INTRODUCTION

On June 2, 2025, Nebius Group N.V. (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with the investors named therein (the “Investors”), for the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of senior unsecured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion, in two tranches: $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.00% convertible notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.00% convertible notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the issuance of the Notes to finance the continuing growth of its business, including the acquisition of additional compute power, the expansion of its data center footprint, and for general corporate purposes.

THE NOTES

The Notes will be issued pursuant to respective indentures to be dated June 5, 2025 (the “Indentures”) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will bear interest on the original principal amount thereof at an annual rate of 2.00%, in the case of the 2029 Notes, and 3.00%, in the case of the 2031 Notes, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 5 and December 5, beginning on December 5, 2025. The Notes will mature on June 5, 2029 and June 5, 2031, respectively, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such dates.

The original principal amount of the Notes plus an amount accreted thereon (together, the “Accreted Principal Amount”) will be payable on the respective maturity date and upon an event of default (as defined in the respective Indentures), unless the relevant Notes have been earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. The Accreted Principal Amount shall be calculated in accordance with an accretion schedule included in the respective Indentures, such that it reaches 120% of the original principal amount of the 2029 Notes and 125% of the original principal amount of the 2031 Notes on the respective maturity dates.

The Notes will have an initial conversion rate of 19.4363 Class A ordinary shares of the Company per $1,000 original principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $51.45 per Class A ordinary share, representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 40% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market of $36.75 on May 30, 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of the exercise of any conversion rights in respect of the Notes, the conversion rate and conversion price will be based on the original principal of Notes, and not the Accreted Principal Amount. The conversion rate and conversion price per original principal amount of Notes will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. For conversions made in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change”, as defined in the respective Indentures, the conversion rate will be increased based on a customary make-whole table.

Taking into account the Accreted Principal Amount payable at maturity, the effective conversion price of the 2029 Notes is equal to approximately $61.74 per Class A ordinary share at maturity, implying an effective conversion premium of approximately 68%, and the effective conversion price of the 2031 Notes is equal to approximately $64.31 per Class A ordinary share at maturity, implying an effective conversion premium of approximately 75%.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately before the date that is two months prior to the respective maturity date of the Notes, the Notes of such tranche will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, including if the sale price of the Class A ordinary shares over a specified period of time is equal to or greater than 130% of the product of the then-applicable conversion rate and the ratio of the Accreted Principal Amount at the time to the original principal amount of the Notes (the “Accretion Ratio”). From the date that is two months prior to the respective maturity date of the Notes, the Notes of such tranche will be convertible at any time at the election of the holders of the Notes until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the respective maturity date. The Company will settle conversions of the Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, Class A ordinary shares or a combination of cash and Class A ordinary shares, at the Company’s election, based on the then-applicable conversion rate per original principal amount of Notes.

The Company may elect to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash on or after December 10, 2026 (approximately 18 months after closing), in the case of the 2029 Notes, and on or after June 10, 2027 (approximately 24 months after closing), in the case of the 2031 Notes, in each case before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the respective maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per Class A ordinary share is equal to or greater than 130% of the product of the then-applicable conversion rate and the Accretion Ratio for a specified period of time. The Notes will also be redeemable at the option of the Company following the occurrence of certain tax law changes. The redemption price in each case will be equal to the Accreted Principal Amount at the time of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the original principal amount of such Notes to, but excluding, the redemption date. Following delivery of a redemption notice by the Company, holders of the Notes will have the right, at their option, to convert their Notes prior to the redemption date based on the then-applicable conversion rate per original principal amount of Notes. Such conversions will be settled as described above. No make-whole adjustments to the conversion rate will be made in connection with any optional redemption or tax redemption.

Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indentures) at a cash repurchase price of 100% of their respective Accreted Principal Amount at the time, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the original principal amount of their Notes to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

The Notes are being sold only to investors who are “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Settlement and delivery of the Notes is expected to take place on or about June 5, 2025.

Nebius Group announces private placement of$1 billion in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes

Amsterdam,June 2, 2025— Nebius Group N.V. (“Nebius Group” or the “Company”; NASDAQ: NBIS), a leading AI infrastructure company, today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements for a private placement of senior unsecured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion, in two tranches: $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.00% convertible notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.00% convertible notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”).

Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of Nebius, said:

“We are pleased to have successfully raised $1 billion in convertible notes, which marks another major milestone and underscores the deep conviction of the investment community in our business.

"Since our $700 million equity financing in December 2024, we have been scaling rapidly and expanding our global AI infrastructure footprint. The fresh capital we are raising now gives us more firepower to go faster, paving the way for increased revenue opportunities in 2026 and further accelerating us toward our medium-term target of mid-single-digit billions of dollars in revenue as a high-margin business, with potential upside.

"Building foundational AI infrastructure is a capital-intensive business. In addition to access to the capital markets, we are fortunate to have non-core assets and equity stakes with significant growth profiles that can be used to support the future funding requirements of our core business. Our strong balance sheet and low interest burden will allow revenue growth to translate efficiently into bottom-line results and to be reinvested into our core business. These are important competitive differentiators for us as it should enable us to deploy billions of additional capital to support our plans for hypergrowth, while remaining disciplined on leverage and minimizing shareholder dilution.

"We are grateful for the continued support of our investors, who understand the scale of what we’re building and the substantial market opportunity we can capture."

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the issuance of the Notes to finance the continuing growth of its business, including the acquisition of additional compute power, the expansion of its data center footprint, and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will be issued pursuant to respective indentures to be dated June 5, 2025 (the “Indentures”) between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will bear interest on the original principal amount thereof at an annual rate of 2.00%, in the case of the 2029 Notes, and 3.00%, in the case of the 2031 Notes, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 5 and December 5, beginning on December 5, 2025. The Notes will mature on June 5, 2029 and June 5, 2031, respectively, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such dates.

The original principal amount of the Notes plus an amount accreted thereon (together, the “Accreted Principal Amount”) will be payable on the respective maturity date and upon an event of default (as defined in the respective Indentures), unless the relevant Notes have been earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. The Accreted Principal Amount shall be calculated in accordance with an accretion schedule included in the respective Indentures, such that it reaches 120% of the original principal amount of the 2029 Notes and 125% of the original principal amount of the 2031 Notes on the respective maturity dates.

The Notes will have an initial conversion rate of 19.4363 Class A ordinary shares of the Company per $1,000 original principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $51.45 per Class A ordinary share, representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 40% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market of $36.75 on May 30, 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of the exercise of any conversion rights in respect of the Notes, the conversion rate and conversion price will be based on the original principal of Notes, and not the Accreted Principal Amount. The conversion rate and conversion price per original principal amount of Notes will be subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. For conversions made in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change”, as defined in the respective Indentures, the conversion rate will be increased based on a customary make-whole table.

Taking into account the Accreted Principal Amount payable at maturity, the effective conversion price of the 2029 Notes is equal to approximately $61.74 per Class A ordinary share at maturity, implying an effective conversion premium of approximately 68%, and the effective conversion price of the 2031 Notes is equal to approximately $64.31 per Class A ordinary share at maturity, implying an effective conversion premium of approximately 75%.

From the date that is two months prior to the respective maturity date of the Notes, the Notes of such tranche will be convertible at any time at the election of the holders of the Notes until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the respective maturity date. The Company will settle conversions of the Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, Class A ordinary shares or a combination of cash and Class A ordinary shares, at the Company’s election, based on the then-applicable conversion rate per original principal amount of Notes.

The Company may elect to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash on or after December 10, 2026 (approximately 18 months after closing), in the case of the 2029 Notes, and on or after June 10, 2027 (approximately 24 months after closing), in the case of the 2031 Notes, in each case before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the respective maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per Class A ordinary share is equal to or greater than 130% of the product of the then-applicable conversion rate and the Accretion Ratio for a specified period of time. The Notes will also be redeemable at the option of the Company following the occurrence of certain tax law changes. The redemption price in each case will be equal to the Accreted Principal Amount at the time of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the original principal amount of such Notes to, but excluding, the redemption date. Following delivery of a redemption notice by the Company, holders of the Notes will have the right, at their option, to convert their Notes prior to the redemption date based on the then-applicable conversion rate per original principal amount of Notes. Such conversions will be settled as described above. No make-whole adjustments to the conversion rate will be made in connection with any optional redemption or tax redemption.

Holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indentures) at a cash repurchase price of 100% of their respective Accreted Principal Amount at the time, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the original principal amount of their Notes to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

Settlement and delivery of the Notes is expected to take place on or about June 5, 2025.

The Company and the members of the Company’s Board of Directors have agreed to a lock-up period of 30 days, subject to customary exceptions. The Company has further granted the initial investors in the Notes certain registration rights in respect of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

The Notes are being sold only to investors who are “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

This press release does not and shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any Notes or Class A ordinary shares, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of Notes or Class A ordinary shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

4.3            No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Investor Agreement by the Subscriber, the purchase of the Subscribed Notes in accordance with this Agreement, and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not, (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries is subject; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar constitutive or Organizational Documents of the Subscriber or any of its subsidiaries; or (iii) result in the violation of any Law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of each of (i) and (iii), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially delay or hinder the ability of the Subscriber to perform its obligations under this Agreement (a “Subscriber Adverse Effect”).

15

4.6           Purchase Entirely for Own Account.

The Subscriber further understands that the Placement Agent has not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character, and the Placement Agent will have no responsibility with respect to (x) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) of any thereof, or (y) the financial condition, business or any other matter concerning the Company or the transactions contemplated hereby.

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sub-paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section 7.1 shall not be available to a party if the inability to satisfy any of the conditions to Closing was due primarily to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

7.2           Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no further effect, with no liability on the part of the Company or the Subscriber, or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, with respect to this Agreement, except (a) for the terms of this Section 7.2, Section 5.1 and Section 8, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (b) that nothing in this Section 7.2 shall relieve any party hereto from liability or damages incurred or suffered by any other party resulting from any intentional (x) breach of any representation or warranty of such first party or (y) failure of such first party to perform a covenant hereof.

8.              Miscellaneous Provisions.

8.1           Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing. The covenants made in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely until fully performed in accordance with their terms and remain operative and in full force and effect in accordance with their terms regardless of acceptance of any of the Subscribed Notes and payment therefor and repayment, conversion or repurchase thereof. The Subscriber shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

22

8.2           Interpretation. The term “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and section and subsection references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof” and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, will be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. The meanings given to terms defined herein will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. All matters to be agreed to by any party hereto must be agreed to in writing by such party unless otherwise indicated herein. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to agreements, policies, standards, guidelines or instruments, or to statutes or regulations, are to such agreements, policies, standards, guidelines or instruments, or statutes or regulations, as amended or supplemented from time to time (or to successors thereto). The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

All notices, requests, Consents, and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (unless there is evidence that it was delivered earlier): (a) when delivered, if delivered personally; (b) five (5) Business Days after being sent via a reputable international courier service; or (c) at the time of sending if sent by e-mail, provided that receipt shall not occur if the sender receives an automated message that the e-mail has not been delivered to the recipient, in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below.

23

8.5           Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury.

(a)            This Agreement and all matters relating hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to choice of laws or conflicts of laws provisions thereof that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b)            The Company and the Subscriber hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i)            submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating solely to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, to the general jurisdiction of the any state court or United States Federal court sitting in the City of New York in the State of New York;

(ii)           consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same to the extent permitted by applicable law;

(iii)          agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the party, as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 8.3 or at such other address of which the other party shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(iv)          agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement of any judgment or if jurisdiction in the courts referenced in the foregoing clause (i) are not available despite the intentions of the parties hereto;

(v)           agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court may be enforced in the courts of any jurisdiction to which such party is subject by a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon such party in the manner specified herein or as otherwise permitted by law;

(vi)          agrees that to the extent that such party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law; and

(vii)         IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT.

24

8.6           Delays or Omissions; Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to a party upon any breach or default of another party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or be construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or as a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

8.7           Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that irreparable damages for which money damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy, may occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties may be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled, at Law or in equity; and the parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.

8.8           Fees; Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the party incurring them, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby are consummated.

8.9           Assignment. The Subscriber may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), other than to the following Persons, to whom the Subscriber may, after Closing, assign its rights and/or transfer its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company: any Affiliate or any other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of such Subscriber to whom the Subscriber may transfer its Subscribed Notes in accordance with the terms of the Investor Agreement and any Other Subscriber. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Subscriber. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment other than in compliance with the terms hereof shall be void ab initio. Any assignment and/or transfer of rights by the Subscriber under this Agreement following Closing to any Affiliate of the Subscriber shall enable such Affiliate to exercise such rights (including in respect of representations and warranties) as if such Affiliate were party to this Agreement as of the date hereof and acquired the Subscribed Notes directly from the Company at Closing.

25

8.10         No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly described herein with respect to the Placement Agent, this Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party hereto nor create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and the Placement Agent. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto and the Placement Agent may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

8.11         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic transmission) in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute a single instrument.

8.12         Nature of Relationship. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that its relationship under this Agreement is purely contractual. Therefore, (i) this Agreement does not create a fiduciary relationship of any kind (partnership, agency, trust, employment or otherwise), nor (save as expressly provided herein) restrict or limit the activities of the parties in any way, (ii) no party is a representative or agent of any other party for any purpose whatsoever, and (iii) no party shall have any right, power or authority to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of any other party.

8.13         Family Office. The Company, on behalf of itself and the other Company Parties (as defined below), acknowledges and agrees that the acquisition of the Subscribed Notes and the execution and adoption of this Agreement are not intended to establish, and shall not establish, an investment advisory relationship by and among, (i) on the one hand, the Subscriber or any Affiliate, or any of its or their members, owners, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives (each, a “Subscriber Party”), and (ii) on the other hand, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, employees, agents or representatives (each, a “Company Party”), whereby any Subscriber Party serves as an investment adviser to any Company Party or that would otherwise result in any Subscriber Party meeting the definition of an investment adviser in Section 202(a)(11) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, with respect to any Company Party. Further, the Company, on behalf of itself and the other Company Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Company Parties are not relying upon any Subscriber Party for investment advice, analysis or recommendations regarding any investment or potential investment.

8.14         No More Favorable Terms. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company is entering into the Other Subscription Agreements. The Company has not entered into any subscription agreement, purchase agreement, side letter or other agreement with any other investor in connection with such other investor’s direct or indirect investment in the Notes, other than the Other Subscription Agreements. The Other Subscription Agreements reflect the same price and other terms with respect to the purchase of Notes that are not more favorable to the Other Subscribers thereunder than the terms of this Agreement, other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such Other Subscriber or its affiliates or related funds. The Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended or modified in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement.

26

8.15         Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein (including the Investor Agreement), including the Exhibits hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto respecting the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, negotiations, understandings, representations and statements respecting the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. No modification, alteration or change in any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the parties hereto unless made in writing and duly executed by the Company and the Subscriber. In addition, no amendment shall be made to an Other Subscription Agreement, and no consideration shall be offered or paid to any Other Subscriber to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of such Other Subscriber’s Other Subscription Agreement, unless the same amendment or consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees), as the case may be, also is offered to the Subscriber.

8.16         No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Owners, Etc. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, equity holder, managing member, member, general partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of the Subscriber or the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Subscriber or the Company, as applicable, under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the respective obligations of the Subscriber or the Company, as applicable, under this Agreement. Each party hereby waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are a material inducement to each party’s entry into this Agreement.

8.17         Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the joint product of the Subscriber and the Company, and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

2.             Registration Rights.

2.1             Shelf Registration Statement.

(a)            The Company shall as promptly as practicable following the date hereof (but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date) (the “Filing Deadline”) file one or more prospectus supplements to the effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement of the Company (File No. 333-286932) (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”), providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the Holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act or any similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC.

(b)            The Company shall, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be continuously effective and usable until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(c)            If any Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall promptly notify the Investor via e-mail of such occurrences and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend such Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement or file an additional registration statement, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Holders thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and usable until the end of the Effectiveness Period. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be a registration statement on Form F-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders;

(d)            If a Person entitled to the benefits of this Agreement becomes a Holder after a Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall, following delivery of written notice to the Company of such Person becoming a Holder and requesting for its name to be included as a selling securityholder in the prospectus related to the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Subsequent Holder Notice”), if required and permitted by applicable Law, file with the SEC a supplement to the related prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement so that such Holder is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file more than one post-effective amendment or a supplement to the related prospectus for such purpose in any 60-day period;

6

(e)            In the event the number of shares available under the Resale Shelf Registration Statement at any time is insufficient to cover the Registrable Securities, the Company shall, to the extent necessary and permissible, amend the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or file a new registration statement (together with any prospectuses or prospectus supplements thereunder, a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises (the “New Registration Filing Date”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such amendment and/or New Registration Statement become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof but no later than (i) the fifth Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the New Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review and (ii) the 75th calendar day following the initial filing date of the New Registration Statement if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the New Registration Statement (the earlier of such dates, the “New Registration Effectiveness Deadline”). The provisions of Sections 2.1(a) and (b) shall apply to the New Registration Statement, except as modified hereby.

(f)            The Company shall not name the Investor as an “underwriter” in any Shelf Registration Statement or New Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Investor (provided that, in the event the Investor withholds such consent, the Company shall withdraw any Registrable Securities of the Investor in any Shelf Registration Statement and/or New Registration Statement covering the resale thereof until such time as the SEC no longer requires the Investor to be named as an “underwriter” in such Shelf Registration Statement or the Investor otherwise consents in writing to being so named).

(g)            In the event that Form F-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form F-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or New Registration Statement, as applicable, then in effect until such time as a Resale Shelf Registration Statement, Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement or New Registration Statement, as applicable, on Form F-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

(h)            Upon notification by the SEC that any Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, within one (1) Business Day thereafter, the Company shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act.

7

2.2             Underwritten Offering.

(a)            Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, the Investor may, after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, deliver a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten Offering Notice”), which notice the Company shall deliver to the Other Investors (to afford them an opportunity to join such notice), specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement is intended to be conducted through an Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that the Holders of Registrable Securities may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, (i) launch an Underwritten Offering the anticipated gross proceeds of which shall be less than $100,000,000 (unless all the Holders are proposing to sell all of their remaining Registrable Securities), (ii) launch (A) more than one Underwritten Offering at the request of the Investor or (B) more than two Underwritten Offerings at the request of the Investors in the aggregate or (iii) launch or close an Underwritten Offering within any Blackout Period. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an Underwritten Offering Notice (as defined in any Other Investor Agreement), the Company shall send written notice of such requested Underwritten Offering (as defined in such Other Investor Agreement) to the Investor and shall include in such Underwritten Offering (as defined in such Other Investor Agreement) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has delivered a written request to the Company for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the Investor receives an Underwritten Offering Notice (as defined in such Other Investor Agreement).

(b)            The underwriter for any Underwritten Offering requested pursuant to Section 2.2(a) shall be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holders representing seventy five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders who delivered such Underwritten Offering Notice, provided that if the Investor has delivered an Underwritten Offering Notice, the Investor shall have the right to select an additional co-managing underwriter, which such underwriter shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company and to the Holders representing seventy five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders who delivered such Underwritten Offering Notice. All Holders requesting the inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the managing underwriter or co-managing underwriter for the Underwritten Offering determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering, then the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be allocated among the Aggregate Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Aggregate Holder; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall not be reduced unless all other securities that the Company intends to include are first entirely excluded from such Underwritten Offering.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the terms of this Agreement and the Company’s obligations hereunder shall continue to apply with respect to any Investor that does not consent to include (or subsequently withdraws) their Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering.

2.3             Take-Down Notice. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, at any time that any Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if any of the Investors delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an underwritten sale or distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on any Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Offering”) and stating the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Offering, then the Company shall, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be sold and distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering; provided, that (i) no more than one Take-Down Notice may be delivered per quarter by a particular Investor (or an Affiliate thereof) and (ii) the Holders may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, launch or close a Shelf Offering during a Blackout Period or Suspension Period.

2.4             Piggyback Registration.

(a)            If the Company proposes or is required to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Class A Shares (other than a registration statement filed for purposes other than capital raising activities or otherwise filed to effectuate an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan) (each, a “Piggyback Registration Statement”), then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such filing, which notice shall be given, to the extent reasonably practicable, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to the Investor on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement the number of shares of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request. Subject to Section 2.4(b), the Company shall include in each Piggyback Registration Statement all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (each, a “Piggyback Request”) within four (4) Business Days after the date of the receipt by the Investor of the Piggyback Notice. Unless the Piggyback Registration Statement is governed by Section 2.1, the Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any Piggyback Registration Statement beyond the earlier of (x) one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the Holders of all Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration Statement.

(b)            If any of the securities to be registered pursuant to a Piggyback Registration Statement are to be sold in an Underwritten Offering (a “Piggyback Offering”), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Piggyback Offering to permit Holders of Registrable Securities who have timely submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each Holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as any other Class A Shares included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Piggyback Offering advise the Company in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Offering (including by the Company) exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering in light of market conditions without having an adverse effect on the success of such offering (including the price at which the securities can be sold), the Company will include in such offering only such number of securities as can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Class A Shares to be sold by the Company for its own account; (ii) second the Registrable Securities of the Aggregate Holders allocated among the Aggregate Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Aggregate Holder (or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such Holders).

2.5             Registration Procedures. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, in the case of each registration of Registrable Securities effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, the Company will:

(a)            prepare and promptly file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such securities and use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement;

(b)            prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for the period specified in clause (a) above and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Holders’ intended method of distribution set forth in such registration statement for such period;

(g)            in the event that the Registrable Securities are being offered in an Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of the Underwritten Offering pursuant to which such Registrable Securities are being offered;

(k)            with respect to one Underwritten Offering that includes Registrable Securities the market value of which is at least one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000), participate, to the extent requested by the managing underwriter, in efforts extending for no more than two (2) days scheduled by such managing underwriter and reasonably acceptable to the Company’s senior management, to sell the Registrable Securities being offered pursuant to such Underwritten Offering (including participating during such period in customary “roadshow” meetings with prospective investors);

(l)            use all reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC relating to such registration and make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, provided that the Company will be deemed to have complied with this clause (l) with respect to such earning statements if it has satisfied the provisions of Rule 158;

(m)            if requested by the managing underwriter or any selling Holder, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or any selling Holder reasonably requests to be included therein, with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold by such selling Holder, including, without limitation, the purchase price being paid therefor by the underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice regarding a Suspension Period from the Company, the Investor shall discontinue, and shall cause each Holder which is its controlled Permitted Transferee to discontinue, Disposition of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or the related prospectus, such period shall be deemed a Suspension Period (as defined in Section 2.6), until receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus, which supplement or amendment shall, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, be prepared and furnished as soon as reasonably practicable, or until the Investor is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and have received copies of any amended or supplemented prospectus or any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference in such prospectus and, if requested by the Company, the Investor shall use reasonable best efforts to return or destroy, and cause each Holder which is its controlled Permitted Transferee to return or destroy, to the Company all copies then in their possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such request. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to update and correct any statements or omissions, to respond to requests by the SEC or any other federal or state Governmental Authority or to remove entry into any stop order, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended Class A Shares to a transferee of a Holder in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a Holder has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Holder’s receipt of a notice regarding a Suspension Period from the Company and for which the Holder has not yet settled.

2.6             Suspension. On no more than two occasions and for not more than forty-five (45) consecutive days or for a total of not more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period (a “Suspension Period”), the Company may delay the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement, or suspend the use of any prospectus included in any registration statement, in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such delay or suspension is necessary to (a) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (b) amend or supplement the affected registration statement or the related prospectus so that such registration statement or prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify each Investor in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Investor) disclose to such Investor any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (ii) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the registration statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

12

2.7             Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company within five (5) Business Days after request by the Company such information regarding itself and the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably necessary to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, including, for the avoidance of doubt, such information with respect to the beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities as may be required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. It is understood and agreed that the timeliness of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Section 2 is conditioned on the timely provision of any information required from such Holder or Holders for such registration; provided, that the Holder or Holders, as applicable, are provided with a reasonable period of time in which to provide such information.

2.8             Expenses. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registration hereunder shall be borne by the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf in such registration statement.

13

2.9             Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Agreement:

(a)            The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder to the fullest extent permitted by law, including Registrable Securities in any registration statement, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder, each of such Holder’s or underwriter’s directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents, members, partners, managers, representatives, advisors, and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, owners, agents, members, partners, managers, representatives, advisors, and employees of such Holder and controlling Persons, against any and all out-of-pocket and reasonably documented losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which they may become subject under any securities Laws including, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference into such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any offering memorandum or other offering document relating to the offering and sale of such securities; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other state securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in reliance upon or in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder or any such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus (preliminary, final or summary) or any amendment or supplement thereto or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the registration statement, such prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (B) the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that such prospectus is outdated or defective or (C) a Holder’s failure to send or give a copy of the prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required, pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such prospectus or supplement The Company shall pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.9(a), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(b)            Each Holder including Registrable Securities in a registration statement, severally but not jointly with any other Holder, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the officers, directors, owners, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, against any Losses, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) which arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation: (i) arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished specifically for use in connection with such registration by such Holder; or (ii) is caused by such Holder’s Disposition of Registrable Securities during any period during which such Holder is obligated to discontinue any Disposition of Registrable Securities as a result of any stop order issued by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or prospectus with respect to Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, in no event shall the liability of such Holder be greater in amount than the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

14

(c)            Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any action by a Governmental Authority), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would, in the opinion of the indemnified party, be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.

(d)            In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability in any case in which a claim for indemnification is made pursuant to this Section 2.9 but it is judicially determined that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.9 provided for indemnification in such case, the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in proportion to the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and such Holders, severally, on the other hand; provided, however, that in any such case, no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; provided further, however, that in no event shall any contribution under this Section 2.9(d) on the part of any Holder exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation, except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

17

Accordingly, if any party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to any damaged party at law or in equity, such damaged party may be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual or threatened damages, which remedy such damaged party will be entitled to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction.

A party relying on this provision shall promptly notify the other party in writing upon becoming aware that it is unable to perform an obligation under this Agreement as a result of such applicable laws and shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of non-performance, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

4.16          No Conflicting Agreements. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Holder that it is not, as of the date of this Agreement, a party to, and agrees that it shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into, any agreement or approve any amendment to its Organizational Documents (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) with respect to its securities that conflicts with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. The Company further represents and warrants that (save in respect of any rights granted to the Other Investors on substantially the same terms hereof) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to any other holder of the Company’s securities under any other agreements.

4.17          No More Favorable Terms. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company is entering into the Other Investor Agreements. The terms of the Other Investor Agreements are not more favorable to the Other Investors thereunder than the terms of this Agreement, other than terms particular to the regulatory requirements of such Other Investor or its affiliates or related funds. The Other Investor Agreements have not been amended or modified in any material respect following the date of this Agreement. In addition, no amendment shall be made to an Other Investor Agreement, and no consideration shall be offered or paid to any Other Investor to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of such Other Investor’s Other Investor Agreement, unless the same amendment or consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees), as the case may be, also is offered to the Investor.

(ii)           The Trustee will cause an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or a duly appointed authenticating agent) to manually sign the certificate of authentication of a Note only if (1) the Company delivers such Note to the Trustee; (2) such Note is executed by the Company in accordance with Section 2.02(A); and (3) the Company delivers a Company Order to the Trustee that (a) requests the Trustee to authenticate such Note; and (b) sets forth the name of the Holder of such Note and the date as of which such Note is to be authenticated. If such Company Order also requests the Trustee to deliver such Note to any Holder or to the Depositary, then the Trustee will promptly deliver such Note in accordance with such Company Order.

(iii)          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. A duly appointed authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so under this Indenture, and a Note authenticated as provided in this Indenture by such an agent will be deemed, for purposes of this Indenture, to be authenticated by the Trustee. Each duly appointed authenticating agent will have the same rights to deal with the Company as the Trustee would have if it were performing the duties that the authenticating agent was validly appointed to undertake.

Each Note will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% (the “Stated Interest”), plus any Default Interest, Additional Interest and Special Interest that may accrue pursuant to Sections 2.05(B), 3.04 and 7.03, respectively. Stated Interest on each Note will (i) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which Stated Interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no Stated Interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the date set forth in the certificate representing such Note as the date from, and including, which Stated Interest will begin to accrue in such circumstance) to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Stated Interest; and (ii) be, subject to Sections 4.02(D), 4.03(F) and 5.02(D) (but without duplication of any payment of interest), payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on the first Interest Payment Date set forth in the certificate representing such Note, to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date. Stated Interest, and, if applicable, Additional Interest and Special Interest, on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

- 16 -

(B)           DefaultedAmounts. If the Company fails to pay any cash amount (a “Defaulted Amount”) payable on a Note on or before the due date therefor as provided in this Indenture, then, regardless of whether such failure constitutes an Event of Default, (i) such Defaulted Amount will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of such Note otherwise entitled to such payment; (ii) to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”) will accrue on such Defaulted Amount at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which Stated Interest accrues, from, and including, such due date to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest; and (iii) such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest will be paid as provided either in clause (i) or (ii) below, at the Company’s election.

(ii)           Paymentof Default Amount in Any Other Lawful Manner. If not paid in accordance with Section 2.05(B)(i), such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest will be paid by the Company in any other lawful manner.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.05(B), a Default in the payment or delivery of any Conversion Consideration when due will be cured upon the payment or delivery of the same (together, if applicable in the case of any cash Conversion Consideration, with Default Interest thereon) to the Person to whom such Conversion Consideration is payable or deliverable (determined in accordance with Article 5).

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

(D)           SpecialProvision for Global Notes. If the first date on which any Additional Interest or Special Interest begins to accrue on a Global Note is on or after the fifth (5th) Business Day before a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the amount thereof accruing in respect of the period from, and including, such first date to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date but will instead be deemed to accrue (without duplication) entirely on such Interest Payment Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no interest will accrue as a result of the related delay).

Section 2.06. Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

(A)           Generally.

If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then the Trustee will act as such and will receive compensation therefor in accordance with this Indenture and any other agreement between the Trustee and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.

Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Trustee may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly.

Subject to Section 2.06(A), the Company may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (including appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act in such capacity) without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee (and, upon request, any Holder) of the name and address of each Note Agent, if any, not a party to this Indenture and will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with each such Note Agent, which agreement will implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Note Agent.

Section 2.07. Paying Agent and Conversion Agent to Hold Property in Trust.

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

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

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

(2)           such Note is not otherwise Freely Tradable,

then Additional Interest will accrue on such Note for each day during such period on which such failure is continuing or such Note is not Freely Tradable. The “grace periods” referred to in this Section 3.04(A)(i) with respect to any report will include the maximum period afforded by Rule 12b-25 (or any successor rule thereto) under the Exchange Act regardless of whether the Company files, or indicates in the related Form 12b-25 (or any successor form thereto) that Company expects to or will file, such report before the expiration of such maximum period.

(ii)           In addition, Additional Interest will accrue on a Note on each day on which such Note is not Freely Tradable on or after the De-Legending Deadline Date for such Note.

(B)           Amountand Payment of Additional Interest. Subject to Section 3.04(C), any Additional Interest that accrues on a Note pursuant to Section 3.04(A) 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 one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Original Principal Amount thereof for the first ninety (90) days on which Additional Interest accrues and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the Original Principal Amount thereof; provided, however, that in no event will Additional Interest (excluding any interest that accrues on any Deferred Additional Interest pursuant to Section 3.04(C)), together with any Special Interest, accrue on any day on a Note at a combined rate per annum that exceeds one half of one percent (0.50%). For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Interest that accrues on a Note will be in addition to the Stated Interest that accrues on such Note and, subject to the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, in addition to any Special Interest that accrues on such Note.

(C)           Deferralof Additional Interest.

(i)           Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, but subject to Section 3.04(C)(iii), Additional Interest that accrues on any Note for any period on or after the De-Legending Deadline Date of such Note will not be payable on any Interest Payment Date occurring on or after such De-Legending Deadline Date unless (1) a Holder (or an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note) has delivered to the Company and the Trustee, no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day before the Regular Record Date immediately before such Interest Payment Date, a written notice (a “Deferred Additional Interest Demand Request”) demanding payment of Additional Interest; or (2) the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects, by sending notice of such election (a “Noticeof Election to Pay Deferred Additional Interest”) to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) before such Regular Record Date, to pay such Additional Interest on such Interest Payment Date (any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest that, in accordance with this sentence, is not paid on such Interest Payment Date being “Deferred Additional Interest”). Without further action by the Company or any other Person, interest will accrue on such Deferred Additional Interest from, and including, such Interest Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which Stated Interest accrues on the Notes to, but excluding, the date on which such Deferred Additional Interest, together with accrued interest thereon, is paid. Once any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest becomes payable on an Interest Payment Date (whether as a result of the delivery of a written notice pursuant to clause (1) above or, if earlier, the Company’s election to pay the same pursuant to clause (2) above), Additional Interest will thereafter not be subject to deferral pursuant to this Section 3.04(C).

(ii)           InterpretiveProvisions. Each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to any accrued interest (including in the definitions of the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note) or to any accrued Additional Interest includes, to the extent applicable, and without duplication, any Deferred Additional Interest, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to pay any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest on an Interest Payment Date will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes if such payment is deferred in accordance with Section 3.04(C)(i). Otherwise, such a failure to pay will be subject to Section 7.01(A)(ii).

- 31 -

(iii)          Paymentor Extinguishment Upon Maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if (1) any unpaid Deferred Additional Interest exists on any Notes as of the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) no Holder (or owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note) has delivered a Deferred Additional Interest Demand Request in the manner set forth in Section 3.04(C)(i) on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day before such Regular Record Date; and (3) the Company has not sent a Notice of Election to Pay Deferred Additional Interest in the manner set forth in Section 3.04(C)(i) before such Regular Record Date, then Deferred Additional Interest on each Note then outstanding will cease to accrue, and all Deferred Additional Interest, together with interest thereon, on such Note will be deemed to be extinguished on the following date: (a) if such Note is to be Converted, the Conversion Date for such Conversion (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Conversion Consideration therefor need not include, and the amount referred to in clause (i) of Section 5.02(D) need not include, the payment of any such Deferred Additional Interest or any interest thereon); and (b) in all other cases, the later of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) the first date on which the Company has repaid the Accreted Principal Amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest (other than such Deferred Additional Interest and any interest thereon) on, such Note in full.

(D)           Noticeof Accrual of Additional Interest; Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Company will send notice to the Holder of each Note, and to the Trustee, of the commencement and termination of any period in which Additional Interest accrues on such Note, except that no such notice is required in respect of any Additional Interest that is deferred in accordance with Section 3.04(C). In addition, if Additional Interest accrues on any Note, then, no later than five (5) Business Days before each date on which such Additional Interest is to be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company is obligated to pay Additional Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and (ii) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable on such date of payment. The Trustee (x) will have no duty to determine whether any Additional Interest is payable (or whether the same is deferred or is accruing interest) or the amount thereof and (y) may assume (without inquiry) that no Additional Interest is payable or has been deferred unless and until the Company delivers such Officer’s Certificate.

(E)           ExclusiveRemedy. The accrual of Additional Interest will be the exclusive remedy available to Holders for the failure of their Notes to become Freely Tradable.

Section 3.05.        Complianceand Default Certificates.

(A)          AnnualCompliance Certificate. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the last day of each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the first such fiscal year ending after the date of this Indenture, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating (i) that the signatory thereto has supervised a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during such fiscal year with a view towards determining whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred; and (ii) whether, to such signatory’s knowledge, a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing (and, if so, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

- 32 -

If a Default or Event of Default occurs, then the Company will, within thirty (30) days after its first occurrence, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee describing the same and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to deliver such Officer’s Certificate at any time after such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived.

Section 3.06.        Stay,Extension and Usury Laws.

To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee by this Indenture, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(G)           any taxes that were imposed with respect to any payment of the Accreted Principal Amount, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price, as applicable, with respect to, and interest on, such Note if the Holder is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that no Additional Amounts would have been payable had the beneficial owner of the applicable Note been the Holder of such Note.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Additional Amounts will be payable in the case of withholding or deduction that is imposed in connection with payments of cash upon conversion of the Notes or deliveries of shares of Common Stock, together with payments of cash for any shares of Common Stock that would represent a fractional share (other than any de minimis amount of withholding or deduction in the nature of the costs of issuance of Common Stock) upon conversion of the Notes.

(b) If the Company becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment or delivery under or with respect to the Notes, the Company will timely deliver to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as the case may be, to pay Additional Amounts to Holder on the relevant payment date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Company will provide the Trustee with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

- 35 -

(c) The Company will make all withholdings and deductions required by law and will timely remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company will obtain tax receipts from each taxing authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld and timely furnish to the Holders certified copies of tax receipts evidencing payment by the Company. In the event that (i) the taxing authority of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction determines that amounts should have been withheld or deducted in respect of any payments or deliveries under or with respect to the Notes in excess of any amounts that were actually withheld or deducted by the Company or its successor, and (ii) the Company or its successor would have been required to pay Additional Amounts if such amounts had been withheld or deducted, then the Company or its successor shall indemnify each Holder and beneficial owner of the Notes and the Trustee, on an after-Tax basis, for any and all losses incurred as a result of the Company’s failure to make such withholdings and deductions and to pay Additional Amounts (including any Additional Amounts); provided, that, such Holder or beneficial owner shall reasonably assist the Company or its successor in any attempt the Company or its successor may make to seek to secure a reduction or refund of any such amounts, which reduction or refund shall be for the account of the Company or its successor to the extent of any indemnification previously provided to such beneficial owner.

(d) Any reference in this Indenture or the Notes in any context to the payment of the Accreted Principal Amount, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price, with respect to, and interest on, any Note shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts, unless the context requires otherwise, that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations referred to in this Section 3.09.

(e) The Company or any successor to the Company will promptly pay when due and indemnify the Holder or beneficial owner for any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any taxing jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration or enforcement of each Note or any other document or instrument referred to herein or therein or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto.

(f) The foregoing obligations shall survive termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its Notes, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, for the avoidance of doubt, to any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Company is then incorporated, organized, or resident for tax purposes, or engaged in business or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment or deliveries is made or deemed made and any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein having the power to tax, or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 3.10.        Settlementin Common Stock in the Event of Withholding or Deduction upon Conversion.

In the event that any withholding or deduction (other than any de minimis amount of withholding or deduction in the nature of the costs of issuance of shares of Common Stock) is required by law upon or in connection with any payments of cash upon conversion of the Notes or deliveries of shares of Common Stock (together with payments of cash for any shares of Common Stock that would represent a fractional share) upon conversion of the Notes, whether made in cash, shares of Common Stock or other consideration, the Company shall timely take any reasonable measures to minimize or eliminate such withholding or deduction including but not limited to, by electing to settle the conversion of the Notes solely in Common Stock and not to settle the conversion in cash (in whole or in part). If such withholding or deduction can be eliminated (or reduced to a de minimis amount in the nature of the costs of issuance of shares of Common Stock) if Physical Settlement is the applicable settlement method for a conversion of the Notes, the Company will be deemed to have elected Physical Settlement for all conversions otherwise subject to such withholding or deduction.

The Redemption Date for any Redemption will be a Business Day of the Company’s choosing that is no more than fifty-five (55), nor less than thirty-five (35), Scheduled Trading Days after the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption; provided, however, that if, in accordance with Section 5.03(A)(i)(3), the Company has elected to settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after such Redemption Notice Date and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date by Physical Settlement, then the Company may instead elect to choose a Redemption Date that is a Business Day no more than sixty (60), nor less than fifteen (15), calendar days after such Redemption Notice Date.

(v)           that Notes called for Redemption may be converted at any time before the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Company pays such Redemption Price in full);

(vi)          the Conversion Rate in effect on the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption and a description and quantification of any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that may result from such Redemption (including pursuant to Section 5.07);

(ii)           If only a portion of a Note is subject to Redemption and such Note is converted in part, then the converted portion of such Note will be deemed to be from the portion of such Note that was subject to Redemption.

(I)            Paymentof the Redemption Price. Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Redemption Price by the time prescribed by Section 3.01(B), the Company will cause the Redemption Price for a Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.03(F) on any Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption must be paid pursuant to such proviso.

(J)            SpecialProvisions for Partial Calls. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to this Section 4.03, and the Holder of any Note, or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note, is reasonably not able to determine, before the Close of Business on the thirty-second (32nd) Scheduled Trading Day (or, if, in accordance with Section 5.03(A)(i)(3), the Company has elected to settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date by Physical Settlement, the tenth (10th) calendar day) immediately before the Redemption Date for such Redemption, whether such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such Redemption, then such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, at any time before the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before such Redemption Date, and each such conversion will be deemed to be of a Note called for Redemption for purposes of this Section 4.03 and Sections 5.01(C)(i)(4) and 5.07. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to (x) any Note that is called for Redemption (or similar language) includes any Note that is deemed to be called for Redemption pursuant to this Section 4.03(J); and (y) any Note that is not called for Redemption (or similar language) excludes any Note that is deemed to be called for Redemption pursuant to this Section 4.03(J). The Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall have no obligation to make any determination in connection with the foregoing.

Article 5.     Conversion

Section 5.01.        Rightto Convert.

(A)          Generally. Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, each Holder may, at its option, convert such Holder’s Notes into Conversion Consideration.

(B)           Conversionsin Part. Subject to the terms of this Indenture, Notes may be converted in part, but only in Authorized Denominations. Provisions of this Article 5 applying to the conversion of a Note in whole will equally apply to conversions of a permitted portion of a Note.

(C)           WhenNotes May Be Converted.

(i)            Generally. Subject to Section 5.01(C)(ii), a Note may be converted only in the following circumstances:

(1)           ConversionUpon Satisfaction of Common Stock Sale Price Condition. A Holder may convert its Notes during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2025, if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock is equal to or exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the product of the Conversion Price and the Accretion Ratio for each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

(2)           ConversionUpon Satisfaction of Note Trading Price Condition. A Holder may convert its Notes during the five (5) consecutive Business Days immediately after any ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (such ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period, the “MeasurementPeriod”) if the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth below, for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than ninety-eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day. The condition set forth in the preceding sentence is referred to in this Indenture as the “Trading Price Condition.”

The Trading Price will be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this Section 5.01(C)(i)(2) and the definition of “Trading Price.” The Bid Solicitation Agent (if not the Company) will have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in writing, and the Company will have no obligation to make such request (or seek bids itself) unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes would be less than ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If a Holder provides such evidence, then the Company will (if acting as Bid Solicitation Agent), or will instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to, determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes is greater than or equal to ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day. If the Trading Price Condition has been met as set forth above, then the Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the same. If, on any Trading Day after the Trading Price Condition has been met as set forth above, the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes is greater than or equal to ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day, then the Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the same.

- 46 -

(3)           ConversionUpon Specified Corporate Events.

(a)           CertainDistributions. If, before April 5, 2029, the Company elects to:

(I)           distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, so long as such rights have not separated from the Common Stock and are not exercisable until the occurrence of a triggering event, except that such rights will be deemed to be distributed under this clause (I) upon their separation from the Common Stock or upon the occurrence of such triggering event) entitling them, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the date such distribution is first publicly announced, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced (determined in the manner set forth in the third paragraph of Section 5.05(A)(ii)); or

(II)          distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets or securities of the Company or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution per share of Common Stock has a value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced,

- 47 -

then, in either case, (x) the Company will send notice of such distribution, and of the related right to convert Notes, to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent at least thirty-five (35) Scheduled Trading Days before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (or, if later in the case of any such separation of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan or the occurrence of any such triggering event under a stockholder rights plan, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes aware that such separation or triggering event has occurred or will occur); and (y) once the Company has sent such notice, Holders may convert their Notes at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date and the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place; provided, however, that the Notes will not become convertible pursuant to clause (y) above (but the Company will be required to send notice of such distribution pursuant to clause (x) above) on account of such distribution if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder, in such distribution without having to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution; and (ii) the aggregate Original Principal Amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder on such record date; provided, further, that if the Company is then otherwise permitted to settle conversions of Notes by Physical Settlement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company has not elected (or been deemed to have elected) another Settlement Method to apply, including pursuant to Section 5.03(A)(i)(1)), then the Company may instead elect to provide such notice at least ten (10) Scheduled Trading Days before such Ex-Dividend Date, in which case (x) the Company must settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the date the Company provides such notice and on or before the Business Day immediately before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (or any earlier announcement by the Company that such distribution will not take place) by Physical Settlement; and (y) such notice must state that all such conversions will be settled by Physical Settlement.

(b)           CertainCorporate Events. If a Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Common Stock Change Event occurs (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, in each case, Holders may convert their Notes at any time from, and including, the effective date of such transaction or event to, and including, the thirty fifth (35th) Trading Day after such effective date (or, if such transaction or event also constitutes a Fundamental Change (other than an Exempted Fundamental Change), to, but excluding, the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date); provided, however, that if the Company does not provide the notice referred to in the immediately following sentence by such effective date, then the last day on which the Notes are convertible pursuant to this sentence will be extended by the number of Business Days from, and including, such effective date to, but excluding, the date the Company provides such notice. No later than the Business Day after such effective date, the Company will send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such transaction or event, such effective date and the related right to convert Notes.

- 48 -

(4)           ConversionUpon Redemption. If the Company calls any Note for Redemption, then the Holder of such Note may convert such Note at any time before the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the related Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Company pays such Redemption Price in full). For the avoidance of doubt, the calling of any Notes for Redemption will not constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(5)           ConversionsDuring Free Convertibility Period. A Holder may convert its Notes at any time from, and including, April 5, 2029, until the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes may become convertible pursuant to any one or more of the preceding sub-paragraphs of this Section 5.01(C)(i) and the Notes ceasing to be convertible pursuant to a particular sub-paragraph of this Section 5.01(C)(i) will not preclude the Notes from being convertible pursuant to any other sub-paragraph of this Section 5.01(C)(i).

(ii)           Limitationsand Closed Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes:

(1)           Notes may be surrendered for conversion only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day;

(2)           in no event may any Note be converted after the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date;

(3)           if the Company calls any Note for Redemption pursuant to Section 4.03, then the Holder of such Note may not convert such Note after the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the applicable Redemption Date, except to the extent the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price for such Note in accordance with this Indenture; and

(4)           if a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is validly delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(F) with respect to any Note, then such Note may not be converted, except to the extent (a) such Note is not subject to such notice; (b) such notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02(F); or (c) the Company fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Note in accordance with this Indenture.

- 49 -

Section 5.02.        ConversionProcedures.

(A)          Generally.

(i)            GlobalNotes. To convert a beneficial interest in a Global Note that is convertible pursuant to Section 5.01(C), the owner of such beneficial interest must (1) comply with the Depositary Procedures for converting such beneficial interest (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable); and (2) pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 5.02(D) or Section 5.02(E).

(ii)           PhysicalNotes. To convert all or a portion of a Physical Note that is convertible pursuant to Section 5.01(C), the Holder of such Note must (1) complete, manually sign and deliver to the Conversion Agent the conversion notice attached to such Physical Note or a facsimile of such conversion notice; (2) deliver such Physical Note to the Conversion Agent (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable); (3) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company or the Conversion Agent may require; and (4) pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 5.02(D) or Section 5.02(E).

(B)           Effectof Converting a Note. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note (or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration or interest due, pursuant to Section 5.03(B) or 5.02(D), upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person will be deemed to be a Holder of such Note (or such portion thereof) as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date), except to the extent provided in Section 5.02(D).

(C)           Holderof Record of Conversion Shares. The Person in whose name any share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of any Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on (i) the Conversion Date for such conversion, in the case of Physical Settlement; or (ii) the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion, in the case of Combination Settlement.

(D)           InterestPayable Upon Conversion in Certain Circumstances. If the Conversion Date of a Note is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion (and, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything set forth in the proviso to this sentence), to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion must deliver to the Conversion Agent, at the time of such surrender, an amount of cash equal to the amount of such interest referred to in clause (i) above; provided, however, that the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion need not deliver such cash (v) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; (w) if such Conversion Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date; (x) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; or (y) to the extent of any Additional Interest, Special Interest, overdue interest or interest that has accrued on any overdue interest. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, if a Note is converted with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, then the Company will pay, as provided above, the interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted is on an Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately before such Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that has accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, and such Note, when surrendered for conversion, need not be accompanied by any cash amount pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.02(D).

- 50 -

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

(F)           ConversionAgent to Notify Company of Conversions. If any Note is submitted for conversion to the Conversion Agent or the Conversion Agent receives any notice of conversion with respect to a Note, then the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of such occurrence, together with any other information reasonably requested by the Company, and will cooperate with the Company to determine the Conversion Date for such Note.

Section 5.03.        SettlementUpon Conversion.

(A)          SettlementMethod. Upon the conversion of any Note, the Company will settle such conversion by paying or delivering, as applicable and as provided in this Article 5, either (x) shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.03(B)(i)(1) (a “Physical Settlement”); (y) solely cash as provided in Section 5.03(B)(i)(2) (a “Cash Settlement”); or (z) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.03(B)(i)(3) (a “CombinationSettlement”).

(i)            TheCompany’s Right to Elect Settlement Method. The Company will have the right to elect the Settlement Method applicable to any conversion of a Note; provided, however, that:

(1)           subject to clause (3) below, all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after April 5, 2029, will be settled using the same Settlement Method, and the Company will send notice of such Settlement Method to Holders no later than the Open of Business on April 5, 2029;

(2)           subject to clause (3) below, if the Company elects a Settlement Method with respect to the conversion of any Note whose Conversion Date occurs before April 5, 2029, then the Company will send notice of such Settlement Method to the Holder of such Note no later than the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately after such Conversion Date;

- 51 -

(3)           if any Notes are called for Redemption, then (a) the Company will specify, in the related Redemption Notice (and, in the case of a Redemption of less than all outstanding Notes, in a notice simultaneously sent to all Holders of Notes not called for Redemption) sent pursuant to Section 4.03(G), the Settlement Method that will apply to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the related Redemption Notice Date and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day before the related Redemption Date; and (b) if such Redemption Date occurs on or after April 5, 2029, then such Settlement Method must be the same Settlement Method that, pursuant to clause (1) above, applies to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after April 5, 2029;

(4)           the Company will use the same Settlement Method for all conversions of Notes with the same Conversion Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be obligated to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions of Notes with different Conversion Dates, except as provided in clause (1) or (3) above);

(5)           if the Company does not timely elect a Settlement Method with respect to the conversion of a Note, then the Company will be deemed to have elected the Default Settlement Method (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely make such election will not constitute a Default or Event of Default);

(6)           if the Company timely elects Combination Settlement with respect to the conversion of a Note but does not timely notify the Holder of such Note of the applicable Specified Dollar Amount, then the Specified Dollar Amount for such conversion will be deemed to be $1,000 per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely send such notification will not constitute a Default or Event of Default); and

(7)           the Settlement Method will be subject to Sections 4.03(E) and 5.01(C)(i)(3)(a).

At or before the time the Company sends any notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the Company will send a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, but the failure to timely send such copy will not affect the validity of any Settlement Method election.

- 52 -

(ii)           TheCompany’s Right to Irrevocably Fix or Eliminate Settlement Methods. The Company will have the right, exercisable at its election by sending notice of such exercise to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent), to (1) irrevocably fix the Settlement Method that will apply to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date such notice is sent to Holders; or (2) irrevocably eliminate any one or more (but not all) Settlement Methods (including eliminating Combination Settlement with a particular Specified Dollar Amount or range of Specified Dollar Amounts) with respect to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date such notice is sent to Holders, provided, in each case, that (w) the Settlement Method so elected pursuant to clause (1) above, or the Settlement Method(s) remaining after any elimination pursuant to clause(2) above, as applicable, must be a Settlement Method or Settlement Method(s), as applicable, that the Company is then permitted to elect (for the avoidance of doubt, including pursuant to, and subject to, the other provisions of this Section 5.03(A)); (x) no such irrevocable election or Default Settlement Method change will affect any Settlement Method theretofore elected (or deemed to be elected) with respect to any Note pursuant to this Indenture (including pursuant to Section 8.01(G) or this Section 5.03(A)); (y) upon any such irrevocable election pursuant to clause (1) above, the Default Settlement Method will automatically be deemed to be set to the Settlement Method so fixed; and (z) upon any such irrevocable election pursuant to clause (2) above, the Company will, if needed, simultaneously change the Default Settlement Method to a Settlement Method that is consistent with such irrevocable election. Such notice, if sent, must set forth the applicable Settlement Method(s) so elected or eliminated, as applicable, and the Default Settlement Method applicable immediately after such election, and expressly state that the election is irrevocable and applicable to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date such notice is sent to Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, such an irrevocable election, if made, will be effective without the need to amend this Indenture or the Notes, including pursuant to Section 8.01(G) (it being understood, however, that the Company may nonetheless choose to execute such an amendment at its option).

(iii)          Requirementto Publicly Disclose the Fixed or Default Settlement Method. If the Company changes the Default Settlement Method pursuant to clause(x) of the proviso to the definition of such term or irrevocably fixes the Settlement Method(s) pursuant to Section 5.03(A)(ii), then the Company will, substantially concurrently therewith, either post the Default Settlement Method or fixed Settlement Method(s), as applicable, on its website or disclose the same in a Current Report on Form 6-K (or any successor form) that is filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

(B)           ConversionConsideration.

(i)            Generally. Subject to Sections 5.03(B)(ii), 5.03(B)(iii) and 5.09(A)(ii), the type and amount of consideration (the “ConversionConsideration”) due in respect of each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of a Note to be converted will be as follows:

(1)           if Physical Settlement applies to such conversion, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such conversion;

(2)           if Cash Settlement applies to such conversion, cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion; or

- 53 -

(3)           if Combination Settlement applies to such conversion, consideration consisting of (a) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion; and (b) an amount of cash equal to the sum of the Daily Cash Amounts for each VWAP Trading Day in such Observation Period.

(ii)           Cashin Lieu of Fractional Shares. If Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to the conversion of any Note and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i) upon such conversion is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company will deliver, in addition to the other consideration due upon such conversion, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (1) such fraction and (2) (x) the Daily VWAP on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day), in the case of Physical Settlement; or (y) the Daily VWAP on the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion, in the case of Combination Settlement.

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

(iv)          Noticeof Calculation of Conversion Consideration. If Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to the conversion of any Note, then the Company will determine the Conversion Consideration due thereupon promptly following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period and will promptly thereafter send notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the same and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent will have any duty to make any such determination.

(C)           Deliveryof the Conversion Consideration. Except as set forth in **Sections 5.05(D)**and 5.09, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of any Note to the Holder as follows: (i) if Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to such conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion; and (ii) if Physical Settlement applies to such conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion; provided, however, that if Physical Settlement applies to the conversion of any Note with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, or of any Note that has been called (or deemed, pursuant to Section 4.03(J), to be called) for Redemption, then, solely for purposes of such conversion, (x) the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion on or before the Maturity Date (or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), in the case of a conversion of any Note with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, or the related Redemption Date, in the case of a conversion of any Note that has been called (or deemed, pursuant to Section 4.03(J), to be called) for Redemption; and (y) the Conversion Date will instead be deemed to be the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the date referred to in clause (x).

- 54 -

(D)           DeemedPayment of Accreted Principal Amount and Interest; Settlement of Accrued Interest Notwithstanding Conversion. If a Holder converts a Note, then the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), the Company’s delivery of the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will be deemed to fully satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligation to pay the Accreted Principal Amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding the Conversion Date. As a result, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), any accrued and unpaid interest on a converted Note will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. In addition, subject to Section 5.02(D), if the Conversion Consideration for a Note consists of both cash and shares of Common Stock, then accrued and unpaid interest that is deemed to be paid therewith will be deemed to be paid first out of such cash.

Section 5.04.        Reserveand Status of Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion.

(A)          StockReserve. At all times when any Notes are outstanding, the Company will reserve (out of its authorized and not outstanding shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes) a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the conversion of all then-outstanding Notes, assuming (x) Physical Settlement will apply to such conversion; and (y) the Conversion Rate then in effect is increased by the maximum amount pursuant to which the Conversion Rate may be increased pursuant to Section 5.07. To the extent the Company delivers shares of Common Stock held in its treasury in settlement of the conversion of any Notes, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection therewith will be deemed to include such delivery, mutatis mutandis.

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

- 55 -

Section 5.05.        Adjustmentsto the Conversion Rate.

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

(i)            StockDividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before<br>the Open of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;
CR1 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable;
OS0 = the number<br>of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable,<br>without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and
OS1 = the number<br>of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

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

- 56 -

(ii)           Rights,Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Sections 5.05(A)(iii)(1) and 5.05(F) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the date such distribution is first publicly announced, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR1 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such<br>Ex-Dividend Date;
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants;<br>and
Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise<br>such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive<br>Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.

To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.

For purposes of this Section 5.05(A)(ii) and Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(a)(I), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

- 57 -

(iii)           Spin-Offsand Other Distributed Property.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(z)           a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR1 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive<br>Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable<br>manner), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or<br>warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;
- 58 -

provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received in such distribution if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

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

where:

CR0 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off;
CR1 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period;
FMV = the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital<br>Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off ValuationPeriod”) beginning on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off (such average to be determined as if references<br>to Common Stock in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such<br>Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per<br>share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and
SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the<br>Spin-Off Valuation Period.
- 59 -

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2), (i) if any VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for a Note whose conversion will be settled pursuant to Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate for such VWAP Trading Day for such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such VWAP Trading Day; and (ii) if the Conversion Date for a Note whose conversion will be settled pursuant to Physical Settlement occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such Conversion Date.

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

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

where:

CR0 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR1 = the Conversion<br>Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such<br>Ex-Dividend Date; and
D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution;
- 60 -

provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received in such dividend or distribution if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(v)           TenderOffers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate<br>in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender<br>or exchange offer;
CR1 = the Conversion Rate<br>in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period;
AC = the aggregate value (determined as of the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender<br>or exchange offer expires by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) of all cash and other consideration paid<br>for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer;
- 61 -
OS0 = the number of shares<br>of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange<br>in such tender or exchange offer);
OS1 = the number of shares<br>of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange<br>in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive<br>Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately<br>after the Expiration Date;

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(v), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05(A)(v), (i) if any VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for a Note whose conversion will be settled pursuant to Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate for such VWAP Trading Day for such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date for such tender or exchange offer to, and including, such VWAP Trading Day; and (ii) if the Conversion Date for a Note whose conversion will be settled pursuant to Physical Settlement occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date to, and including, such Conversion Date.

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

(B)           NoAdjustments in Certain Cases.

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

- 62 -

(ii)           CertainEvents. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 5.05 or Section 5.07. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:

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

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

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

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

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

(6)           accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes.

(C)           AdjustmentDeferral. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Article 5 would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, the Company may, at its election, defer and carry forward such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would, had they not been so deferred and carried forward, result in a change of at least one percent (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 (v) June 5, 2029.

(D)           AdjustmentsNot Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:

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

- 63 -

(ii)           the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion (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 Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock (in the case of Physical Settlement) or due in respect of such VWAP Trading Day includes any whole or fractional shares of Common Stock (in the case of Combination Settlement); 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 on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.

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

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

(ii)           a Note is to be converted 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 such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;

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

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

- 64 -

then (x) in the case of Physical Settlement, such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution, but there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (y) in the case of Combination Settlement, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will be made for such conversion in respect of such VWAP Trading Day, but the shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to such VWAP Trading Day based on such adjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(F)           StockholderRights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Indenture upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to potential readjustment in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1).

(G)           Limitationon Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A) or Section 5.07 to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

(H)           EquitableAdjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate the Stock Price or an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), or to calculate Daily VWAPs, Daily Conversion Values, Daily Cash Amounts or Daily Share Amounts over an Observation Period, the Company will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period or Observation Period, as applicable.

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

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

- 65 -

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

Section 5.06.        VoluntaryAdjustments.

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

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

Section 5.07.        Adjustmentsto the Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(A)           Generally. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and the Conversion Date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period, then, subject to this Section 5.07, the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation as provided in, and subject to, the provisions below) to the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

Make-Whole Fundamental<br> <br> Change Effective Date $ 36.750 $ 42.000 $ 46.000 $ 50.000 $ 51.450 $ 58.000 $ 63.000 $ 66.885 $ 70.000 $ 80.000 $ 90.000 $ 100.000

If such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date or Stock Price is not set forth in the table above, then:

(i)           if such Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two dates in the table above, then the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices in the table above or the earlier and later dates in the table above, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and

- 66 -

(ii)           if the Stock Price is greater than $100.000 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 5.07(B)), or less than $36.750 (subject to adjustment in the same manner), per share, then no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 27.2108 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A).

(B)           Adjustmentof Stock Prices and Number of Additional Shares. The Stock Prices in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table set forth in Section 5.07(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Price is adjusted as a result of the operation of Section 5.05(A). The numbers of Additional Shares in the table set forth in Section 5.07(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A).

(C)           Noticeof the Occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change (i) occurring pursuant to clause (A) of the definition thereof in accordance with Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(b); and (ii) occurring pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof in accordance with Section 4.03(G).

Section 5.08.        Exchangein Lieu of Conversion.

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

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

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

- 67 -

(C)           such Note will not cease to be outstanding by reason of such exchange in lieu of conversion;

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

Section 5.09.        Effectof Common Stock Change Event.

(A)          Generally. If there occurs any:

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

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

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

(iv)          other similar event,

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

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

- 68 -

(2)           if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then (I) each conversion of any Note with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event will be settled entirely in cash in an amount, per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of such Note being converted, equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase to such Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.07, if applicable); and (y) the amount of cash constituting such Reference Property Unit; and (II) the Company will settle each such conversion no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date; and

(3)           for these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

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

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

- 69 -

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

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

Section 5.10.        RemainingAccreted Amount Extinguished upon Conversion.

Upon conversion pursuant to this Article 5, the remaining Accreted Principal Amount in excess of the Original Principal Amount converted shall be deemed to be extinguished.

Article 6.     Successors

Section 6.01.        Whenthe Company May Merge, Etc.

(A)          Generally. The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (a “Business Combination Event”), unless:

(i)            the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (or, if such Business Combination Event is an Exempted Fundamental Change, is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other similar entity) (such corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other similar entity, as applicable, the “SuccessorEntity”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Netherlands, and is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(E)) all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; and

(ii)           immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.

(B)           Deliveryof Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee. At or before the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) comply with Section 6.01(A); and (ii) all conditions precedent to such Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.

Section 6.02.        SuccessorEntity Substituted.

At the effective time of any Business Combination Event that complies with Section 6.01, the Successor Entity (if not the Company) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company in this Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

- 70 -

Section 6.03.        Exclusionfor Asset Transfers with Wholly Owned Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6, this Article 6 will not apply to any transfer of assets between or among the Company and any one or more of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that is not effected by merger or consolidation. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any such transfer of assets, the transferee will not succeed to the transferor, and the transferor will not be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

- 71 -

(vii)         a default by the Company or any of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries with respect to any one or more mortgages, agreements or other instruments under which there is outstanding, or by which there is secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed of at least one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company or any of the Company’s Significant Subsidiaries, whether such indebtedness exists as of the Issue Date or is thereafter created, where such default:

(1)           constitutes a failure to pay the principal of such indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, in each case after the expiration of any applicable grace period; or

(2)           results in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable before its stated maturity,

in each case where such default is not cured or waived within thirty (30) days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of Notes then outstanding;

(viii)        the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, either:

(2)           consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

and, in each case under this Section 7.01(A)(ix), such order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least sixty (60) days.

(B)           CauseIrrelevant. Each of the events set forth in Section 7.01(A) will constitute an Event of Default regardless of the cause thereof or whether voluntary or involuntary or 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.

Section 7.02.        Acceleration.

(A)          AutomaticAcceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(A)(viii) or 7.01(A)(ix) occurs with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then the Accreted Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.

(B)           OptionalAcceleration. Subject to Section 7.03, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(A)(viii) or 7.01(A)(ix) with respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Accreted Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. For the avoidance of doubt, if such Event of Default is not continuing at the time such notice is provided (that is, such Event of Default has been cured or waived as of such time), then such notice will not be effective to cause such amounts to become due and payable immediately.

(C)           ContinuedAccretion Following Acceleration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes will, until paid, continue to accrete pursuant to Section 2.21 following the acceleration of the Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes pursuant to this Section.

(D)           Rescissionof Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any acceleration of the Notes and its consequences if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (ii) all existing Events of Default (except the non-payment of Accreted Principal Amount of, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

- 73 -

Section 7.03.        SoleRemedy for a Failure to Report.

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

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

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

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

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

- 74 -

Section 7.04.        OtherRemedies.

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

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

Section 7.05.        Waiverof Past Defaults.

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

Section 7.06.        Cureof Defaults; Ability to Cure or Waive Before Event of Default Occurs.

For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the manner in which any Default can be cured, (A) a Default consisting of a failure to send a notice in accordance with this Indenture will be cured upon the sending of such notice; (B) a Default in making any payment on (or delivering any other consideration in respect of) any Note will be cured upon the delivery, in accordance with this Indenture, of such payment (or other consideration) together, if applicable, with Default Interest thereon; and (C) a Default that is or, after notice, passage of time or both, would be a Reporting Event of Default will be cured upon the filing of the relevant report(s) giving rise to such Reporting Event of Default. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Default that is not an Event of Default is cured or waived before such Default would have constituted an Event of Default, then no Event of Default will result from such Default.

Section 7.07.        Controlby Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Notes, or that, subject to Section 10.01, the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or may involve the Trustee in liability, unless the Trustee is offered (and, if requested, provided with) security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s following such direction.

- 75 -

Section 7.08.        Limitationon Suits.

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

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

(B)           Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding deliver a request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;

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

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

(E)           during such sixty (60) calendar day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding do not deliver to the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Holder’s use of this Indenture complies with the preceding sentence.

Section 7.09.        AbsoluteRight of Holders to Institute Suit for the Enforcement of the Right to Receive Payment and Conversion Consideration.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes (but without limiting Section 8.01), the right of each Holder of a Note to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment or delivery, as applicable, of the Accreted Principal Amount of, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, or any interest on, or the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Article 5 upon conversion of, such Note on or after the respective due dates therefor provided in this Indenture and the Notes, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 7.10.        CollectionSuit by Trustee.

The Trustee will have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iv) of Section 7.01(A), to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the total unpaid or undelivered Accreted Principal Amount of, or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, or any interest on, or Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Article 5 upon conversion of, the Notes, as applicable, and, to the extent lawful, any Default Interest on any Defaulted Amounts, and such further amounts sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation provided for in Section 10.06.

- 76 -

Section 7.11.        TrusteeMay File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee has the right to (A) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) or its creditors or property and (B) collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Each Holder authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.06. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien (senior to the rights of Holders) on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise). Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 7.12.        Priorities.

First:           to the Trustee and its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 10.06, including payment of all fees and compensation of, and all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by, the Trustee (in each of its capacities under this Indenture, including as Note Agent) and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second:      to Holders for unpaid amounts or other property due on the Notes, including the Accreted Principal Amount of, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, or any interest on, or any Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of, the Notes, ratably, and without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts or other property due and payable on all of the Notes; and

Third:         to the Company or such other Person as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.

Section 8.02.        Withthe Consent of Holders.

(A)          Generally. Subject to Sections 8.01, 7.05 and 7.09 and the immediately following sentence, the Company and the Trustee may, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or waive compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, but subject to Section 8.01, without the consent of the Holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, may:

(i)            reduce or cancel any of the Original Principal Amount or Accreted Principal Amount of any Note;

(ii)           change the Maturity Date, the earliest date that can be designated as a Redemption Date pursuant to Section 4.03, the earliest and latest date that can be designated as a Redemption Notice Date pursuant to Section 4.03(E) or the Interest Payment Date of any Note;

(iii)          reduce the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note or change the times at which, or the circumstances under which, the Notes may or will be redeemed or repurchased by the Company, including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to a Fundamental Change;

(x)           reduce the percentage of aggregate Original Principal Amount of Notes, as contemplated in this Section 8.02(A), required to consent to any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification; or

(xi)           make any direct or indirect change to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification provision of this Indenture or the Notes that requires the consent of Holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding.

This Section 8.02(A) shall not limit the Company’s ability to enter into a supplemental indenture, as contemplated in Section 5.09.

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

Section 8.03.        Noticeof Amendments, Supplements and Waivers.

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

Section 8.04.        Revocation,Effect and Solicitation of Consents; Special Record Dates; Etc.

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

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

- 80 -

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

(D)           Effectivenessand Binding Effect. Each amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any Default, Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, will become effective in accordance with its terms and, when it becomes effective with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof), will thereafter bind every Holder of such Note (or such portion).

Section 8.05.        Notationsand Exchanges.

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

Section 8.06.        Trusteeto Execute Supplemental Indentures.

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

- 81 -

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

(C)           the Company has paid all other amounts payable by it under this Indenture; and

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

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

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

Section 9.02.        Repaymentto Company.

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

Section 9.03.        Reinstatement.

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

Section 10.01.      Dutiesof the Trustee.

(A)          If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice or actual knowledge of the same, then, without limiting the generality of Section 10.02(F), the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(B)           Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)            the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii)           in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may, without investigation, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel that are provided to the Trustee and conform to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(C)           The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its negligence or willful misconduct, except that:

(i)            this paragraph will not limit the effect of Section 10.01(B);

(ii)           the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(G)           Each provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee (including any provision that affects the liability of, or affords protection to, the Trustee) is subject to this Section 10.01, regardless of whether such provision so expressly provides.

- 83 -

Section 10.02.      Rightsof the Trustee.

(B)           Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

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

(G)           The Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(H)          The permissive rights of the Trustee set forth in this Indenture will not be construed as duties imposed on the Trustee.

(I)            The Trustee will not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution or performance of this Indenture or otherwise.

(J)           Unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received notice from the Company that Additional Interest or Special Interest is owing or, if applicable, accruing, on the Notes, the Trustee may assume that no Additional Interest or Special Interest, as applicable, is payable or, if applicable, accruing.

(K)           The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and will be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities under this Indenture, including as Note Agent.

Section 10.03.      IndividualRights of the Trustee.

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of any Note and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights that it would have if it were not Trustee; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires a “conflicting interest” (within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), then it must eliminate such conflict within ninety (90) days or resign as Trustee. Each Note Agent will have the same rights and duties as the Trustee under this Section 10.03.

Section 10.04.      Trustee’sDisclaimer.

The Trustee will not be (A) responsible for, and makes no representation as to, the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes; (B) accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture; (C) responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and (D) responsible for any statement or recital in this Indenture, the Notes or any other document relating to the sale of the Notes or this Indenture, other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will not be required to deliver such notice at any time after such Default is cured or waived. The Trustee will not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless (A) written notice thereof has been received by a Responsible Officer and (B) such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and states on its face that a Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred.

Section 10.06.      Compensationand Indemnity.

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

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

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

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

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

Section 10.07.      Replacementof the Trustee.

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

The Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

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

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

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

(iv)          the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

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

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

Section 10.08.      SuccessorTrustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another entity, then such entity will become the successor Trustee without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act.

Section 10.09.      Eligibility;Disqualification.

Attn: W. Jones (Nebius Group Administrator)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, notices to the Trustee (other than a notice pursuant to Section 2.12) or any Note Agent must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given upon actual receipt by the Trustee or such Note Agent, as applicable.

The Company or the Trustee, by notice to the other, may designate additional or different addresses (including facsimile numbers and electronic addresses) for subsequent notices or communications.

- 88 -

The Trustee will not have any duty to confirm that the person sending any notice, instruction or other communication by electronic transmission (including by e-mail, facsimile transmission, web portal or other electronic methods) is, in fact, a person authorized to do so. Electronic signatures believed by the Trustee to comply with the ESIGN Act of 2000 or other applicable law (including electronic images of handwritten signatures and digital signatures provided by DocuSign, Orbit, Adobe Sign or any other digital signature provider acceptable to the Trustee) will be deemed original signatures for all purposes. Any person that uses electronic signatures or electronic methods to send communications to the Trustee assumes all risks arising out of such use, including the risk of the Trustee acting on an unauthorized communication and the risk of interception or misuse by third parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the Trustee may, in any instance and in its sole discretion, require that an original document bearing a manual signature be delivered to the Trustee in lieu of, or in addition to, any such electronic communication.

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will be deemed to have been duly given: (A) at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; (B) five (5) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; (C) when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by facsimile, electronic transmission or other similar means of unsecured electronic communication; and (D) the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery.

All notices or communications required to be made to a Holder pursuant to this Indenture must be made in writing and will be deemed to be duly sent or given in writing if mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to its address shown on the Register; provided, however, that a notice or communication to a Holder of a Global Note shall instead be sent pursuant to the Depositary Procedures (in which case, such notice will be deemed to be duly sent or given in writing). The failure to send a notice or communication to a Holder, or any defect in such notice or communication, will not affect its sufficiency with respect to any other Holder.

If the Trustee is then acting as the Depositary’s custodian for the Notes, then, at the reasonable request of the Company to the Trustee, the Trustee will cause any notice prepared by the Company to be sent to any Holder(s) pursuant to the Depositary Procedures, provided such request is evidenced in a Company Order delivered, together with the text of such notice, to the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days before the date such notice is to be so sent.

Stated Interest on each Note will (i) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which Stated Interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no Stated Interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the date set forth in the certificate representing such Note as the date from, and including, which Stated Interest will begin to accrue in such circumstance) to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Stated Interest; and (ii) be, subject to Sections 4.02(D), 4.03(F) and 5.02(D) (but without duplication of any payment of interest), payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on the first Interest Payment Date set forth in the certificate representing such Note, to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date. Stated Interest, and, if applicable, Additional Interest and Special Interest, on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(B)            DefaultedAmounts. If the Company fails to pay any cash amount (a “Defaulted Amount”) payable on a Note on or before the due date therefor as provided in this Indenture, then, regardless of whether such failure constitutes an Event of Default, (i) such Defaulted Amount will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of such Note otherwise entitled to such payment; (ii) to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”) will accrue on such Defaulted Amount at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which Stated Interest accrues, from, and including, such due date to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest; and (iii) such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest will be paid as provided either in clause (i) or (ii) below, at the Company’s election.

(C)            Delayof Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day.

Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a day on which the applicable place of payment is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed will be deemed not to be a “Business Day.”

(D)            SpecialProvision for Global Notes. If the first date on which any Additional Interest or Special Interest begins to accrue on a Global Note is on or after the fifth (5th) Business Day before a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the amount thereof accruing in respect of the period from, and including, such first date to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date but will instead be deemed to accrue (without duplication) entirely on such Interest Payment Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no interest will accrue as a result of the related delay).

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

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

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

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

Without limiting the generality of Section 2.18, in determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate Original Principal Amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates will be deemed not to be outstanding; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.17.      TemporaryNotes.

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

Subject to Section 3.04(C), any Additional Interest that accrues on a Note pursuant to Section 3.04(A) 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 one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Original Principal Amount thereof for the first ninety (90) days on which Additional Interest accrues and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the Original Principal Amount thereof; provided, however, that in no event will Additional Interest (excluding any interest that accrues on any Deferred Additional Interest pursuant to Section 3.04(C)), together with any Special Interest, accrue on any day on a Note at a combined rate per annum that exceeds one half of one percent (0.50%). For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Interest that accrues on a Note will be in addition to the Stated Interest that accrues on such Note and, subject to the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence, in addition to any Special Interest that accrues on such Note.

(C)            Deferralof Additional Interest.

(i)            Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04, but subject to Section 3.04(C)(iii), Additional Interest that accrues on any Note for any period on or after the De-Legending Deadline Date of such Note will not be payable on any Interest Payment Date occurring on or after such De-Legending Deadline Date unless (1) a Holder (or an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note) has delivered to the Company and the Trustee, no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day before the Regular Record Date immediately before such Interest Payment Date, a written notice (a “Deferred Additional Interest Demand Request”) demanding payment of Additional Interest; or (2) the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects, by sending notice of such election (a “Noticeof Election to Pay Deferred Additional Interest”) to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) before such Regular Record Date, to pay such Additional Interest on such Interest Payment Date (any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest that, in accordance with this sentence, is not paid on such Interest Payment Date being “Deferred Additional Interest”). Without further action by the Company or any other Person, interest will accrue on such Deferred Additional Interest from, and including, such Interest Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which Stated Interest accrues on the Notes to, but excluding, the date on which such Deferred Additional Interest, together with accrued interest thereon, is paid. Once any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest becomes payable on an Interest Payment Date (whether as a result of the delivery of a written notice pursuant to clause (1) above or, if earlier, the Company’s election to pay the same pursuant to clause (2) above), Additional Interest will thereafter not be subject to deferral pursuant to this Section 3.04(C).

(ii)            InterpretiveProvisions. Each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to any accrued interest (including in the definitions of the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note) or to any accrued Additional Interest includes, to the extent applicable, and without duplication, any Deferred Additional Interest, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to pay any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest on an Interest Payment Date will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes if such payment is deferred in accordance with Section 3.04(C)(i). Otherwise, such a failure to pay will be subject to Section 7.01(A)(ii).

- 31 -

(iii)            Paymentor Extinguishment Upon Maturity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if (1) any unpaid Deferred Additional Interest exists on any Notes as of the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) no Holder (or owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note) has delivered a Deferred Additional Interest Demand Request in the manner set forth in Section 3.04(C)(i) on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day before such Regular Record Date; and (3) the Company has not sent a Notice of Election to Pay Deferred Additional Interest in the manner set forth in Section 3.04(C)(i) before such Regular Record Date, then Deferred Additional Interest on each Note then outstanding will cease to accrue, and all Deferred Additional Interest, together with interest thereon, on such Note will be deemed to be extinguished on the following date: (a) if such Note is to be Converted, the Conversion Date for such Conversion (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Conversion Consideration therefor need not include, and the amount referred to in clause (i) of Section 5.02(D) need not include, the payment of any such Deferred Additional Interest or any interest thereon); and (b) in all other cases, the later of (x) the Maturity Date and (y) the first date on which the Company has repaid the Accreted Principal Amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest (other than such Deferred Additional Interest and any interest thereon) on, such Note in full.

(D)            Noticeof Accrual of Additional Interest; Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Company will send notice to the Holder of each Note, and to the Trustee, of the commencement and termination of any period in which Additional Interest accrues on such Note, except that no such notice is required in respect of any Additional Interest that is deferred in accordance with Section 3.04(C). In addition, if Additional Interest accrues on any Note, then, no later than five (5) Business Days before each date on which such Additional Interest is to be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company is obligated to pay Additional Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and (ii) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable on such date of payment. The Trustee (x) will have no duty to determine whether any Additional Interest is payable (or whether the same is deferred or is accruing interest) or the amount thereof and (y) may assume (without inquiry) that no Additional Interest is payable or has been deferred unless and until the Company delivers such Officer’s Certificate.

(E)            ExclusiveRemedy. The accrual of Additional Interest will be the exclusive remedy available to Holders for the failure of their Notes to become Freely Tradable.

Section 3.05.      Complianceand Default Certificates.

(A)            AnnualCompliance Certificate. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the last day of each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the first such fiscal year ending after the date of this Indenture, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating (i) that the signatory thereto has supervised a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during such fiscal year with a view towards determining whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred; and (ii) whether, to such signatory’s knowledge, a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing (and, if so, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

- 32 -

(B)            DefaultCertificate. If a Default or Event of Default occurs, then the Company will, within thirty (30) days after its first occurrence, deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee describing the same and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to deliver such Officer’s Certificate at any time after such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived.

Section 3.06.      Stay,Extension and Usury Laws.

To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee by this Indenture, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 3.07.      Acquisitionof Notes by the Company and its Affiliates.

Without limiting the generality of Section 2.18, Notes that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have purchased or otherwise acquired will be deemed to remain outstanding (except to the extent provided in Section 2.16) until such time as such Notes are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 3.08.      Existence.

Subject to Article 6, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

Section 3.09.      AdditionalAmounts.

- 33 -

(i)            for or on account of:

(A)            any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for:

(1)            the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a national, domiciliary or resident of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein, other than merely holding such Note or the receipt of payments thereunder;

(2)            the presentation of such Note (in cases in which presentation is required) more than 30 days after the later of the date on which the payment of the Accreted Principal Amount, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price, as applicable, with respect to, and interest on, such Note, together with payments of cash and the delivery of shares of Common Stock (together with payment of cash for any shares of Common Stock that would represent a fractional share) upon conversion of such Note became due and payable pursuant to the terms thereof or was made or duly provided for; or

(3)            the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner to comply with a reasonable and timely request from the Company or any successor of the Company, addressed to the Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, to provide certification, information, documents or other evidence concerning such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, or to make any declaration or satisfy any other reporting requirement relating to such matters, if and to the extent that due and timely compliance with such request is required by statute, regulation or administrative practice of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in order to reduce or eliminate any withholding or deduction as to which Additional Amounts would have otherwise been payable to such Holder and only if and to the extent that such Holder or beneficial owner is legally entitled to provide such information or documentation or to make such declaration or claim or to satisfy such requirement;

- 34 -

(B)            any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(C)            any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments under or with respect to the Notes;

(F)            any taxes imposed, withheld or deducted pursuant to the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet bronbelasting 2021), as amended (or any amended or successor version of the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021), and any current or future regulations thereunder and official interpretations thereof; or

(b) If the Company becomes obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment or delivery under or with respect to the Notes, the Company will timely deliver to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as the case may be, to pay Additional Amounts to Holder on the relevant payment date.

The Company will obtain tax receipts from each taxing authority evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld and timely furnish to the Holders certified copies of tax receipts evidencing payment by the Company. In the event that (i) the taxing authority of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction determines that amounts should have been withheld or deducted in respect of any payments or deliveries under or with respect to the Notes in excess of any amounts that were actually withheld or deducted by the Company or its successor, and (ii) the Company or its successor would have been required to pay Additional Amounts if such amounts had been withheld or deducted, then the Company or its successor shall indemnify each Holder and beneficial owner of the Notes and the Trustee, on an after-Tax basis, for any and all losses incurred as a result of the Company’s failure to make such withholdings and deductions and to pay Additional Amounts (including any Additional Amounts); provided, that, such Holder or beneficial owner shall reasonably assist the Company or its successor in any attempt the Company or its successor may make to seek to secure a reduction or refund of any such amounts, which reduction or refund shall be for the account of the Company or its successor to the extent of any indemnification previously provided to such beneficial owner.

(d) Any reference in this Indenture or the Notes in any context to the payment of the Accreted Principal Amount, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price, with respect to, and interest on, any Note shall be deemed to include any Additional Amounts, unless the context requires otherwise, that may be payable with respect to that amount under the obligations referred to in this Section 3.09.

(e) The Company or any successor to the Company will promptly pay when due and indemnify the Holder or beneficial owner for any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any taxing jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration or enforcement of each Note or any other document or instrument referred to herein or therein or the receipt of any payments with respect thereto.

(f) The foregoing obligations shall survive termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture, any transfer by a Holder or beneficial owner of its Notes, and will apply, mutatis mutandis, for the avoidance of doubt, to any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Company is then incorporated, organized, or resident for tax purposes, or engaged in business or any jurisdiction from or through which any payment or deliveries is made or deemed made and any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein having the power to tax, or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 3.10.      Settlementin Common Stock in the Event of Withholding or Deduction upon Conversion.

In the event that any withholding or deduction (other than any de minimis amount of withholding or deduction in the nature of the costs of issuance of shares of Common Stock) is required by law upon or in connection with any payments of cash upon conversion of the Notes or deliveries of shares of Common Stock (together with payments of cash for any shares of Common Stock that would represent a fractional share) upon conversion of the Notes, whether made in cash, shares of Common Stock or other consideration, the Company shall timely take any reasonable measures to minimize or eliminate such withholding or deduction including but not limited to, by electing to settle the conversion of the Notes solely in Common Stock and not to settle the conversion in cash (in whole or in part). If such withholding or deduction can be eliminated (or reduced to a de minimis amount in the nature of the costs of issuance of shares of Common Stock) if Physical Settlement is the applicable settlement method for a conversion of the Notes, the Company will be deemed to have elected Physical Settlement for all conversions otherwise subject to such withholding or deduction.

(K)            Repurchasein Part. Subject to the terms of this Section 4.02, Notes may be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change in part, but only in Authorized Denominations.

(B)            Rightto Redeem the Notes on or After June 10, 2027. Subject to the terms of this Section 4.03, the Company has the right, at its election, to redeem all, or any portion in an Authorized Denomination, of the Notes, at any time, and from time to time, on a Redemption Date on or after June 10, 2027, and on or before the thirtieth (30th) Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date, for a cash purchase price equal to the Redemption Price, but only if (i) the Notes are Freely Tradable and all accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, has been paid, as of the Redemption Notice Date and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock is equal to or exceeds the product of one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the product of the Conversion Price and the Accretion Ratio on (x) each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption; and (y) the Trading Day immediately before such Redemption Notice Date; provided, however, that the Company will not be entitled to call less than all of the outstanding Notes for Redemption unless the excess of the aggregate Accreted Principal Amount of Notes outstanding as of the time the Company sends the related Redemption Notice over the aggregate Accreted Principal Amount of Notes set forth in such Redemption Notice as being subject to such Redemption is at least one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000).

(C)            OptionalRedemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes.

(i)            If the Company has, or on the next Interest Payment Date would, become obligated to pay to the Holders Additional Amounts that are, in aggregate, more than a de minimis amount, as a result of (x) any change or amendment in the laws or any rules or regulations of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or (y) any change in an interpretation, administration or application of such laws, rules or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency, taxing authority or regulatory or administrative authority of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including the enactment of any legislation and the announcement or publication of any judicial decision or regulatory or administrative interpretation or determination) (a “Change in Tax Law”), in each case of clauses (x) and (y), that is not announced before, and becomes effective after the date of the Issue Date (or, if the applicable relevant taxing jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, on a date after the Issue Date, such later date), the Company may at its option, redeem all but not part of the Notes (except in respect of Holders that elect otherwise as described in sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.03(C)) at the Redemption Price, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Amounts with respect to such Redemption Price; provided that the Company may only redeem the Notes if (x) it cannot avoid these obligations by taking reasonable measures available to it (provided that changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation or tax residency shall not be considered a reasonable measure for purposes of this Section 4.03(C)) and (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from outside counsel of recognized standing in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and a Officer’s Certificate attesting to such Change in Tax Law and obligation to pay such Additional Amounts.

(ii)            Upon receiving a Redemption Notice, subject to the Depositary Procedures, each Holder will have the right to elect not to have its Notes redeemed pursuant to sub-paragraph (iii) of this Section 4.03(C), in which case the Company shall not be obligated to pay any Additional Amounts on any payment with respect to such Notes solely as a result of such Change in Tax Law that resulted in the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts (whether upon conversion, required repurchase in connection with a Fundamental Change, on the Maturity Date or otherwise, and whether in cash, shares of Common Stock, Reference Property or otherwise) after the Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, such later date on which the Company pays the Redemption Price), and all future payments with respect to such Notes will be subject to the deduction or withholding of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction taxes to the extent required by law to be deducted or withheld as a result solely of such Change in Tax Law. The obligations to pay Additional Amounts to any electing Holder for payments made in periods prior to the Redemption Date will continue to apply.

- 42 -

(iii)            Subject to the Depositary Procedures, a Holder electing not to have its Notes redeemed must deliver to the Paying Agent a written notice of election (a “No Redemption Notice”) so as to be received by the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (or such earlier date as shall be required pursuant to the Depositary Procedures); provided that a Holder that complies with the requirements for conversion of its Notes as described in Article 5 will be deemed to have delivered a No Redemption Notice. Subject to the Depositary Procedures, a Holder may withdraw any No Redemption Notice (other than a No Redemption Notice that was deemed delivered as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice withdrawing such No Redemption Notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, such later date on which the Company pays the Redemption Price).  If, in respect of any Holder, such Holder does not deliver a No Redemption Notice (and is not deemed to have delivered a No Redemption Notice), such Holder will have its Notes redeemed without any further action.

(D)            RedemptionProhibited in Certain Circumstances. If the Accreted 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 Redemption Price, and any related interest pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.03(F), on such Redemption Date), then (i) the Company may not call for Redemption or otherwise redeem any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.03; and (ii) the Company will cause any Notes theretofore surrendered for such Redemption to be returned to the Holders thereof (or, if applicable with respect to Global Notes, cancel any instructions for book-entry transfer to the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent of the applicable beneficial interests in such Notes in accordance with the Depositary Procedures).

(E)            RedemptionDate. The Redemption Date for any Redemption will be a Business Day of the Company’s choosing that is no more than fifty-five (55), nor less than thirty-five (35), Scheduled Trading Days after the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption; provided, however, that if, in accordance with Section 5.03(A)(i)(3), the Company has elected to settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after such Redemption Notice Date and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date by Physical Settlement, then the Company may instead elect to choose a Redemption Date that is a Business Day no more than sixty (60), nor less than fifteen (15), calendar days after such Redemption Notice Date.

- 43 -

(F)            RedemptionPrice. The Redemption Price for any Note called for Redemption is an amount in cash equal to the Accreted Principal Amount (as of the Redemption Date for such Redemption) of such Note plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Redemption Date for such Redemption; provided, however, that if such Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Redemption, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Redemption Date is before such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Redemption Price will not include accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, such Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day within the meaning of Section 2.05(C) and such Redemption Date occurs on the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date, then (x) accrued and unpaid interest on Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be paid, in accordance with Section 2.05(C), on the next Business Day to Holders as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Redemption Price will include interest on Notes to be redeemed from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.

(G)            RedemptionNotice. To call any Notes for Redemption, the Company must send to each Holder of such Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent a written notice of such Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”).

Such Redemption Notice must state:

(i)            that such Notes have been called for Redemption, briefly describing the Company’s Redemption right under this Indenture;

(ii)           the Redemption Date for such Redemption;

(iii)          the Redemption Price per each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes for such Redemption (and, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, the amount, manner and timing of the interest payment payable pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.03(F));

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

(v)           that Notes called for Redemption may be converted at any time before the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Company pays such Redemption Price in full);

(vi)          the Conversion Rate in effect on the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption and a description and quantification of any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that may result from such Redemption (including pursuant to Section 5.07);

- 44 -

(vii)         the Settlement Method that will apply to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after such Redemption Notice Date and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day before such Redemption Date; and

(viii)        the CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.

On or before the Redemption Notice Date, the Company will send a copy of such Redemption Notice to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent.

(H)            Selectionand Conversion of Notes to Be Redeemed in Part.

(i)            If less than all Notes then outstanding are called for Redemption, then the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Company as follows: (1) in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Depositary Procedures; and (2) in the case of Physical Notes, prorata, by lot or by such other method the Company considers fair and appropriate.

(ii)            If only a portion of a Note is subject to Redemption and such Note is converted in part, then the converted portion of such Note will be deemed to be from the portion of such Note that was subject to Redemption.

(I)            Paymentof the Redemption Price. Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Redemption Price by the time prescribed by Section 3.01(B), the Company will cause the Redemption Price for a Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 4.03(F) on any Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption must be paid pursuant to such proviso.

(J)            SpecialProvisions for Partial Calls. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to this Section 4.03, and the Holder of any Note, or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note, is reasonably not able to determine, before the Close of Business on the thirty-second (32nd) Scheduled Trading Day (or, if, in accordance with Section 5.03(A)(i)(3), the Company has elected to settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date by Physical Settlement, the tenth (10th) calendar day) immediately before the Redemption Date for such Redemption, whether such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such Redemption, then such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, at any time before the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before such Redemption Date, and each such conversion will be deemed to be of a Note called for Redemption for purposes of this Section 4.03 and Sections 5.01(C)(i)(4) and 5.07. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to (x) any Note that is called for Redemption (or similar language) includes any Note that is deemed to be called for Redemption pursuant to this Section 4.03(J); and (y) any Note that is not called for Redemption (or similar language) excludes any Note that is deemed to be called for Redemption pursuant to this Section 4.03(J). The Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall have no obligation to make any determination in connection with the foregoing.

Article 5.      Conversion

Section 5.01.      Rightto Convert.

(A)           Generally. Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, each Holder may, at its option, convert such Holder’s Notes into Conversion Consideration.

(B)           Conversionsin Part. Subject to the terms of this Indenture, Notes may be converted in part, but only in Authorized Denominations. Provisions of this Article 5 applying to the conversion of a Note in whole will equally apply to conversions of a permitted portion of a Note.

(C)           WhenNotes May Be Converted.

(i)            Generally. Subject to Section 5.01(C)(ii), a Note may be converted only in the following circumstances:

(1)            ConversionUpon Satisfaction of Common Stock Sale Price Condition. A Holder may convert its Notes during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2025, if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock is equal to or exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the product of the Conversion Price and the Accretion Ratio for each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

(2)            ConversionUpon Satisfaction of Note Trading Price Condition. A Holder may convert its Notes during the five (5) consecutive Business Days immediately after any ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (such ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period, the “MeasurementPeriod”) if the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth below, for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than ninety-eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day. The condition set forth in the preceding sentence is referred to in this Indenture as the “Trading Price Condition.”

The Trading Price will be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this Section 5.01(C)(i)(2) and the definition of “Trading Price.” The Bid Solicitation Agent (if not the Company) will have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in writing, and the Company will have no obligation to make such request (or seek bids itself) unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes would be less than ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If a Holder provides such evidence, then the Company will (if acting as Bid Solicitation Agent), or will instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to, determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes is greater than or equal to ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day. If the Trading Price Condition has been met as set forth above, then the Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the same. If, on any Trading Day after the Trading Price Condition has been met as set forth above, the Trading Price per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes is greater than or equal to ninety eight percent (98%) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day, then the Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the same.

- 46 -

(3)            ConversionUpon Specified Corporate Events.

(a)            CertainDistributions. If, before April 5, 2031, the Company elects to:

(I)            distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, so long as such rights have not separated from the Common Stock and are not exercisable until the occurrence of a triggering event, except that such rights will be deemed to be distributed under this clause (I) upon their separation from the Common Stock or upon the occurrence of such triggering event) entitling them, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the date such distribution is first publicly announced, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced (determined in the manner set forth in the third paragraph of Section 5.05(A)(ii)); or

(II)            distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets or securities of the Company or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution per share of Common Stock has a value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced,

then, in either case, (x) the Company will send notice of such distribution, and of the related right to convert Notes, to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent at least thirty-five (35) Scheduled Trading Days before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (or, if later in the case of any such separation of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan or the occurrence of any such triggering event under a stockholder rights plan, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes aware that such separation or triggering event has occurred or will occur); and (y) once the Company has sent such notice, Holders may convert their Notes at any time until the earlier of the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date and the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place; provided, however, that the Notes will not become convertible pursuant to clause (y) above (but the Company will be required to send notice of such distribution pursuant to clause (x) above) on account of such distribution if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder, in such distribution without having to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for such distribution; and (ii) the aggregate Original Principal Amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder on such record date; provided, further, that if the Company is then otherwise permitted to settle conversions of Notes by Physical Settlement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company has not elected (or been deemed to have elected) another Settlement Method to apply, including pursuant to Section 5.03(A)(i)(1)), then the Company may instead elect to provide such notice at least ten (10) Scheduled Trading Days before such Ex-Dividend Date, in which case (x) the Company must settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date occurring on or after the date the Company provides such notice and on or before the Business Day immediately before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (or any earlier announcement by the Company that such distribution will not take place) by Physical Settlement; and (y) such notice must state that all such conversions will be settled by Physical Settlement.

- 47 -

(b)            CertainCorporate Events. If a Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Common Stock Change Event occurs (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, in each case, Holders may convert their Notes at any time from, and including, the effective date of such transaction or event to, and including, the thirty fifth (35th) Trading Day after such effective date (or, if such transaction or event also constitutes a Fundamental Change (other than an Exempted Fundamental Change), to, but excluding, the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date); provided, however, that if the Company does not provide the notice referred to in the immediately following sentence by such effective date, then the last day on which the Notes are convertible pursuant to this sentence will be extended by the number of Business Days from, and including, such effective date to, but excluding, the date the Company provides such notice. No later than the Business Day after such effective date, the Company will send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such transaction or event, such effective date and the related right to convert Notes.

(4)            ConversionUpon Redemption. If the Company calls any Note for Redemption, then the Holder of such Note may convert such Note at any time before the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the related Redemption Date (or, if the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Company pays such Redemption Price in full). For the avoidance of doubt, the calling of any Notes for Redemption will not constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(5)            ConversionsDuring Free Convertibility Period. A Holder may convert its Notes at any time from, and including, April 5, 2031, until the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes may become convertible pursuant to any one or more of the preceding sub-paragraphs of this Section 5.01(C)(i) and the Notes ceasing to be convertible pursuant to a particular sub-paragraph of this Section 5.01(C)(i) will not preclude the Notes from being convertible pursuant to any other sub-paragraph of this Section 5.01(C)(i).

(ii)            Limitationsand Closed Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes:

(1)            Notes may be surrendered for conversion only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day;

(2)            in no event may any Note be converted after the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date;

(3)            if the Company calls any Note for Redemption pursuant to Section 4.03, then the Holder of such Note may not convert such Note after the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the applicable Redemption Date, except to the extent the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price for such Note in accordance with this Indenture; and

(4)            if a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is validly delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(F) with respect to any Note, then such Note may not be converted, except to the extent (a) such Note is not subject to such notice; (b) such notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02(F); or (c) the Company fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Note in accordance with this Indenture.

- 48 -

Section 5.02.      ConversionProcedures.

(A)            Generally.

(i)            GlobalNotes. To convert a beneficial interest in a Global Note that is convertible pursuant to Section 5.01(C), the owner of such beneficial interest must (1) comply with the Depositary Procedures for converting such beneficial interest (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable); and (2) pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 5.02(D) or Section 5.02(E).

(ii)            PhysicalNotes. To convert all or a portion of a Physical Note that is convertible pursuant to Section 5.01(C), the Holder of such Note must (1) complete, manually sign and deliver to the Conversion Agent the conversion notice attached to such Physical Note or a facsimile of such conversion notice; (2) deliver such Physical Note to the Conversion Agent (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable); (3) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company or the Conversion Agent may require; and (4) pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 5.02(D) or Section 5.02(E).

(B)            Effectof Converting a Note. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note (or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration or interest due, pursuant to Section 5.03(B) or 5.02(D), upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person will be deemed to be a Holder of such Note (or such portion thereof) as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date), except to the extent provided in Section 5.02(D).

(C)            Holderof Record of Conversion Shares. The Person in whose name any share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of any Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on (i) the Conversion Date for such conversion, in the case of Physical Settlement; or (ii) the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion, in the case of Combination Settlement.

(D)            InterestPayable Upon Conversion in Certain Circumstances. If the Conversion Date of a Note is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion (and, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything set forth in the proviso to this sentence), to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion must deliver to the Conversion Agent, at the time of such surrender, an amount of cash equal to the amount of such interest referred to in clause (i) above; provided, however, that the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion need not deliver such cash (v) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; (w) if such Conversion Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date; (x) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; or (y) to the extent of any Additional Interest, Special Interest, overdue interest or interest that has accrued on any overdue interest. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, if a Note is converted with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, then the Company will pay, as provided above, the interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted is on an Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately before such Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that has accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, and such Note, when surrendered for conversion, need not be accompanied by any cash amount pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.02(D).

- 49 -

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

(F)            ConversionAgent to Notify Company of Conversions. If any Note is submitted for conversion to the Conversion Agent or the Conversion Agent receives any notice of conversion with respect to a Note, then the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of such occurrence, together with any other information reasonably requested by the Company, and will cooperate with the Company to determine the Conversion Date for such Note.

Section 5.03.      SettlementUpon Conversion.

(A)            SettlementMethod. Upon the conversion of any Note, the Company will settle such conversion by paying or delivering, as applicable and as provided in this Article 5, either (x) shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.03(B)(i)(1) (a “Physical Settlement”); (y) solely cash as provided in Section 5.03(B)(i)(2) (a “Cash Settlement”); or (z) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.03(B)(i)(3) (a “CombinationSettlement”).

(i)            TheCompany’s Right to Elect Settlement Method. The Company will have the right to elect the Settlement Method applicable to any conversion of a Note; provided, however, that:

(1)            subject to clause (3) below, all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after April 5, 2031, will be settled using the same Settlement Method, and the Company will send notice of such Settlement Method to Holders no later than the Open of Business on April 5, 2031;

(2)            subject to clause (3) below, if the Company elects a Settlement Method with respect to the conversion of any Note whose Conversion Date occurs before April 5, 2031, then the Company will send notice of such Settlement Method to the Holder of such Note no later than the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately after such Conversion Date;

- 50 -

(3)            if any Notes are called for Redemption, then (a) the Company will specify, in the related Redemption Notice (and, in the case of a Redemption of less than all outstanding Notes, in a notice simultaneously sent to all Holders of Notes not called for Redemption) sent pursuant to Section 4.03(G), the Settlement Method that will apply to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the related Redemption Notice Date and on or before the second (2nd) Business Day before the related Redemption Date; and (b) if such Redemption Date occurs on or after April 5, 2031, then such Settlement Method must be the same Settlement Method that, pursuant to clause (1) above, applies to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after April 5, 2031;

(4)            the Company will use the same Settlement Method for all conversions of Notes with the same Conversion Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be obligated to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions of Notes with different Conversion Dates, except as provided in clause (1) or (3) above);

(5)            if the Company does not timely elect a Settlement Method with respect to the conversion of a Note, then the Company will be deemed to have elected the Default Settlement Method (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely make such election will not constitute a Default or Event of Default);

(6)            if the Company timely elects Combination Settlement with respect to the conversion of a Note but does not timely notify the Holder of such Note of the applicable Specified Dollar Amount, then the Specified Dollar Amount for such conversion will be deemed to be $1,000 per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely send such notification will not constitute a Default or Event of Default); and

(7)            the Settlement Method will be subject to Sections 4.03(E) and 5.01(C)(i)(3)(a).

At or before the time the Company sends any notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the Company will send a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, but the failure to timely send such copy will not affect the validity of any Settlement Method election.

- 51 -

(ii)            TheCompany’s Right to Irrevocably Fix or Eliminate Settlement Methods. The Company will have the right, exercisable at its election by sending notice of such exercise to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent), to (1) irrevocably fix the Settlement Method that will apply to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date such notice is sent to Holders; or (2) irrevocably eliminate any one or more (but not all) Settlement Methods (including eliminating Combination Settlement with a particular Specified Dollar Amount or range of Specified Dollar Amounts) with respect to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date such notice is sent to Holders, provided, in each case, that (w) the Settlement Method so elected pursuant to clause (1) above, or the Settlement Method(s) remaining after any elimination pursuant to clause(2) above, as applicable, must be a Settlement Method or Settlement Method(s), as applicable, that the Company is then permitted to elect (for the avoidance of doubt, including pursuant to, and subject to, the other provisions of this Section 5.03(A)); (x) no such irrevocable election or Default Settlement Method change will affect any Settlement Method theretofore elected (or deemed to be elected) with respect to any Note pursuant to this Indenture (including pursuant to Section 8.01(G) or this Section 5.03(A)); (y) upon any such irrevocable election pursuant to clause (1) above, the Default Settlement Method will automatically be deemed to be set to the Settlement Method so fixed; and (z) upon any such irrevocable election pursuant to clause (2) above, the Company will, if needed, simultaneously change the Default Settlement Method to a Settlement Method that is consistent with such irrevocable election. Such notice, if sent, must set forth the applicable Settlement Method(s) so elected or eliminated, as applicable, and the Default Settlement Method applicable immediately after such election, and expressly state that the election is irrevocable and applicable to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date such notice is sent to Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, such an irrevocable election, if made, will be effective without the need to amend this Indenture or the Notes, including pursuant to Section 8.01(G) (it being understood, however, that the Company may nonetheless choose to execute such an amendment at its option).

(iii)            Requirementto Publicly Disclose the Fixed or Default Settlement Method. If the Company changes the Default Settlement Method pursuant to clause(x) of the proviso to the definition of such term or irrevocably fixes the Settlement Method(s) pursuant to Section 5.03(A)(ii), then the Company will, substantially concurrently therewith, either post the Default Settlement Method or fixed Settlement Method(s), as applicable, on its website or disclose the same in a Current Report on Form 6-K (or any successor form) that is filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

(B)            ConversionConsideration.

(i)            Generally. Subject to Sections 5.03(B)(ii), 5.03(B)(iii) and 5.09(A)(ii), the type and amount of consideration (the “ConversionConsideration”) due in respect of each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of a Note to be converted will be as follows:

(1)            if Physical Settlement applies to such conversion, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such conversion;

(2)            if Cash Settlement applies to such conversion, cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion; or

- 52 -

(3)            if Combination Settlement applies to such conversion, consideration consisting of (a) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion; and (b) an amount of cash equal to the sum of the Daily Cash Amounts for each VWAP Trading Day in such Observation Period.

(ii)            Cashin Lieu of Fractional Shares. If Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to the conversion of any Note and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i) upon such conversion is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company will deliver, in addition to the other consideration due upon such conversion, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (1) such fraction and (2) (x) the Daily VWAP on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day), in the case of Physical Settlement; or (y) the Daily VWAP on the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion, in the case of Combination Settlement.

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

(iv)            Noticeof Calculation of Conversion Consideration. If Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to the conversion of any Note, then the Company will determine the Conversion Consideration due thereupon promptly following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period and will promptly thereafter send notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the same and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent will have any duty to make any such determination.

(C)            Deliveryof the Conversion Consideration. Except as set forth in **Sections 5.05(D)**and 5.09, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of any Note to the Holder as follows: (i) if Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to such conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion; and (ii) if Physical Settlement applies to such conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion; provided, however, that if Physical Settlement applies to the conversion of any Note with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, or of any Note that has been called (or deemed, pursuant to Section 4.03(J), to be called) for Redemption, then, solely for purposes of such conversion, (x) the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion on or before the Maturity Date (or, if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), in the case of a conversion of any Note with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, or the related Redemption Date, in the case of a conversion of any Note that has been called (or deemed, pursuant to Section 4.03(J), to be called) for Redemption; and (y) the Conversion Date will instead be deemed to be the second (2nd) Business Day immediately before the date referred to in clause (x).

- 53 -

(D)            DeemedPayment of Accreted Principal Amount and Interest; Settlement of Accrued Interest Notwithstanding Conversion. If a Holder converts a Note, then the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), the Company’s delivery of the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will be deemed to fully satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligation to pay the Accreted Principal Amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding the Conversion Date. As a result, except as provided in Section 5.02(D), any accrued and unpaid interest on a converted Note will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. In addition, subject to Section 5.02(D), if the Conversion Consideration for a Note consists of both cash and shares of Common Stock, then accrued and unpaid interest that is deemed to be paid therewith will be deemed to be paid first out of such cash.

Section 5.04.      Reserveand Status of Common Stock Issued Upon Conversion.

(A)            StockReserve. At all times when any Notes are outstanding, the Company will reserve (out of its authorized and not outstanding shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes) a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the conversion of all then-outstanding Notes, assuming (x) Physical Settlement will apply to such conversion; and (y) the Conversion Rate then in effect is increased by the maximum amount pursuant to which the Conversion Rate may be increased pursuant to Section 5.07. To the extent the Company delivers shares of Common Stock held in its treasury in settlement of the conversion of any Notes, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection therewith will be deemed to include such delivery, mutatis mutandis.

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

Section 5.05.      Adjustmentsto the Conversion Rate.

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

(i)            StockDividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

- 54 -

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open<br>of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date<br>of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;
CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open<br>of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable;
--- --- ---
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately<br>before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution,<br>stock split or stock combination; and
--- --- ---
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately<br>after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.
--- --- ---

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

(ii)            Rights,Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Sections 5.05(A)(iii)(1) and 5.05(F) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the date such distribution is first publicly announced, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

- 55 -

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open<br>of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open<br>of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
--- --- ---
OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately<br>before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
--- --- ---
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant<br>to such rights, options or warrants; and
--- --- ---
Y = a number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing<br>(x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices<br>per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before<br>the date such distribution is announced.
--- --- ---

To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants.

For purposes of this Section 5.05(A)(ii) and Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(a)(I), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

(iii)            Spin-Offsand Other Distributed Property.

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

- 56 -

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open<br>of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open<br>of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
--- --- ---
SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive<br>Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
--- --- ---
FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable<br> manner), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options<br> or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution;
--- --- ---
- 57 -

provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received in such distribution if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

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

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close<br>of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off;
CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close<br>of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period;
--- --- ---
FMV = the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the Capital<br>Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off ValuationPeriod”) beginning on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off (such average to be determined as if references<br>to Common Stock in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such<br>Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per<br>share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and
--- --- ---
SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in the<br>Spin-Off Valuation Period.
--- --- ---
- 58 -

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2), (i) if any VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for a Note whose conversion will be settled pursuant to Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate for such VWAP Trading Day for such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such VWAP Trading Day; and (ii) if the Conversion Date for a Note whose conversion will be settled pursuant to Physical Settlement occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period for such Spin-Off, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such Conversion Date.

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

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

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open<br>of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open<br>of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
--- --- ---
SP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such<br>Ex-Dividend Date; and
--- --- ---
D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution;
--- --- ---
- 59 -

provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received in such dividend or distribution if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.

To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(v)            TenderOffers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close<br>of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer;
CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close<br>of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period;
--- --- ---
AC = the aggregate value (determined as of the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender<br>or exchange offer expires by the Company in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) of all cash and other consideration paid<br>for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer;
--- --- ---
- 60 -
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately<br>before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately<br>after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);<br>and
--- --- ---
SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive<br>Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately<br>after the Expiration Date;
--- --- ---

provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(v), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05(A)(v), (i) if any VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for a Note whose conversion will be settled pursuant to Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate for such VWAP Trading Day for such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date for such tender or exchange offer to, and including, such VWAP Trading Day; and (ii) if the Conversion Date for a Note whose conversion will be settled pursuant to Physical Settlement occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the Conversion Consideration for such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date to, and including, such Conversion Date.

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

(B)            NoAdjustments in Certain Cases.

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

- 61 -

(ii)            CertainEvents. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 5.05 or Section 5.07. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:

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

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

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

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

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

(6)            accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes.

(C)            AdjustmentDeferral. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Article 5 would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, the Company may, at its election, defer and carry forward such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would, had they not been so deferred and carried forward, result in a change of at least one percent (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 (v) June 5, 2031.

(D)            AdjustmentsNot Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:

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

- 62 -

(ii)            the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion (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 Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock (in the case of Physical Settlement) or due in respect of such VWAP Trading Day includes any whole or fractional shares of Common Stock (in the case of Combination Settlement); 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 on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.

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

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

(ii)            a Note is to be converted 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 such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;

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

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

- 63 -

then (x) in the case of Physical Settlement, such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution, but there will be added, to the Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (y) in the case of Combination Settlement, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will be made for such conversion in respect of such VWAP Trading Day, but the shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to such VWAP Trading Day based on such adjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(F)            StockholderRights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Indenture upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common Stock, subject to potential readjustment in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1).

(G)            Limitationon Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A) or Section 5.07 to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

(H)            EquitableAdjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate the Stock Price or an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), or to calculate Daily VWAPs, Daily Conversion Values, Daily Cash Amounts or Daily Share Amounts over an Observation Period, the Company will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period or Observation Period, as applicable.

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

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

- 64 -

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

Section 5.06.      VoluntaryAdjustments.

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

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

Section 5.07.      Adjustmentsto the Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(A)            Generally. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and the Conversion Date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period, then, subject to this Section 5.07, the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation as provided in, and subject to, the provisions below) to the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

Make-Whole<br> Fundamental<br> Change Effective Date 36.750 42.000 46.000 50.000 51.450 $58.000 63.000 66.885 70.000 80.000 90.000 100.000 110.000
June 5, 2025 5.0384
June 5, 2026 4.5946
June 5, 2027 3.6920
June 5, 2028 4.2258
June 5, 2029 4.6960
June 5, 2030 4.7754
June 5, 2031 2.9213

All values are in US Dollars.

If such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date or Stock Price is not set forth in the table above, then:

(i)            if such Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two dates in the table above, then the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices in the table above or the earlier and later dates in the table above, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and

- 65 -

(ii)            if the Stock Price is greater than $110.000 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 5.07(B)), or less than $36.750 (subject to adjustment in the same manner), per share, then no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 27.2108 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A).

(B)            Adjustmentof Stock Prices and Number of Additional Shares. The Stock Prices in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table set forth in Section 5.07(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Price is adjusted as a result of the operation of Section 5.05(A). The numbers of Additional Shares in the table set forth in Section 5.07(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A).

(C)            Noticeof the Occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change (i) occurring pursuant to clause (A) of the definition thereof in accordance with Section 5.01(C)(i)(3)(b); and (ii) occurring pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof in accordance with Section 4.03(G).

Section 5.08.      Exchangein Lieu of Conversion.

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

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

- 66 -

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

(C)            such Note will not cease to be outstanding by reason of such exchange in lieu of conversion;

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

Section 5.09.      Effectof Common Stock Change Event.

(A)            Generally. If there occurs any:

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

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

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

(iv)            other similar event,

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

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

- 67 -

(2)            if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then (I) each conversion of any Note with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event will be settled entirely in cash in an amount, per $1,000 Original Principal Amount of such Note being converted, equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase to such Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.07, if applicable); and (y) the amount of cash constituting such Reference Property Unit; and (II) the Company will settle each such conversion no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date; and

(3)            for these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

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

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

- 68 -

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

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

Section 5.10.      RemainingAccreted Amount Extinguished upon Conversion.

Upon conversion pursuant to this Article 5, the remaining Accreted Principal Amount in excess of the Original Principal Amount converted shall be deemed to be extinguished.

Article 6.      Successors

Section 6.01.      Whenthe Company May Merge, Etc.

(A)            Generally. The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (a “Business Combination Event”), unless:

(i)            the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (or, if such Business Combination Event is an Exempted Fundamental Change, is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other similar entity) (such corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other similar entity, as applicable, the “SuccessorEntity”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Netherlands, and is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(E)) all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; and

(ii)            immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.

(B)            Deliveryof Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee. At or before the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) comply with Section 6.01(A); and (ii) all conditions precedent to such Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.

- 69 -

Section 6.02.      SuccessorEntity Substituted.

At the effective time of any Business Combination Event that complies with Section 6.01, the Successor Entity (if not the Company) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company in this Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

Section 6.03.      Exclusionfor Asset Transfers with Wholly Owned Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6, this Article 6 will not apply to any transfer of assets between or among the Company and any one or more of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that is not effected by merger or consolidation. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any such transfer of assets, the transferee will not succeed to the transferor, and the transferor will not be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

- 70 -

(1)            constitutes a failure to pay the principal of such indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, in each case after the expiration of any applicable grace period; or

(2)            results in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable before its stated maturity,

in each case where such default is not cured or waived within thirty (30) days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of Notes then outstanding;

(viii)            the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, either:

and, in each case under this Section 7.01(A)(ix), such order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least sixty (60) days.

(B)            CauseIrrelevant. Each of the events set forth in Section 7.01(A) will constitute an Event of Default regardless of the cause thereof or whether voluntary or involuntary or 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.

Section 7.02.      Acceleration.

(A)            AutomaticAcceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(A)(viii) or 7.01(A)(ix) occurs with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then the Accreted Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.

(B)            OptionalAcceleration. Subject to Section 7.03, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(A)(viii) or 7.01(A)(ix) with respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate Original Principal Amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Accreted Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. For the avoidance of doubt, if such Event of Default is not continuing at the time such notice is provided (that is, such Event of Default has been cured or waived as of such time), then such notice will not be effective to cause such amounts to become due and payable immediately.

(C)            ContinuedAccretion Following Acceleration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes will, until paid, continue to accrete pursuant to Section 2.21 following the acceleration of the Accreted Principal Amount of the Notes pursuant to this Section.

(D)            Rescissionof Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any acceleration of the Notes and its consequences if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (ii) all existing Events of Default (except the non-payment of Accreted Principal Amount of, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 7.03.      SoleRemedy for a Failure to Report.

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

- 72 -

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

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

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

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

- 73 -

Section 7.04.      OtherRemedies.

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

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

Section 7.05.      Waiverof Past Defaults.

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

Section 7.06.      Cureof Defaults; Ability to Cure or Waive Before Event of Default Occurs.

For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the manner in which any Default can be cured, (A) a Default consisting of a failure to send a notice in accordance with this Indenture will be cured upon the sending of such notice; (B) a Default in making any payment on (or delivering any other consideration in respect of) any Note will be cured upon the delivery, in accordance with this Indenture, of such payment (or other consideration) together, if applicable, with Default Interest thereon; and (C) a Default that is or, after notice, passage of time or both, would be a Reporting Event of Default will be cured upon the filing of the relevant report(s) giving rise to such Reporting Event of Default. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, if a Default that is not an Event of Default is cured or waived before such Default would have constituted an Event of Default, then no Event of Default will result from such Default.

Section 7.07.      Controlby Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Notes, or that, subject to Section 10.01, the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or may involve the Trustee in liability, unless the Trustee is offered (and, if requested, provided with) security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s following such direction.

- 74 -

Section 7.08.      Limitationon Suits.

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

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

(B)            Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding deliver a request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;

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

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

(E)            during such sixty (60) calendar day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding do not deliver to the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Holder’s use of this Indenture complies with the preceding sentence.

Section 7.09.      AbsoluteRight of Holders to Institute Suit for the Enforcement of the Right to Receive Payment and Conversion Consideration.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes (but without limiting Section 8.01), the right of each Holder of a Note to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment or delivery, as applicable, of the Accreted Principal Amount of, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, or any interest on, or the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Article 5 upon conversion of, such Note on or after the respective due dates therefor provided in this Indenture and the Notes, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 7.10.      CollectionSuit by Trustee.

The Trustee will have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iv) of Section 7.01(A), to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the total unpaid or undelivered Accreted Principal Amount of, or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, or any interest on, or Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Article 5 upon conversion of, the Notes, as applicable, and, to the extent lawful, any Default Interest on any Defaulted Amounts, and such further amounts sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation provided for in Section 10.06.

- 75 -

Section 7.11.      TrusteeMay File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee has the right to (A) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) or its creditors or property and (B) collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Each Holder authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.06. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien (senior to the rights of Holders) on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise). Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 7.12.      Priorities.

The Trustee will pay or deliver in the following order any money or other property that it collects pursuant to this Article 7:

First:          to the Trustee and its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 10.06, including payment of all fees and compensation of, and all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by, the Trustee (in each of its capacities under this Indenture, including as Note Agent) and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second:      to Holders for unpaid amounts or other property due on the Notes, including the Accreted Principal Amount of, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price for, or any interest on, or any Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of, the Notes, ratably, and without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts or other property due and payable on all of the Notes; and

Third:         to the Company or such other Person as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment or delivery to the Holders pursuant to this Section 7.12, in which case the Trustee will instruct the Company to, and the Company will, deliver, at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such record date, to each Holder and the Trustee a notice stating such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment or nature of such delivery, as applicable.

- 76 -

Section 7.13.      Undertakingfor Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Notes or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court, in its discretion, may (A) require the filing by any litigant party in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit; and (B) assess reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against any litigant party in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such litigant party; provided, however, that this Section 7.13 does not apply to any suit by the Trustee, any suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 7.09 or any suit by one or more Holders of more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 8.02.      Withthe Consent of Holders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, but subject to Section 8.01, without the consent of the Holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, may:

- 79 -

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

(D)            Effectivenessand Binding Effect.

Section 8.05.      Notationsand Exchanges.

If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee or the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

Section 9.03.      Reinstatement.

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

(A)            If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice or actual knowledge of the same, then, without limiting the generality of Section 10.02(F), the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(B)            Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)            the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii)            in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may, without investigation, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel that are provided to the Trustee and conform to the requirements of this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(C)            The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its negligence or willful misconduct, except that:

(i)            this paragraph will not limit the effect of Section 10.01(B);

(B)            Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel; and the written advice of such counsel, or any Opinion of Counsel, will constitute full and complete authorization of the Trustee to take or omit to take any action in good faith in reliance thereon without liability.

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

(G)            The Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(H)            The permissive rights of the Trustee set forth in this Indenture will not be construed as duties imposed on the Trustee.

(I)            The Trustee will not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution or performance of this Indenture or otherwise.

(J)            Unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received notice from the Company that Additional Interest or Special Interest is owing or, if applicable, accruing, on the Notes, the Trustee may assume that no Additional Interest or Special Interest, as applicable, is payable or, if applicable, accruing.

(K)            The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and will be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities under this Indenture, including as Note Agent.

Section 10.03.      IndividualRights of the Trustee.

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of any Note and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights that it would have if it were not Trustee; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires a “conflicting interest” (within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), then it must eliminate such conflict within ninety (90) days or resign as Trustee. Each Note Agent will have the same rights and duties as the Trustee under this Section 10.03.

Section 10.04.      Trustee’sDisclaimer.

The Trustee will not be (A) responsible for, and makes no representation as to, the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes; (B) accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture; (C) responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and (D) responsible for any statement or recital in this Indenture, the Notes or any other document relating to the sale of the Notes or this Indenture, other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 10.05.      Noticeof Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, then the Trustee will send Holders a notice of such Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs or, if it is not actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at such time, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after it becomes actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the Accreted Principal Amount of, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and for so long as it in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will not be required to deliver such notice at any time after such Default is cured or waived. The Trustee will not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless (A) written notice thereof has been received by a Responsible Officer and (B) such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and states on its face that a Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred.

Section 10.06.      Compensationand Indemnity.

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

- 84 -

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

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

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

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

Section 10.07.      Replacementof the Trustee.

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

(B)            The Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from the trust created by this Indenture by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Original Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

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

- 85 -

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

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

(iv)            the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

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

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

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

Section 10.08.      SuccessorTrustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another entity, then such entity will become the successor Trustee without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act.

Section 10.09.      Eligibility;Disqualification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, notices to the Trustee (other than a notice pursuant to Section 2.12) or any Note Agent must be in writing and will be deemed to have been given upon actual receipt by the Trustee or such Note Agent, as applicable.

The Company or the Trustee, by notice to the other, may designate additional or different addresses (including facsimile numbers and electronic addresses) for subsequent notices or communications.

The Trustee will not have any duty to confirm that the person sending any notice, instruction or other communication by electronic transmission (including by e-mail, facsimile transmission, web portal or other electronic methods) is, in fact, a person authorized to do so. Electronic signatures believed by the Trustee to comply with the ESIGN Act of 2000 or other applicable law (including electronic images of handwritten signatures and digital signatures provided by DocuSign, Orbit, Adobe Sign or any other digital signature provider acceptable to the Trustee) will be deemed original signatures for all purposes. Any person that uses electronic signatures or electronic methods to send communications to the Trustee assumes all risks arising out of such use, including the risk of the Trustee acting on an unauthorized communication and the risk of interception or misuse by third parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the Trustee may, in any instance and in its sole discretion, require that an original document bearing a manual signature be delivered to the Trustee in lieu of, or in addition to, any such electronic communication.

- 87 -

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will be deemed to have been duly given: (A) at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; (B) five (5) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; (C) when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by facsimile, electronic transmission or other similar means of unsecured electronic communication; and (D) the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery.

The failure to send a notice or communication to a Holder, or any defect in such notice or communication, will not affect its sufficiency with respect to any other Holder.

If the Trustee is then acting as the Depositary’s custodian for the Notes, then, at the reasonable request of the Company to the Trustee, the Trustee will cause any notice prepared by the Company to be sent to any Holder(s) pursuant to the Depositary Procedures, provided such request is evidenced in a Company Order delivered, together with the text of such notice, to the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days before the date such notice is to be so sent. For the avoidance of doubt, such Company Order need not be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee will not have any liability relating to the contents of any notice that it sends to any Holder pursuant to any such Company Order.

If a notice or communication is mailed or sent in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it will be deemed to have been duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, (A) whenever any provision of this Indenture requires a party to send notice to another party, no such notice need be sent if the sending party and the recipient are the same Person acting in different capacities (and, for purposes of the interpretation of this Indenture, such notice will be deemed to have been duly sent at the time otherwise required by this Indenture); and (B) whenever any provision of this Indenture requires a party to send notice to more than one receiving party, and each receiving party is the same Person acting in different capacities, then only one such notice need be sent to such Person.
