THE SECURITIES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the respective forms set forth in Exhibit A, which Exhibit is incorporated in and made part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange or automated quotation system rule or regulation or usage. The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(a) Restricted Global Securities. All of the Securities are initially being offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A (collectively, “QIBs” or individually, each a “QIB”) in reliance upon a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act and shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Restricted Global Securities, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the securities represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the depositary, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”, and such depositary, or any successor thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co. (or any successor thereto), for the accounts of participants in the Depositary, duly executed

by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Securities Custodian as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

(b) Global Securities in General. Each Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect replacements, exchanges, purchases or conversions of such Securities. Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.13 and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Security, and the Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (1) prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (2) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

(c) Book Entry Provisions. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.01(c), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (1) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (2) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions and (3) shall bear legends substantially to the following effect:

“UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN. THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES

REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

(a) The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be initially authenticated and delivered under this Indenture shall be limited to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount, subject to Section 2.11 and except as provided in Sections 2.06 and 2.07. The aggregate principal amount of Additional Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.11.

(b) Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. Typographic and other minor errors or defects in any such facsimile signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

(c) If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

(d) A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee by manual signature signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

(e) The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 upon receipt of a written order or orders of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (a “Company Order”). The Company Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated, shall provide that all such securities will be represented by a Restricted Global Security and the date on which each original issue of Securities is to be authenticated.

(f) The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

(g) The Securities shall be initially issuable only in book-entry registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

One of the Registrars (the “Primary Registrar”) shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange.

(b) The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, provided that the Agent may be an Affiliate of the Trustee. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, or agent for service of notices and demands in any place required by this Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company may act as Paying Agent (except for the purposes of Section 7.01 and Article 11).

(c) The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar, Securities Custodian and Conversion Agent, and initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture shall be served.

(d) None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security, an Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary, or other registered holder, as the case may be) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to the Holders under the Securities and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures. The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants

and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any transactions between the Depositary and any Agent Member or between or among the Depositary, any such Agent Member and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Security.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or shall impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.

Subject to Section 11.02, a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, interest on, or any cash portion of the Company’s conversion obligation in accordance with Article 5 due upon conversion of the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) to make any such payment. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall, before 12:00 p.m. (noon), New York City time, on each due date of the principal of, interest on, or any cash portion of the Company’s conversion obligation in accordance with Article 5 due upon conversion of any Securities, segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall have no further liability for the money.

Section 2.05 Lists of Holders of Securities.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.13, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate each in the form included in the form of Security attached as Exhibit A hereto, and completed in a manner satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; provided that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.13(a), 3.06, 5.02(d) or 12.05.

(c) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

Section 2.07 Replacement Securities.

(a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the Company, a Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company, the applicable Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as will be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 3, or converted pursuant to Article 5, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay, purchase or convert such Security, as the case may be.

(c) Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto as a result of any Securities, at the request of any Holder, being issued to a Person other than such Holder and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

(d) Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 2.07 are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

(b) If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

(c) If a Paying Agent (other than the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company) holds in respect of the outstanding Securities on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the principal of and accrued interest, if any, on Securities (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after such Fundamental Change Purchase Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, such Securities (or portions thereof, as the case may be) shall cease to be outstanding and cash interest, if any, on them shall cease to accrue.

(d) Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.08, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

Section 2.11 Additional Securities

The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, issue additional Securities (the “Additional Securities”) under this Indenture in the future on the same terms and conditions, except for any differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the Additional Securities; provided that if such Additional Securities are not fungible with the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Securities shall have a separate CUSIP number. The Securities and any Additional Securities shall rank equally and ratably and shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture. No Additional Securities may be issued if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities.

Section 2.12 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, purchase, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, purchase, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall dispose of the cancelled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures or deliver the canceled Securities to the Company upon its request therefor.

Section 2.13 Legend; Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements.

(a) If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set forth on the form of Securities attached as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Legend”), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Security, the Securities so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an Opinion of Counsel if requested by the Company or such Registrar, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the

Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Securities are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that no such evidence need be supplied in connection with the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective and was effective at the time of such sale. Upon (1) provision of such satisfactory evidence if requested or (2) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective and was effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend. If the Legend is removed from the face of a Security and the Security is subsequently held by an Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be reinstated.

(b) A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.13.

(c) Subject to Section 2.13(b) and in compliance with Section 2.13(d), every Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend. Whenever any Restricted Security other than a Restricted Global Security is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or in exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A under the heading “Certificate to be Delivered Upon Exchange or Registration of Transfer of Restricted Securities,” dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Security, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

(d) The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any Security shall cease and terminate when such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). Any Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Security for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.13 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision, by, if requested by the Company or the Registrar, an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Registrar and addressed to the Company and the Registrar, to the effect that the transfer of such Security has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the offer and sale of the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel or registration statement.

As used in Sections 2.13(c) and (d), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of any Security.

(e) The provisions below shall apply only to Global Securities:

(1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for purposes of this Indenture.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part shall be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof; provided that a Global Security may be exchanged for securities registered in the names of any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or such Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after receiving such notice or becoming aware that the Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency,” or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to subclause (A) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to subclause (B) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security; provided further that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.

(3) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(4) Subject to clause (6) of this Section 2.13(e), the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(5) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (2) of this Section 2.13(e), the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(6) Neither Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

(7) At such time as all interests in a Global Security have been converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, such Global Security shall, upon receipt thereof, be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, subject to Section 2.12 of this Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is converted, canceled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Security shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

(f) Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto), any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Security shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, unless such Common Stock has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto), or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Securities that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto), or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent:

THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE LATER OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF AND THE LAST DATE ON WHICH ICONIX BRAND GROUP, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY WAS THE OWNER OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY (OR ANY PREDECESSOR OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY) (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”) ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (C) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY’S AND THE TRANSFER AGENT’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (C) PRIOR TO THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATIONS AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM, AND IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, TO REQUIRE THAT A CERTIFICATE OF TRANSFER IN THE FORM APPEARING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS COMPLETED AND DELIVERED BY THE TRANSFEROR TO THE TRANSFER AGENT. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.

Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this section.

Section 2.14 CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers in notices of purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers.

Section 2.15 Purchase of Securities in Open Market.

The Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law (directly or indirectly, regardless of whether such Securities are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Securities in the open market, by tender offer or exchange offer, by private agreement through counterparties or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives and, in each case, at any price. Any Security repurchased or owned by the Company will be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and may not be reissued or resold by the Company. Any Security surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and shall be promptly cancelled.

ARTICLE 3

PURCHASE UPON FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE

Section 3.01 Purchase at Holders’ Option upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder of a Security shall have the right, at the option of the Holder, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the Securities of such Holder equal to $1,000 principal amount (or an integral multiple thereof) at the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”) specified by the Company pursuant to subsection 3.01(b) that is not less than 30 days nor more than 45 days after the later of the Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Fundamental Change Company Notice.

(b) At least 15 days prior to the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date or, if at such time the Company does not have knowledge of such Fundamental Change or the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Fundamental Change, within three Business Days after the date upon which the Company receives notice or otherwise becomes aware of such Fundamental Change and the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Fundamental Change, but in no event later than the actual Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail a written notice of the Fundamental Change and of the resulting repurchase right to the Trustee, Paying Agent and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”). The Fundamental Change Company Notice shall include the form of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice to be completed by the Holder and shall state:

(1) the events causing such Fundamental Change;

(2) the Fundamental Change Effective Date (or the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date) of such Fundamental Change;

(3) the last date by which the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must be delivered to elect the repurchase option pursuant to this Section 3.01;

(5) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

(6) the Holder’s right to require the Company to purchase the Securities;

(7) the name and address of each Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

(8) the then effective Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate resulting from such Fundamental Change;

(9) the procedures that the Holder must follow to exercise rights under Article 5 and that Securities as to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given may be converted into Common Stock pursuant to Article 5 of this Indenture only to the extent that the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(10) the procedures that the Holder must follow to exercise rights under this Section 3.01;

(11) the procedures for withdrawing a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice;

(12) that, unless the Company fails to pay such Fundamental Change Purchase Price, Securities covered by any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice will cease to be outstanding and interest, if any, will cease to accrue on and after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date; and

(13) the “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other number of the Securities.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Fundamental Change Company Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company. If any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures relating to the purchase of Global Securities.

(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.01(a) upon delivery of a written notice (which shall be in substantially the form set forth in the form of Security attached as Exhibit A under the heading “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice” and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law.

(1) The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice shall state: (A) the certificate number (if such Security is a Certificated Security) of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased (or, if the Security is a Global Security, any other items required to comply with the Applicable Procedures), (B) the portion of the principal amount of the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and (C) that such Security shall be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Securities and in this Indenture.

(2) The delivery of a Security for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been timely delivered to any Paying Agent and not validly withdrawn (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of such Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor.

(3) The Company shall only be obliged to purchase, pursuant to this Section 3.01, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof (provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Security).

(4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to a Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.01(c) shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in whole or in a portion thereof that is a principal amount of $1,000 or in an integral multiple thereof at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.02(b).

(6) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be delivered or withdrawn and such Securities may be surrendered or delivered for purchase in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

Section 3.02 Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.

(a) Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of a properly completed Fundamental Change Purchase Notice from a Holder, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in Section 3.02(b)) thereafter be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Security, provided that an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing (other than a Default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price). Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of:

(1) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided that the conditions in Section 3.01 have been satisfied);

(2) the time of delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.01(c).

Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 5 on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.02(b) with respect to the Securities to be converted.

(b) A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) of withdrawal delivered by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying:

(1) if certificated Securities have been issued, the certificate number of the Security being withdrawn in whole or in part (or if the Securities are not certificated, such written notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures),

(2) the principal amount of the Security or portion thereof (which must be a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(3) the portion of the principal amount of the Security, if any, that will remain subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which portion must be a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

Section 3.03 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

(a) On or before 12:00 p.m. (noon) , New York City time, on the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or if the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount of money (in immediately available funds) sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

(b) If a Paying Agent or the Trustee holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture then, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, such Security will cease to be outstanding, whether or not the Security is delivered to the Paying Agent or the Trustee, and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue, and the rights of the Holder in respect of the Security shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price as aforesaid). The Company shall publicly announce the principal amount of Securities repurchased on or as soon as practicable after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date.

(c) The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture.

(d) If a Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, then interest on the Securities payable on such Interest Payment Date will be payable to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Regular Record Date.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.03 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash to the Company.

Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent, and promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested by such Holder (which must be equal to $1,000 principal amount or any integral thereof), in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.

In connection with any offer to purchase of Securities under Section 3.01, the Company shall:

(a) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to either such Rule), and any other tender offer rules, if applicable, under the Exchange Act;

(b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor or similar schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act; and

(c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer to purchase or purchase of Securities,

all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Company under Sections 3.01 through 3.04 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein. To the extent that compliance with any such laws, rules and regulations would result in a conflict with any of the terms hereof, this Indenture is hereby modified to the extent required for the Company to comply with such laws, rules and regulations.

Section 3.04 Cancellation.

The Company shall surrender any Security purchased by the Company pursuant to this Article 3 to the Trustee for cancellation.

ARTICLE 5

CONVERSION

Section 5.01 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate.

(a) Subject to the obligation and the right of the Company to pay some or all of the conversion consideration in cash in accordance with Section 5.13, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 5, at the option of the Holder thereof, all or a portion of any Security that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount, unless previously purchased by the Company, at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, may be converted into Common Stock prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date only under the following circumstances:

(1) on any date during any fiscal quarter, and only during such fiscal quarter, beginning after June 30, 2013, if the Closing Price per share of Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter was more than 130% of the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Trigger Price”) on each applicable Trading Day;

(2) during any five consecutive Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures described below in Section 5.01(e), for each Trading Day during such five Trading Day period was less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day;

(3) if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 60 calendar days after the date of the first public announcement of such issuance, Common Stock at less than the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the first public announcement of such distribution;

(4) if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such distribution; or

(5) if a Fundamental Change or a Make Whole Fundamental Change occurs or if the Company is a party to a Specified Event, from and after the date that is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction or event and until (i) in the case of a Fundamental Change, 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Business Day

immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, and (ii) otherwise, the earlier of (a) 15 days after the actual date of such transaction and (b) the date of the public announcement by the Company that the transaction will not take place; and

(6) at any time during the period beginning on December 15, 2017 and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at any time.

(b) In the case of a distribution contemplated by clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a), the Company shall notify Holders and Trustee at least 55 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (the “Distribution Notice”); provided that if the Company distributes rights pursuant to a stockholder rights agreement, it will notify the Holders of the Securities on the Business Day after the Company is required to give notice generally to its stockholders pursuant to such stockholder rights agreement if such date is less than 55 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the date of such distribution. Once the Company has given the Distribution Notice, Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time until the earlier of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date or the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a), a Holder may not convert the Securities if as a result of holding the Securities, such Holder will be entitled to participate in such distribution, without having to convert its Securities, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of the Common Stock as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities held by such Holder (calculated on an aggregate basis per Holder). The Company will provide written notice to the Conversion Agent as soon as reasonably practicable of any anticipated or actual event or transaction that will cause or causes the Securities to become convertible pursuant to clauses (3) or (4) of Section 5.01(a).

(c) In the case of a transaction contemplated by clause (5) of Section 5.01(a), the Company will notify the Holders and Trustee as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces the Fundamental Change, Make Whole Fundamental Change or Specified Event (but in no event less than 15 days prior to the effective date of such transaction). If such transaction or event constitutes a Fundamental Change, and if 15 days prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date the Company does not have knowledge of such Fundamental Change or its anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date, the Company shall notify the Holders and the Trustee of such Fundamental Change within three Business Days after the date upon which the Company receives notice or otherwise becomes aware of such Fundamental Change and its anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date, but in no event later than the actual Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Fundamental Change.

(d) For each fiscal quarter of the Company, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013, the Company shall determine, on the first Business Day following the last Trading Day of such immediately preceding fiscal quarter, whether the Securities are convertible pursuant to clause (1) of Section 5.01(a), and, if so, shall notify the Trustee in writing. Upon request of the Conversion Agent, the Company shall provide, or cause to be provided to, the Conversion Agent the Closing Price per share of Common Stock for the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the preceding fiscal quarter.

(e) The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities unless a Holder of Securities has requested such determination; any such requesting Holder of Securities shall provide the Bid Solicitation Agent with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate on such Trading Day. At such time, the Bid Solicitation Agent shall determine the Trading Price of the Securities beginning on the immediately succeeding Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate on such Trading Day.

(f) If the Securities become convertible at the option of the Holder because any of the conditions in Section 5.01(a)(1)-(5) have been satisfied, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing and issue a press release and make such press release available on the Company website.

(g) The conversion rights pursuant to this Article 5 shall commence on the initial issuance date of the Securities and expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, but shall be exercisable only during the time periods specified with respect to each circumstance pursuant to which the Securities become convertible, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures. If a Security is convertible as a result of a Fundamental Change, such conversion right shall commence and terminate as set forth in Sections 5.01(a)(5) and 5.01(c). Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered may not be surrendered for conversion pursuant to this Article 5 prior to a valid withdrawal of such Fundamental Change Notice in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.

(h) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

(i) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 5.01(j) and Section 5.06.

(j) If a Fundamental Change occurs as a result of a Termination of Trading or as a result of the occurrence of one of the events specified in clause (i), (iii) or (v) (without regard to the proviso in clause (v)) of the definition of the term Change of Control (a “Make Whole Fundamental Change”), the Company shall, in each case, increase the Conversion Rate for any Securities surrendered for conversion in connection with such Make Whole Fundamental Change by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as set forth in this Section 5.01(j). A conversion of Securities will be deemed for the purposes of this Section 5.01(j) to be “in connection with” a Make Whole Fundamental Change if the Conversion Notice set forth in the form of Security attached as Exhibit A is received by the Conversion Agent on or subsequent to the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date but before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or in the event the Make Whole Fundamental Change is not a Fundamental Change, the 30^th day after the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date). Any increase in the applicable Conversion Rate shall be determined by reference to the table below and shall

be based on the date on which the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date occurs and the price paid, or deemed to be paid, per share of Common Stock in the transaction constituting the Make Whole Fundamental Change (the “Stock Price”). If holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the Make Whole Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. In all other cases, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the ten Trading Day period, ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date.

The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares, if any, per $1,000 principal amount of Securities by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the Stock Price and the Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date.

The exact Stock Price and Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date may not be set forth in the table, in which case:

(1) if the exact Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the exact Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the earlier and later Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year;

(2) if the exact Stock Price is greater than $90.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Stock Price in the table above), the Company shall not increase the Conversion Rate; and

(3) if the exact Stock Price is less than $23.29 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Stock Prices in the table above), the Company shall not increase the Conversion Rate.

The Stock Prices set forth in the table above will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted in accordance with Section 5.06. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 5.06, other than by operation of an increase in the Conversion Rate upon conversion of Securities in connection with a Make Whole Fundamental Change as described in this 5.01(j).

In no event shall the Conversion Rate exceed 42.9368 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.06; provided, further, in no event, absent stockholder approval required by the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, shall the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion of the Securities exceed the Share Cap. If the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, deliverable upon conversion would exceed the Share Cap, the Company upon conversion shall deliver the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Share Cap per $1,000 principal amount of Securities so converted.

Section 5.02 Conversion Procedures.

(a) To convert a certificated Security, the Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice (which shall be irrevocable) on the reverse of the Security and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent, (4) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 5.04, and (5) pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled, if required.

To convert a Global Security, a Holder must (1) comply with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, (2) pay all transfer and similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 5.04, and (3) pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of those requirements is the “Conversion Date.” Upon the conversion of a Security, the Company shall settle its conversion obligation in the manner set forth in Section 5.13.

The Securities will be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Conversion Date. The Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of such shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period.

(b) Except as set forth in this Indenture, no payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions declared or made on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security prior to the issuance of such shares.

(c) Subject to Section 5.13(d), nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a Holder in whose name any Security is registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Regular Record Date to receive the interest payable on such Security on the related Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities. If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the amount of cash to be paid and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, if any (and the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 5.03), shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of all Securities so converted.

(d) Upon surrender by a Holder of its Securities for conversion, the Conversion Agent may first offer the Securities to a financial institution chosen by the Company (the “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. The Designated Financial Institution shall have the option, but not the obligation (unless separately agreed to by such Designated Financial Institution and the Company at such time), to agree to exchange the Securities for the consideration that the holder of those Securities would have been entitled to receive upon conversion. The Company may, but will not be obligated to, enter into a separate agreement with the Designated Financial Institution which would compensate it for any such transaction. If the Designated Financial Institution exchanges those Securities, it shall deliver through the Conversion Agent such consideration that that the Holder of the Securities would have been entitled to receive upon conversion of the Securities on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period. Delivery to the Holder of such full consideration shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security at maturity whether made by the Company or by the Designated Financial Institution. If the Designated Financial Institution agrees to accept any Securities but does not timely deliver the related consideration determined in accordance with this Indenture, or if such Designated Financial Institution does not accept the Securities as agreed, the Company shall deliver such consideration on the sixth Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period.

(e) In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security. A Security may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such part is an integral multiple of $1,000 and the principal amount of such Security to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 5.03 Fractional Shares.

The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. In lieu of any fractional shares, the Company shall pay an amount in cash determined by multiplying the VWAP of the Common Stock on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

Section 5.04 Taxes on Conversion.

If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any transfer, stamp or similar taxes or duties related to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any, upon such conversion. The Company shall also pay any such tax with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares. The Holder shall pay any such tax or duty which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificate representing the Common Stock being issued or delivered in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duty which will be due because the shares are to be issued or delivered in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

Section 5.05 Company to Provide Stock.

(a) The Company shall, on or prior to the date of this Indenture, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Common Stock.

(b) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive or similar rights of any securityholder of the Company and free of any lien or adverse claim as the result of any action by the Company.

(c) The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list such shares on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed on the applicable Conversion Date.

Section 5.06 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

(a) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as described below, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock and as a result of holding the Securities, in any of the transactions described in Section 5.06(a)(1) (but only with respect to stock dividends or distributions), Section 5.06(a)(2), Section 5.06(a)(3), and Section 5.06(a)(4), and Section 5.06(a)(5) without having to convert their Securities as if they held, per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect for such Securities immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such event. If any dividend, distribution or issuance described below is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted, effective as of the date the Company’s Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to make such dividend, distribution or issuance, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared.

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


		CR₁ = CR₀ X		OS₁
				OS₀

where,


		CR₀		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date of such share dividend or share distribution, or immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(1) shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date.

(2) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the date of the first public announcement of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the first public announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:


		CR₁ = CR₀ X		(OS₀ + X)
				(OS₀ + Y)

where,


CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Ex-Dividend Date;

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

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date.

Any increase made pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(2) shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date of such issuance. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Prices for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such Ex-Dividend Date, and in determining the aggregate price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors).

(3) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, excluding:

(i)

dividends or distributions described in Section 5.06(a)(1) above;

(ii)

rights, options or warrants described in Section 5.06(a)(2) above;

(iii)

Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 5.06(a)(3) shall apply;

(iv)

dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in Section 5.06(a)(4) below; and

(v)

any dividends or distributions in connection with a Merger Event;

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


		CR₁ = CR₀ X		SP₀
				(SP₀ – FMV)

where,

If the FMV (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 5.06(a)(3) is determined by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, the Company’s Board of Directors shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), or if the difference between “SP₀” and “FMV” is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing increase, the Company shall deliver to each Holder (without such Holder having to convert its Securities), in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock receive the distributed property, the amount and kind of distributed property that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date for the distribution.

Any increase made pursuant to the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.06(a)(3) shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(3) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed on a national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:


		CR₁ = CR₀ X		(FMV₀ + MP₀)
				MP₀

where,


		CR₀		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off;

Any increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.06(a)(3) will be made immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day after the last day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. Because the Company will make the increase to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Valuation Period with retroactive effect, the Company will delay the settlement of any Securities where the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Conversion Period occurs during the Valuation Period. In such event, the Company shall pay the cash and deliver any shares of Common Stock (subject to the Company’s right to deliver cash in lieu of such shares of Common Stock) due upon conversion (based on the increased Conversion Rate as described above) on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period.

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


		CR₁ = CR₀ X		SP₀
				(SP₀ – C)

where,



C	=	the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.

Any increase made pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(4) shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), or if the difference between “SP₀” and “C” is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing increase, the Company shall deliver to each Holder (without such Holder having to convert its Securities), for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(5) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:


		CR1 = CR0 X		AC + (SP₁ X OS₁)
				(OS₀ X SP₁)

where,



CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date;

AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time such tender offer or exchange offer expires (the “Expiration Time”);

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.06(a)(5) shall become effective at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the Expiration Date. Because the Company will make the adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the end of the Averaging Period with retroactive effect, the Company will delay the settlement of any Securities where the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Conversion Reference Period occurs during the Averaging Period. In such event, the Company will pay the cash and deliver any shares of Common Stock (subject to the Company’s right to deliver cash in lieu of such shares of Common Stock) due upon conversion (based on the adjusted Conversion Rate as described above) on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the Averaging Period.

(6) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the application of the foregoing formulas would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split or share combination).

(7) To the extent an adjustment or nonoccurrence of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, as the case may be, results in a constructive distribution to beneficial owners of Securities under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company is required to pay any U.S. federal withholding tax as a result of such constructive distribution, the Company may recoup or set-off such payments against any payments (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock) made with respect to the Securities (or any Common Stock received upon conversion thereof) to such beneficial owners.

(8) If the Company has a rights plan in effect upon any Conversion Date, and if the rights provided for in such rights plan have not separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan, upon conversion of Securities, the converting Holder shall receive, in addition to shares of Common Stock, if any, the rights under the applicable shareholder rights agreement. If such rights have separated from the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Section 5.06(a)(3), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(9) If the Company issues rights, options or warrants that are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then (i) the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 5.06(a) until the earliest of these triggering events occurs; and (ii) the Company will readjust the Conversion Rate to the extent any of these rights, options or warrants are not exercised before they expire.

(10) Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards, the Company shall be permitted to increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards, the Company may also increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of the Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of Common Stock or similar event.

(b) In any case in which this Section 5.06 shall require that an adjustment be made following an Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for the purposes specified in this Section 5.06, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 5.08) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company (or other cash, property or securities, as applicable) issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of any cash, property or securities the issuance of which is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such cash, property or securities. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required to be made as of the Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date therefore is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date had not been fixed or such Ex-Dividend Date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

(c) All calculations under this Article 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share, as the case may be, with one half cent and 0.00005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward.

(d) If one or more event occurs requiring an adjustment be made to the Conversion Rate for a particular period, adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors to reflect the combined impact of such Conversion Rate adjustment events, as set out in this Section 5.06, during such period.

(e) [Reserved]

(f) In no event shall the Conversion Rate exceed 42.9368 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in the manner set forth in clauses (1) through (5) of Section 5.06(a); provided further, in no event, absent stockholder approval required by the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, shall the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, issued per $1,000 principal amount of Securities upon any conversion exceed the Share Cap. If the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, deliverable upon conversion would exceed the Share Cap, the Company upon conversion shall deliver the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Share Cap per $1,000 principal amount of Securities so converted.

Section 5.07 No Adjustment.

(a) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that the Company shall carry forward any adjustments which would be required to be made but for this Section 5.07(a), take such carried forward adjustment into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried forward adjustment, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (x) annually on the anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Securities and (y) otherwise (1) upon conversion of any Securities or (2) prior to any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless such adjustment has already been made.

(b) Except as provided in Section 5.06, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase Common Stock or any such security, and no adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required for:

(1)

issuances of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan of the Company providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest and the investment of additional optional amounts of Common Stock under any plan;

(2)

ordinary course of business stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in Section 5.06(a)(5), including structured or derivative transactions, pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Company’s Board of Directors;

(3)

issuances of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase 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)

issuances of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant or right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (3) above and outstanding as of the date of original issuance of the Securities;

(5)

for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(6)

for accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest owed, if any.

(c) To the extent that the Securities become convertible into the right to receive cash in accordance with the provision of Section 5.10, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the amount of cash to be received.

Section 5.08 Notice of Adjustment.

Whenever the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege is required to be adjusted pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment. Unless and until the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.

Section 5.09 Notice of Certain Transactions.

In the event that there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee a notice stating the proposed effective date. The Company shall mail such notice at least 10 days before such proposed effective date. Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in this Section 5.09.

Section 5.10 Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

If any of following events occur (each, a “Merger Event”):

(1) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of Common Stock, other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination,

(2) a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,

(3) a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, or

(4) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), then at the effective date of such transaction, the right to convert each outstanding $1,000 principal amount of Security based on the Common Stock will, without the consent of any holders, be changed into the right to convert each such Security based on the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a Holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or be entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”). If the transaction causes the Common Stock to be converted into or exchanged for the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the Reference Property based on which the Securities will become convertible will be deemed to be the kind and amount of consideration actually received by holders of a majority of the Common Stock that voted for such an election. In all cases, the provisions of this Indenture relating to the satisfaction of the Company’s conversion obligations shall continue to apply with respect to the calculation of the Conversion Settlement Amount, with the Daily Conversion Value, Daily Settlement Amount and the VWAP determined based on a unit of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such transaction; provided, however, that if the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Merger Event, the Conversion Settlement Amount shall equal the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such

Merger Event and settlement shall occur on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company may not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Securities to convert its Securities into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective date of any such Merger Event.

Section 5.11 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article 5 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate, including the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.08, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee immediately after the occurrence of any such event. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value (of kind or amount) of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee makes no representation with respect thereto.

The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to either calculate the Conversion Price or determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein, in making the same and shall be protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate with respect to the same. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in Officers’ Certificate which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.08, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate.

Section 5.12 [Reserved].

Section 5.13 Settlement of Conversion Obligation.

(a) Holders surrendering Securities for conversion shall receive for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities surrendered the Conversion Settlement Amount. Holders may receive such consideration from the Company or from a Designated Financial Institution in accordance with Section 5.02(d).

(b) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, the Company may specify a percentage of the Daily Share Amount that will be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”) by written notice to the Trustee and Conversion Agent. Upon making a determination that a percentage of the Daily Share Amount

will be settled in cash, the Company shall promptly issue a press release and disclose such information on its website prior to the first Trading Day of the applicable Conversion Reference Period. If the Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, the amount of cash that the Company will deliver in respect of the Daily Share Amount of each VWAP Trading Day in the relevant Conversion Reference Period will equal the product of:

(1) the Cash Percentage,

(2) the Daily Share Amount for such VWAP Trading Day; and

(3) the VWAP per share of Common Stock for such VWAP Trading Day,

(such product, the “Daily Net Cash Portion”).

The number of shares that the Company shall deliver in respect of each VWAP Trading Day in the relevant Conversion Reference Period will be a percentage of the Daily Share Amount equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, the Company shall be required to settle 100% of the Daily Share Amount for each VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period with shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that in no event shall the sum of the Daily Share Amounts over the 50 consecutive VWAP Trading Days of the relevant Conversion Reference Period exceed the Share Cap (for the avoidance of doubt, if the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon a conversion of a Security would exceed the Share Cap, the Company will deliver only a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Share Cap and Holders will not receive cash consideration for the number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Share Cap); provided, further, that the Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Section 5.03.

(c) The Company shall determine the Daily Conversion Value, Daily Share Amount and the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, to be issued upon conversion at the end of the relevant Conversion Reference Period. Upon conversion of a Security, the Company shall pay the cash and, if applicable, deliver the shares of Common Stock on the third Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Conversion Reference Period; provided, however, that in no event shall the sum of the Daily Share Amounts over the 50 consecutive VWAP Trading Days of the relevant Conversion Reference Period exceed the Share Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, if the sum of the Daily Share Amounts over the 50 consecutive VWAP Trading Days of the relevant Conversion Reference Period would exceed the Share Cap, the Company shall deliver only a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Share Cap and the converting Holder will not receive cash consideration for the number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Share Cap.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.13(d), no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Security. Accrued interest shall be deemed paid in full by the cash paid and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion, together with any cash payment of such Holder’s fractional shares, rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

Holders of Securities surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Regular Record Date immediately preceding any Interest Payment Date to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the corresponding Interest Payment Date will receive the semi-annual interest payable on such Securities on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion, and such Securities upon surrender must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of such payment (regardless of whether such converting Holder was the Holder on the corresponding Regular Record Date), unless:

(i) such Securities have been surrendered following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding to the Maturity Date;

(ii) the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date which occurs after the Regular Record Date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date; or

(iii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists as of the time of conversion.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, all Holders on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date shall receive and retain the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date regardless of whether such Holder’s Securities are converted following such Regular Record Date.

For the purposes of Sections 5.13(a) and (b), in the event that any of Daily Conversion Value, Daily Share Amounts or Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be determined for all portions of the Conversion Reference Period, the Company’s Board of Directors shall in good faith determine the values necessary to calculate the Daily Conversion Value, Daily Share Amounts and Volume Weighted Average Price, as applicable.

Section 5.14 Adjustment of Prices.

Whenever the Company is required by this Indenture to calculate the Closing Prices, the VWAPs , the Daily Conversion Values or the Conversion Settlement Amount over, or based on, a span of multiple days (including a Conversion Reference Period), the Company will make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when Closing Prices, the VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values of the Conversion Settlement Amount is to be calculated.

ARTICLE 6

SUBORDINATION

Section 6.01 Agreement of Subordination.

(a) The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 6; and each Person holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

(b) The payment of the principal of, interest on, and any cash portion of the Company’s conversion obligation in accordance with Article 5 due upon conversion of, all Securities (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to purchase in accordance with Article 3 and any other payment in connection with the conversion of the Securities) issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Secured Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

No provision of this Article 6 shall prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder.

Section 6.02 Payments to Holders. The Company shall not make any payment with respect to the principal of, or interest on, and any cash portion of the Company’s conversion obligation in accordance with Article 5 due upon conversion of, the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to purchase in accordance with Article 3 and any other payment in connection with the conversion of the Securities), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee and the Paying Agent as permitted by Section 6.05, and shall not purchase or otherwise acquire for value any Securities if:

(a) a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest, rent or other obligations due on any Secured Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Secured Senior Indebtedness for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Secured Senior Indebtedness) (a “Payment Default”); or

(b) a default, other than a Payment Default, on Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (a “Nonpayment Default “) that then permits holders of such Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee and the Agents receive a payment blockage notice (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Company.

The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities upon:

(1) in the case of a Payment Default, upon the date on which such Payment Default is cured or waived or otherwise ceases to exist; and

(2) in the case of a Nonpayment Default referred to in clause (b) above, the earlier of (i) 179 days after the date on which a Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee and the Agents, and (ii) the date on which the Nonpayment Default is cured or waived or otherwise ceases to exist,

unless this Article 6 otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution.

No Nonpayment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee and the Agents shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice (unless such default was waived, cured or otherwise ceased to exist and thereafter subsequently reoccurred).

Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary) or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon all Secured Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness (except payments made pursuant to Article 11 from monies deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities, the Trustee or any Agents would be entitled, except for the provision of this Article 6, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee or any Agents under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Secured Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Secured Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Secured Senior Indebtedness in full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities or to the Trustee or any Agent.

In the event of the acceleration of the Securities because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Trustee, any Agent or any Holder of Securities in respect of the principal of, or interest on, and any cash portion of the Company’s conversion obligation in accordance with Article 5 due upon conversion of, the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to purchase in accordance with Article 3 and any other payment in connection with the conversion of the Securities), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee and the Paying Agent as permitted by Section 6.05, until all Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness of such acceleration.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee, any Agent or the Holders of the Securities before all Secured Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured

Senior Indebtedness, or provision is made for such payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Secured Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Secured Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Secured Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Secured Senior Indebtedness.

Nothing in this Section 6.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee or any Agent under or pursuant to Section 10.07. This Section 6.02 shall be subject to the further provisions of Section 6.05.

For purposes of this Article 6, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares or stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article 6 with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Secured Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Secured Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation, as the case may be) are not, without the consent of such Holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or limited liability company or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or lease of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation or limited liability company upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article 8 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 6.02 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease comply with the conditions stated in Article 8.

Section 6.03 Subrogation of Securities.

(a) Subject to the payment in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, of all Secured Senior Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Secured Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6 (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Secured Senior Indebtedness until the principal and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness. For the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or

distributions to the holders of the Secured Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities, the Trustee or any Agent would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 6, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6, to or for the benefit of the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Secured Senior Indebtedness. No payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article 6, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 6 are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Secured Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

(b) Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Secured Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee, any Agent or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 6 of the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

(c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 6, the Trustee and the Agents, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee, any Agent or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Secured Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 6.

Section 6.04 Authorization to Effect Subordination.

Each Holder of a Security by the Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee or any Agent on the Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 6 and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.03 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Secured Senior Indebtedness or their representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities.

Section 6.05 Notice to Trustee.

(a) The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of (a) all Secured Senior Indebtedness incurred by the Company, including the names of representatives of such holders (if actually known by the Company) of Secured Senior Indebtedness and (b) any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 6 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee and the Agents shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee and the Agents in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and the Agents shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office or at the address for notice set forth in Section 13.02 hereof, respectively, from the Company (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate); and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee and the Agents, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date not fewer than one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or interest on any Security) the Trustee and the Agents shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 6.05, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee and the Agents shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 6 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee and the Agents to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Article 11, and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Article 6.

(b) In the event that the Trustee or any Agent determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Secured Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 6, the Trustee or any Agent may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee or such Agent as to the amount of Secured Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 6, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee or any Agent may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 6.06 Trustee’s Relation to Secured Senior Indebtedness.

(a) The Trustee and the Agents, respectively, in their individual capacities shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 6 in respect of any Secured Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Secured Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 10.11 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any such Agents of any of its rights as such holder.

(b) With respect to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee and the Agents undertake to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 6, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee or the Agents. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness and neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be liable to any holder of Secured Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of Secured Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 6 or otherwise.

Section 6.07 No Impairment of Subordination.

No right of any present or future holder of any Secured Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Section 6.08 Limitation on Subordinated Indebtedness.

The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is subordinate or junior in ranking in any respect to any Secured Senior Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is Unsecured Senior Indebtedness or is contractually subordinated in right of payment to Unsecured Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured.

Section 6.09 Certain Conversions Deemed Payment.

For the purposes of this Article 6 only:

(1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article 6 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of or interest on Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities; and

(2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 5.03), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Security.

For the purposes of this Section 6.09, the term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any class of the Company, or (b) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Secured Senior Indebtedness which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or

delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with Article 6.

Section 6.10 Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 6.05(a) shall not apply to the Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

Section 6.11 Senior Indebtedness Entitled to Rely.

The holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Secured Senior Indebtedness) shall have the right to rely upon this Article 6, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

ARTICLE 7

Subject to Section 5.02 and 5.13(d), accrued and unpaid interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security is registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Principal, interest and Fundamental Change Purchase Price, in each case if payable, shall be considered paid on the applicable date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company) holds, in accordance with this Indenture, money sufficient to pay all such amounts then due. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest in immediately available funds on overdue principal amount and interest at the annual rate borne by the Securities compounded semi-annually, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable on demand. Cash interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

(b) Payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be at the address set forth in Section 2.03(c)) or at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that interest payable on any Global Security shall be paid to the Depositary in immediately available funds; and provided, further, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest on Certificated Securities may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears in the Register; provided, however, that a Holder of Certificated Securities with an aggregate principal amount in $2,000,000 or more will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of such Holder if such Holder has provided wire transfer instructions to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Interest Payment Date. Any wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee will remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.

Section 7.02 SEC and Other Reports.

(a) The Company shall provide the Trustee with a copy of all reports and other information and documents which it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act no later than 15 days after the time such reports are required to be filed with the SEC (after giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act); provided that any such reports, information and documents filed with the SEC pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (or EDGAR) system, or any successor thereto, shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such filings have been made.

(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 7.03 Compliance Certificates.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on or about December 31, 2013), an Officers’ Certificate as to the signer’s knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all terms, conditions and covenants on its part contained in this Indenture and stating whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default. If such signer knows of such a Default or Event of Default, the Officers’ Certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default and the efforts to remedy the same. For the purposes of this Section 7.03, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 7.04 Further Instruments and Acts.

Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

Subject to Article 8, 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 7.06 Rule 144A Information Requirement.

Whether a Person is a beneficial holder shall be determined by the Company.

Section 7.07 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall 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 or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 7.08 Payment of Rule 144 Default Additional Interest.

(a) If, at any time during the six month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the last date of the original issuance of the Securities, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods pursuant to Rule 12b-25 thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K), the Company shall pay an additional interest on the Securities which shall accrue on the Securities at a rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding for each day during such six month period for which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and

is continuing. No Rule 144 Default Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 7.08(a) will accrue after such six month period as provided in this Section 7.08(a), regardless of whether such failure has occurred or is continuing. No additional interest or other amounts will accrue or be payable with respect to the Common Stock, if any, received upon conversion.

(b) If, and for so long as, the Legend related to Rule 144A on the Securities has not been removed, the Securities are assigned a restricted CUSIP or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Persons that were Affiliates of the Company during the immediately preceding three months (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities), in each case, as of the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the Securities, the Company shall pay additional interest on the Securities at a rate equal (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding for the first 90 days of such period and (ii) at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding after the first 90 days of such period. For purposes of calculating additional interest, at such time as the Company notifies the Trustee to remove the Legend from the Securities, such Legend will be deemed removed from any Global Security and an unrestricted CUSIP number for the Securities will be deemed to be the CUSIP number for the Securities.

(c) Rule 144A Additional Interest payable in accordance with 7.08(a) or 7.08(b) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Securities.

Section 7.09 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will maintain an office or agency of the Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent where securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or purchase and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Corporate Trust Office shall initially be one such office or agency for all of the aforesaid purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency (other than a change in the location of the office of the Trustee). If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 13.02.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency.

Section 7.10 Limitations Relating to the NASDAQ Shareholder Approval Requirements.

Prior to entering into a transaction or series of transactions, or taking any other voluntary action, that would require an increase in the Conversion Rate resulting in the Securities becoming convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of any limitations imposed by the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, the Company shall obtain prior stockholder approval in accordance with listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market to the extent required thereunder.

(1) Either (A) the Company is the continuing entity or (B) if the Company is not the continuing entity, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (i) shall be a corporation or limited liability company, organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and (ii) such corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture and the performance or observance of every covenant and provision of this Indenture and the Securities required on the part of the Company to be performed or observed (including, without limitation, the obligation to convert Securities in accordance with Article 5);

effect as if such successor corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, had been named as the Company herein, and, except for obligations the predecessor corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, may have under a supplemental indenture, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities. Section 8.02 shall not apply with respect to a lease under Section 8.01.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 9.01 Events of Default.

(a) An “Event of Default” shall occur if:

(1) the Company shall fail to pay when due the Principal or Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Security, when the same becomes due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, upon repurchase, acceleration or otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article 6; or

(5) the Company shall fail to perform or observe or otherwise comply with any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Securities or this Indenture and such failure shall continue without a cure or waiver for a period of 60 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default specifying such failure; or

(6) the Company shall default in the payment of principal by the end of any applicable grace period or resulting in acceleration of other Indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money where the aggregate principal amount with respect to which the default or acceleration has occurred exceeds $25 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled or such Indebtedness repaid within a period of 30 days after receipt of a Notice of Default, provided that if any such default is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason thereof would be deemed not to have occurred; or

(7) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $25 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) (excluding therefrom any amount covered by insurance as to which the insurer has acknowledged in writing its coverage obligation), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; or

(8) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences as a debtor a voluntary case or proceeding;

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

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(E) files a petition in bankruptcy or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief; or

(F) consents to the filing of such a petition or the appointment of or taking possession by a Receiver; or

(A) grants relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding or adjudicates the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company insolvent or bankrupt;

(B) appoints a Receiver of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company; or

and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code (or any successor thereto) or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Receiver” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

(b) No Event of Default under clauses (5) or (6) of Section 9.01(a) shall occur until the Trustee notifies the Company in writing, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee in writing, of the Default (a “Notice of Default”). A notice given pursuant to this Section 9.01(b) shall be given by registered or certified mail, must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a Notice of Default. When any Default under this Section 9.01 is cured, it ceases.

(c) The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within five Business Days after becoming aware of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, written notice thereof.

(d) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Responsible Officer with responsibility for this Indenture at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company, a Paying Agent, any Holder or any agent of any Holder or unless a Responsible Officer with responsibility for this Indenture acquires actual knowledge of such Event of Default in the course of performing other duties pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 9.02 Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 9.01(a) in respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, declare the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of declaration on all the Securities to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal amount and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(a)(8) or (9) occurs in respect of the Company and is continuing, the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, through the occurrence of such Event of Default on all the Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of Securities. The Company shall promptly notify holders of Secured Senior Indebtedness if payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if:

(i) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived;

(ii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest (calculated at the rate per annum borne by the Securities) on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(iii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(iv) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 10.07 have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, if the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to perform or observe the covenant in Section 7.02 will, for the 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Reporting Default Additional Interest”) on the Securities at an annual rate equal to (i) 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities from the first date of the occurrence of such Event of Default to, but not including, the 90th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 7.02 shall have been cured or waived) and (ii) 0.50% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities from the 91st date following the occurrence of such Event of Default to the 180th day after the first date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 7.02 shall have been cured or waived). In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Reporting Default Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 9.02(b), the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.02(a). If the Company so elects, such Reporting Default Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same Interest Payment Dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities. On the 181st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to a failure by the Company to comply with its obligations pursuant to Section 7.02 is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), such Reporting Default Additional Interest will cease to accrue and the Securities will be subject to acceleration in accordance with Section 9.02(a). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Rule 144 Default Additional Interest is also triggered pursuant to Section 7.08, the interest rate applicable to the Securities under such Section 7.08 shall apply to the Securities pursuant to this Section 9.02(b) and shall constitute the exclusive rate of additional interest applicable to the Securities under such circumstances. In order to elect to pay the Reporting Default Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.02, the Company must notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 180-day period. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.02(a). The provisions of this Section 9.02(b) will not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default.

Section 9.03 Other Remedies.

(a) Subject to Section 10.01(a), if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect payment of the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 9.04 Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default.

Subject to Sections 9.07 and 12.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all Holders of all Securities, (A) waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except an uncured Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or any accrued but unpaid interest on any Security, an uncured failure by the Company to convert any Securities into cash and Common Stock (or cash if the Company so elects) or any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities which, under Section 12.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected; or (B) waive compliance by the Company with restrictive provisions of this Indenture. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases to exist.

Section 9.05 Control by Majority.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the time method and place of conducting any proceeding for 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 or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the Trustee, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 9.06 Limitations on Suits.

(a) A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities (except actions for payment of overdue principal or interest or for the conversion of the Securities pursuant to Article 5) unless:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

(b) No Holder of a Security shall have any right under any provision of this Indenture or the Securities to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Security or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Security.

Section 9.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the principal amount, interest, or Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if any, in respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities and this Indenture (whether upon repurchase or otherwise), and to convert such Security in accordance with Article 5, and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective due dates or for the right to convert in accordance with Article 5, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 9.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default described in clause (1) or (2) of Section 9.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or another obligor on the Securities for the whole amount owing with respect to the Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 9.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may 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 (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Receiver in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.07, and to the extent that such payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or, on behalf of any Holder, to authorize, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 9.10 Priorities.

(a) If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 9 or, after an Event of Default, any money or property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

(1) First, to the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee) for amounts due under Section 10.07;

(2) Second, to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for the principal amount and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such respective amounts due and payable on the Holders’ Securities;

(3) Third, the balance, if any, to the Company.

(b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 9.10.

Section 9.11 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 9.11 does not apply to a suit made by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 9.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. This Section 9.11 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

ARTICLE 10

TRUSTEE

Section 10.01 Obligations of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(1) the Trustee need perform only such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee, however, shall examine any certificates and opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be delivered to the Trustee to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein.

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable (in its individual or any other capacity) 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

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless the Trustee shall have received adequate security or indemnity in its opinion against potential risk, costs and liabilities incurred by it relating thereto.

(e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 10.01.

Section 10.02 Rights of Trustee.

(a) Subject to Section 10.01:

(1) The Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon on any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to Section 13.04(b). The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(3) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys or custodians, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or custodian appointed by the Trustee with due care.

(4) The Trustee shall not be liable (in its individual or any other capacity) for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its discretion or its rights or powers.

(5) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any such action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(6) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(7) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company, and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand from the Company’s own funds.

(8) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default, Event of Default, or Fundamental Change unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Default, Event of Default, or Fundamental Change.

(9) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including, without limitation as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(10) The right of the Trustee to perform or refrain from performing any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

(11) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate.

(12) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 10.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 10.10 and 10.11.

Section 10.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. It shall not be accountable for the Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee or any authenticating agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture.

Section 10.05 Notice of Default or Events of Default.

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of a Security notice of all uncured Defaults or Events of Default known to it within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, within 15 days after it becomes known to the Trustee. However, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and for so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of Holders of Securities, except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of the principal of, or interest on any Security when due or in the payment of any purchase obligation, or the Company’s failure to convert Securities when obligated to convert them.

Any reference herein to interest accrued or payable as of any date shall include any Rule 144 Default Additional Interest and any Reporting Default Additional Interest accrued or payable on such date as provided in the Indenture.
