Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to the Notes and to their transfer and exchange.

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar or Paying Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar or Paying Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations and surrenders, may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations and surrenders; provided, however, that in no event will the Trustee be deemed an agent of the Company for service of legal process. The Registrar shall keep a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Holders of the Notes, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer and exchange of the Notes, and exchange of the Notes into shares of Common Stock (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Indenture. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars or additional paying agents and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar or additional paying agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company or any of its Affiliates may serve as Registrar or Paying Agent.

The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company, the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Guarantor) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company, the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Guarantor acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company or the Guarantor, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 List of Note Holders.

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 the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Subject to Section 2.15 hereof and the other provisions of this Section 2.06, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of the Registrar or co-Registrar pursuant to Section 2.03, (i) the Company shall execute, and the Trustee (or any authenticating agent) shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture and (ii) the Registrar shall record the information required pursuant to Section 2.03 regarding the designated transferee or transferees in the Register. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any co-Registrar or the Paying Agent for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.

The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Note (x) surrendered for exchange into shares of Common Stock (except, in the event only part of such Note is to be exchanged, the portion thereof that is not to be exchanged); (y) in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given and not validly withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the event only part of such Note is subject to repurchase pursuant to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, the portion of such Note that is not to be repurchased); or (z) selected for redemption pursuant to Article VI (except, in the event only part of such Note is selected for redemption, the portion thereof that is not to be redeemed).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.06(b) and Section 2.11. Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note to the Depositary, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the Register.

(d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Notes upon transfer or exchange of Notes.

(e) Transfer Restrictions.

(i) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.06(e) to bear the Restricted Securities Legend (a “Restricted Note”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.06(e) and such legend unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Note, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. If a request is made by a Holder of a Restricted Note to remove the Restricted Securities Legend affixed to the certificate representing such Restricted Note prior to the Free Trade Date of such Restricted Note, then the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Registrar may refuse to effect such removal unless there is delivered to the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Registrar such certificates or other documentation or evidence as the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Registrar may reasonably require to determine that such removal complies with the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. For the avoidance of doubt, any new Note to be issued and authenticated to effect such removal pursuant to the preceding sentence will be subject to the requirements of Section 2.02, Section 13.06 and Section 13.07.

(ii) Except as provided elsewhere in this Indenture, until the Free Trade Date of any Note, any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon exchange thereof, which shall bear the Restricted Stock Legend, if applicable) shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend unless (I) such Notes have been transferred (1) under a registration statement that has become effective under the Securities Act, or (2) in accordance with Rule 144, or (II) such requirement is waived by the Company. The Trustee will be entitled to assume that the Free Trade Date with respect to any Note has not occurred until and unless it has received written notice of its occurrence by the Company.

(iii) No transfer of any Restricted Note will be registered by the Registrar unless the applicable box on the Assignment Form attached to such Restricted Note has been checked and an Officer’s Certificate, Opinion of Counsel and such other information as required by the Registrar or Company confirming that the applicable condition to transfer has been satisfied have been provided.

(iv) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Indenture (including Section 3.08), the Restricted Securities Legend affixed to any Note will be deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.06(e)(iv) and the footnote to such Restricted Securities Legend, to be removed therefrom upon the Company’s delivery to the Trustee of notice, signed on behalf of the Company by one (1) of its Officers, to such effect (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such notice need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel in order to be effective to cause such Restricted Securities Legend to be deemed to be removed from such Note). If such Note bears a “restricted” CUSIP or ISIN number at the time of such delivery, then, upon such delivery, such Note will be deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.06(e)(iv) and the footnotes to the CUSIP and ISIN numbers set forth on the face of the certificate representing such Note, to thereafter bear the “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers identified in such footnotes; provided, however, that if such Note is a Global Note and the Depositary thereof requires a mandatory exchange or other procedure to cause such Global Note to be identified by “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers in the facilities of such Depositary, then (i) the Company will effect such exchange or procedure as soon as reasonably practicable; and (ii) for purposes of Section 3.08(b), such Global Note will not be deemed to be identified by “unrestricted” CUSIP and ISIN numbers until such time as such exchange or procedure is effected.

(f) Legend on the Common Stock. Except as provided elsewhere in this Indenture, any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon exchange of any Notes shall bear the Restricted Stock Legend unless (x) such Notes or such Common Stock, as applicable, has been transferred (i) under a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act or (ii) in accordance with Rule 144, or (y) such requirement is waived by the Company.

(g) The Company and the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of their controlled “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any Note that has been reacquired by the Company, the Guarantor or any of such affiliates.

(h) Any Note (or security issued by the Company in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall be entitled to instruct the custodian for the Depositary (or its nominee) in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms for exchange, and, upon such instruction, such custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number.

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws, ERISA (or, in the case of a governmental plan or a church plan (as described in ERISA Sections 3(32) and 3(33), respectively) any substantially similar federal, state or local law), the Code or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(j) Any shares of Common Stock delivered upon the exchange of any Note to any Person that is not, and has not been at any time during the preceding three months, an Affiliate of the Company shall be issued without any Restricted Stock Legend if (x) such exchange occurs after the Free Trade Date of such Note or (y) such Note otherwise does not, or would not be required hereunder to, bear the Restricted Securities Legend.

Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity bond as may be required by each of them to hold itself and any of its agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note 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 and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are 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 Notes.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.07 as not outstanding.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, the Guarantor, a Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor) holds on the Maturity of the Notes money sufficient to pay such Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.09 Temporary Securities.

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Order. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, temporary Notes shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Notes.

Section 2.10 Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without interest coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 2.11 Form and Dating. (a) The Notes and the corresponding 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 Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, exchange rule, Applicable Procedures or usage. The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

(b) Global Notes.

(i) All of the Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Notes in global form, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as Securities Custodian for the depositary, DTC (such depositary, or any successor thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., or as otherwise instructed by the Depositary duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided (the “Global Note”). A Global Note may be transferred, in whole or in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or its nominee. Beneficial interest in a Global Note may be held directly through the Depositary if such Holder is a participant in the Depositary, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in the Depositary. Transfers between participants shall be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with Applicable Procedures and shall be settled in clearinghouse funds. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Securities Custodian and the Depositary as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures and the provisions of this Indenture.

(ii) Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions, purchases, repurchases or conversions of such Notes. Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with Applicable Procedures and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

(iii) The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture.

(iv) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder thereof.

(v) The Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of Notes represented by a Global Note as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary or by the applicable procedures of such Depositary with respect to such Global Note, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.

(i) If (x) the Depositary for such Global Note notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (y) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable;

(ii) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or

(iii) If the holder of such beneficial interest and the Company agree to such exchange.

Except as provided in this Section 2.11, a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Note to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.

Section 2.12 Exchange Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for exchange (the “Exchange Agent”). The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of the Exchange Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain the Exchange Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations.

The Company may have one or more additional exchange agents. The term “Exchange Agent” includes any such additional exchange agents. The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Exchange Agent in connection with the Notes.

Section 2.13 Further Issues; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, reopen this Indenture and issue Additional Notes with the same terms and the same CUSIP number as the Initial Notes (except for the date as of which interest begins to accrue, the first Interest Payment Date, the Last Original Issue Date, the Free Trade Date and the De-Legending Deadline Date, if any, for such additional Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, provided that if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes shall be identified by a separate CUSIP number or by no CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such Additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order and an Officer’s Certificate, which shall cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 13.07, as the Trustee shall request. In addition, upon the request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel which shall cover the matters required by Section 13.07. In addition, the Company may at any time and from time to time repurchase Notes by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Company shall cause any Notes repurchased by the Company pursuant to the foregoing sentence or otherwise (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other cash-settled derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and such Notes will no longer be Outstanding under the Indenture upon their repurchase.

Section 2.14 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver the Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act and the Trustee) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company, upon written request of the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.15 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered in the Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, interest, if any, or payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, for the purpose of exchange and for all other purposes whatsoever, subject to Section 2.06(h), Section 2.08 and Section 2.11(c), whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.16 CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes shall use restricted CUSIP and ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) until such time as the Restricted Securities Legend is removed pursuant to Section 2.06(b). At such time as the Restricted Securities Legend is removed from such Notes pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the Company will use an unrestricted CUSIP number for such Notes, but only with respect to the Notes from which such Restricted Securities Legend was so removed. The Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices 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 Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Notes, and any action taken in connection with such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

Article III.
Covenants

Section 3.01 Payment of Principal and Interest; Method of Payment. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), on each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes.

(a) The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per year. Interest on the Notes will accrue from and including the initial date of issuance, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date beginning on April 1, 2020 (or beginning on such other date as may be set forth in the certificate representing the applicable Note). Pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 7.02 of this Indenture, in certain circumstances, the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive Additional Interest.

(b) Interest (including Additional Interest, if any) will be paid to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the Close of Business on March 15 or September 15, as the case may be (the “Regular Record Date”), immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.

(c) The Company will pay the principal of certificated Notes at the office or agency designated by the Company. The Company has initially designated a Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as its Paying Agent and Registrar as a place where Notes may be presented for payment for or registration of transfer. The Company will pay any interest on any certificated Note to the Holder of such Note (i) if such Holder holds $2,000,000 or less aggregate principal amount of Notes, by check mailed to such Holder’s registered address, and (ii) if such Holder holds more than $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, (A) by check mailed to such Holder’s registered address or, (B) if such Holder delivers to the Registrar a written request that the Company make such payments by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, for each interest payment corresponding to each Regular Record Date occurring during the period beginning on the date on which such Holder delivered such request and ending on the date, if any, on which such Holder delivers to the Registrar a written instruction to the contrary, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by such Holder.

The Company shall pay the principal of, and interest on, Global Notes in immediately available funds to the Depositary.

Section 3.02 Provisions as to Paying Agent.

(a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, or if the Trustee shall appoint such a Paying Agent, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.02 that such Paying Agent will, during the continuance of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent as such.

The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (excluding any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to), or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum (in funds which are immediately available on the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided, however, that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit shall be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on such date.

(b) If the Company or the Guarantor shall act as the Company’s own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor under the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes when the same shall become due and payable.

(c) Anything in this Section 3.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 3.02, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained, and upon such payment by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

(d) Anything in this Section 3.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 3.02 is subject to Section 9.03.

(e) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the actions of any other Paying Agents (including the Company or the Guarantor if acting as the Company’s own Paying Agent) and shall have no control of any funds held by such other Paying Agents.

Section 3.03 SEC Filings and Reports. The Guarantor covenants that any documents or reports that the Guarantor is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed by the Guarantor (with a copy to the Trustee) within 15 calendar days after the same are required to be filed with the SEC (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act or any other similar or successor provision). Documents filed by the Guarantor pursuant to the SEC’s “EDGAR” system (or any successor thereto or replacement system thereof) shall be deemed to constitute “filing” with the Trustee as of the time such documents are filed for purposes of this Section 3.03.

Delivery of the documents or reports referred to in the preceding paragraph to the Trustee is for information purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of the same shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Guarantor’s or the Company’s compliance with an of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content or any such document or report.

Section 3.04 Additional Interest. If at any time Additional Interest becomes payable by the Company, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect and stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to such Additional Interest, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

Section 3.05 Compliance Certificate.

To the extent any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company, the Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company and the Guarantor have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their respective obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his/her knowledge, each of the Company and the Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which the Officer may have knowledge).

Section 3.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Notes; and each of the Company and the Guarantor (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 has been enacted.

Section 3.07 Delivery of Certain Information. If, at any time, when neither the Company nor the Guarantor is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company or the Guarantor shall, so long as any of the Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange thereof will, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, upon the request of any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of the Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of the Notes, furnish to such Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of the Notes or such shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from time to time. The Company and the Guarantor will take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes may reasonably request to the extent from time to time required to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Notes or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time.

Section 3.08 Rule 144 Additional Interest.

(a) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the Last Original Issuance Date of any Note, the Guarantor fails to timely file any document or report that it 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 thereunder and other than reports on Form 8-K), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on such Note. Such Additional Interest shall accrue on such Note at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of such Note that is then outstanding for each day during such period for which such failure to file has occurred and is continuing. As used in this Section 3.08(a), documents or reports that the Guarantor is required to “file” with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act do not include documents or reports that the Guarantor furnishes to the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(b) If, and for so long as, the Restricted Securities Legend on any Note specified in Section 2.06 has not been removed (or deemed removed pursuant to Section 2.06(e)(iv)), such Note is identified by a restricted CUSIP number or such Note is not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 without restrictions by a Holder that is not, and has not been at any time during the preceding three months, an Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes) as of the De-Legending Deadline Date of such Note (each, a “De-Legending Failure”), then the Company shall pay Additional Interest on such Note, for each day on or after such De-Legending Deadline and on which such De-Legending Failure is continuing, at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of such Note outstanding until the restrictive legend on such Note has been removed (or deemed removed pursuant to Section 2.06(e)(iv)), such Note is assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and such Note is freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 without restrictions by a Holder that is not, and has not been at any time during the preceding three months, an Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes).

(c) Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 3.08 (“Rule 144 Additional Interest”) shall be in addition to any Additional Interest payable under Section 7.02.

(d) The Initial Notes shall be issued initially with a restricted CUSIP number.

(e) Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 3.08 will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, in no event will the combined rate of Rule 144 Additional Interest and Reporting Additional Interest exceed 0.50% per annum regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.

(g) Whenever Additional Interest is accruing on a Record Date, the Company will pay all accrued and unpaid Additional Interest to the Holders of record on such Record Date on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. If Additional Interest is not accruing on a Record Date, but has accrued since the immediately preceding Record Date, the Company shall pay any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to the latter Record Date to Holders of record on the latter Record Date.

(h) If the Company is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders, the Company shall provide a direction or order in the form of a Company Order to the Trustee (and if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, to the Paying Agent) of the Company’s obligation to pay such Additional Interest no later than two Business Days prior to the date on which any such Additional Interest is scheduled to be paid. Such notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date and direct the Trustee (or, if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, to the Paying Agent) to make payment to the extent it receives funds from the Company to do so. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether the Additional Interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of the Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest.

Article IV.
Repurchase at Option of the Holder

Section 4.01 Repurchase at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, the Holders shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on a Business Day (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days and not more than 35 Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice at a Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, in which case (i) the Company will pay, on or before such Interest Payment Date, the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date; and (ii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will not include such accrued and unpaid interest. Any Notes repurchased by the Company will be paid for in cash.

Repurchases of Notes under this Section 4.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) if the Notes are held in certificated form, delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note or, if the Notes are Global Notes, a notice that complies with the Applicable Procedures, prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law; and

(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes (together with all necessary endorsements) to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 4.01 only if the Note so delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:

(A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder in accordance with Section 4.01(d).

The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 4.01.

Any certificated Note that is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such certificated Note without service charge, a new certificated Note or new certificated Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the certificated Note so surrendered.

(b) After the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, but on or before the 15^th day following such occurrence, the Company shall provide to all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the resulting repurchase right, if any, at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof.

Each Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change and whether such Fundamental Change also constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change;

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise its repurchase rights under Section 4.01, if applicable;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Exchange Agent, if applicable;

(vii) that the Notes are eligible to be exchanged, the applicable Exchange Rate and any related adjustments to the applicable Exchange Rate;

(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be exchanged only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(ix) the procedures the Holder must follow to require the Company to repurchase its Notes under Section 4.01, if applicable.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.01.

(c) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn in whole or in part by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second scheduled Trading Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”), specifying:

(i) the principal amount of the withdrawn Notes, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;

(ii) if such Notes are certificated Notes, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes; and

(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with the Applicable Procedures.

(d) On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust) an amount of money sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all of the Notes to be repurchased on such date at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes properly surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time shall be made promptly after the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in this Section 4.01), or (y) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 4.01 in accordance with the provisions in Section 3.01(c). The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(e) Subject to a Holder’s right to receive interest on the related Interest Payment Date where the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as applicable, falls between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date to which it relates, if the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money or securities sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then (i) such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes is made or whether or not the Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent, and (ii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and previously accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes.

(f) No Notes may be repurchased at the option of Holders on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).

(g) In connection with any repurchase offer upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall, if required:

(i) comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;

(ii) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required, under the Exchange Act; and

(iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes,

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article IV to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Indenture.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change if a third party makes such an offer to repurchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Article IV applicable to an offer to repurchase made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn under such offer.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, the Company will not be required to offer to repurchase, or repurchase, the Notes upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of “Fundamental Change” if (i) such Fundamental Change results in the Notes becoming exchangeable (pursuant to Section 5.05) into Reference Property consisting of cash (in U.S. dollars) in an amount per Note that is greater than the Fundamental Change Purchase Price (assuming the maximum amount of accrued interest would be payable based on the latest possible Fundamental Change Purchase Date, including any interest payable prior to such date) and (ii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice states that Holders will have the right to exchange their Notes and receive such greater amount of cash. For the avoidance of doubt, under such circumstances, the Company will not be required to offer to repurchase the Notes in such a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

Article V.
Exchange of Notes

Section 5.01 Right to Exchange. Subject to and upon compliance with the procedures for exchange set forth in this Article V, a Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange the principal amount of its Notes, or any portion of such principal amount which is $1,000 or a multiple thereof, into Common Stock at the applicable Exchange Rate, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Stated Maturity, unless the Notes have been previously repurchased or redeemed by the Company, only upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to exchange described in Section 5.02 and subject to the Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 5.03(b). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable and cash payable, if any, upon exchange of a Note shall be determined as set forth in Section 5.03.

Section 5.02 Exchange Procedures. The following procedures shall apply to the exchange of Notes:

(a) In respect of Notes held in certificated form, a Holder must (i) complete and manually sign the exchange notice attached to the Note (the “Exchange Notice”), or facsimile of such Exchange Notice; (ii) deliver such Exchange Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Exchange Agent at the office maintained by the Exchange Agent for such purpose; (iii) to the extent any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s, furnish endorsements and transfer documents as may be required by the Exchange Agent or stock transfer agent; (iv) if required pursuant to Section 5.08 below, pay all transfer or similar taxes; and (v) if required pursuant to Section 5.03(c) below, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date.

(b) In respect of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, a Beneficial Owner must comply with the Applicable Procedures for exchanging a beneficial interest in a Global Note and, if required pursuant to Section 5.03(c), pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date, and if required, taxes or duties, if any.

The date a Holder satisfies the foregoing requirements, as applicable, is the “Exchange Date” hereunder.

No Exchange Notice with respect to any Notes may be tendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also tendered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 4.01. A Holder’s right to exchange its Notes that are subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice will terminate at the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture of the Notes, if a Note (or any portion of a Note) is selected for redemption, then the right to exchange that Note (or portion of that Note) will expire at the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately before the related Redemption Date.

Upon surrender of a certificated Note that is exchanged in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new certificated Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unexchanged portion of the Note surrendered.

Upon the exchange of a beneficial interest in Global Notes, the Exchange Agent shall make a notation in its records as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.

Each exchange shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for exchange at the Close of Business on the applicable Exchange Date; provided, however, that, other than as set forth under Section 5.05, the Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exchange will become a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on the Exchange Date.

Section 5.03 Settlement Upon Exchange.

(a) Settlement Method. Subject to this Section 5.03 and Section 5.04, upon any exchange of any Note (except for exchanges that occur on or after the Regular Record Date corresponding to the final Interest Payment Date), the Company shall deliver, on or prior to the second Trading Day immediately following the Exchange Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged by (B) $1,000; and (ii) the applicable Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Exchange Date; provided, however, that with respect to exchanges that occur on or after the Regular Record Date corresponding to the final Interest Payment Date (i.e., on or after September 15, 2025), the Company shall deliver such number of shares of Common Stock on the Stated Maturity (or, if the Stated Maturity is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day).

(b) Limitation on Shares of Common Stock Deliverable Upon Exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, no Holder will be entitled to receive shares of the Common Stock upon exchange of Notes to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in a violation of the Ownership Limitation. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exchange of Notes shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the exchanging Holder violating the Ownership Limitation. If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon exchange is not made, in whole or in part, because such delivery would result in a violation of the Ownership Limitation, the obligation of the Company to make such delivery shall not be extinguished, and the Company will make such delivery as promptly as practicable after any such Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in a violation of the Ownership Limitation.

(i) Upon exchange, Holders shall not receive any separate cash payment or shares of Common Stock for accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any), except as described in Section 5.03(c)(ii). Upon exchange, the Company’s delivery of shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, will be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on, such Note to, but excluding, the Exchange Date rather than cause such obligation to be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 5.03(c)(i), if any Notes are exchanged with an Exchange Date occurring after a Regular Record Date, Holders of record of such Notes at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will receive, on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the interest (including Additional Interest, if any) payable on such Notes on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the exchange. Notes surrendered for exchange with an Exchange Date occurring after any Regular Record Date and on or before the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) payable, on such Interest Payment Date, for the Notes so exchanged; provided that no such payment need be made:

(A) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the second Business Day immediately following such Interest Payment Date;

(B) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following such Interest Payment Date;

(C) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of exchange with respect to such Notes; or

(D) in respect of any exchanges that occur with an Exchange Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity.

Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity will receive the full interest payment due on the Stated Maturity regardless of whether their Notes have been exchanged following such Regular Record Date.

(d) Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes. If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exchange (and the number of fractional shares of Common Stock, if any, for which cash shall be delivered) shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the exchange of any Notes, the Company shall pay an amount in cash for the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share of Common Stock shall be determined (calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share) by the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on the Exchange Date (or, if the Exchange Date is not a Trading Day, the next following Trading Day).

(e) Exchange of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder. If a Holder surrenders more than one Note for exchange on a single Exchange Date, the Company will calculate the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock due with respect to such Notes as if such Holder had surrendered for exchange one Note having an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the principal amounts of each of the Notes surrendered for exchange by such Holder on such Exchange Date.

(f) Notices. Whenever an Exchange Date occurs with respect to a Note, the Exchange Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than the Business Day immediately following such Exchange Date, deliver to the Company and the Trustee, if it is not then the Exchange Agent, notice that an Exchange Date has occurred, which notice will state such Exchange Date, the principal amount of Notes exchanged on such Exchange Date and the names of the Holders that exchanged Notes on such Exchange Date.

Section 5.04 Adjustment of Exchange Rate. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted as described below, except that the Company will not make any adjustment to the Exchange Rate if Holders participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination, or a tender or exchange offer of the type described in Section 5.04(e)), solely as a result of holding the Notes, and at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock participate, in any of the transactions described below without having to exchange their Notes, as if such Holders had held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment thereof in respect of such transaction, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holders. If a Holder is deemed to have received a distribution subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax as a result of an adjustment or the non-occurrence of an adjustment to the Exchange Rate, and the Company pays withholding taxes on behalf of a Holder, the Company may, at its option, set off any such payment against payments of cash and Common Stock payable on the Notes (or, in some circumstances, against any payments on the Common Stock).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Exchange Rate will not be adjusted on account of the cash dividend, declared by the Guarantor on August 7, 2019, of $0.30 per share of Common Stock payable on September 30, 2019 to stockholders of record as of September 16, 2019.

(a) If the Guarantor exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or the Guarantor effects a share split or share combination (in each case, excluding a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5.05 will apply), then the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;

ER´	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately after the Open of Business on such effective date, as the case may be;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the Open of Business on such effective date, as the case may be; and

OS´	=	the number of the shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution or such share split or combination, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made to the Exchange Rate under this Section 5.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.04(a) is declared but is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Guarantor determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made (other than (i) as a result of a share combination or (ii) with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Exchange Rate).

(b) If the Guarantor distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days after the Record Date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a preferred stock rights plan, as to which Section 5.04(c) and Section 5.04(g) will apply), then the Exchange Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where

ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

ER´	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record 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 Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution.

Any increase in the Exchange Rate made pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately decreased to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately decreased to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if the Record Date for such issuance had not occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Exchange Rate).

For purposes of this Section 5.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of shares of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Guarantor for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable upon exercise, exchange or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Guarantor in good faith.

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

(i) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected (or would be effected without regard to the Deferral Exception) pursuant to Section 5.04(a) or (b) above;

(ii) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a preferred stock rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 5.04(g);

(iii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash and as to which an adjustment was effected (or would be effected assuming the Dividend Threshold Amount were zero, and without regard to the Deferral Exception) pursuant to Section 5.04(d) below;

(iv) a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 5.05 will apply; and

(v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 5.04(c) shall apply;

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

where,

ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

ER´	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;

SP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV	=	the Fair Market Value as determined by the Guarantor in good faith, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property of the Guarantor or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Guarantor or other securities to be distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase in the Exchange Rate made under the portion of this clause (3) above will become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately decreased to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Exchange Rate). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), then, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive upon exchange, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder, the amount and kind of the Guarantor’s Capital Stock, evidences of the Guarantor’s indebtedness or other assets or property of the Guarantor or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of the Guarantor or other securities that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for the distribution.

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

With respect to an adjustment made in the Exchange Rate pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary of the Guarantor or other business unit of the Guarantor, where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted on a U.S. national securities exchange (or will be so listed or quoted when issued) (the foregoing being referred to as a “Spin-Off”), the Exchange Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date of the Spin-Off;

ER´	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;

FMV₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price set forth above as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP₀	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

Any increase in the Exchange Rate made under the preceding paragraph shall be determined as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off; provided, however, that in respect of any exchange of any Note with an Exchange Date that occurs during the Valuation Period, the Company will, if necessary, delay settlement of such exchange until the second Trading Day immediately after the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate will be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Guarantor determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Exchange Rate).

(d) If the Guarantor pays any cash dividends or distributions to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than a regularly scheduled cash dividend that does not exceed the Dividend Threshold Amount per share of Common Stock), the Exchange Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

ER´	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;

SP₀	=	the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

T	=	the dividend threshold amount, which shall initially be $0.30 per share per fiscal quarter, adjusted as provided below to take into account events that cause adjustments to the Exchange Rate and as further adjusted to account for any change in the frequency of payment by the Guarantor of its regular cash dividend; provided, however, that the dividend threshold amount shall be deemed to be zero if such dividend or distribution is not a regularly scheduled dividend by the Company (the “Dividend Threshold Amount”); and

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

Any increase in the Exchange Rate made under this clause (d) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Guarantor determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Exchange Rate).

Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted pursuant clause (a), (b), (c) or (e) of this Section 5.04, the Dividend Threshold Amount shall be adjusted by multiplying it by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate prior to adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate following such adjustment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), then, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive upon exchange, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Guarantor (including the Company) 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 Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Exchange Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

ER₀	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration Date;

ER´	=	the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Expiration Date;

AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Guarantor in good faith) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time such tender or exchange offer expires (before giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer);

OS´	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the time such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender or exchange offer); and

SP´	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

Any increase in the Exchange Rate made pursuant to this Section 5.04(e) shall be determined as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Expiration Date; provided, however, that in respect of any exchange of any Note where the Exchange Date occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, we will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such exchange until the second Trading Day immediately after the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

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

For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Exchange Rate).

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

(i) an Exchange Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Record Date pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Section 5.04, inclusive;

(ii) a Note is to be exchanged;

(iii) the Exchange Date for such exchange occurs on such Record Date;

(iv) the consideration due upon such exchange includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on an Exchange Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and

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

then (x) such Exchange Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such exchange; and (y) the shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such exchange based on such unadjusted Exchange Rate will be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(g) To the extent that the Guarantor has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon exchange of the Notes for Common Stock, Holders will receive, in addition to any Common Stock, the rights under the stockholder rights plan, unless prior to any exchange, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case the Exchange Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders its Common stock, shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets as described in Section 5.04(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(h) Except as described herein, the Company will not adjust the Exchange Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. Except as described in Section 5.04(a) through (e), Section 5.04(i), and Section 5.07, the Company shall not adjust the Exchange Rate. Without limiting the foregoing, the Exchange Rate will not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Guarantor and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

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

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

(iv) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock for cash or as consideration in a merger, purchase or similar transaction;

(v) for a change in the par value of Common Stock;

(vi) upon any repurchase of shares of Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions by the Guarantor (including by way of accelerated share repurchase or other derivatives), in each case other than in transactions described under clause Section 5.04(e) above; or

(vii) for accrued and unpaid interest.

(i) In addition to those adjustments required by Section 5.04(a) through (e) above, and to the extent permitted by law and subject to the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange, the Company may from time to time increase the Exchange Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 days, if the Board of Directors of the Guarantor determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that such increase would be in the Guarantor’s best interest. Whenever the Exchange Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall deliver to Holders a notice of the increased Exchange Rate and the period during which it will be in effect no later than the first date on which the increased Exchange Rate takes effect, in accordance with applicable law. In addition, subject to the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange, the Company may also, but is not required to, increase the Exchange Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock or similar event.

(j) Adjustments to the applicable Exchange Rate shall be calculated to the nearest one ten-thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share. If any adjustment of the Exchange Rate is less than 1% of the applicable Exchange Rate, such adjustment will be carried forward and the adjustment with respect thereto will be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with the original adjustment, aggregate to at least 1% of the applicable Exchange Rate, provided, however, that any carried forward adjustment will be made upon exchange of any Note, but solely with respect to the exchanged Note, regardless of the 1% threshold.

Section 5.05 Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of Shares of Common Stock. In the event of:

(a) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a share split or combination);

(b) a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Guarantor;

(d) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, in which Holders of Common Stock would be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of common stock (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such cash, securities or other property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a Holder of one share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, at and after the Effective Time of such Common Stock Change Event:

(w)

the consideration due upon exchange of any Note, and the conditions to any such exchange, will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Article V (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units;

(x)

for purposes of the definition of Ex-Dividend Date and Record Date, the term Common Stock will be deemed to refer to any class of securities forming part of such Reference Property;

(y)

for purposes of the definition of Fundamental Change and Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the terms Common Stock and Common Equity will be deemed to mean the Common Equity (including depositary receipts representing Common Equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property; and

(z)

for these purposes, the last reported sale price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

For purposes of the foregoing, if the Reference Property of a Common Stock Change Event would consist of more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders Common Stock. We will notify the Holders and the Trustee of the composition of the Reference Property Unit as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

The Guarantor shall not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.05. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to exchange its Notes into shares of Common Stock prior to the Effective Date of such Common Stock Change Event.

Section 5.06 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate Last Reported Sale Prices over a span of multiple days (including with respect to the “Stock Price” for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Company will make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Exchange Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Exchange Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Record Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of the event occurs, at any time during the period during which such prices are to be calculated.

Section 5.07 Adjustment to Shares Delivered Upon Exchange Upon Make-Whole Fundamental Changes.

(a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Stated Maturity and a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall increase the Exchange Rate for the Notes so surrendered for exchange by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as provided below. An exchange of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the Exchange Date for such exchange occurs during the period from, and including, the Effective Date to, and including, the second scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of an Exempted Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (2) of the definition thereof, to, and including, the 30th Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

(b) The number of Additional Shares by which the Exchange Rate will be increased in the event of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the Effective Date and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share of Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Exchange Rate as set forth in Section 5.04(a) through (e).

(d) The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table in Schedule A, in which case:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two stock prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable;

(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $22.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices as set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A), no Additional Shares will be added to the Exchange Rate; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than 16.47 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices as set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A), no Additional Shares will be added to the Exchange Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exchange Rate exceed 60.7164 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Exchange Rate as set forth in Section 5.04.

(e) If a Holder of Notes elects to exchange its Notes prior to the Effective Date of any Fundamental Change, such Holder shall not be entitled to an increased Exchange Rate in connection with such exchange.

(f) Any exchange that entitles the exchanging Holder to an increase in the Exchange Rate as described in this Section 5.07 shall be settled as described under Section 5.03.

Section 5.08 Taxes on Shares Issued. Any issue of shares of Common Stock upon exchanges of Notes shall be made without charge to the exchanging Holder for any documentary, transfer, stamp or any similar tax in respect of the issue thereof, and the Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exchange of Notes pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Holder of any Notes exchanged, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares of Common Stock unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 5.09 Reservation of Shares; Shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements. The Guarantor shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of Common Stock held in treasury, sufficient Common Stock to provide for the exchange of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for exchange.

The Guarantor covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exchange of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any lien or adverse claim.

Section 5.10 Responsibility of Trustee. Neither the Exchange Agent nor the Trustee has any duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article V should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Exchange Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Exchange Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any Notes; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company or the Guarantor to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company or the Guarantor contained in this Article V. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine whether a supplemental indenture needs to be entered into or the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into and may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall be responsible for making any calculations under this Article V nor for monitoring the price of the Common Stock.

Section 5.11 Stockholder Rights Plan. Each share of Common Stock issued upon exchange of Notes, if any, pursuant to this Article V shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exchange shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights agreement of the Guarantor then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to any exchange of Notes, such rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement, then, and only then, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Guarantor had distributed to all Holders of the Common Stock, shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants as described in Section 5.04(c) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a rights plan that would allow a Holder to receive upon exchange, in addition to shares of Common Stock, the rights described therein with respect to such Common Stock (unless such rights or warrants have separated from the Common Stock) shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants that would entitle the Holder to an adjustment to the Exchange Rate.

Section 5.12 Company Determination Final. Any determination that the Company, the Guarantor, the Board of Directors of the Company or the Board of Directors of the Guarantor must make pursuant to this Article V shall be conclusive if made in good faith, absent manifest error.

Article VI.
Redemption to Preserve REIT Status of the Guarantor; no sinking fund

Section 6.01 Redemption. The Company may not redeem the Notes at its option prior to the Stated Maturity, except to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to preserve the Guarantor’s status as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Company determines that redeeming the Notes is necessary to preserve such status, then the Company may redeem, on a Business Day (the “Redemption Date”) of the Company’s choosing that is no more than 60, nor less than 30, calendar days after the date the related redemption notice is sent pursuant to Section 6.02, all or part (in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000) of the Notes at a cash price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date for a Note is after a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, then (x) the Company will pay, on or before such Interest Payment Date, the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest payable on such Note on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date; and (y) the Redemption Price will not include such accrued and unpaid interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.01, no Notes may be redeemed on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the applicable Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).

Section 6.02 Notice of Redemption. The Company will send to each applicable Holder (with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent) notice of any redemption pursuant to Section 6.01 containing the following information: (a) the Redemption Date; (b) the Redemption Price; (c) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (d) if any Notes are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed; (e) that Notes (other than Global Notes) called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price; (f) the CUSIP number, if any, of the Notes being redeemed; (g) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date (except as provided in the proviso to Section 6.01 with respect to a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date); (h) that the right of any Holder of such Note to exchange such Note will expire at the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date; (i) a brief summary of the procedures a Holder must follow to exchange such Note; and (j) the current Exchange Rate (and any adjustments thereto that have been deferred, and not given effect, pursuant to the Deferral Exception). Each notice of redemption, once sent, will be irrevocable, subject to the right of Holders to convert any Notes called for redemption.

Section 6.03 Partial Redemptions. If only a portion of a Note is subject to redemption pursuant to Section 6.01 and such Note is exchanged in part, then the exchanged portion of such Note will be deemed to be from the portion of such Note that was subject to redemption.

Section 6.04 No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

Article VII.

(vii) default by the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s other Subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any debt for money borrowed (other than non-recourse debt of a Subsidiary of the Company) in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate of the Company, the Guarantor and/or any of such Subsidiaries, whether such debt now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default results (i) in such debt becoming or being declared due and payable, and such debt has not been discharged in full or such declaration rescinded or annulled within 60 days; or (ii) from a failure to pay the principal of any such debt when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and such defaulted payment shall not have been made, waived or extended within 60 days;

(viii) a final judgment for the payment of $25,000,000 or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance) rendered against the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s other Subsidiaries, which judgment is not discharged, stayed, vacated, paid or otherwise satisfied within 60 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced; or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;

(ix) the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s Significant Subsidiaries shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s Significant Subsidiaries or any substantial part of its respective property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due;

(x) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s Significant Subsidiaries seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company, the Guarantor or any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s Significant Subsidiaries or any substantial part of its respective property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(xi) except as otherwise permitted herein, the Guarantee is held to be unenforceable or invalid in a judicial proceeding or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or the Guarantor, or any person acting on behalf of the Guarantor, denies or disaffirms the Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee; or

(xii) subject to the final paragraph of Section 8.01, the Guarantor ceases to own directly or indirectly 100% of the Company’s outstanding equity interests.

Section 7.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall become due and payable immediately. However, upon an Event of Default arising out of Sections 7.01(a)(ix) and (x) with respect to the Company or the Guarantor (and not solely with respect to any Significant Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor) the aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately without notice from the Trustee or Holders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Company, the sole remedy with respect to an Event of Default for the failure by the Guarantor to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 3.03 (any such Event of Default, a “Reporting Event of Default”) shall, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such Reporting Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Reporting Additional Interest”) on the Notes at an annual rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the first 185-day period on which such Reporting Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurs and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period on which such Reporting Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the 186th day on which such Reporting Event of Default is continuing. In no event will the combined rate of the Reporting Additional Interest and Rule 144A Additional Interest exceed 0.50% per annum on any Note, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest. If the Company so elects, the Additional Interest shall be payable as provided in Section 3.01(b). On the 366^th day after such Reporting Event of Default (if the Reporting Event of Default is not cured or waived prior to such 366^th day), the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all such Notes to be due and payable immediately (and, for avoidance of doubt, such Additional Interest will cease to accrue). The provisions described in this paragraph shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following a Reporting Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay such Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided above. In no event shall Additional Interest payable pursuant to the foregoing election accrue at a rate per year in excess of the applicable rate specified above, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to requirements to pay such Additional Interest. With regard to any Reporting Event of Default, no Additional Interest shall accrue after such Reporting Event of Default has been cured.

(b) If the Company elects to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of a Reporting Event of Default, the Company shall notify in writing the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 365-day period. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.02(a) above.

Section 7.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if

(a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of any Note when due and payable at the Stated Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and on any overdue interest, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, 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.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 7.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official 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 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 11.06.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 7.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 7.06 Application of Money Collected. Subject to Article V, any money or property money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 11.06;

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

Third: The balance, if any, to the Company.

Section 7.07 Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 7.08, no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against the loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request for 60 days after its receipt of such notice and offer of security or indemnity; and

(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period,

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

Section 7.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Institute Suit to Enforce its Right to Receive Principal and Interest and to Exchange. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to institute suit for the enforcement of its right to receive payment of the principal of and interest (including Additional Interest) on such Note when due and to exchange such Note in accordance with Article V, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 7.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 7.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 7.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VII or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee (subject to the limitations contained in this Indenture) or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 7.12 Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to 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 the Trustee, provided that:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture and shall not be unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or result in personal liability to the Trustee, and

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction or this Indenture;

and provided, further that, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Section 7.13 Waiver of Past Defaults and Rescission. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes:

(a) waive any existing Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

(i) in the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note that remains uncured, or

(ii) in respect of the failure to deliver amounts due upon exchange of a Note in accordance with Section 5.01 hereunder, and

(b) at any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VII provided, rescind and annul any such declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences, if:

(i) such rescission will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, and

(ii) all existing Events of Default, other than non-payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note or the failure to deliver amounts due upon exchange of a Note in accordance with Section 5.01 hereunder, have been cured or waived.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.14 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant; provided, that this Section 7.14 shall not be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes or in any suit for the enforcement of the right to exchange any Note in accordance with Article V or for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the Maturity of such Note, including the Stated Maturity expressed in such Note.

Section 7.15 Notice of Default. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence of any events that constitute a Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default, the status such events and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereof.

Section 7.16 Interest on Overdue Payments. Payments of any Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, principal and interest (including Additional Interest) that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate from the required payment date.

Article VIII.
Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease

Section 8.01 Company May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall, in a single transaction or a series of related transaction, (x) consolidate with or merge with or into, or (y) sell, lease or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (in the case of a sale, lease or other transfer by the Company) or of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (in the case of a sale, lease or other transfer by the Guarantor), in each case taken as a whole, to another Person (other than in the case of clause (y) above, to a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor), unless, in each case:

(i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person, if other than the Company or the Guarantor (as the case may be), is a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such Person, if not the Company or the Guarantor (as the case may be), shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all obligations of the Company or the Guarantor (as the case may be) under the Notes, the Guarantee and this Indenture, as applicable;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(iii) the Company or the Guarantor (as the case may be), or the successor Person if other than the Company or the Guarantor (as the case may be), has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this Article VIII and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, this Article VIII will not prevent the Company from consolidating with or merging with or into, or selling, leasing or otherwise transferring all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to the Guarantor, and no such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or transfer will be an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(xii) or will require the consent of any holder pursuant to Section 10.02(j).

Section 8.02 Successor Substituted. Upon any transaction referred to in Section 8.01 in accordance therewith, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or the Guarantor is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company or the Guarantor herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Company or the Guarantor in the case of a sale, conveyance or other disposition (other than a lease) shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes or the Guarantee, as applicable.

Article IX.
Satisfaction and Discharge

Section 9.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

When (i) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (ii) all the Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, and the Company or the Guarantor shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, cash or shares of Common Stock (or, if applicable, other Reference Property), as applicable, sufficient to pay at the Stated Maturity, upon exchange of, or upon any Fundamental Change Date or Redemption Date with respect to, all of the Notes (other than any Notes that shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) due or to become due to such Stated Maturity, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Redemption Date, as the case may be, and if the Company or the Guarantor shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to (A) remaining rights of registration of transfer, substitution and exchange and conversion of Notes, (B) rights hereunder of Holders to receive payments of principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with the Trustee and (C) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on written demand of the Company or the Guarantor accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the reasonable cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 11.06, and if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.01, the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.06, 2.07, 9.02 and 9.03 shall survive.

Section 9.02 Application of Trust Funds.

Subject to the provisions of Section 9.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01, shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.02 shall apply to the cash and/or shares of Common Stock (or, if applicable, other Reference Property) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 and all money or other assets received by the Trustee in respect of shares of Common Stock (or, if applicable, other Reference Property) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01.

All monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Notes subsequently exchanged shall be returned to the Company upon Company request.

Section 9.03 Repayment to Company.

Subject to applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

Section 9.04 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to the Notes in accordance with Section 9.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Indenture with respect to the Notes and the Guarantee shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 9.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 9.01; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on or any additional amounts with respect to any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent after payment in full to the Holders.

Article X.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary to the provisions of Section 10.02, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, the Guarantor, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company and/or amend the Notes or the Guarantee, for any of the following purposes:

(i) to conform the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes to the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s preliminary offering memorandum dated September 19, 2019 relating to the offering of the Notes as supplemented by the pricing term sheet dated September 19, 2019 relating thereto;

(j) to provide for a successor Trustee; or

(k) to comply with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.

Section 10.02 With Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, the Guarantor, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture, of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture or waiving any past Default or compliance with any provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby,

(a) reduce the amount of the Notes the Holders of which must consent to a supplement to this Indenture;

(b) reduce the rate, or extend the stated time for payment, of interest (other than Additional Interest) on any Note;

(d) make any change that adversely affects the exchange rights of any Note;

(e) reduce the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Note or amend or modify, in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes, the Company’s right to redeem the Notes or the Company’s obligation to repurchase the Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise;

(f) change the place or currency of payment of principal or interest in respect of any Note;

(g) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of its right to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor;

(h) adversely affect the ranking of the Notes or the Guarantee as the Company’s and the Guarantor’s senior unsecured indebtedness, respectively;

(j) release the Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture (other than in compliance with Article VIII).

It shall not be necessary for any Act or consent of Holders under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act or consent shall approve the substance thereof. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

Section 10.03 Notices of Supplemental Indentures. After a supplement under this ‎Article X becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver, unless the Guarantor files such amendment in a periodic report filed with the SEC within four Business Days. The Company will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

Section 10.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Note or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.

Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Holder affected by such amendment or waiver.

Section 10.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Company or the Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on Notes thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for the Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver.

Section 10.06 Trustee Protected.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 11.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both complying with Section 13.06. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures upon delivery of such an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee becomes aware thereof or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 11.06 Compensation and Indemnity.

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) against any cost, expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent, including those incurred with respect to enforcement of its right to indemnity hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim by a third party for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. Except for claims involving the Company, the Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel (plus one local counsel, if applicable, in each applicable jurisdiction) and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee.

The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 11.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on the Notes. Such lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation, removal or replacement of the Trustee.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(a)(ix) or (x) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 11.07 Replacement of Trustee.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 11.07.

The Trustee may resign with respect to the Notes by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the Notes if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 11.09;

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

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

If a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 11.06, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to the Notes. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Holder. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 11.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights, powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement.

Section 11.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc..

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 11.09.

Section 11.09 Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a trustee under this Indenture that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Article XII.
GUARANTEE

Section 12.01 Guarantee. By its execution hereof, the Guarantor acknowledges and the Trustee agrees that it receives substantial benefits from the Company and the issuance of the Notes and that the Guarantor is providing its Guarantee for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, such substantial benefits. Accordingly, subject to the provisions of this Article XII, the Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees as a primary principal obligation and not merely as surety to each Holder of a Note, on a senior basis, and its successors and the Trustee assigns that: (i) the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon repurchase pursuant to Article IV) and interest on the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at the Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, upon repurchase due to a Fundamental Change, upon redemption pursuant to Section 6.01 or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on any overdue interest, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Trustee, Holders hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full and/or performed when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon repurchase due to a Fundamental Change, upon redemption pursuant to Section 6.01 or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 12.03 hereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”).

Subject to the provisions of this Article XII, the Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes: (a) any right to require the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each, a “Benefited Party”) to proceed against the Company or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Benefited Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in any secured party’s power before proceeding against the Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of a Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind (except as expressly required by this Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, any Benefited Party, any creditor of the Guarantor or the Company or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Benefited Party, including but not limited to an election to proceed against the Guarantor for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any defense arising because of a Benefited Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Law; and (g) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Law. The Guarantor hereby covenants that, except as otherwise provided therein, the Guarantee shall not be discharged except by payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the principal and interest on the Notes and all other costs provided for under this Indenture or as provided in Article XI.

Section 12.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. The execution by the Guarantor of this Indenture (or an amended or supplemental indenture as provided in Article X) evidences the Guarantee of the Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

Section 12.03 Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability; Certain Bankruptcy Events. (a) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constituting fraudulent transfers or conveyances for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under this Article XII shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor, result in the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting fraudulent transfers or conveyances.

Section 12.04 Application of Certain Terms and Provisions to the Guarantor.

(a) For purposes of any provision of this Indenture which provides for the delivery by the Guarantor of an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, the definitions of such terms in Section 1.01 hereof shall apply to the Guarantor as if references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

(b) Any request, direction, order or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is to be made by the Guarantor shall be sufficient if evidenced as described in Section 13.05 hereof as if references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

(c) Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders of Notes to or on the Guarantor may be given or served as described in Section 13.05 hereof as if references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

(d) Upon any demand, request or application by the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as are required in Section 13.06 hereof as if all references therein to the Company were references to the Guarantor.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to repurchase, at the option of any Holder, all or any portion of the Notes held by such Holder upon a Fundamental Change in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. To exercise such right, a Holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent, and the Paying Agent must receive, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice containing the information set forth in the Indenture, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and shall deliver the Notes to the Paying Agent as set forth in the Indenture.

Holders have the right to withdraw (in whole or in part) any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

Redemptions.

The Notes will be subject to redemption at the Company’s option only as provided in Article VI of the Indenture.

Exchange.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture (including without limitation the conditions of exchange of Notes set forth in Article V of the Indenture), the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, to exchange the principal amount hereof or any portion of such principal which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into shares of Common Stock and an amount in cash, if any, at the Exchange Rate specified in the Indenture. The initial Exchange Rate is 55.1967 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial Exchange Price of approximately $18.12 per share of Common Stock), subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon any exchange. The Company shall make payment of an amount in cash, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Notes for exchange. Notes in respect of which a Holder is exercising its right to require repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date may be exchanged only if such Holder withdraws its election to exercise such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, no Holder will be entitled to receive shares of the Common Stock upon exchange of Notes to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in a violation of the Ownership Limitation. If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon exchange is not made, in whole or in part, because such delivery would result in a violation of the Ownership Limitation, the obligation of the Company to make such delivery shall not be extinguished, and the Company will make such delivery as promptly as practicable after any such Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in a violation of the Ownership Limitation.

After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the cash or securities must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
