Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information set forth under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
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 8.01 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 8.01 of this Current Report on
Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company issued the Notes, the A&R
Seller Note and the shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) issuable pursuant to the Exchange
Transactions (the “Exchange Shares”) in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute
an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same.
The Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Notes, if any, the A&R Seller Note and the Exchange Shares 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 36,283,184 shares of the Common Stock may be
issued upon conversion of the Notes based on the initial maximum conversion rate of 884.9557 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal
amount of Notes, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

No transfer of any Note will
be registered by the Note Registrar unless the appropriate box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked and such transfer
complies with the transfer restrictions set forth in this Section 2.05(c) and the Restrictive Notes Legend. Any Affiliate Note
will bear the Affiliate Restrictive Notes Legend at any time the Company determines that, to comply with law, such Note should bear the
Affiliate Restrictive Notes Legend. No Affiliate Note may be exchanged for, or transferred with the Holder taking delivery in the form
of, any Note that is not an Affiliate Note, except as described in the immediately succeeding paragraph.
Any Note (including any Physical
Note other than an Affiliate Note) (or security issued in exchange or substitution thereof) (i) 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 (ii) 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 and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. 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) and (ii) 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 and shall not be assigned a restricted
CUSIP number. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Notes or any Common
Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act.
Any Affiliate Note (i) that
has been transferred to a non-Affiliate of the Company 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 (ii) that has been sold to a non-Affiliate
of the Company pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities
Act, shall cease to be an Affiliate Note upon such transfer and, upon surrender of such Affiliate 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 Affiliate Restrictive Notes Legend and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall
be entitled to instruct the Custodian in writing to so surrender any Affiliate Note as to which any of the conditions set forth in clause
(i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph have been satisfied, and, upon such instruction, the Custodian shall so surrender
such Affiliate Note for exchange; and any new Physical 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
after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Affiliate Notes or any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Affiliate
Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act.
-35-
In addition, any Affiliate
Note that has been transferred to a non-Affiliate of the Company, upon surrender of such Affiliate Note for exchange to the Note Registrar
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, may be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount, which shall bear the Restrictive Notes Legend required by this Section 2.05(c) and provided that such Note or Notes would
then be eligible for resale under Rule 144 (without regard to Rule 144(c)(1) but including the satisfaction of a six-months holding period
requirement under Rule 144(d)(1)).
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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Affiliate Note that is a Physical Note and no Physical Note that is held by a Holder that is not a qualified institutional
buyer may be transferred into a Global Note other than a Global Note representing solely Affiliate Notes or such Physical Notes, as appliable,
other than in connection with a transfer to a Person other than the Company or an Affiliate in accordance with the Affiliate Restrictive
Notes Legend or the Restrictive Notes Legend, as applicable.
-36-
At such time as all interests
in a Global Note have been converted, cancelled, repurchased, 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,
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) shall have any responsibility or liability for
any act or omission of the Depositary or for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interest 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.
The Trustee, Note Registrar
and transfer agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer
or exchange imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer or exchange of any interest in any Note
(including any transfers between or among participants or other 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.
(d) Any
stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless
(v) 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, (w) such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to the exemption

notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Common Stock or (z) such Common Stock was issued upon conversion of an Affiliate
Note, in which case it shall bear the Affiliate Restrictive Stock Legend):

-39-
Any shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of an Affiliate Note will be issued in certificated form (or in book-entry form on the books of the Company’s
transfer agent) and will bear the Affiliate Restrictive Stock Legend at any time the Company reasonably determines that, to comply with
law, such shares of Common Stock must bear the Affiliate Restrictive Stock Legend.
Any such Common Stock issued
upon conversion of an Affiliate Note (i) that has been transferred to a non-Affiliate of the Company 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
(ii) that has been sold a non-Affiliate of the Company pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar
provision then in force under the Securities Act, shall, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for
exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates
for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the Affiliate Restrictive Stock Legend required by this Section
2.05(d).
(e) Any
Note (other than an Affiliate Note) or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note (other than an Affiliate 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). The Company shall cause any Note that is repurchased or owned by it to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation
in accordance with Section 2.08.
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, claim, 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 is about to be converted in accordance with Article 15 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, claim, 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.
-40-
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, 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, conversion or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.
Each Holder of a Physical
Note (including any Affiliate Notes), by acceptance of the Notes, hereby appoints U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association to act
initially as the Custodian for such Notes, and to act on behalf of such Holder of Physical Notes. The Custodian’s sole responsibility
in respect of Physical Notes is to hold in safe-keeping the Physical Notes for which it is acting as Custodian (the “Custodied
Notes”) on behalf of the Holders. The Custodian shall transfer any Custodied Notes and surrender any Custodied Notes only in
accordance with the written direction of the Holder or Holders of such Custodied Notes in whose name such Notes are registered; provided
that the Custodian is hereby directed by each Holder of a Custodied Note to surrender such Custodied Note called for redemption or repurchase
and to surrender such Custodied Note to the Issuer on the Maturity Date. The Custodian’s duty with respect to a Custodied Note in
its physical possession shall be limited to the exercise of reasonable care by the Custodian with respect to such Custodied Note in its
physical possession. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding that the Custodian may have physical possession of any Note with respect
to which it is acting in its capacity as Custodian, such Note shall nonetheless be the property solely of the Holder of such Note. The
Custodian hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such with respect to, and hereby agrees to take and hold in accordance with the Notes
of each applicable Holder. At any time after the date of this Indenture, any Holder of a Physical Note shall inform the Custodian in writing
(including by e-mail) that such Holder no longer wishes the Custodian to act in its capacity as such with respect to any Notes of such
Holder, the Custodian will promptly cause such Notes to be delivered to such Holder by first-class mail (or by such other delivery method
as such Holder and the Custodian shall agree). Upon the written request of any future Holder of Physical Notes, the Custodian shall act
in its capacity as such with respect to, and shall take and hold in accordance with this Section 2.06, the Notes of such Holder.
-41-
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 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, the registration of transfer or exchange or conversion (other than any Notes exchanged pursuant to
Section 15.12), 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 canceled promptly by it in accordance with its customary procedures. 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 canceled
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.
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. Any Affiliate Note identified by a “CUSIP” number shall bear a distinct
CUSIP number from all other Notes. Any Physical Note held by a holder who is an accredited investor but not a qualified institutional
buyer identified by a “CUSIP” number shall bear a distinct CUSIP number from all other Notes.
-42-
Section 2.10. Additional
Notes; Repurchases. Subject to Article 4, and subject to the consent (evidenced
as provided in Article 9) of the Holders of at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (determined
in accordance with Article 9 and including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender
or exchange offer for, Notes), the Company may 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. For the avoidance
of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, for purposes of Section 4.06, in the event additional
Notes are issued pursuant to this Section 2.10, references to the “Last Original Issuance Date” of the Notes with
respect to any Notes issued on the Issue Date shall refer only to such Notes issued on the Issue Date and not any additional Notes issued
pursuant to this Section 2.10. 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 18.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company
may, to the extent permitted by law, 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 the Company 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 or no CUSIP
number (to the extent such Notes are Physical Notes) provided further that any such reissued or resold Notes shall not have the
same CUSIP number as any Affiliate Note. 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 9.04) 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.
Article

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 3.01. Satisfaction
and Discharge. 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 Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, upon conversion or otherwise, cash or, solely to satisfy the Company’s Conversion Obligations, cash and/or shares
of Common Stock, in each case sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes and all other sums due and payable under this Indenture
or the Notes by the Company; (iii) the Trustee upon request of the Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate and at the expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, then the Company
has delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent 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 and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06 and Section 8.02 shall survive.

Article

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 Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and pay unpaid interest
on, each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes. Principal, premium,
if any, and interest payable shall be considered paid on the date due if by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on such date the Trustee or the
Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and cash interest then due
and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture.
Any applicable withholding
taxes (including backup withholding) may be withheld from payments of 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 withheld from 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 in the continental 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 in the continental United States of America.
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

permitted to classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify
all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification), in any manner that
complies with this covenant. The accrual of interest, the accrual of dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount,
the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of

principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in
effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit
Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency,
and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency
exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded
so long as the principal amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being
refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.12, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may incur
pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.
The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness
being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,

that date, other than a Permitted Lien.

(b) The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to make any Restricted Investment. For purposes
of this Indenture, if the Company or any Subsidiary sells or otherwise disposes of any voting stock of any Subsidiary or engages in any
other transaction such that, after giving effect to any such sale, disposition or other transaction, such entity is no longer a Subsidiary
of the Company, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment on the date of any such sale, disposition or other transaction
equal to the Fair Market Value of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary sold or disposed of.
(c) For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.13, if any Investment or Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) would be
permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described above and/or is entitled to be incurred under one or more of the categories of
Permitted Investments, the Company may divide and classify such Investment or Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this
covenant and may later divide and reclassify any such Investment or Restricted Payment so long as the Investment or Restricted Payment

Section
4.16. Asset Sales.
(a) The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless (i) the Company (or the Subsidiary,
as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date
of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets, property or Capital Stock issued or sold or otherwise disposed
of, (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received from such Asset Sale is, or will be when paid (in the case of milestones, royalties
and other deferred payment obligations), in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that for purposes of this clause (ii), any
Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or such Subsidiary in respect of such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market
Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (ii), not in excess of $10,000,000
received from such Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the Issue Date on a cumulative basis at the time of the receipt of such
Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the
time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, shall be deemed to be cash, and (iii) immediately before or after
giving effect to such Asset Sale, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture.
(b) Any
Net Proceeds from Asset Sales received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent the aggregate amount of all such
Net Proceeds from all Asset Sales exceeds $10,000,000, constitute “Excess Proceeds.” At any time when the aggregate
amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $1,000,000, within five days thereafter, the Company will make an offer (each, an “Asset Sale
Offer”) to all Holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes capable of purchase utilizing 75% of the amount
of Excess Proceeds, calculated after deducting from such Excess Proceeds all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes and the amount of
all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection with such purchase (the “Offer Amount”). The offer
price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such
principal amount to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale
Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes tendered in or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the Offer Amount, the
Company will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to maintain the authorized minimum denomination
of the Notes), based on the amounts tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at
zero.
(c) The
Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder
to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.16, the Company
will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section
4.16 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.17. Limitation
on Transfers of Material Intellectual Property. The Company shall not, and shall not
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction (including, but not limited to, the
transfer, purchase, sale, lease, license or exchange of any property or asset, the making of any Restricted Payment or Investment or
the disposition of any assets) with any Person in the form of transferring title to, licensing on an exclusive basis or otherwise
Disposing of any Intellectual Property that, at the time of (or immediately after) such transaction, constitutes Material
Intellectual Property, unless the transferee is the Company or a Guarantor. The Company shall cause all Material Intellectual
Property to be owned at all times by one or more of its direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiaries.
Section
4.18. Control Agreements.

the Company nor any Guarantor shall maintain any Deposit Account except (i) for which the Collateral Agent has received a Control Agreement
(subject to the time period specified in Section 4.18(b)) or (ii) Excluded Accounts.
(b) Within
90 days after the Issue Date, the Company shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) a Control Agreement for each Deposit Account listed
on Schedule D.

or controlled Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, enter into any Liability Management Transaction unless each Holder is offered a
bona fide right to participate in such Liability Management Transaction, on a pro rata basis, on not less than twenty (20) Business Days’
notice prior to the deadline established by Company, its Subsidiaries or its controlled Affiliates for the Holders to elect to participate
in such Liability Management Transaction. For the purpose of this Section 4.19, in the case of Global Notes, “Holder”
shall mean a person that holds a beneficial interest in the Notes and not the Depository for such Global Notes or its nominee.

with respect to a material portion of the Collateral, or shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company not to be a valid and perfected

Section 6.02. Acceleration;
Rescission and Annulment. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section

the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section
9.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders) may 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

to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) 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 immediately due and payable.
-59-
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, 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 (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of at least 60% 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. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any continuing Default or
Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable)
of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes or (ii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion
of the Notes.
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)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 during which 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). 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(c) 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
of Notes 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(d) 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 any Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure
to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company
must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election in writing 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. No Additional Interest shall accrue, and no right to declare the principal or other amounts due and payable in respect of the
Notes pursuant to Section 6.02 shall exist, after such violation has been cured, and Holders shall only be entitled to any Additional
Interest that has accrued prior to such violation having been cured as a remedy in respect of such violation.
In no event shall Additional
Interest payable at the Company’s election for failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) as
set forth in this Section 6.03, together with any Additional Interest that may accrue as a result of the Company’s failure
to file any report or other materials 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 current reports on Form 8-K),
pursuant to Section 4.06(d), accrue at a rate in excess of 1.00% per annum pursuant to this Indenture, regardless of the number
of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.
-60-
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 and Collateral Agent under Section
7.06 and Section 8.02(e). 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, or the Collateral Agent 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.
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 (in all of its capacities), the Collateral Agent, their
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 and Collateral Agent under Section 7.06
and Section 8.02(e); 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 each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent 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 and Collateral Agent under Section 7.06 and Section 8.02(e), 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.
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, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, be
for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
-61-
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) and to the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06 and Section 8.02(e)
for amounts due to it under this Indenture and the Notes Documents;
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 has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the
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 Fundamental Change 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 Fundamental Change 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 Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and
any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and
Fourth, to the payment
of the remainder, if any, to the Company, or to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.
-62-
Section 6.06. Proceedings
by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if
applicable, the Fundamental Change 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 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 to the Trustee and Collateral Agent such security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to each of them against
any loss, claim, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;
(d) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer, or provision, 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 at least 60% 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.
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 Fundamental Change 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.
-63-
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 Holders. The Holders of at least 60% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04 shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent 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 and Collateral
Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee and
Collateral Agent, as applicable, may refuse to follow any direction that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights
of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee or Collateral Agent in personal liability (it being understood that the
Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is unduly prejudicial to any other
Holder). The Holders of at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance
with Section 9.04 may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and
its consequences 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 Fundamental Change 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 11 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.
-64-
Section 6.10. Notice of
Defaults. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have received written notice from the Company or a Holder describing such Default or Event
of Default, and stating that such notice is a notice of Default (a “Notice of Default”). The Trustee shall, within
90 days after the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice of, deliver
to all Holders notice of all Defaults known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, 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 Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment
or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.
Section 6.11. Undertaking
to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee,
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 by such party litigant; provided that the
provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to
any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at
the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 9.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement
of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit
for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note, or receive the consideration due upon conversion, in accordance with the
provisions of Article 15.

Shares of Common Stock to Be Held in Trust. All monies and shares of Common Stock received

for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

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)

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.
-70-
(b) In
case at any time any of the following shall occur:

Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request

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 at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section
9.04, 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.
-71-
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 any Officer that the Company has indicated to the Trustee should
receive such application actually receives such application, 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.

foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien created under the Collateral Documents; or
(iii) to
take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Liens, Collateral Documents or Collateral.
(d) The
Collateral Agent will be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the enforcement of the Liens or Collateral
Documents.
(e) In
acting as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Notes Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon and
enforce each and all of the rights, privileges, immunities, indemnities and benefits of the Trustee under Article 7 of this Indenture.
(f) At
all times when the entity serving as Trustee is not the Collateral Agent, the Company will deliver to the Trustee copies of all Collateral
Documents delivered to the Collateral Agent and copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents.
(g) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Notes Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall
be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly
set forth herein and in the Notes Documents, to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed
to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, or any other party, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, or otherwise exist
against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this
Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising
under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create
or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(h) The
Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”
-74-
(i) No
provision of this Indenture or any Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder
or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders or the Trustee unless it shall have received indemnity or security
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required
to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under
any mortgage or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability
as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent
shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause (i) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity,
security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.
(j) The
parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible
for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties,
fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any
remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs,
for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this
Indenture, the Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby
agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold
or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such
actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.
In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind
in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion
may cause it to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause it to incur liability under CERCLA
or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent and reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign
or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee
shall be liable to any person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation
by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge,
release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment.

by the Company in connection with such release or the entry into such agreements, and in the case of any release any appropriate instruments
of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver
or acknowledge (at the Company’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release and discharge of any Collateral permitted
to be released pursuant to this Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken
in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Collateral
Document to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security
interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until such party receives
such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.
(c) At
any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration
or otherwise) and the Trustee has delivered notice of acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of the Liens on the Collateral

protect its interest and the interests of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral (including suits or proceedings to restrain the
enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or

at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes) or at the direction from the Holders of at least 60% in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes. Any notice, agreement, certificate or other document delivered to the Collateral Agent by the Company or any other Person

resignation. The Holders of at least 60% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Collateral Agent by so notifying
the removed Collateral Agent in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such removal and may appoint a successor
Collateral Agent with the Company’s written consent. If:
(i) the
Collateral Agent shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Collateral Agent
or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Collateral Agent or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or (ii) the Collateral Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting

removed and one copy to the successor collateral agent, 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 itself and all others
similarly situated, petition, at the Company’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Collateral Agent
and the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
remove the Collateral Agent and appoint a successor Collateral Agent.

the Collateral Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another entity, the successor entity without any further act shall be the successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.11. Acceptance
by Collateral Agent. Any successor Collateral Agent appointed as provided in Section
8.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Collateral Agent an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Collateral Agent shall become effective and such
successor Collateral Agent, 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 Collateral Agent herein; but, nevertheless, on
the written request of the Company or of the successor Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent ceasing to act shall, at the expense
of the Company and subject to payment of any amounts then due pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver
an instrument transferring to such successor Collateral Agent all the rights and powers of the Collateral Agent so ceasing to act.
Upon request of any such Collateral Agent, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Collateral Agent all such rights and powers. Any Collateral Agent 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
Collateral Agent 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.
Upon acceptance of appointment
by a successor Collateral Agent as provided in Section 8.11, each of the Company and the successor Collateral Agent, at the written
direction and at the expense of the Company, shall give or cause to be given notice of the succession of such Collateral Agent hereunder
to the Holders in accordance with Section 18.03.

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS
Section 9.01. 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 10, 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 9.02. Proof
of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section
7.02 and Section 10.05, 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 10.06.
Section 9.03. 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 Fundamental Change 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, 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 following an Event of Default.
-80-
Section 9.04. 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 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Affiliate Notes);
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 9.04 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 9.05. Revocation
of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to
the Trustee, as provided in Section 9.01, 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 9.02, 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.

Parties as additional security for the payment and performance of all or any portion of the Obligations, in any property or assets, including
any which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a Lien is required to be granted to or for the benefit of
the Trustee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any of the Collateral Documents or otherwise;

Upon the written request of
the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s or
the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the other Notes Documents or otherwise.
Any supplemental indenture
authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 may be executed by the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent without the consent
of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.02.
Section 11.02. Supplemental
Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article
9) of the Holders of at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (determined in accordance with
Article 9 and including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer
for, Notes), the Company, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, at the
Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto or an amendment
or supplement to the Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, any supplemental indenture or any Collateral Document or of modifying in any manner the

-85-
(g) change
the ranking of the Notes;
(h) make
any change in the provisions of this Indenture or the other Notes Documents, in each case dealing with the application of proceeds of
Collateral, that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes (including rights with respect to any payments) in any material respect;
(i) expressly
subordinate the Notes in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or subordinate the Lien on the Collateral

(j) release

Holders different than other Holders; or
(m) make
any change to Section 4.19 or any language in other definitions or provisions to the extent used therein.
In addition, notwithstanding
the foregoing, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Notes Document that has the effect of releasing
all or substantially all of the Collateral shall require the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding under this Indenture (including any consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes).
If any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Notes Document to which it is a party affects the rights or
obligations of the Collateral Agent, then in such case the consent of the Collateral Agent shall also be required.
Upon the written request of
the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee and Collateral Agent of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid and subject
to Section 11.05, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture
unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture, the other Notes Documents or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.
Holders do not need under
this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture. It shall be sufficient if such Holders
approve the substance thereof. After any 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.
-86-
Section 11.03. Effect
of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant
to the provisions of this Article 11, 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 Collateral Agent, 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 11.04. Notation
on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11 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 Board of Directors, 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
18.10) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then outstanding.
Section 11.05. Evidence
of Compliance of Amendments and Supplements and Enforceability of the Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished Trustee and Collateral
Agent. In addition to the documents required by Section 18.05, the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent 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 11 and is permitted or authorized by this
Indenture and the Notes Documents and an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and
qualifications as to enforceability by such counsel. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether any amendment
or supplemental indenture will or may have an adverse effect on any Holder.

GUARANTEES
Section 13.01. Guarantee.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 13, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as
primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes, the Trustee
and the Collateral Agent the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes, fees, expenses, indemnities and all other
Obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents (including without limitation interest
(including Additional Interest, if any) accruing after the filing of any petition or application in bankruptcy, or the commencement
of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for
post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the
“Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will rank equally in right of
payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is subordinate to the Guaranteed
Obligations, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to such
other Indebtedness.
To evidence its Note Guarantee
set forth in this Section 13.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor
by an Officer of such Guarantor.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 13.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the
endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.
If an Officer whose signature
is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
Each Guarantor further agrees
(to the extent permitted by law) that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further
assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article 13 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed
Obligation.
Each Guarantor waives presentation
to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment.
Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each Guarantor further agrees
that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to
require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Except as set forth in Section
13.02, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for
any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or
compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of the
Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any
other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any
rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d)
the release of any security held by the Collateral Agent or any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the failure of the Trustee,
the Collateral Agent or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the
Company; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (h) any other act
or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor
or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than, in each case, payment in full of
the Obligations (other than contingent obligations and expense reimbursement not yet due and payable)).
-90-
Each Guarantor agrees that
its Note Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations or such Guarantor
is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with Section 13.02 or Article 3. Each Guarantor further agrees that its
Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof,
of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure
of the Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, or
otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid,
in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed
Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Guaranteed Obligations
then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition or application
in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether
or not a claim for post filing or post petition interest is allowed in such proceeding).
Each Guarantor further agrees
that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction
or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any
such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee.
Each Guarantor also agrees
to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Collateral
Agent, Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 13.01.
-91-
Each Guarantor assumes all
responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Company’s and each other Guarantor’s financial condition and assets,
and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the
risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such
Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
Section
13.02. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.
(a) Any
term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the
maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to
any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under
its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, not render the obligations of such Guarantor under
its Note Guarantee subject to avoidance under applicable law as a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or unjust preference, including
under federal, foreign, or state law, or otherwise void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
(b) Any
Note Guarantee of a Guarantor (x) in the case of clause (i) below, at the election of the Company, may be released and discharged
and such Guarantor and its obligations under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents shall be released and discharged and (y) in
the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) below, shall be automatically (and without any further action on the part
of the Company or any Secured Party) be released and discharged and such Guarantor and its obligations under this Indenture and the other
Notes Documents shall be released and discharged:
(i) in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (including by way of merger
or consolidation or amalgamation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the
Company, so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture at the time of such
sale or other disposition, (2) such sale or other disposition shall be completed in a transaction permitted (or not prohibited) by the
terms of this Indenture with a legitimate business purpose and not for the purpose of releasing such Notes Guarantee or for the incurrence
of Indebtedness or liability management and (3) the consideration received by the Company and its Subsidiaries in such sale or other disposition
shall be at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets of such Guarantor sold or disposed of; provided that the Notes Guarantee
of such Guarantor will continue to be in full force and effect as a result of any sale or other disposition not in compliance with this
Section 13.02(b)(i);
(ii) in
connection with any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor after which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary
of the Company, so long as (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture at the time of
such sale or other disposition, (2) such sale or other disposition shall be completed in a transaction permitted (or not prohibited) by
the terms of this Indenture with a legitimate business purpose and not for the purpose of releasing such Notes Guarantee or for the incurrence
of Indebtedness or liability management and (3) the consideration received by the Company and its Subsidiaries in such sale or other disposition
shall be at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor sold or disposed of; provided that the

with this Section 13.02(b)(ii);
-92-
(iii) in
connection with the dissolution of such Guarantor under applicable law; provided that the Person who receives the assets of such
dissolving Guarantor shall be or become a Note Party if such Person is a Subsidiary of the Company; or
(iv) upon
discharge of the Notes as provided in Article 3.
(c) With
respect to any release of any Note Guarantee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that
all conditions precedent under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it
is proper for the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Company in connection with such
release, and any instruments of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Company’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release and
discharge of any Note Guarantee permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall
be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding
any term hereof or in any other Notes Document to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation
to execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.
Section 13.03. Right of
Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guarantor shall
have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Note Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be
entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Company or any other Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share
of such payment. The provisions of this Section 13.03 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor
to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and
the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
Section 13.04. No
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no
Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder against the
Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent
or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or
reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts
owing to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders by the Company on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full.
If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee, the Collateral
Agent and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned
over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to
be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations.
-93-
Section 13.05. Subordination.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Section 13.04, and all
other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise, shall be fully subordinated to the payment
in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Company or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Section
13.04 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and
liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount
of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date, and the Company has not previously irrevocably elected a Settlement Method as described
under Section 15.02(a)(iv), 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. If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, unless
the Company has previously irrevocably elected a Settlement Method as described under Section 15.02(a)(iv), the Company shall no
longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement for such conversion and the Company shall be deemed to have elected
Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall
be equal to $1,000. 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 in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified
Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes shall be deemed to be $1,000.(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 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 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 20 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, 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 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.
-95-
(iii) 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.
(iv) The
Company may, unless the Company has previously elected (or is deemed to have elected) a Settlement Method, at any time prior to any Conversion
Date for any Note, and without the consent of the Holders, irrevocably elect a Settlement Method to apply in respect of such Notes converted
following the date of the Company’s election. The Company will inform Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than
the Trustee), of such election and, if Combination Settlement applies, the Specified Dollar Amount.
(b) Subject
to Section 15.02(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, if required, pay funds
equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 15.02(h)
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, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to any unpaid interest and is payable on the next Interest Payment Date to
which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 15.02(h). The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall
notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 15 promptly following 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 to the
Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section
16.03.
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.
-96-
(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 15.03 and
Section 15.07(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 (or, in respect of any Conversion Date occurring after April
15, 2029, on the Maturity Date), if the Company elects Physical Settlement, 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 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 certificated form or book-entry format
through the Depositary (provided that shares of Common Stock required to bear the Affiliate Restrictive Stock Legend shall be issued
in certificated form or in book-entry form on the books of the Company’s transfer agent), 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.
(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
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 15.04, 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 15.
(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.
-97-
(h) Upon
conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The
Company’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount
of the Note and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, any unpaid interest to, but
not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon
a conversion of Notes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, any accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid
first out of the cash paid upon such conversion (excluding cash payments for fractional shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes
are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Interest Payment
Date, Holders of such Notes as of 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 notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period
from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must
be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment shall
be required (1) for conversions following the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2)
if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business
Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts
exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular
Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, in each case described above, shall receive
the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes
have been converted following such Regular Record 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 Obligations 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 (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 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.
-98-
Section 15.03. Increased
Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(a) If
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, 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” a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change if 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”).
(b) Upon
surrender of Notes for conversion during a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related
Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 15.02 based
on the Conversion Rate as increased to reflect the Additional Shares pursuant to the table below; 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 fifth 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.
(c) The
number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased for conversions during the Make-Whole Fundamental
Change 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 (the “Effective Date”), and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock
in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “Stock Price”). 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. In the case of any other Make-Whole Fundamental Change, 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 Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Company shall make appropriate adjustments
to the Stock Price, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, 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 (as such term is used
in Section 15.04) or expiration date of the event occurs during such five consecutive Trading Day period.
-99-
(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 15.04.
(e) The
number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section
15.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:
$1.13
$1.30

(f) 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 $50.00 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 $1.13 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 884.9557 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment
in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.04.
(g) Nothing
in this Section 15.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate that would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 15.04
in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Section 15.04. 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 15.04, without
having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by
the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
-100-
(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;
CR1
= 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
OS1
= 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 15.04(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 15.04(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.
(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 60 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;
-101-
CR1
= 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 15.04(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
15.04(b), 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 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.
-102-
(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
dividends, distributions or issuances (including share splits) as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 15.04(a)
or Section 15.04(b), dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 15.04(d)
shall apply, except as otherwise described in Section 15.11, rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan of the Company,
(iv) distributions of Reference Property in a Share Exchange Event, and (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this
Section 15.04(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;
CR1=
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 15.04(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.
-103-
With respect to an adjustment
pursuant to this Section 15.04(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:
where,
CR0
= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
CR1
= 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, references 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, references 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. 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.
-104-
For purposes of this Section
15.04(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 15.11, 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
15.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 15.04(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 15.04(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 15.04(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
15.04(a), Section 15.04(b) and this Section 15.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 15.04(c)
is applicable also includes one or both of:
(A) a
dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 15.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”);
or
(B)
a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 15.04(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
15.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section
15.04(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 15.04(a)
and Section 15.04(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 15.04(a)
or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 15.04(b).
-105-
(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;
CR1
= 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 15.04(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 in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for
such cash dividend or distribution.
-106-
(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;
CR1= 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);
OS1= 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
SP1= 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 15.04(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.
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
15.04(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.
-107-
(f) Notwithstanding
this Section 15.04 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
15.02(i) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions
in this Section 15.04, 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 15.04,
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 15, 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 15.04;
(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;
(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 15.04;
-108-
(vi) upon
the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open-market share purchase program or other buy-back transaction, including,
any 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 15.04;
(vii) solely
for a change in the par value (or lack of par value) of the Common Stock; or
(viii) for
accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
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.
(j) If
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Section 15.04 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 and (iii) on the
effective date of any Fundamental Change and/or Make-Whole Fundamental Change, in each case, unless the adjustment has already been made.
(k) 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.
(l) For
purposes of this Section 15.04, 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 15.05. 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 for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Company
shall, in good faith, make appropriate adjustments without duplication in respect of any adjustment made pursuant to Section
15.04(a), Section 15.04(b), Section 15.04(c), Section 15.04(d) or Section 15.04(e) 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 such Last Reported Sale Prices, Daily VWAPs, Daily Conversion Values or Daily Settlement Amounts are to be
calculated.
-109-
Section 15.06. Shares
to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall at all times reserve, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares
or shares held in treasury, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of outstanding Notes and (b)
the Conversion Rate (assuming the Conversion Rate has been increased by the maximum number of Additional Shares pursuant
to Section 15.03), to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for
conversion.
Section
15.07. 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,
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(h) 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 the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance
with Section 15.02 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.
-110-
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. 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 15.03, 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 fifth Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. 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 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
15 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 16.
(b) When
the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 15.07, 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 15.07. None of the
foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section
15.01 and Section 15.02 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.
-111-
(d) The
above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.
Section 15.08. 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.
Section 15.09. Responsibility
of Trustee. The Trustee and any 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 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 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. 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 15.07 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 15.07 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.
Section 15.10. Notice
to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any:
(a) action
by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.04 or
Section 15.11;
-112-
(b) Share
Exchange Event; or
(c) voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
then, in each case (unless notice of such event
is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion
Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 10 days prior
to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action
by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record
are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Share Exchange
Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders
of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Share
Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality
or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Section 15.11. 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 15.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of
the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section
15.12. Exchange in Lieu of Conversion.
(a) When
a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the
Conversion Agent to deliver, on or prior to the second Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, such Notes to one
or more financial institutions designated by the Company for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered
for conversion, the designated institution(s) must agree to timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes,
the cash, shares of the Common Stock or any combination thereof that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to Section 15.02
(the “Conversion Consideration”) or such other amount agreed to by the Holder and the designated financial institution(s).
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 the Holder surrendering its Notes for conversion, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing
that it has made the Exchange Election and it will 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.
-113-
(b) Any
Notes delivered to the designated institution(s) shall remain outstanding, subject to applicable Depositary procedures. If the designated
institution(s) agree(s) to accept any Notes for exchange but do(es) not timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the related Conversion
Consideration, or if such designated financial institution(s) do(es) not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company shall pay and/or deliver,
as the case may be, the relevant Conversion Consideration as if it had not made an Exchange Election.
(c) The
Company’s designation of any financial institution(s) to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require such financial
institution(s) to accept any Notes.
Section 15.13. [RESERVED].
Section 15.14. Beneficial
Ownership Limitations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, no Holder will be entitled to receive
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes and no conversion of Notes shall take place to the extent (but only to the extent)
that such receipt (or conversion) would cause such Holder and its Affiliates (in each case together with any other persons whose
beneficial ownership would be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, including any “group” of
which Holder, its Affiliates or such person is a member) to beneficially own shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership
Limitations. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates (in each case together with any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act, including any “group” of which Holder, its Affiliates or such person is a member) shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Notes with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted
principal amount of Notes beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (in each case together with any other persons whose
beneficial ownership would be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, including any “group” of
which Holder, its Affiliates or such person is a member) and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion
of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (in each case together
with any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, including
any “group” of which Holder, its Affiliates or such person is a member). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
for purposes of this provision, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes
shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the violation of the
Beneficial Ownership Limitations in this Section 15.14. For the purpose of this Section 15.14, in the case of Global
Notes, “Holder” shall mean a person that holds a beneficial interest in the Notes and not the Depository for such Global
Notes or its nominee.
-114-
(b) To
the extent that the limitation contained in this provision applies, the determination of whether any Notes are convertible (in each case
in relation to other securities beneficially owned by the Holder) and of which principal amount of such Notes are convertible shall be
in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination
of whether any Notes may be converted (in each case in relation to other securities beneficially owned by the Holder) and which principal
amount such Notes are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations. To ensure compliance with this restriction,
the Holder shall be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such notice has not violated
the restrictions set forth in this Section 15.14 and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of
such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(c) For
purposes of this Section 15.14, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual
report filed with the Commissions, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written
notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent to such Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by the Holder since the date as of which
such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
(d) The
“General Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Notes held by the Holder. The Holder, by
prior written notice to the Company, may elect a beneficial ownership limit as to such Holder (but not as to any other Holder) (such limit,
a “Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation” and together with the General Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the “Beneficial
Ownership Limitations”) that is less than or equal to the General Beneficial Ownership Limitation then applicable to the Holders.
Any Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation will be effective as of (i) the date set forth in the applicable written notice to the Company
with respect to any decrease in the Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation (or decrease from the General Beneficial Ownership Limitation
if such Holder has not previously provided notice of a Holder Beneficial Ownership Limitation), and (ii) the 61st day after such notice
is delivered to the Company in all other cases.
(e) Any
Notes surrendered for conversion for which shares of Common Stock are not delivered due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations shall
not be extinguished and, such Holder may either:
(i) request
return of the Notes surrendered by such Holder for conversion, after which the Company shall deliver such Notes to such Holder within
two trading days after receipt of such request; or
-115-
(ii) certify
to the Company that the person (or persons) receiving shares of Common Stock upon conversion is not, and would not, as a result of such
conversion, become the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time in excess of the applicable Beneficial Ownership
Limitations in this Section 15.14, after which the Company shall deliver any such shares of Common Stock withheld on account of

at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity 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, or any portion of the principal amount thereof properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to Section
16.03 that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase

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

being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase

the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase or if the Notes are Global Notes, the

(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 applicable Depositary procedures.
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 16.02
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 16.03.
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.
(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 and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent 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 set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice 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;
-117-
(iii) the
last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 16;

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 16.02.
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.
(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 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.
-118-
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 16.02, 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 16, in connection with 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 15.07 and, if applicable, Section 15.03) 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 provides written notice to Holders of the effective date of
any such transaction as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction or, if practicable
to do so using commercially reasonable efforts, prior to such effective date. Any Fundamental Change with respect to which, in accordance
with the provisions described in this Section 16.02(f), the Company does not offer to repurchase any Notes is referred to
as herein as an “Exempted Fundamental Change.”
(g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article 16, 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 above 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.

Change Repurchase Date, an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment
for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied
the conditions in Section 16.02 and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other

of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(b) If
by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company)
holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn, such Notes
will cease to be outstanding, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made
or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other
than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest).
(c) Upon
surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 16.02, 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.

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

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

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.

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.

agent.

of the Notes pursuant to Section 15.04 (other than clause (e) thereof), Section 15.07 or Section 15.11 as being
made pursuant to a “bona fide, adjustment formula” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-7 (except to
the extent otherwise required pursuant to the last sentence of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-7(b)(1)), and (iii) to treat any

agree that they shall not take any position for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes inconsistent with
the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), in each case, except to the extent otherwise required by a change in applicable law or a
“determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
SUNPOWER INC.
10.0% Convertible Senior Secured Note due 2029
This Note is one of a duly
authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 10.0% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”),
limited to the aggregate principal amount of $41,000,000, which initially includes $6,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Affiliate
Notes, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 23, 2026 (the “Indenture”),
among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and
as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent, the Company 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.
To guarantee the due and punctual
payment of the principal and interest (including post-filing or post-petition interest) on the Notes and all other amounts payable by
the Company under the Indenture, the Notes and the other Note Documents when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors will unconditionally guarantee (and
future guarantors, jointly and severally with the Guarantors, will fully and unconditionally Guarantee) such obligations on a senior secured
basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
The Notes and the Guarantor’s
Guarantees of the Notes will be secured by the Collateral on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and the
Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent will hold the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Collateral
Documents. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions
providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral), as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance
with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and to perform
its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.
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 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.
-1-
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 at least 60% 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 at least 60% 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 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.
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 Notes shall not be redeemable
at the Company’s option and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental
Change (other than an Exempted Fundamental Change), 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 at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
Subject to the provisions
of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions
specified in the Indenture, 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, at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as
provided in the Indenture.

[FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS]
This [ ] SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE,
dated as of ___________ __, 20__ is by and among ____________________________ (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary
of SunPower Inc. (the “Company”), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore
executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent the Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of April 23,
2026, providing for the issuance of 10.0% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”);
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides
that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and Collateral Agent a supplemental
indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the
Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the “Guarantee”);
WHEREAS, Section 11.01
of the Indenture provides that the parties may amend or supplement the Indenture in order to add Guarantors pursuant to the Indenture,
without the consent of the Holders; and
WHEREAS, all acts and things
prescribed by the Indenture to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument legally binding on the parties in accordance with its
terms, have been duly done and performed;
NOW, THEREFORE, in compliance
with the provisions of the Indenture and in consideration of the above premises, the parties covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate
benefit of the respective Holders as follows:
(1) Capitalized
Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
(2) Agreement
to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:
(a) Along
with all other Guarantors named in the Indenture (including pursuant to any supplemental indentures), to jointly and severally unconditionally
guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their respective
successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company
hereunder or thereunder, that:
(i) the
principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations
of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the
terms thereof; and
Exh. B-1
(ii) in
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in
full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing
payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and
severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) The
obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture,
the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the
recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other Guarantor, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.
(c) The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby waives: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.
(d) Except
as provided in the Indenture and herein, the Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in
the Notes, the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations applicable to a Guarantor
under the Indenture, including Article 13 of the Indenture (which is deemed incorporated in this Supplemental Indenture and applicable
to this Guarantee). The Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that by executing this Supplemental Indenture, it shall become a Guarantor
under the Indenture and subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Guarantors contained therein.
(e) If
any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors (including
the Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Company
or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(f) The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed
hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
(g) As
between the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity
of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby,
and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee.
Exh. B-2
(h) The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right
does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Guarantee.
(i) Pursuant
to Section 13.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any
applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, or similar limitation, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to
receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor
under Article 13 of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations
of such Guarantor under this Guarantee shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, or similar limitation.
(j) This
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for
liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver
or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable
law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a
“voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been
made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(k) In
case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(l) This
Guarantee shall be a general secured senior obligation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing
and future Senior Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any.
(m) Each
payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction
or diminution of any kind or nature.
(3) Execution
and Delivery. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence
of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.
(4) No

rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

with Terms. Such Grantor will perform and comply in all material respects with all obligations in respect of the Collateral owned

cancellation proceedings, unless such Grantor shall reasonably determine that any such Material Intellectual Property (or application
therefor) is not material to the conduct of its business or operations.

Section 4.8 Commercial
Tort Claims. Each Grantor shall promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the same is acquired by it, notify
the Collateral Agent of any Commercial Tort Claim with a value exceeding $1,000,000 acquired by it and, such Grantor shall enter into
an amendment to this Security Agreement, in such form acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the Required Noteholders (each acting reasonably),
granting to Collateral Agent a first priority security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim, subject to Liens permitted under Section
4.11 of the Indenture.
Section 4.9 Letter-of-Credit

a claim (other than any claim in respect of Taxes to be refunded to such Grantor) in excess of $1,000,000 against the United States government
or any state or local government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, the assignment of which claim is restricted by federal, state
or municipal law.
Section 4.11 No Interference.
Such Grantor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent provided for in this Security

(a) All
insurance policies required under Section 4.10 of the Indenture with respect to the Collateral shall name the Collateral Agent (for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) as an additional insured or as lender’s loss payee, as applicable,
and shall contain loss payable clauses, through endorsements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, which
provide that such policy and lender loss payable clauses may be canceled, amended, or terminated prior to the expiration date of such
policy only upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice (or at least ten (10) days for cancellation for non-payment) given to
the Collateral Agent.
(b) All
premiums on any such insurance shall be paid when due by such Grantor, and copies of the policies delivered to the Collateral Agent. If
such Grantor fails to obtain or maintain any insurance as required by this Section, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to), upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Company, obtain such insurance at the Company’s expense. By purchasing such
insurance, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any Default arising from the Grantor’s failure to maintain such
insurance or pay any premiums therefor. Any amounts incurred by the Collateral Agent shall be additional Secured Obligations reimbursable
by the Grantor on demand.
14

or locations at which any material portion of the Collateral is held or stored, or the location of its records concerning the Collateral
as set forth in this Security Agreement, (c) change the type of entity that it is or (d) change its state of incorporation or organization,
in each case, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice of such change and only after the Grantor has delivered to
the Collateral Agent in form for filing all necessary financing statements or financing statement amendments necessary to maintain the
perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Liens to the extent required by this Security Agreement. The Grantor shall make such filings
contemporaneously with the effective date of the changes referred to in this Section 4.13.
Article
V.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 5.1 Events of
Default. The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under, and as defined in, Section 6.01 of the Indenture shall constitute
an Event of Default hereunder.
Section 5.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise any
or all of the following rights and remedies:
(i) those
rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement or the Indenture; provided that, this Section 5.2(a) shall not be
understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;
(ii) those
rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any
other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’
lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;
(iii) [reserved];
(iv) upon
not less than contemporaneous written notice (except as provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of
any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and
without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase
or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale
or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as
the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and
(v) upon
not less than contemporaneous written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee
the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for
certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto,
to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect
to the Pledged Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof.
15
(b) The
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with
a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of
the Collateral.
(c) The
Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law,
upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any
part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
(d) Until
the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to
hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value
or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of
a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.
(e) [reserved.]
(f) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust
any of its rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment
of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct
or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral
or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.
(g) Each
Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled
to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale
may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances,
agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such
sale being private. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period
of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree
to do so.
16
Section 5.3 Grantor’s
Obligations Upon Event of Default. Upon the written request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:
(a) assemble
and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified
by the Collateral Agent, whether at a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere;
(b) to
the extent permitted by applicable law, permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter,
occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located,
to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part
of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to
pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy;
(c) prepare
and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable
government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as the
Collateral Agent may request in writing, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and furnish to the Collateral
Agent, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Collateral Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in
such detail as the Collateral Agent may specify;
(d) take,
or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable
the Collateral Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral; and
(e) at
its own expense, cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by each Grantor to prepare and deliver to the Collateral
Agent and each Secured Party, at any time, and from time to time, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s written request, the following
reports with respect to the applicable Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances;
and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts.
Section 5.4 Grant of
Intellectual Property License. To the extent permitted under all applicable leases, licenses, agreements or arrangements related thereupon,
for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article V at such time as the Collateral
Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies consistent with the terms of this Security Agreement, each Grantor
hereby (a) grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property
rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to
all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation
or printout thereof, provided that (x) such license shall not be exercisable unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and (y) such license and sublicense with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to
the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity and enforceability of such Trademarks and
(b) irrevocably agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may sell any
of such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any Person, including without limitation Persons who have previously purchased the Grantor’s
Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this
Security Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered
by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Collateral Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark
owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

Verification. The Collateral Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in the
Collateral Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Collateral Agent, or in the name of any Grantor, communicate (by mail,
telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of any such Grantor, parties to contracts with any such Grantor and obligors
in respect of Instruments of any such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Collateral Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, the

Receivables.
Section 6.2 Authorization
for Collateral Agent to Take Certain Action.
(a) Each
Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
(other than clause (ii) below, which may be done irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) in the sole
discretion of the Collateral Agent and appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact (i) to endorse and collect any cash proceeds
of the Collateral, (ii) to file any financing statement with respect to the Collateral and to file any other financing statement or amendment
of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion
deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest
in the Collateral, (iii) in the case of any Material Intellectual Property owned by a Grantor, execute, deliver and have recorded any
document that the Collateral Agent may request to evidence, effect, publicize or record the Collateral Agent’s security interest

(vi) to contact Account Debtors for any reason, (vii) to demand payment or enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Collateral
Agent or such Grantor and to endorse any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables,
(viii) to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Receivables, drafts against any Account Debtor

(xiv) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Grantor to such address as the Collateral Agent may designate and to
receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor, and (xv) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this
Security Agreement; and such Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral
Agent in connection with the foregoing clause (a); provided that, this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its obligations
under this Security Agreement or under the Indenture.
18
(b) All
acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and Secured Parties, under this Section 6.2 are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral
Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any power or authority granted to it unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Section 6.3 Proxy.
EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION
6.2 ABOVE) OF THE GRANTOR WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER
OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY
AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED
COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER
OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL
OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

Article
VII.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 7.1 Waivers.
Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition
of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall
be deemed reasonable if sent to Grantors, addressed as set forth in Exhibit A, at least ten (10) days prior to (i) the date of
any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out
of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party (or its successors, assigns or agents) as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and
covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium,
redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision,
might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power
of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security
Agreement or any Collateral.
Section 7.2 Limitation
on Collateral Agent’s and Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation
to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care
with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall
have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral
Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable
manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses
deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process
into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to
be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection
or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or
other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies
against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection
specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral
is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest
in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that
provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match
buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against
risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or
disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers,
investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions
or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account
of not being indicated in this Section 7.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.2
shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted
or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.2.
Section 7.3 Compromises
and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims
may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible
in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably
may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent
may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable,
accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable,
and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith and without
gross negligence or willful misconduct based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.
20
Section 7.4 Secured
Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, during the continuation of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), upon written notice to the Company, perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor
has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement but has failed to perform or pay within the time periods afforded in this Security
Agreement, and the Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section
7.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation
payable on demand.
Section 7.5 Specific
Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections
4.1(d), 4.1(e), 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13,
5.3, or 7.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right
of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained
in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 7.5 shall
be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
Section 7.6 Dispositions
of Collateral. No Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1(d)
or as otherwise permitted under the Indenture, and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the Collateral Agent
or other conduct of the Collateral Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section
4.1(d)) shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by
the Collateral Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Noteholders.
Section 7.7 No Waiver;
Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or
power under this Security Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power,
or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement
or consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Collateral Agent
with the concurrence or at the direction of the Required Noteholders required under Section 8.05 of the Indenture and then only to the
extent specifically set forth in such writing; provided that this Security Agreement may be supplemented through amendments substantially
in the forms of Exhibits H, I, and J hereto, in each case duly executed by the Grantor directly affected thereby
and acknowledged and agreed to by the Collateral Agent.
Section 7.8 Limitation
by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the
extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are
intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary
so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or
in part. Any provision in this Security Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.
21
Section 7.9 Reinstatement.
This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against
any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor
or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof
(including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount,
or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent
conveyance,” or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion), all as though
such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof (including a payment effected through
exercise of a right of setoff), is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced
only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Section 7.10 Benefit
of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors,
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all Persons who become
bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations
under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, except as permitted by the Indenture or without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of Required Noteholders). No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions
of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted
to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.
Section 7.11 Survival
of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in Article III of this Security Agreement
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
Section 7.12 Headings.
The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation
of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.
Section 7.13 Termination.
(a) This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations
outstanding) until (i) the Indenture has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) have been paid and performed in full and no commitments of
the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties which would give rise to any Secured Obligations are outstanding.
(b) A
Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 13.02 and Article 3, as applicable,
of the Indenture.
(c) The
security interest granted in favor of Collateral Agent hereby in any Collateral shall automatically be released and such Collateral shall
be free and clear of the Lien and security interests created hereby (i) to the extent provided in Section 8.03 or 11.02 of the Indenture,
as applicable or (ii) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of such security interest granted hereby in such Collateral
pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture.
22
(d) Upon
any termination or release pursuant to the preceding clauses (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall, after receiving written documents
