shall, if required by the Board, refund all or such part of the sums paid to or for the benefit of his by way of salary, bonus or benefits during the relevant period as the Board may reasonably determine. The amount to be refunded shall not,
however, exceed the amount of damages or compensation and interest thereon recovered by the Executive, less any unrecovered costs borne by him, in connection with the recovery of such damages or compensation, and shall not exceed the total

 8

	12.1	The Company shall make contributions of 7% of the Executive’s annual basic salary, less any deductions for tax or NI contributions required by law to an Inland Revenue approved

conditions of such scheme from time to time in force. Details of such scheme can be obtained from the HR Department. The Company reserves the right to terminate or 

  

 9 

 substitute other scheme(s) for such scheme or amend the scale of benefits of such scheme including the
level of benefits. If any scheme provider (including but not limited to any insurance company) refuses for any reason (whether based on its own interpretation of the terms of the insurance policy or otherwise) to provide any benefits to the
Executive, the Company shall not be liable to provide any such benefits itself or any compensation in lieu thereof. 
  

	12.2	Any actual or prospective loss of entitlement to private medical insurance benefits shall not limit or prevent the Company from exercising its right to terminate the Employment in
accordance with Clauses 2 or 17 hereof or otherwise and the Company shall not be liable for any such loss. 

  

	13.	Reasonableness of Restrictions 

  
 The Executive recognises that, whilst performing his duties for the Company, he will have access to and come into contact with trade secrets and
confidential information belonging to the Company or to Associated Companies and will obtain personal knowledge of and influence over its or their customers and/or employees. The Executive therefore agrees that the restrictions contained or referred
to in Clauses 14 and 16 and Schedule 1 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Associated Companies both during and after the termination of his employment. 
  

	14.	Confidentiality

results business methods and processes, technical information, stock levels, budgets, management accounts, trading statements and other financial reports, any document marked ‘Confidential’ (or with a similar expression), or any
information which the Executive has been told is confidential or which he might reasonably expect the Company would regard as confidential, or any information which has been given to the Company or Associated Company in confidence by customers,
suppliers or other persons. 
  

	14.2	The Executive shall not at any time during the continuance of his employment with the Company make any notes or memoranda relating to any matter within the scope of the
Company’s business, dealings or affairs otherwise than for the benefit of the Company or any Associated Company. 

  

	14.3	The obligations contained in Clause 14.1 shall not apply to any disclosures required by law, and shall cease to apply to any information or knowledge which may subsequently come
into the public domain after the termination of employment other than by way of unauthorised disclosure. 

  

	15.	Intellectual Property, Inventions and Patents 

  

	15.1	All records, documents, papers (including copies and summaries thereof), works and any other intellectual property and related rights (“Works”) made or acquired by the

of any such works and the right not to have any such works subjected to derogatory treatment. 

  

	15.3	The Executive and the Company acknowledge the provisions of Sections 39 to 42 of the Patents Act 1977 (“the Act”) relating to the ownership of employees’ inventions

Company his rights in relation to such inventions and will deliver to the Company all documents and other materials relating to them. The Company will pay to the Executive such compensation for the licence or assignment as the Company will determine
in its absolute discretion, subject to Section 40 of the Act. 

  

	16.	Post-Termination Obligations 

  

	16.1	The Executive agrees that he will observe the post-termination obligations set out in Schedule 1 hereto.

	17.2	Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Executive’s Employment shall be deemed to have terminated automatically and by mutual consent on the
date of the Executive’s 60th birthday. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive’s Employment
terminates pursuant to this Clause 17.2, the Company shall pay the Executive’s remuneration and benefits up to and including the date of his 60th birthday and thereafter no amounts shall be due and owing from the Company to the Executive. 

  

	17.3	On termination of the Employment, the Executive shall forthwith return to the Company in accordance with its instructions all equipment, correspondence, records, specifications,

which it or the Executive is required to give, subject to any reduction under Clause 17.9. For the avoidance of doubt, such payment or payments shall exclude any eligibility to receive any bonus during this period but shall include the value of any
benefits, commission, or holiday entitlement which would have accrued to the Executive had he been employed until the expiry of his notice entitlement under Clause 2 above and, further, the Executive shall have no entitlement to such payment, or
payments unless and until the Company notifies the Executive in writing of its decision to make such payment(s) to him. 

  
 Garden Leave 
  

	17.5	In the event that the Company exercises its rights under Clause 17.4.1 above, or where the Executive seeks to resign without giving such notice, the Company may, at its absolute

or officers of the Company and any Associated Company. 

  

 15 

	17.6	During the Garden Leave Period the Company shall continue to pay the Executive his basic salary, (at the rate which is applicable at the commencement of the Garden Leave Period),
and to make available to him all other benefits to which he is entitled under this Agreement excluding any eligibility to receive any bonus relating to that period. Any holiday entitlement which has accrued to the Executive as at the commencement of
the Garden Leave Period, and any holiday entitlement which continues to accrue, shall be deemed to be taken by the Executive during such period. 

  

	17.7	The Company may, at its absolute discretion, appoint another employee of the Company to carry out some or all of the Executive’s duties during the Garden Leave Period.

explained in Clause 14.1 above) relating or belonging to the Company or any Associated Company). 

  

 16 

 The Executive’s Duty to Mitigate 
  

	17.9	Where the Company decides to exercise its power under Clause 17.4.2 to make any such payment(s) to the Executive, the Executive undertakes to take all reasonable and necessary steps
to find alternative employment to commence within a period equivalent to the notice period set out in Clause 2 above (or where notice has been served, the unexpired period of notice) commencing on the Termination Date. The Company may, in its
absolute discretion, reduce the amount or amounts of any such payment(s) by such an amount as it shall determine to reflect the Executive’s actual mitigation, or prospective, or potential to mitigate. For the avoidance of doubt, such reduction
may result in the cessation of installment payments, or the Executive being entitled to no payment. 

  

	17.10	The Company shall have the right to suspend the Executive on full pay pending any investigation into any potential dishonesty, gross misconduct or any other circumstances which may
give rise to a right to the Company to terminate pursuant to Clause 17.1 above. 

  

	17.11	The termination of the Employment shall be without prejudice to any right the Company may have in respect of any breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement
which may have occurred prior to such termination.

Company, save as a former employee for the purpose of communicating with prospective employers or complying with any applicable statutory requirements. 

  

 17 

	18.	Directorships 

  

	18.1	The Executive shall forthwith resign in writing from all directorships, trusteeships and other offices he may hold from time to time with the Company or any Associated Company

	18.1.1	the termination of his employment; or 

  

	18.1.2	either the Company or the Executive serving on the other notice of termination of the Employment; or 

  

	18.1.3	the Company exercising its rights under Clause 17.4 above. 

  

	18.2	In the event of the Executive failing to comply with his obligations under Clause 18.1 above, he hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorises the Company to appoint some person
in his name and on his behalf to sign or execute any documents and/or do all things necessary or requisite to give effect to such resignations as referred to in Clause 18.1 above. 

  

	19.	Liquidation for Reconstruction or Amalgamation 

  
 The Executive shall have no claim against the Company if the Employment is terminated by reason of the liquidation of the Company for the purposes of
amalgamation or reconstruction provided that he is offered employment with any concern or undertaking resulting from such amalgamation or reconstruction on terms and conditions which, taken as a whole, are not substantially less favourable than the
terms of this Agreement. 
  

	20.	Change of Control 

  

	20.1	If within the period of six months immediately following a Change of Control either: 

  

	20.1.1	the Company gives notice to terminate the Executive’s employment; or 

  

 18

all benefits (excluding bonus), without any reduction of such payment if the Executive commences alternative employment. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payment will be deemed to be inclusive of, and thereby extinguish, the Executive’s

to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date, the Holders on such date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, any notice, declaration or direction
referred to in the next paragraph. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Trustee
from any Holder of (i) any notice of default or breach referred to in Section 5.1(6), if such default or breach has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall not have given such a notice to the Company, (ii) any declaration of acceleration
referred to in Section 5.2, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall not have given such a declaration to the Company, or (iii) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, if the Trustee shall not have taken the
action specified in such direction, then, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), a record date shall automatically and without any action by the Company or the Trustee be set for determining the Holders entitled to join in such declaration or
direction, which record date shall be the close of business on the tenth day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) following the day on which the Trustee receives such declaration or direction, and, with respect
to clause (i), the Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to join in such notice of default. Promptly after such receipt by the Trustee of any such declaration or direction referred to in clause
(ii) or (iii), and promptly after setting any record date with respect to clause (i), and as soon as practicable thereafter, the Trustee shall notify the Company and the Holders of any such record date so fixed. The Holders on such record date (or
their duly appointed agents or proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such notice, declaration or
direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities on such record date (or their duly appointed agents or proxies) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such
notice, declaration or direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent or proxy thereof) from
giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a notice, declaration or direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of 
  

 13 

 such period, identical to, the notice, declaration or direction to which such record date relates, in which event a new
record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. In addition, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any notice, declaration or direction of the type referred to in this paragraph given at any time
to the Trustee and the Company by Holders (or their duly appointed agents or proxies) of the requisite principal amount of Securities on the date such notice, declaration or direction is so given. 
  
 (6) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election,
waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything
done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 
  
 (7) The provisions of this Section 1.4 are subject to the provisions of Section 9.5. 
  
 SECTION 1.5 Notices, Etc. to the Trustee and Company. 
  
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of Holders of Securities or
other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
  
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder of Securities or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing, mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or telecopied and confirmed by mail, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by hand or overnight courier, addressed to the Trustee at U.S. Bank National Association, 60 Livingston Avenue, St. Paul, MN
55107, Attention: Corporate Trust Department, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Holders of Securities by the Trustee to or with a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and received at its Corporate Trust Office; or

  
 (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder of Securities
shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing, mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or telecopied and confirmed by mail, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by hand or overnight
courier, addressed to the Company at 199 Riverneck Road, Chelmsford, Massachusetts 01824-2820 Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 
  
 SECTION 1.6 Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver. 
  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides
for notice to Holders of Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid or delivered by an overnight delivery service, to each Holder of a Security affected by such
event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
  

 14 

 Neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder
of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail,
then such notification to Holders of Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. 

 
 Such notice shall be deemed to have been given when such notice is mailed,
whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. 
  
 Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
  
 SECTION 1.7 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 
  
 The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof. 
  
 SECTION 1.8 Successors and Assigns. 
  
 All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
  
 SECTION 1.9
Severability Clause. 
  
 In case any provision in this
Indenture or the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
  
 SECTION 1.10 Benefits of Indenture. 
  
 Subject to Section 3.13, nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 1.11 Governing Law. 
  
 THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAWS AND RULE 327(B).

  

 15 

 SECTION 1.12 Legal Holidays. 
  
 In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date, Purchase Date or Stated Maturity of any
Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert his Security shall not be a Business Day at a Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or
of the Securities) payment of principal of or interest on, or the payment of the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Repurchase Price (whether the same is payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock, as the case may be) with respect to, or delivery
for conversion of, such Security need not be made at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as the case may be, on or by such day, but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion, as
the case may be, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date, Purchase Date or at the Stated Maturity or by such last day for conversion; provided, however, that in the case that
payment is made on such succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date, Purchase Date, Stated Maturity or last day for conversion,
as the case may be. 
  
 SECTION 1.13 Conflict With Trust Indenture Act.

  
 If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a
provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that
may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. Until such time as this Indenture shall be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, this Indenture,
the Company and the Trustee shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act to the same extent as would be the case if this Indenture were so qualified on the date hereof.

 [FORM OF REVERSE] 
  

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its “2% Convertible Senior Notes due May 1, 2024”
(herein called the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $125,000,000, issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of April 29, 2004 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S.
Bank National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made 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. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the
Security or Securities to be exchanged, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Trustee upon such surrender by the Holder will issue the new Securities in the requested denominations. 
  
 In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of, and
interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, any Security or the last day on which a Holder of a Security has a right to convert his Security shall be, at any Place of Payment or Place of Conversion as the case may be, a day on which banking
institutions at such Place of Payment or Place of Conversion are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, then payment of principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), or delivery for conversion of such Security
need not be made on or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding day at such place which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close, with the same force and
effect as if made on the date for such payment or by such last day for conversion, and no interest or Additional Interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date. 
  
 No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. 
  
 The Securities will rank pari passu in right of payment to all unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness of the Company. 
  
 Subject to and in compliance with the Indenture, the Securities are subject to purchase at the option of the Holder on May 1, of each of 2009, 2014 and
2019, in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be repurchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Purchase Date; provided, however, that installments of interest, if
any, on Securities with an Interest Payment Date on or prior to such Purchase Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates. 

 
 If a Designated Event occurs at any time prior to the maturity of the
Security, the Holder of this Security, at the Holder’s option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase this Security (or any portion of the principal 
  

 23 

 amount hereof that is at least U.S. $1,000 or an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the
portion of the principal amount of this Security to be Outstanding after such repurchase is at least equal to U.S. $1,000) for cash, on a repurchase date that is not less than 20 nor more than 35 Business Days after the date of the Company’s
notice of the Designated Event, at a Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date. 
  
 Subject to and in compliance with the Indenture, the Securities will be redeemable at the option of the Company at any time
on or after May 1, 2009, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders prior to the Redemption Date at a Redemption Price payable in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount (the “Redemption
Price”) together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that (1) installments of interest, if any, on Securities with an Interest Payment Date on or prior to
such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates and (2) the Company may not redeem any Securities if the Company has
failed to pay any interest on the Securities and such failure to pay is continuing, or if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated. 
  
 In the event of a redemption of the Securities, the Company will not be required (a) to register the transfer or exchange of Securities for a period of 15
days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities called for such redemption or (b) to register the transfer or exchange of any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption. 
  
 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Security is entitled, at its option, to convert any Security that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount or the entire outstanding principal amount of this Security into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as
to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion and subject to the adjustments described below, as follows:

  
 (1) if, on or prior to May 1, 2019, the Closing Sale Price of
the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the period of the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the eleventh Trading Day of any fiscal quarter is more than 120% of the then current Conversion Price of the Securities, then the Holder thereof
will be entitled to convert such Security until and including the eleventh Trading Day of the immediately following fiscal quarter; 
  
 (2) if, on any date after May 1, 2019, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is more than 120% of the then current Conversion Price of the
Securities, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security at all times thereafter; 
  
 (3) if the Company elects to call the Securities for redemption, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security (or the portion of the
Security called for redemption, if less than all) until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date; 
  

 24 

 (4) if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or
warrants entitling them to purchase Common Stock at less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day preceding the declaration for such distribution, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security in
the period described below; 
  
 (5) if the Company distributes to
all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, cash, assets or debt securities of the Company or any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary, which distribution has a per share value as determined by the Board of Directors exceeding 5% of the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day preceding the declaration of such distribution, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security in the period described below; or 
  
 (6) if the Company becomes a party to a consolidation, merger or sale of all
or substantially all of the Company’s assets where such consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets constitutes a Change in Control or such an event occurs that would have been a Change in Control but
for the occurrence of one or more of the exceptions (I) and (II) to the definition of Change in Control contained in the proviso immediately following Section 13.3(2)(iii) of the Indenture, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such
Security in the period described below. 
  
 A Security for which a
Holder has delivered a repurchase notice as described herein may be surrendered for conversion only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with the Indenture. 
  
 In the case of a distribution contemplated in clauses (4) and (5) above, the Company will notify Holders at least 20 days
prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution (the “Distribution Notice”). Once the Company has given the Distribution Notice, Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of
business on the last Business Day preceding the ex-dividend date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. If in the future the Company adopts a Rights Plan, Holders will not have any conversion right pursuant to
clause (4) above or otherwise, solely as a result of the issuance of Rights pursuant to the Rights Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a distribution contemplated in clauses (4) and (5) above, Holders may not convert the Securities
if the Holders may participate in such distribution without converting their Securities. In the event of a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets as contemplated in clause (6) above, the Company will
notify Holders at least 20 days prior to the anticipated closing date of such transaction (the “Merger Notice”). Once the Company has given the Merger Notice, the Holders may, in the event of such consolidation, merger or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, as contemplated in clause (6) above, surrender Securities for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction until the date
which is 15 days after the actual effective date of such transaction. 
  
 Furthermore, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, at any time prior to May 1, 2019, the Holder of a Security is entitled, at its option, to convert the principal amount of this Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof or the entire outstanding principal amount of this Security) for the five Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the average of the Trading Prices for the Securities
in such period was less than 98% of the average Conversion Value for the Securities during such period. 
  

 25 

 The “Trading Price” of this Security on any date of determination means the average of the
secondary market bid quotations per $1,000 principal amount of this Security obtained by the Trustee for $2,000,000 principal amount of this Security at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such determination date from three independent
nationally recognized securities dealers the Company selects; provided that if three such bids cannot reasonably be obtained by the Trustee, but two such bids are obtained, then the average of the two bids shall be used, and if only one such bid can
reasonably be obtained by the Trustee, then one bid shall be used. If the Trustee cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $2,000,000 principal amount of this Security from a nationally recognized securities dealer, then the Trading Price per
$1,000 principal amount of this Security will be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Common Stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of this Security. 
  
 In connection with any conversion upon satisfaction of the above Trading
Price condition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of this Security unless the Company has requested such determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless the Holder provides the
Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of this Security would be less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of $1,000 principal amount of this Security. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of this Security beginning on the next trading date and on each successive trading day until the Trading
Price per $1,000 principal amount of this Security is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Common Stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of this Security.

  
 A Holder may convert this Security, subject to the terms and
conditions provided above and in the Indenture, at any time on or before the close of business on the date of Maturity (or in case the Holder hereof has exercised his right to require the Company to purchase or repurchase this Security or the
Company has called this Security for redemption or such portion hereof, until the Business Day immediately preceding, but (unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption, purchase or repurchase, as the case may be) not after,
the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Repurchase Date as the case may be) to convert this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is an integral multiple of U.S.
$1,000, provided that the unconverted portion of such principal amount is U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company at an initial Conversion Rate of
33.0797 shares of Common Stock for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Securities (or at the then current adjusted Conversion Rate if an adjustment has been made as provided in the Indenture) by surrender of this Security, duly endorsed or assigned
to the Company or in blank. 
  
 In order to convert this Security,
the Holder shall deliver the irrevocable conversion notice hereon duly executed and completed, to the Company at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, 
  

 26 

 or at such other office or agency of the Company, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto and subject to
the right of the Company to terminate the appointment of any Conversion Agent (as defined below) as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may
designate (each a “Conversion Agent”). 
  
 In case such
surrender shall be made during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date, the conversion notice shall be accompanied by payment
in New York Clearing House or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security being surrendered for conversion, less any previously due interest
payment as of the Conversion Date as to which the Company is in arrears. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Security or a portion hereof has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date, is repurchasable on a Repurchase Date or purchasable on
a Purchase Date occurring, in any such case, during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such succeeding Interest Payment Date, and as a result, the
right to convert this Security would otherwise terminate in such period if not exercised, and this Security is surrendered for conversion during such period, then the Holder of this Security on such Regular Record Date will be entitled to receive
the amount of interest accruing hereon from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of such conversion to such succeeding Interest Payment Date and the Holder of this Security who converts this Security or a portion hereof during such
period shall not be required to pay such amount upon surrender of this Security for conversion. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and, in the case of a conversion after the close of business on the Regular Record Date
next preceding any Interest Payment Date and on or before the close of business on such Interest Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of this Security (or any Predecessor Security of record as of such Regular Record Date) to receive the related
installment of interest to the extent and under the circumstances provided in the Indenture, no cash payment or adjustment is to be made on conversion for interest, if any, accrued hereon from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of
conversion, or for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion hereof. The Company shall thereafter deliver to the Holder the fixed number of shares of Common Stock into which this Security is convertible and such delivery will be deemed to
satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of this Security. No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest (calculated to the nearest
1/100th of a share) the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 The Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 In addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party or the conveyance, transfer, sale or
lease of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then Outstanding, will be convertible thereafter, during

  

 27 

 the period this Security shall be convertible as specified above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and
other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Security could have been converted immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease (assuming such holder of Common Stock is not a Constituent Person or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind and
amount received per share by a plurality of Non-electing Shares). 
  
 No adjustment in the Conversion Rate will be made until such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such rate, provided that, any adjustment that would otherwise be made will be carried forward and taken
into account in the computation of any subsequent adjustment. 
  
 If this Security is a Registrable Security (as defined in the Indenture), then the Holder of this Security [if this security is a global security, then insert — (including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this
Security)] and the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion hereof is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2004, between the Company and the Initial Purchasers (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”). 
  
 Whenever in this Security there is a
reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of or interest on, or in respect of, any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Interest payable as described in the Registration Rights
Agreement to the extent that, in such context, Additional Interest is, was or would be payable in respect of such Security to the Holder hereof and express mention of the payment of Additional Interest (if applicable) in any provisions of this
Security shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions of this Security where such express mention is not made. 
  
 Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include
reference to the Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this Security shall not be
construed as excluding the Repurchase Price so payable in those provisions of this Security when such express mention is not made. 
  
 [If this Security is a Registrable Security and the Holder of this Security [if this security is a global security, then insert — (including
any Person that has a beneficial interest in this Security)] elects to sell this Security pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement then, by its acceptance hereof, such Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by the terms of the Registration
Rights Agreement relating to the Registrable Securities which are the subject of such election.] 
  
 [The following paragraph shall appear in each Global Security: 
  
 In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Security, including an exchange, transfer, redemption,
repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.] 
  

 28 

 [The following paragraph shall appear in each Security that is not a Global Security: 

 
 In the event of redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Security in
part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed, unrepurchased or unconverted portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.] 
  
 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities, together with interest to the date of declaration, may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable, together with interest to the date of declaration, and (ii) interest on any overdue
principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue interest, all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities shall terminate. 
  
 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 Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities, 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 in exchange therefore or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or such other Security. Certain
modifications or amendments to the Indenture require the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security affected. 
  
 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, the Holders of not less than 25%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities 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 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 interest hereon, on or after the respective due dates expressed herein or for the enforcement
of the right to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture. 
  

 29 

 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 interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Security as provided in
the Indenture. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency
of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, 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 thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Registrar. 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 recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 Prior to due presentation 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 such Security is registered, as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Security
and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

  
 THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW AND NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAWS AND RULE 327(B).

 ARTICLE III 
  
 THE SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 3.1 Title and Terms. 
  
 The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to U.S. $125,000,000, except for
Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 8.5, 12.2, 13.2(5) or 13.5 in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities previously authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
  
 The Securities shall be known and designated as the “2% Convertible
Senior Notes due May 1, 2024” of the Company. Their Stated Maturity shall be May 1, 2024 and they shall bear interest on their principal amount from April 29, 2004, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 in each year,
commencing November 1, 2004, at the rate of 2% per annum until the principal thereof is due and at the rate of 3% per annum on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest; provided, however, that
payments shall only be made on a Business Day as provided in Section 1.12. 
  
 The principal of and interest on the Securities shall be payable as provided in the form of Securities set forth in Section 2.2, and the Repurchase Price shall be payable at such places as are identified in the
Company Notice given pursuant to Section 13.2 (any city in which any Paying Agent is located being herein called a “Place of Payment”). 
  
 The Registrable Securities are entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement as provided in Section 10.11 and in the form of Security set
forth in Section 2.2. Holders of the Securities are entitled to the payment of Additional Interest as provided by Section 10.11 and in the form of security set forth in Section 2.2. 
  
 The Securities are redeemable at the option of the Company at any time on or after May 1, 2009, in whole or in part, subject
to the conditions and as otherwise provided in Article XI and in the form of Security set forth in Section 2.2. 
  
 The Securities shall be convertible as provided in Article XII (any city in which any Conversion Agent is located being herein called a “Place of
Conversion”). 
  
 The Securities shall be subject to
repurchase by the Company at the option of the Holders on May 1, of each of 2009, 2014 and 2019, as provided in Article XIII. 
  
 SECTION 3.2 Denominations. 
  
 The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess
thereof. 
  

 35 

 SECTION 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. 
  
 The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of
the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer, one of its Executive Vice Presidents, one of its Senior Vice Presidents or one of its Vice Presidents, and attested by its Chief
Financial Officer, Clerk or one of its Assistant Clerks. Any such signature may be manual or facsimile. 
  
 Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were the proper officers of the Company at the time of execution shall bind the
Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. 
  
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee or to its order for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such
Company Order shall authenticate and make available for delivery such Securities as in this Indenture provided. 
  
 Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
  
 No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 3.4
Global Securities; Non-Global Securities; Book-Entry Provisions. 
  
 (1) Global Securities. 
  
 (i) Each Global Security
authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such
Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 
  
 (ii) Except for exchanges of Global Securities for definitive, Non-global Securities at the sole discretion of the Company, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no
transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary (or a successor to the Depositary) for such Global Security or a nominee (or a successor to a nominee) thereof unless (A) such
Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary has not been
appointed within 90 days, or (B) the Company, at its option elects to cause the issuance of the Securities in certificated form. In such event, the Company will execute, and 
  

 36 

 the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate directing the authentication and delivery of Securities, will
authenticate and deliver, Securities, in any authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security in exchange for such Global Security. 
  
 (iii) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or
canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article III. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other
Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, in each case, as provided in Section 3.5, then either (A) such Global Security shall be so surrendered
for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article III, or (B) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other
Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures,
shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 3.5(3) and as otherwise provided in
this Article III, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized
representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in
the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article III if such order, direction or request is
given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. 
  
 (iv) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, shall be authenticated and
delivered in the form of, and shall be, a registered Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof, in which case such Security shall be
authenticated and delivered in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons. 
  
 (v) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a
Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through,
records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members and such owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be considered the owners or holders thereof. 
  

 37 

 (2) Non-global Securities. Securities issued upon the events described in Section 3.4(1)(ii) shall be in
definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, and shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend if and as required by this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 3.5 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer. 
  
 (1) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in
such office referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.2 for such purpose,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such
restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture. 
  
 At
the option of the Holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.5, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.5, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  
 All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the
Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  
 No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities except as provided in
Section 3.6, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to
Section 3.4, 8.5, 12.2, 13.2(5) or 13.5 (other than where the shares of Common Stock are to be issued or delivered in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security) not involving any transfer and other than any stamp and other duties, if any,
which may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, which shall be paid by the Company. 
  

 38 

 In the event of a redemption of the Securities, neither the Company nor the Securities Registrar will be
required (a) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities called for such redemption or (b) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption. 
  
 (2) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Security of the kinds specified in this Section
3.5(2) shall be made only in accordance with this Section 3.5(2). 
  
 (i) Restricted Global Security to Restricted Non-Global Security. In the event that Non-Global Securities are to be issued pursuant to Section 3.4(1)(ii) in connection with any transfer of Securities, such transfer may be effected
only in accordance with the provisions of this clause (2)(i) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (A) a Company Order from the Company directing the Trustee, as Security Registrar, to (x)
authenticate and deliver one or more Securities of the same aggregate principal amount as the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be transferred, such instructions to contain the name or names of the designated transferee or
transferees, the authorized denomination or denominations of the Securities to be so issued and appropriate delivery instructions and (y) decrease the beneficial interest of a specified Agent Member’s account in a Restricted Global Security by
a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Restricted Global Security, and (B) such other certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably require to confirm that such
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall decrease the principal amount of the Restricted Global
Security by the specified amount and authenticate and deliver Securities in accordance with such instructions from the Company as provided in Section 3.4(1)(iii). 
  
 (ii) Restricted Non-Global Security to Restricted Global Security. If the Holder of a Restricted Security (other than
a Global Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Restricted Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, such transfer may be effected
only in accordance with the provisions of this clause (2)(ii) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of such Restricted Security as provided in Section 3.5(1) and instructions from the Company
directing that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security in a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Security be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account, then the Trustee, as Security
Registrar, shall cancel such 
  

 39 

 Restricted Security (and issue a new Restricted Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in
Section 3.5(1) and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the specified principal amount as provided in Section 3.4(1)(iii). 
  
 (iii) Exchanges Between Global Security and Non-Global Security. A beneficial interest in a Global Security may be exchanged for a Security that is
not a Global Security only as provided in Section 3.4 or only if such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer effected in accordance with clause 2(i) above, provided that, if such interest is a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global
Security, then such interest shall be exchanged for a Restricted Security (subject in each case to Section 3.5(3)). A Security that is not a Global Security may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security only if such exchange occurs
in connection with a transfer effected in accordance with clause (2)(ii) above. 
  
 (3) Securities Act Legends. All Securities issued pursuant to this Indenture, and all Successor Securities, shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend and shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer
specified therein, subject to the following: 
  
 (i) subject to
the following clauses of this Section 3.5(3), a Security or any portion thereof that is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by such Global Security for
which the Security was exchanged; 
  
 (ii) subject to the
following clauses of this Section 3.5(3), a new Security that is not a Global Security and is issued in exchange for another Security (including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Restricted
Securities Legend borne by the Security for which the new Security was exchanged; 
  
 (iii) any Securities that are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (including the Shelf Registration Statement), together with their Successor
Securities shall not bear a Restricted Securities Legend; the Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the effective date of any such registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act and shall notify the Trustee, in
writing, at any time when prospectuses must be delivered with respect to Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the aforementioned registration statement; 
  
 (iv) at any
time after the Securities may be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend may
be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof that bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted 
  

 40 

 Securities Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder of such Security bearing a Restricted
Securities Legend or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security as provided in this
Article III; 
  
 (v) a new Security that does not bear a
Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security or any portion thereof that bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure
compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security as provided in this Article III; and 
  
 (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5(3), a
Successor Security of a Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend shall not bear such legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of
Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article III. 
  
 (4) Any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Securities shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by such Securities, to the extent required by this Indenture, unless such shares of Common Stock have been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been
declared effective under the Securities Act (and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to
the transfer agent for the Common Stock. With respect to the transfer of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities that are restricted hereunder, any deliveries of certificates, legal opinions or other instruments that would be
required to be made to the Security Registrar in the case of a transfer of Securities, as described above, shall instead be made to the transfer agent for the Common Stock. 
  
 (5) Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any of their agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with
respect to any Federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation on any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. 
  
 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  

 41 

 If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee: 
  
 (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security, and 
  
 (2) such security or indemnity as may be
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or
is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion, but subject to any conversion rights, may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph. 

 
 Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto (other than any stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed in connection therewith by the United States or
any political subdivision thereof or therein, which shall be paid by the Company) and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities. 
  
 SECTION 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

  
 Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.7, interest
or Additional Interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
  

 42 

 Any interest or Additional Interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be
paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
  
 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a “Special
Record Date” for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security, the date of the
proposed payment and the Special Record Date, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. The Special Record
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The
Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s
address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

  
 (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.7 and Section 3.5, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 
  

Interest on any Security that is converted in accordance with Section 12.2 during a Record Date Period shall be payable in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12.2. 
  
 SECTION 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners.

  
 Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and interest (subject to Section 3.7) (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor
any agent of the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  

 43 

 SECTION 3.9 Cancellation. 
  
 All Securities surrendered for payment, purchase, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee (or its agent). No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.9. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities in accordance with applicable law and its customary practices in effect from time to time. 
  
 SECTION 3.10 Computation of Interest. 
  
 Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 SECTION 3.11 CUSIP Numbers. 
  
 The Company in issuing Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then
generally in use) in addition to serial numbers; if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers in addition to serial numbers in any notice of redemption or repurchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the serial or other identification numbers
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption or repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP numbers. 
  
 SECTION 3.12 Ranking. 
  
 The indebtedness of the Company arising under or in connection with this Indenture and every outstanding Security issued under this Indenture from time to
time constitutes and will constitute a senior unsecured general obligation of the Company, ranking on parity in right of payment with other existing and future senior and unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company and ranking senior in right of
payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of the Company. For purposes of this Section 3.12 only, “Indebtedness” means, without duplication, the principal or face amount of (i) all obligations for borrowed money, (ii) all obligations
evidenced by debentures, notes or other similar instruments and (iii) all obligations in respect of letters of credit or bankers acceptances or similar instruments (or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto). 
  
 SECTION 3.13 Additional Securities. 
  
 The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, “reopen” this
Indenture and issue additional securities under this Indenture with the same terms and with the same CUSIP numbers as the Securities, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, provided that no such additional securities may be issued unless
fungible with the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company may also from time to time repurchase the Securities in open market purchases or negotiated transactions without prior notice to Holders. 
  

 44

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as
the case may be; 
  
 (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid
all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 
  
 (3) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that there has been compliance with all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of Section 10.3 and the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Section 3.5 and Article XII shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
  
 SECTION 4.2 Application of Trust Money. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 and in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. 
  
 All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 (and held by it
or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Securities subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company upon Company Request. 
  
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed or assessed against all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 4.1 (other than income taxes and franchise taxes incurred or payable by the Trustee and such other taxes, fees or charges incurred or payable by the Trustee that are not directly the result of the deposit of such money with the
Trustee). 
  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 REMEDIES 
  
 SECTION 5.1 Events of Default. 
  
 “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it

Instrument (either at its stated maturity or upon acceleration thereof) continuing after any applicable grace periods, and such indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days; or

  
 (4) default or breach in the performance of any covenant of
the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant a default in the performance of which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section 5.1), and continuance of such default for a period of 60 consecutive days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be
remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

 47 

 SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. 
  
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section
5.1(5) or 5.1(6) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal of, and any accrued interest
on, all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal and accrued interest thereon shall become immediately due and
payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal and accrued interest on of all the Securities shall, ipso facto, become immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other Act of the Holders or any act on the part of the Trustee. 
  
 At any time after such declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 
  
 (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 
  
 (i) all overdue interest on all Securities; 
  
 (ii) the principal of any Securities that have become due otherwise than by
such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities; 
  
 (iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest upon overdue interest at a rate of 3% per annum; and 
  
 (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel; 
  
 (2) all Events of Default, other than the
nonpayment of the principal of and interest on Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13; and 
  
 (3) such rescission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree issued in appropriate judicial proceedings
regarding the payment by the Trustee to the Holders of the amounts referred to in 5.2(1). 
  
 No rescission or annulment referred to above shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

 48 

 SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. 
  
 The Company covenants that if: 
  
 (1) default is made in the payment of interest (including Additional
Interest, if any) on any Security when it becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 consecutive days, or 
  
 (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof, 
  
 the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Securities for principal and interest (including any Additional Interest), interest on any overdue principal, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest upon overdue interest (including Additional Interest, if any) at a
rate of 3% per annum and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

  
 If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against
the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. 

 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
  
 SECTION 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or the creditors of either, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal or interest of the Securities shall
then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
  
 (1) to file a
proof of claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and take such other actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in
such matter, and to file such other papers or documents, in each of the foregoing cases, as may be necessary or advisable in order 
  

 49 

 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) and of the Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  
 (2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities 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 of Securities to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 6.7. 
  
 Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of such Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar
official. 
  
 SECTION 5.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Securities. 
  
 All rights of action and claims under this
Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which judgment has been recovered. 
  
 SECTION 5.6 Application of Money Collected. 
  
 Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article V shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of
principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
  
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7; 
  
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of or
interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money or property has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on such Securities for principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), if any, respectively; and 
  
 THIRD: Any remaining amounts shall be repaid to the Company.

 SECTION 5.7 Limitation on Suits. 
  
 No Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: 
  
 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 
  
 (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 
  
 (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee, and if requested, shall have provided, reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; 
  
 (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity (or if requested, receipt of indemnity) has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 
  
 (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities. 
  
 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders. 
  
 SECTION 5.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest and to Convert. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and (subject to Section 3.7) interest (including Additional Interest, if any), on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed
in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, repurchase or purchase on the Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Purchase Date, as the case may be), and to convert such Security in accordance with Article XII, and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment and right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 SECTION 5.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 
  
 If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture
and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any 
  

 51 

 reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 SECTION 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 SECTION 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

  
 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by
law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or (subject to the limitations contained in this Indenture) by the Holders of Securities as the case may
be. 
  
 SECTION 5.12 Control by Holders of
Securities. 
  
 Subject to Section 6.3, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee,
provided that 
  
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with
any rule of law or with this Indenture, and 
  
 (2) the Trustee
may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and 
  
 (3) the Trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities not
consenting. 
  
 SECTION 5.13 Waiver of Past
Defaults. 
  
 Certain Holders, through the written consent of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past 
  

 52 

 default hereunder and its consequences, except a default (A) in the payment of the principal of or interest (including
Additional Interest, if any) on any Security, or (B) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected. 
  
 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 SECTION 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant
in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee,
to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase, on or after the Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Purchase Date, as the case
may be) or for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article XII. 
  
 SECTION 5.15 Waiver of Stay, Usury or Extension Laws. 
  
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in
any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, usury or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede by reason of such law the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 THE
TRUSTEE 
  
 SECTION 6.1 Certain Duties and
Responsibilities. 
  
 (1) Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default, 
  

 53 

 (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in
this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
  
 (ii) 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 the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but not to verify the contents thereof. 
  
 (2) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

  
 (3) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to
relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that 
  
 (i) this paragraph (3) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (1) of this Section; 
  
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under
this Indenture; and 
  
 (iv) 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. 
  
 (4) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
  

 54 

 SECTION 6.2 Notice of Defaults. 
  
 Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder as to which the
Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in Section 1.6, notice of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in
the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1(4), no such notice
to Holders of Securities shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof or, if applicable, the expiration of the cure period specified therein. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event that
is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. 
  
 SECTION 6.3 Certain Rights of Trustee. 
  

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1: 
  
 (1) the Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (collectively, the “Documents”) believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and the Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in such Documents; 
  
 (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of
the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; 
  
 (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other
evidence be the one specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel; 
  
 (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; 
  
 (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of
the Holders of Securities pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered, and, if requested by the Trustee, delivered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; 
  
 (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, 
  

 55 

 consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee
may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the
Company, personally or by agent or attorney; 
  
 (7) the Trustee
may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney
appointed with due care by it hereunder; and 
  
 (8) Except with
respect to Section 10.1 hereof, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company’s covenants in Article X hereof. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default or Event of Default
except (i) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 5.1(1), 5.1(2) and 10.1 hereof or (ii) any default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification in the manner set forth in this Indenture or an
officer in the corporate trust administration of the Trustee shall have obtained actual knowledge. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 10.9 hereof is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s
receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants thereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate). 
  
 SECTION 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
  
 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, of the Securities or of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. 
  
 SECTION 6.5 May Hold Securities, Act as Trustee under Other Indentures. 
  
 The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion
Agent or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or such other agent. 
  
 The Trustee may become and act as trustee under other indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same manner as if
it were not Trustee hereunder. 
  

 56 

 SECTION 6.6 Money Held in Trust. 
  
 Money or property held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. 
  
 SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement.

  
 The Company agrees: 
  
 (1) to pay the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation as the
Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its acceptance of this Indenture and for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust); 
  
 (2) except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee (including reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture and defending itself
against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder of Securities or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise of any of its powers or duties hereunder) in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and 
  
 (3) to indemnify the Trustee (and its directors, officers, employees and
agents) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the
reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
  
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations to the Trustee in this
Section 6.7, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities on all money or property held or controlled by the Trustee, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the
Securities. 
  
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of the
administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
  
 The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
  

 57 

 SECTION 6.8 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that
is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, having (or be part of a holding company group with) a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S. $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority, and
in good standing. The Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee shall maintain an established place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article and a successor
shall be appointed pursuant to Section 6.9. 
  
 SECTION 6.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
  
 (1) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with
the applicable requirements of Section 6.10. 
  
 (2) The Trustee
may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (3) The Trustee may be removed at any time by an Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the
Trustee and the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (4) The Trustee may be removed at any time by the Company and the Company may appoint a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article, provided, that (i) there is not an Event of Default that is continuing at the time of
removal, (ii) the successor Trustee appointed by the Company meets the eligibility requirements of Section 6.8, and (iii) such removal and resignation shall not become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.10. 
  
 (5) If at any time: 
  
 (i) the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 
  
 (ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

  

 58 

 then, in any such case (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to
Section 5.14, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 (6) If the Trustee
shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of this Section 6.9 and Section 6.10. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.10, become the
successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by this Section and
Section 6.10, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee. 
  
 (7) The Company shall give notice of each resignation
and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office. 
  
 SECTION 6.10 Acceptance of
Appointment by Successor. 
  
 Every successor Trustee
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts. 
  
 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under this Article. 
  

 59 

 SECTION 6.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

  
 Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee (including the trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may
adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. 
  
 SECTION 6.12 Authenticating Agents. 
  
 The Trustee may, with the consent of the Company, appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to the Company with
respect to the Securities, which Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon exchange or substitution pursuant to this Indenture. 
  
 Securities authenticated by an Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder, and every reference in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be subject to acceptance by the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under
such laws to act as Authenticating Agent and subject to supervision or examination by government or other fiscal authority. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12,
such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.12. 
  
 Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. 
  
 An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or
upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be subject to

  

 60 

 acceptance by the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become
vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section
6.12. 
  
 The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent
from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.12. If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to the Securities pursuant to this Section 6.12, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in
lieu of the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: 
  
 This is one of the Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions
of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 6.14 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

and no event which after notice or passage of time or both, would become an Event of Default; and 
  
 (4) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease complies
with these requirements and an Opinion of Counsel as to the first two items above.

 Upon any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially
all the properties and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 7.1, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or 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 Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor

office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. 
  
 The Company may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, however, that until all of the
Securities have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), on the Securities have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to
the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.3, the Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment and conversion, which shall
initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee, and notice to the Holders in accordance with Section 1.6, of the appointment or termination of any such agents and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or
agency. 
  
 The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as
Paying Agent, Security Registrar and Conversion Agent, and each of the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as one such office or agency of the Company for
each of the aforesaid purposes. 
  
 SECTION 10.3
Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. 
  
 If
the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest, on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the
principal and interest, so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and the Company will promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of its action or failure so to act. 
  
 Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, no later
than the opening of business on each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities, deposit with the Trustee a sum in funds immediately payable on the payment date sufficient to pay the principal or interest, so becoming due, such sum
to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any failure so to act. 
  
 The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
  
 (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of or interest on Securities for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 
  

 69 

 (2) give the Trustee written notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities) in the making of any payment of principal or interest; and 
  
 (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by such Paying Agent. 
  
 The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other
purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 
  
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest (including Additional Interest, if any), has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by
the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. 
  
 SECTION 10.4 Existence. 
  
 Subject to Article VII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence.

useful in the conduct of its business and the business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times, except where the failure to
do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the
operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
  

 70 

 SECTION 10.6 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. 
  
 The Company will pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, before
the same may become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company, or any subsidiary (ii) all claims for labor, materials
and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien or charge upon the property of the Company, and (iii) subject to Section 12.8, all stamps and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision
thereof or therein in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange or conversion of any Securities or with respect to this Indenture; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Company shall not be required to pay
or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (A) if the failure to do so will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) if the
amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 
  
 SECTION 10.7 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]. 
  
 SECTION 10.8 Statement by Officers as to Default. 
  
 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the
date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without
regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 
  
 The Company will deliver to the Trustee, as promptly as reasonably
practicable upon becoming aware of any default or any Event of Default under the Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate specifying with particularity such default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Company has taken, is taking
or proposes to take with respect thereto. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. 
  
 Any notice required to be given under this Section 10.8 shall be delivered to
the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. 
  
 SECTION 10.9 Delivery of Certain Information. 
  
 At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the written request of a Holder of a Restricted Security or the holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, the Company will
promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder of Restricted Securities or such holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Restricted Securities, or to a prospective purchaser of any
such security designated by any such Holder or holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such Holder or holder with Rule 144A under the Securities 
  

 71 

 Act (or any successor provision thereto) in connection with the resale of any such security; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to furnish such information in connection with any request made on or after the date that is two years from the later of (i) the date such a security (or any such predecessor security) was last acquired from
the Company or (ii) the date such a security (or any such predecessor security) was last acquired from an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). “Rule
144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). 
  
 SECTION 10.10 Resale of Certain Securities. 
  
 During the period beginning on the last date of original issuance of the Securities and ending on the date that is two years
from such date (or such shortened period under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor rule), the Company will not, will not permit any of its Subsidiaries, and will use its reasonable efforts to not permit any other of its
“affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereto) to, resell (i) any Securities that constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 or (ii) any securities into which the
Securities have been converted under this Indenture that 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 10.11 Registration Rights. 
  
 If Additional Interest is payable under the Registration Rights Agreement to any Holder, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of Additional Interest that is
payable to such Holder and (ii) the date on which Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no
Additional Interest is payable. If Additional Interest has been paid by the Company directly to the persons entitled to them, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment. 
  
 SECTION 10.12 Waiver of Certain Covenants.

  
 The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply
with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 10.5 and 10.6 (other than a covenant or condition which under Section 8.2 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected), if before the time
for such compliance the Holders shall, through the consent of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with
such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee
or any Paying or Conversion Agent in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit the application of Sections 5.13, 8.1 and 8.2. 
  

 72 

 ARTICLE XI 
  
 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 
  
 SECTION 11.1 Right of Redemption. 
  
 The Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time on or after May 1, 2009, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than
60 days’ notice to the Holders prior to the Redemption Date at a Redemption Price payable in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount (the “Redemption Price”) together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date; provided, however, that (1) installments of interest, if any, on Securities with an Interest Payment Date on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates and (2) the Company may not redeem any Securities if the Company has failed to pay any interest on the Securities and such failure to pay is continuing, or if the principal
amount of the Securities has been accelerated. 
  
 SECTION 11.2 Applicability of Article. 
  
 Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of the Securities or this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article XI. 
  
 SECTION 11.3 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

  
 The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of any of the Securities, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory
to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date. 
  
 SECTION 11.4 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
  
 If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee within five Business Days
after it receives the notice described in 11.3, from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by pro rata selection, by lot or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. 
  
 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 that 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. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and each Security Registrar in writing of the securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
  

 73 

 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the
redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. 
  
 SECTION 11.5 Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to
the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, and such notice shall be irrevocable. The Company shall, concurrently with the giving of such notice, publish a Press Release including the

accrued interest thereon (including Additional Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, 
  
 (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal
amount of Securities which will be outstanding after such partial redemption, 
  
 (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed,
and that interest (including Additional Interest, if any), thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, 
  
 (5) the Conversion Rate, the date on which the right to convert the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and the places where such Securities may be
surrendered for conversion, and 
  
 (6) the place or places where
such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. 
  
 In case of a partial redemption, the notice shall specify the serial and CUSIP numbers (if any) and the portions thereof
called for redemption and that transfers and exchanges may occur on or prior to the Redemption Date. 
  
 Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s written request,
by the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company received by the Trustee shall be given by the Trustee to each Paying Agent in the name of and at the
expense of the Company. 
  

 74 

 SECTION 11.6 Deposit of Redemption Price. 
  
 On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money (which shall be in immediately available funds on such Redemption Date) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price
of, and except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any), to the Redemption Date on all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date other than any Securities called
for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such
Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.7) be paid to the Company on Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. 
  
 SECTION 11.7 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

  
 Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall
cease to bear interest (including Additional Interest, if any). Upon surrender of any Security for redemption in accordance with said notice such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price together with accrued and unpaid interest
(including Additional Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities with an Interest Payment Date on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to Holders of
such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. 
  
 If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal amount of
and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrued interest on such Security shall, until paid bear interest from the Redemption Date at a rate of 3% per annum, and such Security shall remain convertible until the Redemption Price of such
Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for. 
  
 Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate Trust Office or an office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2 (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 his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery 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 unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 
  

 75 

 SECTION 11.8 Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. 
  
 In connection with any redemption of Securities, the Company may arrange for
the purchase and conversion of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment banks or other purchasers (the “Purchasers”) to purchase such securities by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Holders, on or before the
Redemption Date, an amount not less than the applicable Redemption Price (together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, including Additional Interest, if any) of such Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article XI, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price (together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, including Additional Interest, if any) shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid
by such Purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into (a copy of which shall be filed with the Trustee prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date), any Securities called for redemption that are not
duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and consistent with any agreement or agreements with such Purchasers, to be acquired by such Purchasers from
such Holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article XII) surrendered by such Purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date (and the right to convert any such
Securities shall be extended through such time), subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. At the direction of the Company, the Trustee shall hold and dispose of any such amount paid to it by the Purchasers to the Holders in the same
manner as it would monies deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Securities. Without the Trustee’s prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such Purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities
shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Securities between the Company and such Purchasers, including the reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by
the Trustee in the defense of such claim or liability. 
  
 ARTICLE XII 
  
 CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

  
 SECTION 12.1 Conversion Privilege and
Conversion Rate. 
  
 (a) Subject to and upon compliance with
the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any portion of a Security that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the
nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion and subject to adjustment as described below, as follows: 
  
 (1) if, on or prior to May 1, 2019, the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock, for at least 20 Trading Days in the period of the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the eleventh Trading Day of any fiscal quarter, is more than 120% of the then current Conversion Price of the Securities, then the Holder thereof will be
entitled to convert such Security until and including the eleventh Trading Day of the immediately following fiscal quarter; 
  

 76 

 (2) if, on any date after May 1, 2019, the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is more than 120% of
the then current Conversion Price of the Securities, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security at all times thereafter; 
  
 (3) if the Company elects to call the Securities for redemption, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security (or the portion of the
Security called for redemption, if less than all), until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date; 
  
 (4) if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than with respect to a Rights Plan)
entitling them to purchase Common Stock at less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day preceding the declaration for such distribution, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security in the period
described below; 
  
 (5) if the Company distributes to all or
substantially all holders of Common Stock, cash, assets, debt securities or Capital Stock of any Subsidiary, which distribution has a per share value as determined by the Board of Directors exceeding 5% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock
on the last Trading Day preceding the declaration for such distribution, then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security in the period described below; or 
  
 (6) if the Company becomes a party to a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets where such consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets constitutes a Change in Control or such event occurs that would have been a Change in Control but for the occurrence of one or more of the
exceptions (I) and (II) to the definition of a Change in Control contained in the proviso immediately following Section 13.3(2)(iii), then the Holder thereof will be entitled to convert such Security in the period described below. 
  
 A Security for which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Notice pursuant to
Section 13.2 may be surrendered for conversion only if such Repurchase Notice is withdrawn under the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 In the case of a distribution contemplated in clauses (4) and (5) of this Section 12.1(a), the Company will notify Holders at least 20 days prior to the
ex-dividend date for such distribution (the “Distribution Notice”). Once the Company has given the Distribution Notice, Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the
last Business Day preceding the ex-dividend date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. If in the future the Company adopts a Rights Plan, Holders will not have any conversion right pursuant to clause (4)
above or otherwise, solely as a result of the issuance 
  

 77 

 of Rights pursuant to the Rights Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a distribution contemplated in
clauses (4) and (5) of this Section 12.1(a), Holders may not convert the Securities if the Holders may participate in such distribution without converting their Securities. 
  
 In the event of a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets as contemplated in
clause (6) of this Section 12.1(a), the Company will notify Holders at least 20 days prior to the anticipated closing date of such transaction (the “Merger Notice”). Once the Company has given the Merger Notice, the Holders may, in the
event of such consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, as contemplated in clause (6) above, surrender Securities for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the
anticipated effective date of such transaction until the date which is 15 days after the actual effective date of such transaction. 
  
 With respect to clause (1) of this Section 12.1(a), the Conversion Agent will determine, on behalf of the Company, on the first Business Day succeeding
the first day of the fiscal quarter on which the Securities would be convertible, whether the Securities are convertible as set forth in such clause (1) based upon the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the then current Conversion Price and,
if so, will notify the Company. With respect to clause (2) of this section 12.1(a), the Conversion Agent will determine, on behalf of the Company, daily on any date after May 1, 2019, whether the Securities are convertible as set forth in such
clause (2) based upon the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the then current Conversion Price and, if so, will notify the Company. 
  
 (b) Subject to the further provisions of this Article XII, at any time prior to May 1, 2019, a Holder of a Security may also convert the principal amount
of such Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) for the five Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the average of the Trading Prices for the
Securities in such period was less than 98% of the average Conversion Value for the Securities during such period. 
  
 The “Conversion Value” for the Securities is equal to the product of (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on a given day and (ii) the
then current Conversion Rate. 
  
 If, for purposes of determining
the Trading Price, the Trustee cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $2,000,000 principal amount of this Security from a nationally recognized securities dealer, then the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of this Security will be
deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of this Security. 
  
 In connection with any conversion upon satisfaction of the above Trading Price condition, the Trustee shall have no
obligation to determine the Trading Price of this Security unless the Company has requested such determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless the Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of this Security would be less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 
  

 78 

 $1,000 principal amount of this Security. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading
Price of this Security beginning on the next trading date and on each successive trading day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of this Security is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of this Security. 
  
 (c) The conversion right, subject to the conditions described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 12.1, shall commence on the initial issuance date of
the Securities and expire at the close of business on the date of Maturity, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures. In case a Holder of a Security exercises his right to require the Company to
repurchase the Security, such conversion right in respect of the Security, or portion thereof so called, shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date unless the Company defaults in making the
payment due upon repurchase (subject as aforesaid to any Applicable Procedures with respect to any Global Security). 
  
 Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security. 
  
 A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common
Stock until such Holder has converted its Securities into Common Stock, and only to the extent such Securities are deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Article XII. 
  
 The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion
(herein called the “Conversion Rate”) shall be initially 33.0797 shares of Common Stock for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in this Article XII.

  
 SECTION 12.2 Exercise of Conversion
Privilege. 
  
 In order to exercise the conversion privilege,
the Holder of any Security to be converted shall surrender such Security that is an integral multiple of $1,000 as permitted above, duly endorsed in blank, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, or at such other office or agency of the Company, maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2, accompanied by a duly signed and completed conversion notice substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.4 stating that the Holder
elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted, and payments in respect of taxes, if any, as described in Section 12.8 hereto. 
  
 Each Security surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the
Record Date Period shall (except in the case of any Security or portion thereof which has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date, is repurchasable on a Repurchase Date or purchasable on a Purchase Date, occurring, in any such case, within
such Record Date Period and, as a result, the right to convert such Security would otherwise terminate in such period if not exercised) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount
equal to the interest, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such 
  

 79 

 Security (or part thereof, as the case may be) being surrendered for conversion, less any previously due interest payment
as of the Conversion Date as to which the Company is in arrears. The interest so payable on such Interest Payment Date with respect to any Security (or portion thereof, if applicable) that is surrendered for conversion during the Record Date Period
shall be paid to the Holder of such Security as of such Record Date in an amount equal to the interest that would have been payable on such Security if such Security had been converted as of the close of business on such Interest Payment Date.
Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date in respect of any Security surrendered for conversion on or after such Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of such Security as of the Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date,
notwithstanding the exercise of the right of conversion. 
  
 Except as provided in the preceding paragraph and subject to the last paragraph of Section 3.7, no cash payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued from the Interest Payment Date next preceding
the conversion date, in respect of any Security (or part thereof, as the case may be) surrendered for conversion, or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion. The Company’s delivery to the Holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractions thereof, as provided in this Indenture) into which a Security is convertible will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security. 
  
 Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to
receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to
the Trustee, for delivery to the Conversion Agent who will in turn deliver to the Holder (unless a different Person is indicated on the Conversion Notice), a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 12.3. 
  
 All shares of Common Stock delivered upon such conversion of Restricted Securities shall bear restrictive legends substantially in the form of the legends
required to be set forth on the Restricted Securities pursuant to Section 3.5 and shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in such legends. Neither the Trustee nor any agent maintained for the purpose of such conversion shall have
any responsibility for the inclusion or content of any such restrictive legends on such Common Stock; provided, however, that the Trustee or any agent maintained for the purpose of such conversion shall have provided, to the Company or to the
Company’s transfer agent for such Common Stock, prior to or concurrently with a request to the Company to deliver such Common Stock, written notice that the Securities delivered for conversion are Restricted Securities. 
  
 In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate 
  

 80 

 principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security. A Security may be converted
in part, but only if the principal amount of such Security to be converted is any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 and the principal amount of such security to remain Outstanding after such conversion is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 If shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon conversion of a Restricted Security, or Securities to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Security in part only, are to be registered in a name other than that of the beneficial owner of such Restricted Security, then such Holder
must deliver to the Conversion Agent a Surrender Certificate, dated the date of surrender of such Restricted Security and signed by such beneficial owner, as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Security.
Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register in a name other than that of the beneficial owner, shares of Common Stock or Securities issued upon conversion of any such Restricted Security
not so accompanied by a properly completed Surrender Certificate. 
  
 SECTION 12.3 Fractions of Shares. 
  
 No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full
shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would
otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) in an amount equal
to the same fraction of the Closing Sale Price at the close of business on the day of conversion. 
  
 SECTION 12.4 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. 
  
 (1) The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows: 
  
 (i) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution
on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution
shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum
of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If,
after any such date fixed for determination, any dividend or distribution is not in fact paid, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution,
to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been 
  

 81 

 fixed. For the purposes of this paragraph (i), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not
include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of
Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. 
  
 (ii) In case
the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants (in any case other than in connection with a Rights Plan) to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the
Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (3) of this Section 12.4) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants (other than any rights,
options or warrants that by their terms will also be issued to any Holder upon conversion of a Security into shares of Common Stock without any action required by the Company or any other Person), the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of
business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the
date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price
and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such increase to
become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any such rights, options or warrants are not in fact issued, or are not exercised
prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date such rights, options or warrants expire, or the date the Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to
the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if the unexercised rights, options or warrants had never been granted or such determination date had not been fixed, as the case may be. For the purposes of this paragraph (ii), the number of shares
of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue
any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. 
  
 (iii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to
become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. 
  

 82 

 (iv) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock
evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock or other property (including cash or assets or securities (other than rights pursuant to a Rights Plan)), but excluding (A) any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph
1(ii) of this Section, (B) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, (C) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph 1(i) of this Section and (D) any consideration distributed in any merger or consolidation to which Section
12.11 applies), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (3) of this Section 12.4) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less
the then fair market value of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment
to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, or in the case of a Spin Off, immediately prior to the opening of
business on the day following the last Trading Day of the Measurement Period. If after any such date fixed for determination, any such distribution is not in fact made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date of
the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. 
  
 In the event the Company distributes shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, if at
all, based on the market value of the Subsidiary stock so distributed relative to the market value of the Common Stock, as described below. 
  
 The Board of Directors shall determine fair market values for the purposes of this Section 12.4(1)(iv), whose determination shall be conclusive and
described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee; provided, however, that in respect of a dividend or other distribution of shares of capital stock of a class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or
other business unit of the Company which has a Subsidiary Closing Price (a “Spin-off”), the fair market value of the securities to be distributed shall equal the average of the daily Subsidiary Closing Price of such securities for the five
consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the sixth Trading Day of such securities after the effectiveness of the Spin-off (the “Measurement Period”); provided, further, that in the event that an underwritten initial
public offering of the securities in the Spin-off occurs simultaneously with the Spin-off, fair market value of the securities distributed in the Spin-off shall be the initial public offering price of such securities and the market price per share
of the Common Stock shall mean the Closing Sale Price for the Common Stock on the same Trading Day. 
  

 83 

 (v) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall make a tender or exchange offer for Common Stock
(for the avoidance of doubt, excluding options, warrants, purchase rights and other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per
share of Common Stock in such offer exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, and such tender or exchange
offer shall expire, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as such offer may have been amended), the Conversion
Rate shall be increased so that the Conversion Rate shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of
(x) the aggregate consideration (determined as the sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof and which
shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of all shares validly
tendered and not withdrawn as of the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date (the “Expiration Time”) (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased
Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price per share of Common
Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (3) of this Section 12.4) on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, and the denominator shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including tendered
shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (3) of this Section 12.4) on the Trading
Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such
tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would have been
in effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of this Section 12.4(1)(v) to any tender offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section
12.4(1)(v). 
  
 For purposes of this Section 12.4(1)(v), the term
“tender offer” shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers, all references to “purchases” of shares in tender offers (and all similar references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender
offers and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to “tendered shares” (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares tendered in both tender offers and exchange offers. 
  

 84 

 (vi) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute cash to all holders of its
outstanding Common Stock (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph 1(iv) of this Section or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 12.11 applies) then, and in each such case,
immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for
determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (X) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (3) of this Section) of the Common Stock on
the date fixed for such determination plus the amount per share of such dividend or distribution and (Y) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (3) of this Section 12.4) of
the Common Stock on such date fixed for determination. 
  
 (2) The
reclassification of Common Stock into securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 12.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than
Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution” and “the date fixed for
such determination” within the meaning of paragraph 1(iv) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination
becomes effective,” as the case may be, and “the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective” within the meaning of paragraph 1(iii) of this Section 12.4). 
  
 (3) For the purpose of (A) any computation under paragraphs 1(ii), (iv) or
(v) of this Section 12.4, the “Current Market Price” per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be the average of the daily Closing Sale Prices for the 10 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company
commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and (I) in the case of paragraphs (1)(ii) or (iv) of this Section 12.4, ending not later than, the earlier of the date fixed for determination and the day before the “ex-date” with respect
to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation or (II) in the case of paragraph (1)(v) of this Section 12.4, ending not later than, the Expiration Date with respect to the tender offer requiring such computation; and (B) any computation
under paragraph (1)(vi) of this Section 12.4, the “Current Market Price” per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be the average of the daily Closing Sale Prices for the first 10 consecutive Trading Days
from and including the first “ex-date” with respect to the dividend or other distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex-date,” when used with respect to any issuance or distribution,
means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution. 
  

 85 

 (4) All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest U.S. $0.01 or to the nearest
one-ten-thousandth of a share, as the case may be. 
  
 (5) The
Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, for the remaining term of the Securities or any shorter term, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 12.4, 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. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph (5) and its actions in so doing shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive. 
  
 (6) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, no adjustment
of the Conversion Rate shall be required to be made (a) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan for the reinvestment of dividends or (b) because of a tender or exchange offer of the character described in
Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act or any successor rule thereto. 
  
 (7) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount and for any amount of time if the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in
the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive; provided, however, that no such increase shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds
105% of the Conversion Price in connection with an event which would otherwise be a Change in Control pursuant to Section 13.4. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall give notice of the
increase to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.6, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect. The Company will comply with the rules and regulations promulgated under the
Exchange Act, to the extent applicable in connection with such notice. 
  
 (8) To the extent that the Company has a Rights Plan in effect upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to this Article XII: (i) if such Rights have not separated from the Common Stock prior to the conversion of the Securities, each share
of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to this Article XII shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of Rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear
such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any Rights Plan; and (ii) if such Rights have separated from the Common Stock prior to the conversion of the Securities, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as though the Rights
were being distributed to all holders of Common Stock on the date of such separation. If such an adjustment is made and the Rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a corresponding reversing adjustment will be made to the
Conversion Rate on an equitable basis. 
  
 (9) Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section, no adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be required to be made until the cumulative adjustments amount to 1.0% or more of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of
this paragraph (9) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. 
  

 86 

 SECTION 12.5 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate. 
  
 Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided: 
  
 (1) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance
with Section 12.4 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate
shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent; and 
  
 (2) upon each such adjustment, a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice
shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6. 
  
 Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the information and calculations contained therein, except to exhibit the same to any
Holder of Securities desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business hours, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
such a certificate. Until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee and each Conversion Agent may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which the Trustee has knowledge of remains in effect.

  
 SECTION 12.6 Notice of Certain Corporate
Action. 
  
 In case: 
  
 (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its
Common Stock payable (i) otherwise than exclusively in cash or (ii) exclusively in cash in an amount that would require any adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4; or 
  
 (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock of rights,
options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or 
  
 (3) of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval
of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 
  

 87 

 (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; 
  
 then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose
of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or
effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation
or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give such notice or the notice referred to in the following paragraph nor any defect therein shall affect the
legality or validity of the proceedings described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 12.6. If at the time the Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

  
 The Company shall cause to be filed at the Corporate Trust
Office and each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6, notice of any tender offer by the Company or any
Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock at or about the time that such notice of tender offer is provided to the public generally. 
  
 SECTION 12.7 Company to Reserve Common Stock. 
  
 The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued
Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities. 
  
 SECTION 12.8 Taxes on Conversions. 
  
 Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes and duties that may be payable in respect of
the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of (i) income of the Holder (including cash received in
lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock), or (ii) any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall
be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid. 
  

 88 

 SECTION 12.9 Covenant as to Common Stock. 
  
 The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be delivered
upon conversion of Securities, upon such delivery, will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable and will rank equally with the other shares of the Company’s Common Stock and, except as provided in
Section 12.8, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. 
  
 SECTION 12.10 Cancellation of Converted Securities. 
  
 All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent to be canceled by or at the direction
of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.9. 
  
 SECTION 12.11 Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. 
  
 In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a
consolidation or merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company (other than a conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company), the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then
Outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 12.1, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale,
transfer or lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not (A) a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which merged into or with the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease
was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or (B) an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon
such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or lease is not the same for each
share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have
been exercised (“Non-electing Share”), then for the purpose of this Section 12.11 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of
each Non-electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments that, for events subsequent to the effective date

  

 89 

 of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Article XII. The above provisions of this Section 12.11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company
to the Holder of each Security as provided in Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution. 
  
 Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of
shares of stock or other securities or property or cash receivable by Holders of Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may accept
as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee upon request. 
  
 SECTION 12.12 Rights Issued in Respect of Common
Stock. 
  
 Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to
all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances specified in the documents governing such rights or warrants), which
rights or warrants, until the occurrence of such certain circumstances (“Trigger Event”): 
  
 (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, 
  
 (ii) are not exercisable, and 
  
 (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock 
  
 shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of Section 12.4(1)(ii) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the
event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 12.4(1)(ii), (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all
have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a
cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as
of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of any such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred.

  
 SECTION 12.13 Responsibility of Trustee
for Conversion Provisions. 
  
 The Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.1, and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any 
  

 90 

 facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such
adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into. Neither the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.1, nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property or cash, which may at any time be issued or delivered
upon the conversion of any Security; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to
make or calculate any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject
to the provisions of Section 6.1, and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article. 
  
 ARTICLE XIII 
  
 REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER 
  
 SECTION 13.1 Right to Require Repurchase upon a
Designated Event. 
  
 In the event that a Designated Event
(as hereinafter defined) shall occur at any time prior to the maturity of the Securities, then each Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option to require the Company to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Company shall
repurchase such Holder’s Securities, in whole or in part, that is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof or the entire principal amount of the Securities held by any Holder (provided that no single
Security may be repurchased in part unless the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be Outstanding after such repurchase is equal to U.S. $1,000 or integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof), on the date (the
“Repurchase Date”) that is not less than 20 nor more than 35 Business Days after the date of the Company Notice (as defined in Section 13.2) at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus
accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date (the “Repurchase Price”); provided, however, that installments of interest, if any, on Securities with an Interest Payment
Date is on or prior to the Repurchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. Such
right to require the repurchase of the Securities shall not continue after a discharge of the Company from its obligations with respect to the Securities in accordance with Article IV, unless a Designated Event shall have occurred prior to such
discharge. The Repurchase Price will be paid in cash. Whenever in this Indenture (including Sections 2.2, 3.1, 5.1(1) and 5.8) there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to
include reference to the Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time. 
  

 91 

 SECTION 13.2 Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc.. 
  
 (1) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all of
the Outstanding Securities, on or before the 20th day after the occurrence of a Designated Event, the Company shall give to all Holders of Securities and to the Trustee, in the manner provided in Section 1.6, notice (the “Company Notice”)
of the occurrence of the Designated Event and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof and the Company shall issue a Press Release including the information required to be included in such Company Notice hereunder.

  
 Each Company Notice shall state: 
  
 (i) the Repurchase Date, 
  
 (ii) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised, 
  
 (iii) the Repurchase Price, 
  
 (iv) a description of the procedure that a Holder must follow to exercise a
repurchase right, and the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) 
  
 (v) that on the Repurchase Date the Repurchase Price will become due and payable upon each such Security designated by the
Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after such date, 
  
 (vi) the Conversion Rate then in effect, whether the conversion rights are then exercisable, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount
of the Securities to be repurchased will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and 
  
 (vii) the place or places that the Security certificate with the Election of Holder to Require Repurchase as specified in Section 2.2 shall be delivered.

  
 No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or
defect therein shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities. 
  
 If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article XIV are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern. 
  
 (2) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee on
or before the date specified in the Company Notice (i) written notice of the Holder’s exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (and, if any Security is
to repurchased in part, the serial number thereof, the portion of the principal 
  

 92 

 amount thereof to be repurchased and the name of the Person in which the portion thereof to remain Outstanding after such
repurchase is to be registered) and a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby (the “Repurchase Notice”), and (ii) the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised duly
endorsed for transfer. 
  
 (3) A Holder may withdraw any
Repurchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date (“Withdrawal Notice”). The Withdrawal Notice must state: 
  
 (i) the principal amount of the withdrawn Securities; 
  
 (ii) if certificated Securities have been issued, the certificate number of
the withdrawn Securities (or, if the Securities are not certificated, the Withdrawal Notice must comply with appropriate DTC procedures); and 
  
 (iii) the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the Repurchase Notice. 
  
 (4) Payment of the Repurchase Price for a Security for which a Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn is
conditioned upon book-entry transfer or delivery of the Security, together with necessary endorsements, to the Paying Agent at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or any other office of the Paying Agent, at
any time after delivery of the Repurchase Notice. Payment of the Repurchase Price for the Security will be made promptly following the later of the Repurchase Date and the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of the Security. If the Paying Agent
holds money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price of the Security on the Repurchase Date, then, on and after the business day following the Repurchase Date: 
  

(i) the Security will cease to be outstanding; 
  
 (ii) interest will cease to accrue in respect of any date from and after the Repurchase Date; and 
  
 (iii) all other rights of the Holder will terminate, other than the right to
receive the Repurchase Price upon delivery of the Security. 
  
 This will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer to the Security has been made or the Security has been delivered to the Paying Agent. Installments of interest that mature on or prior to the Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash
to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date. 
  
 (5) If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date the principal amount of such Security (or
portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at 

  

 93 

 
the rate of 3% per annum, and each such Security shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the
case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for. 
  
 (6)
Any Security that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (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 his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security
or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. 
  
 (7) All Securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee
to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.9. 
  
 (8) The Company will comply with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable, in
connection with the Company Notice. 
  
 SECTION
13.3 Certain Definitions. 
  
 For purposes of the
foregoing sections of this Article XIII, 
  
 (1) the term
“beneficial owner” shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3, as in effect on the date of the original execution of this Indenture, promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act; provided that the Company and the
Trustee may rely on filings under Sections 13D and 13G under the Exchange Act for purposes of this Article XIII; 
  
 (2) a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred at the time, after the original issuance of the Securities, that any of the following
occurs: 
  
 (i) the acquisition by any Person of beneficial
ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of shares of capital stock of the Company entitling such person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares
of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the elections of directors, other than any such acquisition by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan of the Company; or 
  

 94 

 (ii) any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other Person, any merger
of another Person into the Company, or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another Person, other than: 
  
 (a) any such transaction pursuant to which the holders of 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of the
Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors immediately prior to such transaction have the entitlement to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after such transaction; or 
  
 (b) any such transaction which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company. 
  
 (iii) any transaction or event (whether by means of an exchange offer,
liquidation, tender offer, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) in connection with which all or substantially all of the Common Stock is exchanged for, converted into, acquired
for or constitutes solely the right to receive, consideration which is not all or substantially all common stock that: 
  
 (a) is listed on, or immediately after the transaction or event will be listed on, a United States national securities exchange, or 
  
 (b) is approved, or immediately after the transaction or event will be
approved, for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or any similar United States system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities prices. 
  
 Provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if: (I) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for any five
Trading Days within the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days ending immediately after the later of the Change in Control and the public announcement of the Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control under clause (i) above) or the period
of 10 consecutive Trading Days ending immediately before the Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control under clause (ii) or (iii) above) shall, in the case of each of such five Trading Days, equal or exceed 105% of the Conversion Price
of the Securities in effect on each of such five Trading Days; or (II) all of the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in a merger or consolidation
otherwise constituting a Change in Control under clause (i) or (ii) above, consists of shares of common stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on the
Nasdaq National Market (or will be so traded or quoted immediately following such merger or consolidation) and as a result of such merger or consolidation the notes become convertible solely into such common stock, depositary receipts or other
certificates representing common equity interests. 
  
 (3) the
term “Conversion Price” shall equal U.S. $1,000 divided by the Conversion Rate (rounded to the nearest U.S. $0.01); and 
  

 95 

 (4) for purposes of Section 13.3(2)(i), the term “Person” shall include any syndicate or group
which would be deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date of the original execution of this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 13.4 Consolidation, Merger, Etc.. 
  
 In the case of any merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to which Section 12.11 applies, in which the Common Stock of the Company is changed or exchanged as a result into the right to receive shares of stock and other securities or property or assets
(including cash) which includes shares of common stock of another Person that are, or upon issuance will be, traded on a United States national securities exchange or approved for trading on an established automated over-the-counter trading market
in the United States, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or combination or which acquires the properties or assets (including cash) of the Company, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) modifying the provisions of this Indenture relating to the right of Holders to cause the Company to
repurchase the Securities following a Designated Event, including without limitation the applicable provisions of this Article XIII and the definitions of the Common Stock and Designated Event, as appropriate, and such other related definitions set
forth herein as determined in good faith by the Company (which determination shall be conclusive and binding), to make such provisions apply in the event of a subsequent Designated Event to the common stock and the issuer thereof if different from
the Company and Common Stock of the Company (in lieu of the Company and the Common Stock of the Company). 
  
 SECTION 13.5 Repurchase at the Option of the Holder on Specified Purchase Dates. 
  
 (a) General. At the option of the Holder, the Securities shall be
purchased by the Company on May 1, of each of 2009, 2014 and 2019 (each a “Purchase Date”), in whole or in part, at 100% of the principal amount in cash, on the Purchase Date, of such Securities to be purchased, together with accrued and
unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”) upon 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 Purchase Date. The Purchase Notice shall include the following information: 
  
 (1) if certificated Securities have been issued, the certificate number of
the Securities that the Holder will deliver to be purchased, or if no certificated Securities have been issued, such information as may be required under the applicable procedures of the Depositary and the Indenture; 
  
 (2) the portion of the principal amount of the Securities that the Holder
will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof (or the entire principal amount of the Securities held by such Holder); and 
  

 96 

 (3) that such Securities shall be purchased by the Company as of the Purchase Date pursuant to the terms
and conditions specified in the Securities and this Indenture; 
  
 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 in the case of certificated Securities or otherwise by book-entry transfer)
is 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 13.5 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all
respects to the description thereof in the related Purchase Notice. 
  
 The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of a Purchase Notice. 
  
 Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.5 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration from
the Company to the Paying Agent, to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security. 
  
 If the Paying Agent holds money or securities sufficient to pay the Purchase Price of the Securities on the Business Day following the Purchase Date in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture, then, immediately after the Purchase Date, the Securities will cease to be Outstanding whether or not the Securities have been delivered to the Paying Agent. Thereafter, all other rights of the Holders
shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Purchase Price upon delivery of the Securities. 
  
 Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of a portion of a Security. 
  
 (b) Notice of Optional Repurchase. The Company is required to give
notice (the “Notice of Optional Repurchase”) to the Holders on a date that is no less than 20 Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. The Notice of Optional Repurchase shall be delivered to all Holders at their respective addresses shown
in the Register and to beneficial owners as required by law, and shall include the following information: 
  
 (1) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
  
 (2) that the Purchase Notice must be delivered by each Holder electing to have the Company repurchase such Holder’s Securities (or a portion thereof)
as of the Purchase Date, to the Paying Agent (the Notice of Optional Repurchase shall include a form of Purchase Notice); 
  
 (3) that the Securities must be surrendered (by physical delivery at the office of the Paying Agent in the case of certificated Securities, or otherwise
by book-entry transfer) to the Paying Agent to collect payment; 
  

 97 

 (4) that the Purchase Price for any security as to which a Purchase Notice has been given and not
withdrawn will be paid promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Security; 
  
 (5) a brief summary of the conversion rights of the Securities; 
  

(6) the procedures for withdrawing a Purchase Notice and a sample form of Notice of Withdrawal; and 
  
 (7) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Securities being purchased.

  
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the
Notice of Optional Repurchase in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Notice of Optional Repurchase shall be prepared by the Company. 
  
 The Company will comply with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable, in connection with the Notice of Optional Repurchase. 
  
 (c) Notice of Withdrawal. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Purchase Notice
contemplated by this Section 13.5 shall have the right to withdraw such Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal (a “Notice of Withdrawal”) to the Paying
Agent. The Notice of Withdrawal shall indicate the following: 
  
 (1) the principal amount of Securities being withdrawn; 
  
 (2) if certificated Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the Securities being withdrawn or if certificated Securities have not been issued, such information as may be required under the applicable procedures of the
Depositary and the Indenture; and 
  
 (3) the principal amount, if
any, that remains subject to the Purchase Notice. 
  
 The Paying
Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any written notice of withdrawal.
