 Dear Geoff, 
  
 I am writing to set out the proposed terms of your employment with LS Interval Ownership Ltd (in this letter “the Company”). I should mention that the
definitions of some of the words and expressions used in this letter are in paragraph 17. 
  

	1.	Position and Location 

  
 You will be employed as Group Finance Director of the Company or in such other capacity as the Company may require. Your responsibilities and objectives
will be as agreed from time to time. You will be based at the Company’s Head Office from time to time travelling to other locations in Europe and the United Kingdom as reasonably required in the performance of your duties. In addition you may
be required to work on a permanent basis at other locations in Europe. Should it become necessary to change your principal residence at the request of the Company, you will be reimbursed such removal and other incidental expenses as the Board
considers fair and reasonable. 
  

	2.	Commencement and Period of Employment 

  
 Your period of continuous employment with the Company began on 1 May 1995. Your employment will continue until either party gives to the other one
year’s written notice to terminate it.

	3.	Hours of Work and Duties 

  

	3.1	You will be required to work during normal business hours and such other hours as may be reasonably necessary for the proper performance of your duties for the Group.

  

	3.2	You are to devote the whole of your time to the business of the Group, unless prevented by ill health or injury. You may not (without the prior written consent of the Board) accept
any other appointment. Without such consent you may also not be directly or indirectly engaged in, concerned with or financially interested in any other business, except through a holding for investment purposes only of not more than three per cent
in any class of shares or securities in any company listed or dealt in on any recognised stock exchange. You may not undertake any paid work in your spare time without the prior written approval of the Board, who will need to be satisfied that this
will not affect the performance of your duties. 

  

	3.3	You will be responsible for the day to day management of the Company’s finances and accounts function subject always to the directions of the Board. You will report to the
Chief Executive of the Company. You will perform such duties for the Group and exercise such powers as the Board and/or the Chief Executive may require. Those duties are to be carried out loyally, diligently and in accordance with the directions of
the Chief Executive. You should keep him properly informed about the business of the Group and promote and protect the interests of the Group, not doing anything which is to its detriment. 

  

	3.4	Unless you have the prior written consent of the Board, you may not directly or indirectly receive or retain any payment or benefit, either in respect of any business transacted
(whether or not by you) by or on behalf of the Group, or with a view to any such business being transacted. 

  

	3.5	During your employment, you must comply and procure, so far as you are able, that your spouse and infant children (if any) or any trust in which you, your spouse or infant children
may be concerned or interested in as trustee or beneficiary, comply with any code of conduct relating to securities transactions by directors and specified employees issued by the Group from time to time. You will promptly give the Company such
information as the Group may require to enable it to comply with its legal obligations or the requirements of any Stock Exchange. 

  

 2 

	4.	Salary and Expenses 

  

	4.1	You will be paid a salary at the rate of £80,000 per annum. The Board will review your salary with effect from 1 January in each year, commencing on 1 January 1999. Your
salary will accrue from day to day and will be paid by equal installments in arrears and normally on the last day of each month, subject to such deductions as are required by law or under the terms of your employment. In addition to your salary, you
will receive a discretionary bonus of up to 50% of your salary, payable annually in arrears. 

  

	4.2	You will be entitled, on production of satisfactory evidence of expenditure, to be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses wholly and properly incurred by you in the
performance of your duties. Any credit card supplied to you by the Company may only be used for expenses incurred by you in the performance of those duties. 

  

	4.3	The Group may withhold the payment of any money owing or due to be paid to you if you are in breach of the terms of this Agreement and may withhold or deduct any money owing or due
to be paid by you to it under this Agreement or otherwise from any money owing or due to be paid to you. 

  

	5.	Ill Health and Injury 

  

	5.1	If you are unable to perform your duties as a result of ill health or injury, you will be entitled, for so long as your employment continues, to your salary during any period of
incapacity of not more than 60 days (whether consecutive or not) in any period of 52 consecutive weeks. The payment of such salary will be subject to the production of satisfactory evidence from a registered medical practitioner in respect of any
period of absence of more than seven consecutive days and will include any statutory sick pay and other social security benefits to which you are or may be entitled. Your qualifying days for statutory sick pay are Monday to Friday.

  

	5.2	 You will promptly inform the Company if you are unable to perform your duties as a result of ill health or injury caused by a third party and for which compensation
may be recoverable. In return for the Company continuing to pay your salary and to provide other benefits during your employment, you will take such action as the Company may reasonably request to pursue a claim against such third party, in order to
recover for the benefit of the Company the costs of continuing your employment. You will keep the Company regularly informed of the progress of any claim, provide 

  

 3 

	 	 
such information about it as the Company may from time to time reasonably require, and will immediately notify the Company in writing of the compromise,
settlement, award or judgment. You will, if you are asked to do so, refund to the Company the lesser of the amount
recovered by you (after deducting any related costs borne by you) and the aggregate cost of the salary and other benefits paid to you during your ill health or injury and will hold these proceeds on trust for the Company to apply them in repayment
of this obligation. 

  

	5.3	You will from time to time upon request submit yourself to a medical examination at the Company’s expense by a suitably qualified person of the Company’s choice, if you
are unable to perform your duties for the Group as a result of ill health or injury. If that person is unable to confirm that you are fit to perform your duties or if there are factors which such person considers are relevant to the performance of
those duties, you will co-operate in ensuring the prompt delivery of all relevant medical reports to the Company and will allow the Company access to any relevant medical report which has been prepared by a medical practitioner responsible for your
clinical care. 

  

	6.	Holidays 

  
 In addition to normal public holidays, you will be entitled to 20 working days’ paid holiday in each calendar year, with no more than 10 working days
being taken at any one time. You will be entitled to additional days at the discretion of the Chief Executive. This entitlement accrues pro rata throughout each year. Your holidays are to be taken as agreed with the Chief Executive, after your
having given at least four weeks’ prior notice, except that the Company may require you to take your holiday during your notice period or during the period when you are not required to work pursuant to
paragraph 12.3. Any holiday not taken at the end of each calendar year will lapse and no payment in lieu of any unused entitlement will be made. On the termination of your employment (except by reason of paragraph 12.1) you will be entitled to a
day’s salary for each day of holiday accrued but not taken in the year of departure. If you have taken excess holiday the Company may deduct a day’s salary for each excess day from any monies owed to you. 
  

	7.	Car 

  

	7.1	 The Company will provide you with a suitable car as determined by the Board, for you to use in the performance of your duties. You will also be entitled to
reasonable 

  

 4 

	 	 
private use of that car subject to such restrictions and upon such conditions as the Company may from time to time impose. 

  

	7.2	The Company will pay for the cost of insuring and taxing the car and will reimburse you, upon the production of satisfactory evidence of payment or expenditure, for all reasonable
running expenses (including petrol, maintenance and repairs) in connection with its use. 

  

	7.3	You agree to comply with all conditions and directions, which may be given by the Company from time to time concerning the use of its cars, and will not take it outside the United
Kingdom without the prior written consent of the Company. 

  

	8.	Other Benefits 

  

	8.1	The Company will contribute a sum equivalent to 7% of your gross salary to a personal pension scheme nominated by you, provided that the your scheme has been approved by the Commissioners of the Inland Revenue and the Company’s contributions do not exceed the limits
prescribed by law. If they do exceed the limits, the Company’s contributions will be restricted to them. 

  

	8.2	The Company will at its expense provide private medical insurance for you, subject to the provisions governing such insurance and on such terms as the Board may from time to time
decide, including the obtaining of insurance at reasonable rates of premium.

 SECTION 1.05. Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by their agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
“Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
  
 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take

direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Certificated Notes. Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges,

OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY),
ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

COMPANY OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE TWO OF THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE

authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication of such Notes. 
  
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000,000, or an aggregate principal amount of up to $95,000,000 if the 30-day Option is exercised fully, upon a Company Order
without any further action by the Company. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the amount set forth in the foregoing sentence, except as provided in Section 2.07. 
  
 The Notes shall be issued only in registered form without coupons and only in
denominations of $1,000 in principal amount and any integral multiple thereof. 
  
 SECTION 2.03. Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for purchase or payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and
of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent, including any named
pursuant to Section 4.05. The term Conversion Agent includes any additional conversion agent, including any named pursuant to Section 4.05. 
  
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or co-registrar (other than the Trustee).

 SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money and Notes in Trust. Except as otherwise provided herein,
on or prior to each due date of payments in respect of any Note, the Company shall deposit, or, in the case of the first six scheduled interest payments on the Notes, if the Company so elects, cause to be deposited in accordance with the Pledge
Agreement, with the Paying Agent a sum of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) sufficient to make such payments when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making
any such payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, the Paying Agent shall, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money so held in trust. If the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
either of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any
funds disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. 
  
 SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of
the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least semiannually on each March 1 and September 1 during the term of the Notes a listing of Holders dated within 13
days of the date on which the list is furnished and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 
  
 SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. Subject to Sections 2.01(b),
2.06(b) and 2.12 hereof, 
  
 (a) (i) upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Note, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of the company
designated as Registrar or co-registrar pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized
denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or
other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Notes from the Holder requesting such transfer or exchange. 
  

(ii) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at such
office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  

 16 

 (iii) The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register,
transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Notes in respect of which a Purchase Notice (as defined in Section 3.08(d)) has been given
and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of Notes to be purchased in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a
notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed. 
  
 (b)
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.12 and
this Section 2.06(b). Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, or in part, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee. 
  
 (c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as
aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the register for the Notes. 
  
 (d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in
connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Notes upon transfer or exchange of Notes. 
  
 (e) No Registrar shall be required to make registrations of transfer or exchange of Notes during any periods designated in the text of the Notes or in this Indenture as periods during which such registration of
transfers and exchanges need not be made. 
  
 (f) If Notes are
issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set forth on the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibits A and B setting forth such restrictions (collectively, the
“Legend”), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Note, the Notes so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such
satisfactory evidence, which shall include an Opinion of Counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers
thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Notes are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence, or (ii)
notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Note pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a
Note that does not bear the Legend. 
  
 (g) Any Note or Common
Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that 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 which results 

  

 17 

 
in such Notes or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144). 
  
 SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. If (a) any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such Note or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  
 In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is
about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3 hereof, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay or purchase such Note, as the case may be. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.07, the Company may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

  
 SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes; Determinations of
Holders’ Action. Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it or delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.07 and those described in this Section 2.08
as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Note; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given
or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed
not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows to
be so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles 6 and 9).

  

 18 

 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives
proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
  
 If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date, or on the Business Day following the Purchase Date, or on Stated Maturity, money or securities, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to
pay Notes payable on that date, then immediately after such Redemption Date, Purchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue; provided that, if such
Notes are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee has been made. 
  
 If a Note is converted in accordance with Article 10, then from and after the time of conversion on the conversion date,
such Note shall cease to be outstanding and interest shall cease to accrue on such Note. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
  
 If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary
Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes. 
  
 SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, purchase by the Company pursuant to Article 3, conversion, redemption or
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may not reissue, reoffer or resell new Notes to replace
Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 10. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.10, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. 
  

 19 

 SECTION 2.11. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of the Note or the payment of any
Redemption Price or Purchase Price in respect thereof, and interest thereon, for the purpose of conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company
or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 SECTION 2.12. Global Notes. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, (A) transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Sections 2.06 and 2.12(a)(i), (B)
transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note shall comply with Sections 2.06 and 2.12(a)(ii) below, and (C) transfers of a Certificated Note shall comply with Section 2.06 and Sections 2.12(a)(iii) and (iv) below.

  
 (i) Transfer of Global Note. A Global Note
may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any
transfer of a Note that is issued in exchange for a Global Note but is not itself a Global Note. No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of
such Person. Nothing in this Section 2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective (i) any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.12(a); and (ii) the transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary. 
  
 (ii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note for a Certificated Note. A beneficial interest in a Global Note
may not be exchanged for a Certificated Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note in accordance with Applicable Procedures for a
Certificated Note in the form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 
  
 (1) so long as the Notes are Restricted Notes, a certification in the form set forth in Exhibit C; 
  
 (2) written instructions to the Trustee to make, or direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to
such Global Note to reflect a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such decrease; and 
  
 (3) if the Company or Registrar so requests, an opinion of
counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend, 

  

 20 

 
then the Trustee shall cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary
and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Note to be issued, shall issue such Certificated Note and shall debit or cause to be
debited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Note so issued. 
  
 (iii) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. When Certificated Notes are presented to the Registrar
with a request: 
  
 (x) to register the transfer
of such Certificated Notes; or 
  
 (y) to
exchange such Certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of Certificated Notes of other authorized denominations, 
  
 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided,
however, that the Certificated Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange: 
  
 (1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing; and 
  
 (2) so long as such Notes are
Restricted Notes, such Notes are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and
documents, as applicable: 
  
 (A) if such
Certificated Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or 
  
 (B) if such Certificated Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or

  
 (C) if such Certificated Notes are being
transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration, (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth in Exhibits C, if applicable) and (ii) if the Company or Registrar so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably
satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend. 
  
 (iv) Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Certificated Note may not be exchanged
for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 
  
 (1) so long as the Notes are Restricted Notes, certification, in the form set forth in Exhibit C, that such Certificated Note is being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A; and 
  

 21 

 (2) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to
make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary
account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Note and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the
Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Note to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Note so cancelled. If no Global Notes are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon
written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 
  
 (b) Subject to the succeeding paragraph, every Note shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend, including the delivery of an
opinion of counsel, if so provided. Whenever any Restricted Note is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange for a Note registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Note must be accompanied by a certificate
in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C, dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Note, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of
transfer or exchange any Note not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate and other evidence the Registrar may request as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend. 
  
 (c) The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any
Note shall cease and terminate when such Note has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding period applicable to
sales thereof under Rule 144(k). Any Note as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.12 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance with Rule 144, by an opinion of counsel having substantial experience in practice under the
Securities Act and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Company, addressed to the Company and in form acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of such Note has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision),
be exchanged for a new Note, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the Notes under the
Securities Act. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under 

  

 22 

 
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial
owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to
determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned opinion of counsel or
registration statement. 
  
 (d) In the event that Rule 144(k) as
promulgated under the Securities Act is amended to shorten the two-year restriction period, then restrictions on transfer on the Notes and the Common Stock will be deemed to refer to the shortened restriction period. The Company undertakes to inform
the Trustee if such change to Rule 144(k) occurs and the effect (if any) to the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Notes and Common Stock and shall provide additional information (including an Opinion of Counsel and/or an Officers’
Certificate) if so requested by the Trustee. 
  
 (e) As used in
the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 2.12, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of any Note. 
  
 (f) The provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) below shall apply only to Global Notes: 
  
 (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture
or the Notes, except as provided in Section 2.12(a)(i), a Global Note shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Note registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof; provided that a Global Note
may be exchanged for Notes registered in the names of any person designated by the Depositary in the event that (i) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or such
Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the
Notes. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (ii) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the
Depositary. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a
Global Note. 
  
 (2) Notes issued in exchange for
a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be
registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Note to be exchanged in 

  

 23 

 
whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Note to be exchanged in part, either such Global Note
shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Note issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an
authorized representative thereof. 
  
 (3)
Subject to the provisions of clause (5) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined below) and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which
a holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
  
 (4) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (1) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered
form, without interest coupons. 
  
 (5) Neither
any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the
name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Note, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and
holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Note. 
  
 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
  
 SECTION 2.14. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay, or
shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest 

  

 24 

 
payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A special record date, as used in this Section 2.14
with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent
special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and to the Trustee (or cause the Trustee to mail to each Holder) a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

  
 SECTION 2.15. Registration Default. The Additional
Interest Amount shall be payable upon the Notes in the case of an Event (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). If an Event occurs, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating (1) the Additional Interest
Amount payable, (2) when such Additional Interest Amount began accruing and (3) when such Additional Interest Amount is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such an Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall
assume that no Additional Interest Amount is payable. 
  
 ARTICLE 3

  
 REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES 
  
 SECTION 3.01. Optional Redemption. The Notes are not redeemable prior
to March 29, 2007. On and after March 29, 2007, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in cash, on any date prior to Stated Maturity, only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock has
exceeded 150% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30-Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day prior to the date of mailing of the notice of optional redemption pursuant to Section 3.04. On and
after March 29, 2011, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in cash. If the Company redeems the Notes at its option, the Notes will be redeemed upon notice as set forth in Section 3.04,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount (the “Redemption Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date. If a Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior
to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest becoming due on such date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date according
to their terms, and the Redemption Price shall not include such interest payment. 
  
 SECTION 3.02. Notice of Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the redemption provisions of Section 3.01 hereof, it shall notify the Trustee at least 30 days prior but not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date of such intended Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the CUSIP numbers of the Notes to be redeemed. 
  

SECTION 3.03. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the particular Notes
to be redeemed by lot or on a pro rata basis or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. Notes and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or any whole multiple
thereof. 
  

 25 

 If any Note selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion
right with respect to the portion of the Note so selected, the converted portion of such Note shall be deemed (to the extent it may be) to be the portion selected for redemption (provided, however, that the Holder of such Note so converted and
deemed redeemed shall not be entitled to any additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than such Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of such Note). Notes that have been converted during a
selection of Notes to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection. 
  
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Registrar in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
  
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Notes redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal
amount of such Notes which has been or is to be redeemed. 
  
 SECTION 3.04. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 13.02 hereof to the Holders of Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01. 
  
 All notices of redemption shall state: 
  
 (1) the Redemption Date; 
  
 (2) the
Redemption Price and interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the Redemption Date, if any; 
  
 (3) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate
principal amount of Notes which will be outstanding after such partial redemption; 
  
 (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the Redemption Date, if any,
will become due and payable upon each such Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after such date; 
  
 (5) the Conversion Rate, the date on which the right to convert the principal of the Notes to be redeemed will terminate and the places
where such Notes may be surrendered for conversion; 
  
 (6) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any; and 
  
 (7) the CUSIP number of the Notes. 
  

 26 

 The notice given shall specify the last date on which exchanges or transfers of Notes may be made
pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, and shall specify the serial numbers of Notes and the portions thereof called for redemption. 
  
 Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company, or, at the Company’s request, by the
Trustee on behalf of the Company and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such notice of redemption shall be prepared by the Company. If the Company so requests that the Trustee deliver such notice of
redemption, the Company shall so inform the Trustee 15 days prior to the mailing date for such notice of redemption, or such shorter time as mutually agreed to by the Company and the Trustee. If, however, the Company gives such notice of redemption
to the Holders, the Company shall concurrently deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such notice has been given. 
  
 SECTION 3.05. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in Section 3.04 hereof, the Notes so to be
redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (except for Notes converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in
the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption
Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 
  
 If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the Interest Rate. 
  
 SECTION 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to or on any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date (other than any Notes called for redemption on that
date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit), and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 
  
 If any Note called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent or so segregated
and held in trust for the redemption of such Note shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Note or any predecessor Note to receive interest as provided in Section 4.01 hereof) be paid to the Company on Company Request or, if then held by
the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. 
  
 SECTION
3.07. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof (with, if the Company or the Trustee so
requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of 

  

 27 

 
such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and
in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered. 
  
 SECTION 3.08. Purchase of Notes at Option of the Holder. 
  
 (a) On March 29, 2011, March 29, 2014 and March 29, 2019 (each an “Optional Purchase Date”), Notes shall be purchased by the Company in cash at
the option of the Holders at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the Optional Purchase Date (the “Optional Purchase Price”), subject
to satisfaction by or on behalf of any Holder of the requirements set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 3.08; provided, however, that if the Optional Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest
Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest becoming due on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their
terms, and the Optional Purchase Price shall not include such interest payment. 
  
 (b) Not less than 20 Business Days prior to an Optional Purchase Date (if any Note is then outstanding), the Company shall mail a written notice of the Optional Purchase Date to the Trustee and to each Holder (at its
address shown in the register of the Registrar) and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law. The notice shall include the form of a Optional Purchase Notice to be completed by the Holder and shall state: 
  

	 	(1)	the date by which the Optional Purchase Notice pursuant to this Section 3.08 must be given; 

  

	 	(2)	the Optional Purchase Date; 

  

	 	(3)	the Optional Purchase Price; 

  

	 	(4)	the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent; 

  

	 	(5)	that Notes as to which a Optional Purchase Notice has been given may be converted pursuant to Article 10 hereof only if the Optional Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture; 

  

	 	(6)	that Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment; 

  

	 	(7)	that the Optional Purchase Price for any Note as to which a Optional Purchase Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the later of the Optional
Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Note as described in (6) above; 

  

	 	(8)	briefly, the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section 3.08; 

  

	 	(9)	briefly, the conversion rights of the Notes, including the Conversion Rate; 

  

 28 

	 	(10)	the procedures for withdrawing an Optional Purchase Notice; 

  

	 	(11)	that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Optional Purchase Price, interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Optional Purchase
Date; and

 The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.08, a portion of a Note so delivered for

 SECTION 3.09. Purchase of Notes at Option of the Holder upon Change in Control. 
  
 (a) If there shall have occurred a Change in Control, all or any portion of the Notes of any Holder equal to $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000, not
previously called for redemption, shall be purchased by the Company in cash, at the option of such Holder, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but not including, the purchase date (the “Change in Control Purchase Price”), on the date (the “Change in Control Purchase Date”) that is not later than 45 Business Days after the date the Company provides notice of a Change in
Control in accordance with Section 3.09(b) hereof, provided, however, that if the Change in Control Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest becoming due
on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their terms, and the Change in Control Purchase Price shall not
include such interest payment. 
  
 If there shall have occurred a
Change in Control and all of the consideration for the Common Stock in the transaction or transactions constituting the Change in Control consists of cash (a “Cash Buy-Out”), the Company will pay a Make-Whole Premium to the Holders of the
Notes in addition to the Change in Control Purchase Price. 
  
 The
“Make-Whole Premium” per Note will equal (a) the average of the Closing Trading Prices of a Note for the five Trading Days immediately prior to the Company’s public announcement of the Cash Buy-Out, less (b) the greater of (i) 1,000
or (ii) the product of (x) the average Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the five Trading Days immediately prior to the Company’s public announcement of the Cash Buy-Out and (y) the applicable Conversion Rate; and will be payable in cash or
Common Stock at the option of the Company. The Make-Whole Premium, if any, will not be less than zero. 
  
 The Make-Whole Premium may be paid for, at the election of the Company, in cash or shares of Common Stock, provided that the shares of Common Stock will
be issued out of the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock and will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights. If the Company elects to pay the Make-Whole
Premium by delivering shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be equal to (i) the Make-Whole Premium divided by (ii) 95% of the average of the Sale Price of one share of Common Stock for the ten consecutive
Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Change in Control Repurchase Date. The Company shall designate, in the notice of the Change in Control provided to Holders pursuant to Section 3.09(b) hereof,
whether the Company will pay the Make-Whole Premium in cash or shares of Common Stock; provided, 

  

 30 

 
however, that the Company will pay cash for fractional interest in a share of Common Stock. For purposes of determining the existence of potential fractional
interests, all Notes subject to repurchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be considered together (no matter how many separate certificates are to be presented). The Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration to be
paid once the Company has given the notice of Change in Control to Holders pursuant to Section 3.09(b) hereof, except in the event of that the Company does not a sufficient number of authorized and unissued Common Stock to pay the Make-Whole Premium
prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change in Control Repurchase Date. 
  
 A “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred at such time after the original issuance of Notes as any of the following
events shall occur: 
  
 (i) the acquisition by
any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a
purchase, merger (except a merger by the Company described in Section 3.09(a)(ii)) or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of shares of the Capital Stock of the Company entitling that person to exercise 50% or more of the total
voting power of all shares of such Capital Stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, other than any acquisition by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any employee benefit plans of the Company; or 
  
 (ii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
any other person, any merger of another person into the Company, or any conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to another person, other than: 
  
 (A) any transaction (1) that does not result in any
reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of the Capital Stock of the Company and (2) pursuant to which holders of the Capital Stock of the Company immediately prior to the transaction are entitled to exercise,
directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of the Capital Stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the continuing or surviving person immediately after the transaction;

  
 (B) any merger, share exchange, transfer of
assets or similar transaction solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation and resulting in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock of
the surviving entity; or 
  
 (C) all of the
consideration for the Common Stock (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) in the transaction or transactions constituting the Change in Control consists of common stock
traded on a United States 

  

 31 

 
national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with the
Change in Control, and as a result of such transaction or transactions the Notes become convertible solely into such common stock, or 
  
 (iii) during any consecutive two-year period, individuals who at the beginning of that two-year period constituted the Board of Directors
(together with any new directors whose election to the Board of Directors, or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company, was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at
the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election were previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors then in office; 
  
 provided, however, that no Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if the Sale
Price of one share of Common Stock for any five Trading Days within the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending immediately after the later of the Change in Control and the public announcement of the Change in Control (in the case of a Change in
Control under clause (i) or (iii) above) or ending immediately before the Change in Control (in the case of a Change in Control under clause (ii) above) shall equal or exceed 120% of the Conversion Price in effect on each of those five Trading Days.

  
 Beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3
promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The term “person” shall include any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. 
  
 (b) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all of
the outstanding Notes, prior to or on the 30th day after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company, or, at the written request and expense of the Company prior to or on the 30th day after such occurrence, the Trustee, shall give to all
Holders, in the manner provided in Section 13.02 hereof, notice of the occurrence of the Change in Control and of the purchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice of a purchase

 (13) the CUSIP number of the Notes; and 
  
 (14) whether a Make-Whole Premium shall be paid by the
Company and whether such Make-Whole Premium shall be paid in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock. 
  
 (c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.08(a) hereof upon delivery of a written notice of purchase (a “Purchase Notice”) to
the Paying Agent prior to the Change in Control Purchase Date, stating: 
  
 (1) the certificate number of the Note, if any, which the Holder will deliver to be purchased or the appropriate Depositary procedures if the Notes are not in certificated form;

 The delivery of such Note to the Paying

 33 

 
be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change in Control Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Change in Control Purchase Price
shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.09 only if the Note so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof set forth in the related Purchase Notice. 
  
 The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section
3.09, a portion of a Note so delivered for purchase if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Note also apply to the purchase of such

thereof, written notice of any event which with the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (4) or (5) above, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 
  
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding by written notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may declare the Notes due and payable at their principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment shall be
immediately due and payable. 
  
 If an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(6) or (7) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal and the interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

  

 40 

 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, by notice
to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Holder) may rescind or annul an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived,
except nonpayment of the principal and any accrued and unpaid cash interest that have become due solely as a result of acceleration, and if all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 have been paid. No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal and any accrued cash interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Notes or produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an
Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 
  
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Holder), may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (1) an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(1) or
(2), (2) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected or (3) a Default which constitutes a failure to convert any Note in accordance with the terms of Article 10. When a
Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. This Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)1(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)1(B) is hereby
expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. 
  
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights
of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against loss, liability or expense. This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)1(A) of the TIA and
such Section 316(a)1(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. 
  
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
  
 (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating
that an Event of Default is continuing; 
  

 41 

 (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
  
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and
offer of security or indemnity; and 
  
 (5) the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period. 
  
 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over
any other Holder. 
  
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to
Receive Payment and to Convert. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest in respect of the
Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, and to convert the Notes in accordance with Article 10, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right
to convert, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Company for the whole amount owing with respect to the Notes and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07. 
  
 SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the
principal amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest in respect 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 on the Company for the payment of any such amount) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest and
to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel or
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
  

 42 

 (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 
  
 Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
  
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
  
 (1) to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 
  
 (2) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for
the principal amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest (including, Additional Interest Amounts, if any) as the case may be, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due
and payable on the Notes; and 
  
 (3) the
balance, if any, to the Company. 
  
 The Trustee may fix a record
date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to
be paid. 
  
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant (other than the Trustee)
in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding. This Section 6.11 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. 
  
 SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now
or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal 

  

 43 

 
amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or any accrued and unpaid cash interest in respect of Notes, or any interest on such amounts, as contemplated
herein, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not 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 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 
  
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the

rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying 

  

 46 

 
Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

  
 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee
makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Pledged Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes, it shall not be responsible for any

hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a
Default occurs and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after the occurrence thereof or, if later, within 20 days after its is known to the Trustee, unless
such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice. Except in the case of a Default described in Section 6.01(1) or (2), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the best interest of Holders. The second sentence of this Section 7.05 shall be in lieu of the proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA and such proviso is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture,
as permitted by the TIA. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default. 
  
 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the
date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a), if required by such Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). 
  
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed
with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Company agrees to promptly notify the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any securities exchange and of any delisting thereof. 
  
 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees:

  
 (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable
compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited (to the extent permitted by law) by any provision of law in regard to the

 (b) to
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses, advances and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or 

  

 47 

 
determined by reference to the income of the Trustee)) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. 
  
 To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Holders shall have been deemed to have granted to the Trustee a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except for the Pledged
Securities and money and property held in trust to pay the principal amount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, or cash interest, if any, as the case may be, on particular Notes. 
  
 The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and the

expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 SECTION
7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company; provided, however, no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Trustee has accepted its appointment pursuant to this Section 7.08. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee and shall remove the Trustee if: 

	 	(1)	the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 

  
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; 
  
 (3) a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
  
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
  
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Company shall
promptly appoint, by resolution of its Board of Directors, a successor Trustee. 
  
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company satisfactory in form and substance to the retiring Trustee and the Company. Thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. 
  
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may petition any court of 

  

 48 

 
competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its
corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Sections
310(a)(1) and 310(b). The Trustee (or its parent holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the
Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of TIA Section 310(b). 
  
 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
  
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
  
 SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes. When all outstanding Notes will become due and payable within one year of their Stated Maturity and the Company has deposited with the Trustee cash sufficient to
pay and discharge all outstanding Notes on the date of their Stated Maturity, then the Company may discharge its obligations under this Indenture while Notes remain outstanding; provided that provisions of Section 2.03, Section 2.04, Section 2.05,
Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section 2.12, Section 4.01, Section 4.05, Section 7.07, Article 10 and this Article 8 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. The Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the Company

Agent shall promptly return to the Company upon written request (i) any excess money held by them at any time and (ii) any money or securities held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years,
subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person
and the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have no further liability to 

  

 49 

 
the Holders with respect to such money or securities for that period commencing after the return thereof. 
  
 SECTION 8.03. Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject
to Section 8.02, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders for the payment of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest. 
  
 SECTION 8.04. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is
unable to apply any money in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.03 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.03;
provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held
by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  
 ARTICLE 9

 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
  
 After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to each Holder a notice briefly describing the amendment. 
  
 SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall comply with the TIA. 
  
 SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions. Until an amendment, waiver or other action by Holders becomes effective, a
consent thereto by a Holder of a Note hereunder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the
consent, waiver or action is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before
the date the amendment, waiver or action becomes effective. After an amendment, waiver or action becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. 
  
 SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to
this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Notes. 
  
 SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. The Trustee
shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment contained therein does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign
such supplemental indenture. In signing such supplemental indenture the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
  
 SECTION 9.07. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture
shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

 ARTICLE 10 
  
 CONVERSION 
  
 SECTION 10.01. Conversion Right and Conversion Rate. Subject to the further provisions of this Article 10, a Holder of a Note may convert the
principal amount of such Note (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into Common Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the Final Maturity Date or
such earlier date set forth in this Article 10, at the Conversion Rate then in effect; provided, however, that, if such Note is called for redemption pursuant to Article 3, such conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the second
Business Day prior to the Redemption Date for such Note (unless the Company shall default in making the redemption payment when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and
such Note is redeemed). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note or portion thereof surrendered for conversion by $1,000, and then multiplying the
quotient by the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date. The initial “Conversion Rate” is 62.5027 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes and is subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 10.

  
 If a Holder converts their Notes pursuant to clause (4) below
and the merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale also constitutes a Cash Buy-Out, such Holder will be entitled to receive an amount, payable in cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company, equal to the Make-Whole Premium in addition to
the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of their Notes. 
  
 A Holder may convert all or any portion of their Notes into Common Stock only under the following circumstances: 
  

	 	(1)	prior to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the Final Maturity Date during any calendar quarter, if the Sale Price of the Common Stock on at least 20 Trading
Days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of such immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 110% of the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock on the last day of such
immediately preceding calendar quarter, 

  
 the
Company shall determine after the end of each applicable calendar quarter whether the Notes shall be convertible as a result of the occurrence of an event specified in clause (1) above and, if the Notes shall be so convertible, the Company shall,
not later than the fifth Business Day of the subsequent calendar quarter notify the Conversion Agent and the Trustee thereof that the Notes shall be convertible; if the Notes become convertible pursuant to clause (1) above, they will remain
convertible regardless of future changes in the Sale Price of the Common Stock; 
  

 53 

	 	(2)	Notes have been called for redemption (and only those Notes that have been called for redemption) by the Company pursuant to a notice of redemption given as provided in Article 3 at
any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date for such Notes (provided that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of any Note that shall have been called for
redemption in part, only the portion of such Note that shall have been called for redemption may be converted); 

  

	 	(3)	in the event that: 

  
 (i) the Company makes a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within
60 days after the record date for such distribution) to purchase Common Stock at a price per share at less than the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of declaration of such distribution; or 

 
 (ii) the Company makes a distribution to all holders of
its Common Stock of the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase its securities (other than rights referred to clause (i) above), if such distribution has a per share value exceeding 15% of the Sale Price of the Common Stock on
the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of declaration of such distribution, 
  
 then, in each case, the Company shall give notice to Holders at least 20 Business Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution and, from and after the date of such notice, Holders may convert their Notes
at any time until the close of business on the earlier of the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date and the date on which the Company publicly announces that such distribution will not take place; provided that no Holder may
exercise their conversion right pursuant to this clause (d) if the Holder otherwise may participate in the distribution without conversion of the Notes; 
  

	 	(4)	 the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange or a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the Holders
may convert Notes at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction (as such anticipated date is set forth in a written notice from the Company mailed to Holders) until (but not
including) the close of business on the 15th day after the actual effective date of such transaction (or, if such merger, consolidation or share exchange also constitutes a Change in Control, until the corresponding Change in Control Purchase Date).
If such merger, consolidation, binding share exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company occurs, then, from and after the effective time of the transaction, the right to convert Notes 

  

 54 

	 	 
into shares of Common Stock will be changed into a right to convert Notes into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other assets of the Company or
other Person which the Holder would have received if the Holder had converted its Notes immediately prior to the effective time of such transaction, 

  
 notwithstanding the above clause (4), the Notes will not become convertible by reason of a merger, consolidation or other
transaction effect by the Company or one of the direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the Company for the purpose of changing the Company’s state of incorporation to any other state within the United States or the District of Columbia; or

  

	 	(5)	during the five consecutive Business Day period following any five consecutive Trading Day period ending at any time on or prior to March 29, 2019 in which the Trading Price per
Note for each day of such five Trading Day period was less than 98% of the Conversion Value for the Notes for such Trading Day. 

  
 In connection with any conversion upon satisfaction of clause (5) above, the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes,
provided that the Company may request the Trustee to direct the Bid Solicitation Agent to make such determination to obtain such bid quotation in accordance with the foregoing clause (5). The Company shall have no obligation to make such request
unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per Note would be less than 98% of the Conversion Value of the Notes. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to direct the Bid Solicitation Agent to
determine the Trading Price of the Notes in accordance with the foregoing procedures 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 Conversion Value of the
Notes. 
  
 SECTION 10.02. Exercise of Conversion Right. To
exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Note to be converted shall in the case of Global Notes, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time, and, in the case of Certificated Notes, surrender such Note duly endorsed
or assigned to the Company or in blank, at the office of any Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice substantially in the form attached to the Note to the Company stating that the Holder elects to convert such Note or, if
less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted. 
  
 Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date shall be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest to be received on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Notes being
surrendered for conversion, unless the 

  

 55 

 
Company exercises its right to redeem such Notes during such period in accordance with Article 3. 
  
 Notes shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close
of business on the day of surrender of such Notes for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions (the “Conversion Date”), and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Notes as Holders shall cease (and all obligations of
the Company with respect thereto shall be deemed satisfied, including with respect to the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest), and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to such Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates
for or, if applicable, other book-entry confirmation representing the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 10.03 hereof. 
  
 Except as specifically provided herein, no cash payment or other adjustment
will be made on conversion of any Notes for interest accrued thereon or for dividends on any Common Stock. Accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. 
  
 In the case of any Certificated Note which is converted in part only, upon
such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted
portion of the principal amount of such Notes. 
  
 If shares of
Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Note or portion thereof are to be registered in a name other than that of the Holder of such Restricted Note, such Holder must deliver to the Conversion Agent a certificate in substantially
the form set forth in the form of Note set forth in Exhibit C annexed hereto, dated the date of surrender of such Restricted Note and signed by such Holder, as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Note.
Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register in a name other than that of the Holder shares of Common Stock or Notes issued upon conversion of any such Restricted Note not so accompanied by
a properly completed certificate. 
  
 SECTION 10.03. Fractions
of Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which 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 which 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) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Sale Price per Share of the Common
Stock as of the Trading Day preceding the Conversion Date. 
  

 56 

 SECTION 10.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustments,
calculated by the Company, from time to time as follows: 
  
 (a)
In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction: 
  
 (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record
Date fixed for such determination and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, and 
  
 (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares. 
  
 Such increase shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in this Section 10.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

  
 (b) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in
case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be
proportionately reduced. In each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to
such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. 
  
 (c) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than as contemplated by Section
10.14) entitling them (for a period of not more than 60 days) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share (or having a Conversion Price per share) less than the Current
Market Price on the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in
effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction: 
  
 (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date plus the
total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible), and 
  

 57 

 (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
the close of business on the Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate Conversion Price of the convertible securities so offered)
would purchase at such Current Market Price. 
  
 Such adjustment shall become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into
Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made
upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so
issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining
whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into
account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. 
  

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the
Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.04(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or other assets, including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.04(c) or 10.14, (2) any
dividends or distributions in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 10.11 hereof applies and (3) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in
cash referred to in Section 10.04(e) (the securities described in foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) hereinafter in this Section 10.04(d) called the “excluded securities”), then, in each such case, subject to the second succeeding
paragraph of this Section 10.04(d), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect
to such distribution by a fraction: 
  
 (1) the
numerator of which shall be such Current Market Price, and 
  
 (2) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board
Resolution) on 

  

 58 

	 	 
such date of the portion of the securities or other assets so distributed (other than excluded securities) applicable to one share of Common Stock
(determined on the basis of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date). 

  
 Such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market
value (as so determined) of the portion of the securities so distributed (other than excluded securities) applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing
adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of securities so distributed (other than excluded securities) such Holder would have
received had such Holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate
which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
  
 If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 10.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part
of such distribution (other than excluded securities), it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 10.04(g) to the
extent possible, unless the Board of Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interests of the Holder. 
  
 For purposes of this Section 10.04(d) and Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and
10.04(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.04(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 10.04(b) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) to which Section 10.04(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be: 
  
 (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or
warrants other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Rate increase required by this Section 10.04(d)
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, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further
Conversion Rate increase required by Sections 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except: 
  
 (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) “the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to 

  

 59 

 
receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such determinations” and “Record Date” within the meaning of
Section 10.04(a), (y) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 10.04(b), and (z) as “the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and such “Record Date” within the
meaning of Section 10.04(c), and 
  
 (B) any
shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 10.04(a) and any increase or reduction in
the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution. 
  
 (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock, cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon
a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 10.11 hereof applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 10.04(d) hereof), then and in each such case,
immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record
Date by a fraction: 
  
 (i) the numerator of
which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such Record Date, and 
  
 (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate amount of the cash distributed and (y) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. 
  
 In the event that such dividend
or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
  
 (f) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pays holders of the Common
Stock in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer, other than an odd-lot offer, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for shares of Common Stock to the extent that the cash and fair market value of any other consideration included in the
payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration
Time”), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time
by a fraction: 
  
 (1) the numerator of which
shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer or exchange offer) of all shares
validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and 
  

 60 

 (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. 
  
 Such increase (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the
event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the
Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 10.04(f) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result
in an increase in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 10.04(f). 
  
 (g) For purposes of this Section 10.04, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated: 
  
 “Current Market Price” shall mean the average of the daily Sale
Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days ending not later than the earlier of the date immediately prior to the date in question and the day before the “ex” date with respect to the issuance, distribution,
subdivision or combination requiring such computation. If another issuance, distribution, subdivision or combination to which Section 10.04 applies occurs during the period applicable for calculating “Current Market Price” pursuant to the
preceding definition, then “Current Market Price” shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the impact of such issuance, distribution, subdivision or combination on the Sale Price of the Common Stock during such period. For purposes of
this paragraph, the term “ex” date, when used: 
  
 (A) with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Sale Price was obtained without the
right to receive such issuance or distribution; 
  
 (B) with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination
becomes effective, and 
  

 61 

 (C) with respect to any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the
Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 10.04, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 10.04 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 
  
 (2) “fair market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length
transaction. 
  
 (3) “Record Date”
shall mean for purposes of this Article 10, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock 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 stockholders 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). 
  
 (h) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 10.04(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish
any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. 
  
 To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may
increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase would be in the best
interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and each Holder at the address
of such Holder as it appears in the Register a notice of the increase at least 15 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. 
  
 (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price then in effect; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 10.04(i) are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. In the event that, on the date that is five Business Days prior to the maturity of the Notes (whether at Stated Maturity or otherwise), an adjustment has been carried forward
pursuant to the preceding sentence but has not yet been taken into account in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate and notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph (i), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made on such date in
accordance with the relevant paragraph of this Section 10.04. All calculations under this Article 10 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No 

  

 62 

 
adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required if the
Holders participate in the transactions that would otherwise lead to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 10.04. 
  
 (j) In any case in which this Section 10.04 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company
may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Note converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the
adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof.

  
 (k) For purposes of this Section 10.04, 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. 
  
 SECTION 10.05. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided (other than in the case of an
adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 10.04(h) for which the notice required by such paragraph has been provided), the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Promptly after delivery of such Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice stating that the
Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective, and shall mail, or cause the Trustee to mail, at the Company’s expense, such notice to each Holder at the
address of such Holder as it appears in the Register within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment. 
  
 SECTION 10.06. Notice Prior to Certain Actions. In case at any time
after the date hereof: 
  
 (1) the Company shall
declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its capital surplus or its consolidated retained earnings; 
  
 (2) the Company shall authorize (other than pursuant to a Rights Plan) the granting to the holders of its
Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class (or of securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class) or of any other rights; 
  
 (3) there shall occur any reclassification of the Common
Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, a change in par value, a change from par value to no par value or a change from no par 

  

 63 

 
value to par value), or any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required, or the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or 
  
 (4) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; 
  
 the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of Notes pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof, and shall cause to be provided to the Trustee and all Holders in accordance with Section 13.02 hereof, at least 15 days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a
notice stating: 
  
 (A) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, 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, rights or
warrants are to be determined, or 
  
 (B) the
date on which such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, transfer, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up. 
  
 Neither the failure to give such
notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings or actions described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 10.06. 
  
 SECTION 10.07. Company to Reserve Common Stock. The Company shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Notes, the full number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Notes
outstanding. 
  
 SECTION 10.08. Taxes on Conversions.
Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto. A
Holder delivering a Note for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the
Holder of the Note or Notes to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that
such tax or duty has been paid. 
  

 64 

 SECTION 10.09. Covenant as to Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock
which may be issued upon conversion of Notes will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable. 
  
 SECTION 10.10. Cancellation of Converted Notes. All Notes delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as
provided in Section 2.10. 
  
 SECTION 10.11. Effect of
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of following events occur, namely: 
  
 (1) 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 subdivision or combination), 
  
 (2) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the Company with another corporation, or 
  
 (3) any sale or conveyance of all, or substantially all, the
properties 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 stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, the Company or the successor or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required
to so comply) providing that such Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon
such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had such Notes been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory
share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change,
merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-Electing Share”), then for the purposes of this Section 10.11 the kind
and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance for each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 10. If, in the case
of any such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of 

  

 65 

 
Common Stock 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, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, 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 practicable the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Sections
3.08 and 3.09 hereof. 
  
 The Company shall cause notice of the
execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Register, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of
such supplemental indenture. 
  
 The above provisions of this
Section 10.11 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances. 
  
 If this Section 10.11 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 10.04 hereof shall not apply to such event or occurrence. 
  
 SECTION 10.12. Adjustment for Other Distributions. If, after the Issue
Date of the Notes, the Company pays a dividend or makes a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock consisting of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the
Company, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula: 
  
 P ́ = P x 1/(1 + M/F) 
  
 where: 

 
 P ́ = the adjusted Conversion Rate. 
  
 P = the current Conversion Rate. 
  
 F = the fair market value of the securities distributed in respect of each
share of Common Stock, which shall be the number of securities distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock multiplied by the average of the Post-Distribution Prices of those securities distributed for the 10 Trading Days commencing on and
including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date. 
  
 M
= the average of the Post-Distribution Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the date on which “ex-dividend trading” commences for such dividend or distribution on the
principal United States exchange or market which such securities are then listed or quoted (the “Ex-Dividend Date”). 
  
 “Post-Distribution Price” of Capital Stock or any similar equity interest on any date means the closing per unit sale price (or, if no closing
sale price is reported, the average of 

  

 66 

 
the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date for trading of such units
on a “when issued” basis without due bills (or similar concept) as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange or market on which such Capital Stock or equity interest is traded or, if the
Capital Stock or equity interest, as the case may be, is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange or market, as reported by the Nasdaq system or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated; provided that if on any
date such units have not traded on a “when issued” basis, the Post-Distribution Price shall be the closing per unit sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either
case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date for trading of such units on a “regular way” basis without due bills (or similar concept) as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United
States securities exchange on which such Capital Stock or equity interest is traded or, if the Capital Stock or equity interest, as the case may be, is not listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the Nasdaq
system or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. In the absence of such quotation, the Company shall be entitled to determine the Post-Distribution Price on the basis of such quotations, which reflect the post-distribution value of the
Capital Stock or equity interests as it considers appropriate. 
  
 SECTION 10.13. Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine whether any facts exist which may
require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or intent of any such adjustments when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same.
Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (of the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the
conversion of any Note; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver
any shares of stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to
comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article. 
  
 SECTION 10.14. Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion. In the event that the Company implements a new preferred shares rights plan or any similar plan (a “Rights Plan”), or
the Company’s current Rights Plan is still in effect, upon conversion of the Notes into Common Stock, to the extent that any such Rights Plan has been implemented and is still in effect upon such conversion, the holders of Notes will receive,
in addition to the Common Stock, the rights described therein (whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan. Any distribution of rights or warrants
pursuant to a Rights Plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph (including the issuance of the rights, the distribution of separate certificates representing the rights, the exercise or
redemption of such rights in accordance with the applicable rights 

  

 67 

 
agreement and the termination or invalidation of the rights) shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to Section 10.04. 

 
 ARTICLE 11 
  
 SUBORDINATION 
  
 SECTION 11.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the principal of and interest on and
other obligations of any kind evidenced by the Notes and this Indenture are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 11, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents (or otherwise to the
extent Holders accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash or cash equivalents) of all Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the
subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness. 
  
 SECTION 11.02. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith,
relating to the Company or to its assets, or any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshaling of assets or liabilities of the
Company (except in connection with the consolidation or merger of the Company or its liquidation or dissolution following the conveyance, transfer or lease of its properties and assets substantially upon the terms and conditions described in Article
5), the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents (or otherwise to the extent Holders accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash or cash equivalents) of all
Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment in full, before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character (other than (i) payments made pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and (ii)
any payment or distribution in the form of equity securities or senior subordinated securities or subordinated securities of the Company or any successor obligor that, in the case of any such senior subordinated securities or subordinated
securities, are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding to at least the same extent as the Notes are so subordinated (such equity securities or senior subordinated securities or subordinated
securities hereinafter being “Permitted Junior Securities”)); and any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than (i) any payments made pursuant to the
Pledge Agreement or (ii) a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities), by set-off or otherwise, to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article 11 shall be paid by the liquidating
trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives ratably
according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash or cash equivalents (or otherwise to the extent Holders accept satisfaction of amounts due by
settlement in other than cash or cash equivalents) of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, or to have such payment duly provided for, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

  

 68 

 SECTION 11.03. Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. (a) No payment or distribution of any
assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than (i) any payments made pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or (ii) payments in the form of Permitted Junior Securities), may be made by or on behalf of
the Company on account of principal of, or Additional Interest Amounts, if any, or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Notes upon the occurrence of any Payment Default until such Payment Default
shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist or the Designated Senior Indebtedness giving rise to such Payment Default shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or cash equivalents (or otherwise to the extent
Holders accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash or cash equivalents). “Payment Default” shall mean a default in payment, whether at scheduled maturity, upon scheduled installment, by acceleration or otherwise,
of principal of, or interest on Designated Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period. 
  
 (b) No payment or distribution of any assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than (i) any payments
made pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or (ii) payments in the form of Permitted Junior Securities), may be made by or on behalf of the Company on account of principal of, or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase, redemption or other
acquisition of Notes during a Payment Blockage Period (as defined below), upon the occurrence of any event of default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness other than any Payment Default pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be
accelerated (a “Non-Payment Default”) . 
  
 The Payment
Blockage Period shall mean the period (each, a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the date of receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the representative of the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness in respect of which
the Non-Payment Default exists and shall end on the earliest of: 
  
 (i) 179 days thereafter (provided that any Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which notice was given shall not theretofore have been accelerated); 
  
 (ii) the date on which such Non-Payment Default is cured, waived or ceases to exist; 
  
 (iii) the date on which such Designated Senior Indebtedness
is discharged or paid in full; or 
  
 (iv) the
date on which such Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written notice to the Trustee or the Company from the representative initiating such Payment Blockage Period, 
  
 after which the Company will resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Notes, including any missed payments and
Additional Interest Amounts, if any. In any event, not more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced during any period of 365 consecutive days. No Non-Payment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any
Payment Blockage Period will be, or can be made, the basis for the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period, unless such Non-Payment Default 

  

 69 

 
has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days subsequent to the commencement of such initial Payment Blockage Period.

  
 SECTION 11.04. Acceleration of Notes. If payment of the
Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration. 
  
 SECTION 11.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 11.03, any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder which is prohibited by such provisions, then such payment shall be held for the benefit of, and shall be paid over and
delivered by such Trustee or Holder to, the representative of holders of Senior Indebtedness, as their interests may appear, for application to Senior Indebtedness to the extent necessary to pay or to provide for the payment of all such Senior
Indebtedness in full in cash or cash equivalents (or otherwise to the extent Holders accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash or cash equivalents). 
  
 With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of
the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 11, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe
any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 11, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. 
  
 SECTION 11.06. Notice by the Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts
known to the Company that would cause a payment of any obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 11, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this
Article 11. 
  
 SECTION 11.07. Subrogation. After all
Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness that is equal in right of payment to the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to
receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 11 to holders of Senior
Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company of the Notes. 
  
 SECTION 11.08. Relative Rights. This Article 11 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this
Indenture shall: (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; (ii) affect the relative rights of
Holders and creditors of the Company other than their rights in 

  

 70 

 
relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of
Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes. If the Company fails because of this Article 11 to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the
Stated Maturity date or an Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default. 
  
 SECTION 11.09. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Indenture. 
  
 Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 11.09, the holders
of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination
provided in this Article 11 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter,
Senior Indebtedness, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or secured; (b) sell, exchange, release, foreclose against or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing Senior Indebtedness; (c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, and Subsidiary thereof or any other Person. 

 
 SECTION 11.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of any Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their trustee or representative. 
  
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 11, the Trustee and the Holders of
Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such representative(s) or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or
to the Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, all holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 11. 
  
 SECTION 11.11. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 11 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate
Trust Office at least three Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 11. Only the Company or representative may give the
notice. Nothing in this 

  

 71 

 
Article 11 shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.06. 
  
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
  
 SECURITY 
  
 SECTION 12.01. Security. 
  
 (a) At the Closing Time, the Company shall (i) enter into the Pledge
Agreement and comply with the terms and provisions thereof and (ii) purchase the Initial Pledged Securities to be pledged to the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders in such amount as will be sufficient, upon receipt of
scheduled interest and principal payments of such Initial Pledged Securities, as computed by the Company, to provide for payment in full of the first six scheduled interest payments (up to and including the interest payment due on March 29, 2007 but
excluding Additional Interest Amounts), on the Notes when due. The Initial Pledged Securities shall be pledged by the Company to the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders and shall be held by the Trustee in the Pledged
Account pending disposition pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. 
  
 (b) On each relevant Date of Delivery (if such Date of Delivery is different from the Closing Time), the Company shall (i) enter into a supplement to the Pledge Agreement and comply with the terms and provisions thereof and (ii) purchase
the Additional Pledged Securities to be pledged to the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders in such amount as will be sufficient upon receipt of scheduled interest and principal payments of such Additional Pledged
Securities, as computed by the Company, to provide for payment in full of the first six scheduled interest payments due on the Notes issued in connection therewith. The Additional Pledged Securities shall be pledged by the Company to the Trustee for
its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders and shall be held by the Trustee in the Pledged Account pending disposition pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. 
  

(c) Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Pledge Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions
providing for foreclosure and release of the Pledged Securities) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in writing by the parties thereto (provided that no amendment that would materially adversely affect the rights of the
Holders may be effected without the consent of each Holder affected thereby), and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Pledge Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The
Company will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Pledge Agreement, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interest in the Pledged Securities
contemplated hereby, by the Pledge Agreement or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and
purpose herein expressed. The Company shall take, or shall cause to 

  

 72 

 
be taken, upon request of the Trustee, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Pledge Agreement to create and maintain, as security for the
obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes as provided in the Pledge Agreement, valid and enforceable first priority perfected liens in and on all the Pledged Securities, in favor of the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable
benefit of the Holders, superior to and prior to the rights of third Persons and subject to no other Liens. 
  
 (d) The release of any Pledged Securities pursuant to the Pledge Agreement will not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention
of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Pledged Securities are released pursuant to this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement. To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause Section 314(d) of the TIA relating to the release of property or
securities from the Lien and security interest of the Pledge Agreement and relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien and security interest of the Pledge Agreement to be complied with. Any
certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the TIA may be made by an Officer of the Company, except in cases where Section 314(d) of the TIA requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person shall be
an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected by the Company. 
  
 (e) The Company shall cause Section 314(b) of the TIA, relating to Opinions of Counsel regarding the Lien under the Pledge Agreement, to be complied with. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 and
7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance of the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such Opinions of Counsel. 
  
 (f) The Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or
appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of the terms of the Pledge Agreement and (ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company thereunder. The Trustee shall have the authority necessary in order to
institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Pledged Securities (including the authority to institute and maintain suits or
proceedings to restrain the enforcement of, or compliance with, any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order
would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee). 
  
 (g) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Pledged Securities in its
possession or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or
instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Pledged Securities. The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Pledged Securities in its possession if the Pledged Securities are accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property or property held in similar accounts and shall not be liable or responsible for
any loss or diminution in the value of any of 

  

 73 

 
the Pledged Securities, by reason of the act or omission of the Trustee, any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in
good faith. 
  
 (h) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 
  
 3 3/4% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2024 
  
 Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (the
“Indenture”) dated March 29, 2004 between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) unless otherwise indicated. 
  

	1.	Cash Interest. 

  
 The Company promises to pay interest at the Interest Rate in cash on the principal amount of this Note. The Company will pay cash interest semiannually in
arrears on March 29 and September 29 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on September 29, 2004, to Holders of record at the close of business on the preceding March 15 and September 15 (whether or not a business day)
(each a “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided or, if no interest has
been paid, from the Issue Date. Cash interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay cash interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest in cash on
overdue installments of cash interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. All such overdue cash interest shall be payable on demand. Upon conversion, accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or
forfeited. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment. 

  
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make payments in respect of the principal of, and cash interest on this Note and in
respect of Redemption Prices, Purchase Prices and the Make-Whole Premium, if any, to Holders who surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Notes. 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. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check or wire transfer payable in such money. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Note is registered in
the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. Any payment required to be made on any day that is not a Business Day will be
made on the next succeeding Business Day. 
  

	3.	Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. 

  
 Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar without notice, other than notice to the Trustee except that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent in the State of New York, City of New York, The Borough of Manhattan, which shall initially be an office or
agency of the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. 
  

 A-4 

	4.	Indenture. 

  
 The Company issued the Notes under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from
time to time (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. 
  
 The Notes are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company (except as provided in Paragraph 15 hereof)
limited to $95,000,000 aggregate principal amount (subject to Section 2.07 of the Indenture). The Indenture does not limit other Indebtedness of the Company, secured or unsecured. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption. 

  
 This Note is not redeemable prior to March 29, 2007. On and after March 29, 2007, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole at any time or
in part from time to time, in cash, on any date prior to Stated Maturity, only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock has exceeded 150% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30-Trading Day period
ending on the Trading Day prior to the date of mailing of the notice of optional redemption pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Indenture. On and after March 29, 2011, the Company may at its option, redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, in cash. If the Company redeems the Notes at its option, the Notes will be redeemed, upon notice as set forth in Section 3.04 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount (the “Redemption
Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date. If a Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest
becoming due on such date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their terms, and the Redemption Price shall not include such interest
payment. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the particular Notes to be redeemed from the outstanding Notes by the methods as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or
portions of Notes called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest. 
  
 Notice of redemption will be given by the Company to the Holders as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. 
  

	6.	Purchase by the Company at Option of the Holder. 

  
 On March 29, 2011, March 29, 2014 and March 29, 2019 (each an “Optional Purchase Date”), Notes shall be purchased by the Company in cash at the
option of the Holders at the Optional Purchase Price, up to, but excluding, the Optional Purchase Date, subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of any Holder of the requirements set forth in subsection (c) of the Section 3.08 of the Indenture. If
the Optional Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to 

  

 A-5 

 
the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest becoming due on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their terms, and the Optional Purchase Price shall not include such interest payment. 
  
 Not less than 20 Business Days prior to an Optional Purchase Date (if any
Note is then outstanding), the Company will mail a written notice of the Optional Purchase Date to the Trustee and to each Holder (at its address shown in the register of the Registrar) and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law. To
exercise a purchase right, a Holder must deliver to the Trustee a Optional Purchase Notice as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 Holders have the right to withdraw any Optional Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture. 
  

	7.	Purchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder upon Change in Control. 

  

If there shall have occurred a Change in Control (subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture), each Holder, at such Holder’s
option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to purchase its Notes (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is at least $1,000 or any whole multiple thereof, provided that the
portion of the principal amount of this Note to be outstanding after such purchase is at least equal to $1,000) at the Change in Control Purchase Price in cash plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Change in Control Purchase
Date. 
  
 If there shall have occurred a Change in Control which
is also a Cash Buy-Out, and a Holder surrenders such their Notes for purchase, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company, equal to the Make-Whole Premium in addition to the Change in Control
Purchase Price. 
  
 A written notice of the Change in Control will
be given to the Holders as provided in the Indenture. To exercise a purchase right, a Holder must deliver to the Trustee a Change in Control Purchase Notice as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 Holders have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice
of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. 
  

	8.	Conversion. 

  
 Subject to the Article 10 of the Indenture, a Holder of a Note may convert such Note (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into Common Stock at any time prior to
the close of business on the last Business Day prior to March 29, 2024 or such earlier date set forth in the Indenture, at the Conversion Rate then in effect. If such Note is called for redemption, such conversion right shall terminate at the close
of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date for such Note (unless the Company shall default in making the redemption payment when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date
such default is cured and such Note is redeemed). Subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture, in certain 

  

 A-6 

 
circumstances, a Holder may receive an amount in cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company, equal to the Make-Whole Premium, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of such Note. 
  
 The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note or portion thereof surrendered for conversion by $1,000, and then multiplying the quotient by the
Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date. The initial “Conversion Rate” is 62.5027 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes and is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. A Note in respect of
which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Company
shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock. 
  
 To convert a Certificated Note, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of
such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee and (4) pay any
transfer or similar tax, if required. To convert a Global Note, a Holder must comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at such time. 
  

	9.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

  
 The Notes are in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may
transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes in respect of which a Purchase Notice has been
given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Note to be purchased in part, the portion of the Note not to be purchased) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed. 
  

	10.	Persons Deemed Owners. 

  
 The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes. 
  

	11.	Unclaimed Money or Notes. 

  
 The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money, Notes or shares of Common Stock held by them for the payment
of any amount with respect to the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After such return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or Notes must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person. 
  

 A-7 

	12.	Amendment; Waiver. 

  
 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the
time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder, or to comply with any
requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA. 
  

	13.	Defaults and Remedies. 

  
 Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (1) the Company fails to pay when due the principal of any of the Notes at Stated Maturity, upon redemption
or exercise of a purchase right or otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Indenture; (2) the Company fails to pay an installment of interest (or Additional Interest Amounts, if any) on any of the Notes that
continues for 30 days after the date when due, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Indenture; provided that a failure to make any of the first six scheduled interest payments on the Notes on the applicable Interest Payment
Dates will constitute an Event of Default with no grace period or cure period; (3) the Company fails to deliver shares of Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, when such Common Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares is
required to be delivered upon conversion of a Note and such failure continues for 10 days after written notice of default is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holder of such Note; (4) the Company fails to
perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Notes or the Indenture for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the
Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (a “Notice of Default”); (5) (A) one or more defaults in the payment of principal of or premium, if any,
on any of the Company’s Indebtedness for borrowed money aggregating $5.0 million or more, when the same becomes due and payable at the scheduled maturity thereof, and such default or defaults shall have continued after any applicable grace
period and shall not have been cured or waived within a 30-day period after the date of a Notice of Default or (B) any of the Company’s Indebtedness for borrowed money aggregating $5.0 million or more shall have been accelerated or otherwise
declared due and payable, or required to be prepaid or purchased (other than by regularly scheduled required prepayment) prior to the scheduled maturity thereof and such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within a 30-day period after the date
of a Notice of Default; (6) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; (7) the Company’s filing of, or any Significant Subsidiaries’ filing of, a voluntary petition
seeking liquidation, reorganization arrangement, readjustment of debts or for any other relief under the federal bankruptcy code; and (8) the Pledge Agreement shall cease to be in full force and effect or enforceable prior to the expiration in
accordance with its terms. If an Event of Default (other 

  

 A-8 

 
than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of at least
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Notes becoming due and
payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 
  
 Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes, except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations,
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in
payment of amounts specified in clause (1) or (2) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests as provided in the Indenture. 
  

	14.	Subordination. 

  
 The payment of principal of, or Additional Interest Amounts, if any, and interest on the Notes will be subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in
the Indenture, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents (or otherwise to the extent Holders accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash or cash equivalents) of all Senior Indebtedness whether outstanding on
the date of the Indenture or thereafter incurred. 
  

	15.	Trustee Dealings with the Company. 

  
 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  

	16.	Security. 

  
 The Company has entered into the Pledge Agreement and purchased and pledged to the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders Pledged Securities in an amount sufficient upon receipt of scheduled
interest and principal payments on such securities to provide for the payment in full of the first six scheduled interest payments (up to and including the interest payments due on March 29, 2007), but no Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on the
Notes when due. The Pledged Securities will be pledged by the Company to the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders and will be held by the Trustee in the Pledged Account pending disbursement pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

 A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or
the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of
the Notes.

 [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE] 
  
 3 3/4% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2024 
  
 Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (the
“Indenture”) dated March 29, 2004 between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”) unless otherwise indicated. 
  

	1.	Cash Interest. 

  
 The Company promises to pay interest at the Interest Rate in cash on the principal amount of this Note. The Company will pay cash interest semiannually in
arrears on March 29 and September 29 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on September 29, 2004, to Holders of record at the close of business on the preceding March 15 and September 15 (whether or not a business day)
(each a “Regular Record Date”), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided or, if no interest has
been paid, from the Issue Date. Cash interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay cash interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest in cash on
overdue installments of cash interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. All such overdue cash interest shall be payable on demand. Upon conversion, accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or
forfeited. 
  

	2.	Method of Payment. 

  
 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make payments in respect of the principal of, and cash interest on this Note and in
respect of Redemption Prices, Purchase Prices and the Make-Whole Premium, if any, to Holders who surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Notes. 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. However, the Company may make such cash payments by check or wire transfer payable in such money. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Note is registered in
the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. Any payment required to be made on any day that is not a Business Day will be
made on the next succeeding Business Day. 
  

	3.	Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. 

  
 Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar without notice, other than notice to the Trustee except that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent in the State of New York, City of New York, The Borough of Manhattan, which shall initially be an office or
agency of the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. 
  

 B-3 

	4.	Indenture. 

  
 The Company issued the Notes under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from
time to time (the “TIA”). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. 
  
 The Notes are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company (except as provided in Paragraph 15 hereof)
limited to $95,000,000 aggregate principal amount (subject to Section 2.07 of the Indenture). The Indenture does not limit other Indebtedness of the Company, secured or unsecured. 
  

	5.	Optional Redemption. 

  
 This Note is not redeemable prior to March 29, 2007. On and after March 29, 2007, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole at any time or
in part from time to time, in cash, on any date prior to Stated Maturity, only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock has exceeded 150% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30-Trading Day period
ending on the Trading Day prior to the date of mailing of the notice of optional redemption pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Indenture. On and after March 29, 2011, the Company may at its option, redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, in cash. If the Company redeems the Notes at its option, the Notes will be redeemed, upon notice as set forth in Section 3.04 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount (the “Redemption
Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the Redemption Date. If a Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest
becoming due on such date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their terms, and the Redemption Price shall not include such interest
payment. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the particular Notes to be redeemed from the outstanding Notes by the methods as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or
portions of Notes called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest. 
  
 Notice of redemption will be given by the Company to the Holders as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. 
  

	6.	Purchase by the Company at Option of the Holder. 

  
 On March 29, 2011, March 29, 2014 and March 29, 2019 (each an “Optional Purchase Date”), Notes shall be purchased by the Company in cash at the
option of the Holders at the Optional Purchase Price, up to, but excluding, the Optional Purchase Date, subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of any Holder of the requirements set forth in subsection (c) of the Section 3.08 of the Indenture. If
the Optional Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to 

  

 B-4 

 
the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest becoming due on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Date according to their terms, and the Optional Purchase Price shall not include such interest payment. 
  
 Not less than 20 Business Days prior to an Optional Purchase Date (if any
Note is then outstanding), the Company will mail a written notice of the Optional Purchase Date to the Trustee and to each Holder (at its address shown in the register of the Registrar) and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law. To
exercise a purchase right, a Holder must deliver to the Trustee a Optional Purchase Notice as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 Holders have the right to withdraw any Optional Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture. 
  

	7.	Purchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder upon Change in Control. 

  

If there shall have occurred a Change in Control (subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture), each Holder, at such Holder’s
option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to purchase its Notes (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is at least $1,000 or any whole multiple thereof, provided that the
portion of the principal amount of this Note to be outstanding after such purchase is at least equal to $1,000) at the Change in Control Purchase Price in cash plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Change in Control Purchase
Date. 
  
 If there shall have occurred a Change in Control which
is also a Cash Buy-Out, and a Holder surrenders such their Notes for purchase, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company, equal to the Make-Whole Premium in addition to the Change in Control
Purchase Price. 
  
 A written notice of the Change in Control will
be given to the Holders as provided in the Indenture. To exercise a purchase right, a Holder must deliver to the Trustee a Change in Control Purchase Notice as provided in the Indenture. 
  
 Holders have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice
of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. 
  

	8.	Conversion. 

  
 Subject to the Article 10 of the Indenture, a Holder of a Note may convert such Note (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into Common Stock at any time prior to
the close of business on the last Business Day prior to March 29, 2024 or such earlier date set forth in the Indenture, at the Conversion Rate then in effect. If such Note is called for redemption, such conversion right shall terminate at the close
of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date for such Note (unless the Company shall default in making the redemption payment when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date
such default is cured and such Note is redeemed). Subject to certain conditions provided for in the Indenture, in certain 

  

 B-5 

 
circumstances, a Holder may receive an amount in cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company, equal to the Make-Whole Premium, in addition to the
shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of such Note. 
  
 The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note or portion thereof surrendered for conversion by $1,000, and then multiplying the quotient by the
Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date. The initial “Conversion Rate” is 62.5027 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes and is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. A Note in respect of
which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Note may be converted only if such Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Company
shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock. 
  
 To convert a Certificated Note, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice below (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of
such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee and (4) pay any
transfer or similar tax, if required. To convert a Global Note, a Holder must comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at such time. 
  

	9.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

  
 The Notes are in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may
transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes in respect of which a Purchase Notice has been
given and not withdrawn (except, in the case of a Note to be purchased in part, the portion of the Note not to be purchased) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed. 
  

	10.	Persons Deemed Owners. 

  
 The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of this Note for all purposes. 
  

	11.	Unclaimed Money or Notes. 

  
 The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money, Notes or shares of Common Stock held by them for the payment
of any amount with respect to the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After such return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or Notes must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person. 
  

 B-6 

	12.	Amendment; Waiver. 

  
 Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the
time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or
inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 of the Indenture, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder, or to comply with any
requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA. 
  

	13.	Defaults and Remedies. 

  
 Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (1) the Company fails to pay when due the principal of any of the Notes at Stated Maturity, upon redemption

continues for 30 days after the date when due, whether or not such payment is prohibited by Article 11 of the Indenture; provided that a failure to make any of the first six scheduled interest payments on the Notes on the applicable Interest Payment

on any of the Company’s Indebtedness for borrowed money aggregating $5.0 million or more, when the same becomes due and payable at the scheduled maturity thereof, and such default or defaults shall have continued after any applicable grace
period and shall not have been cured or waived within a 30-day period after the date of a Notice of Default or (B) any of the Company’s Indebtedness for borrowed money aggregating $5.0 million or more shall have been accelerated or otherwise

accordance with its terms. If an Event of Default (other 

  

 B-7 

 
than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of at least
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Notes becoming due and
payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 
  
 Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes, except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations,
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in
payment of amounts specified in clause (1) or (2) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests as provided in the Indenture. 
  

	14.	Subordination. 

  
 The payment of principal of, Additional Interest Amounts, if any, and interest on the Notes will be subordinated in right of payment, as set forth in the

date of the Indenture or thereafter incurred. 
  

	15.	Trustee Dealings with the Company. 

  
 Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  

	16.	Security. 

  
 The Company has entered into the Pledge Agreement and purchased and pledged to the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders Pledged Securities in an amount sufficient upon receipt of scheduled
interest and principal payments on such securities to provide for the payment in full of the first six scheduled interest payments (up to and including the interest payments due on March 29, 2007), but no Additional Interest Amounts, if any, on the
Notes when due. The Pledged Securities will be pledged by the Company to the Trustee for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders and will be held by the Trustee in the Pledged Account pending disbursement pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.
