Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Indenture and Notes
On May 7, 2026, Ocugen, Inc. (the “Company”)
completed its previously announced private offering (the “offering”) of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 (the “notes”). The notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated May 7, 2026 (the
“Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee.
The notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank
senior in right of payment to all of its future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, equal in
right of payment to all of its existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, and junior to all of its secured indebtedness,
to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year. Interest is
payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2026. The notes mature
on May 15, 2034, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
The notes may not be converted prior to the earlier of (i) May 15,
2027 and (ii) the “reserved share effective date” (as defined in the Indenture) (such earlier date, the “conversion
limit end date”). On or after the conversion limit end date, the notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time
prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, as described below. Upon conversion,
the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“common stock”), or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject
to the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture, and, in the case of shares of common stock, subject to application of the Exchange
Cap, if applicable; provided that unless and until the reserved share effective date occurs, the Company will settle conversion of notes
solely with cash.
Additionally, until stockholder approval for the issuance of common
stock pursuant to a conversion of the notes is obtained, the maximum number of common stock that the Company can issue pursuant to any
conversion of notes by physical settlement will be 67,629,947 shares of common stock to comply with Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) (the
“Exchange Cap”). The indenture will require that any conversion of notes be settled by cash settlement if settlement by the
issuance of common stock would otherwise violate Nasdaq Rule 5635(d).
The conversion rate of the notes will initially be 372.7866 shares
of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $2.68 per share
of common stock. The initial conversion price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 45% over the last reported sale price
of $1.85 per share of common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on May 4, 2026. The conversion rate for the notes is subject to adjustment
under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur
prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption in respect of the notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances,
increase the conversion rate of the notes for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert
its notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period (as defined in the Indenture), as the case may
be.
The Company may not redeem the notes prior to May 15, 2029. The
Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes (subject to certain limitations), at its option, on or after May 15,
2029 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of
the common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or
not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including,
the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. However,
the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding notes unless at least $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes are
outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time we send the related notice of redemption (and after giving effect to the delivery
of such notice of redemption).
1
Holders of notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all
or any portion of their notes on May 15, 2032 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, May 15, 2032. In addition, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as
defined in the Indenture), then, subject to certain conditions and except as set forth in the Indenture, holders may require the Company
to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be
repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events
of default after which the notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency
events of default involving the Company after which the notes become automatically due and payable. The following events are considered
“events of default” under the Indenture:
· default in any payment of interest on any note when due and payable and the
default continues for a period of 30 days;
· default in the payment of principal of any note when due and payable at its
stated maturity, upon optional redemption, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;
· failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the notes
in accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right and such failure continues for five business days;
· failure by the Company to give (i) a fundamental change notice or notice
of a make-whole fundamental change (each as described in the Indenture), in either case when due and such failure continues for five business
days, or (ii) notice of a specified distribution (as described in the Indenture) when due and such failure continues for one business
day;
· failure by the Company to comply with its obligations in respect of any consolidation,
merger or sale of assets;
· failure by the Company to comply with any of the Company’s other agreements
in the notes or the Indenture for 60 days after receipt of written notice of such failure from the trustee or the holders of at least
25% in principal amount of the notes then outstanding;
· default by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries (as defined
in the Indenture) 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 indebtedness for money borrowed with a principal amount in excess of $10.0 million (or its foreign currency
equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company and/or any such significant subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter
be created, (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting
a failure to pay the principal of any such indebtedness when due and payable (after the expiration of all applicable grace periods) at
its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and in the cases of clauses (i) and
(ii), such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such failure to pay or default shall not have been cured or waived,
or such indebtedness is not paid or discharged, as the case may be, within 30 days after written notice to the Company by the trustee
or to the Company and the trustee by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding in accordance
with the Indenture; and
· certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company
or any of the Company’s significant subsidiaries.
In case of certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default
with respect to the Company, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the then outstanding notes shall automatically
become due and payable. If an event of default, other than certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default with respect to
the Company, occurs and is continuing, the trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the outstanding notes by written notice to the Company and the trustee, may, declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid
interest on, all the outstanding notes to be due and payable.
2
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, to the extent
the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with certain reporting
covenants in the Indenture will, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an event of default, consist exclusively of the right
to receive additional interest on the notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the notes outstanding for each
day that such event of default is continuing during the first 180 days after the occurrence of such an event of default and 0.50% per
annum of the principal amount of the notes outstanding from the 181st day to, and including, the 365th day following the occurrence of
such event of default, as long as such event of default is continuing.
The Indenture provides that the Company shall not consolidate with
or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to, another person (other than any such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease to one or more of
the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries), unless: (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if
not the Company) is a “qualified successor entity” (as defined in the Indenture) organized and existing under the laws of
the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and such qualified successor entity (if not the Company)
expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under the notes and the Indenture; and (ii) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture.
A copy of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (including
the form of the notes attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2) and is incorporated herein by reference (and this description is qualified
in its entirety by reference to such document).
Proceeds
The offering price of the notes was 90% of the principal amount of
notes. The Company’s net proceeds from the offering were approximately $99.5 million after deducting the initial purchaser’s
discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used approximately $32.7 million of
the net proceeds from the offering to fully repay the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loan and
Security Agreement that the Company is party to with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund,
L.P. as lenders and Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Avenue Loan Agreement”),
including payment of the related prepayment fee and expenses, and terminate the Avenue Loan Agreement and all related loan documents.
The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
After giving effect the issuance of the notes and the full repayment
and termination of the Avenue Loan Agreement as described in Item 1.01, the Company estimates that it would have had, on an as-adjusted
basis, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $99.0 million as of March 31, 2026.
The preliminary unaudited financial information presented this Item
2.02 is an estimate based on information available to management as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, has not been
reviewed or audited by the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, and is subject to change. It is possible that the final
results may differ from the preliminary unaudited information provided, including differences due to the completion of the financial closing
procedures; changes in facts, circumstances and/or assumptions and/or developments in the interim. The preliminary unaudited financial
information does not present all information necessary for a complete understanding of the Company’s results as of March 31,
2026 and should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
3
The information contained in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed to
be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section,
nor will such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except as may
be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation
under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company offered and sold the notes to the initial purchaser in
reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and for resale by the initial purchaser to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the
exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration
based in part on representations made by the initial purchaser in the purchase agreement dated May 4, 2026 by and among the Company
and the initial purchaser.
The notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
the notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
To the extent that any shares of common stock are issued upon conversion
of the notes, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof
because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with conversion of the notes and any resulting issuance
of shares of common stock. Initially, a maximum of 62,162,162 shares of common stock may be issued upon conversion of the notes based
on the initial maximum conversion rate of 540.5405 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is subject to customary
anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

and except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes to the
extent expressly permitted hereunder.
Section 2.02. Form of
Notes. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the respective
forms set forth in Exhibit A, the terms and provisions of which shall constitute, and are hereby expressly incorporated in and made
a part of this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly
agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. In the case of any conflict between this Indenture and a Note, the provisions
of this Indenture shall control and govern to the extent of such conflict.
Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated
in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the
Custodian or the Depositary, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and
regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or traded or designated for issuance
or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes
are subject.
Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers
or other marks of identification and such notations, legends or endorsements as the Officer executing the same may approve (execution
thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required
to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, or to conform to usage or to indicate
any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.
15
Each Global Note shall represent such principal
amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby
may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, repurchases, cancellations, conversions, transfers or exchanges
permitted hereby. Any endorsement 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 or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions
given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, a Global
Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a record date or other means of determining Holders eligible
to receive payment is provided for herein.
Section 2.03. Date
and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest and Defaulted Amounts. (a) The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without
coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication
and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of such Note. Accrued interest on the Notes shall 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.
(b) The
Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at the close of business on any Regular Record
Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. The principal
amount of any Note (x) in the case of any Physical Note, shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained by the
Company for such purposes within the contiguous United States of America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office and (y) in
the case of any Global Note, shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its
nominee. The Company shall pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, interest (i) on any Physical Notes (A) to Holders holding
Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of these Notes at their address
as it appears in the Note Register and (B) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000,
either by check mailed to each such Holder or, upon written application by such a Holder to the Note Registrar not later than the relevant
Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States if such Holder
has provided the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) with the requisite information necessary to make
such wire transfer, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Note Registrar to the contrary
or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.
(c) Any
Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at
the rate borne by the Notes, subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date,
and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided
in clause (i) or (ii) below:
(i) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes)
are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the
following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note
and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the
Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to
the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted
Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10
days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). The
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be delivered to
each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Registrar (or, in the case of Global Notes, in compliance with the applicable procedures
of the Depositary) not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and
the special record date therefor having been so delivered, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes
(or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(c).
16
(ii) The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required
by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant
to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
(iii) The
Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Defaulted Amounts, or with respect
to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Defaulted Amounts owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation
of the Defaulted Amounts.
Section 2.04. Execution,
Authentication and Delivery of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual, facsimile
or other electronic signature of its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Treasurer,
General Counsel, Secretary or any of its Executive or Senior Vice Presidents.
At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with
a Company Order (such Company Order to include the terms of the Notes) for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee
in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Company hereunder;
provided that, subject to Section 17.05, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel of the Company with respect to the issuance, authentication and delivery of such Notes.
17
Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate
of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by
an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 17.10), shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating
agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
In case any Officer of the Company who shall have
signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee,
or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed
such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at
the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture
any such person was not such an Officer.
Section 2.05. Exchange
and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary.
(a) The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office
or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall
be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby
initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.
The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing
such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.
Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained
by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not
contemporaneously outstanding.
18
All Notes presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note
Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company
and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be imposed by the Company,
the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but
the Company or the Trustee may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax
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 exchange or registration of transfer.
None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar
or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange for other Notes or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion
or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion, (ii) any Notes, or a
portion of any Note, surrendered for required repurchase upon a Fundamental Change (and not withdrawn) or on the Specified Repurchase
Date (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 15 or (iii) any Notes selected for Optional Redemption in accordance with
Article 16, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer
or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(b) So
long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth
paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(c) all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global
Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. Each Global Note shall bear the legend required
on a Global Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not
involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance
with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the applicable procedures of the Depositary therefor.
(c) Every
Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(c) to bear the Restrictive Notes Legend (together with any Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Notes that is required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d), collectively, the “Restricted
Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(c) (including the Restrictive
Notes Legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the
Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions
on transfer. As used in this Section 2.05(c) and Section 2.05(d), the term “transfer” encompasses any
sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.
19
Until the date (the “Resale Restriction
Termination Date”) that is the later of (1) the date that is one year after the Last Original Issue Date, or such shorter
period of time as permitted by Rule 144 or any successor provision thereto, and (2) such later date, if any, as may be required
by applicable law, any certificate evidencing some or all of the Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution
thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.05(d),
if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “Restrictive Notes Legend”) (unless such
Notes have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and
that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144
or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with notice thereof
to the Trustee):
THIS SECURITY AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, IF ANY, ISSUABLE
UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”),
AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION
HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:
(1) REPRESENTS
THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(2) AGREES
FOR THE BENEFIT OF OCUGEN, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS
SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE
HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH
LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:
(A) TO
THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR
(B) PURSUANT
TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(C) TO
A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
20
(D) PURSUANT
TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS
OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
No transfer of any Note required to bear the legend
above will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.
Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution
therefor) (i) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been
transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become effective or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that
continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided
by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the
Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount, which shall not bear the Restrictive Notes Legend required by this Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned
a restricted CUSIP number. The Restrictive Notes Legend set forth above and affixed on any Note will be deemed, in accordance with the
terms of the certificate representing such Note, to be removed therefrom upon the Company’ s delivery to the Trustee of written
notice to such effect, without further action by the Company, the Trustee, the Holder(s) thereof or any other Person; at such time,
such Note will be deemed to be assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number as provided in the certificate representing such Note, it being understood
that the Depositary of any Global Note may require a mandatory exchange or other process to cause such Global Note to be identified by
an unrestricted CUSIP number in the facilities of such Depositary; 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 4.06, 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. The Company and the Trustee reserve the right to require the
delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other evidence as may reasonably be required in order to determine that any proposed
transfer of any Note is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
21
The Company shall be entitled to instruct the Custodian
in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which any of the conditions set forth in clause (i) through (iii) of the immediately
preceding sentence have been satisfied, and, upon such instruction, the Custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and
any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the Restrictive Notes Legend specified in this Section 2.05(c) and
shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Resale
Restriction Termination Date and promptly after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Notes or any Common Stock issued
upon conversion of the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture
(other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.05(c)), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except
(i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for
exchange of a Global Note or a portion thereof for one or more Physical Notes in accordance with the second immediately succeeding paragraph.
The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note.
Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary,
and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.
If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company
at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not
appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor
depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing
and, subject to the Depositary’s applicable procedures, a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein
be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note
to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s
beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global
Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange
for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be cancelled.
Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a
part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations
as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of
the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. Upon execution and authentication,
the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.
22
At such time as all interests in a Global Note
have been converted, cancelled, repurchased upon a Fundamental Change or on the Specified Repurchase Date, redeemed or transferred, such
Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions
between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical
Notes, converted, cancelled, repurchased upon a Fundamental Change or on the Specified Repurchase Date, redeemed or transferred to a transferee
who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount
of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian,
be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.
None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of
the Company or the Trustee (including in its capacity as Paying Agent and Conversion Agent) shall have any responsibility or liability
for any act or omission of the Depositary or for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note, for any aspect
of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records of the Depositary relating to those interests.
(d) Until
the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Note shall bear a
legend in substantially the following form (unless such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has
become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant
to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or such
Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of a Note that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become
or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the

(1) REPRESENTS
THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(2) AGREES
FOR THE BENEFIT OF OCUGEN, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS
SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR

REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY
OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER
IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY

Any such Common Stock (i) as to which such
restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration
statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer
or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in

with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.05(d).
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial
owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
24
(e) Each
Note issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall bear the legend in substantially the following form:
THIS NOTE WAS ISSUED WITH “ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT”
(“OID”) WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 1273 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. HOLDERS MAY OBTAIN
INFORMATION REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF OID, THE ISSUE PRICE, THE ISSUE DATE, AND THE YIELD TO MATURITY RELATING
TO THIS NOTE BY CONTACTING THE COMPANY, AT 11 Great Valley Parkway, Malvern, PA 19355 (Attn: Shankar Musunuri).
(f) Any
Note or restricted Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that is repurchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate
of the Company (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months immediately preceding) may not be
resold by the Company or such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note or Common Stock, as
the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144).
Section 2.06. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion
may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in
lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish
to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case
of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating
agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.
The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate
any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable,
such authenticating agent may require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note
Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to
cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of
the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen.
In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase upon a Fundamental Change or on
the Specified Repurchase Date or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost
or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or
authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant
for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected
with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable,
any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership
thereof.
25
Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all
the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the
foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter
enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.
Section 2.07. Temporary
Notes. Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by
the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary
Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions
and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be
executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner, and with the same effect, as the Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than
any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02
and the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary
Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without
any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the
same limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.08. Cancellation
of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment at maturity, repurchase upon
a Fundamental Change or on the Specified Repurchase Date, Optional Redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, as
the case may be (other than any Notes exchanged pursuant to Section 14.12), if surrendered to the Company or any of its agents or
Subsidiaries, to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be cancelled promptly by it
in accordance with its customary procedures upon the written request of the Company. Except for any Notes surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange, or as otherwise expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture, no Notes shall be authenticated
in exchange for any Notes surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with
its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver evidence of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s
written request in a Company Order.
26
Section 2.09. CUSIP
Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee
shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that the Trustee
shall have no liability for any defect in the “CUSIP” numbers as they appear on any Note, notice or elsewhere, and, provided,
further, 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 on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company
shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
Section 2.10. Additional
Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen
this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences
in the issue date, the issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes and, if applicable, restrictions
on transfer in respect of such additional Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional
Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax or securities law purposes, such additional
Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee a Company Order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition,
the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company),
repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a privately negotiated transaction
or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives,
in each case, without the consent of or notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company may, at its option and to the extent permitted
by applicable law, reissue, resell or surrender to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes that it may repurchase, in the case of a reissuance
or resale, so long as such Notes do not constitute “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144) upon such reissuance
or resale; provided that if any such reissued or resold Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S.
federal income tax or securities law purposes, such reissued or resold Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Any Notes
that the Company may repurchase shall be considered outstanding for all purposes under this Indenture (other than, at any time when such
Notes are owned by the Company, by any Subsidiary thereof or by any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as set forth in
Section 8.04) unless and until such time as the Company surrenders them to the Trustee for cancellation and, upon receipt of a Company
Order, the Trustee shall cancel all Notes so surrendered.
27
Article 3
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 3.01. Satisfaction
and Discharge. (a) This Indenture and the Notes shall cease to be of further effect when (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated
and delivered (other than (x) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced, paid or converted as
provided in Section 2.06 and (y) Notes for whose payment money has heretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held
in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 4.04(d)) have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) the Company has deposited with the Trustee or delivered to Holders, as applicable,
after the Notes have become due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date,
the Specified Repurchase Date, upon conversion or otherwise, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, as applicable, solely
to satisfy the Company’s Conversion Obligation, sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes and all other sums due and payable
under this Indenture or the Notes by the Company; and (b) the Trustee upon request of the Company contained in an Officer’s
Certificate and at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments requested by the Company acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, when the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
and the Notes have been complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or
removal of the Trustee, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.06 shall survive.
Article 4
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
Section 4.01. Payment
of Principal and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be paid the principal (including the Redemption
Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and
unpaid interest on, each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes.
Any applicable withholding taxes (including backup
withholding) may be set off against interest and payments upon conversion, repurchase or maturity of the Notes, or if any withholding
taxes (including backup withholding) are paid on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner, those withholding taxes may be set off against
payments of cash or Common Stock, if any, payable on the Notes (or, in some circumstances, any payments on the Common Stock) or sales
proceeds received by, or other funds or assets of, the Holder or beneficial owner.
Section 4.02. Maintenance
of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain within the contiguous United States of America, an office or agency where the Notes
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase (“Paying Agent”)
or for conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes
and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location,
of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish
the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office or the office or agency of the Trustee within the contiguous United States of America.
28
The Company may also from time to time designate
as co-Note Registrars one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve
the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency within the contiguous United States of America, for such purposes. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or
other offices or agencies, as applicable.
The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee
as the Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Conversion Agent and the Corporate Trust Office as the office or agency within the
contiguous United States of America, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment
or repurchase or for conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served; provided that the Corporate Trust Office shall not be a place for service of legal process for the Company.
Section 4.03. Appointments
to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee,
will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.
Section 4.04. Provisions
as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying
Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section 4.04:
(i) that
it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes
in trust for the benefit of the Holders;
(ii) that
it will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption
Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and
unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and
(iii) that
at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums
so held in trust.
(iv) The
Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and
the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified
Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due
date, such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.
29
(b) If
the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest
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
(including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable)
and accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and
of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same
shall become due and payable.
(c) Anything
in this Section 4.04 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, cause to be paid or deliver to the Trustee all sums or amounts held in trust
by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums or amounts to be held by the Trustee upon
the trusts herein contained and upon such payment or delivery by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.
(d) Subject
to applicable escheatment laws, any money and shares of Common Stock deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified
Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on and the consideration due upon conversion of any Note
and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and
the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable), interest or consideration due upon conversion has become due and payable
shall be paid to the Company on request of the Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money and shares of Common Stock,
and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
(e) Upon
any Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i), the Trustee shall automatically become the Paying
Agent if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent at such time.
30
Section 4.05. Existence.
Subject to Article 11, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect
its corporate existence.
Section 4.06. Rule 144A
Information Requirement and Annual Reports. (a) At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall, at
such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly
provide to the Trustee and, upon written request, any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes or any shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Notes, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under
the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A.
(b) The
Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of any annual
or quarterly reports (on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q or any respective successor form) that the Company is required to file with
the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any such information, documents or reports, or
portions thereof, subject to confidential treatment and any correspondence with the Commission, and after giving effect to any grace period
provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act (or any successor thereto), which grace period, for the avoidance of doubt, shall
be deemed applicable whether or not the Company checks the box in the relevant Rule 12b-25 filing indicating that it expects to file
such report within the applicable Rule 12b-25 grace period). Any such document or report that the Company files with the Commission
via the Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor system) shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) at
the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor), it being understood that the Trustee shall not be responsible
for determining whether such filings have been made.
(c) Delivery
of the reports, information and documents described in subsection (b) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and
the information and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).
(d) If,
at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the Last Original Issue Date, the
Company fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, as applicable (other than reports on Form 8-K and after giving effect to all applicable grace periods under the
Exchange Act, including any grace periods provided by Rule 12b-25 (or any successor rule), which grace period for the avoidance of
doubt, shall be deemed applicable whether or not the Company checks the box in the relevant Rule 12b-25 filing indicating it expects
to file such report within the applicable Rule 12b-25 grace period), or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144
by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three
months immediately preceding (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes),
the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes.
31
Such Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes
at the rate of (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each of the first 90 days and (ii) 0.50%
per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day from, and including, the 91st day during such period for which
the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144
by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three
months immediately preceding) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes. As used
in this Section 4.06(d), documents or reports that the Company is required to “file” with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act does not include documents or reports that the Company furnishes to the Commission pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 4.06(d), the phrase “restrictions pursuant
to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes” shall not include, for the avoidance of doubt, the assignment
of a restricted CUSIP number, the existence of the Restrictive Notes Legend on Notes in compliance with Section 2.05(c) during
the six-month period described in this Section 4.06(d).
(e) If,
and for so long as, the Restrictive Notes Legend on the Notes specified in Section 2.05(c) has not been removed, the Notes are
assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the
Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding
(without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes) as of the 385th day after the Last
Original Issue Date, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount
of Notes outstanding until the Restrictive Notes Legend on the Notes has been removed in accordance with Section 2.05(c), the Notes
are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Notes are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s
Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding) without restrictions
pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes; provided, however, that no such Additional Interest shall
accrue or be owed until the fifth Business Day following written notification to the Company by any Holder or beneficial owner of the
Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) requesting that the Company comply with its obligations described in this paragraph (which notice may
be given at any time after the 330th day after the Last Original Issue Date), it being understood and agreed that in no event shall such
Additional Interest accrue or be owed for any period prior to the 385th day after the Last Original Issue Date.
(f) Additional
Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes;
provided that if Additional Interest begins to accrue on any Global Note on or after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and
prior to the open of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Additional Interest that accrues during such period will
be due on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding such corresponding Interest Payment Date, and no interest shall accrue in respect
of such delay.
(g) Subject
to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Additional Interest that is payable in accordance with Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e) shall
be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Additional Interest that may be payable as a result of the Company’s election as the
sole remedy for a Reporting Event of Default. However, in no event shall Additional Interest accrue for the Company’s failure to
comply with its obligations to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the Commission 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), as set forth in Section 4.06(d), together with any Additional Interest that may accrue at the Company’s
election as the sole remedy for a Reporting Event of Default, at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to this Indenture, regardless
of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.
32
(h) If
Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e), the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect 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 at the
Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may conclusively assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable.
If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
(i) The
accrual of Additional Interest to the extent provided in Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e) will be the exclusive
remedy available to Holders for failure of their Notes to become “freely tradable” as such term is used in Section 4.06(d) and
4.06(e).
Section 4.07. Stay,
Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon,
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would
prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company
(to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not,
by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.08. Compliance
Certificate; Statements as to Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year
of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2026) an Officer’s Certificate stating whether the signers
thereof have knowledge of any Event of Default that occurred during the previous year and, if so, specifying each such Event of Default
and the nature thereof.
In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee,
within 30 days after the Company obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, an Officer’s Certificate
setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default, its status and the action that the Company is taking or proposing to take
in respect thereof; provided that the Company is not required to deliver such notice if such Event of Default or Default has been
cured or is no longer continuing.
33
Section 4.09. Further
Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further
acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.
Section 4.10. Increase
of Authorized and Unissued Shares. The Company shall use its best efforts to increase the number of authorized and unissued shares
of Common Stock to an amount that, together with other shares of Common Stock then reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Notes,
is sufficient to cover the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Number of Conversion Shares”) issuable upon
conversion of all then-outstanding Notes, assuming (x) Physical Settlement will apply to such conversion; and (y) the Conversion
Rate is increased by the maximum amount pursuant to which the Conversion Rate may be increased pursuant to Section 14.03. The Company
shall seek the approval of a charter amendment to either (i) increase the number of authorized shares of its Common Stock that results
in a number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock at least sufficient to cover the Maximum Number of Conversion Shares (the
“Authorized Share Stockholder Approval”) or (ii) effect a reverse stock split of its Common Stock that results
in a number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock at least sufficient to cover the Maximum Number of Conversion Shares (the
“Reverse Stock Split”), in each case, at a meeting of its stockholders to be held as promptly as practicable after
the date of this Indenture, and in any case no later than September 30, 2026, and the Company’s Board of Directors will endorse
such approval in the related proxy materials. Upon receipt of the Authorized Share Stockholder Approval or the Reverse Stock Split stockholder
approval, the Company shall take all actions necessary to execute such increase in the share authorization or the reverse stock split
promptly. If the Company does not obtain the Authorized Share Stockholder Approval or the Reverse Stock Split stockholder approval at
such stockholder meeting, the Company shall use its best efforts to (1) secure the Authorized Share Stockholder Approval or Reverse
Stock Split stockholder approval as soon as possible and (2) procure that the Company’s Board of Directors recommend endorse
such approval in the related proxy materials. If the Company obtains the Authorized Share Stockholder Approval or Reverse Stock Split
stockholder approval and implements the increase in authorized shares of Common Stock or the Reverse Stok Split, the Company shall reserve
the Maximum Number of Conversion Shares solely for issuance upon conversion of the outstanding Notes.
The first date on which the Company increases the
number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as described in the immediately preceding paragraph pursuant to the Authorized
Share Stockholder Approval or Reverse Stock Split stockholder approval, or otherwise increases the number of shares of Common Stock available
to settle conversions of the Notes, and, in each case, reserves the Maximum Number of Conversion Shares solely for issuance upon conversion
of the outstanding Notes as the “Reserved Share Effective Date.” The Company will notify the Trustee, the Conversion
Agent (if not the Trustee) and the Holders of the Reserved Share Effective Date no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after it occurs.
Article 5
LISTS OF HOLDERS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE
Section 5.01. Lists
of Holders. The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, semi-annually, not more
than 15 days after each May 1 and November 1 in each year beginning with November 1, 2026, and at such other times as the
Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request (or such lesser time as the Trustee may
reasonably request in order to enable it to timely provide any notice to be provided by it hereunder), a list in such form as the Trustee
may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders as of a date not more than 15 days (or such other date as the Trustee
may reasonably request in order to so provide any such notices) prior to the time such information is furnished, except that no such list
need be furnished so long as the Trustee is acting as Note Registrar.
34
Section 5.02. Preservation
and Disclosure of Lists. The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the
names and addresses of the Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 or maintained by
the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01
upon receipt of a new list so furnished.
Article 6
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 6.01. Events

(b) default
in the payment of principal of any Note when due and payable on the Maturity Date, upon Optional Redemption, upon any required repurchase,

35
(g) default
by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company 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 indebtedness for money borrowed with a principal amount in excess
of $10,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company and/or any such Significant Subsidiary, whether such
indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable
prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of any such indebtedness when due and payable
(after the expiration of all applicable grace periods) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration
or otherwise, and in the cases of clauses (i) and (ii), such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such failure
to pay or default shall not have been cured or waived, or such indebtedness is not paid or discharged, as the case may be, within 30 days
after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of Notes then outstanding in accordance with this Indenture;
(h) the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other
relief with respect to the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary 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
or any such Significant Subsidiary or any substantial part of its 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; or
(i) an
involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary seeking liquidation, reorganization
or other relief with respect to the Company or such Significant Subsidiary 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 or such Significant Subsidiary or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain
undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Section 6.01(g), “indebtedness
for money borrowed” shall not include any obligations due under any foreign exchange, currency option, currency swap or other similar
transaction.
Section 6.02. Acceleration;
Rescission and Annulment. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event
of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such
case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Company),
unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, by notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may (and the Trustee at the request of such Holders accompanied by security and/or indemnity
satisfactory to the Trustee and otherwise subject to the limitations in this Indenture shall) declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing,
100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be due and payable
immediately without any action on the part of the Trustee. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing the Trustee may pursue, in
its own name or as Trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal
of and interest on the notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess the Notes or does not product any of the Notes in a proceeding.
36
The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is
subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before
any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, and if (1) rescission
would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default
under this Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to pay interest, if any, due and payable on any Defaulted Amounts),
other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such
acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults
or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and 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 or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right
consequent thereon.
For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting
the manner in which any Default or Event of Default can be cured: (a) a failure by the Company to send a notice in accordance with
this Indenture and any related Default (or Event of Default) shall be deemed cured and shall cease to continue upon delivery of such notice
to the applicable recipient; (b) if the Company fails to make any payment of principal of or interest on the Notes (or delivery of
any other consideration in respect thereof) when due, such Default (or Event of Default) shall be deemed cured and shall cease to continue
upon the making of such payment or delivery, as applicable, together with any accrued interest thereon, if applicable; and (c) a
Reporting Event of Default shall be deemed cured and shall cease to continue at such time as the Company files the applicable report or
reports that gave rise to such Reporting Event of Default (it being understood that any report that the Company files with the Commission
through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be filed with the Trustee at the time such report is so filed via
the EDGAR system (or such successor)); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the cure of any Event of Default shall
not invalidate any acceleration of the Notes on account of such Event of Default that was properly effected prior to such time as such
Event of Default was cured and (y) the cure of any Reporting Event of Default shall not affect the Company’s obligation to
pay any Additional Interest that accrues prior to the time of such cure. In addition, if an Event of Default is cured or waived before
any related notice of acceleration is delivered, such Event of Default shall be deemed cured and the Notes shall not be subject to acceleration
on account of such Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the immediately preceding two sentences shall constitute a
waiver of or in any way limit the Trustee’s or any Holder’s right to institute suit for any damages incurred as a result of
an Event of Default under this Indenture even if such Event of Default is subsequently cured.
37
Section 6.03. Additional
Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy
for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) (such
default, a “Reporting Event of Default”) shall, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default,
consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to (x) 0.25% per annum of the principal
amount of the Notes outstanding for each day that such Event of Default is continuing during the first 180 days after the occurrence of
such Event of Default and (y) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding from the 181st day to, and including,
the 365th day following the occurrence of such Event of Default, as long as such Event of Default is continuing. Subject to the last paragraph
of this Section 6.03, Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any
Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e). If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest
shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 366th day after such Event
of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) is
not cured or waived prior to such 366th day), the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.
The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than
the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In the event the Company does not elect
to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03 or the Company elected to make such
payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02
as a result of the Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(f) if such Event of Default is then continuing.
In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as
the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of a Reporting Event of Default, the Company must notify all Holders of
the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such election prior to the beginning of such 365-day
period. Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.
In no event shall Additional Interest payable at
the Company’s election as the sole remedy for a Reporting Event of Default, together with any Additional Interest that may accrue
as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the Commission
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), pursuant to Section 4.06(d), accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to
this Indenture, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.
Section 6.04. Payments
of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes,
the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest,
if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any
amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee,
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid,
may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes
and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other
obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
38
In the event there shall be pending proceedings
for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code,
or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar
official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other
obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors
or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file
and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in
case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may
deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to
the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the
Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar
official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, 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 reasonable
compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees and expenses, and including any other amounts due
to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable
compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of
the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property
that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization
or arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting such Holder 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.
39
All rights of action and of asserting claims under
this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production
thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or 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 any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and
in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee
shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any
such proceedings.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce
any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.09
or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee,
then and in every such case the Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored
respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders and the
Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 6.05. Application
of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the
Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies or property,
upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully
paid:
First, to the payment of all amounts due
the Trustee in all of its capacities under this Indenture;
Second, in case the principal of the outstanding
Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default
in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the
extent that such interest is payable on such Notes and has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate borne
by the Notes then payable on such Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;
Third, in case the principal of the outstanding
Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable,
the payment of the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price and any
cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal
and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the
Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then
to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified
Repurchase Date Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest,
or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other
Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and
40
Fourth, to the payment of the remainder,
if any, to the Company.
Section 6.06. Proceedings
by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price, the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery
of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a) such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;
(b) Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute
such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(c) such
Holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee such security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against
any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;
(d) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such security or indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and
(e) no
direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders
of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to Section 6.09,
it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by
the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee 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 Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder (it being understood that the Trustee
does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holder), or
to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders
(except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
41
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture
and any provision of any Note, each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal
(including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable)
of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the
respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment or delivery, as the case may be.
Section 6.07. Proceedings
by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in
it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit
in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable
right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
Section 6.08. Remedies
Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6
to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any
other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance
or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of
any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions
of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.
Section 6.09. Direction
of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. Subject to the Trustee’s right to receive security or indemnity
from the relevant Holders as described herein, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding
determined in accordance with Section 8.04 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 with respect to the Notes; provided,
however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee
shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder)
or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or
Event of Default hereunder and its consequences (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any acceleration as a result of such Default or
Event of Default) except any continuing defaults relating to (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on, or the principal (including any Redemption Price, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase
Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, (ii) a failure by the Company
to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant
or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note
affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event
of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
42
Section 6.10. Notice
of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within the later of 90 days after the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible
Officer has actual knowledge and promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, deliver to all Holders notice of all Defaults actually known
to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that,
except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price and the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default

so long as it determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking
to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made

circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any
of the Holders unless such Holders have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against
any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
No provision of this Indenture shall be construed
to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:
(a) prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written or actual knowledge and after the curing
or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred:

be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants
or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii) in
the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, conclusively rely upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations

Notes;
(f) if
any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to

a Responsible Officer of the Trustee had actual knowledge of such event;
(g) the
Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts and powers under this Indenture;
(h) in
the absence of written investment direction from the Company, all cash received by the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing
trust account, and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses, fees, taxes or other
charges incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity date or the
failure of the party directing such investments prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide
timely written investment direction, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the
absence of such written investment direction from the Company;

or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

Trustee shall not be obligated to take possession of any Common Stock, whether upon conversion or in connection with any discharge of
this Indenture pursuant to Article 3 hereof, but shall satisfy its obligation as Conversion Agent by working through the stock transfer
agent of the Company from time to time as directed by the Company; and
(m) neither
the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled
to indemnification or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, or expense caused by taking or not taking such action.

on Documents, Opinions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,

47
Section 7.04. Trustee,
Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Note Registrar May Own Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or Note

Section 7.05. Monies
and Shares of Common Stock to Be Held in Trust. All monies and shares of Common Stock received by the Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money and shares of Common Stock held by the
Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money or shares of Common Stock received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the
Company and the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be obligated to take possession of any Common Stock, whether upon conversion or in connection
with any discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 3 hereof, but shall satisfy its obligation as Conversion Agent by working
through the stock transfer agent of the Company from time to time as directed by the Company.
Section 7.06. Compensation
and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, in any capacity under this Indenture, from time to
time and the Trustee shall receive such compensation agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by
it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust) as previously and mutually agreed to in writing between the Trustee and the Company, and the Company will pay or reimburse the
Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance
with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity thereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have
been caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document
or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against,
any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, its
officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, as determined by a final, non-appealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture
or in any other capacity hereunder and the enforcement of this Indenture (including this Section 7.06), including the costs and expenses
of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to
compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a
senior lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject
to the effect of Section 6.05, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes, and, for the avoidance
of doubt, such lien shall not be extended in a manner that would conflict with the Company’s obligations to its other creditors.
The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability
or indebtedness of the Company. The obligation of the Company under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the
officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee.
48
Without prejudice to any other rights available
to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for
the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.
Section 7.07. Officer’s
Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this
Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence
and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct on the part
of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon
the faith thereof.
Section 7.08. Eligibility
of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture
Act (as if the Trust Indenture Act were applicable hereto) to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.
If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign promptly in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.
Section 7.09. Resignation
or Removal of Trustee.
(a) The
Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by delivering notice thereof to the Holders.
Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to
the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 45 days after the giving
of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, upon ten Business Days’
notice to the Company and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment
of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of
this Indenture) may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated,
petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
49
(b) In
case at any time any of the following shall occur:
(i) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or
(ii) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property
shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in either case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy
of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions
of Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this
Indenture) may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.
(c) The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 8.04,
may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within
ten days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder,
upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 7.09(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for an appointment of a successor trustee.
(d) Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09
shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.
Section 7.10. Acceptance
by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of
the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein;
but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of
any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and
powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money
or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes,
to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.
50
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 7.08.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee
as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the
Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders. If the Company fails
to deliver such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be delivered at the expense of the Company.
Section 7.11. Succession
by Merger, Etc. Any organization or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any organization or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
organization or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration
of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any organization or other entity succeeding to all or substantially
all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such organization or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.
In case at the time such successor to the Trustee
shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor
to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor
trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor
to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor
trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it
is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however,
that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor
trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 7.12. Trustee’s
Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than
with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes
under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee
under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall
not be liable to the Company for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application
on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date notice to the
Company has been deemed given pursuant to Section 17.03, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date),
unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions
in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.
51
Article 8
CONCERNING THE HOLDERS
Section 8.01. Action
by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking
of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein
may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or
proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and
held in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such
record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes,
the Company or the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining
Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement
of solicitation of such action.
Section 8.02. Proof
of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 9.05, proof of the execution
of any instrument or writing by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall
be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in
the manner provided in Section 9.06.
Section 8.03. Who
Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note
Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute
owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made
by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal (including
any Redemption Price, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price) of and (subject to Section 2.03)
accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes under this Indenture; and neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected nor incur any liability
by any notice to the contrary. The sole registered holder of a Global Note shall be the Depositary or its nominee. All such payments or
deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common
Stock so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares deliverable upon any such Note.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest
in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action
of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
52
Section 8.04. Company-Owned
Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction,
consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Company, by any Subsidiary thereof or by any Affiliate
of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination;
provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent,
waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that
have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish
to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company,
a Subsidiary thereof or an Affiliate of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by
the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish
to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or
held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to
accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed
therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.
Section 8.05. Revocation
of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01,
of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture
in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have
consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided
in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange
or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon
such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

53
(b) to
remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article 7;

any other provision of this Indenture or under applicable law.
Section 9.02. Call
of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders to take any action specified in Section 9.01, to
be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Holders, setting forth the time
and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting and the establishment of any record
date pursuant to Section 8.01, shall be delivered to Holders of such Notes. Such notice shall also be delivered to the Company. Such
notices shall be delivered not less than 20 nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.
Any meeting of Holders shall be valid without notice
if the Holders of all Notes then outstanding are present in person or by proxy or if notice is waived before or after the meeting by the
Holders of all Notes then outstanding, and if the Company and the Trustee are either present by duly authorized representatives or have,
before or after the meeting, waived notice.
Section 9.03. Call
of Meetings by Company or Holders. In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least 10%
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders, by written
request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have delivered the
notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders may determine the time and the place
for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 9.01, by delivering notice thereof as provided
in Section 9.02.
Section 9.04. Qualifications
for Voting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders a Person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Notes on the record

on the record date pertaining to such meeting. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders
shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any
representatives of the Company and its counsel.
Section 9.05. Regulations.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable
for any meeting of Holders, in regard to proof of the holding of Notes and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment
and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and
such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit.
54
The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing,
appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 9.03,
in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes represented at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.04,
at any meeting of Holders each Holder or proxyholder shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held or represented
by him or her; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged
as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to
vote other than by virtue of Notes held by it or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating it as the proxy to vote on behalf
of other Holders. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 may be adjourned
from time to time by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented at the meeting, whether or not constituting
a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.
Section 9.06. Voting.
The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures
of the Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes held or represented by
them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or
against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all
votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the
meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat
and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that
said notice was delivered as provided in Section 9.02. The record shall show the aggregate principal amount of the Notes voting in
favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary
of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee,
the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.
Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive
evidence of the matters therein stated.
Section 9.07. No
Delay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing contained in this Article 9 shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason
of any call of a meeting of Holders or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay
in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of the Notes.

(k) to
increase the Conversion Rate as provided in this Indenture;
(l) to
provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee, Note Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to facilitate the administration

provided, however, that no such election or elimination will affect any Settlement Method theretofore elected (or deemed
to be elected) with respect to any Note pursuant to the provisions of Article 14.
Upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee
is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter
into any supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
56
Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions
of this Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the
time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02.
Section 10.02. Supplemental
Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 8) of the Holders of at least a majority
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (determined in accordance with Article 8 and including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, Notes), the Company and the Trustee,
at the Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time 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, the Notes or any
supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that, without the consent

(b) reduce
the rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note;

(f) make
any Note payable in a currency, or at a place of payment, other than that stated in the Note;
(g) change
the ranking of the Notes;
(h) eliminate
the contractual right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of its right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may
be, of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price or Redemption
Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and the consideration due upon conversion of, its Notes, on or after
the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes or this Indenture; or
57
(i) make
any change in this Article 10 that requires each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions in Section 6.02 or Section 6.09.
Upon the written request of the Company, and upon
the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid and subject to Section 10.05, the Trustee shall join
with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into such supplemental indenture.
Holders do not need under this Section 10.02
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture. It shall be sufficient if such Holders approve the substance thereof.
After any such supplemental indenture becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to the Holders a notice briefly describing such supplemental
indenture. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity
of the supplemental indenture.
Section 10.03. Effect
of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10,
this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties, indemnities, privileges and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders shall thereafter
be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 10.04. Notation
on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10
may, at the Company’s expense, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared
and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 17.10)
and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then outstanding.
Section 10.05. Evidence
of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished Trustee. In addition to the documents required by Section 17.05, the
Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture
executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 10 and is permitted or authorized by this Indenture (such
Opinion of Counsel to include a customary legal opinion stating that such supplemental indenture is the valid and binding obligation
of the Company, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications). The Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether
any amendment or supplemental indenture will or may have an adverse effect on any Holder.
58
Article 11
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, CONVEYANCE AND LEASE
Section 11.01. Company
May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, the Company shall not consolidate with,
merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (each, a “Business Combination Event”) (other than any such
sale, conveyance, transfer or lease to one or more of the Company’s direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiaries) unless:
(a) the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person, if not the Company, shall be a Qualified Successor Entity (such Qualified Successor Entity,
the “Successor Entity”) organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia, and the Successor Entity (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture all of the obligations
of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture; and immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture.
(b) For
purposes of this Section 11.01, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets
of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to another Person, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries,
would constitute all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
shall be deemed to be the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person.
Section 11.02. Successor
Entity to Be Substituted. In case of any such Business Combination Event and upon the assumption by the Successor Entity, by supplemental
indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal
of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration
due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed by the Company, such Successor Entity (if not the Company) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially
all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be substituted for the Company,
with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and may thereafter exercise every right and power
of the Company under this Indenture. Such Successor Entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or
in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Entity instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions
and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered,
any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and
any Notes that such Successor Entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes
so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the
event of any Business Combination Event (except in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 11 the Person named as
the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner
prescribed in this Article 11) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease,
such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture and
the Notes.
59
In case of any Business Combination Event, such
changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.
Article 12
IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Section 12.01. Indenture
and Notes Solely Corporate Obligations. No recourse for the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest on any Note,
nor for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of
the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, nor because of the creation of any indebtedness represented
thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, Officer or director or Subsidiary, as such, past, present
or future, of the Company or of any successor entity, either directly or through the Company or any successor entity, whether by virtue
of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly
understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution
of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes.
Article 13
[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
Article 14
CONVERSION OF NOTES
Section 14.01. Conversion
Privilege.
(a) Prior
to the Conversion Limit End Date, the Notes are not convertible pursuant to this Indenture. On or after the Conversion Limit End Date
and subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s
option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such
Note prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial
conversion rate of 372.7866 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 14, the “Conversion
Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 14.02,
the “Conversion Obligation”).
60
(b) If,
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 15, 2034, the Company elects to:
(i) distribute
to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than in connection with a stockholder rights
plan prior to the separation of such rights from the Common Stock) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after
the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less
than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including,
the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution; or
(ii) distribute
to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Company’s assets, securities or rights to purchase securities
of the Company (other than in connection with a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of such rights from the Common Stock), which
distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price
of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,
then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes,
the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend
Date for such distribution (or, if later in the case of any such separation of rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes aware that such separation or triggering event has occurred or will occur); provided,
however, that if the Company is then otherwise permitted to settle conversions of Notes by Physical Settlement (and, for the avoidance
of doubt, has not irrevocably elected another Settlement Method for conversions of Notes), then the Company may instead elect to provide
such notice at least ten (10) Scheduled Trading Days prior to such Ex-Dividend Date, in which case the Company shall be required
to settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date occurring during the period on or after the date the Company provides such notice
and before such Ex-Dividend Date (or, if earlier, the date the Company announces that such issuance or distribution will not take place)
by Physical Settlement, and the Company shall describe the same in such notice.
(c) If
(i) the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes for Optional Redemption pursuant to Article 16, and
the Holder of any Note is reasonably not able to determine, prior to the close of business on the 29th Scheduled Trading Day
immediately before the relevant Redemption Date (or if, as permitted by Section 16.02(a), the Company delivers a Notice of Redemption
electing Physical Settlement not less than 10 nor more than 50 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the related Redemption Date, then prior
to close of business on the 9th Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the relevant Redemption Date), whether such Note or
beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such Optional Redemption, and (ii) such Holder or owner, as applicable,
converts such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, during the Redemption Period, such conversion will be deemed to be of a Note
called for Optional Redemption, and such Note or beneficial interest will be deemed called for Optional Redemption solely for the purposes
of such conversion (“Deemed Redemption”). Accordingly, if the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding
Notes pursuant to Article 16, Holders of the Notes that are not Called Notes will not be entitled to an increase in the Conversion
Rate on account of the Notice of Redemption as set forth under Section 14.03 during the related Redemption Period, except as described
in the immediately preceding sentence.
61
Section 14.02. Conversion
Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.
(a) Subject
to this Section 14.02, Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall satisfy
its Conversion Obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount
of Notes being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu
of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02 (“Physical
Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any
fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02 (“Combination Settlement”),
at its election, as set forth in this Section 14.02; provided that unless and until the Reserved Share Effective Date occurs, the
Company will be deemed to have elected Cash Settlement in respect of each conversion of Notes.
(i) All
conversions of Called Notes for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related Redemption Period shall be settled using
the same Settlement Method, and all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after February 15, 2034, shall
be settled using the same Settlement Method.
(ii) Except
for any conversions of Called Notes for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related Redemption Period, and any conversions
for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after February 15, 2034, and except to the extent the Company has irrevocably
elected Physical Settlement pursuant to Section 14.01(b) in a notice as described in such Section or previously made an
irrevocable election with respect to all subsequent conversions in accordance with Section 14.02(a)(iii), the Company shall use the
same Settlement Method for all conversions with the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same
Settlement Method with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates.
(iii) If,
in respect of any Conversion Date (or any conversions of Called Notes for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related
Redemption Period, or for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after February 15, 2034 or for which the Company has irrevocably
elected Physical Settlement pursuant to Section 14.01(b) in a notice as described in such Section), the Company elects to deliver
a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period,
as the case may be), the Company shall deliver such Settlement Notice to converting Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if
other than the Trustee) no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or,
in the case of any conversions (A) of Called Notes for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the related Redemption Period,
in such Notice of Redemption (and, in the case of a redemption of less than all outstanding Notes, in a notice simultaneously sent to
all Holders of Notes that are not Called Notes), (B) for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after February 15,
2034, no later than February 15, 2034 or (C) to the extent the Company has irrevocably elected Physical Settlement pursuant
to Section 14.01(b) in a notice as described in such Section) (in each case, the “Settlement Method Election Deadline”);
provided that unless the Reserved Share Effective Date has occurred on or prior to the Settlement Method Election Deadline applicable
to a conversion, the Company shall not be permitted to elect a Settlement Method and instead Cash Settlement shall apply, in each case,
in respect of such conversion. If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the Settlement Method Election Deadline, the
Company shall no longer have the right to elect a Settlement Method with respect to any conversion on such Conversion Date or during such
period, and the Company shall be deemed to have elected the Default Settlement Method with respect to such conversion. Such Settlement
Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement
Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. If the Company delivers a Settlement Notice electing
Combination Settlement (or is deemed to have elected Combination Settlement) in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate
a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes to be converted in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be $1,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s failure to timely elect
a Settlement Method or specify as applicable a Specified Dollar Amount will not constitute a Default under this Indenture.
62
By notice to Holders, the Company may
from time to time on or after the Reserved Share Effective Date, prior to February 15, 2034, at its option, change the Default Settlement
Method. In addition, by notice to Holders, the Company may, on or after the Reserved Share Effective Date and prior to February 15,
2034, at its option, irrevocably elect to satisfy its Conversion Obligation with respect to the Notes through any Settlement Method that
the Company is then permitted to elect, including Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes of $1,000 or with an ability to continue to set the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes at or above a specific
amount set forth in such election notice. If after the Reserved Share Effective Date the Company changes the Default Settlement Method
or irrevocably elects to fix the Settlement Method, in either case, to Combination Settlement with an ability to continue to set the Specified
Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes at or above a specific amount, the Company will, after the date of such change or election,
as the case may be, inform Holders converting their Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing
of such Specified Dollar Amount no later than the relevant Settlement Method Election Deadline, or, if the Company does not timely notify
Holders, such Specified Dollar Amount will be the specific amount set forth in the election notice or, if no specific amount was set forth
in the election notice, such Specified Dollar Amount will be $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. A change in the Default Settlement
Method or an irrevocable election shall apply for all conversions of Notes with Conversion Dates occurring subsequent to delivery of such
notice; provided, however, that no such change or election will affect any Settlement Method theretofore elected (or deemed
to be elected) with respect to any Note. For the avoidance of doubt, such an irrevocable election, if made by the Company, will be effective
without the need to amend this Indenture or the Notes, including pursuant to Section 10.01(m). However, the Company may nonetheless
choose to execute such an amendment at its option. If after the Reserved Share Effective Date the Company changes the Default Settlement
Method or it irrevocably fixes the Settlement Method pursuant to the provisions set forth in this paragraph, then, concurrently with providing
notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such change or election, the Company shall
either post the Default Settlement Method or fixed Settlement Method, as the case may be, on its website or disclose the same in a Current
Report on Form 8-K (or any successor form) that is filed with the Commission.
(iv) The
cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement
Amount”) shall be computed as follows:
(A) if
the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement,
the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date;
(B) if
the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement,
the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted cash in an amount equal
to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and
(C) if
the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement,
the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being
converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the
related Observation Period.
(v) The
Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following
the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values,
as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall notify
the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the
case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent
(if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.
(vi) The
Settlement Amount will also include cash in respect of accrued and unpaid interest to the extent provided in Section 14.02(h).
63
(b) Subject
to Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in
the case of a Global Note, comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and (ii) in the case of
a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of
Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission thereof) (a notice pursuant to the applicable procedures of
the Depositary or a notice as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion, a “Notice of Conversion”) at the
office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with
addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement
of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied
by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent and (3) if required, furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents. The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant
to this Article 14 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notes may be surrendered for conversion by a Holder thereof if
such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice to the Company in
respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase
Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for
conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(c) A
Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”)
that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. Except as set forth in Section 14.03(b) and
Section 14.07(a), the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation
on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Company elects Physical Settlement (provided
that, with respect to any Conversion Date following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date where Physical
Settlement applies to the related conversion, the Company shall settle any such conversion on the Maturity Date), or on the second Business
Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method. If any shares of
Common Stock are due to a converting Holder, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver (if applicable) to the Conversion
Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall
be entitled, in book-entry format through the Depositary, in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.
(d) In
case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if
required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax
or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of
the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.
64
(e) If
a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue
or delivery of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued
in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver
the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives
a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(f) Except
as provided in Section 14.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion
of any Note as provided in this Article 14.
(g) Upon
the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on
such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(h) Unless
a Holder converts Notes after the close of business on a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date,
it will receive a cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the applicable Conversion Date.
If Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date, Holders at the close of business
on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
(i) The
Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the
close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement)
or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Combination
Settlement), as the case may be. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.
(j) The
Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering
any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Conversion Date (or, if such Conversion
Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day), in the case of Physical Settlement, or based on the Daily VWAP for
the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, in the case of Combination Settlement. For each Note surrendered for conversion,
if the Company has elected (or is deemed to have elected) Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and any
fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.
65
(k) Until
stockholder approval for the issuance of common stock pursuant to a conversion of the Notes is obtained, the maximum number of common
stock the Company shall issue pursuant to any conversion of Notes by physical settlement shall be 67,629,947 shares of Common Stock to
comply with Nasdaq Rule 5635(d). Any conversion of Notes shall be settled by cash settlement only if settlement by the issuance of
Common Stock would violate Nasdaq Rule 5635(d).
Section 14.03. Increased
Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes or a Notice of Redemption.
(a) If
(i) the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes
in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or (ii) the Company delivers a Notice of Redemption as provided under Section 16.02
and a Holder elects to convert its Called Notes in connection with such Notice of Redemption, as the case may be, the Company shall, under
the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional
shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these
purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Notice of Redemption if (x) in the case of
a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the period from, and including, the Effective Date of the
Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business 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 (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole
Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”) or (y) in the case of a Notice of
Redemption, the relevant Conversion Date for conversions of Called Notes occurs during the related Redemption Period. For the avoidance
of doubt, if the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to Article 16, Holders of the Notes that
are not Called Notes will not be entitled to convert such Notes on account of the Notice of Redemption and will not be entitled to an
increase in the Conversion Rate (on account of the Notice of Redemption) during the applicable Redemption Period, even if such Notes are
otherwise convertible and are converted during the related Redemption Period.
(b) Upon
surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or upon surrender of Called Notes during a Redemption
Period, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination
Settlement in accordance with Section 14.02; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the
Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash
per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any increase to reflect the Additional Shares),
multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the
second Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other
than the Trustee) in writing of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective
Date.
66
(c) The
number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased for conversions in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change or, with respect to conversions of Called Notes, during the related Redemption Period shall be determined by reference to the table
below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective or the date the Company delivers the Notice
of Redemption, as the case may be (in each case, the “Effective Date”), and the price (the “Stock Price”)
paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or determined with respect to the Notice
of Redemption, as the case may be. If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of 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 five consecutive
Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Effective Date. If a conversion of Called
Notes during a Redemption Period would also be deemed to be in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a Holder of any such Notes
to be converted will be entitled to a single increase to the Conversion Rate with respect to the first to occur of the Effective Date
of the Notice of Redemption or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as applicable, and the later event shall be deemed not to have occurred
for purposes of this Section 14.03.
(d) The
Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the
Notes 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 Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment
and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall
be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 14.04.
(e) The
following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes pursuant to this Section 14.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not
be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(i) if
the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the
number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between
the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable,
based on a 365-day year;
(ii) if
the Stock Price is greater than $25.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column
headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and
(iii) if
the Stock Price is less than $1.85 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings
of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 540.5405 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion
Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.
(f) Nothing
in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate that would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 14.04
in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Section 14.04. Adjustment
of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs,
except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case
of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders
of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without
having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record
Date for the applicable transaction, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
68
(a) If
the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects
a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or
immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
CR’ =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date;
OS0 =
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date
(before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, split or combination); and
OS’ =
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share
combination.
Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become
effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open
of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type
described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted,
effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
69
(b) If
the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to
a stockholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution,
to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices
of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date
of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR’ =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
OS0 =
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
X =
the total number of shares of Common Stock distributable 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 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including,
the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants.
Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made
successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the open of business
on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of
such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase
with respect to the distribution 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 distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to
the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and
for the purpose of Section 14.01(b)(i), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock
to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than such average of the Last Reported Sale
Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 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 Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise
or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith.
70
(c) If
the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights,
options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding
(i) dividends, distributions or issuances (including share splits) as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(a) or
Section 14.04(b), (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 14.11, rights issued pursuant to any stockholder rights
plan of the Company then in effect, (iii) distributions of Reference Property in exchange for, or upon conversion of, Common Stock
in a Share Exchange Event, (iv) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 14.04(d) shall
apply, and (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares
of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other
securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR’ =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP0 =
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period 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 Company in good faith) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share
of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above
shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not
so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not
been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as
defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof,
at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed
Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect
on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital
Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are,
or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the
Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
71
where,
CR0 =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
CR’ =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
FMV0 =
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock
applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01
as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading
Day period after, 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.
The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding
paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that (x) in respect
of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period,
the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as
have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion
Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading
Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Valuation Period, the reference to “10”
in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including,
the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day of
such Observation Period. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion
Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution,
to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.
72
For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and
subject in all respect to Section 14.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under
certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):
(i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued
in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and
no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger
Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required)
to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing
rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such
rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date
of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights,
options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on
such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights,
options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto
that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was
made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by
any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options
or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed
distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase
price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained
such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in
the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion
Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and
this Section 14.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable also includes one or
both of:
(A) a
dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”);
or
(B) a
dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),
then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other
than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is
applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.04(c) with
respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed
to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b) with
respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause
A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any
shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately
prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding
immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b).
73
(d) If
the Company makes any cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall
be adjusted based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR’ =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
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; and
C =
the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.
Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become
effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution
is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay
such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above),
in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes it holds, at the same
time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such
Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.
74
(e) If
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock that is subject to
the then applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act (other than any odd-lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash
and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale
Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the
last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased
based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following,
and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
CR’ =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including,
the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
AC =
the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company in good faith) paid or payable for shares
of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0 =
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving
effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
OS’ =
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect
to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP’ =
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including,
the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall
occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date
such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement
is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day
next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding
paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding
the date that such tender or exchange offer expires to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in
respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within
the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day
next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding
paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding
the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such
Trading Day of such Observation Period.
75
If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated
to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 14.04(e) but the
Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded,
the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not
been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been made.
(f) Notwithstanding
this Section 14.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any
Ex-Dividend Date, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date
would be treated as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 14.02(i) based
on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 14.04,
the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall
be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related
dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.
(g) Except
as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable
securities.
(h) In
addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 14.04, and subject to applicable
exchange listing rules, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business
Days if the Company determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, subject to applicable exchange
listing rules, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of
Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or
rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:
(i) upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock at a price below the Conversion Price or otherwise, other than any such issuance described
in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 14.04;
(ii) 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 the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(iii) 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 or incentive plan or program (including pursuant to any evergreen plan) of or assumed by the Company or any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries;
76
(iv) upon
the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security
not described in clause (iii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;
(v) for
a third-party tender offer by any party other than a tender offer by one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries as described in clause
(e) of this Section 14.04;
(vi) upon
the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open market share purchase program or other buy-back transaction, including
structured or derivative transactions such as accelerated share repurchase transactions or similar forward derivatives, or other buy-back
transaction, that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the kind described under clause (e) of this Section 14.04;
(vii) solely
for a change in the par value (or lack of par value) of the Common Stock;
(viii) upon
a spin-off of the Company’s regenerative cell therapy platform, including the OrthoCellix NeoCart® technology for the treatment
of knee articular cartilage defects, in connection with the Company’s previously announced intent to continue to explore alternatives
for its regenerative cell therapy platform; or
(ix) for
accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
(j) All
calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten
thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.
(k) If
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Section 14.04 would result in a change of less than 1% to the Conversion
Rate, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its election, defer and carry forward such adjustment, except that all
such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) when all such deferred
adjustments would result in an aggregate change of at least 1% to the Conversion Rate, (ii) on the Conversion Date for any Notes
(in the case of Physical Settlement), (iii) on each Trading Day of any Observation Period related to any conversion of Notes (in
the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement), (iv) February 15, 2034, (v) on any date on which the Company delivers
a Notice of Redemption and (vi) on the effective date of any Fundamental Change and/or Make-Whole Fundamental Change, in each case,
unless the adjustment has already been made.
(l) Whenever
the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not
the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement
of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s
Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry
that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall
prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment
becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder. Failure to deliver such notice
shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
77
(m) For
purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock
held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock
held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu
of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
Section 14.05. Adjustments
of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs,
the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, an Observation
Period and the period, if any, for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Notice of Redemption),
the Company shall, in good faith, make appropriate adjustments (without duplication in respect of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 14.04)
to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs at any time during the period
when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.
Section 14.06. Shares
to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall at all times provide free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or
shares held in treasury, a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such
Notes are presented for conversion (assuming delivery of the maximum number of Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03 and that
at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder and that Physical Settlement
were applicable).
Section 14.07. Effect
of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.
(a) In
the case of:
(i) any
recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a change to par value, or from par value to no par value,
or changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any
consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Company,
(iii) any
sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially
as an entirety or
(iv) any
statutory share exchange,
78
in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted
into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event,
a “Share Exchange Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the right to convert
each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount
of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled
to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the
kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Share Exchange Event
and, prior to or at the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, as the case may
be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(g) providing for such change in the
right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Share
Exchange Event (A) the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, as the case may be, shall continue to have the right to determine
the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02
and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall continue to
be payable in cash, (II) the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Company would have been required to deliver upon
conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property
that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Share Exchange Event and (III) the Daily VWAP
shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received
in such Share Exchange Event.
If the Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock
to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any
form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the
weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of
Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable
to one share of Common Stock. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing
of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash
in such Share Exchange Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such
Share Exchange Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an
amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03),
multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Share Exchange Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the
Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.
If the Reference Property in respect of any such
Share Exchange Event includes, in whole or in part, shares of Common Equity or American depositary receipts (or other interests) in respect
thereof, such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other
adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14 with respect to
the portion of the Reference Property consisting of such Common Equity or American depositary receipts (or other interests) in respect
thereof. If, in the case of any Share Exchange Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or
assets (including any combination thereof), other than cash and/or cash equivalents, of a Person other than the Company or the successor
or acquiring Person, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such
other Person, if such Person is an Affiliate of the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, and shall contain such additional provisions
to protect the interests of the Holders as the Company shall in good faith reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including
the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 15.
79
If the Notes become convertible into Reference
Property, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and issue a press release containing
the relevant information, disclose the relevant information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or post such information on the Company’s
website.
(b) When
the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.07, the Company shall promptly file
with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property
or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Share Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto
and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered notice thereof to all Holders.
The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution
thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(c) The
Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the
foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to convert its Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash
and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such
Share Exchange Event.
(d) The
above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.
Section 14.08. Certain
Covenants. (a) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable
by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(b) The
Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration
with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued
upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration
or approval, as the case may be.
(c) The
Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation
system the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system,
any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
80
Section 14.09. Responsibility
of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to
determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase)
of the Conversion 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 Conversion
Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any
securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other
Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any
failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property
or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants
of the Company contained in this Article 14. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion
Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered
into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash)
receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to
be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation)
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. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 14.01(b) has
occurred until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 14.01(b), on
which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee
and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 14.01(b).
Section 14.10. [Intentionally
Omitted].
Section 14.11. Stockholder
Rights Plans. If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Stock, if
any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing
the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such
stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have
separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock
Distributed Property as provided in Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption
of such rights.
81
Section 14.12. Exchange
in Lieu of Conversion.
(a) When
a Holder surrenders any Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the
Conversion Agent to deliver, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, such Notes to one or more financial
institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion.
In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the Designated Financial Institution(s) must agree to timely pay and/or
deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, the cash, shares of Common Stock or combination thereof that would otherwise
be due upon conversion pursuant to Section 14.02 or such other amount agreed to by the Holder and the Designated Financial Institution(s) (the
“Conversion Consideration”). If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, by the close of business
on the Trading Day following the relevant Conversion Date, notify in writing the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee)
and the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion that the Company has made the Exchange Election, and the Company shall promptly notify
the Designated Financial Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration and the type of Conversion
Consideration to be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be.
(b) Any
Notes delivered to the Designated Financial Institution(s) shall remain outstanding, subject to the applicable procedures of the
Depositary. If the Designated Financial Institution(s) agree(s) to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely pay and/or
deliver, as the case may be, the related Conversion Consideration, or if such Designated Financial Institution(s) does not accept
the Notes for exchange, the Company shall pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the relevant Conversion Consideration, as, and at the
time, required pursuant to this Indenture as if the Company had not made the Exchange Election.
(c) The
Company’s designation of any Designated Financial Institution(s) to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not
require such Designated Financial Institution(s) to accept any Notes.
Article 15
REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS
Section 15.01. Repurchase
at Option of Holders on May 15, 2032.
(a) On
May 15, 2032 (the “Specified Repurchase Date”), each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option,
to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes (the “Specified Repurchase”), or any
portion of the principal amount thereof properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to Section 15.03 that is equal to
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to, but excluding, the Specified Repurchase Date (the “Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price”).
(b) Repurchases
of Notes under this Section 15.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
82
(i) delivery
to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice”) in the
form set forth in Attachment 3 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance
with the Depositary’s applicable procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case,
on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Specified Repurchase Date; and
(ii) delivery
of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase
Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer
of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in each case, such delivery
or transfer being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price therefor.
The Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice
in respect of any Physical Notes to be repurchased shall state:
(i) the
certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
(ii) the
portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(iii) that
the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.
If the Notes are Global Notes, to exercise the
Specified Repurchase right, Holders must surrender their Notes in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.01 shall
have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Specified Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent
in accordance with Section 15.03.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(c) On
or before the 20th Business Day prior to the Specified Repurchase Date, the Company shall provide to all Holders and the Trustee, and
the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice of the Specified Repurchase Date and of the
resulting repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall
be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of
the Depositary. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish such information on the Company’s website or
through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time. Each Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice shall specify:
(i) the
last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Section 15.01;
83
(ii) the
Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price;
(iii) the
Specified Repurchase Date;
(iv) the
name and address of the Paying Agent; and
(v) the
procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing
notice 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 15.01.
At the Company’s written request given at
least two (2) Business Days before such notice is to be sent (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the
Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases,
the text of such Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be
repurchased by the Company on the Specified Repurchase 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 Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective
Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from
a Default by the Company in the payment of the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions
for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled,
and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall
be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Section 15.02. Repurchase
at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) Subject
to Section 15.02(f), if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option,
to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof properly
surrendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to Section 15.03 that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the
date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days or
more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to
the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued
and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of the close of business as of such Regular Record Date on, or at the Company’s election,
before, such Interest Payment Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes
to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 15.
84
(b) Repurchases
of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(i) delivery
to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form
set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance
with the Depositary’s applicable procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case,
on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and
(ii) delivery
of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
(together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the
Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, in each case, such delivery or transfer
being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect
of any Physical Notes to be repurchased shall state:
(i) the
certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
(ii) the
portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(iii) that
the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.
If the Notes are Global Notes, to exercise the
Fundamental Change repurchase right, Holders must surrender their Notes in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have
the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying
Agent in accordance with Section 15.03.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
85
(c) On
or before the 20th Business Day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders
and the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental
Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the resulting repurchase right
at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or,
in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Simultaneously
with providing such notice, the Company shall publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium
as the Company may use at that time. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the
events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the
effective date of the Fundamental Change;
(iii) the
last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Section 15.02;
(iv) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(v) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(vi) the
name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(vii) if
applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate as a result of the Fundamental Change (or related Make-Whole
Fundamental Change);
(viii) that
the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder
withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and
(ix) the
procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.
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 15.02.
At the Company’s written request given at
least two (2) Business Days before such notice is to be sent (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the
Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that,
in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
86
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article 15, the Company shall not be required to repurchase, or to make an offer to repurchase,
the Notes upon a Fundamental Change if a third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance
with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Article 15 and such third party purchases all Notes properly
surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements
for an offer made by the Company as set forth above.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change 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 Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such
Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration
of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the applicable procedures
of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 15.02, the Company shall not be required to send a Fundamental Change Company Notice, or
offer to repurchase or repurchase any Notes, as set forth in this Article 15, in connection with a Fundamental Change occurring pursuant
to clause (b)(A) or (B) (or pursuant to clause (a) that also constitutes a Fundamental Change occurring pursuant to clause
(b)(A) or (B)) of the definition thereof, if: (i) such Fundamental Change constitutes a Share Exchange Event whose Reference
Property consists entirely of cash in U.S. dollars; (ii) immediately after such Fundamental Change, the Notes become convertible
(pursuant to Section 14.07 and, if applicable, Section 14.03) into consideration that consists solely of U.S. dollars in an
amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes that equals or exceeds the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes (calculated assuming that the same includes the maximum amount of accrued but unpaid interest payable as part of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price for such Fundamental Change); and (iii) the Company timely sends the notice relating to the Make-Whole Fundamental
Change associated with such Fundamental Change required pursuant to Section 14.03. Any Fundamental Change with respect to which,
in accordance with the provisions described in this Section 15.02(f), the Company is not required to offer to repurchase any Notes
is referred to as herein as an “Exempted Fundamental Change.”
Section 15.03. Withdrawal
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice. (a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
or Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) in respect of Physical Notes by means of a written
notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 15.03 at any time
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Specified Repurchase

Date Repurchase Notice, as applicable, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;
If the Notes are Global Notes, Holders may withdraw their Notes subject
to repurchase at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date
or the Specified Repurchase Date, as applicable, in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary.
Section 15.04. Deposit
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price. (a) The Company will 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 as provided in Section 4.04) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date
or Specified Repurchase Date, as applicable, an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, as applicable. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes
by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not validly withdrawn
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Specified Repurchase
Date, as applicable) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied
the conditions in Section 15.02) or the Specified Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.01)
and (ii) 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 Section 15.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes
entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. 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
or the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, as applicable.
(b) If
by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Specified Repurchase Date, as applicable, the Trustee
(or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Specified Repurchase
Date Repurchase Price (and, to the extent not included in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase
Price, accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable) of the Notes to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Specified
Repurchase Date, as applicable, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly
withdrawn, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry
transfer of the Notes has been made or whether or not the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all
other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Specified
Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, as applicable, and, to the extent not included in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Specified

surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 15.01 or Section 15.02, as applicable, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal
amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note surrendered.
Section 15.05. Covenant

with the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;
(b) file
a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this
Article 15 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 15.
To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations enacted or adopted after the date of this Indenture conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to the
Company’s obligations to repurchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change or on the Specified Repurchase Date, the Company shall comply
with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of
this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
Article 16
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
Section 16.01. Optional
Redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to May 15, 2029.
On or after May 15, 2029, and prior to the 41st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Company
may redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the Partial Redemption Limitation),
at the Redemption Price, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect
for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day
of such period) ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Notice of Redemption
in accordance with Section 16.02.
89
Section 16.02. Notice
of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes.
(a) In
case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 16.01,
it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee
not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date such Notice of Redemption is to be sent (or such shorter period of time as
may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered
a written notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Notice of Redemption”) not less than 45 nor more than 50 Scheduled
Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder so to be redeemed as a whole or in part; provided, however, that,
if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other
than the Trustee) and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee); provided further that if, in accordance with the provisions
described in Section 14.02(a)(iii), the Company elects through delivery of a Settlement Notice to settle all conversions of Notes
with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the date of issuance of a Notice of Redemption with respect to the Notes and prior to the
related Redemption Date, by Physical Settlement, then the Company may instead elect to choose a Redemption Date that is a Business Day
not less than 10 nor more than 50 Scheduled Trading Days after the date the Company sends such Notice of Redemption to each Holder so
to be redeemed as a whole or in part. The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.
(b) The
Notice of Redemption, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Notice of Redemption or any defect in the Notice of Redemption to the
Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption
of any other Note.
(c) Each
Notice of Redemption shall specify:
(i) the
Redemption Date;
(ii) the
Redemption Price;
(iii) 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, shall cease to accrue on and after payment of the Redemption Price in full on the Redemption Date;
(iv) the
place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
(v) that
Holders of Called Notes may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time during the related Redemption Period;
(vi) the
procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Called Notes and the Settlement Method and Specified Dollar Amount, if applicable;
(vii) the
Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 14.03;
90
(viii) the
CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and
(ix) in
case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption
Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.
A Notice of Redemption shall be irrevocable.
(d) If
the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes, at least $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes must be
outstanding and not subject to Optional Redemption as of the time the Company delivers, and after giving effect to the delivery of, the
Notice of Redemption (such requirement, the “Partial Redemption Limitation”). If fewer than all of the outstanding
Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are Global Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Depositary in
accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes
to be redeemed are not Global Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000
or multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate. If any
Note selected for partial redemption by the Trustee (or the Depositary, with respect to Global Notes) is submitted for conversion in part
after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected
for redemption, subject, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, to the Depositary’s applicable procedures.
Section 16.03. Payment
of Notes Called for Redemption.
(a) If
any Notice of Redemption has been given in respect of all or any part of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02, the Notes so
subject to Optional Redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Notice of Redemption
and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed at the place or places stated in the
Notice of Redemption, such Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
(b) Prior
to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 7.05 an amount
of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes
to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be
made on the Redemption Date for such Notes. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company,
return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price. Upon surrender of a Note that is to be redeemed in part pursuant to
Section 16.01, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an authorized
denomination equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.
91
Section 16.04. Restrictions
on Redemption. The Company may not redeem any Notes on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (except in the case
of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Notes).

or delivered, as the case may be, in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.
In case by reason of the suspension of regular
mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification
as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Redemption Date or the Maturity Date is not a Business Day or is a day on which financial institutions located in the state in which the

in the authentication and delivery of Notes in connection with the original issuance thereof and transfers and exchanges of Notes hereunder,
including under Section 2.04, Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section 10.04 and Section 15.04
as fully to all intents and purposes as though the authenticating agent had been expressly authorized by this Indenture and those Sections
to authenticate and deliver Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the authenticating
agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for
the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee
hereunder pursuant to Section 7.08.
Any corporation or other entity into which any
authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from
any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding
to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating
agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity is otherwise eligible under this Section 17.10, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation
or other entity.
Any authenticating agent may at any time resign
by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating
agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation
or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee
may appoint a successor authenticating agent (which may be the Trustee), shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company
and shall deliver notice of such appointment to all Holders.
The Company agrees to pay to the authenticating
agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services although the Company may terminate the authenticating agent, if it
determines such agent’s fees to be unreasonable.
The provisions of Section 7.02, Section 7.03,
Section 7.04, Section 8.03 and this Section 17.10 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.
If an authenticating agent is appointed pursuant
to this Section 17.10, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
Ocugen, Inc.
6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of
Notes of the Company, designated as its 6.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Notes”), initially limited to
the aggregate principal amount of $130,000,000, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of May 7,
2026 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued
in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in this Note
and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.
In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and
subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture,
the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price on the Specified Repurchase Date, the Redemption Price on any Redemption Date and
the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments
in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the
Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced
as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein.
It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture
and its consequences.
Each Holder shall have the right to receive payment
or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price
on the Specified Repurchase Date and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in
the lawful money or shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, herein prescribed.
A-6
The Notes are issuable in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to
on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or
Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result
of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes
surrendered for such exchange.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to May 15,
2029. The Notes shall be redeemable at the Company’s option on or after May 15, 2029 and prior to the 41st Scheduled
Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Indenture.
No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (other
than an Exempted Fundamental Change) and on the Specified Repurchase Date, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to
require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or
integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the Specified Repurchase Date, as applicable, at a price equal
to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price, as applicable.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder hereof has the right, at its option, on or after the Conversion Limit End Date and prior to the close of business on the second
Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable (provided that Cash Settlement
will apply prior to the Reserved Share Effective Date), at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time
as provided in the Indenture.
