In connection with the Transaction and in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Issuer and each Holder hereby agree as follows:

(b) For purposes of Section 1(a):

(i) the “Exchange Rate” shall equal the sum of (1) the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) of the Notes as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date and (2) the quotient of (A) 130.00, divided by (B) $9.5214; and

(ii) to the extent the number of Conversion Shares for any Holder results in any fractional shares of Common Stock, such fraction shall be rounded up to the next whole number.

(c) The exchange of the Exchange Notes for the Conversion Shares set forth in Section 1(a) shall be made by (i) the relevant Holder’s surrender, transfer and delivery to the Issuer for cancellation, through the “Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian” procedures of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), of all right, title and interest in and to such Holder’s Exchange Notes and (ii) the Issuer’s issuance and delivery of the Conversion Shares, for the accounts of each such Holder, by causing the Issuer’s transfer agent to reflect in the Issuer’s stock register, as of the Closing Date, such Conversion Shares in the account(s) specified by each such Holder.

(g) Exchange for Own Account. Such Holder is exchanging the Exchange Notes for such Holder’s own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by such Holder and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in a transaction that would violate or cause a violation of the Securities Act (as defined below) or the securities laws of any state or any other applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Exempted Persons shall have any fiduciary or other duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Issuer or any of its affiliates, and no Exempted Person shall be liable to the Issuer or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of any such activities of any Exempted Person.

any interest or expectancy of the Issuer and its affiliates in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time presented to the Exempted Persons, except as provided in Section 6(d)(iv) and to the extent an Exempted Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity, such Exempted Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Issuer or its affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be liable to the Issuer or any of its affiliates (or, for the avoidance of doubt any of their respective direct or indirect stockholders) for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director, officer or direct or indirect stockholder of the Issuer, by reason of the fact that any such Exempted Person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, sells, assigns, transfers or directs such business opportunity to another person or entity or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Issuer or any of its affiliates.

(iii) In addition to and without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(d), a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Issuer if it is a business opportunity the Issuer is not financially able or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Issuer’s business or is of no practical advantage to it or that is one in which the Issuer has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Exempted Person (including any Director Designee) if such opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Issuer and such Exempted Person does not otherwise have or obtain a right in or to such opportunity.

(e) Tax Treatment. The Holders and the Issuer agree to treat the Transaction as tax-deferred for the Holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes (except as to any portion treated as in exchange for accrued interest) and shall diligently defend such position unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

(f) Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and applicable Law, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as soon as practicable, including such actions or things as any other party hereto may reasonably request in order to cause the satisfaction of any of the conditions to such other party’s obligation to consummate the Transaction.
