All of the Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the depositary, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) (such depositary, or any successor thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions, repurchases and conversions.

Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture, and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders, reopen the Indenture and issue additional Notes with the same terms (subject to certain exceptions) as the Notes in an unlimited aggregate principal amount,provided that if the additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes offered hereby for United States Federal income tax purposes, then they must be issued with a different CUSIP number. The Notes and any such additional Notes would be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture and would vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.03    Conversion Agent.The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”).

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Conversion Agent. The agreement shall implement the provisions of the Indenture that relate to such agent.

ARTICLE 4

REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASES

Section 4.01    Company’s Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee. Prior to March 15, 2021, the Notes shall not be redeemable at the Company’s option. The Company, at its option,

- 12 -

may redeem (a “Conversion Price Trigger Redemption”) the Notes for U.S. legal tender (“cash”) at any time, in whole or in part, on a Redemption Date that occurs on or after March 15, 2021 if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect on (x) the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption under Section 4.03 and (y) for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption in accordance with Section 4.03. The redemption price for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes to be redeemed (the “Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price”) shall be payable in cash and shall be equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, plus (iii) the Make-Whole Premium. The Company must make these Make-Whole Premium payments on all Notes called for redemption prior to the Stated Maturity, including Notes subject to redemption that are converted after the date the Company delivered a notice of redemption.

If the Redemption Date occurs after an Interest Record Date and on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date (i) accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the record holder on the relevant Interest Record Date, (ii) the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price will not include any accrued and unpaid interest, and (iii) the Make-Whole Premium shall equal the present value of all remaining scheduled payments of interest on such Notes, starting with the next Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been provided for (but otherwise calculated as set forth in the definition of Make-Whole Premium). The Trustee shall have no duty to determine or calculate the Make-Whole Premium, which shall be determined by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any such determination and/or calculation and may conclusively rely on the correctness thereof.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to this Section 4.01, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of such election together with the Redemption Date, the Conversion Rate, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not redeem any Notes if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or before the Redemption Date (including as a result of the payment of the related Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price and any related Interest set forth above on the Redemption Date).

The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 4.01 by a Company Order, at least 30 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

Section 4.02    Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, unless the procedures of the Depositary provide otherwise, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate (so long as such method is not prohibited by the rules of any stock exchange or quotation association on which the Notes are then traded or quoted). The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal amount of Notes that have denominations larger than $1,000.

- 13 -

Notes and portions of Notes that the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of the Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly (but in any case within 7 days of the Company Order referred to in Section 4.01) of the Notes or portions of the Notes selected to be redeemed and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the method it has chosen for the selection of the Note.

Following a notice of redemption, Notes and portions of Notes are convertible, pursuant to Section 9.01(a)(ii), by the Holder until the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Company fails to pay the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price. If any Note selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Note so selected, the converted portion of such Note shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Notes that have been converted during a selection of Notes to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

Section 4.03    Notice of Redemption.The Company shall send a notice of redemption (substantially in the form ofExhibit C) to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at least forty-five (45), but no more than sixty-five (65), Scheduled Trading Days before the related Redemption Date.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state (along with any other information the Company wishes to include):

(1)    the Redemption Date;

(2)    the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price;

(3)    the Conversion Rate;

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

(5)    that Notes may be converted at any time before the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, unless the Company fails to pay the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price;

(6)    that Notes called for redemption and not converted shall be redeemed on the Redemption Date;

(7)    that Holders who want to convert their Notes must satisfy the requirements set forth in the Notes;

(8)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent (by effecting book entry transfer of the Notes or delivering Certificated Notes, together with necessary endorsements, as the case may be) to collect the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price;

- 14 -

(9)    if fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers, if any, and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

(10)    that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price and Interest, the Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date; and

(11)    the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar number(s), as the case may be, of the Notes being redeemed.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense,providedthat the Company makes such request at least seven Business Days (or such shorter period as may be satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to the date by which such notice of redemption must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 4.03.

Section 4.04    Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price stated in the notice of redemption except for Notes that are converted in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price stated in the notice of redemption and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to bear Interest (other than as set forth in clause (i) of the second paragraph of Section 4.01), and the rights of the Holders therein shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price).

Section 4.05    Deposit of Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that on or prior thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable return to the Company any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of Notes pursuant to Article 9. If such money is then held by the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust.

Section 4.06    Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, without charge, authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

- 15 -

Section 4.07    Repurchase of Notes at Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a)    If a Fundamental Change occurs, each Holder shall have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”), at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase (a “Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change”) all of such Holder’s Notes (or portions thereof that are integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount), on a date selected by the Company (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”), which shall be no later than 35 days, nor earlier than 20 days, after the date the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is sent in accordance with Section 4.07(b), at a price, payable in cash, equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be so repurchased, plus, except as provided below, accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), upon (with respect to Certificated Notes):

(i)    delivery to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent), or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, no later than the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, of a Holder Repurchase Notice, in the form set forth in the Notes or any other form of written notice substantially similar thereto, in each case, duly completed and signed, with appropriate signature guarantee, stating:

provided,however, that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after an Interest Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then the full amount of accrued and unpaid Interest, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Notes at the close of business on such Interest Record Date (without any surrender of such Notes by such Holder), and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall not include any accrued but unpaid Interest.

If such Notes are instead held in book-entry form through the Depositary, the delivery of any Holder Repurchase Notice, Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or notice of withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(x) shall comply with applicable procedures of the Depositary no later than the close of business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

- 16 -

Upon such delivery of Notes to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or such Paying Agent, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon request, from the Company or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, a nontransferable receipt of deposit evidencing such delivery.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder that has delivered the Holder Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 4.07(a) to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall have the right to withdraw such Holder Repurchase Notice by delivery, at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, of a written notice of withdrawal to the Company (if acting as its own Paying Agent) or the Paying Agent, which notice shall contain the information specified in Section 4.07(b)(x).

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Holder Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(b)    Within 20 Business Days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, to all Holders, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law, a notice, substantially in the form ofExhibit D, (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right arising as a result thereof.

thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Person (if not the Company) will expressly assume, by indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company or such Successor Person including the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes, the due and punctual payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to all Notes repurchased on each Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes to be performed by the Company and fully and unconditionally guarantee all of the obligations of the Company or such Successor Person under the Notes and the Indenture;

(b)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Person as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by such Successor Person as the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with this Article 6 and that all conditions precedent herein provided relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise) of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries (other than to the Company or another Subsidiary), which, if such assets were owned by the Company, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

The Successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Successor Person to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a lease and except for obligations the Company may have under a separate supplemental indenture with respect to securities other than the Notes, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Notes. The Company, the Trustee and the Successor Person shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such Successor Person and such discharge and release of the Company.

ARTICLE 7

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 7.01    Events of Default. So long as any Notes are outstanding, each of the following shall be an “Event of Default”:

(a)    following the exercise by the Holder of the right to convert a Note in accordance with Article 9 hereof, the Company fails to comply with its obligations to deliver the consideration due upon conversion when due, and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days or more;

(b)    the Company defaults in its obligation to provide timely notice of a Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change to the Trustee and each Holder as required under the Indenture, in each case when due and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days or more;

(c)    the Company defaults in the payment of the principal amount of, or the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, any Note when due at maturity, redemption, upon repurchase or otherwise (including, without limitation, upon the exercise by a Holder of its right to require the Company to repurchase such Notes pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.07 hereof);

(d)    the Company defaults in the payment of any Interest when due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(e)    the Company fails to perform or observe any term, covenant or warranty or agreement in the Notes or the Indenture (other than those referred to in Section 7.01(a) through clause Section 7.01(d) above) and such failure continues for 90 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default;

(f)    a failure to pay when due at maturity or a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) that results in the acceleration of maturity of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than indebtedness that isnon-recourse to the Company or any Subsidiary) in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) or more, unless the acceleration is rescinded, stayed or annulled within 30 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default;

(g)    the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premise of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in Article 1, Rule1-02 of RegulationS-X), in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law (any “Bankruptcy Law”) or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order described in clause (i) or (ii) above is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; and

(h)    the commencement by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or (ii) the consent by the Company, to the

- 24 -

entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or (iii) the filing by the Company, of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or (iv) the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or the taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or (v) the making by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

For the avoidance of doubt, clauses (e) and (f) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, of such default and the Company does not cure such default (and such default is not waived) within the time specified in clauses (e) and (f) above after actual receipt of such notice. Any such notice must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

Section 7.02    Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h)) occurs and is continuing (the Event of Default not having been cured or waived), the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid Interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such accelerated amount shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(g) or Section 7.01(h) occurs and is continuing involving the Company (and not solely involving one or more of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries), the principal amount of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid Interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Holders) may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, and thereby waive the Events of Default giving rise to such acceleration, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of the principal amount of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid Interest that have become due solely as a result of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 7.03    Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal amount of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid Interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture.

- 25 -

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 7.04    Special Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 7, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for any Event of Default (a “Reporting Event of Default”) pursuant to Section 7.01(e) arising from the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under Section 5.03 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 as set forth above 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.

Any Special Interest that accrues on a Note will be payable on the same dates and in the same manner as the stated Interest on such Note and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of the principal amount thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any Special Interest that accrues on a Note will be in addition to the stated Interest that accrues on such Note. Each reference in this Indenture to Interest on any Note includes Special Interest, if any, that has accrued on such Note, unless the context requires otherwise.

To make the election to pay Special Interest as set forth above, the Company must provide notice of such election to Holders before the date on which each Reporting Event of Default first occurs. The notice will also, among other things, briefly describe 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.

Section 8.02    With Consent of Holders.

ARTICLE 9

CONVERSIONS

Section 9.01    Conversion Privilege.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 4.07 and Section 9.02, the Notes shall be convertible (i) prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 15, 2023, upon satisfaction of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(b), (ii) at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company fails to pay the Conversion Price Trigger Redemption Price, if the Company has called the Notes for redemption pursuant to Article 4 hereof, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at that time; and (iii) at any time from, and including, March 15, 2023 to, and including, the Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, irrespective of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(b), in each case, into cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as set forth in Section 9.02, in accordance with this Article 9.

(b)    (i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 15, 2023, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2018 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for each of twenty (20) or more Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds the Conversion Trigger Price in effect on the each applicable Trading Day. The Board of Directors will make appropriate adjustments to the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where theEx-Dividend Date of the event occurs, during the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period set forth in the preceding sentence. The Company shall determine at the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing after June 30, 2018 whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Section 9.01(b)(i) and shall notify the Conversion Agent and the Trustee within ten (10) Business Days of the first day of such calendar quarter if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this Section 9.01(b)(i).

(ii)    Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 15, 2023, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion during the five (5) consecutive Business Days immediately after any five (5) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Security Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 9.01(b)(ii), for each Trading Day in such Security Measurement Period was equal to or less than 97% of the Conversion Value of the Notes on such Trading Day (the “Trading Price Condition”). The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(ii) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in the Indenture. The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company pursuant to the definition of Trading Price, along with appropriate contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes in accordance with this

- 30 -

Section 9.01(b)(ii) unless requested by the Company, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder of at least $1.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding provides the Company with written notice that includes reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be equal to or less than 97% of the Conversion Value of the Notes. Promptly after receiving such evidence, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each of the next five (5) Trading Days until the Trading Price Condition is no longer satisfied. If the Company does not so instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids when required pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(ii), the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes shall be deemed to be equal to 97% of the Conversion Value of the Notes on each Trading Day that the Company fails to do so. If, at any time after the Trading Price Condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than 97% of the Conversion Value, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee).

(iii)    If, prior to March 15, 2023, there occurs (1) a Fundamental Change, (2) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (3) a Common Stock Change Event (other than, in the case of this clause (3), a transaction described in Section 9.12(i) that complies with the Company’s obligations under Article 6, if applicable, and is not a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), in each case other than a merger or other business combination transaction that is effected solely to change the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation and that does not constitute a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, then a Holder may surrender its Notes for conversion at any time during the period that begins on, and includes, the effective date of the transaction and ends on, and includes, the thirty-fifth (35th) Business Day after the effective date of the transaction (or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date). The Company will notify Holders and the Trustee of any such transaction no later than the actual effective date of such transaction. In addition, if the transaction is a Fundamental Change, then the Notes may also be surrendered for repurchase as provided in Section 4.07.

(iv)    Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 15, 2023, if the Company elects to:

(A)    distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after the record date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such distribution is announced; or

(B)    distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company’s securities (excluding distributions solely pursuant to a transaction described in Section 9.06(a)), which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement of such distribution,

- 31 -

then, in each case, the Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee at least forty-five (45) Business Days before theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution and the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. However, the Company will not be required to provide such notice, and Holders will not have the right to convert their Notes pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(iv)(B), if each Holder participates, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in such distribution without having to convert their Notes as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution,multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(c)    A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of a Note if such portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount. Provisions of the Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Note also apply to conversion of a portion of such Note.

(d)    If the Notes shall be convertible in accordance with this Section 9.01, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and Holders, and the Company shall publicly announce, through a reputable national newswire service, that the Notes have become convertible, stating, among other things:

(i)    the event causing the Notes to become convertible;

(ii)    the time during which the Notes shall be convertible as a result of that event;

(iii)    if that event is a transaction described under Section 9.01(b)(iii) or Section 9.01(b)(iv), the effective date of the transaction; and

(iv)    the procedures Holders must follow to convert their Notes, including the name and address of the Conversion Agent.

The Company shall send the notice as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the open of business on the Business Day immediately following the date the Notes become convertible as a result of the event.

Section 9.02    Conversion Procedure and Payment Upon Conversion.

(a)    To convert a Note, a Holder of a Certificated Note must (1) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice, with appropriate signature guarantee, or facsimile of the Conversion Notice and deliver the completed Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent, (4) pay the amount of interest, if any, required by Section 9.02(c), and (5) pay any tax or duty if required pursuant to Section 9.04. If a Holder holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note, to convert such Note, the Holder must comply with clauses (4) and (5) above and the Depositary’s procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Note.

- 32 -

Upon conversion of a Holder’s Note, in satisfaction of its conversion obligation, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, at its election, through the Conversion Agent, (i) shares of Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share (“Physical Settlement”), (ii) cash (“Cash Settlement”), or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share (“Combination Settlement”) as set forth in this Section 9.02(a). The Company, or the Trustee at the direction of the Company and in the Company’s name and at its expense, shall inform Holders of the Settlement Method it elects to satisfy its obligation upon conversion (and the Specified Cash Amount, if applicable, as follows):

(i)    in respect of Notes converted with a Conversion Date that is on or after the forty-fifth (45th) Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, no later than the forty-fifth (45th) Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity; and

(ii)    in all other cases, no later than the Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date;

provided,however, that if the Company calls any Notes for redemption, then (x) the Company will specify in the related redemption notice the Settlement Method that will apply to all conversions with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date the Company sends such redemption notice and before the related Redemption Date; and (y) if the related Redemption Date is on or after the forty-fifth (45th) Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, then such Settlement Method must be the same Settlement Method that applies to all conversions with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the forty-fifth (45th) Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Company must use the same Settlement Method for all conversions with a Conversion Date that occur on the same day, but the Company will not be obligated to use the same Settlement Method for conversions with Conversion Dates that occur on different days.

If the Company fails to give notice within the time periods provided for in the immediately preceding sentence as to how it intends to settle its conversion obligation with respect to such Notes, then the Company will be deemed to have elected the Default Settlement Method and such failure will not be deemed to be a Default. If the Company elects Combination Settlement but fails to specify the Specified Cash Amount, then the Specified Cash Amount will be deemed to be $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

Except as provided in Sections 9.06, 9.12 and 9.15, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the consideration due upon conversion as follows: (i) if Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the last VWAP Trading Day of such Observation Period; and (ii) if Physical Settlement applies, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after such Conversion Date.

- 33 -

The amount of cash and number of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, due upon conversion of Notes will be as follows:

(1)    If the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to each converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted,divided by (B) $1,000multipliedby (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect on the relevant Conversion Date (provided that the Company shall deliver cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 9.03).

(2)    If the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to each converting Holder, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes so converted, cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the forty (40) consecutive VWAP Trading Days in the relevant Observation Period.

(3)    If the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) Combination Settlement, the Company shall deliver to each converting Holder, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes to be converted, cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the forty (40) consecutive VWAP Trading Days in the relevant Observation Period (provided that the Company will deliver cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 9.03).

The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the applicable Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash deliverable in lieu of fractional shares (if any), the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash deliverable in lieu of fractional shares (if any). The Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(b)    A Holder receiving shares of Common Stock upon conversion shall not be entitled to any rights as a holder of Common Stock, including, among other things, the right to vote, respond to tender offers and receive dividends and notices of shareholder meetings, until the close of business on the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the close of business on the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). On and after the Conversion Date with respect to a conversion of a Note pursuant hereto, all rights of the Holder of such Note shall terminate, other than the right to receive the consideration deliverable upon conversion of such Note as provided herein (and, if applicable, any interest payment as provided in Section 9.02(c)).

(c)    Except as provided in the Notes or in this Article 9, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest, if any, on a converted Note or for dividends on any Common Stock issued on or prior to conversion, and accrued interest, if any, will be deemed to be paid by the consideration paid to the Holder upon conversion. On conversion of a Note, accrued interest, if any, with respect to the converted Note shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of fractional shares), or cash or a

- 34 -

combination of cash and Common Stock in lieu thereof, in exchange for the Note being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof; and the fair market value of such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares), or cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock in lieu thereof, shall be treated as delivered, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for accrued interest, if any, and the balance, if any, of the fair market value of such Common Stock (and any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares), or cash in lieu thereof, shall be treated as delivered in exchange for the remaining principal payments due on the Note being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof. If any Holder surrenders a Note for conversion after the close of business on the Interest Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and prior to the open of business on the next Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest payable with respect to such Note on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Note at the close of business on such Record Date;provided,however, that such Note, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment in cash to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of the full amount equal to the accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the portion so converted;provided further,however, that such payment to the Conversion Agent provided for in the immediately preceding proviso in respect of a Note surrendered for conversion shall not be required with respect to a Note that (i) the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the Business Day immediately after the corresponding Interest Payment Date (ii) is surrendered for conversion after the close of business on September 1, 2023, the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity or (iii) is surrendered for conversion after the close of business on an Interest Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or before the Business Day immediately after the related Interest Payment Date, where, pursuant to Section 4.07, the Company has specified, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Interest Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date;provided further that, if the Company shall have, prior to the Conversion Date with respect to a Note, defaulted in a payment of interest on such Note, then in no event shall the Holder of such Note who surrenders such Note for conversion be required to pay such defaulted interest or the interest that shall have accrued on such defaulted interest pursuant to Section 3.07 of the Base Indenture or otherwise (it being understood that nothing in this Section 9.02(c) shall affect the Company’s obligations under Section 3.07 of the Base Indenture).

(d)    If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, if any, shall be based on the total principal amount of all Notes converted.

(e)    Upon surrender of a Note that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Note surrendered.

(f)    If the last day on which a Note may be converted is not a Business Day in a place where a Conversion Agent is located, the Note may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

- 35 -

Section 9.03    Cash In Lieu Of Fractional Shares.

The Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of a Note. Instead, the Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement).

Section 9.04    Taxes On Conversion.

If a Holder converts its Note, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue, if any, of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, such Holder shall pay any such tax or duty that is due because such shares are issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver a certificate representing the Common Stock to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duty that will be due because such shares are to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name.

Section 9.05    Company to Provide Common Stock.

The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in its treasury enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the Notes. The shares of Common Stock, if any, due upon conversion of a Global Note shall be delivered by the Company in accordance with the Depositary’s customary practices.

All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes shall be validly issued, fully paid andnon-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes and shall list such shares on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed.

Section 9.06    Adjustment Of Conversion Rate.

The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, except that the Company will not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if each Holder of Notes participates (other than in the case of a transaction described in Section 9.06(a) or Section 9.06(e)), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 9.06 without having to convert such Holder’s Notes as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate,multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder:

(a)    If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR 1	=	CR 0	×	OS 1
				OS0

- 36 -

where,

CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;
CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;
OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and
OS’	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or such share split or share combination, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this Section 9.06(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 9.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or any share split or combination of the type described in this Section 9.06(a) is announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or not to split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced.

(b)    If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants entitling such Holders, for a period expiring not more than sixty (60) days immediately following the record date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such distribution is announced, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR 1	=	CR 0	×	OS0 + X
				OS0 + Y

- 37 -

where,

CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business onthe Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution;
OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution;
X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants,divided by (y) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such distribution is announced.

Any increase made under this Section 9.06(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if suchEx-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 9.06(b) and Section 9.01(b)(iv), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date such distribution is announced, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. Except as provided in the last sentence of the prior paragraph, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 9.06(b).

(c)    

(i)    If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other of its assets, securities or property, or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances covered by Section 9.06(a) and Section 9.06(b) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such dividends, distributions or issuance for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is not yet effected pursuant to such Section 9.06(a)

- 38 -

or Section 9.06(b), as applicable, due to the application of the 1% Provision), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash referred to in Section 9.06(d) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such dividends or distributions for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is not yet effected pursuant to such Section 9.06(d) due to the application of the 1% Provision), (iii) dividends or distributions solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 9.12 will apply, and (iv) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth in Section 9.06(c)(ii) shall apply (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the 1% Provision) (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, securities or property, or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Assets”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR 1	=	CR 0	×	SP
				SP – FMV

where

CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 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 theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution;
SP	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities, property, rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution.

If the Board of Directors determines “FMV” for purposes of this Section 9.06(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the “SP₀” (as defined above), then, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as the holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of Distributed Assets that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution.

Any increase made under this Section 9.06(c)(i) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

- 39 -

(ii)    If the Company dividends or distributes, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (other than a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 9.12 will apply) where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of theSpin-Off) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

CR 1	=	CR 0	×	FMV + MP
				MP

where

CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for theSpin-Off;
CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for theSpin-Off;
FMV	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, theEx-Dividend Date for theSpin-Off; and
MP0	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over theSpin-Off Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph will be determined as of the end of theSpin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for theSpin-Off, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or any VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during theSpin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of theSpin-Off Valuation Period.

Except as provided in the last sentence of the fourth paragraph of Section 9.06(c)(i), in no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 9.06(c).

(d)    If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR 1	=	CR 0	×	SP
				SP – C

- 40 -

where

CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 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 theEx-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP	=	the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding theEx-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
C	=	the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company dividends or distributes to holders of its Common Stock.

Such increase shall become effective immediately after the open of business on theEx-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), then, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount of cash such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such dividend or distribution.

Except as provided in the last sentence of the second paragraph of this Section 9.06(d), in no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 9.06(d).

(e)    If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to anodd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average (such average, the “Reference Price”) of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutiveTrading-Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR 1	=	CR 0	×	AC + (SP × OS1)
				OS0 × SP

where

CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the time (the“Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;

- 41 -

CR1	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;
AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Time (before giving effect to the purchase of all shares of the Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS1	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of the Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP	=	the Reference Price.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 9.06(e) will be determined as of the end of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or any VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 9.06(e).

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, if:

(i)    a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on anyEx-Dividend Date pursuant to subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 9.06;

(ii)    a Note is to be converted pursuant to Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement;

(iii)    the Conversion Date for such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or any VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion (in the case of Combination Settlement) occurs on or after suchEx-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;

(iv)     the consideration due upon such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or due with respect to such VWAP Trading Day (in the case of Combination Settlement) includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and

- 42 -

(v)    such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution,

then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or for such VWAP Trading Day (in the case of Combination Settlement); and (y) the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or issuable with respect to such VWAP Trading Day (in the case of Combination Settlement) based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, 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 subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 9.06 has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or on or before any VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion (in the case of Combination Settlement), but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date or VWAP Trading Day, as applicable;

(iii)    the consideration due upon such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or due in respect of such VWAP Trading Day (in the case of Combination Settlement) includes any whole shares of the 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 the case of Physical Settlement) or such VWAP Trading Day (in the case of Combination Settlement). In such case, if the date 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 (x) deliver, on such date the Company is otherwise required by this Indenture, the consideration due upon such conversion based on the applicable unadjusted Conversion Rate(s); and (ii) deliver, on the Business Day immediately after such first date, any additional consideration arising from giving effect to such adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate(s).

(h)    As used in this Section 9.06, “record date” means, with respect to any dividend distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of the Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(i)    In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company may, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law and the continued listing requirements of the NYSE, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a

- 43 -

period of at least twenty (20) Business Days or any longer period as may be permitted or required by law, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company. Such Conversion Rate increase shall be irrevocable during such period. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such increase to be sent to each Holder, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such increase commences.

(j)    All calculations under this Article 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearestone-millionth of a share, as the case may be. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th.

Section 9.07    No Adjustment.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Notes to the contrary, in no event shall the Conversion Rate be adjusted:

(a)    upon 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 the Common Stock under any plan;

(b)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or restricted stock, restricted stock units,non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options or any other options or rights (including stock appreciation 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;

(c)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (b) above and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(d)    for a third party tender offer by any party other than a tender offer by one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries set forth in Section 9.06(e);

(e)    solely pursuant to anodd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act;

(f)    for accrued and unpaid Interest, if any;

(g)    upon the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open-market share repurchase program or otherbuy-back transaction, including structured or derivative transactions, that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described in Section 9.06; or

(h)    for a change in the par value of shares of Common Stock.

No adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be required until cumulative adjustments amount to one percent (1%) or more of the Conversion Rate as last

- 44 -

adjusted (or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Rate);provided, however, 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 1% to the Conversion Rate; (ii) the Conversion Date of, or any VWAP Trading Day of an Observation Period for, any Note; (iii) the date a Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs; (iv) the date the Company calls any Notes for redemption; and (iv) March 15, 2023. The provisions of this this paragraph are referred to herein as the “1% Provision.”

No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made pursuant to Section 9.06 for a transaction (other than for share splits or share combinations pursuant to Section 9.06(a)) if the Company provides for each Holder to participate in the transaction, at the same time that holders of Common Stock participate in such transaction, without conversion, as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction whose numerator is the product of the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date or effective date, as applicable, of the transaction (without giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 9.06 on account of such transaction) and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder and whose denominator is one thousand dollars ($1,000).

Section 9.08    Other Adjustments.

In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 9.06 hereof, the Holder of any Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock other than Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Rate of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article 9.

Section 9.09    Adjustments For Tax Purposes.

Except as prohibited by law the Company may (but is not obligated to) increase the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 9.06 hereof, as it determines to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock made by the Company or to its shareholders will not be taxable to the recipients thereof or in order to avoid or diminish any such taxation.

Section 9.10    Notice Of Adjustment.

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly send to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.

Section 9.11    Notice Of Certain Transactions.

In the event that:

(1)    the Company takes any action, or becomes aware of any event, which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate,

- 45 -

(2)    the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.12, or

(3)    there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,

the Company shall send to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books and the Trustee a written notice stating the proposed record, effective or expiration date, as the case may be, of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 9.11. The Company shall send such notice at least twenty (20) calendar days (or, in the case of any event that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.06(b), Section 9.06(c), Section 9.06(d) or Section 9.06(e), thirty (30) Business Days) before such date; however, failure to send such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 9.11.

Section 9.12    Effect Of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, Binding Share Exchanges Or Sales On Conversion Privilege.

If the Company:

(i)    reclassifies the Common Stock (other than a change only in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 9.06 applies);

(ii)    is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding statutory share exchange; or

(iii)    sells, transfers, leases, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the consolidated property or assets of the Company,

in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property, including any combination thereof (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such cash, securities or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of reference property that a holder of one share of our 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,

(A)    at the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (i) the consideration due upon conversion of any Note, and the conditions to any such conversion, will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Article 9 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (ii) for purposes of Section 4.01, each reference to any number of shares of the Common Stock in such provisions (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

- 46 -

of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” “Change of Control,” “Termination of Trading” and “Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” the terms “Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity (or American Depositary Shares representing common equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property;

(B)    if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then the Company will be deemed to elect Cash Settlement in respect of all conversions whose Conversion Date occurs on or after the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event and will pay the cash due upon such conversions no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after such Conversion Date; and

(C)    for these purposes, the Volume-Weighted Average Price or Closing 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 Common Stock Change Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election (or, if no such Holders make an affirmative election, the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of the Common Stock). The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

The Company shall not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 9.12.

None of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.12 shall affect the right of a Holder to convert its Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, in accordance with Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 hereof, prior to the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event.

In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture in accordance with this Section 9.12 in connection with a Common Stock Change Event, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any such Common Stock Change Event and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto. The supplemental indenture referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article 9. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such

- 47 -

consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders as the Board of Directors in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution). The provisions of this Section 9.12 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.

Section 9.13    Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 9 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto that the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.10 hereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Notes, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article 9.

The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 9.12, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto that the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.12 hereof.

Section 9.14    Rights Distributions Pursuant To Shareholders’ Rights Plans.

Upon conversion of any Note or a portion thereof, the Company shall make provision such that the Holder thereof shall, to the extent such Holder is to receive shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, the rights described in any future shareholders’ rights plan(s) of the Company then in effect, unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock prior to the time of conversion in accordance with the provisions of the applicable rights plan, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock, Distributed Assets as described in Section 9.06(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Section 9.15    Increased Conversion Rate Applicable To Certain Notes Surrendered In Connection With Make-Whole Fundamental Changes.

(a)    If, prior to the Stated Maturity, there occurs any event or transaction (a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”) that constitutes a Fundamental Change (determined after giving effect to any exceptions to or exclusions from such definition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the proviso immediately after clause (3) of the definition of Change of Control), but excluding theNon-Ownership Change of Control exception), then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Conversion Rate applicable to each Note that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with this Article 9, at any time during the period (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”) from, and including, the effective date (the

- 48 -

“Effective Date”) of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (which Effective Date the Company shall disclose in the notice referred to in Section 9.15(e)) to, and including, the date that is thirty-five (35) Business Days after such Effective Date (or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change also constitutes a Fundamental Change, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Fundamental Change) shall be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 9.15, otherwise apply to such Note pursuant to this Article 9, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase.

(b)    As used herein, “Make-Whole Applicable Increase” shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the amount, set forth in the following table, which corresponds to the Effective Date and the Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

provided,however, that:

(i)    if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two (2) Applicable Prices listed in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price,” or if the actual Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two Effective Dates listed in the table above in the row immediately below the title “Effective Date,” then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by linear interpolation between the Make-Whole Applicable Increases set forth for such higher and lower Applicable Prices, or for such earlier and later Effective Dates based on a three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred andsixty-six (366) day year, as applicable;

(ii)    if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater than $65.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Applicable Prices pursuant to Section 9.15(b)(iii)), or if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is less than $6.53 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Applicable Prices pursuant to Section 9.15(b)(iii)), then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase shall be equal to zero (0);

(iii)    if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article 9 (other than solely pursuant to this Section 9.15), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, each Applicable Price set forth in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price” shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such Applicable Price, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such Applicable Price as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Applicable Price and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article 9, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate;

- 49 -

(iv)    each Make-Whole Applicable Increase amount set forth in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner, for the same events and at the same time as the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to Section 9.06 through Section 9.14; and

(v)    in no event shall the Conversion Rate applicable to any Note be increased pursuant to this Section 9.15 to the extent, but only to the extent, such increase shall cause the Conversion Rate applicable to such Note to exceed 153.1393 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount (the “Maximum Conversion Rate”);provided, however, that the Maximum Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to this Article 9.

(c)    Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iii), the Company shall, at its option, satisfy its conversion obligation by delivering or paying, as the case may be, shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share), cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share) in accordance with Section 9.02;provided, however, that if at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change the consideration for the Common Stock is comprised entirely of cash, then, for any conversion of Notes with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the conversion obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Applicable Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount, per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes, equal to the applicable Conversion Rate (including any Make-Whole Applicable Increase),multipliedby such Applicable Price. In such event, the cash due upon conversion shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the second (2nd) Business Day following such Conversion Date.

(d)    As used herein, “Applicable Price” shall have the following meaning with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change: (a) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change constitutes is a transaction or series of related transactions described in clause (3) of the definition of Change of Control, and the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares or pursuant to statutory dissenters’ or appraisal rights) for the Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change consists solely of cash, then the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (b) in all other circumstances, the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which average shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment, pursuant hereto, to the Conversion Rate that shall become effective, or any event requiring, pursuant hereto, an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where theEx-Dividend Date of such event occurs, at any time during such five (5) consecutive Trading Days.

(e)    The Company shall send to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Holders notice of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the applicable Make-Whole Applicable Increase in accordance with Section 9.01(b)(iii).

- 50 -

(f)    For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 9.15 shall not affect or diminish the Company’s obligations, if any, pursuant to Article 4 with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(g)    Nothing in this Section 9.15 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.06 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

The Company shall pay Interest to the Securityholder of record on the Interest Record Date even if the Company elects to redeem or Securityholders elect to require the Company to repurchase, the Notes on a date that is after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date. In that instance, the Company shall pay accrued and unpaid Interest on the Notes being redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, to the Securityholder of record on the Interest Record Date.
