4.50% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2028

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 4.50% Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), limited, when taken together with the principal amounts of all other outstanding Notes under the Indenture, to the aggregate principal amount of $550,000,000 all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, among the Company, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders of the Notes. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.

In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Required Holders, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Required Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the principal (including the Major Transaction Repurchase Price and Make Whole Amount, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.


Upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the Indenture, the Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

Upon the terms and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert any Notes or portion thereof into shares of Common Stock (or, during the Cash Settlement Period, cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock), at the Conversion Price specified in the Indenture, subject to adjustment from time to time, as provided in the Indenture. Further, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert any Notes or portion thereof into the Major Transaction Consideration in connection with a Major Transaction.
