 CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (USA) LLC 
 DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC. 
 J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES INC. 
     c/o Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”) 
     Eleven Madison Avenue, 
     New York, N.Y. 10010-3629 
 Dear Sirs: 
 AmeriCredit Corp., a Texas corporation (the “Issuer”), proposes to issue and sell to Credit Suisse
Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co., Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), upon the terms set forth
in a purchase agreement dated September 12, 2006, (the “Purchase Agreement”), $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount (plus up to an additional $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount pursuant to an option granted thereunder) of
its 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2011 (collectively, the “2011 Notes”) and $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount (plus up to an additional $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount pursuant to an option granted thereunder) of
its 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 (collectively, the “2013 Notes”) to be guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by each entity listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Guarantors” and, collectively with
the Issuer, the “Company”). The 2011 Notes and the 2013 Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) will be convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Stock”) at the conversion prices set forth in the Offering Circular dated September 12, 2006 (the “Offering Circular”). The Notes will be issued pursuant to separate indentures dated as of September 18, 2006 (the
“Indentures”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors named therein and HSBC Bank USA, as trustee (the “Trustee”). As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees with
the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of (i) the Initial Purchasers and (ii) the holders of the Notes, the Guarantees and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (collectively, the “Securities”) from time
to time (each of the forgoing a “Holder” and collectively the “Holders”), as follows: 
 1. Shelf
Registration. (a) The Company shall, at its cost, prepare and, as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 90 days after the first date of original issuance of the Notes) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) and thereafter use its best efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as practicable (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf
Registration Statement”) providing for (i) the registration of the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 5 hereof) by the Holders thereof, from time to time in accordance with the methods of
distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have
the Securities held by it covered by the Shelf Registration Statement described in this Subsection (i) unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder, and (ii) the
registration of the delivery and the related offer of the Common Stock issuable conversion of the Notes if the Issuer determines, after consultation with nationally-recognized securities counsel, that registration of the delivery and the related
offer of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes is required by law. Such Shelf Registration Statement shall be an “automatic shelf registration statement” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under 

  

 1 

 
the Securities Act if the Company is then eligible to use automatic shelf registration statements. If the Shelf Registration Statement is not an
“automatic shelf registration statement”, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable, but not later than 180 days after the first date of original
issuance of the Notes. 
 (b) The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order
to permit the prospectus included therein (the “Prospectus”) to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, until the earliest of (i) two years from the date the Company files the Shelf Registration
Statement, (ii) the date by which all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto and (iii) the date by which all the Securities are no longer restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144(k)
under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof), assuming for this purpose that the Holders thereof are not affiliates of the Company (in any such case, such period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”).
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sentence, if the Issuer determines, after consultation with nationally-recognized securities counsel, that registration of the delivery and the related offer of the Common Stock upon conversion of the
Notes is required by law, the Shelf Registration Period shall not terminate until all the Notes have been converted or are no longer outstanding. The Company shall be deemed not to have used its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period or, if applicable Holders of the Notes not being
able to convert the Notes, unless such action is (i) required by applicable law or (ii) taken by the Company in good faith and contemplated by Section 2(b)(v) below, and the Company thereafter complies with the requirements of
Section 2(h). 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of their respective effective dates, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. 
 2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Shelf Registration contemplated by
Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, prior to the
filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser (with respect to any portion of an
unsold allotment from the original offering) is participating in the Shelf Registration Statement, shall use its best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser reasonably may
propose; and (ii) include in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement (or, if permitted by Rule 430B(b) under the Securities Act) the names of the Holders who propose to sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement as selling securityholders within ten business days of the receipt by the Company from the Holder of the completed questionnaire included as Annex A to the Offering Circular (a “Completed Questionnaire”); provided
that the names of the Holders who have submitted Completed Questionnaires during any period in which the Company has suspended the use of the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 2(b) shall be included within the Shelf
Registration Statement within ten business days after the end of the suspension period. 
 (b) The Company shall give written notice to the
Initial Purchasers and, in the case of clauses (ii)-(vi) hereof, the Holders of the Securities from whom the Company has received a Completed Questionnaire (which notice pursuant to clauses (iii)-(vi) hereof shall be accompanied by an
instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 
 (i) when the Shelf
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission; 
 (ii) when the Shelf Registration
Statement or any post effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
  

 2 

 (iii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Shelf
Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 
 (iv) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, or a notification of objection to the use of the form on which the Shelf Registration Statement has
been filed, or the happening of any event that causes the Company to become an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; 
 (v) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
 (vi) of
the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order that the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
 (c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of
the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (d) The Company shall, upon request, furnish to each Holder of Securities included as a selling
securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto), without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by reference). The Company shall not, without the prior consent of the Initial Purchasers, make any offer specifically relating to the
Securities that the Company reasonably believes would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. 
 (e) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or related prospectus supplement, without
charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (f) Prior to any public offering of the Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and
sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in
such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take
any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
 (g)
The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in
such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request, and with respect to the Notes in accordance with the applicable Indenture, a reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement. 
 (h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (iii) through (vi) of Section 2(b) above during
the period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders or purchasers of the Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 

  

 3 

 
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers and the Holders in accordance with paragraphs (iii) through (vi) of Section 2(b) above to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the
Prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchasers and the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 1(b) above shall be extended by the number
of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers and the Holders shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 2(h). During the period
during which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, if the Shelf Registration Statement will expire on the third anniversary of its initial effectiveness in accordance with Rule
415(a)(5) under the Securities Act, the Company will, prior to the expiration of the Shelf Registration Statement, file, and use its best efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) within a
period that avoids any interruption in the ability of Holders of Securities included as selling securityholders in the expiring Shelf Registration Statement to make dispositions of Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or, if
applicable, the ability of the Company to deliver Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, a new registration statement relating to the Securities, which shall be deemed the “Shelf Registration Statement” for purposes of this Agreement.

 (i) Not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will obtain CUSIP numbers for the Notes registered
under the Shelf Registration Statement (and provide such CUSIP numbers to the Depository Trust Company), and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for the Notes, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. 

(j) The Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Shelf
Registration Statement and will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Shelf
Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 
 (k) The Company shall cause each of the Indentures to be
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. If such qualification would require the
appointment of a new trustee under an Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the applicable Indenture. 
 (l) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as
the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a
reasonable time after receiving such request. 
 (m) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an
underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other actions, if any, as any Holder shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration; provided, that the Company
is required to facilitate an underwritten offering only if the aggregate principal amount of offered Notes (or, if applicable, the public offering price of the Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes) subject to such underwritten offering is at
least $40 million or, if less, the remaining Securities entitled to be included in a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (n) The Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or
other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and
auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be 

  

 4 

 
reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act;
provided, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as
described in Section 3 hereof. 
 (o) The Company, if requested by any Holder of Securities included as a selling securityholder in the
Shelf Registration Statement (including all amendments thereto), shall use its best efforts to cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities (in form, scope and substance which is reasonably
satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any) addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof, and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement, (it being agreed
that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good standing of the Company and its subsidiaries; the qualification of the Company and its subsidiaries to transact business as foreign
corporations; the due authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 2(m) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the
Securities; the absence, to such counsel’s knowledge and except as set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement, of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries; the absence of governmental approvals
required to be obtained in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the offering and sale of the Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in Section 2(m) hereof; the compliance as to form of the Shelf Registration Statement
and any documents incorporated by reference therein and of the Indentures with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and, if such opinion is rendered in connection with an underwritten offering, as of the
date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto or most recent prospectus supplement thereto that is deemed to establish a new effective date, as the case may be,
the absence from the Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement included therein, as then amended or supplemented, and from any documents incorporated by reference therein of an untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such documents
were filed with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)); and as of an applicable time identified by such Holders or managing underwriters, the absence from the prospectus included
in the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented at such applicable time and including any documents incorporated by reference therein, taken together with any other documents identified by such Holders or managing underwriters, of an
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and
certificates and updates thereof reasonably requested by any underwriters of the Securities; and (iii) its independent public accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for which financial information is
provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in
connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72. 
 (p) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting
syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the “Rules”) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”)) thereof, whether as a
Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without
limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a “qualified independent underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement relating to such
Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the
yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 4 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may
be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 
 (q) The Company shall use its best efforts to
take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 
  

 5 

 (r) The Company may suspend use of the Prospectus for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 30 days in
any 90-day period or an aggregate of 90 days in any twelve-month period in the event of: 
 (i) the issuance by the SEC of a
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, 
 (ii) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact as a result of which the Shelf Registration Statement shall contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or 
 (iii) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development that, in the discretion of the Company, makes it appropriate to
suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus. 
 In the event of a suspension pursuant to clause
(ii) above, subject to the next sentence, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or file a document that would be
incorporated by reference into such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus so that such Shelf Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Securities being sold thereunder, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, subject
to the next sentence, use its best efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and give notice to the Holders that the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement is suspended and, upon receipt of any
such notice, each Holder agrees not to sell any Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for above, or until it is advised in writing by the
Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. 
 The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (i) above, as promptly
as is practicable, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, as soon as, in the sole judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such material event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if necessary to
avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, as soon as, in the discretion of the Company, such suspension is no longer appropriate. 
 3. Registration Expenses. (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of and compliance with this Agreement will be borne by
the Company, regardless of whether the Shelf Registration Statement is ever filed or becomes effective, including without limitation; 
 (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; 
 (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance
with federal securities and state “blue sky” or securities laws; 
 (iii) all expenses of printing (including
printing certificates for the Securities to be issued and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; 
 (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; 
  

 6 

 (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Securities on a
national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and 
 (vi) all fees and
disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). 
 The Company will bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees
and expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the Company. 
 (b) In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement
required by this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, designated by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (provided that Holders of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Notes shall be deemed to be Holders of the aggregate principal
amount of Notes from which such Common Stock was converted) to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith. 
 4.
Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, and such controlling persons
are referred to collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus including any document incorporated by reference therein, or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act (an “Issuer FWP”) specifically relating to the Shelf Registration Statement, or
arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to
the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to the Shelf Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such
Holder specifically for inclusion therein (which shall include, without limitation, the information provided to the Company by such Indemnified Party in the Completed Questionnaire); provided further, that this indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders. 
 (b) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to the Shelf Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company
by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein (which shall include, without limitation, the information provided to the Company by such Indemnified Party in the Completed Questionnaire); and, subject to the limitation set forth
immediately 

  

 7 

 
preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its
controlling persons. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4 of notice of the commencement of any
action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 4, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or
(b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the
indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4 for any legal
or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf
of any indemnified party. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified
party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4(d), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by
such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For
purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 
 (e) The agreements contained in this Section 4 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 5. Interest Amounts Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Interest (the “Interest
Amounts”) with respect to the Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iii) below being herein called a “Registration Default”):

 (i) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission by the 90th day after the first date of original issuance of the Notes; 
 (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement, if it is not an “automatic shelf registration statement” has not been declared effective
by the Commission by the 180th day after the first date of original issue of the Notes; or 
 (iii) after the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective, or the
Prospectus ceases to be usable in connection with (1) resales of the Notes, the Guarantees and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or (2) delivery by the Company of the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon
conversion of the Notes if the Company determines, after consultation with nationally recognized securities counsel, that registration of the delivery and the related offer of such shares of Common Stock is required by law, in accordance with and
during the periods specified in this Agreement (A) unless the Company declares a suspension period to be in effect, it does not cure the Shelf Registration Statement within five business days by post-effective amendment or report filed pursuant
to the Exchange Act or (B) if applicable, the Company does not terminate the suspension period in Section 2(r) above by the 30th or 90th day, as the case may be. 
 Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever the reason for any such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is beyond the control
of the Company or pursuant to operation of law or as a result of any action or inaction by the Commission. 
 Interest Amounts shall accrue
on the Notes, over and above the interest set forth in the title of the Notes, from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the earlier of (1) the date on which all such Registration Defaults
have been cured, or (2) the two year anniversary of the first date of the original issuance of the Notes, at a rate of 0.50% per annum (the “Interest Amount Rate”). 
 For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any Interest Amounts are made payable hereunder at any rate or
percentage for or based on a period of 360 days, the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which such rate or percentage of interest is equivalent is the rate or percentage stipulated herein multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar
year and divided by 360. The foregoing sentence is for disclosure purposes only and shall not otherwise affect the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that the Interest Act (Canada) is applicable, any Interest Amounts which accrue under this
Agreement shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method and the deemed reinvestment principle shall not apply to such calculations. 
 (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 5(a)(iii) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to the Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus if (i) such
Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective
amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material events, with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or
the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events as required by paragraph 2(h)
hereof; provided, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Interest Amounts shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until
such Registration Default is cured. 
 (c) Any Interest Amounts due pursuant to Section 5(a) will be payable in cash on the Interest
Amount payment dates, which shall be March 15 and September 15 of each year, to the holders of record of the Notes on the preceding March 1 or September 1, as the case may be. The amount of Interest Amounts will be determined by
multiplying the applicable Interest Amount Rate by the principal amount of the Notes, further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Interest Amount Rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis
of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360.

 (d) “Transfer Restricted Securities” means each Security until (i) the date on
which such Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which such Security is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 
 6. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use
its best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder, make
publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Transfer Restricted Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of Rule
144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this Agreement to prospective purchasers of Securities identified to the Company by the Initial Purchasers upon written request. Upon the written request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to
such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange
Act. 
 7. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration are to be sold
in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be selected by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of such Transfer Restricted Securities to be included in such offering (provided that holders of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes shall not be deemed holders of Common Stock, but shall be deemed to be holders of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes from which such Common Stock was converted). 
 No person may participate in any underwritten registration
hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and
(ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 
 8. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 1 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no
adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce
the Company’s obligations under Sections 1 hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its
securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company represents that the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and
are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof. 
 (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and the written
consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents (provided that holders of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes shall not be deemed holders of
Common Stock, but shall be deemed to be holders of the aggregate principal amount of Notes from which such Common Stock was converted). Without the consent of the Holder of each Note, however, no modification may change the provisions relating to
the payment of Interest Amounts.

principal amount of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such
Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.06(d). The Company shall notify the Trustee upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date

Depositary (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section.

to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Note. Initially, the Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for
Cede & Co. 
 If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable
to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed

identifies as a beneficial owner of the related Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, and upon delivery of the Global Note to the Trustee
such Global Note shall be canceled. 
 Definitive Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to
this Section 2.06(d) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and
authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such definitive Notes are so registered. 
 At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures
and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for definitive Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred to a transferee who
receives definitive Notes therefor or any definitive Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the
Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

 None of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless the Note or such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under

Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Notes that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer
or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company with written notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Common Stock):

OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER: 
 (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION
WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND 
 (2) AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) TWO YEARS AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144(K) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY
SUCCESSOR PROVISION THEREUNDER, AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT ONLY: 
 (A) TO
AMERICREDIT CORP. (THE “COMPANY”) OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR 
 (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME
EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR 
 (C) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

 (D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. 
  

 21 

 PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE
TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. 
 Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of
the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.06(e). 
 (f) Any Note or Common Stock
issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that, prior to the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), is purchased or owned by the Company or any
Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Notes
or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144). 
 (g)
Notwithstanding any provision of Section 2.06 to the contrary, in the event Rule 144(k) as promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) is amended to change the two-year period under Rule 144(k) (or the corresponding period
under any successor rule), from and after receipt by the Trustee of the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for in this Section 2.06(g), (i) each reference in Section 2.06(d) to “two years” and in the
restrictive legend set forth in such paragraph to “TWO YEARS” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, (ii) each reference in Section 2.06(e) to “two years” and in the restrictive
legend set forth in such paragraph to “TWO YEARS” shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period and (iii) all corresponding references in the Notes (including the definition of Resale Restriction
Termination Date) and the restrictive legends thereon shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be references to such changed period, provided that such changes shall not become effective if they are otherwise prohibited by, or would
otherwise cause a violation of, the then-applicable federal securities laws. The provisions of this Section 2.06(g) will not be effective until such time as the Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate have been received by the Trustee
hereunder. This Section 2.06(g) shall apply to successive amendments to Rule 144(k) (or any successor rule) changing the holding period thereunder. 
  

 22 

 Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the
Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case
of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership
thereof. 
 The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the
receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Company or the Trustee may require the payment by the holder of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been tendered for repurchase upon
a Fundamental Change or is about to be converted into cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize
the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee
and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

 Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Note is
destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all
the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions
are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter
enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. 
 Section 2.08. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Notes in certificated form, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request
of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Notes in certificated form but with such omissions, insertions
and variations as may be 

  

 23 

 
appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the
Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such
authenticating agent Notes in certificated form (other than in the case of Notes in global form) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by
the Company pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made
by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in certificated form
authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 Section 2.09. Cancellation of Notes Paid, Etc. All Notes surrendered for the purpose
of payment, repurchase, conversion, exchange or registration of transfer, shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any Note Registrar or any Conversion Agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if
surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its
customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s written request. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.10. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Noteholders as a
convenience to holders of the Notes; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
 Section 2.11. Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Noteholders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with
the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, which will form the same series with the Notes initially issued hereunder, provided that no such additional
Notes may be issued unless they will be fungible with the original Notes for U.S. federal income tax and securities law purposes. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. The Company may also
from time to time repurchase the Notes in open market purchases or negotiated transactions without prior notice to Noteholders. 
 Section 2.12. Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest is made payable hereunder or in the Notes at any rate or percentage for or based on a period of
360 days, the yearly rate or percentage of interest to 

  

 24 

 
which such rate or percentage of interest is equivalent is the rate or percentage stipulated herein or in the Notes multiplied by the actual number of days
in the calendar year and divided by 360. The foregoing sentence is for disclosure purposes only and shall not otherwise affect the terms of this Indenture or the Notes. To the extent that the Interest Act (Canada) is applicable, all interest which
accrues under this Indenture or the Notes shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method and the deemed reinvestment principle shall not apply to such calculations.

ARTICLE 4 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 Section 4.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall upon request of the Company contained in an Officers’
Certificate cease to be of further effect, and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (a) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in
trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 5.04(d)) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid, or delivered or
caused to be delivered, all other sums payable and consideration to be delivered hereunder by the Company; and (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under
Section 8.06 shall survive. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

Additional Interest. The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be paid the principal of and premium, if any (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on
each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes. Each installment of accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes due on any Additional Interest Payment Date
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), may be paid by mailing checks for the amount payable to Noteholders entitled thereto as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company; provided that, with respect to any Noteholder
with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1,000,000, at the application of such holder in writing to the Trustee and Paying Agent (if different from the Trustee) not later than the relevant Interest Record Date, accrued and unpaid interest
and Additional Interest, if any, on such holder’s Notes shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such holder’s account in the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Noteholder notifies the
Trustee and Paying Agent to the contrary; provided further that payment of accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, made to the Depositary shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with
such wire transfer instructions and other procedures provided by the Depositary from time to time.

 Section 5.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase (“Paying Agent”) or for conversion (“Conversion
Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. 
 The
Company may also from time to time designate co-registrars one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that
no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as
applicable. 
 The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and
Conversion Agent and the Corporate Trust Office and the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan each shall be considered as one such office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes. 
 Section 5.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the
office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 8.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder. 
 Section 5.04. Provisions as to Paying Agent. 
 (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other
than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.04: 
 (i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes; 
 (ii) that it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Notes) to make any payment
of the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and 
 (iii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums so held in trust. 
  

 26 

 The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, or premium (including
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), if any, or accrued and unpaid interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price), if any, or accrued and unpaid interest or Additional Interest, if any, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action, provided that if such deposit is
made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. 
 (b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), if any, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any,
on the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), if any, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor under the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of, premium (including
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), if any, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes when the same shall become due and payable. 
 (c) Anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 5.04, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums. 
 (d) 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
premium (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), if any, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium (including the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price), interest or Additional Interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on request of the Company contained in an Officers’ Certificate, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust;
and the holder of such Note 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; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published
in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
shall not be less than thirty days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Requirement and Annual Reports. (a) At any time the Company is not subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall, at
such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and shall, upon written request, provide to any holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser
of such Notes or any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Notes, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or shares of Common Stock pursuant
to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company shall take such further action as any holder or beneficial owner of such Notes or such Common Stock may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder or

requirements of Trust Indenture Act section 314(a); provided that only the Trustee may institute a legal proceeding to enforce such delivery obligation. 
 (b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt
of such 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 hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate). 
 Section 5.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.
The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or
other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company or any of the Guarantors from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort
to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 5.08. Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 30, 2006) an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not the signer thereof has knowledge of any failure by the Company to comply with all conditions and
covenants then required to be performed under this Indenture and, if so, specifying each such failure and the nature thereof.

pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (a) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (b) the date on which such 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 such Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional
Interest directly to the Persons entitled to them, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment. 
 Section 5.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to
carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture. 
 Section 5.11. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. If the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries shall acquire or create another Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then such newly acquired or created Subsidiary shall execute a Subsidiary Guarantee, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to Subsidiaries that qualify as Securitization Trusts or Warehouse Trusts for so long as they continue to constitute Securitization Trusts, Warehouse Trusts, or any special purpose Subsidiary
formed for the limited purpose of participating in a financing arrangement secured by Receivables sold to that special purpose Subsidiary by the Company or another Subsidiary.

custodian or other similar official of the Company or such Subsidiary or group of Subsidiaries or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of ninety
consecutive days. 
  

 31 

 In case one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the
reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(j) or Section 7.01(k) with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in
Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act) of the Company, or a group of Subsidiaries of the Company that in aggregate would constitute a “significant subsidiary” of the Company), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already
become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Noteholders), may declare 100% of the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same
shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(j) or Section 7.01(k) with respect to the Company
(and not solely with respect to a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act) of the Company, or a group of Subsidiaries of the Company that in aggregate would constitute a “significant
subsidiary” of the Company) occurs and is continuing, the principal of all the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable. This provision, however, is subject
to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the
Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, upon all Notes and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Notes
that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law) and on such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.06, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all Events of Defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on
Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 7.07, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by
written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from a failure to deliver, upon conversion, cash and shares or Common
Stock, if any, due upon conversion) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences (other than a declaration or consequences, as the case may be, resulting from a failure to deliver, upon conversion, cash and shares or Common Stock, if
any, due upon conversion) and such Default (other than a Default resulting from a failure to deliver, upon conversion, cash and shares or Common Stock, if any, due upon conversion) shall cease to exist, 

  

 32 

 
and any Event of Default arising therefrom (other than a Default resulting from a failure to deliver, upon conversion, cash and shares or Common Stock, if
any, due upon conversion) shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right
consequent thereon. 
 In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings
shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Noteholders, and the Trustee
shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Noteholders, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 7.02. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described
in clause (a) or (b) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal,
premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 8.06. If the Company shall fail 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 Notes 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 Notes, wherever situated. 
 In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or
in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other
obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the
Notes 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and,
in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their
property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or 

  

 33 

 
deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.06; and any receiver,
assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to
the Trustee under Section 8.06 hereof, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such
proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 
 Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Noteholder or the rights of any Noteholder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding. 
 All rights
of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such
suit or 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 Notes. 
 In any proceedings brought by
the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any
holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings. 
 Section 7.03. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies
collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and
stamping thereon 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 8.06; 
 Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and
be unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Notes, including Additional Interest, if any, in default in the order of the maturity date of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the
Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto; 
  

 34 

 Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by
declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount including the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the cash component of the Conversion Obligation, if any, then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for
principal and premium, if any, and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest without
preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the
aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest; and 
 Fourth, to the payment of the
remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto. 
 Section 7.04. Proceedings by Noteholders. No
holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for sixty days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding within such sixty-day period pursuant to Section 7.07; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Note with
every other taker and holder and the Trustee that no one or more Noteholders 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
Noteholder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Noteholders
(except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 7.04, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Noteholder to receive payment of the
principal of and premium, if any (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon repurchase pursuant to Section 16.02), and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on 

  

 35 

 
such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Noteholder. 
 Anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of any Note, without the consent of either the Trustee or the holder of any other Note, in its own behalf and for its own benefit,
may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce, its rights of conversion as provided herein. 
 Section 7.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are
necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 
 Section 7.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article 7 to the Trustee or to the Noteholders shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or
observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such
right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 7 or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders. 
 Section 7.07.
Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Noteholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 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 with respect to Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction
shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with
Section 9.04 may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of premium, accrued and unpaid interest or accrued and unpaid
Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01, (ii) a failure by the Company to deliver cash
and shares of Common Stock (or cash in lieu of fractional shares), if any, upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 11 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
each holder of an outstanding 

  

 36 

 
Note affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 7.07, said
Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 
 Section 7.08. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence and
continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, mail to all Noteholders as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Note Register, notice of all Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such
Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; and provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest or accrued and unpaid Additional
Interest, if any, on any of the Notes, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing any Default in the payment of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, then in any such event the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice
if and so long as a committee of trust officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Noteholders. 
 Section 7.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Note by its 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 in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken 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; provided that the provisions of this Section 7.09 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding
in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium,
if any, accrued and unpaid interest or accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Notes being repurchased as provided in this Indenture) on
or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article 15. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 8.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or
waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) 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 such person’s own
affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the 

  

 37 

 
request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall
be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that 
 (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred:

 (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and,
after it has been qualified thereunder, the Trust Indenture Act, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith and
willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any 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 that by any provisions 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; 
 (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
 (c) 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 not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 9.04 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; 
 (d) whether or not therein
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; 
 (e) the Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other
matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Company or any Paying Agent or any records maintained by any co-registrar with respect to the Notes; 
 (f) if any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive
such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred, unless such Responsible Officer of the Trustee had actual knowledge of such event; 
  

 38 

 (g) in the absence of written investment direction from the Company, all cash received by
the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such
investment prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investments prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide timely written investment direction, and the Trustee shall have
no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of such written investment direction from the Company; and 
 (h) in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or transfer agent hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Article 8
shall also be afforded to such Custodian, Note Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or transfer agent. 
 None of the
provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. 

Section 8.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01: 
 (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, Note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; 
 (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the
Company; 
 (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and require an opinion of counsel and any advice of such counsel or
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; 
 (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order
or direction of any of the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred
therein or thereby; 
 (e) 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, 

  

 39 

 
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, 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; 
 (f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly
or by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, custodian, nominee or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder; and 
 (g) the permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties. 
 In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost
profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action other than any such loss or damage caused by the Trustee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Trustee shall
not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Default or
Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company or by any holder of the Notes. 
 Section 8.03. No
Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Notes or the proceeds of any
Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Section 8.04. Trustee,
Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Registrar May Own Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would
have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Note Registrar. 
 Section 8.05. Monies to Be Held in Trust.
All monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money 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 may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Trustee. 
 Section 8.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to
in writing between the Trustee and the Company, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the 

  

 40 

 
Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity thereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify
the Trustee in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred
without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust or in any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.06 to compensate or
indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except,
subject to the effect of Section 7.03, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the holders of particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 8.06 shall not be subordinate to any
other liability or indebtedness of the Company (even though the Notes may be so subordinated). The obligation of the Company under this Section 8.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or
removal or the Trustee. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 8.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents
and employees of the Trustee. 
 Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the
Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(j) or Section 7.01(k) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. 
 Section 8.07. Officers’ Certificate
as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness and bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to
be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Officers’ Certificate, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct, recklessness and bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. 
 Section 8.08. Conflicting Interests of Trustee. After qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, if the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the

which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition 

  

 41 

 
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined
capital and surplus of such Person 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. 
 Section 8.10.
Resignation or Removal of Trustee. 
 (a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such
resignation to the Company and by mailing notice thereof to the Noteholders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within sixty days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Noteholders, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Noteholders, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. 
 (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: 
 (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 8.08 within a reasonable time after written request therefor by the Company or by
any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months, or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Noteholder, or 
 (iii) 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, 
 then, in any such case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide
holder of a Note or Notes 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. Such court may
thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 
  

 42 

 (c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 9.04, may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Company of such
nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Noteholder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 8.10(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a
successor trustee. 
 (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of
the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.11. 
 Section 8.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall,
upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such
successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a
senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant
to the provisions of Section 8.06. 
 No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.11
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 8.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09. 
 Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.11, each of the Company and the successor
trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Noteholders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the Company
fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company. 
 Section 8.12. Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that
in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 8.08 and eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.09. 
  

 43 

 In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee,
and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in
the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of
the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or
successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 
 Section 8.13. Limitation on Rights of Trustee as Creditor. If and when the
Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), after qualification under the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of the
claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). 
 Section 8.14. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the
Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the holders of the Notes under this
Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days
after the date any officer that the Company has indicated to the Trustee should receive such application actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any
such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 CONCERNING THE NOTEHOLDERS

 Section 9.01. Action by Noteholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the
holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Noteholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record
of the Noteholders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Noteholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 10, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of
Noteholders. Whenever the 

  

 44 

 
Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may fix, but shall not be required to, in
advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Noteholders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such
action. 
 Section 9.02. Proof of Execution by Noteholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, Section 8.02
and Section 10.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Noteholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. The record of any Noteholders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 10.06.

 Section 9.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any
Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding
any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03)
accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note
Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability
for monies payable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following a Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent,
solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

 Section 9.04. Company-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount
of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on such Notes shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as
outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, any other obligor on the
Notes or a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice
of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by
or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes
not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. 
  

 45 

 Section 9.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not
after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 9.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of
a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 9.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Note and of any
Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of
transfer thereof.

of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or

Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of such supplemental indenture, the Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer and assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture

Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company shall
mail to the holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all the holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or
cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed
and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as
though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph
of this Indenture or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 12 may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released
from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture. 
 In case of any such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. 
 Section 12.03. Opinion of Counsel to Be Given Trustee. No merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease shall be effective unless the
Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption and, if a supplemenal indenture is required in connection
with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, complies with the provisions of this Article 12. 
 ARTICLE 13 
 IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, SHAREHOLDERS, 
 OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS 
 Section 13.01. Indenture and Notes Solely Corporate Obligations. No recourse for the payment
of the principal of or premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on any Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation,
covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, employee, agent, 

  

 52 

 
officer or director or Subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation or entity, either directly or through the
Company or any successor corporation or entity, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly
waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes. 
 ARTICLE 14

 GUARANTEES 
 Section 14.01. Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to each holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the
Company hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the principal of, premium and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the
Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repurchase or otherwise; interest on the overdue principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, if lawful, shall promptly be
paid in full; cash and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, due upon conversion of the Notes shall be paid or delivered, as the case may be, as provided herein and in the Notes; and all other obligations of the Company to the Noteholders or the
Trustee hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and 
 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension
or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repurchase or otherwise. 
 Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. 
 (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce
the same, any waiver or consent by any holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

  

 53 

 (c) If any holder of Notes or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return
to the Company or Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent
theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be
entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the holders of Notes in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and the holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any on the Notes guaranteed hereby may be accelerated
pursuant to Section 7.01 for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (2) in the event of any such
acceleration, the obligations guaranteed under this Indenture (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 Section 14.02. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 To evidence its
Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit E (executed by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its Officers)
shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 14.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 If an Officer whose signature
is on this Indenture or on the Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary
Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
  

 54 

 Section 14.03. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

 (a) Except as set forth in Articles 5 and 12 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall
prevent any amalgamation, consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor, as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to the Company or
to another Guarantor. 
 (b) Except as provided in Section 14.03(a) hereof or in a transaction referred to in
Section 14.04 hereof, no Guarantor may amalgamate or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor, or sell,
assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation, Person or entity unless: (i) subject to the provisions of Section 14.04 hereof, the Person formed by or surviving any
such amalgamation, consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) shall assume all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee; and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 
 Subject
to Section 14.04 hereof, in case of any such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to
the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder
which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company or such Guarantor and delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Subsidiary
Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 Section 14.04. Releases Following Sale of Assets. In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way
of amalgamation, merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of such an amalgamation, merger, consolidation
or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of such Guarantor), shall be
released and relieved of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and Section 14.03 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other
disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary
Guarantee. 
  

 55 

 Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall
remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 14. The release of any Guarantor pursuant to
this Section 14.04 shall be effective whether or not such release shall be noted on any Note then outstanding or thereafter authenticated and delivered. 
 Section 14.05. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. For purposes hereof, each Guarantor’s liability shall be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor thereunder,
but shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture and (ii) the amount, if any, which would not have (A) rendered such Guarantor “insolvent”
(as such term is defined in the federal Bankruptcy Law and in the debtor and creditor law of the State of New York) or (B) left it with unreasonably small capital at the time its Subsidiary Guarantee was entered into, after giving effect to the
incurrence of existing Indebtedness immediately prior to such time; provided that, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or other proceeding in which such Guarantor is a party that the amount guaranteed pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee
is the amount set forth in clause (i) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of such Guarantor, or debtor in possession or trustee in bankruptcy of such Guarantor, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit that the aggregate
liability of such Guarantor is limited to the amount set forth in clause (ii). In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Guarantor in accordance with the previous sentence, the right of such Guarantor to
contribution from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account. 
 Section 14.06. Trustee to Include Paying Agent. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this
Article 14 shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article
14 in place of the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE 15 
 CONVERSION OF NOTES 
 Section 15.01. Conversion Privilege. 
 (a) Upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 15, a Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert
all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 15.01(b) below, at any time prior to the close
of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 15.01(b) below, and (ii) irrespective of the conditions described in Section 15.01(b)
below, on or after July 15, 2011 and prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate (the “Conversion Rate”) of 35.6233 shares of
Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15.04 of this Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 15.02, the “Conversion Obligation”). 
  

 56 

 (b) (i) The Notes may be surrendered for conversion during the five Business Day
period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each day of such Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of
the then-applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes on such Trading Day and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Trustee pursuant to this clause and the definition of
Trading Price set forth in this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless requested by the Company, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Noteholder provides
the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the then-applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock at
such time, at which time the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per Note is greater than or equal to 98% of the
product of the then-applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. If the Company does not, when obligated to, instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Notes as
provided in the preceding sentence, or if the Company gives such instruction to the Trustee, and the Trustee fails to make such determination, then the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be deemed to be less than 98% of the
product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Company shall so notify the Noteholders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent. If, at any time
after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than 98% of the product of the then-applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock on such Trading Day, the Company shall so notify the holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent. In either case, the Company shall promptly publish a notice indicating that the Trading Price condition set forth above has
been met or, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than 98% of the product of the then-applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes and the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Trading Day, as the case may be, in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on its website or through such other public medium as the Company may
use at that time. 
 (i) In the event that the Company elects to: 
 (A) distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than
sixty calendar days from the Record Date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase its Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the Record Date
for such distribution; or 
  

 57 

 (B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock the
Company’s assets, debt securities, or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value (as determined by the Board of Directors) exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the date of declaration for such distribution, 
 then, in each case, the Company shall notify all holders
of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent not less than forty Business Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time until the
earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to such Ex-Dividend Date and (2) the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such
time. 
 (ii) In the event of a Fundamental Change, a Noteholder may surrender Notes for conversion at any time from and after
the twenty-fifth Business Day prior to (or, if only determinable subsequent to such date, then as promptly as can be determined subsequent to such twenty-fifth Business Day) the anticipated effective date of such Fundamental Change until the
Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Fundamental Change. The Company shall give notice of the anticipated effective date of the Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 16.02(b) as
promptly as practicable after the Company first determines the anticipated effective date of such Fundamental Change. 
 (iii)
The Notes may be surrendered for conversion in any Fiscal Quarter after the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2006, and only during such Fiscal Quarter, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least twenty Trading Days in a
period of thirty consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter is more than 130% of the then-applicable Conversion Price on the last day of such preceding Fiscal Quarter (such price, the
“Conversion Trigger Price”). The Conversion Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall determine at the beginning of each Fiscal Quarter commencing at any time after December 31, 2006 whether the Notes may be surrendered for
conversion in accordance with this clause (iv) and shall notify the Company and the Trustee. 
 Section 15.02.
Conversion Procedure. 
 (a) [Reserved]. 
 (b) Subject to this Section 15.02, the Company will satisfy the Conversion Obligation with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of
Notes surrendered for conversion in cash and shares of fully paid Common Stock, if applicable, as follows: 
 (i) The Company
will deliver to each converting Noteholder, on the third Trading Day immediately following the last day of the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period, cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for
each of the thirty Trading Days during the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period. 
  

 58 

 (ii) The Company will also deliver to each converting Noteholder cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Common Stock as set forth pursuant to clause (l) below. 
 (iii) The Daily Settlement Amounts shall
be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts and the amount of cash deliverable in lieu of fractional shares, the Company
shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the Daily Settlement Amounts and the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agents shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

 (c) [Reserved.] 
 (d) Before any holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above, such holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time
and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 15.02(j) and, if required, all transfer or similar taxes, if any, and (ii) in the case of
a Note issued in certificated form, (1) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent in the form on the reverse of such certificated Note (or a facsimile thereof) (Exhibit B hereto) (a “Notice of
Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any
shares of Common Stock, if any, to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer
documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 15.02(j), (4) if required, furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and (5) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any. The Trustee (and if different, the relevant Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article
15 on the date of such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a holder thereof if such holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and not
validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 16.03. 
 If more than one Note
shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes, if any, that shall be payable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or
specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered. 
 (e) A Note shall be deemed to have been
converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the holder has complied with the requirements set forth in clause (d). Payment of cash and delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any,
pursuant to Section 15.02(b) in satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation shall be made by the Company in no event later than the date specified in Section 15.02(b) by paying such cash 

  

 59 

 
(including any cash in lieu of fractional shares), to the holder of a Note surrendered for conversion, or such holder’s nominee or nominees, and issuing
or causing to be issued, and delivering to the Conversion Agent or to such holder, or such holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such
holder shall be entitled as part of such Conversion Obligation. 
 (f) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial
conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note. 
 (g) If a holder submits a Note for
conversion, the Company shall pay all stamp and other duties, if any, that may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock, if
any, upon the conversion. However, the holder shall pay any such tax that is due because the holder requests any shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the
holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations. 
 (h) Except as
provided in Section 15.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article. 
 (i) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented
thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee. 
 (j) Upon conversion, a Noteholder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of the Conversion
Obligations as described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and
unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Notes are converted after the
close of business on a Interest Record Date, holders of such Notes as of the close of business on the Interest Record Date will receive the interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date
notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Interest Record Date to the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an
amount equal to the interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on the Notes so converted; provided, however, that no such payment shall be required (1) if the Company has specified a Fundamental 

  

 60 

 
Change Repurchase Date that is after a Interest Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (2) to the extent of any overdue
interest, if any, existing at the time of conversion with respect to such Note or (3) if the Notes are surrendered for conversion after the close of business on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date and before the
close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Except as described above, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on converted Notes. 

(k) The Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as
a shareholder of record as of the close of business on the last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period; provided, however, if the last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period occurs on any date when the stock transfer books of
the Company shall be closed, such occurrence shall not be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive any such shares of Common Stock due upon conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such
date, but such occurrence shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which
such stock transfer books are open. Upon conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Noteholder. 
 (l) No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes. For each Note surrendered for conversion, the number of full shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
Daily Settlement Amounts for the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder,
the number of full shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that
would otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share), as determined by the Company, in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day
of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period. 
 Section 15.03. Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes
Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Conversion Rate applicable to each Note that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with this Article 15, at any time from, and including, the effective date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change until, and including, the close of business on the
Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, shall be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 15.03, otherwise
apply to such Note pursuant to this Article 15, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment. 
  

 61 

 As used herein, “Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment” shall mean, with
respect to each Make-Whole Fundamental Change and each applicable Note, an amount equal to the Applicable Increase. As used herein, “Applicable Increase” shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the amount set
forth in the following table that corresponds to the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “Effective Date”) and the Stock Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, all as determined by the Company:

 provided, however, that: 
 (i) if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two Stock Prices listed in the table above under the column
titled “Stock Price,” or if the actual Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two Effective Dates listed in the table above in the row immediately below the title “Effective Date,” then the Applicable
Increase for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by the Company by linear interpolation between the Applicable Increases set forth for such higher and lower Stock Prices, or for such earlier and later Effective Dates based on a
365 day year, as applicable; 
 (ii) if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater than $85.00
per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as provided in Section 15.04), or if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is less than $24.41 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner
as the Conversion Rate as provided in Section 15.04), then the Applicable Increase shall be equal to zero and this Section 15.03 shall not require the Company to increase the Conversion Rate with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change; 
 (iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article 15 (other than solely pursuant to this
Section 15.03), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, each price set forth in the table above under the column titled “Stock Price” shall be deemed to be
adjusted so that such Stock Price, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such Stock Price as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Stock Price and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate
in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article 15, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; 
  

 62 

 (iv) in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that is a Fundamental Change pursuant
to clause (ii) of the definition thereof pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property, upon effectiveness of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Notes will be convertible into cash and
Reference Property as described in Section 15.06; 
 (v) each Applicable Increase amount set forth in the table above
shall be adjusted in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to Section 15.03 through Section 15.04; and 
 (vi) in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes exceed 40.9668 per $1,000
principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.04. 
 (b) As soon as practicable after the Company determines the anticipated Effective Date of any proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to each Noteholder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent written notice of, and
shall issue a press release indicating, and publicly announce, through a public medium that is customary for such announcements, and publish on the Company’s website, the anticipated effective date of such proposed Make-Whole Fundamental
Change. Each such press release notice, announcement and publication shall also state that in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall increase, in accordance herewith, the Conversion Rate applicable to Notes entitled as
provided herein to such increase (along with a description of how such increase shall be calculated and the time periods during which Notes must be surrendered in order to be entitled to such increase). No later than the actual Effective Date of
each Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to each Noteholder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent written notice of, and shall issue a press release indicating, and publicly announce, through a public medium that is customary for
such announcements, and publish on the Company’s website, such Effective Date and the amount by which the Conversion Rate has been so increased. 
 Nothing in this Section 15.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. 
 Section 15.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows: 

(a) In case the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common
Stock, on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 

 
  

 63 

 where 
  

					
	CR0	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may
be;
			
	CR’	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may
be;
			
	OS0	  	=	  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as
the case may be; and
			
	OS’	  	=	  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may
be.

 Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business
on the Ex-Dividend Date fixed for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 15.04(a) is declared but not so paid or
made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution,
or split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared. 
 (b) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them for
a period of not more than sixty days after the Record Date of such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the Record Date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 

 
 where 
  

					
	CR0	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
			
	CR’	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
			
	OS0	  	=	  	the number of shares of the Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

  

 64 

					
	X	  	=	  	the total number of shares of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
			
	Y	  	=	  	the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over
the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date relating to such distribution of such rights or warrants.

 Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are distributed
and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. The Company shall not issue any such rights or warrants in respect of shares of the Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. To
the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of
such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not been fixed. 
 In determining whether any rights or warrants
entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of the Common Stock, there shall be taken into
account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. In no event
shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 15.04(b). 
 (c) In case the Company shall distribute
shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other of its assets or property other than (i) dividends or distributions covered by Section 15.04(a) and Section 15.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid
exclusively in cash, and (iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 15.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness, or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 15.04(c)
called the “Distributed Property”), to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 

 
 where 
  

					
	CR0	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
			
	CR’	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

  

 65 

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

 Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; provided that if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or greater than “SP0” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall receive on the date on which the Distributed Property is distributed to holders of Common Stock,
for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes upon conversion, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such
distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors
determines “FMV” for purposes of this Section 15.04(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last
Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. 
 With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 15.04(c) where there has been a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares
of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the
tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off will be increased based on the following formula: 
 

 
 where 
  

					
	CR0	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;
			
	CR’	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;
			
	FMV0	  	=	  	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock over the first
ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

  

 66 

					
	MP0	  	=	  	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following and including the effective date of the
Spin-Off.

 The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall become effective
immediately prior to the opening of business on the day immediately following the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in
respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days immediately following, and including, the effective date of any Spin-Off, references in the portion of this Section 15.04(c) related to Spin-Offs to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced
with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date for such conversion. 
 Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock, (either
initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are
not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 15.04 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this
Section 15.04 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be
made under this Section 15.04(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become
exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights or
warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any
Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 15.04 was
made, (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 or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming
such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise
by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued. 
 For
purposes of this Section 15.04(c), Section 15.04(a), and Section 15.04(b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.04(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 15.04(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or 

  

 67 

 
distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which
Section 15.04(c) applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 15.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of
Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 15.04(a) and Section 15.04(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Ex-Dividend Date
of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the Ex-Dividend Date,” “the Ex-Dividend Date relating to such distribution of such rights or warrants” and “the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution” within
the meaning of Section 15.04(a) and Section 15.04(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or
distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be” within the meaning of Section 15.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution”
within the meaning of Section 15.04(b). 
 (d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all
holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: 
 

 
 where 
  

					
	CR0	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
			
	CR’	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
			
	SP0	  	=	  	the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
			
	C	  	=	  	the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock.

 Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than SP0 as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive on the date
on which the relevant cash dividend or distribution is distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes upon conversion, the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares
equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared. 
  

 68 

 For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 15.04(d), in the event of
any reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Section 15.04(d), references in this
Section to one share of Common Stock or Last Reported Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the Notes are then
convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications. 
 (e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock and the
cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made
pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: 
 

 
 where 
  

					
	CR0	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the period of ten consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or
exchange offer expires;
			
	CR’	  	=	  	the Conversion Rate in effect at the open of business on first day following the last Trading Day of the period of ten consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the
date such tender or exchange offer expires;
			
	AC	  	=	  	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange
offer;
			
	OS0	  	=	  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
			
	OS’	  	=	  	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer);
and

  

 69 

					
	SP’	 	=	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer
expires,

 such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
immediately following the tenth Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days following the
date that any such tender or exchange offer expires, references in this Section 15.04(e) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender or exchange offer
expires and the Conversion Date for such conversion. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all or any portion of
such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the
purchases that had been effected. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 15.04(e). 
 (f) The term “Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock (or other security) have the right to receive any cash, securities or
other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash,
securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise). 
 (g) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of its Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its Common Stock or the right to purchase shares
of its Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. 
 (h) [Reserved.] 
 (i) In addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 15.04, and to the extent permitted
by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty Business Days if the Board of Directors determines
that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common
Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the holder of each Note at its
last address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.06 a notice of the increase at least fifteen days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and
the period during which it will be in effect. 
  

 70 

 (j) The applicable Conversion Rate will not be adjusted: 
 (i) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends
or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of the Common Stock under any plan; 
 (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock or restricted stock units or options or rights (including shareholder appreciation rights) to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee,
director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries; 
 (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the
Notes were first issued; 
 (iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; 
 (v) for accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any; or 
 (vi) for any transactions described in this Section 15.04 if Noteholders participate (as a result of holding the Notes, and at the
same time as holders of Common Stock participate) in such transactions as if such Noteholders held a number shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate at the time such adjustment would be required, multiplied by the principal amount
(expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Noteholder, without having to convert their Notes. 
 (k) All calculations and
other determinations under this Article 15 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share. 
 (l) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the
Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a
notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the holder of each Note at
its last address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.06 of this Indenture, within ten days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such
adjustment. 
 (m) For purposes of this Section 15.04, 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. 
  

 71 

 Section 15.05. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive
rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion. 
 Section 15.06. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. 
 Upon the occurrence of (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination covered by Section 15.04(a)), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company, or
(iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other Person, in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or
assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (any such event a “Merger Event”), then: 
 (a)
the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with 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 if
such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) permitted under Section 11.01(f) providing for the conversion and settlement of the Notes as set forth in this Indenture. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments that
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 15. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than
the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall
contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent required by the Board of Directors and
practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 16 herein. 
 In the event the Company
shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 15.06, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or
asset that will comprise the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Noteholders. The
Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Noteholder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this Indenture, within twenty days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver
such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 15.02(b), and subject to the provisions of Section 15.01 and Section 15.03, at the effective time of such Merger Event, (i) the 

  

 72 

 
right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be changed to a right to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock,
securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive
(the “Reference Property”) and (ii) the related Conversion Obligation shall be settled as set forth under clause (c) below. The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this
Section 15.06. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, as set forth in Section 15.01 and Section 15.02 prior to the effective date
of such Merger Event. 
 (c) If the Notes are convertible into cash and Reference Property as set forth above, the related
Conversion Obligation, with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion after the effective date of any such Merger Event, shall be settled in cash and units of Reference Property in accordance with
Section 15.02(b) as follows: 
 (i) The Company shall deliver, on the third Business Day immediately following the last
day of the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period, cash and units of Reference Property, if any, equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the thirty Trading Days during the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period
(provided that (1) such Daily Settlement Amounts, and the Daily Conversion Value, will be determined as if references in such definitions to “the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock” were references instead “the Daily VWAP of a
unit of Reference Property composed of the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction would
have owned or been entitled to receive based on the Weighted Average Consideration” and (2) the Daily VWAP shall be determined with respect to such a unit of Reference Property). 
 (ii) The Company will deliver the cash in lieu of fractional units of Reference Property as set forth pursuant to Section 15.02(l)
(provided that the amount of such cash shall be determined as if references in such Section to “the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock” were a reference instead to “the Last Reported Sale Price of a unit of Reference
Property composed of the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been
entitled to receive based on the Weighted Average Consideration.” 
 (iii) The Daily Settlement Amounts shall be
determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period. 
 (iv) For purposes of
this Section 15.06, the “Weighted Average Consideration” shall mean the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive cash, securities or other
property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an election. 
  

 73 

 (v) The Company shall notify the holders of the Weighted Average Consideration as soon as
practicable after the Weighted Average Consideration is determined. 
 (d) The above provisions of this Section shall
similarly apply to successive Merger Events. 
 Section 15.07. Certain Covenants. 
 (a) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the
Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. 
 (b) The Company covenants that, if
any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion,
the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. 
 (c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated
quotation system the Company will, if permitted and required by the rules of the relevant exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system,
any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. 
 Section 15.08. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other
Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the
Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and
any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion
of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of
Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to
Section 15.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 15.06 or to any
adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying
upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible
for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 

  

 74 

 
15.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 15.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to
deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 15.01(b). 
 Section 15.09. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case: 
 (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the
Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.04; or 
 (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of
its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or 
 (c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of
any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 
 (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; 
 the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Noteholder at its address appearing on the Note Register, provided for in
Section 2.06 of this Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least twenty days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or rights 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 or rights are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect
the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. 
 Section 15.10. Shareholder Rights Plans. Each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion of Notes pursuant to this Article 15 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 the Rights Agreement, or any future shareholder rights plan adopted by the Company,
as the same may be amended from time to time. If at the time of conversion, however, the rights have separated from the shares of 

  

 75 

 
Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement so that the holders of the Notes would not be entitled to
receive any rights in respect of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company has distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock of
the Company, evidence of indebtedness or assets as provided in Section 15.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. 
 ARTICLE 16 
 REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS 
 Section 16.01. [Reserved.] 
 Section 16.02. Repurchase at Option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change. 
 (a) If there shall occur a
Fundamental Change at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then each Noteholder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such holder’s Notes for cash, or any portion thereof that is an
integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than twenty Business Days and not more than thirty five Business Days after the date of
the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined below) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, including unpaid Additional Interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”). If such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Interest Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company
shall instead pay the principal amount to the Noteholders surrendering the Notes for repurchase pursuant to this Section 16.02, and pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, including accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any,
payable on such Interest Payment Date to the holder of record on the close of business on the corresponding Interest Record Date. Repurchases of Notes under this Section 16.02 shall be made, at the option of the holder thereof, upon:

 (i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note as Exhibit C thereto on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and 
 (ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in The Borough of Manhattan, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor;
provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 16.02 only if the Note so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice. 
 The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state: 
 (A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for repurchase; 
  

 76 

 (B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000
or an integral multiple thereof; and 
 (C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Notes and the Indenture; 
 provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures. 
 Any repurchase by the Company
contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 16.02 shall be consummated by the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry
transfer or delivery of the Note as described in Section 16.04(a). 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
any holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 16.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 16.03 below. 
 The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of
withdrawal thereof. 
 (b) On or before the twentieth day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change,
the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to all holders of record of the Notes a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at
the option of the holders arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The Company shall also deliver a copy of the Fundamental Change Company Notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent within five
Business Days after the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change. Simultaneously with the providing of such notice, the Company will also publish a notice containing the information set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice in a newspaper
of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time. 
 Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify: 
 (i) the events causing the Fundamental Change; 
 (ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change; 
 (iii) the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right; 
 (iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; 
 (v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; 
  

 77 

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

 (vii) if applicable, the applicable Conversion Rate, any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate; 
 (viii) if applicable, that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a holder may be
converted only if the holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; 
 (ix) that the holder must exercise the repurchase right on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”);

 (x) that the holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time;
and 
 (xi) the procedures that holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes. 
 No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Noteholders’ repurchase rights or
affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 16.02. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company at the option of the holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). 
 (d) In connection with any purchase offer, the Company will: 
 (i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, 
 (ii) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required under the Exchange Act, and 
 (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to purchase the Notes.

 Section 16.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. 
 (a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust
Office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying: 
  

 78 

 (i) the certificate number, if any, of the Note in respect of which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted, or the appropriate Depositary information if the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global Note, 
 (ii) the principal amount of the Note with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and 
 (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion
must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000; 
 provided, however, that if the Notes are not in
certificated form, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary. 
 Section 16.04. Deposit of Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price. 
 (a) The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company,
or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.04) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change
Payment Date”) an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed
by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided
the holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 16.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the holder thereof in the manner required by
Section 16.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register, provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

 (b) If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Payment Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased as a result of the corresponding Fundamental Change, then (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding,
(ii) interest, including Additional Interest, if any, will cease to accrue on such Notes, and (iii) all other rights of the holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, and
previously accrued but unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any, upon delivery of the Notes), whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  

 79 

 (c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to 16.02, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

required provision shall control.

 Section 17.11. Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent that shall be authorized to act on its behalf and
subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of Notes in connection with the original issuance thereof and transfers and exchanges of Notes hereunder, including under Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 2.07,
Section 2.08, Section 11.04 and Section 16.04 as fully to all intents and purposes as though the authenticating agent had been expressly authorized by this Indenture and those Sections to authenticate and deliver Notes. For all
purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the
Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee
hereunder pursuant to Section 8.09. 
 Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged

or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation or other entity. 
 Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination
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 any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee may appoint a

Register. 
 The Company agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services

 82

 Section 17.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 [FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE] 
 AMERICREDIT CORP. 
 0.75% Convertible Senior Note due 2011 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2011 (herein
called the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000 (or $275,000,000 if the Initial Purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes in full as set forth in the Purchase Agreement) all issued
or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 18, 2006 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined therein) and HSBC Bank USA (herein called the
“Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the
Guarantors and the holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. 
 In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Noteholders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and
payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. 
 Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying
Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of
the holders of the Notes, and in other circumstances, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental
indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences. 
  

 A-6 

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any, on this Note at the place, at the respective times,
at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed. 
 The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a
like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessments or other governmental
charges that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Noteholder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Noteholder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

 The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund. 
 Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the holder has the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase
all of such holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence
of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash
and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock, at a Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture. 
 Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.

 EXHIBIT E 
 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE 
 This Guarantee, dated as of
[                        ], makes reference to that certain Indenture dated as of September 18, 2006 among AmeriCredit
Corp., a Texas corporation, as issuer, the Guarantors (as defined therein), and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as trustee. Capitalized terms
used herein have the same meanings given in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. 
 Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and
severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Noteholder authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of
the Company to the Noteholders or the Trustee under the Notes or under the Indenture, that: (a) the principal of, premium and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, redemption, repurchase or otherwise; interest on the overdue principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, if lawful, shall promptly be paid in full; cash and shares of Common Stock, if applicable, upon
conversion of the Notes will be delivered as provided in the Indenture and in the Notes; and all other obligations of the Company to the Noteholders or the Trustee under the Indenture or the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
accordance with the terms thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or
renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. 
 The obligations of the Guarantors to the Noteholders and to the Trustee pursuant to this Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture are
expressly set forth in Article 14 of the Indenture, and reference is hereby made to such Indenture for the precise terms of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The terms of Article 14 of the Indenture are incorporated herein by reference. 
 No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, as such, past, present or future, of each of the Guarantors shall have any
personal liability under this Subsidiary Guarantee by reason of its status as such director, officer, employee incorporator or stockholder. 
 This is a continuing Subsidiary Guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns to the extent set forth in the Indenture until
full and final payment of all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Noteholders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of
rights by any Noteholders or the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon that party shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions
hereof and of the Indenture. 
  

 E-1 

 In certain circumstances more fully described in the Indenture, any Guarantor may be
released from its liability under this Subsidiary Guarantee, and any such release will be effective whether or not noted hereon. 
 This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Note upon which this Subsidiary Guarantee is noted shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture by the
manual signature of one of its authorized officers. 
 For purposes hereof, each Guarantor’s liability will be that
amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor hereunder, but shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture and (ii) the amount,
if any, which would not have (A) rendered such Guarantor “insolvent” (as such term is defined in the federal Bankruptcy Law and in the debtor and creditor law of the State of New York) or (B) left it with unreasonably small
capital at the time its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing Indebtedness immediately prior to such time; provided that, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or other
proceeding in which such Guarantor is a party that the amount guaranteed pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee is the amount set forth in clause (i) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of such Guarantor, or debtor in
possession or trustee in bankruptcy of such Guarantor, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit that the aggregate liability of such Guarantor is limited to the amount set forth in clause (ii). The Indenture provides that, in making any determination as
to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Guarantor in accordance with the previous sentence, the right of such Guarantor to contribution from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be
taken into account.
