Any additional Payment Priority New Money Notes or Payment Priority Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.03(D) shall have the same terms as the initial Payment Priority New Money Notes or Payment Priority Exchange Notes, respectively, issued under the first sentence of this Section 2.03(D), except, to the extent applicable, with respect to the date as of which interest begins to accrue on such additional Notes and the first Interest Payment Date and the Original Issue Date of such additional Notes, and such additional Payment Priority New Money Notes or Payment Priority Exchange Notes will be considered to be part of the same class of, and rank equally and ratably with all other, Payment Priority New Money Notes or Payment Priority Exchange Notes, respectively, issued under this Indenture; provided, however, that if any such additional Payment Priority New Money Notes or Payment Priority Exchange Notes are not fungible with other Payment Priority New Money Notes or Payment Priority Exchange Notes, respectively, issued under this Indenture for federal income tax or federal securities laws purposes, then such additional Payment Priority New Money Notes or Payment Priority Exchange Notes will be identified by a separate CUSIP number or by no CUSIP number. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain or confirm that any Subsequent Draw or Subsequent Exchange is in compliance with the terms of August 2024 Purchase Agreement, the August 2024 Exchange Agreement or any other document, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any terms thereof for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 2.04. METHODOF PAYMENT.

Section 2.05. BASISOF INTEREST; DEFAULTED AMOUNTS; WHEN PAYMENT DATEIS NOTA BUSINESS DAY; METHODOF PAYING INTEREST.

(A) Basis of Interest. Each Note will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Cash Interest Rate and/or the Blended Interest Rate, as applicable in accordance with the terms hereof, plus any Additional Interest and Special Interest that may accrue pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 7.03, respectively. Interest on each Note will be, subject to Section 4.02(D), 4.03(E) and 5.02(D) (but without duplication of any payment of interest), payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, to the Holder of such Note as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date. Interest including, if applicable, Additional Interest and Special Interest, on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(B) Defaulted Amounts. If the Company fails to pay any amount (a “Defaulted Amount”) payable on a Note on or before the due date therefor as provided in this Indenture, then, regardless of whether such failure constitutes an Event of Default, (i) such Defaulted Amount will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of such Note otherwise entitled to such payment; (ii) to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”) will accrue on such Defaulted Amount at a rate per annum equal to the Blended Interest Rate, from, and including, such due date to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest; (iii) such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest will be paid on a payment date selected by the Company to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on a special record date selected by the Company, provided that such special record date must be no more than fifteen (15), nor less than ten (10), calendar days before such payment date; and (iv) at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such special record date, the Company will send notice to the Trustee and the Holders that states such special record date, such payment date and the amount of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest to be paid on such payment date.

(C) Delay of Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day. If the due date for a payment on a Note as provided in this Indenture is not a Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, such payment may be made on the immediately following Business Day and no interest will accrue on such payment as a result of the related delay. Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a day on which the applicable place of payment is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed will be deemed not to be a “Business Day.”

- 33 -

(D) Method of Paying Interest.

(i) The Company may, at its option, elect to pay interest on each Note on any Interest Payment Date (i) by paying an amount in cash on such Interest Payment Date equal to all interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or if there is no immediately preceding Interest Payment Date, from, and including, the issue date of such Note or such other date from which such Note bears interest as stated on such Note) on the principal amount as of the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or if there is no immediately preceding Interest Payment Date, on the Initial Principal Amount), calculated at the Cash Interest Rate (the “Cash Method”) or, (ii) by paying the sum of (x) an amount in cash on such Interest Payment Date equal to a portion not less than 50% of interest accrued (such amount, the “Cash Portion”) plus (y) a number of shares of Common Stock, to be issued at a price equal to the Minimum Price, equal to the remaining interest not paid in cash under clause (x) (such amount, the “Stock Amount”), accrued, in each case of clauses (x) and (y) from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or if there is no immediately preceding Interest Payment Date, from, and including, the issue date of such Note or such other date from which such Note bears interest as stated on such Note) on the principal amount as of the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or if there is no immediately preceding Interest Payment Date, on the Initial Principal Amount), calculated at the Blended Interest Rate (the “Blended Method”); provided that, notwithstanding any election of the Blended Method, the Company may not pay interest using the Blended Method (and shall instead pay interest for such interest period using the Cash Method) if the simple average of the Daily VWAP for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date is less than the Minimum Price. In connection with any interest payments using the Blended Method, the Company shall provide notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Holders of such payment, specifying the amount of the Cash Portion and of the Stock Amount to be distributed to the Holders and including instructions in accordance Depositary Procedures (if applicable) for the receipt of such Stock Amount. If the Company has elected the Blended Method, then any Holder may, by notice (a “Blocker Notice”) to the Company (which Blocker Notice may be provided by electronic means in accordance with Depositary Procedures) at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, elect to receive the Stock Amount of such payment (i) using the Cash Method (including the Cash Interest Rate) to the extent such Holder notifies the Company that the receipt by such Holder of the Stock Amount would reasonably be expected to result in such Holder not being in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, or (ii) using the Capitalization Method. If the Company and a Holder have mutually agreed, or in the circumstances specified in the last sentence of this Section 2.05(D)(i), an entire interest payment shall be paid, by payment-in-kind, by increasing the principal amount of such Global Notes by the Capitalization Amount for such Interest Payment Date or, in the case of Physical Notes, by issuing PIK Notes in the amount of the Capitalization Amount thereon in the form of Physical Notes (the

- 34 -

“Capitalization Method”). On any Interest Payment Date on which the Company pays interest using the Blended Method or the Capitalization Method, the Stock Amount or the Capitalization Amount, as applicable, shall be rounded up to the nearest $1.00 or whole share of Common Stock; provided that for any Notes (1) surrendered for conversion after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (2) redeemed in connection with a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) repurchased on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or an Equity Raise Trigger Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, any Stock Amount or Capitalization Amount which would have been paid in the form of Common Stock or PIK Interest for such Notes on such corresponding Interest Payment Date shall instead be paid in cash at the Cash Interest Rate to the relevant Holder(s) of such Notes as of such Regular Record Date, and no such payment of the Stock Amount or PIK Payment on account of such Notes (notwithstanding any prior election (or deemed election) by the Company to pay such interest pursuant to the Blended Method, election of any Holder to receive the Capitalization Amount for such Notes, or agreement between the Company and any Holder for the Company to pay such interest pursuant to the Capitalization Method) shall be paid. The Company shall irrevocably (subject to this Section 2.05(D)(i), Section 5.02(D), Section 5.02(E) and subject to a Holder’s delivery of a Blocker Notice) elect the method of paying interest on an Interest Payment Date by delivering a notice to the Trustee and Holders on or prior to the 30th calendar day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date identifying the method selected and (a) the amount of cash interest to be paid and/or (b) the Stock Amount to be paid, as applicable. In the absence of such an election with respect to an Interest Payment Date, the Company shall be deemed to have elected the Cash Method for all of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date. All interest payable in respect of the Interest Payment Date scheduled to occur on the Maturity Date shall be paid entirely by the Cash Method. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, while any Priority Payment Notes are outstanding, interest on the Payment Junior Notes shall be paid entirely by the Capitalization Method (except for any interest payable solely in connection with an IP Sale Offer, an Asset Sale Offer, or a conversion, Redemption or Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change of such Payment Junior Notes in accordance with and to the extent permitted by this Indenture).

(ii) The Company shall make payments of interest by the Cash Method or any Cash Portion in accordance with Section 3.01 and, in the case of Defaulted Amounts, Section 2.05(B). The Company shall deliver shares of Common Stock in respect of any Stock Amount by the second (2^nd) Business Day immediately after the applicable Interest Payment Date (x) if the applicable Notes are represented by one or more Physical Notes, by issuing shares of Common Stock in certificated or book-entry form to the relevant record Holder on the relevant Interest Payment Date in a number equal to the Stock Amount divided by the Minimum Price (rounded up to the nearest whole share) and (y) if the applicable Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of, or held by, the Depositary or its nominee on the relevant Regular Record Date, by issuing shares of Common Stock in global form to the Depositary or its nominee on the relevant Regular Record Date in a number equal to the Stock Amount divided by the Minimum Price (rounded up to the nearest whole share). The Company shall make payments of

- 35 -

interest by the Capitalization Method, (x) if the Notes are represented by one or more Physical Notes, by issuing additional Physical Notes to the relevant record Holder on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “PIK Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the relevant amount of interest to be paid by the Capitalization Method (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) and the Trustee will, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes in the form of Physical Notes for original issuance to the Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date, as shown by the records of the Note Register and (y) if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of, or held by, the Depositary or its nominee on the relevant Regular Record Date, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Global Note by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded up to the nearest $1.00), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will increase the principal amount of the outstanding Global Note by such amount. The issuance of any PIK Notes to any Holder shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder. Any PIK Notes issued as Physical Notes shall be dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and shall bear interest from and after such date. All PIK Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment shall be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, this Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the Notes issued on the initial issue date of such Notes. Any PIK Notes shall be issued with the description “PIK Note” on the face of such Note. References in this Indenture and the Notes to the “principal amount” of the Notes shall include any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes as a result of any PIK Payment. The Payment Junior Notes issued on the initial issue date of such Notes, any increase in the balance of such Payment Junior Notes in connection with the payment of any PIK Interest and any PIK Notes in respect of such Payment Junior Note shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture and as a separate class from the Payment Priority New Money Notes and the Payment Priority Exchange Notes. The Payment Priority New Money Notes issued on the initial issue date of such Notes, any increase in the balance of such Payment Priority New Money Notes in connection with the payment of any PIK Interest and any PIK Notes in respect of such Payment Priority New Money Note shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, and as a separate class from the Payment Junior Notes and the Payment Priority Exchange Notes. The Payment Priority Exchange Notes issued on the initial issue date of such Notes, any increase in the balance of such Payment Priority Exchange Notes in connection with the payment of any PIK Interest and any PIK Notes in respect of such Payment Priority Exchange Note shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, and as a separate class from the Payment Junior Notes and the Payment Priority New Money Notes.

(iii) Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes as a result of a PIK Payment, the Global Notes shall bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment.

In connection with any interest payment described herein, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date, the Company shall the provide the Trustee and the Paying Agent with written instruction regarding the payment of interest on such Interest Payment Date (including, without limitation, specifying the amount to be paid to each Holder, the amount of interest to be paid-in-kind by an increase or issuance of Notes and the amount of interest deemed to be paid by the distribution of Common Stock).

- 36 -

In connection with such interest payment methods described herein, neither the Trustee nor any Note Agent has any duty or responsibility to make any determinations, including verifying the completeness, calculations or accuracy of information provided by the Company, or to facilitate the issuance of Common Stock. The Trustee and each Note Agent is fully protected in and can conclusively rely on any instructions or notices of the Company in relation thereto without investigation.

Section 2.06. REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENTAND CONVERSION AGENT.

(A) Generally. The Company will maintain (i) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”); (ii) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”); and (iii) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”). If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then the Trustee will act as such. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent without prior notice to Holders.

(B) Duties of the Registrar. The Registrar will keep a record (the “Register”) of the names and addresses of the Holders, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase, Redemption and conversion of Notes. Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Trustee may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly.

(C) Co-Agents; Company’s Right to Appoint Successor Registrars, Paying Agents and Conversion Agents. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars, co-Paying Agents and co-Conversion Agents, each of whom will be deemed to be a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, under this Indenture. Subject to Section 2.06(A), the Company may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (including appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act in such capacity) without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee (and, upon request, any Holder) of the name and address of each Note Agent, if any, not a party to this Indenture and will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with each such Note Agent, which agreement will implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Note Agent.

(D) Initial Appointments. The Company appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent, the initial Registrar and the initial Conversion Agent.

Section 2.07. PAYING AGENTAND CONVERSION AGENTTO HOLD PROPERTYIN TRUST.

The Company will require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that is not the Trustee to agree in writing that such Note Agent will (A) hold in trust for the benefit of Secured Parties all money and other property held by such Note Agent for payment or delivery due on the Notes; and (B) notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery.

- 37 -

The Company, at any time, may, and the Trustee, while any Default continues, may, require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to pay or deliver, as applicable, all money and other property held by it to the Trustee, after which payment or delivery, as applicable, such Note Agent (if not the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for such money or property. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then (A) it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Secured Parties all money and other property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent; and (B) references in this Indenture or the Notes to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent holding cash or other property, or to the delivery of cash or other property to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, in each case for payment or delivery to any Holders or the Trustee or with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to refer to cash or other property so segregated and held separately, or to the segregation and separate holding of such cash or other property, respectively. Upon the occurrence of any event pursuant to clause (ix) or (x) of Section 7.01(A) with respect to the Company (or with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company acting as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent), the Trustee will serve as the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, for the Notes.

Section 2.08. HOLDER LISTS.

If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee, no later than seven (7) Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request, a list, in such form and as of such date or time as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders.

Section 2.09. LEGENDS.

(A) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note will bear the Global Note Legend (or any similar legend, not inconsistent with this Indenture, required by the Depositary for such Global Note).

(B) Non-Affiliate Legend. Each Note that is not an Affiliate Note will bear the Non-Affiliate Legend.

(i) each Note that is a Transfer-Restricted Security will bear the Restricted Note Legend; and

(ii) if a Note is issued in exchange for, in substitution of, or to effect a partial conversion of, another Note (such other Note being referred to as the “old Note” for purposes of this Section 2.09(C)(ii)), including pursuant to Section 2.10(B), 2.10(C), 2.11 or 2.13, then such Note will bear the Restricted Note Legend if such old Note bore the Restricted Note Legend at the time of such exchange or substitution, or on the related Conversion Date with respect to such conversion, as applicable; provided, however, that such Note need not bear the Restricted Note Legend if such Note does not constitute a Transfer-Restricted Security immediately after such exchange or substitution, or as of such Conversion Date, as applicable.

- 38 -

For the avoidance of doubt, the Exchange Notes (other than any Affiliate Notes) shall not bear the Restricted Note Legend and the New Money Notes shall bear the Restricted Note Legend until such New Money Notes cease to be Transfer-Restricted Securities.

(D) Other Legends. A Note may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as may be required by applicable law or by any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Note is traded or quoted.

(E) Acknowledgment and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Note bearing any legend required by this Section 2.09 will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgment of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.

(F) Restricted Stock Legend.

(i) Each Conversion Share will bear the Restricted Stock Legend if the Note upon the conversion of which such Conversion Share was issued was (or would have been had it not been converted) a Transfer-Restricted Security at the time such Conversion Share was issued; provided, however, that such Conversion Share need not bear the Restricted Stock Legend if the Company determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Conversion Share need not bear the Restricted Stock Legend.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.09(F), a Conversion Share need not bear a Restricted Stock Legend if such Conversion Share is issued in an uncertificated form that does not permit affixing legends thereto, provided the Company takes measures (including the assignment thereto of a “restricted” CUSIP number) that it reasonably deems appropriate to enforce the transfer restrictions referred to in the Restricted Stock Legend.

(G) Payment Priority Note. Each Note that is a Payment Priority New Money Note or Payment Priority Exchange Note will bear a notation to that effect.

Section 2.10. TRANSFERSAND EXCHANGES; CERTAIN TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

(A) Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.

(i) Subject to this Section 2.10, Physical Notes and beneficial interests in Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time and the Registrar will record each such transfer or exchange in the Register.

(ii) Each Note issued upon transfer or exchange of any other Note (such other Note being referred to as the “old Note” for purposes of this Section 2.10(A)(ii)) or portion thereof in accordance with this Indenture will be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as such old Note or portion thereof, as applicable.

(iii) The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Note Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, but the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.17 or 8.05 not involving any transfer.

- 39 -

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, a Note may not be transferred or exchanged in part unless the portion to be so transferred or exchanged is in an Authorized Denomination.

(v) Neither the Trustee nor any Note Agent will have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any transfer restrictions imposed under this Indenture or applicable law with respect to any Security, other than to require the delivery of such certificates or other documentation or evidence as expressly required by this Indenture to be delivered to it and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the requirements of this Indenture.

(vi) Each Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another Note will bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.

(vii) Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Note, the Company will cause such transfer or exchange to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the date of such satisfaction.

(viii) For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to the terms of this Indenture, as used in this Section 2.10, an “exchange” of a Global Note or a Physical Note includes (x) an exchange effected for the sole purpose of removing any Restricted Note Legend affixed to such Global Note or Physical Note; and (y) if such Global Note or Physical Note is identified by a “restricted” CUSIP number, an exchange effected for the sole purpose of causing such Global Note or Physical Note to be identified by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number.

(ix) For the avoidance of doubt (i) each Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, a Payment Priority New Money Note will be a Payment Priority New Money Note, (ii) each Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, a Payment Priority Exchange Note will be a Payment Priority Exchange Note, and (iii) each Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, a Payment Junior Note will be a Payment Junior Note (except in the case of Payment Junior Notes exchanged for Payment Priority Exchange Notes pursuant to the 2024 Exchange Agreement).

No Global Note (or any portion thereof) may be transferred to, or exchanged for, a Physical Note; provided, however, that a Global Note will be exchanged, pursuant to customary procedures, for one or more Physical Notes if:

(1) (x) the Depositary notifies the Company or the Trustee that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (y) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act and, in each case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within ninety (90) days of such notice or cessation;

(2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar has received a written request from the Depositary, or from a holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, to exchange such Global Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, for one or more Physical Notes; or

(ii) Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Global Note (or any portion thereof):

(1) the Trustee will reflect any resulting decrease of the principal amount of such Global Note by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of such Global Note (and, if such notation results in such Global Note having a principal amount of zero, the Company may (but is not required to) instruct the Trustee to cancel such Global Note pursuant to Section 2.15);

(2) if required to effect such transfer or exchange, then the Trustee will reflect any resulting increase of the principal amount of any other Global Note by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of such other Global Note;

(3) if required to effect such transfer or exchange, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Global Note bearing each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09; and

(4) if such Global Note (or such portion thereof), or any beneficial interest therein, is to be exchanged for one or more Physical Notes, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note to be so exchanged; (y) are registered in such name(s) as the Depositary specifies (or as otherwise determined pursuant to customary procedures); and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.

(iii) Each transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in any Global Note will be made in accordance with the Depositary Procedures.

- 41 -

(i) Subject to this Section 2.10, a Holder of a Physical Note may (x) transfer such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) to one or more other Person(s); (y) exchange such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) for one or more other Physical Notes in Authorized Denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Physical Note (or portion thereof) to be so exchanged; and (z) if then permitted by the Depositary Procedures, and provided such Physical Note is not an Affiliate Note, transfer such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) in exchange for a beneficial interest in one or more Global Notes; provided, however, that, to effect any such transfer or exchange, such Holder must:

(1) surrender such Physical Note to be transferred or exchanged to the office of the Registrar, together with any endorsements or transfer instruments reasonably required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar; and

(2) deliver such certificates, documentation or evidence as may be required pursuant to Section 2.10(D).

(ii) Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Physical Note (such Physical Note being referred to as the “old Physical Note” for purposes of this Section 2.10(C)(ii)) of a Holder (or any portion of such old Physical Note in an Authorized Denomination):

(1) such old Physical Note will be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 2.15;

(2) if such old Physical Note is to be so transferred or exchanged only in part, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such old Physical Note not to be so transferred or exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09;

(3) in the case of a transfer:

(a) to the Depositary or a nominee thereof that will hold its interest in such old Physical Note (or such portion thereof) to be so transferred in the form of one or more Global Notes, the Trustee will reflect an increase of the principal amount of one or more existing Global Notes by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of such Global Note(s), which increase(s) are in Authorized Denominations and aggregate to the principal amount to be so transferred, and which Global Note(s) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09; provided, however, that if such transfer cannot be so effected by notation on one or more existing Global Notes (whether because no Global Notes bearing each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09 then exist,

- 42 -

because any such increase will result in any Global Note having an aggregate principal amount exceeding the maximum aggregate principal amount permitted by the Depositary or otherwise), then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Global Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so transferred; and (y) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09; and

(b) to a transferee that will hold its interest in such old Physical Note (or such portion thereof) to be so transferred in the form of one or more Physical Notes, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so transferred; (y) are registered in the name of such transferee; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09; and

(i) cause such Note to be identified by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number;

(ii) remove such Restricted Note Legend; or

(iii) register the transfer of such Note to the name of another Person,

then the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar may refuse to effect such identification, removal or transfer, as applicable, unless there is delivered to the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar such certificates or other documentation or evidence as the Company and the Guarantors may reasonably require to determine that such identification, removal or transfer, as applicable, complies with the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws; provided, however, that no such certificates, documentation or evidence need be so delivered on and after the Free Trade Date with respect to such Note unless the Company determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Note is not eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, availability of current public information or notice under the Securities Act.

(B) Cancellation of Notes that Are Converted and Notes that Are Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, Repurchase Upon Equity Raise Trigger or Redemption.

(i) Physical Notes. If a Physical Note (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been exchanged pursuant to Section 2.11(A)) of a Holder is to be converted pursuant to Article 5 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, Repurchase Upon Equity Raise Trigger or Redemption, then, promptly after the later of the time such Physical Note (or such portion) is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.18 and the time such Physical Note is surrendered for such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, (1) such Physical Note will be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.15; and (2) in the case of a partial conversion or repurchase, as applicable, the Company will issue, execute and deliver to such Holder, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Physical Note that is not to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.

Section 2.12. REMOVALOF TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Indenture (including Section 3.04), the Restricted Note Legend affixed to any Note (including any New Money Note) will be deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.12 and the footnote to such Restricted Note Legend, to be removed therefrom upon the Company’s delivery to the Trustee of notice, signed on behalf of the Company by one (1) of its Officers, to such effect (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such notice need not be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in order to be effective to cause such Restricted Note Legend to be deemed to be removed from such Note). If such Note bears a “restricted” CUSIP or ISIN number at the time of such delivery, then, upon such delivery, such Note will be deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.12 and the footnotes to the CUSIP and ISIN numbers set forth on the face of the certificate representing such Note, to thereafter bear the “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers identified in such footnotes; provided, however, that if such Note is a Global Note and the Depositary thereof requires a mandatory exchange or other procedure to cause such Global Note to be identified by “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers in the facilities of such Depositary, then (i) the Company will effect such exchange or procedure as soon as reasonably practicable; and (ii) for purposes of Section 3.04 and the definition of Freely Tradable, such Global Note will not be deemed to be identified by “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers until such time as such exchange or procedure is effected.

Section 2.13. REPLACEMENT NOTES.

If a Holder of any Note claims that such Note has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a replacement Note upon surrender to the Trustee of such mutilated Note, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. In the case of a mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note, the Company and the Trustee may require the Holder thereof to provide such security or indemnity that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company and the Trustee from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced.

- 45 -

Section 2.14. REGISTERED HOLDERS; CERTAIN RIGHTSWITH RESPECTTO GLOBAL NOTES.

Only the Holder of a Note will have rights under this Indenture as the owner of such Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Depositary Participants will have no rights as such under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or its nominee, or by the Trustee as its custodian, and the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Note Agents, and their respective agents, may treat the Depositary as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever; provided, however, that (A) the Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Depositary Participants and Persons that hold interests in Notes through Depositary Participants, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take with respect to such Global Note under this Indenture or the Notes; and (B) the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and their respective agents, may give effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary. Neither the Trustee nor any other Note Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records maintained by, or any other actions or omissions of, the Depositary or any of the Depositary Participants.

The Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not originally issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been cancelled upon transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancelation of Notes shall be effectuated in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures.

Section 2.16. NOTES HELDBYTHE COMPANYORITS SUBSIDIARIES.

Without limiting the generality of Sections 3.08 and 2.18, in determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or other action under this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be deemed not to be outstanding; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying on any such direction, waiver, consent or other action, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.17. TEMPORARY NOTES.

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, temporary Notes.

The Company will promptly prepare, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any requirement for the Trustee or any Note Agent to record any transfer, exchange or conversion through a notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note”, such notation shall be deemed made for all purposes without any further action upon the Trustee or the Registrar updating the Register to reflect any applicable increase or decrease in the applicable Global Note.

(B) Replaced Notes. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its replacement, unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such Note is held by a “bona fide purchaser” under applicable law.

If, on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, an Equity Raise Trigger Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Equity Raise Trigger Repurchase Price or principal amount, respectively, together, in each case, with the aggregate interest, in each case due on such date, then (unless there occurs a Default in the payment of any such amount) (i) the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or repurchased, or that mature, on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Section 4.02(D), 4.03(E) or 5.02(D); and (ii) the rights of the Holders of such Notes (or such portions thereof), as such, will terminate with respect to such Notes (or such portions thereof), other than the right to receive the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Equity Raise Trigger Repurchase Price or principal amount, as applicable, of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes (or such portions thereof), in each case as provided in this Indenture.

(D) Notes to Be Converted. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for any Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note (or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration or interest due, pursuant to Section 5.03(A) or Section 5.02(D), upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Section 5.02(D) or Section 5.08.

(E) Cessation of Accrual of Interest. Except as provided in Section 4.02(D), 4.03(E) or 5.02(D), interest will cease to accrue on each Note from, and including, the date that such Note is deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.18, to cease to be outstanding, unless there occurs a default in the payment or delivery of any cash or other property due on such Note.

Section 2.19. REPURCHASESBYTHE COMPANY.

Without limiting the generality of Sections 2.15 and 3.08, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase Notes in open market purchases or in negotiated transactions or otherwise, whether through private or public tender or exchange offers, cash-settled swaps, other cash-settled derivatives or private open market repurchases not involving a tender offer with one or more Holders without delivering prior notice to Holders.

Section 2.20. CUSIPAND ISIN NUMBERS.

Subject to Section 2.12, the Company may use one or more CUSIP or ISIN numbers to identify any of the Notes, and, if so, the Company and the Trustee will use such CUSIP or ISIN number(s) in notices to Holders; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee makes no representation as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP or ISIN number; and (ii) the effectiveness of any such notice will not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, any such CUSIP or ISIN number. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN number(s) identifying any Notes.

Section 2.21. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP LIMITATION.

Subject to the final sentence of this Section 2.21, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Notes or issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of the Blended Method, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Notes pursuant to Article V, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion or such payment, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such payment and conversion of the Notes with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of these Notes beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2.21, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with

- 48 -

Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To avoid doubt, the calculation of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall take into account the concurrent exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) beneficially owned by the Holder or any Attribution Party, as applicable. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.21 applies, the determination of whether the Notes are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the Notes are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether the Notes are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the Notes are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination (including any determination as to group status pursuant to the next sentence). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.21, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any payment in the form of Common Stock by the Blended Method and the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be, (i) with respect to all Holders other than the Permitted Parties, 9.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such payment and the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and (ii) with respect to the Permitted Parties, 49.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such payment and the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. A Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.21, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event (i) in the case of Holders other than the Permitted Parties, is lower than 9.9% or exceeds 19.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such payment and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall continue to apply and (ii) in the case of the Permitted Parties, is lower than 9.9% or exceeds 49.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such payment and conversion of the Notes held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until

- 49 -

the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.21 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of the Notes. Solely for the purpose of this Section 2.21, in the case of Global Notes, “Holder” shall mean a person that holds a beneficial interest in the Notes and not the Depository Trust Company or its nominee. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.21 to the contrary, to the extent that the receipt of shares of Common Stock for any reason pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (whether upon conversion or otherwise) is or would be limited due to the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Company shall, at the Holder’s request, (x) allow such conversion, to the extent otherwise conversion would otherwise be limited, (y) issue any such shares of Common Stock the receipt of which is otherwise limited due to the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as pre-funded warrants in the form attached as Exhibit D to this Indenture and (z) to the extent that a Holder is an Affiliate of the Company, the Company and the Board of Directors shall take all actions necessary to ensure that any issuance of pre-funded warrants pursuant to this Section 2.21 is exempt from the application of Section 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder (to the extent such rule is applicable).

(C) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described above, the Company will be permitted to classify all or a

- 55 -

portion of such item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock (based on circumstances existing on the date of reclassification), in any manner that complies with this covenant. The accrual of interest, the accrual of dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of interest in the form of additional shares of preferred Capital Stock or Disqualified Stock, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant.

(E) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may incur pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

No Material Intellectual Property or exclusive license in any Material Intellectual Property shall be permitted to be transferred by the Company or any of the Guarantors to, or held by, any Affiliate or Subsidiary which is not a Guarantor or, without the consent of the Required Holders, any other Person, whether by transfer or disposition, other than non-exclusive licenses in the ordinary course of business.

(B) Within ten Business Days after the receipt of any IP Monetization Proceeds (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Excluded Proceeds), the Company will make an offer (each, an “IP Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes, to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased in accordance with the chart set forth below (the “IP Offer Amount”). The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be an amount in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount purchased, prepaid or redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount to the date of purchase, unless such date of purchase falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of any accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date and the offer price in such IP Sale

- 59 -

Offer shall be an amount in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount purchased, prepaid or redeemed. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with such IP Sale Offer exceeds the IP Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes to be purchased, prepaid or redeemed (i) first from the Payment Priority Notes tendered, on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to maintain the authorized minimum denomination of the Notes), based on the amounts of Payment Priority Notes tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed and (ii) second from the Payment Junior Notes tendered, on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to maintain the authorized minimum denomination of the Notes), based on the amounts of Payment Junior Notes tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed. For the avoidance of doubt, upon receipt of any IP Monetization Proceeds, the applicable IP Offer Amount set forth in the table below shall apply to all IP Monetization Proceeds measured in the aggregate since the Issue Date, it being understood that the foregoing shall require the Company, if applicable, to provide in certain cases of an IP Sale Offer an IP Offer Amount in excess of the immediately applicable amount set forth in the table below, such that the IP Offer Amount, in the aggregate since the Issue Date, shall conform to the requirements of the table below in respect of the aggregate amount of IP Monetization Proceeds since the Issue Date.

(C) Within ten Business Days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds (other than IP Monetization Proceeds or Excluded Proceeds), the Company will make an offer (each, an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes, to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes after deducting from such Net Proceeds all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection with such purchase, prepayment or redemption (the “Offer Amount”). The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be an amount in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount purchased, prepaid or redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount to the date of purchase, unless such date of purchase falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of any accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date and the offer price in such Asset Sale Offer shall be an amount in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount purchased, prepaid or redeemed. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes to be

- 60 -

purchased, prepaid or redeemed (i) first from the Payment Priority Notes tendered, on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to maintain the authorized minimum denomination of the Notes), based on the amounts of Payment Priority Notes tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed and (ii) second from the Payment Junior Notes tendered on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to maintain the authorized minimum denomination of the Notes), based on the amounts of Payment Junior Notes tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed.

(D) To the extent applicable, the Company will comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or IP Sale Offer (including complying with Rules 13e-4 and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and filing any required Schedule TO, to the extent applicable) so as to permit effecting such Asset Sale Offer or IP Sale Offer in the manner set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable federal or state securities laws conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.12, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.12 by virtue of such compliance.

(E) The Section 3.12 will cease to apply from and after the date, if at all, on which the Company exercises its Covenant Defeasance right pursuant to Section 9.04.

(viii) purchases or sales of goods or services with customers, suppliers, sales agents or sellers of goods and services in the ordinary course of business on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained at the time in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Subsidiary with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company;

(ix) if such Affiliate Transaction is with an Affiliate in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, a transaction in which such Affiliate is treated no more favorably than the other non-Affiliated holders of Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary;

(x) transactions in the ordinary course of business between the Company or a Subsidiary with any joint venture; provided that all the outstanding ownership interests of such joint venture are owned only by the Company, its Subsidiaries and Persons that are not Affiliates of the Company (other than by virtue of such joint venture arrangement);

(xi) any Investment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date, and any extension, modification or renewal of such existing Investments, to the extent not involving any additional Investment other than as the result of the accrual or accretion of interest or original issue discount or the issuance of pay-in-kind securities, in each case, pursuant to the terms of such Investments as in effect on the Issue Date;

- 62 -

(xii) the formation and maintenance of any consolidated group or subgroup for tax, accounting or cash pooling or management purposes in the ordinary course of business or transactions undertaken in good faith for the purpose of improving the consolidated tax efficiency of the Company or any of their Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any provision of this Indenture;

(A) The Holders shall support (and direct the Trustee to support), and not object, to a DIP Facility containing the provisions set forth herein and such other terms agreed by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Payment Priority New Money Notes (the “Required New Money Creditors”); provided, such DIP Facility shall rank senior to or pari passu with the Liens on any Collateral granted to secure the Obligations hereunder, and the Holders of Payment Junior Notes (“Non-Participating DIP Holders”) hereunder shall subordinate their Liens on the DIP Collateral to the same extent as the Required New Money Creditors but otherwise retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Collateral pledged under the DIP Facility, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement off such proceeding, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the bankruptcy case.

(B) Participation in the DIP Facility shall be offered on a pro rata basis to each Holder with Payment Priority New Money Notes; provided, that if any portion of the DIP Facility is being provided by a party that is not a Holder, each Holder of Payment Priority New Money Notes shall be offered a pro rata portion of the remainder of such DIP Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, no Holder that does not hold Payment Priority New Money Notes may offer any debtor-in-possession financing to the Company that is not consented to by the Required New Money Creditors.

(C) In addition to the new money notes or loans provided under the DIP Facility, if any, the DIP Facility will include a roll-up of the Payment Priority Notes held by holders of Payment Priority New Money Notes providing such DIP Facility.

(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.17 or in any Notes Document, no Holder may object to the DIP Facility on the basis of the “roll-up” described in paragraph C.

Upon receipt of any such withdrawal notice with respect to a Note (or any portion thereof), the Paying Agent will (x) promptly deliver a copy of such withdrawal notice to the Company; and (y) if such Note is surrendered to the Paying Agent, the Company shall cause such Note (or such portion thereof in accordance with Section 2.11, treating such Note as having been then surrendered for partial repurchase in the amount set forth in such withdrawal notice as remaining subject to repurchase) to be returned to the Holder thereof (or, if applicable with respect to any Global Note, cancel any instructions for book-entry transfer to the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent of the applicable beneficial interest in such Note in accordance with the Depositary Procedures).

(C) Holder of Record of Conversion Shares. The Person in whose name any share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of any Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.

(D) Interest Payable upon Conversion in Certain Circumstances. If the Conversion Date of a Note is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date) in cash at the Cash Interest Rate.

(F) Taxes and Duties. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue or delivery of any shares of Common Stock upon such conversion; provided, however, that if any tax or duty is due because such Holder requested such shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name, then such Holder will pay such tax or duty and, until having received a sum sufficient to pay such tax or duty, the Company may refuse to deliver any such shares to be issued in a name other than that of such Holder.

The Conversion Agent shall have no other duties or obligations with respect to the conversion of such Physical Note.

- 76 -

Section 5.03. SETTLEMENT UPON CONVERSION.

(A) Conversion Consideration.

(i) Generally. Subject to Section 5.03(A)(ii) and Section 5.03(A)(iv), the type and amount of consideration (the “Conversion Consideration”) due in respect of each $1,000 Capitalized Principal Amount of a Note to be converted will be:

(1) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate for such conversion; plus

(2) the Applicable Premium or, if applicable, the Strategic Make-Whole (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Holders shall not be entitled to receive both the Applicable Premium and Strategic Make-Whole with respect to any conversion);

(ii) Settlement of Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole. Upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall satisfy its obligation to pay the Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole, as applicable, by paying or delivering, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 Capitalized Principal Amount of Notes being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 5.03. If the Company elects a settlement method with respect to the Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole other than Physical Settlement or the method specified in the most recent Settlement Notice, the Company shall deliver a written notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the Settlement Method so elected in respect of Conversion Dates occurring on or after the twelfth Business Day following the date of such Settlement Notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee)). Any Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the proportion of cash and shares of Common Stock to be delivered. In the event that the Company settles the Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole for any conversion by Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement, then the number of shares of Common Stock delivered shall be an amount equal to the amount of the Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole or portion thereof to be settled in shares of Common Stock divided by the Applicable Share Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may not elect Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement with respect to any conversion (and shall be deemed to have elected Physical Settlement) to the extent that the cash payment therein would reduce the Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole otherwise payable in respect of such conversion pursuant to the proviso contained in Section 5.03(A)(i), but an election for Physical Settlement would not result in such a reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while any Priority Payment Notes are outstanding, the Company may not elect Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement with respect to or in connection with the conversion of any Payment Junior Notes.

- 77 -

(iii) Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. If the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to Section 5.03(A)(i) or (ii) upon conversion of any Note is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company will deliver, in addition to the other consideration due upon such conversion, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (1) such fraction and (2) the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).

(iv) Conversion of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder. If a Holder converts more than one (1) Note on a single Conversion Date, then the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will (in the case of any Global Note, to the extent permitted by, and practicable under, the Depositary Procedures) be computed based on the total Capitalized Principal Amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date by such Holder.

(v) Calculations for Principal Amounts Less than $1,000. For any calculation of the Conversion Rate or Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole with respect to less than $1,000 Capitalized Principal Amount of Notes, the Conversion Rate and Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole shall be appropriately adjusted.

(B) Delivery of the Conversion Consideration. Except as set forth in Section 5.05(D), the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of any Note to the Holder on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion; provided, however, that if a Note is converted with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date occurring immediately before the Maturity Date, then, solely for purposes of such conversion, (x) the Company will pay or deliver, on the Maturity Date (or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion; and (y) the Conversion Date will instead be deemed to be the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the Maturity Date.

(C) Deemed Payment of Principal and Interest; Settlement of Accrued Interest Notwithstanding Conversion. If a Holder converts a Note, then the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), and without limiting the Company’s obligation to pay the Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole, as applicable, in connection with the conversion of any Note, the Company’s delivery of the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will be deemed to fully satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding the Conversion Date. As a result, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), any accrued and unpaid interest on a converted Note will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

- 78 -

(D) Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole.

(i) The Applicable Premium will be payable in accordance with Section 5.03(A)(ii) for all conversions of Notes other than if such conversion is in connection with a Strategic Redemption Event, where the Strategic Make-Whole will be payable in accordance with Section 5.03(A)(ii).

(ii) A conversion of the Notes by a Holder shall be deemed for purposes of this 5.03(D) to be “in connection with” a Strategic Redemption Event only if the Conversion Date occurs on or following the Redemption Notice Date of the Strategic Redemption Event but before the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date.

(iii) The Notes shall not be entitled to receive both the Strategic Make-Whole and the Applicable Premium in connection with any conversion. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if a conversion is “in connection with” a Strategic Redemption Event, such Holder shall receive the Strategic Make-Whole and not the Applicable Premium.

Section 5.04. RESERVEAND STATUSOF COMMON STOCK ISSUED UPON CONVERSION.

(A) Stock Reserve. At all times when any Notes are outstanding, the Company will reserve (out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes) a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the conversion of all then-outstanding Notes assuming the maximum Strategic Make-Whole or Applicable Premium in effect from time to time, and the Minimum Price.

(B) Status of Conversion Shares; Listing. Each Conversion Share delivered upon conversion of any Note will be a newly issued or treasury share (except that any Conversion Share delivered by a designated financial institution pursuant to Section 5.08 need not be a newly issued or treasury share) and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder of such Note or the Person to whom such Conversion Share will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Conversion Share, when delivered upon conversion of any Note, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.

Section 5.05. ADJUSTMENTSTOTHE CONVERSION RATE.

(A) Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(i) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock

- 79 -

Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

LOGO

where:


CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(i) will become effective as set forth the definition of CR₁ in this Section 5.05(A)(i). If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 5.05(A)(i) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

(ii) Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Sections 5.05(A)(iii)(1) and 5.05(F) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO

- 80 -

where:


CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y	=	a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.

For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(ii) will become effective set forth in the definition of CR₁ in this Section 5.05(A)(ii). To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.

For purposes of this Section 5.05(A)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

- 81 -

(iii) Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.

(1) Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidence of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:

(u) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5.05(C)) pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(i) or 5.05(A)(ii);

(v) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5.05(C)) pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iv);

(w) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 5.05(F);

(x) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required (or would be required without regard to Section 5.05(C)) pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2);

(y) a distribution solely pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, as to which Section 5.05(A)(v) will apply; and

(z) a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply,

then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO


where:

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and

FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidence of indebtedness, assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;

- 82 -

provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidence of indebtedness, assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1) will become effective as set forth in the definition of CR₁ in this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1). To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(2) Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to (x) a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply; or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, as to which Section 5.05(A)(v) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO


where:

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period;

- 83 -



FMV	=	the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off (such average to be determined as if references to Common Stock in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and

SP	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2), if the Conversion Date for a Note occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such Conversion Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2) will become effective as set forth in the definition of CR₁ in this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2). To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(iv) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO


where:

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP	=	the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and

D	=	the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution;

- 84 -

provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(iv) will become effective as set forth in the definition of CR₁ in this Section 5.05(A)(iv). To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(v) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

LOGO


where:

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period;

AC	=	the aggregate value (determined as of the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires by the Board of Directors) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

- 85 -



OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(v), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(v) will become effective as set forth in the definition of CR₁ in this Section 5.05(A)(v). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05(A)(v), if the Conversion Date for a Note occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date to, and including, such Conversion Date.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

(vi) Adjustments to Applicable Share Price. The Applicable Share Price for purposes of calculating any amounts payable pursuant to the Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole shall be appropriately adjusted in respect of any of the events referred to in this Article V to the extent necessary to effect and protect the intended economic benefits thereof.

(B) No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(i) Where Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.05(A), the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.05(A) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 5.05(A)(i) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 5.05(A)(v)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of Notes, in such transaction or event without having to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date; and (ii) the aggregate principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder on such date.

- 86 -

(ii) Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 5.05. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:

(1) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.05, the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;

(2) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;

(3) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(4) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Issue Date;

(5) for a third party tender offer by any party other than a tender offer by the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries described in Section 5.05(A)(v);

(6) on account of share repurchases, including structured or derivative transactions, or transactions pursuant to a share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors, or otherwise, in each case that are not tender offers of the type described in Section 5.05(A)(v);

(7) solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(8) accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes.

(C) Adjustment Deferral. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Article 5 would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, the Company may, at its election, defer such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate; (ii) the Conversion Date of any Note; (iii) the date a Fundamental Change occurs; (iv) the date an Equity Raise Trigger occurs; (v) the date the Company calls any Notes for Redemption; and (vi) December 19, 2028.

- 87 -

(D) Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:

(i) a Note is to be converted;

(ii) the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;

(iii) the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and

(iv) such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),

then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date, and such delay will not be a Default under this Indenture or the Notes.

(E) Conversion Rate Adjustments where Converting Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:

(i) a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 5.05(A);

(ii) a Note is to be converted;

(iii) the Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;

(iv) the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and

(v) such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 5.02(C)),

then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion; (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (z) there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

- 88 -

(F) Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Indenture upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless, prior to the applicable Conversion Date, such rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to potential readjustment in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1). For the avoidance of doubt, in all other cases, the issuance of rights pursuant to a stockholder rights plan will not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1).

(G) Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A) to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

(H) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

(I) Calculation of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 5.05(A), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (ii) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).

(J) Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

(K) Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.

- 89 -

Section 5.06. VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENTS.

(A) Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is either (x) in the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event; (ii) such increase is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (iii) such increase is irrevocable during such period.

(B) Notice of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.06(A), then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in Section 5.06(A), the Company will send notice to each Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.

Section 5.07. REQUISITE STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or otherwise issuable in respect of the Conversion Cap Notes shall not exceed the Conversion Share Cap unless the Company shall have obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

Section 5.08. EXCHANGEIN LIEUOF CONVERSION.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, and subject to the terms of this Section 5.08, if a Note is submitted for conversion, the Company may elect to arrange to have such Note exchanged in lieu of conversion by a financial institution designated by the Company. To make such election, the Company must send notice of such election to the Holder of such Note, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date for such Note. If the Company has made such election, then:

(A) no later than the Business Day immediately following such Conversion Date, the Company must deliver (or cause the Conversion Agent to deliver) such Note, together with delivery instructions for the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion (including wire instructions, if applicable), to a financial institution designated by the Company that has agreed to deliver such Conversion Consideration in the manner and at the time the Company would have had to deliver the same pursuant to this Article 5;

(B) if such Note is a Global Note, then (i) such designated institution will send written confirmation to the Company, the Conversion Agent and the holder of the beneficial interest in the Note promptly after wiring the cash Conversion Consideration, if any, and delivering any other Conversion Consideration, due upon such conversion to holder of the beneficial interest in such Note; and (ii) the Conversion Agent will as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter contact the custodian with the Depositary of such holder of the beneficial interest in such Note to confirm receipt of the same; and

- 90 -

provided, however, that if such financial institution does not accept such Note or fails to timely deliver such Conversion Consideration, then the Company will be responsible for delivering such Conversion Consideration in the manner and at the time provided in this Article 5 as if the Company had not elected to make an exchange in lieu of conversion.

Section 5.09. EFFECTOF COMMON STOCK CHANGE EVENT.

(A) Generally. If there occurs any:

(i) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);

(ii) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;

(iii) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

(iv) other similar event,

and, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes,

(1) from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (I) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Article 5 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (II) for purposes of Section 4.03, each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (III) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change” references to “Common Stock” and the Company’s “common equity” will be deemed to refer to the common equity (including depositary receipts representing common equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property; and

- 91 -

(2) for these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

At or before the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(F), which supplemental indenture will (x) provide for subsequent conversions of Notes in the manner set forth in this Section 5.09; (y) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) in a manner consistent with this Section 5.09; and (z) contain such other provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 5.09(A). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets (other than cash) of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental indenture and such supplemental indenture will contain such additional provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall not be liable for or otherwise responsible for the amendments effected pursuant to such supplemental indenture.

(B) Notice of Common Stock Change Events. The Company will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent no later than the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event.

(C) Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.09.

Section 5.10. TRUSTEEANDTHE NOTE AGENTS.

(A) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon delivery of the Conversion Consideration to a Holder, in connection therewith, the Company will provide the Trustee and Registrar with (y) written confirmation of (I) such delivery, and (II) the amount of the principal of the Notes of such Holder and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts that are deemed to cease to be outstanding as a result of the delivery of the Conversion Consideration to the Holder in connection with such conversion, and (z) an irrevocable instruction to reflect in the Register the payment of such amounts that are deemed to cease to be outstanding as a result of the delivery of the Conversion Consideration to the Holder. The Company shall provide at least two Business Days prior written notification to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any payments to be made in cash in connection with any conversion.

- 92 -

(B) The Company and its agents shall be responsible for making all calculations include, but are not limited to, determination of the Last Reported Sale Price, the Conversion Price and any adjustments to thereto, the amount of Conversion Consideration deliverable in respect of any conversion and accrued interest payable on the Notes. The Company shall make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error the Company’s calculations shall be final and binding on the Holders. The Company shall provide a schedule of its calculations to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Trustee and Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculation without independent verification. The Trustee may forward Company’s calculations to any Holders upon the request of that Holders at the sole cost and expense of the Company.

(C) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Note Agent be responsible for determining the Conversion Price, any Conversion Rate, Applicable Premium or Strategic Make-Whole or any aspect of the Conversion Consideration, any Reference Property or any Reference Property Unit, or, in each case, any conditions or requirements related to their calculation or re-calculation or otherwise. Neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any Note Agent shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any Holder or the Company is entitled to exercise any right or take any other action with respect to the conversion of the Notes or otherwise pursuant to this Article V or whether any Holder or the Company has complied with the terms of this Article V in connection therewith (including, without limitation, whether any Conversion Consideration or any other cash payments have been delivered or paid in accordance with the terms herein). Neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any Note Agent shall be responsible for the delivery of any Conversion Consideration (including any Common Stock of the Company), Reference Property or Reference Property Units; it being understood that the Company shall be solely responsible for ensuring the delivery thereof and for complying with any Depositary Procedures in connection therewith.

(D) Neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any Note Agent shall have any obligation to make any calculation or to determine whether the securities may be surrendered for conversion, or to notify the Company, the Depositary or any Holders if the Notes have become convertible.

(E) Neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any Note Agent shall have any obligation to (1) monitor the stock price, make any calculation or determine whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion or (2) notify the Company, the Depositary, DTC or any holders of the securities, if the securities have become convertible.

(C) Rescission of Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Required Holders, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any acceleration of the Notes and its consequences if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (ii) all existing Events of Default (except the non-payment of principal of, or interest or the Applicable Premium, on, the Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived.

(A) Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for any Event of Default (a “Reporting Event of Default”) pursuant to Section 7.01(A)(vi) arising from the Company’s failure to comply with Section 3.02 will, for each of the first one hundred eighty (180) calendar days on which a Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consist exclusively of the accrual of Special Interest on the Notes. If the Company has made such an election, then (i) the Notes will be subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 7.02 on account of the relevant Reporting Event of Default from, and including, the one hundred eighty first (181st) calendar day on which a Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Company fails to pay any accrued and unpaid Special Interest when due; and (ii) Special Interest will cease to accrue on any Notes from, and including, such one hundred eighty first (181st) calendar day (it being understood that interest on any defaulted Special Interest will nonetheless accrue pursuant to Section 2.05(B)).

- 97 -

(B) Amount and Payment of Special Interest. Any Special Interest that accrues on a Note pursuant to Section 7.03(A) will be payable on the same dates and in the same manner as the interest on such Note and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount thereof for the first ninety (90) days on which Special Interest accrues and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that in no event will Special Interest, together with any Additional Interest, accrue on any day on a Note at a combined rate per annum that exceeds one half of one percent (0.50%). For the avoidance of doubt, any Special Interest that accrues on a Note will be in addition to the interest that accrues on such Note and, subject to the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, in addition to any Additional Interest that accrues on such Note.

(C) Notice of Election. To make the election set forth in Section 7.03(A), the Company must send to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, before the date on which each Reporting Event of Default first occurs, a notice that (i) briefly describes the report(s) that the Company failed to file with or furnish to the SEC; (ii) states that the Company is electing that the sole remedy for such Reporting Event of Default consist of the accrual of Special Interest; and (iii) briefly describes the periods during which and rate at which Special Interest will accrue and the circumstances under which the Notes will be subject to acceleration on account of such Reporting Event of Default.

(D) Notice to Trustee and Paying Agent; Trustee’s Disclaimer. If Special Interest accrues on any Note, then, no later than five (5) Business Days before each date on which such Special Interest is to be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company is obligated to pay Special Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and (ii) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable on such date of payment. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Special Interest is payable or the amount thereof.

(E) No Effect on Other Events of Default. No election pursuant to this Section 7.03 with respect to a Reporting Event of Default will affect the rights of any Holder with respect to any other Event of Default, including with respect to any other Reporting Event of Default.

Section 7.04. OTHER REMEDIES.

(A) Trustee and the Collateral Agent May Pursue All Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

(B) Procedural Matters. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in such proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy following an Event of Default will not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, such Event of Default. All remedies will be cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

- 98 -

Section 7.05. WAIVEROF PAST DEFAULTS.

An Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iv) or (vi) of Section 7.01(A) (that, in the case of clause (vi) only, results from a Default under any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each affected Holder), and a Default that could lead to such an Event of Default, can be waived only with the consent of each affected Holder. Each other Default or Event of Default may be waived, on behalf of all Holders, by the Required Holders. If an Event of Default is so waived, then it will cease to exist. If a Default is so waived, then it will be deemed to be cured and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed not to occur. However, no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right arising therefrom.

Section 7.06. CONTROLBY REQUIRED HOLDERS.

The Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Notes, or that, subject to Section 10.01, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or may involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in liability, unless the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is offered security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent that may result from following such direction.

Section 7.07. LIMITATIONON SUITS.

No Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (except to enforce (x) its rights to receive the principal of, or the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Equity Raise Trigger Repurchase Price for, or interest on, any Notes; or (y) the Company’s obligations to convert any Notes pursuant to Article 5), unless:

(A) such Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(B) Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding deliver a request to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to pursue such remedy;

(C) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent that may result from following such request;

(D) the Trustee and the Collateral Agent do not comply with such request within sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such request and such offer of security or indemnity; and

- 99 -

(E) during such sixty (60) calendar day period, the Required Holders do not deliver to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent a direction that is inconsistent with such request.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will have any duty to determine whether any Holder’s use of this Indenture complies with the preceding sentence.

Each Holder authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Note Agents for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Note Agents, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant this Indenture or any Notes Document. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or

- 100 -

arrangement or otherwise). Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to authorize, consent to, 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, or to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

- 103 -

No amendment or supplement to any Notes Document, or waiver of any provision of any Notes Document, may disproportionately and adversely affect the Holders of any class of Notes without the consent of (x) the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of such class of Notes then outstanding and (y) the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of such class of Notes then outstanding held by Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

In addition, without the consent of (A) (x) the Holders of at least 75% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (y) the Holders of at least 75% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding held by Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company and its Subsidiaries, no amendment, supplement or waiver may modify any Collateral Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with the Collateral or the Collateral Documents in a manner that would have the impact of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Documents (except as permitted by the terms as of the date hereof of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents), and (B) (x) the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of each class of Notes then outstanding and (y) the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of each class of Notes then outstanding held by Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company and its Subsidiaries, no amendment, supplement or waiver may modify any Collateral Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with the Collateral or the Collateral Documents in a manner that would (i) amend the provisions of Section 3.17 (or the definitions of any defined terms as used therein) or (ii) permit the Company to issue additional Notes under this Indenture or incur Indebtedness that is pari passu with (or senior to) any class of Notes as it relates to the Collateral, except (1) as permitted as of the date hereof and (2) if the Holders party to the August 2024 Purchase Agreement have purchased all $16,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Payment Priority New Money Notes issuable pursuant to the August 2024 Purchase Agreement on the terms set forth therein, then with the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (y) the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding held by Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Company may issue up to $2.0 million of additional Payment Priority New Money Notes (and any additional associated Payment Priority Exchange Notes) so long as such issuance is on terms that are substantially the same, or no more favorable to the purchasers of such Notes, as compared to the terms relating to the issuance of additional Notes pursuant to the August 2024 Purchase Agreement and August 2024 Exchange Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain or confirm that any such issuance permitted by this clause (2) is in compliance with the requirements set forth herein, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any terms of the issuance thereof or the terms of the August 2024 Purchase Agreement, the August 2024 Exchange Agreement or any other document for any purpose whatsoever).

(B) Holders Need Not Approve the Particular Form of any Amendment. A consent of any Holder pursuant to this Section 8.02 need approve only the substance, and not necessarily the particular form, of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 8.03. NOTICEOF AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTSAND WAIVERS.

As soon as reasonably practicable after any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.02 becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders and the Trustee notice that (A) describes the substance of such amendment, supplement or waiver in reasonable detail and (B) states the effective date thereof; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to provide such notice to the Holders if such amendment, supplement or waiver is included in a periodic report filed by the Company with the SEC within four (4) Business Days of its effectiveness. The failure to send, or the existence of any defect in, such notice will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 8.04. REVOCATION, EFFECTAND SOLICITATIONOF CONSENTS; SPECIAL RECORD DATES; ETC.

(A) Revocation and Effect of Consents. The consent of a Holder of a Note to an amendment, supplement or waiver will bind (and constitute the consent of) each subsequent Holder of any Note to the extent the same evidences any portion of the same indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note, subject to the right of any Holder of a Note to revoke (if not prohibited pursuant to Section 8.04(B)) any such consent with respect to such Note by delivering notice of revocation to the Trustee before the time such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

(B) Special Record Dates. The Company may, but is not required to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent or take any other action in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 8. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.04(A), only Persons who are Holders as of such record date (or their duly designated proxies) will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, regardless of whether such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such consent will be valid or effective for more than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after such record date.

(C) Solicitation of Consents. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to the consent of a Holder will be deemed to include any such consent obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, any Notes.

(D) Effectiveness and Binding Effect. Each amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 8 will become effective in accordance with its terms and, when it becomes effective with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof), will thereafter bind every Holder of such Note (or such portion).

Section 8.05. NOTATIONSAND EXCHANGES.

If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Note pursuant to this Section 8.05 will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

- 105 -

Section 8.06. TRUSTEEAND COLLATERAL AGENTTO EXECUTE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

The Trustee and Collateral Agent will execute and deliver any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 8; provided, however, that the Trustee and Collateral Agent need not (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) execute or deliver any such amendment or supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s, any Note Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s rights, duties, liabilities or immunities. In executing any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and Collateral Agent will be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 10.01 and 10.02) will be fully protected in relying on, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture; and (B) in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment or supplemental indenture is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company (and any Guarantor) in accordance with its terms.

This Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued under this Indenture, when:

(A) all Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.13) have (i) been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) become due and payable (whether on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, an Equity Raise Trigger Repurchase Date, the Maturity Date, upon conversion or otherwise) for an amount of cash or Conversion Consideration, as applicable, that has been fixed;

(B) the Company has caused there to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, or with the Paying Agent (or, with respect to Conversion Consideration, the Conversion Agent), in each case for the benefit of the Holders, or has otherwise caused there to be delivered to the Holders, cash (or, with respect to Notes to be converted, Conversion Consideration) sufficient to satisfy all amounts or other property due on all Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.13);

(D) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent to the discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied;

provided, however, that Article 10 and Section 11.01 will survive such discharge and, until no Notes remain outstanding, Section 2.15 and the obligations of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent with respect to money or other property deposited with them will survive such discharge.

- 106 -

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 9.02. REPAYMENTTO COMPANY.

Subject to applicable unclaimed property law, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will, at the Company’s written request, promptly deliver to the Company any cash, Conversion Consideration or other property held by any of them for payment or delivery on the Notes that remain unclaimed two (2) years after the date on which such payment or delivery was due. After such delivery to the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will have no further liability to any Holder with respect to such cash, Conversion Consideration or other property, and Holders entitled to the payment or delivery of such cash, Conversion Consideration or other property must look to the Company for payment as a general creditor of the Company.

Section 9.03. REINSTATEMENT.

If the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent is unable to apply any cash or other property deposited with it pursuant to Section 9.01 because of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or other governmental authority that enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits such application, then the discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 9.01 will be rescinded; provided, however, that if the Company thereafter pays or delivers any cash or other property due on the Notes to the Holders thereof, then the Company will be subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such cash or other property from the cash or other property, if any, held by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable.

Section 9.04. DEFEASANCEOF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.

If:

(A) the Company has caused there to be irrevocably deposited, with the Trustee or the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Holders, cash in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) the remaining scheduled interest payments on each Note outstanding as of the time of such deposit (assuming, for these purposes, that Additional Interest and Special Interest would accrue on such Note at their respective maximum rates per annum); and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of each Note outstanding as of the time of such deposit (excluding, in the case of each of sub-clause (i) and (ii) above, any Notes referred to in Section 9.04(B) as to which the deposit referred to in Section 9.04(B) is made);

(B) with respect to each Note, if any, for which a Conversion Date has occurred, but the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such Note has not been fully paid or delivered, as of the time of the deposit referred to in Section 9.04(A), the Company has caused there to be irrevocably deposited for the benefit of the Holders, with a bank or trust company selected by the Company that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof, that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published

- 107 -

annual report of condition, in an account for which the Trustee or the Paying Agent has control of such account pursuant to an account control agreement if applicable, the maximum kind and amount of Conversion Consideration due in respect of such Note (together, if applicable, with (i) cash in the amount of any interest due on such Note pursuant to clause (i) of Section 5.02(D); and (ii) an amount of cash equal to the Applicable Premium);

(C) the Company has instructed the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to pay or deliver cash due on the Notes from the cash deposited pursuant to Section 9.04(A) as the same becomes due and the Company has provided for the delivery of other property due on the Notes from such property deposited pursuant to Section 9.04(B) as the same becomes due;

(D) as of the time of the deposits referred to in Section 9.04(A) and Section 9.04(B), no default in the payment or delivery of any amount or property (including Conversion Consideration) on any Note has occurred and is continuing;

(E) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders will not recognize any income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(F) such Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture, but solely in connection with the incurrence of any indebtedness to finance such Covenant Defeasance) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

(G) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposits referred to in Section 9.04(A) and Section 9.04(B) were not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

(H) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to such Covenant Defeasance have been complied with,

then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, Section 3.09, Section 3.10, Section 3.11, Section 3.12, Section 3.13 and Section 3.14 will thereafter cease to be of any force or effect, and, for the avoidance of doubt, any omission to thereafter comply with Section 3.09 will not in itself constitute a Default or Event of Default under the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes will be unaffected by and Covenant Defeasance and will continue to be in full force and effect.

Each of the Trustee and the Paying Agent will return to the Company any cash or other property deposited with it pursuant to Section 9.04(A) and Section 9.04(B) that remains on deposit after (x) all Notes have been paid in full and none remain outstanding; and (y) the Company has paid all other amounts payable by it under this Indenture.

The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(C) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any such agent appointed with due care.

(D) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith and that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture.

(O) The Trustee shall not be required to take any action under this Indenture or any other Notes Document if taking such action (A) would subject the Trustee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (B) would require the Trustee to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.

Section 10.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTSOFTHE TRUSTEE.

- 112 -

Section 10.05. NOTICEOF DEFAULTS.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, then the Trustee will send Holders a notice of such Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs or, if it is not known to the Trustee at such time, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after it becomes known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and for so long as it in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 10.06. COMPENSATIONAND INDEMNITY.

(A) The Company will, from time to time, pay the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Note Agents reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, as separately agreed by the Company and the Trustee. Such compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. In addition to such compensation, the Company will reimburse the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Note Agents promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of their agents and counsel.

(B) The Company and Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and each Note Agent (including for the cost of defending itself) against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or Guarantors (including this Section 10.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense is proved to be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee, the Collateral Agent or applicable Note Agent will promptly notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity, but the Trustee’s, the Collateral Agent’s or applicable Note Agent’s failure to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 10.06(B). The Company will defend such claim, and the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or applicable Note Agent, as applicable, will cooperate in such defense. If the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Note Agent is advised by counsel that it may have defenses available to it that are in conflict with the defenses available to the Company, or that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest, then the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or Note Agent, as applicable, may retain separate counsel, and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and Note Agents incurred in evaluating whether such a conflict exists). The Company need not pay for any settlement of any such claim made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(C) The obligations of the Company under this Section 10.06 will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the defeasance or discharge of this Indenture.

- 113 -

(D) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 10.06, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, or interest on, particular Notes, which lien will survive the discharge of this Indenture.

(E) If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default pursuant to clause (ix) or (x) of Section 7.01(A) occurs, then such expenses and the compensation for such services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 10.07. REPLACEMENTOFTHE TRUSTEE.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.07, a resignation or removal of the Trustee, and the appointment of a successor Trustee, will become effective only upon such successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 10.07.

(B) The Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from the trust created by this Indenture by so notifying the Company. The Required Holders may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.09;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged to be bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(iii) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(C) If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, then (i) the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee; and (ii) at any time within one (1) year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Required Holders may appoint a successor Trustee to replace such successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

(D) If a successor Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, then the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(E) If the Trustee, after written request by a Holder of at least six (6) months, fails to comply with Section 10.09, then such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(F) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, upon which notice the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will send notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will, upon payment of all amounts due to it under this Indenture, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, which property will, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to the lien provided for in Section 10.06(D).

- 114 -

Section 12.02. COLLATERAL AGENT.

(A) The Collateral Agent agrees that it will hold the Collateral created under the Collateral Documents to which it is a party as contemplated by this Indenture, and any and all proceeds thereof, for the benefit of, the Secured Parties, without limiting the Collateral Agent’s rights, including under this Section 12.02, to act, when directed by the Required Holders, in preservation of the security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered, when directed by the Required Holders, to appoint one or more co-Collateral Agents as may be necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that no Collateral Agent hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other Collateral Agent hereunder.

(B) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness, or sufficiency of the Collateral Documents, for the creation, perfection, continuation, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Lien, including without limitation not being responsible for payment of any taxes, charges or assessments upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral, or for any defect or deficiency as to any such matters, or to monitor the status of any Lien or performance of the Collateral, or for any failure to demand, collect, foreclose or realize upon or otherwise enforce any of the Liens or Collateral Documents or any delay in doing so. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for making any filings or recordings to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Collateral, including without limitation, the filing of any UCC financing statements, continuation statements, or any filings with respect to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or U.S. Copyright Office.

(C) The Collateral Agent will be subject to such directions as may be given to it by the Required Holders or the Trustee (as directed by the Required Holders) from time to time. Except as so directed , and only if indemnified to its satisfaction, the Collateral Agent will not be obligated:

(i) to act upon direction purported to be delivered to it by any Person;

(ii) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien created under the Collateral Documents; or

(iii) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Liens, Collateral Documents or Collateral.

The Collateral Agent will be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the enforcement of the Liens or Collateral Documents.

- 121 -

(D) In acting as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be afforded, and shall be entitled to enforce, each and all of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities, indemnities and benefits of the Trustee in this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, including, without limitation, under Article 10; provided that in that context any references in this Indenture to “Trustee” shall be references to “Collateral Agent”, references to “negligence” shall be references to “gross negligence” and Section 10.01(A) does not apply to the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity in the same manner as the Trustee as provided in Section 10.06.

(E) At all times when the Trustee is not itself the Collateral Agent, the Company will deliver to the Trustee copies of all Collateral Documents delivered to the Collateral Agent and copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

(F) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, or any other party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(G) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Subject to its rights hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Holders or the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Required Holders) in accordance with the terms hereof.

(H) No provision of this Indenture or any Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders or the Trustee unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

- 122 -

(I) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in either the Collateral Agent’s or Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent or Trustee, as applicable, to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent or Trustee, as applicable, to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to any person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any person (including the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Company, the Required Holders shall direct the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.

(J) The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture or the Collateral Documents unless it shall be directed by the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Required Holders) or the Required Holders. If the Collateral Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture or the Collateral Documents in accordance with a request, direction, instruction, or consent of the Required Holders or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, at the request, direction, instruction, or consent of the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Required Holders). Such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

- 123 -

(K) Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

(L) The Collateral Agent and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Company or any other grantor under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall not have any obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture or any Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.

(M) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents and this Indenture, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such intercreditor agreements as it may be presented from time to time and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto (including any releases permitted hereunder), and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise discretion under this Indenture or the Collateral Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the Required Holders or the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Required Holders).

(N) The Trustee, acting at the direction of the Required Holders, may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.

(O) Subject to the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, in each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Notes Documents to take any action (an “Action”), including but not limited to making any determination, giving consents, exercising rights, powers, or remedies, releasing or selling Collateral, or otherwise acting hereunder or under any other Notes Documents, the Collateral Agents may seek direction from the Required Holders. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such direction. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, if the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Required Holders with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until such Collateral Agent shall have received such direction, and the Collateral Agent and Trustee shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

- 124 -

(P) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords property of similar customers and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

Section 12.03. RELEASEOF COLLATERAL; NON-DISTURBANCE.

Collateral Agent of the documents requested by the Company in connection with such release or the entry into such agreements is authorized and permitted by this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, and in the case of any release any appropriate instruments of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the Company (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, without representation or warranty), the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Company’s expense) such instruments or releases as are requested to evidence the release and discharge of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release or the entry into any non-disturbance undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Collateral Document to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until such party receives such Officer’s Certificate and (if applicable) Opinion of Counsel.

(D) At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Required Holders) has delivered notice of acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents shall be effective as against the Holders.

Article 13. GUARANTEES

Section 13.01. GUARANTEES.

(A) By its execution of this Indenture (including by any amended or supplemental indenture), each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it receives substantial benefits from the Company and that such Guarantor is providing its Guarantee for good and valuable consideration, including such substantial benefits. Subject to this Article 13, each of the Guarantors hereby, as a

- 130 -

primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees, to each Holder of a Note authenticated by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Note Agents and their successors and assigns, regardless of the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Documents or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the Notes Documents or the Notes, that:

(i) the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and any Conversion Consideration for, the Notes and such other Obligations will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Equity Raise Trigger Repurchase Date, Redemption Date or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, any interest on, or any Conversion Consideration for, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Secured Parties under this Indenture, the Notes Documents or the Notes, will be promptly paid or delivered in full or performed, as applicable, in each case in accordance with this Indenture and the Notes; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Equity Raise Trigger Repurchase Date, Redemption Date or otherwise, (clause (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case subject to Section 13.02.

Upon the failure of any payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, and upon the failure of any performance so guaranteed, for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay or perform, as applicable, the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(B) Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations is unconditional, regardless of the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Documents or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the Notes Documents or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor other than payment or performance in full of Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have yet to accrue). Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following: (i) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest; (ii) any notice of acceptance; (iii) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable; and (iv) any other notice in respect of any Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Company or any Guarantor. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Company or any Guarantor by reason of any Document or any payment made thereunder or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against the Company or any other Guarantor or set off any of its obligations to the Company or any other Guarantor against obligations of such Guarantor

- 131 -

to the Company or such other Guarantor. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by complete payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations that have yet to accrue) in accordance with this Indenture, the Notes Documents and the Notes. Each Guarantor further waives any right such Guarantor may have under any applicable requirement of law to require the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, or any Holder to seek recourse first against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person, or to realize upon any Collateral for any of the Obligations, as a condition precedent to enforcing such Guarantor’s liability and obligations under this Article 13.

(C) If any Holder, the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return, to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid or delivered by the Company, or any Guarantor to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(D) Each Guarantor agrees that any right of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution it may have in relation to the Holders or in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations will be subordinated to, and will not be enforceable until payment in full and performance of, all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 7, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (ii) if any Guaranteed Obligations are accelerated pursuant to Article 7, then such Guaranteed Obligations will, whether or not due and payable, immediately become due and payable by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor, but only if the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under any Guarantee.

Section 13.02. LIMITATIONON GUARANTOR LIABILITY.

Each Guarantor, and, by its acceptance of any Note, each Holder, confirms that each Guarantor and the Holders intend that the Guarantee of each Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. Each of the Trustee, the Holders and each Guarantor irrevocably agrees that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

- 132 -

Section 13.03. EXECUTIONOF GUARANTEES.

The execution by each Guarantor of this Indenture (or by an amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(B)) evidences the Guarantee of such Guarantor, and the delivery of any Note by the Trustee after its authentication constitutes due delivery of each Guarantee on behalf of each Guarantor. A Guarantee’s validity will not be affected by the failure of any officer of a Guarantor executing this Indenture or any such amended or supplemental indenture on such Guarantor’s behalf to hold, at the time any Note is authenticated, the same or any other office at each Guarantor, and each Guarantee will be valid and enforceable even if no notation, certificate or other instrument is set upon or attached to, or otherwise executed and delivered to the Holder of, any Note.

Section 13.04. WHEN GUARANTORS MAY MERGE,ETC.

(A) No Guarantor will consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (other than the Company or another Guarantor) (a “Guarantor Business Combination Event”), unless (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) is such Guarantor or, if not such Guarantor, expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Guarantor Business Combination Event, a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C) all of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; provided that (a) such surviving Guarantor shall be incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, or would result from such Guarantor Business Combination Event or (2) the transaction is in compliance with Section 3.12.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may merge, consolidate, amalgamate or wind up with or into, or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to, the Company without regard to the requirements set forth in this Section 13.04(A).

(B) Before the effective time of any Guarantor Business Combination Event, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such Guarantor Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C) complies with Section 13.04(A); and (ii) all conditions precedent to such Guarantor Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.

(C) At the effective time of any Guarantor Business Combination Event that complies with Section 13.04(A) and Section 13.04(B), the Successor Guarantor (if not the applicable Guarantor) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, such Guarantor under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Guarantor had been named as a Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Guarantor will be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

Section 13.05. APPLICATIONOF CERTAIN PROVISIONSOFTHE GUARANTORS.

(A) Upon any request or application by any Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture or any Notes Document, the Trustee will be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 11.02 with the same effect as if each reference to the Company in Section 11.02 or in the definitions of “Officer,” “Officer’s Certificate” or “Opinion of Counsel” were instead a reference to such Guarantor.

- 133 -

(B) A Company Order may be given by any Guarantor with the same effect as if each reference to the Company in the definitions of “Company Order” or “Officer” were instead a reference to such Guarantor.

(C) Any notice or demand that this Indenture requires or permits to be given by the Trustee, or by any Holders, to the Company may instead be given to any Guarantor.

Any Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon:

(i)

(1) any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (by merger, consolidation, amalgamation, dividend, distribution or otherwise) of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, in each case, if such sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited by the applicable provisions of this Indenture and, (a) such sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition is in compliance with Section 3.12 or (b) unless such sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition is with or to the Company, the surviving or transferee Person expressly assumes such Guarantor’s obligations in accordance with Section 13.04;

(2) the merger, consolidation or amalgamation of any Guarantor with and into the Company, or upon the liquidation of a Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Company; or

(3) the merger, consolidation or amalgamation of any Guarantor with and into a Subsidiary of the Company where such Subsidiary is the surviving Person, if such merger, consolidation or amalgamation is not prohibited by the applicable provisions of this Indenture and such Subsidiary expressly assumes such Guarantor’s obligations in accordance with Section 13.04; and

(ii) the Company and such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction and release have been complied with.
