 EXHIBIT 4.3 
 DARDEN RESTAURANTS, INC. 
 OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE AND AUTHENTICATION ORDER 
 FOR 6.800% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2037 
 Pursuant to the Indenture dated as of January 1, 1996 (the “Indenture”) between Darden Restaurants, Inc. (the “Company”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota,
National Association, formerly known as Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on September 14, 2007, this Officers’
Certificate and Authentication Order is being delivered to the Trustee to establish the terms of a series of Securities in accordance with Section 301 of the Indenture, to establish the form of the Securities of such series in accordance with
Section 201 of the Indenture, to request the authentication and delivery of the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture and to comply with the provisions of Section 102 of the Indenture. 
 Capitalized terms used but not defined herein and defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

 A. Establishment of Series Pursuant to Section 301 of Indenture. There is hereby established pursuant to Section 301 of
the Indenture a series of Securities which shall have the following terms (the numbered clauses set forth below correspond to the numbered subsections of Section 301 of the Indenture): 
 (1) The series of Securities hereby being authorized shall bear the title “6.800% Senior Notes due 2037” (referred to herein as
the “Notes”). 
 (2) The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under the
Indenture shall be limited to $300,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Indenture and except for
any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered). 
 (4) The date on which the principal of the Notes is due and payable shall be October 15, 2037. 
 (5) The Notes
shall bear interest at the rate of 6.800% per year (based upon a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) (the “Original Interest Rate”), subject to adjustment as described below, from October 16, 2007, or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2008, until the principal thereof is paid or
made available for payment, to the Person in whose name such Notes are registered at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 Regular Record Date next preceding the April 15 or October 15 Interest Payment Date. Each
April 15 and October 15 shall be an “Interest Payment Date” for the Notes, and the April 1 or October 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding an Interest Payment Date shall be the
“Regular Record Date” for the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. 
  

 The interest rate payable on the Notes shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
if any of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) downgrades (or
subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes (a “rating”). If the rating from any one of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes
shall increase from the Original Interest Rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating: 
  

								
	 Rating Agency
	  	Percentage	 
	 Moody’s
	  	 S&P
	  	 Fitch
	  
	 Ba1
	  	BB+	  	BB+	  	0.250	%
	 Ba2
	  	BB	  	BB	  	0.500	%
	 Ba3
	  	BB-	  	BB-	  	0.750	%
	 B1 or below
	  	B1 or below	  	B1 or below	  	1.000	%

 If more than one of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch decreases its rating to a rating
set forth in the table above, the interest rate on the Notes shall be increased such that the interest rate equals the Original Interest Rate plus the percentages applicable to the lowest two ratings levels of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch in
effect immediately following the decrease. 
 If any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch subsequently increases its rating, the
interest rate on the Notes shall be decreased such that the interest rate equals the Original Interest Rate plus the percentages applicable to the lowest two ratings levels of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch in effect immediately following the
increase. 
 In determining the increase or decrease, if any, in the interest rate on the Notes, the percentage applicable to
the lowest two ratings levels of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch shall be used. Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, shall be made
independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate on the Notes be reduced below the Original Interest Rate and (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Notes exceed 2.000% above the Original
Interest Rate. 
 If any two of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to provide a rating, any subsequent reduction or
increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall result in an interest rate equal to the Original Interest Rate plus twice the applicable percentage set forth in the table above. 
 No adjustments in the interest rate of the Notes shall be made solely as a result of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceasing to provide a
rating. If all of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch cease to provide a rating, the interest rate on the Notes shall increase to or remain at, as the case may be, 2.000% above the Original Interest Rate, until any of Moody’s, S&P or 

  

 2 

 
Fitch subsequently provides a rating. The interest rate on the Notes following such subsequent rating shall be the Original Interest Rate plus twice the
applicable percentage set forth in the table above unless and until two of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch subsequently provide a rating. 
 The interest rate on the Notes shall permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by any or all three rating agencies) if the Notes become
rated A2/A/A or higher by any two of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively (or one of these ratings if only rated by one rating agency), with a stable or positive outlook by both such rating agencies (or one of these ratings if only rated by
one rating agency). 
 Any interest rate increase or decrease described above shall be determined by the Company and shall
take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate. The Company shall provide written notice of any such adjustment to the Trustee on the last day of the applicable interest
period. If the interest rate adjusts more than once during the same interest period, the interest rate for such interest period shall be determined based on the ratings in effect at the end of the second Business Day prior to the end of such
interest period. 
 (6) The interest on each Note that is not represented by a Global Security shall be payable at the
principal corporate trust office of the Trustee; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security
Register. The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest payable at Maturity on each Note that is not represented by a Global Security will be made against presentation of such Note at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee.
Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on each Note that is represented by a Global Security shall be made to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of
Notes represented thereby for all purposes under the Indenture. 
 (7) The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the
Company, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, prior to the Stated Maturity upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount
of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual
basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 35 basis points plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on
or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face thereof, all as provided in the Indenture. No Note of a principal amount of $2.000
or less shall be redeemed in part. 
  

 3 

 For purposes of determining the amount at which the Notes may be redeemed, the following
terms shall have the meanings set forth next to each of them below: 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any
Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or
securities selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee receives fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Banc of America Securities LLC or its affiliates which are primary U.S.
Government securities dealers in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), and their respective successors, and (2) three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the
foregoing or their affiliates shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 (8) The Company shall not be obligated to redeem or purchase any Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provision. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has previously exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in paragraph (7) above, Holders of the Notes may require
the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 principal amount or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess 

  

 4 

 
thereof) of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). 
 Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as
defined below) but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of Notes describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and
offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the
procedures described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the
payment date specified in the notice. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflict and compliance with laws. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
  

	 	(i)	accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

  

	 	(ii)	deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 

  

	 	(iii)	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions
of Notes being purchased. 

 The Paying Agent shall promptly pay, from funds deposited by the Company for such
purpose, to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment in respect of such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered. No Note of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part. 
 The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the 

  

 5 

 
requirements for a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon
a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 For purposes of determining the circumstances under which the Company shall be
required to repurchase Notes at the option of Holders upon a Change of Control, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth next to each of them below: 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating (as defined below) by each of
the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control
(which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade below investment grade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided, that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event
otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of
Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the
reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time
of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without
limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries) becomes the “beneficial
owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Stock measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (3) the first day on which a
majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) pursuant to such
transaction, the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company that has agreed to be bound by the 

  

 6 

 
terms of the Notes and (2)(A) the holders of the Voting Stock (as defined below) of such holding company immediately following that transaction are
substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the
Voting Stock of the holding company. 
 “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change
of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of
determination, members of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) were members of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes or (2) were nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the
approval of a majority of the continuing directors under clause (1) or (2) of this definition who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the
Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination). 
 “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings. 
 “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating
equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s and equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P and Fitch (or, in each case, if such rating agency ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes
publicly available for reasons considered outside of the Company’s control, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any rating agency selected by the Company as a replacement rating agency as set forth in the definition of
“Rating Agencies” below). 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 
 “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases
to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under
the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or any of them, as the case may be. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 
 “Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the
Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person. 
  

 7 

 (9) The Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (16) The Notes shall be issued initially only in the form of one or more Global
Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. The Depositary with respect to such Global Securities shall be The Depository Trust Company. The Global Securities shall bear the legends set forth in Annex A hereto. 
 (19) The Notes shall have such other terms and provisions as are provided in the form set forth in Annex A hereto. 
 B. Establishment of Form of Security Pursuant to Section 201 of Indenture. It is hereby established pursuant to Section 201 of the
Indenture that the Notes shall be substantially in the form attached as Annex A hereto. 
 C. Order for the Authentication and Delivery of
Debt Securities Pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture. It is hereby ordered pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture that the Trustee authenticate, in the manner provided by the Indenture, one Note in the aggregate principal amount
of $300,000,000 registered in the name of Cede & Co., which Note will be duly executed by the proper officers of the Company and delivered to the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, and to deliver said authenticated Note to or upon the
order of Banc of America Securities LLC on October 16, 2007. 
 D. Certification Pursuant to Section 102 of the Indenture.
The undersigned have read the pertinent sections of the Indenture, including Sections 201, 301 and 303 thereof and the definitions in the Indenture relating thereto, and certain other corporate documents and records. In the opinion of the
undersigned, the undersigned have made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable the undersigned to express an informed opinion as to whether or not the conditions precedent to (i) the establishment of (a) a series of
Securities and (b) the form of such Securities, and (ii) the authentication and delivery of such series of Securities, contained in the Indenture have been complied with. In the opinion of the undersigned, such conditions have been
complied with.

 DARDEN RESTAURANTS, INC. 
 6.800% Senior Notes due 2037 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue
of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of January 1, 1996, (herein called the “Indenture,” which term shall have the meaning
assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, formerly known as Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association), as Trustee (herein
called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate of the Company establishing the terms of the Securities of this series
pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and
of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated above, limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000. By the terms of the Indenture, additional Securities
of other separate series, which may vary as to date, amount, Stated Maturity, interest rate or method of calculating the interest rate and in other respects as therein provided, may be issued in an unlimited principal amount. 
 The interest rate payable on the Securities of this series shall be subject to adjustment from time to time if any of Moody’s Investors Service,
Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating
assigned to the Securities of this series (a “rating”). If the rating from any one of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Securities of this series
shall increase from the Original Interest Rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating: 
  

								
	 Rating Agency
	  	Percentage	 
	 Moody’s
	  	 S&P
	  	 Fitch
	  
	 Ba1
	  	BB+	  	BB+	  	0.250	%
	 Ba2
	  	BB	  	BB	  	0.500	%
	 Ba3
	  	BB-	  	BB-	  	0.750	%
	 B1 or below
	  	B1 or below	  	B1 or below	  	1.000	%

 If more than one of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch decreases its rating to a rating set forth in
the table above, the interest rate on the Securities of this series shall be increased such that the interest rate equals the Original Interest Rate plus the percentages applicable to the lowest two ratings levels of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch
in effect immediately following the decrease. 
 If any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch subsequently increases its rating, the interest
rate on the Securities of this series shall be decreased such that the interest rate equals the Original Interest Rate plus the percentages applicable to the lowest two ratings levels of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch in effect immediately following
the increase. 
  

 A-4 

 In determining the increase or decrease, if any, in the interest rate on the Securities of this series,
the percentage applicable to the lowest two ratings levels of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch shall be used. Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s, S&P
or Fitch, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate on the Securities of this series be reduced below the Original Interest Rate and (2) the total increase in the interest rate on
the Securities of this series exceed 2.000% above the Original Interest Rate. 
 If any two of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch ceases to
provide a rating, any subsequent reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall result in an interest rate equal to the Original Interest Rate plus twice the applicable percentage set forth in the table
above. 
 No adjustments in the interest rate of the Securities of this series shall be made solely as a result of Moody’s, S&P or
Fitch ceasing to provide a rating. If all of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch cease to provide a rating, the interest rate on the Securities of this series shall increase to or remain at, as the case may be, 2.000% above the Original Interest Rate,
until any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch subsequently provides a rating. The interest rate on the Securities of this series following such subsequent rating shall be the Original Interest Rate plus twice the applicable percentage set forth in the
table above unless and until two of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch subsequently provide a rating. 
 The interest rate on the Securities of
this series shall permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by any or all three rating agencies) if the Securities of this series become rated A2/A/A or higher by any
two of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively (or one of these ratings if only rated by one rating agency), with a stable or positive outlook by both such rating agencies (or one of these ratings if only rated by one rating agency).

 Any interest rate increase or decrease described above shall be determined by the Company and shall take effect from the first day of the
interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate. The Company shall provide written notice of any such adjustment to the Trustee on the last day of the applicable interest period. If the interest rate adjusts
more than once during the same interest period, the interest rate for such interest period shall be determined based on the ratings in effect at the end of the second Business Day prior to the end of such interest period. 
 The Securities of this series are subject, at the option of the Company, to redemption, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, prior to the
Stated Maturity upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 35
basis points plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities of
record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 
  

 A-5 

 For purposes of determining the amount at which the Securities of this series may be redeemed, the
following terms shall have the meanings set forth next to each of them below: 
 “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any
Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities
selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with
customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities of this series. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee receives fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Banc of America Securities LLC or its affiliates which are primary U.S. Government
securities dealers in The City of New York (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), and their respective successors, and (2) three other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing or their
affiliates shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer. 
 In the
event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. No Security of this
series of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. 
 If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below)
occurs, unless the Company has previously exercised its right to redeem the Securities of this series as described above, Holders of the Securities of this series may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 principal
amount or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the 

  

 A-6 

 
Securities of this series pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities of this series repurchased, to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). 
 Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but
after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of the Securities of this series describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event
and offering to repurchase the Securities of this series on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”),
pursuant to the procedures described in such notice. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or
prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable
in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of this series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the
Securities of this series, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of
such conflict and compliance with laws. 
 On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: 
  

	 	(i)	accept for payment all Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; 

  

	 	(ii)	deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series properly
tendered; and 

  

	 	(iii)	deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of this series properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series being purchased. 

 The Paying Agent shall promptly pay,
from funds deposited by the Company for such purpose, to each Holder of Securities of this series properly tendered the Change of Control Payment in respect of such Securities of this series, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or
cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Security of this series equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities of this series surrendered. No Securities of this series of a principal amount of $2,000 or
less shall be repurchased in part. 
 The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes an offer in
the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for 

  

 A-7 

 
a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities of this series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its
offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Securities of this series if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the
Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. 
 For purposes of determining the circumstances under which the Company
shall be required to repurchase Securities of this series at the option of Holders upon a Change of Control, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth next to each of them below: 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities of this series are rated below an Investment Grade Rating (as defined below) by each
of the Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control
(which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities of this series is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade below investment grade by any of the Rating Agencies); provided, that a Below Investment
Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of
the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s
request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have
occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 
 “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the
following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the
Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including,
without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries) becomes the “beneficial
owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s Voting Stock measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (3) the first day on which a
majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) pursuant to such
transaction, the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company that has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Securities of this series and (2)(A) the holders of the Voting Stock (as defined below) of such holding company
immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person is the beneficial owner, directly
or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the holding company. 
  

 A-8 

 “Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a
Below Investment Grade Rating Event. 
 “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, members of the
Company’s Board of Directors who (1) were members of such Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Securities of this series or (2) were nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a
majority of the continuing directors under clause (1) or (2) of this definition who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy
statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination). 
 “Fitch”
means Fitch Ratings. 
 “Investment Grade Rating” means a rating equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent) by Moody’s
and equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent) by S&P and Fitch (or, in each case, if such rating agency ceases to rate the Securities of this series or fails to make a rating of the Securities of this series publicly available for reasons
considered outside of the Company’s control, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any rating agency selected by the Company as a replacement rating agency as set forth in the definition of “Rating Agencies” below).

 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. 
 “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the
Securities of this series or fails to make a rating of the Securities of this series publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule
15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a Board Resolution) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or any of them, as the case may be. 
 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon
compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the 

  

 A-9 

 
Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the
provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have
made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall
not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth and set forth herein, the transfer of this Security is registrable in
the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series
and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations (including, if this Security is a Global Security, certain additional limitations) therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a
different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 
  

 A-10 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due
presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Securities
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

extended by one month for each month or portion of a month during which a Registration Statement’s effectiveness has lapsed or been suspended), whichever is longer)(the “Expiration Date”), and subject to the following
terms and conditions: 

 1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be
maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Warrant Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Warrant Holder of this Warrant as the
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Warrant Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 2. Investment Representation. The Warrant Holder by accepting this Warrant represents that the Warrant Holder is acquiring this Warrant for
its own account or the account of an affiliate for investment purposes and not with the view to any offering or distribution and that the Warrant Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the underlying Warrant Shares in violation
of applicable securities laws. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that the certificates representing any Warrant Shares will bear a legend indicating that they have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“1933 Act”) and may not be sold by the Warrant Holder except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements of the 1933 Act and in accordance with federal and state
securities laws. If this Warrant was acquired by the Warrant Holder pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act afforded by Regulation S thereunder, the Warrant Holder acknowledges and covenants that this Warrant may
not be exercised by or on behalf of a Person during the one year distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) following the date hereof. “Person” means an individual, partnership, firm, limited liability

rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, following the effectiveness of an amendment to its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized common stock, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number
of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 4. Registration of Transfers and Exchange of Warrants. 
 a. Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company shall register the transfer of any
portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 11. Upon any such
registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the
transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance
of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant. 
 b. This Warrant is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 11 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which
may then be purchased hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange. 
 5. Exercise of Warrants. 

a. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed to the
Company, at its address set forth in Section 11, and upon payment and delivery of the Exercise Price per Warrant Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Warrant Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in lawful money of the
United States of America, in cash or by certified or official bank check or checks, to the Company, all as specified by the Warrant Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 7 business days
after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on
transfer described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act. Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to
receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. 
 b. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or
attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased. 
 c. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the
attached Form of Election To Purchase. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to
purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.

 d. (i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the holder of this Warrant may, at its election exercised in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the
Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”): 
 Net Number = (A x (B - C))/B 
  

	 	(ii)	For purposes of the foregoing formula: 

 A= the total
number shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised. 
 B= the last reported sale price (as reported by Bloomberg) of
the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice. 
 C= the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect at
the time of such exercise. 
 e. The holder of this Warrant agrees not to elect a Cashless Exercise for a period
of six (6) months. The holder of this Warrant also agrees not to elect a Cashless Exercise so long as there is an effective registration statement for the Warrant Shares. 
 6. Maximum Exercise. The Warrant Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant on a Date of Exercise in connection with that number
of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Warrant Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date. This Section 6 may be waived or amended only with the consent of the Holder and the consent of holders of a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company who are not
Affiliates. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the term “Affiliate” shall mean any person: (a) that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common
control with, the Company; or (b) who beneficially owns (i) any shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the Company’s Common Stock Purchase Warrant dated October 14, 2005, or (iii) this
Warrant. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.

 7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The character of the shares of stock
or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefore, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events, and all such adjustments shall be cumulative: 
 a. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc. The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of
shares of Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar
event affecting the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities. 
 b. Adjustment for Reorganization,
Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity
of such consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”), then, in each case, the holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation
or effective date of such Reorganization (the “Effective Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities at any time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant issuable on such exercise prior to the
Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment
as provided in this Warrant). 
 c. Certificate as to Adjustments. In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the
price or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company,
setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. 
 d. The Company fails to meet certain earnings per share projections. In the
event the Company earns between $0.0054 and $0.0033 per share (where such earnings in this paragraph shall always be defined as Earnings before Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBTDA”) from recurring operations excluding any one time
expenses using a fully diluted shares outstanding of 197,277,632 (the per share EBTDA figure is subject to adjustment per any reduction or increase in shares outstanding at year end)), the warrant exercise price shall be reduced proportionately by
0% if the earnings are $0.0054 per share and by 40% if the earnings are $0.0033 or less per share. For example, if the Company earns $0.0043 per share, or 20% below $0.0054 per share, then the warrant exercise price shall be reduced by 20%. Such
reduction shall be made at the time the December 31st, 2005 financial results are reported and shall be made from the starting exercise price of the
warrants being the exercise price of the warrants at that time, and shall be cumulative upon any other changes to the exercise price of the warrant that may already have been made. 
  

 5 

 e. The Company sells, grants or issues any shares, options, warrants, or any
instrument convertible into shares or equity in any form below $0.06 per share. In the event the Company sells, grants or issues any shares, options, warrants, or any instrument convertible into shares or equity in any form below $0.06 per share
the warrant exercise price shall be reduced proportionately. For example, if the Company sells, grants or issues any shares, options, warrants, or any instrument convertible into shares or equity in any form at $0.048 per share, or 20% below $0.06
per share, then the warrant exercise price shall be reduced by 20%. Such reduction shall be made at the time such transaction is made, and shall be cumulative upon any other changes to the exercise of the warrant that may already have been made.

 8. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the
exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If
any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such
fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number. 
 9. Sale or Merger of the
Company. Upon a Change in Control, the restriction contained in Section 6 shall immediately be released and the Warrant Holder will have the right to exercise this Warrant concurrently with such Change in Control event. For purposes of this
Warrant, the term “Change in Control” shall mean a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another company or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company to another company or entity not controlled by the then existing stockholders of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions. 
 10. Issuance of Substitute Warrant. In the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or a reclassification of Company shares of stock, which results in an adjustment to the number of
shares subject to this Warrant and/or the Exercise Price hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Warrant Holder a substitute Warrant reflecting the adjusted number of shares and/or Exercise Price upon the surrender of this Warrant to the
Company. 
 11. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
given (i) on the date they are delivered if delivered in person; (ii) on the date initially received if delivered by facsimile transmission followed by registered or certified mail confirmation; (iii) on the date delivered by an
