purchaser,
prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that the Initial Purchaser (with respect to any
portion of the unsold allotment from the original offering) is participating in the Shelf Registration Statement, shall use its reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as the Initial
Purchaser reasonably may propose; and (ii) give notice to each Holder of the Company’s intention to file the Shelf Registration Statement and include the names of the Holders who propose to sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement as selling securityholders. 
  
 (b) The Company shall
give written notice to the Initial Purchaser and the Holders of the Securities (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made):

  
 (i) when the Shelf Registration Statement or
any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
  
 (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or
the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 
  
 (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; 
  
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
  

 2 

 (v) of (A) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect
to the Company or (B) the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order that the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of
a material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
  
 If the Company shall be required to suspend the use of the Prospectus
pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) above, the Company shall give notice to the Initial Purchaser and the Holders that the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement is suspended (a “Deferral Notice”) and, upon receipt of any Deferral
Notice, the Initial Purchaser and each Holder agrees not to sell any Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until the Initial Purchaser and such Holder receives copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided
for in Section 2(h), or until they are advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such
Prospectus. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, as promptly as is practicable, (y) in the case of clause (v)(A) above, as soon as,
in the judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such development would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and
(z) in the case of clause (v)(B) above, as soon as, in the discretion of the Company, such suspension is no longer appropriate. The periods during which the availability of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus is suspended (each a
“Deferral Period”) shall, without the Company incurring any obligation to pay Additional Interest pursuant to Sections 5(a) and (b), not exceed forty-five (45) days in the aggregate in any three (3) month period or one hundred twenty (120)
days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period. 
  
 (c) The
Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without
charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any,
incorporated by reference). 
  
 (e) The Company shall, during the
Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration
Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 (f) Prior to any public offering of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale
under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such
jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii)
take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
  

 3 

 (g) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable period of time
prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  
 (h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 2(b) above during the period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders or purchasers of the
Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchaser and the Holders in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 2(b) above to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the Prospectus have been
made, then the Initial Purchaser and the Holders shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 1(b) above shall be extended by the number of days from and including
the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchaser and the Holders shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 2(h). 
  
 (i) Not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement,
the Company will provide CUSIP numbers for the Initial Securities and the Common Stock registered under the Shelf Registration Statement, and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for the Initial Securities, in a form eligible for deposit
with The Depository Trust Company. 
  
 (j) The Company will comply
with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the
Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 
  

(k) Within the time period provided for the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (the “Trust Indenture Act”) in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require
the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
  

(l) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such
information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Securities of
any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 
  
 (m) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other
actions, if any, as any Holder shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  

(n) The Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter, all relevant financial and other 

  

 4 

 
records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and
auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such
persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchaser
by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 3 hereof. 
  
 (o) The Company, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion
and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof, and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (it
being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good standing of the Company and its subsidiaries; the qualification of the Company to transact business as foreign
corporations; the due authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 2(m) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the
Securities; the absence of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries; the absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the offering and
sale of the Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in Section 2(m) hereof; the compliance as to form of the Shelf Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by reference therein and of the Indenture with the requirements of
the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and, as of the date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the absence from
the Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented, and from any documents incorporated by reference therein of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)); (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the Securities and (iii) its independent
public accountants to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary
underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72. 
  
 (p) The Company will use its best efforts to (a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Initial Securities, confirm
such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if
so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, or by the managing underwriters, if any. 
  
 (q) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as
a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the “Rules”) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.) thereof, whether as a
Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without
limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement relating to such
Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering 

  

 5 

 
contemplated by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such
Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for
such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 
  
 3. Registration Expenses. (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of and compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement is ever filed or becomes
effective, including without limitation; 
  
 (i)
all registration and filing fees and expenses; 
  
 (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state “blue sky” or securities laws; 
  
 (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Securities to be issued and printing of Prospectuses), messenger
and delivery services and telephone; 
  
 (iv) all
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; 
  
 (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Securities on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and 
  
 (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified
public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 
  
 The Company will bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting
duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the Company. 
  
 (b) In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement required by this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement
(provided that Holders of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Initial Securities shall be deemed to be Holders of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities from which such Common Stock was converted) to act as counsel for the
Holders in connection therewith. 
  
 4. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, and such controlling persons are referred to collectively
as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions
relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus including any document incorporated by reference therein, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus relating to the Shelf Registration Statement, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof;
provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such 

  

 6 

 
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from, the
Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to the Shelf Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder
and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to the Shelf
Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the
extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder results from the fact that there
was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder; provided
further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each
person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders. 
  
 (b) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to
which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to the Shelf Registration Statement, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth in this paragraph
(b), shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect
thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons. 
  
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a
governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 4, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and
provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation,
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any 

  

 7 

 
settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought
hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4(d), the Holders shall not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 
  
 (e) The agreements contained in this Section 4 shall survive the sale of the
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  
 5. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Additional
interest (the “Additional Interest”) with respect to the Initial Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iii) below being herein called a
“Registration Default”): 
  
 (i)
the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission on or prior to the 150th day after the Closing Date; 
  
 (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 240th day after the Closing
Date; or 
  
 (iii) the Shelf Registration
Statement is declared effective by the Commission but (A) the Shelf Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or (B) the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus ceases to be usable in connection with resales of Transfer
Restricted Securities (as defined below), in each case during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus forming part of such Shelf Registration Statement would include any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact 

  

 8 

 
necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or (2) it shall be necessary to amend
such Shelf Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder. 
  
 Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever the reason for any such event and whether it is voluntary or
involuntary or is beyond the control of the Company or pursuant to operation of law or as a result of any action or inaction by the Commission. 
  
 Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of outstanding Initial Securities or, upon conversion of the Initial Securities, on the Common
Stock outstanding shares of (based on the principal amount of the debentures converted into such shares) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults
have been cured, at a rate of 0.50% per annum (the “Additional Interest Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Additional Interest shall accrue or be payable as to any Initial Securities or Common Stock from and after the earlier
of (x) the date such Securities are no longer Transfer Restricted Securities and (y) the expiration of the Shelf Registration Period. 
  
 (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 5(a)(iii) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to the Shelf
Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information
with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material events, with respect to the Company that would need to be
described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to
describe such events as required by paragraph 2(h) hereof; provided, however, that in any case, if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 45 days, Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with
the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured. 
  
 (c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 5(a) will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to the
Initial Securities (provided that Holders of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Initial Securities shall be deemed to be Holders of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities from which such Common Stock was converted). The
amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest Rate by the principal amount of the Initial Securities, further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional
Interest Rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360. 
  
 (d) “Transfer Restricted Securities” means each Security until (i) the date on which such Security has been
effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which such Security is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is saleable
pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 
  
 6. Rules
144 and 144A. The Company shall use its best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will,
upon the request of any Holder, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Transfer Restricted Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A
(including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this 

  

 9 

 
Agreement to prospective purchasers of Securities identified to the Company by the Initial Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder, the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant
to the Exchange Act. 
  
 7. Underwritten Registrations.
Holders of at least 33 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities may elect to have one underwritten offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered
by the Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be selected by the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in such offering, provided that such Managing Underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, when
determining the specified percentage of approval of the aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities, the holders of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Initial Securities shall not be deemed holders of Common Stock, but shall
be deemed to be holders of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities from which such Common Stock was converted. 
  
 No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
  
 8. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 1 hereof may result
in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial
Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Sections 1 hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at
law would be adequate. 
  
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements.
The Company will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The
rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
  
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by
such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents (provided that holders of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Initial Securities shall not be deemed holders of Common Stock, but shall be deemed to be holders of the aggregate
principal amount of Initial Securities from which such Common Stock was converted). Without the consent of the Holder of each Initial Security, however, no modification may change the provisions relating to the payment of Additional Interest.

  
 (d) Notices. All notices and other communications
provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, first-class mail, facsimile transmission, or air courier which guarantees overnight delivery:
