(i)`The Purchaser is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act) and is aware that the sale of the Notes is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is acquiring the Notes (and any shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes) for its own account, and not with a view toward, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of any federal or state securities or “blue sky” law, or with any present intention of distributing or selling such Notes (or any shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes) in violation of the Securities Act. The Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in such Notes (and any shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes) and is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment. The Purchaser has been provided a reasonable opportunity to undertake and has undertaken such investigation and has been provided with and has evaluated such documents and information as it has deemed necessary to enable it to make an informed and intelligent decision with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
(ii)Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates is acting in concert, and neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has any agreement or understanding, with any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser, and is not otherwise a member of a “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), with respect to the Company or its securities, in each case, other than with respect to any bona fide loan from one or more financial institutions.
(e)Brokers and Finders. The Purchaser has not retained, utilized or been represented by, or otherwise become obligated to, any broker, placement agent, financial advisor or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whose fees the Company would be required to pay.

None of the Purchaser or its Affiliates Beneficially Own any shares of Company Common Stock (without giving effect to the issuance of the Notes hereunder) other than any shares of Company Common Stock that may be owned by managing directors, officers or other employees of SLTM or other Silver Lake management entity or general partner in their individual capacities.
(g)No Additional Representations.
(i)The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company does not make any representation or warranty as to any matter whatsoever except as expressly set forth in Section 3.01 and in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and specifically (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), that, except as expressly set forth in Section 3.01 and in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to (A) any matters relating to the Company, its business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or otherwise, (B) any projections, estimates or budgets delivered or made available to the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or other representatives) of future revenues, results of operations (or any component thereof), cash flows or financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (C) the future business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Purchaser has not relied on or been induced by such information or any other representations or warranties (whether express or implied or made orally or in writing) not expressly set forth in Section 3.01 and in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

23



(ii)The Purchaser has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries and acknowledges the Purchaser has been provided with sufficient access for such purposes. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section 3.01 and in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, (i) no person has been authorized by the Company to make any representation or warranty relating to itself or its business or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and if made, such representation or warranty must not be relied upon by the Purchaser as having been authorized by the Company, and (ii) any estimates, projections, predictions, data, financial information, memoranda, presentations or any other materials or information provided or addressed to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or representatives are not and shall not be deemed to be or include representations or warranties of the Company unless any such materials or information are the subject of any express representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01 of this Agreement and in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts promptly to take or cause to be taken all action, and promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations (other than waive such party’s rights hereunder) to consummate and make effective the sale and purchase of the Notes hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and compliance with applicable law. In case at any time before or after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of the sale and purchase of the Notes, the proper officers, managers and directors of each party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, the requesting party.

24



Section 4.02. Restricted Period.

(a)During the Restricted Period, notwithstanding any rights provided in Article V, the Purchaser shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, (x) sell, offer, transfer, assign, mortgage, hypothecate, gift, pledge or dispose of, enter into or agree to enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, mortgage, hypothecation, gift, assignment or similar disposition of (any of the foregoing, a “transfer”), any of the Notes or any shares of Company Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of any of the Notes or (y) enter into or engage in any hedge, swap, short sale, derivative transaction or other agreement or arrangement that transfers to any Third Party, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Notes or any shares of Company Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of any of the Notes (such actions in clauses (x) and (y), “Prohibited Transfers”), other than, in the case of clause (x) and/or clause (y), Permitted Transfers. “Permitted Transfers” shall mean any (i) (a) transfer of Purchaser or its Affiliates to one or more Affiliates or other members of the Silver Lake Group or (b) a transfer of the Notes or any shares of Company Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of any of the Notes to one or more Affiliates or other members of the Silver Lake Group that executes and delivers to the Company a Joinder becoming a Purchaser party to this Agreement and a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 (or any successor form), (ii) transfer to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) transfer to a Third Party for cash solely to the extent that all of the net proceeds of such sale are solely used to satisfy a bona fide margin call (i.e., posted as collateral) pursuant to a Permitted Loan, or repay a Permitted Loan to the extent necessary to satisfy a bona fide margin call on such Permitted Loan or avoid a bona fide margin call on such Permitted Loan, (iv) transfer to a Third Party in connection with entry into a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction, (v) transfer with the prior written consent of the Company or (vi) tender of any Company Common Stock into a Third Party Tender/Exchange Offer, as defined below, (and any related conversion of Notes to the extent required to effect such tender or exchange) and any transfer effected pursuant to any merger, consolidation or similar transaction consummated by the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, if such Third Party Tender/Exchange Offer does not close for any reason, the restrictions on transfer contained herein shall continue to apply to any Company Common Stock received pursuant to the conversion of any Notes that had previously been converted to participate in any such tender or exchange offer). “Third Party Tender/Exchange Offer” shall mean any tender or exchange offer made to all of the holders of Company Common Stock by a Third Party for a number of outstanding shares of Voting Stock that, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control solely to the extent that (x) the Board of Directors has recommended such tender or exchange offer in a Schedule 14D-9 under the Exchange Act or (y) such tender or exchange offer is either (I) a tender or exchange offer for less than all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or (II) part of a two-step transaction and the consideration to be received in the second step of such transaction is not identical in the amount or form of consideration (or the election of the type of consideration available to holders of Company Common Stock is not identical in the second-step of such transaction) as the first step of such transaction. Any purported Prohibited Transfer in violation of this Section 4.02 shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser (or a controlled Affiliate of the Purchaser)

25



shall be permitted to (1) mortgage, hypothecate, and/or pledge the Notes and/or the shares of Company Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Notes in respect of one or more bona fide purpose (margin) or bona fide non-purpose loans (each, a “Permitted Loan”) or (2) enter into any total return swap, asset swap or repurchase transaction with one or more banks or broker-dealers engaged in the business of financing debt securities and similar instruments, which may or may not be secured by a pledge, hypothecation or other grant of security interest in the Notes and/or the shares of Company Common Stock and/or related assets and/or cash, cash equivalents and/or letters of credit, including, without limitation, any transaction pursuant to which the Purchaser or such controlled Affiliate thereof, as applicable, transfers Notes and/or shares of Company Common Stock held by it to such bank or broker-dealer, provided that, in the case of any transaction described in this clause (2), such transaction is entered into solely for the purpose of providing liquidity and leverage and the Purchaser or such controlled Affiliate retains 100% of the economic exposure to the underlying Notes and/or shares of Company Common Stock, as the case may be, following any such transfer (each, a “Permitted Debt Financing Transaction”). Except with the Company’s prior written consent, any Permitted Loan or Permitted Debt Financing Transaction entered into by the Purchaser or its controlled Affiliates shall be with one or more financial institutions (or, in the case of a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction, with one or more banks or broker-dealers) and nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the ability of (x) any lender (or its securities Affiliate) or collateral agent to foreclose upon and sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer the Notes and/or shares of Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes following foreclosure on a Permitted Loan) mortgaged, hypothecated and/or pledged to secure the obligations of the borrower following an event of default under a Permitted Loan or (y) any permitted counterparty to a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction to sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer the Notes and/or shares of Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes) purchased from Purchaser (or its controlled Affiliate) or held as a hedge in connection with an event of default by Purchaser or its controlled Affiliate under such Permitted Debt Financing Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the events of default with respect to a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction shall be credit events of the Purchaser and/or its controlled Affiliate, as obligors under such financing transaction, and other events of default customary in margin lending and liquidity or debt leverage facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any lender or other creditor under a Permitted Loan transaction (including any agent or trustee on their behalf) or the permitted counterparty in any Permitted Debt Financing Transaction or any Affiliate of the foregoing exercises any rights or remedies in respect of the Notes or the shares of Company Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Notes or any other collateral for any Permitted Loan or Permitted Debt Financing Transaction, as applicable, no lender, creditor, agent or trustee on their behalf or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) shall be entitled to any rights or have any obligations or be subject to any transfer restrictions or limitations hereunder (including, without limitation, the rights or benefits provided for in Section 4.06 and Section 4.07) except and to the extent for those expressly provided for in Article V.

26



(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, any sale of Notes or Company Common Stock pursuant to Article V shall be subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Section 4.02 and Article V but shall not be subject to any policies, procedures or limitations (other than any applicable federal securities laws and any other applicable laws) otherwise applicable to the SL Persons with respect to trading in the Company’s securities (other than as set forth in the definition of “Blackout Period”) and the Company acknowledges and agrees that such policies, procedures or limitations applicable to the SL Persons shall not be violated by any such transfer pursuant to Article V, other than any applicable federal securities laws and any other applicable laws.

Section 4.03. Exchange Listing. Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and provide the applicable listing of additional shares notification to NASDAQ and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ, as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Closing.

Section 4.04. Securities Laws. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Closing Date, the Notes (and the shares of Company Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes) have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and that they may be sold or otherwise disposed of only in one or more transactions registered under the Securities Act and, where applicable, such laws, or as to which an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, where applicable, such laws, is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that, except as provided in Article V with respect to shares of Company Common Stock and the Notes, the Purchaser has no right to require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to register the Notes or the shares of Company Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 4.05. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Securities. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate for any security of the Company and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an undertaking by the holder thereof to indemnify the Company (and, if requested by the Company, the delivery of an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the Company from any loss it may suffer if a certificate is replaced), or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue a new certificate or, at the Company’s option, a share ownership statement representing such securities for an equivalent number of shares or another security of like tenor, as the case may be.

Section 4.06. Antitrust Approval. The Company and the Purchaser acknowledge that one or more filings under the HSR Act or foreign antitrust laws may be necessary in connection with the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes. The Purchaser will promptly notify the Company if any such filing is required on the part of the Purchaser. To the extent reasonably requested, the Company, the Purchaser and any other applicable Affiliate of the Purchaser will use reasonable efforts to cooperate in timely making or causing to be made all applications and filings under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust requirements in connection with the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion of Notes held by the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser in a timely manner and as required by the law of the applicable jurisdiction; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not have any responsibility or liability for failure of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to comply with any applicable law. For as long as there are Notes outstanding and owned by Purchaser or its Affiliates, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable provide (no more than four (4) times per calendar year) such information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to determine what foreign antitrust requirements may exist with respect to any potential conversion of the Notes. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of the filing fees associated with any such applications or filings.

27



Section 4.07. Board Nomination; Observer; Committees.

(a)The Company agrees to appoint to the Board of Directors as the initial Purchaser Designees effective as of the Closing (or such later date as may be mutually agreed by the parties) (x) one (1) individual who meets the requirements set forth in the first sentence of Section 4.07(c) (such Purchaser Designee to initially be Joseph Osnoss) and (y) one (1) individual nominated by the Purchaser who is reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors, in each case, by taking all necessary action to increase the size of the Board of Directors unless there otherwise is a vacancy in the Board of Directors and in either event filling the vacancy thereby created with such individuals. The initial Purchaser Designee described in the immediately preceding clause (x) shall be appointed as a “Class III” director and the initial Purchaser Designee described in the immediately preceding clause (y) shall be appointed as a “Class II” director.
(i)The Company agrees that, subject to satisfaction of the requirements set forth in the first sentence of Section 4.07(c), the Purchaser shall have the right to nominate one (1) nominee at each meeting, or action by written consent, of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to which individuals will be elected members to “Class III” of the Board of Directors (or at each meeting, or action by written consent, of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to which individuals will be elected members of the Board of Directors if the Board of Directors is not classified). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not have a right to nominate any member to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4.07(a)(i) (y) during any such time as the Silver Lake Group does not satisfy the 4% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test until such time as the Silver Lake Group satisfies the 4% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test (provided, that as of such time as the Silver Lake Group satisfies the 4% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test either (A) the Purchaser has not irrevocably waived in a writing delivered to the Company all of its board nomination rights pursuant to this Agreement or (B) the Company has not mailed to the Company’s stockholders the Definitive Proxy Statement (or notice related thereto if the Company has elected notice and access delivery under SEC rules) unless, in each case, such nomination right has previously terminated pursuant to clause (z) herein) and (z) from and after the date on which each of the following is satisfied: (A) the Silver Lake Group does not satisfy the 4% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test and (B) Purchaser does not have a member of the Board of Directors that was either appointed pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(x) or nominated pursuant to this Section 4.07(a)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4.07(a)(i) may become effective and/or lose effect from time to time and any number of times, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.07(a)(i) (it being understood that such rights shall forever terminate upon the satisfaction of clause (z) of the preceding sentence).

28



(ii)The Company further agrees that the Purchaser shall have the right to nominate one (1) additional nominee reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors at each meeting, or action by written consent, of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to which individuals will be elected members to “Class II” of the Board of Directors (or at each meeting, or action by written consent, of the Company’s stockholders pursuant to which individuals will be elected members of the Board of Directors if the Board of Directors is not classified). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not have a right to nominate any member to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4.07(a)(ii) (y) during any such time as the Silver Lake Group does not satisfy the 10% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test until such time as the Silver Lake Group satisfies the 10% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test (provided, that as of such time as the Silver Lake Group satisfies the 10% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test either (A) the Purchaser has not irrevocably waived in a writing delivered to the Company all of its board nomination rights pursuant to this Agreement or (B) the Company has not mailed to the Company’s stockholders the Definitive Proxy Statement (or notice related thereto if the Company has elected notice and access delivery under SEC rules) unless, in each case, such nomination right has previously terminated pursuant to clause (z) herein) and (z) from and after the date on which each of the following is satisfied: (A) the Silver Lake Group does not satisfy the 10% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test and (B) Purchaser does not have a member of the Board of Directors that was either appointed pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(y) or nominated pursuant to this Section 4.07(a)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4.07(a)(ii) may become effective and/or lose effect from time to time and any number of times, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4.07(a)(ii) (it being understood that such rights shall forever terminate upon the satisfaction of clause (z) of the preceding sentence).
(iii)It is the intent of the parties that this Section 4.07(a) comply with the applicable rules of any stock exchange upon which the shares of Company Common Stock are listed, as the same may be amended from time to time. In furtherance of the foregoing, if representatives of the applicable stock exchange upon which the shares of Company Common Stock are listed have informed the Company that the 10% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test or the 4% Minimum Ownership Threshold, as applicable, fails at any time to comply with such rules, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify the 10% Minimum Ownership Threshold Test or the 4% Minimum Ownership Threshold, as applicable, so as to comply with such rules while retaining the original intent as closely as possible so that the Purchaser preserves its rights as originally contemplated hereby to the fullest extent possible.

29



(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any Person in a transaction that would, when consummated, constitute a Change in Control (excluding for purposes of this Section 4.07(a)(iv), clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of such definition), then, the Purchaser’s rights to designate a Purchaser Designee under Sections 4.07(a)(i), 4.07(a)(ii) and 4.07(e) shall forever terminate upon the consummation of such Change in Control.
(b)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.07 and applicable law, the Company agrees to include each Purchaser Designee in its slate of nominees for election as directors of the Company at each of the Company’s meetings of stockholders or action by written consent of stockholders pursuant to which directors of the applicable “Class” are to be elected (or at each meeting of stockholders or action by written consent of stockholders pursuant to which directors are to be elected if the Board of Directors is not classified) and use its reasonable efforts to cause the election of each such Purchaser Designee to the Board of Directors. The Company will be required to use the same level of efforts and provide the same level of support as is used and/or provided for the other director nominees of the Company with respect to the applicable meeting of stockholders or action by written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, failure of the stockholders of the Company to elect any Purchaser Designee to the Board of Directors shall not affect the right of the Purchaser to nominate directors for election pursuant to this Section 4.07 in any future election of directors.
(c)Each Purchaser Designee nominated pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(x) and Section 4.07(a)(i) must be a managing director, director, officer, senior-level employee or advisor of SLTM or other Silver Lake management entity or general partner selected by the Purchaser. As a condition to any Purchaser Designee’s appointment to the Board of Directors and nomination for election as a director of the Company at the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders (i) the Purchaser and each Purchaser Designee must in all material respects provide to the Company (1) all information reasonably requested by the Company that is required to be or customarily disclosed for directors, candidates for directors, and their affiliates and representatives in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable law or regulation or stock exchange rules or listing standards, in each case, relating to their nomination or election as a director of the Company or the Company’s operations in the ordinary course of business and (2) information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors or satisfying compliance and legal or regulatory obligations, in each case, relating to their nomination or election as a director of the Company or the Company’s operations in the ordinary course of business, with respect to the Purchaser, its Affiliates and the applicable Purchaser Designee, (ii) the Purchaser Designee must submit to a customary background check consistent with what is required by the Company with respect to members of the Board of Directors generally, and (iii) the Purchaser Designee must not serve as a board member or officer of any Person who has a material portion of their business in direct competition with the Company (as determined mutually by the parties acting reasonably and in good faith) of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company will make all information requests pursuant to this Section 4.07(c) in good faith in a timely manner that allows the Purchaser and each Purchaser Designee a reasonable amount of time to provide such information, and will cooperate in good faith with the Purchaser and each Purchaser Designee in connection with their efforts to provide the requested information.

30



(d)For so long as a SL Person or Purchaser Designee is serving or participating on the Board of Directors, (i) the Company shall not implement or maintain any trading policy, equity ownership guidelines (including with respect to the use of Rule 10b5-1 plans and preclearance or notification to the Company of any trades in the Company’s securities) or similar guideline or policy with respect to the trading of securities of the Company that applies to the Purchaser or its Affiliates (including a policy that limits, prohibits, restricts Purchaser or its Affiliates from entering into any hedging or derivative arrangements), in each case other than with respect to any SL Person or Purchaser Designee solely in his or her individual capacity, except as provided herein, (ii) any share ownership requirement for any Purchaser Designee serving on the Board of Directors will be deemed satisfied by the securities owned by the Purchaser and/or its Affiliates and under no circumstances shall any of such policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines impose any restrictions on the Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ transfers of securities pursuant to Article V (except as otherwise provided therein with respect to Blackout Periods) and (iii) under no circumstances shall any policy, procedure, code, rule, standard or guideline applicable to the Board of Directors be violated by any Purchaser Designee (x) accepting an invitation to serve on another board of directors of a company whose principal line(s) of business do not compete with the principal line(s) of business of the Company or failing to notify an officer or director of the Company prior to doing so, or (y) receiving compensation from the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or (z) failing to offer his or her resignation from the Board of Directors except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or pursuant to any majority voting policy adopted by the Board of Directors, and, in each case of (i), (ii) and (iii), it is agreed that any such policies in effect from time to time that purport to impose terms inconsistent with this Section 4.07 shall not apply to the extent inconsistent with this Section 4.07 (but shall otherwise be applicable to the Purchaser Designee).
(e)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.07, if a vacancy on the Board of Directors is created as a result of a Purchaser Designee’s death, resignation, disqualification or removal, in each case for whatever reason, or if the Purchaser desires to nominate a different individual to replace any then-existing Purchaser Designee, then, at the request of the Purchaser, the Purchaser and the Company (acting through the Board of Directors) shall work together in good faith to fill such vacancy or replace such nominee as promptly as reasonably practical with a replacement Purchaser Designee subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and thereafter such individual shall as promptly as reasonably practical be appointed to the Board of Directors to fill such vacancy and/or be nominated as a Company nominee as a “Purchaser Designee” pursuant to this Section 4.07 (as applicable). In the event of an existing Purchaser Designee being replaced by the Purchaser as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, such right will only apply if the existing Purchaser Designee resigns concurrently with the appointment of his or her replacement. For so long as the Board of Directors is classified, such replacement Purchaser Designee shall be nominated to the same “Class” of directors as the prior Purchaser Designee or whichever “Class” is furthest from being required to seek re-election.

31



(f)For so long as the Purchaser has the right to nominate a member of the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4.07, the Purchaser shall have the right to designate one (1) observer (including any substitute observer designated by the Purchaser) (the “SL Observer”) who shall be entitled to attend (in person or telephonically) all meetings of the Board of Directors and any Committee thereof (other than any executive sessions of such meetings) and to receive copies of all notices, minutes, consents, agendas and other materials distributed to the Board of Directors and any Committee thereof; provided, however, if the Company believes in good faith that excluding any such materials (or portions thereof) from the SL Observer is necessary (x) to preserve attorney-client privilege, (y) to protect trade secrets or (z) due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, such materials (or portions thereof) may be withheld from the SL Observer and the SL Observer may be excluded from any meeting or portion thereof related to such matters upon reasonable prior notice to the SL Observer (to the extent practicable). The SL Observer shall be a managing director, officer, advisor or employee of SLTM or other Silver Lake management entity or general partner selected by the Purchaser. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the SL Observer may participate in discussions of matters brought to the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof; provided, that the SL Observer shall have no voting rights with respect to actions taken or elected not to be taken by the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof and the SL Observer shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Company, its Subsidiaries or the holders of any class or series of Company securities. If the SL Observer is unable to attend any meeting of the Board of Directors or a Committee thereof, the Purchaser shall have the right to designate a substitute SL Observer upon reasonable prior written notice to the Board of Directors or such Committee. Any SL Observer shall be subject to the terms of the New Confidentiality Agreement.
(g)For so long as the Purchaser is entitled to designate a Purchaser Designee who meets the Independence Requirements, each committee of the Board of Directors (each, a “Committee”) shall include as a member at least one (1) Purchaser Designee who meets the Independence Requirements. As used herein, “Independence Requirements” means any director and committee member independence requirements set forth pursuant to applicable law and the applicable rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company Common Stock is listed, including the independence requirements established by the SEC, it being understood that the relationship of any Purchaser Designee with the Silver Lake Group will not, by itself, prevent any such Purchaser Designee from satisfying the Independence Requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors shall establish a Committee to consider (i) a proposed contract, transaction or other arrangement between the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, (ii) the enforcement or waiver of the rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any agreement between the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates), on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, or (iii) a matter which the Board of Directors determines in good faith presents an actual or potential conflict of interest for the Purchaser Designees, then the Purchaser Designees (and the SL Observer) may be excluded from participation in such Committee (and any portion of a Board meeting at which such matters may be discussed by the full Board of Directors upon reasonable prior notice to the Purchaser Designees and the SL Observer (to the extent practicable)).

32



(h)To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and subject to any express agreement that may from time to time be in effect, the Company agrees that any Purchaser Designee, SL Person, Silver Lake Group and any SL Affiliate or any portfolio company thereof (collectively, “Covered Persons”) may, and shall have no duty not to, (i) invest in, carry on and conduct, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, equityholder or investor in any person, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Company or its Affiliates; and/or (iii) make investments in any kind of property in which the Company may make investments. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy to participate in any business or investments of any Covered Person as currently conducted or as may be conducted in the future, and waives any claim against a Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of such person’s participation in any such business or investment. The Company shall pay in advance any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision. Except as set forth below, the Company agrees that in the event that a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (x) the Covered Person and (y) the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company or its Subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any potential transaction or matter of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge, except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing stating that such offer is intended solely for such Covered Person in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors, and waives any claim against each Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person to the extent permitted by the DGCL against any claim, that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Covered Person (A) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any Affiliate or other person, (B) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company; provided, that, in each such case, any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing stating that such offer is intended solely for such Covered Person in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors shall belong to the Company. The Company shall pay in advance any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision, except to the extent that it is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a Delaware court having competent jurisdiction (or any other judgment which is not appealed in the applicable time) that (i) a Covered Person has breached this Section 4.07(h) or (ii) an SL Director has breached its fiduciary duties to the Company, in which case any such advanced expenses shall be promptly reimbursed to the Company.

33



(i)For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting any other rights of the Purchaser or its Affiliates under this Agreement, each SL Person and Purchaser Designee shall be entitled to receive Board fees and compensation and expense reimbursement according to the Company’s standard policies with respect to service on the Board of Directors or any Committee (for this purpose, an SL Observer shall be treated the same as an SL Director, except such SL Observer shall not be entitled to receive any Board fees or compensation).
(j)For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary, transferees of the Notes and/or the shares of Company Common Stock (other than Affiliates of the Purchaser who sign a Joinder) shall not have any rights pursuant to this Section 4.07.

Section 4.08. VCOC Letter. The Company shall deliver to the Purchaser at the Closing and from time to time any Affiliate of the Purchaser to whom the Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement are assigned in accordance with this Agreement a letter substantially consistent with the form thereof previously furnished by the Purchaser (the “VCOC Letter”).

Section 4.09. Financing Cooperation.

(a)If requested by the Purchaser, the Company will provide the following cooperation in connection with the Purchaser obtaining any Permitted Loan or Permitted Debt Financing Transaction: (i) entering into an issuer agreement (an “Issuer Agreement”) with each lender in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and subject to the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), with such changes thereto as are requested by such lender, (ii) if so requested by such lender or counterparty, as applicable, re-registering the pledged Notes and/or shares of Company Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Notes, as applicable, in the name of the relevant lender, counterparty, custodian or similar party to a Permitted Loan or Permitted Debt Financing Transaction, with respect to Permitted Loans solely as securities intermediary and only to the extent such Purchaser or its Affiliates continues to beneficially own such pledged Notes and/or shares of Company Common Stock, (iii) entering into customary triparty agreements with each lender and the Purchaser relating to the delivery of the Notes to the relevant lender for crediting to the relevant collateral accounts upon funding of the loan and payment of the purchase price including a right for such lender as a third party beneficiary of the Company’s obligation under Article II to issue the Notes upon payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(d)) and/or (iv) such other cooperation and assistance as the Purchaser may reasonably request that will not unreasonably disrupt the operation of the Company’s business.

34



(b)Anything in Section 4.09(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company’s obligation to deliver an Issuer Agreement in connection with a Permitted Loan is conditioned on (x) the Purchaser delivering to the Company a copy of the loan agreement for the Permitted Loan to which the Issuer Agreement relates and (y) the Purchaser certifying to the Company in writing that (A) the loan agreement with respect to which the Issuer Agreement is being delivered constitutes a Permitted Loan being entered into in accordance with this Agreement, the Purchaser has pledged the Notes and/or the underlying shares of Company Common Stock as collateral to the lenders under such Permitted Loan and that the execution of such Permitted Loan and the terms thereof do not violate the terms of this Agreement, (B) to the extent applicable, whether the registration rights under Article V are being assigned to the lenders under that Permitted Loan, (C) that an event of default (as contemplated by the Margin Loan Agreement as defined in the Issuer Agreement) constitutes the only circumstances under which the lenders under the Permitted Loan may foreclose on the Notes and/or the underlying shares of Company Common Stock and a transfer to a Third Party for cash constitutes the only circumstances under which the Purchaser may sell the Notes and/or the underlying shares of Company Common Stock in order to satisfy a margin call or repay a Permitted Loan, in each case to the extent necessary to satisfy or avoid a bona fide margin call on such Permitted Loan and that such provisions do not violate the terms of this Agreement and (D) the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be relying on such certificate when entering into the Issuer Agreement and any inaccuracy in such certificate will be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement are solely for the benefit of the applicable lenders party thereto and that in any dispute between the Company and the Purchaser under this Agreement the Purchaser shall not be entitled to use the statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement against the Company.
(c)The Company’s obligation to deliver an Issuer Agreement in connection with a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction is conditioned on (x) the Purchaser delivering to the Company a copy of the agreement for such Permitted Debt Financing Transaction and (y) the Purchaser certifying to the Company in writing that (A) the counterparty to such Permitted Debt Financing Transaction is a bank or broker-dealer that is engaged in the business of financing debt securities and similar instruments, (B) the execution of such Permitted Debt Financing Transaction and the terms thereof do not violate the terms of this Agreement, (C) to the extent applicable, whether the registration rights under Article V are being assigned to the counterparty under that Permitted Debt Financing Transaction, (D) that an event of default (which shall be only credit events of the Purchaser and/or its controlled Affiliate and other events of default customary in margin lending and liquidity or debt leverage facilities) by the Purchaser or its controlled Affiliate constitutes the only circumstances under which the counterparty or counterparties under the Permitted Debt Financing Transaction may exercise rights and remedies to transfer to itself or sell, during the Restricted Period, the Notes and/or the underlying shares of Company Common Stock purchased from Purchaser (or its controlled Affiliate) or held as a hedge.
(d)Upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall consider in good faith any amendments to this Agreement, the Indenture or the Notes proposed by the Purchaser necessary to facilitate the consummation of a Permitted Loan transaction or Permitted Debt Financing Transaction, and the Company shall consent to any such amendment that is not adverse in any respect to the interests of the Company (as determined in good faith by the Company or the Board of Directors, excluding any SL Directors), it being acknowledged that the registration of the Notes for resale by the Target Registration Date is not adverse to the interests of the Company.

35



Section 4.10. Certain Tax Matters. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to deduct and withhold from any payment or distribution made with respect to the Notes (or the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes) such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment or distribution (or issuance) under any applicable Tax law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. In the event the Company previously remitted any amounts to a Governmental Entity on account of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution) on any Notes, the Company shall be entitled to offset any such amounts against any amounts otherwise payable in respect of such Notes (or the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes).
  
Section 4.11. Section 16 Matters. If the Company becomes a party to a consolidation, merger or other similar transaction, or if the Company proposes to take or omit to take any other action under Section 4.16 (including granting to the Purchaser the right to participate in any issuance of Additional Securities) or if there is any event or circumstance that may result in the Silver Lake Group and/or any SL Person being deemed to have made a disposition or acquisition of equity securities of the Company or derivatives thereof for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including the purchase by the Purchaser of any Additional Securities under Section 4.16), and if any SL Person is serving or participating on the Board of Directors at such time or has served on the Board of Directors during the preceding six months, then upon request of the Purchaser or any Purchaser Designee, (i) the Board of Directors or a Committee composed solely of two or more “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act will pre-approve such acquisition or disposition of equity securities of the Company or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the Silver Lake Group’s or any SL Person’s interests (in each case, to the extent such persons may be deemed to be a director or “directors by deputization”) in such transaction from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder to the extent applicable and (ii) if the transaction involves (A) a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party and the Company Common Stock is, in whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for equity securities of a different issuer, (B) a potential acquisition or deemed acquisition, or disposition or deemed disposition, by the Silver Lake Group or any SL Person of equity securities of such other issuer or derivatives thereof and (C) an Affiliate or other designee of the Purchaser or its Affiliates will serve on the board of directors (or its equivalent) of such other issuer, then the Company shall require that such other issuer pre-approve any such acquisitions of equity securities or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the interests of the Silver Lake Group’s and any SL Person’s (in each case, to the extent such persons may be deemed to be a director or “directors by deputization” of such other issuer) in such transactions from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder to the extent applicable.

Section 4.12. D&O Indemnification / Insurance Priority Matters. Each Purchaser Designee who serves as a member of the Board of Directors (including an SL Director) (collectively, the “Section 4.12 Persons”) shall be eligible to enter into an indemnification agreement consistent with the form thereof previously furnished by the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any Section 4.12 Person who is a partner, member, employee, advisor or consultant of any member of the Silver Lake Group may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the applicable member of the Silver Lake Group (collectively, the “Silver Lake Indemnitors”). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and/or indemnification agreement (including Section 5.05 hereof) to any Section 4.12 Person, in his or her capacity as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable (such that the Company’s obligations to such indemnitees in their capacities as directors are primary and any obligation of the Silver Lake Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitees are secondary). Such indemnitees shall, in their capacities as directors, be entitled to all the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and entitled to insurance to the extent provided under (i) the certificate of incorporation and/or bylaws of the Company as in effect from time to time and/or (ii) such other agreement (including Section 5.05 hereof), if any, between the Company and such indemnitees, without regard to any rights such indemnitees may have against the Silver Lake Indemnitors. No advancement or payment by the Silver Lake Indemnitors on behalf of such indemnitees with respect to any claim for which such indemnitees have sought indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance from the Company in their capacities as directors shall affect the foregoing and the Silver Lake Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such indemnitees against the Company.

36



Section 4.13. Conversion Price Matters. The Conversion Price on the Closing Date will equal $42.00, and the Conversion Rate on the Closing Date (the “Initial Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient (rounded to four decimal places) of $1,000 divided by such Conversion Price; provided, that if any event shall occur between the date hereof and the Closing Date (inclusive) that would have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Article 10 of the Indenture if the Notes had been issued and outstanding since the date hereof, the Initial Conversion Rate and the share amounts in the table of “Make-Whole Applicable Increases” set forth in Section 10.14(b) of the Indenture shall be adjusted in the same manner as would have been required by Article 10 of the Indenture if the Notes had been issued and outstanding since the date hereof and the Conversion Price, Initial Conversion Rate and “Make-Whole Applicable Increases” table included in the Indenture shall reflect such adjustment.

Section 4.14. Transfers of SL Securities that are Global Securities. The Purchaser agrees that (i) except in the case of a foreclosure under a Permitted Loan pursuant to which the lender thereunder is obligated to exchange the foreclosed interest in SL Securities that are Global Securities for a Global Security other than an SL Security, Purchaser and its Affiliates will only transfer their interests in SL Securities that are Global Securities to a Third Party if such Person receives such transferred interest in a Global Security other than an SL Security and (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates may only transfer an interest in SL Securities that are Global Securities to an Affiliate of Purchaser if such Affiliate continues to hold such transferred interest in Global Securities that are SL Securities and not any other Global Security.

Section 4.15. Par Value. While the Purchaser owns any Notes, the Company will not, without the consent of the Purchaser, increase the par value per share of the Company Common Stock to above $0.0001 per share.

37



Section 4.16. Participation Rights.

(a)Until the earlier of (i) such time as there is no SL Director serving on the Board of Directors and the Purchaser is no longer entitled to designate a director nominee pursuant to Section 4.07 and (ii) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, whenever the Company or any of its Subsidiaries proposes to issue, directly or indirectly (including, through any underwriters) any Additional Securities that are not Excluded Securities (such proposed issuance, an “Additional Investment”), the Company will consult with the Purchaser reasonably in advance of undertaking such issuance and, if and only if the Purchaser notifies the Company within five (5) Business Days following such consultation of its preliminary interest in receiving an offer to participate in such issuance (which indication shall not be binding upon the Purchaser), the Company will provide written notice of such proposed issuance to the Purchaser (an “Offer Notice”) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed date of the purchase agreement, investment agreement or other agreement (the “Additional Investment Agreement”). Each Offer Notice shall include the applicable purchase price per security for such Additional Investment, the aggregate amount of the proposed Additional Investment and the other material terms and conditions of such Additional Investment, including the proposed closing date. The Offer Notice shall constitute the Company’s offer to issue such Additional Investment to the Purchaser substantially on the terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice, which offer shall be irrevocable for five (5) Business Days following the date the Offer Notice is received by the Purchaser (the “Participation Notice Period”). The Purchaser may elect to purchase up to all of the Additional Securities on the terms proposed; provided that to the extent the issuance of Additional Securities to the Purchaser would result in a Stockholder Approval Requirement, the Purchaser may elect to purchase up to an amount of Additional Securities that would not cause the Stockholder Approval Requirement. If the Company believes the issuance of Additional Securities to the Purchaser would result in a Stockholder Approval Requirement, the Company shall notify the Purchaser reasonably in advance of undertaking such issuance, and the Company will consider in good faith any proposed revisions made by the Purchaser to the terms of the proposed Additional Investment that (i) would only be applicable to the Purchaser, (ii) would not result in the Company needing to obtain stockholder approval in connection with the Additional Investment as a result of the issuance of Additional Securities to the Purchaser and (iii) are not, in the aggregate, materially adverse to the terms of the Additional Investment. If the Purchaser elects to purchase all or a portion of such Additional Investment specified in the Offer Notice, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company during the Participation Notice Period a written notice stating the aggregate amount of the proposed Additional Investment that the Purchaser offers to purchase (the “Participation Notice”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company is seeking stockholder approval for any Third Party in connection with the Additional Investment or for any other matter that may be needed to consummate the proposed issuance of Additional Securities, then the Company shall also seek stockholder approval in connection with the issuance of the Additional Securities to the Purchaser.

38



(b)If the Purchaser does not deliver a Participation Notice during the Participation Notice Period (or if, prior to the expiration of the Participation Notice Period, the Purchaser delivers to the Company a written notice declining to participate in the Additional Investment specified in the Offer Notice), the Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to participate in such Additional Investment under this Section 4.16 and the Company shall thereafter be free to issue during the sixty (60) Business Day period following the expiration of the Participation Notice Period (or the receipt by the Company of a written notice from the Purchaser declining to participate in such Additional Investment) such proposed Additional Investment to one or more Third Parties on terms and conditions no more favorable to any such Third Party than those set forth in the Offer Notice, unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser and the Company. Any obligation of the Company and the Purchaser to participate in any Additional Investment shall in all cases be conditioned on applicable antitrust clearance or approval under antitrust or other applicable law, and the closing date for such Additional Investment by the Purchaser shall not occur until the later of (x) at least fifteen (15) Business Days after the Purchaser’s receipt of such clearance or approval or the Purchaser’s waiver of such conditions and (y) at least eleven (11) Business Days after the Company and the Purchaser enter into the Additional Investment Agreement in respect of such Additional Investment, in each case of (x) and (y), unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser and the Company. The Purchaser may from time to time designate one or more of its Affiliates through which the participation right in this Section 4.16 may be exercised.
(c)The issuance of “Additional Securities” means the issuance of any equity security, or instrument convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the granting of any option, warrant, commitment or right by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any of the foregoing. The issuance of “Excluded Securities” means any issuance of (i) Additional Securities as initial and/or deferred consideration to the selling Persons in an acquisition by the Company or its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether structured as a merger, consolidation, asset or stock purchase, or other similar transaction), (ii) Additional Securities to a third-party financial institution in connection with a bona fide borrowing by the Company or its Subsidiaries, (iii) Additional Securities to the Company’s directors, employees, advisors or consultants (including as a result of the exercise of any option to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Company Common Stock or upon the vesting or delivery of any award of restricted stock units (including performance-based restricted stock units) that corresponds to Company Common Stock and/or an option to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Company Common Stock, including under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan), (iv) Additional Securities by a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or another wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, (v) Additional Securities in connection with any stock split, stock combination, stock dividend, distribution or recapitalization, (vi) Additional Securities in a bona fide underwritten public offering (including a marketed “Rule 144A” offering of debt securities to accredited investors through one or more initial purchasers and hedging activities related thereto), (vii) Additional Securities issued upon the conversion of the notes described in the 2013 Indenture or the exercise of any warrants outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and (viii) Additional Securities issued in connection with a strategic partnership or commercial arrangement, other than (x) with a private equity firm or similar financial institution or (y) an issuance whose primary purpose is the provision of financing. If the Purchaser elects to purchase the Additional Securities pursuant to this Section 4.16, the Purchaser, at its expense, shall make any filings required in connection with such participation under antitrust or other applicable law promptly following the delivery to the Company of the corresponding Participation Notice and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain applicable antitrust clearance and/or approval under antitrust or other applicable laws.

39



(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any Person in a transaction that would, when consummated, constitute a Change in Control (excluding for purposes of this Section 4.16, clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of such definition), then, the Purchaser’s rights under this Section 4.16 shall forever terminate upon the consummation of such Change in Control.

Section 4.17. Conduct of Business. The Company agrees that, prior to the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.03, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, the Company will not, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries not to, take any action or fail to take any action that would violate Section 4.07 of the Indenture (assuming, for the purpose of determining compliance with this Section 4.17, that the Notes were issued on the date hereof).

Section 4.18. Standstill.

(a)The Purchaser agrees that, during the Standstill Period, it shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner, alone or in concert with others take any of the following actions without the prior consent of the Company (acting through a resolution of the Company’s directors not including any SL Directors):

(ii)form, join, encourage, influence, advise or in any way participate in any “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any persons who are not its Affiliates with respect to any securities of the Company or otherwise in any manner agree, attempt, seek or propose to deposit any securities of the Company or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such securities in any voting trust or similar arrangement, or subject any securities of the Company to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting thereof, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement;

40



(iii)acquire, offer or propose to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, whether by purchase, tender or exchange offer, through the acquisition of control of another person, by joining a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group (including any group of persons that would be treated as a single “person” under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), through swap or hedging transactions or otherwise, any securities of the Company or any rights decoupled from the underlying securities that would result in the Purchaser (together with its Affiliates), having Beneficial Ownership of more than 19.9% in the aggregate of the shares of the Company Common Stock outstanding at such time (assuming all the Notes are converted), excluding any issuance by the Company of shares of Company Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights to acquire Company Common Stock (or the exercise thereof) to any SL Director as compensation for their membership on the Board of Directors; provided that nothing herein will require any Notes or shares of Company Common Stock to be sold to the extent the Purchaser and its Affiliates, collectively, exceeds the ownership limit under this paragraph as the result of a share repurchase or any other Company actions that reduces the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 4.18(a)(iii), no securities Beneficially Owned by a portfolio company of the Purchaser or its Affiliates will be deemed to be Beneficially Owned by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates only so long as (x) such portfolio company is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser for purposes of this Agreement, (y) neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has encouraged, instructed, directed, supported, assisted or advised, or coordinated with, such portfolio company with respect to the acquisition, voting or disposition of securities of the Company by the portfolio company and (z) neither the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a member of a group (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with that portfolio company with respect to any securities of the Company;

Section 4.20. Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) take all action necessary within their control (other than waiving any of the Company’s rights) so that no “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation is applicable to the Silver Lake Group Beneficially Owning the Notes and the Company Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Notes, acquiring additional Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.16 and transferring the Notes and the Company Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Notes consistent with the terms of this Article IV, (b) not adopt or repeal, as the case may be, any anti-takeover provision in the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries that is applicable to any of the foregoing, and (c) not adopt or repeal, as the case may be, any shareholder rights plan, “poison pill” or similar measure that is applicable to any of the foregoing.

(a)The Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents, including any SL Person or Purchaser Designee (each an “Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified by the Company for any and all Losses to which such Indemnitees may become subject as a result of, arising in connection with, or relating to any actual or threatened claim, suit, action, arbitration, cause of action, complaint, allegation, criminal prosecution, investigation, demand letter, or proceeding, whether at law or at equity and whether public or private, before or by any Governmental Entity, any arbitrator or other tribunal (each, an “Action”) by any Person (including, without limitation, any stockholder of the Company and regardless of whether such Action is against an Indemnitee) arising out of or relating to the Transactions; provided, that the Company will not be liable to indemnify any Indemnitee for any such Losses to the extent that such Losses (w) have resulted from an Action by the Company against the Purchaser in connection with the Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement or an Indemnitee’s breach of the Prior Confidentiality Agreement or the New Confidentiality Agreement, (x) are as a result of an Action brought against an Indemnitee by any Person who is a limited partner of, or other investor in, such Indemnitee in such Person’s capacity as a limited partner of, or other investor in, such Indemnitee, (y) as a result of any Action brought against the Purchaser or its Affiliates by any Person providing a Permitted Loan, a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction or other financing or hedging arrangement to the Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ investment in the Notes or (z) have resulted from an Indemnitee’s fraud or violation of applicable law in connection with the Transactions. The parties agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that this Section 4.18 shall not apply to any matter for which indemnification is otherwise provided in Section 5.05.
(b)Each Indemnitee shall give the Company prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third party Action it has actual knowledge of that might give rise to Losses, which notice shall set forth a description of those elements of such Action of which such Indemnitee has knowledge; provided, that any delay or failure to give such Indemnification Notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations of the Company hereunder except to the extent the Company is materially prejudiced by such delay or failure.
(c)The Company shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the applicable Indemnitee(s) within thirty (30) days of receipt of the applicable Indemnification Notice, to select counsel to defend and control the defense of any third party claim set forth in such Indemnification Notice; provided, that the Company shall not be entitled to so select counsel or control the defense of any claim if (i) such claim seeks primarily non-monetary or injunctive relief against the Indemnitee or alleges any violation of criminal law, (ii) the Company does not, subsequent to its assumption of such defense in accordance with this clause (c), conduct the defense of such claim actively and diligently, (iii) such claim includes as the named parties both the Company and the applicable Indemnitee(s) and such Indemnitees reasonably determine upon the advice of counsel that representation of all such Indemnitees by the same counsel would be prohibited by applicable codes of professional conduct, or (iv) in the event that, based on the reasonable advice of counsel for the applicable Indemnitee(s), there are one or more material defenses available to the applicable Indemnitee(s) that are not available to the Company. If the Company does not assume the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this clause (c), the applicable Indemnitee(s) may continue to defend such claim at the sole cost of the Company and the Company may still participate in, but not control, the defense of such third party claim at the Company’s sole cost and expense. In no event shall the Company, in connection with any Action or separate but substantially similar Actions arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnitees chosen by the Silver Lake Group, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend the Action.

44



(d)No Indemnitee shall consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any claim for which such Indemnitee is indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.22, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except with the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitee(s), the Company, in the defense of any such claim, shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting any Indemnitee or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnitee(s) of an unconditional release of such Indemnitee(s) from all liability with respect to such Action. In any such third party claim where the Company has assumed control of the defense thereof pursuant to clause (c), the Company shall keep the applicable Indemnitee(s) reasonably informed as to the status of such claim at all stages thereof (including all settlement negotiations and offers), promptly submit to such Indemnitee(s) copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and paper received or filed in connection therewith, permit such Indemnitee(s) and their respective counsels to confer with the Company and its counsel with respect to the conduct of the defense thereof, and permit such Indemnitee(s) and their respective counsel(s) a reasonable opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission.

Section 4.23. Certain Amendments. The Company shall not amend, restate, modify, waive or supplement the Note Purchase Agreement or any provisions thereof without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except with respect to any amendments, restatements, modifications, waivers or supplements of or to Sections 1 or 2 (and Schedule A to the extent referenced in such sections) or Schedule B thereof, which may be consented to or not in the sole discretion of the Purchaser).

Section 4.24. Guaranteed Obligations.

(a)The Guarantor hereby, irrevocably and unconditionally and as a primary obligation, guarantees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the payment by the Purchaser of its obligations for payment under this Agreement if, when and as due by the Purchaser at the Closing under Sections 2.01 and 2.02 (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). If the Purchaser fails to pay any such Guaranteed Obligations if, when and as due under Sections 2.01 and Section 2.02, the Guarantor shall, upon the written request of the Company, promptly pay, such Guaranteed Obligations. The guarantee made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Section 4.24 (the “Guarantee”) is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. The Guarantor’s maximum aggregate liability under this Section 4.24 shall not exceed the Purchase Price. The Company hereby agrees that in no event shall the Guarantor be required to pay any amount to the Company or any other Person under this Agreement other than as expressly set forth in this Section 4.24.

45



(b)This Guarantee and all of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 4.24 shall terminate and expire on the earlier of (i) the date this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 2.03 and (ii) upon the Closing. No claims may be made under this Guarantee (x) after the Closing or the date on which the Company (y) brings any Action against the Guarantor for any amounts in excess of the Guaranteed Obligations or (z) commences any Action against the Guarantor other than for enforcement of this Guarantee pursuant and subject to the terms of to this Section 4.24
(c)This Guarantee may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Guarantor. This Guarantee constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Guarantor and the Company relating to the subject matter hereof. Any waiver of any term or condition of this Guarantee must be in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. Any waiver of any term or condition of this Guarantee shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Guarantee.
(d)This Guarantee may only be enforced against the Guarantor and no Specified Person shall have any liability for any obligation under this Section 4.24.

ARTICLE V

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 5.01. Registration Statement.

(a)The Company will use reasonable efforts to prepare and file and use reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective or otherwise become effective pursuant to the Securities Act (x) for the registration of resales of Company Common Stock, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date (and, in any event, no later than three (3) months following the Closing Date) and (y) for all other registration requests, as soon as reasonably practicable following a written request of holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes that are Registrable Securities and, in any event, no later than the date that is the later of (A) six (6) months following the Closing Date and (B) three (3) months following the date of such request (such later date, the “Target Registration Date”), a Registration Statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) in order to provide for resales of Registrable Securities to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which Registration Statement will (except to the extent the SEC objects in written comments upon the SEC’s review of such Registration Statement) include the Plan of Distribution. In addition, the Company will from time to time after the Initial Registration Statement has been declared effective use reasonable efforts to file such additional Registration Statements to cover resales of any Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Silver Lake Group that are not registered for resale pursuant to a pre-existing Registration Statement and will use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective or otherwise to become effective under the Securities Act and, subject to Section 5.02, will use its reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the Registration Termination Date. Any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Article V shall cover only Registrable Securities, shall be on Form S-3 (or a successor form) if the Company is eligible to use such form and shall be an automatically effective Registration Statement if the Company is a WKSI (in which case, the Registration Statement may request registration of an unspecified amount of Registrable Securities to be sold by unspecified holders).

46



(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 5.02 and further subject to the availability of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) to the Company pursuant to the Securities Act and the rules and interpretations of the SEC, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement (or any replacement Registration Statement) continuously effective until the earlier of (such earlier date, the “Registration Termination Date”): (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement and (ii) there otherwise cease to be any Registrable Securities.
(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during such period of time from and after the Target Registration Date that the Company ceases to be eligible to file or use a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto), upon the written request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act covering the Registrable Securities of the requesting party and use reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective pursuant to the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after filing thereof and file and cause to become effective such amendments thereto as are necessary in order to keep such Registration Statement continuously available. Each such written request must specify the amount and intended manner of disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided, that the minimum amount of such Registrable Securities shall be $50,000,000. When the Company regains the ability to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities it shall as promptly as practicably do so in accordance with Section 5.01(a).

Section 5.02. Registration Limitations and Obligations.

(a)Subject to Section 5.01, the Company will use reasonable efforts to prepare such supplements or amendments (including a post-effective amendment), if required by applicable law, to each applicable Registration Statement and file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will be Available at all times during the period for which such Registration Statement is, or is required pursuant to this Agreement to be, effective; provided, that no such supplement, amendment or filing will be required during a Blackout Period. In order to facilitate the Company’s determination of whether to initiate a Blackout Period, the Purchaser shall give the Company notice of a proposed sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement at least two (2) Business Days (or, if two Business Days is not practicable, one (1) Business Day) prior to the proposed date of sale (which notice shall not bind the Purchaser to make any sale).

47



(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities, to require such holders of Registrable Securities to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement during any Blackout Period; provided, for purposes of this Section 5.02, the Company shall only be obligated to provide written notice to any holder or Beneficial Owner of Registrable Securities of any such Blackout Period, or the certificate described in the following sentence, if such holder or Beneficial Owner has specified in writing (including electronic mail) to the Company for purposes of receiving such notice such holder’s or Beneficial Owner’s address (including electronic mail), contact and fax number information. No sales may be made under the applicable Registration Statement during any Blackout Period. In the event of a Blackout Period, the Company shall (x) deliver to the holders of Registrable Securities a certificate signed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or general counsel of the Company confirming that the conditions described in the definition of Blackout Period are met (but which certificate need not specify the nature of the event causing such conditions to have been met), which certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay, and (y) notify each holder of Registrable Securities promptly upon each of the commencement and the termination of each Blackout Period, which notice of termination shall be delivered to each holder of Registrable Securities no later than the close of business of the last day of the Blackout Period. In connection with the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company to the extent necessary and as required by applicable law shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare supplements or amendments, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that the Registration Statement will be Available. A Blackout Period shall be deemed to have expired when the Company has notified the holders of Registrable Securities that the Blackout Period is over and the Registration Statement is Available. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the absence of an Available Registration Statement at any time from and after the Target Registration Date shall be considered a Blackout Period and subject to the limitations therein.

48



(c)At any time that a Registration Statement is effective and prior to the Registration Termination Date, if a holder of Registrable Securities (an “Initiating Holder”) delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell at least $25,000,000 of Registrable Securities held by such holder (provided that, if a Purchaser and its Affiliates do not own at least $25,000,000 of Registrable Securities, they shall be permitted to deliver a Take-Down Notice to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by them), in each case, pursuant to the Registration Statement, then, the Company shall (i) amend or supplement the Registration Statement as may be necessary and to the extent required by law so that the Registration Statement remains Available in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed in an Underwritten Offering (subject to Section 5.02(b)) and (ii) (x) within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the Take-Down Notice and confirmation of such receipt by the treasurer or chief financial officer of the Company and by counsel to the Company, deliver a written notice (a “Take-Down Participation Notice”) of any such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities (the “Eligible Participation Holders”), which Take-Down Participation Notice shall offer each such holder the opportunity to include in such registration that number of Registrable Securities of the same type (i.e., Notes or Company Common Stock) to be offered by the Initiating Holder as each such holder (a “Participating Holder”) may request. The Company shall include in such registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received from a holder entitled to receive a Take-Down Participation Notice pursuant to the preceding sentence written requests for inclusion therein within (i) in the case of an Underwritten Offering that is not a Marketed Underwritten Offering, one (1) Business Day after the date the Take-Down Participation Notice was delivered and confirmed received by the treasurer or chief financial officer of the Company and by counsel to the Company and (ii) in the case of a Marketed Underwritten Offering, three (3) Business Days after the date the Take-Down Participation Notice was delivered; provided, that each Selling Holder will retain the right to withdraw their Registrable Securities from such registration in writing to the underwriters prior to the pricing of the applicable offering. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities for which a holder delivers a Take-Down Notice and satisfies the dollar thresholds set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(c) and the Take-Down Notice contemplates a Marketed Underwritten Offering, the Company will use reasonable efforts to cooperate and make its senior officers available for participation in such marketing efforts (which marketing efforts will not, for the avoidance of doubt, include a “road show” requiring such officers to travel outside of the city in which they are primarily located). A Majority in Interest of Selling Holders shall have the right hereunder to, in their sole discretion: (i) select the underwriter(s) for each Underwritten Offering, (ii) determine the pricing of the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to any such Registration Statement, including the underwriting discount and fees payable by the Selling Holders to the underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, as well as any other financial terms, (iii) determine the timing of any such registration and sale and (iv) determine the total number of Registrable Securities that can be included in such Underwritten Offering in consultation with the managing underwriters (collectively, the “Offering Terms”); provided, that the Initiating Holder shall consult with each other Participating Holder (other than any Participating Holder that is not a member of the Silver Lake Group) in respect of the Offering Terms. Each Selling Holder shall be solely responsible for all such discounts and fees payable to such underwriters in such Underwritten Offering for the Registrable Securities sold by such Selling Holder. Without the consent of a Majority in Interest of Selling Holders, no Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Agreement shall include any securities other than Registrable Securities of the type (i.e., Notes or Company Common Stock) offered by the Initiating Holder in such Underwritten Offering.

49



(d)If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any firm commitment Underwritten Offering advise the Selling Holders in writing that, in their view, the total amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering (including, without limitation, Registrable Securities proposed to be included by any Participating Holder) exceeds the largest amount (the “Orderly Sale Amount”) that can be sold in an orderly manner in such Underwritten Offering within a price range acceptable to the Majority in Interest of Selling Holders, then there shall be included in such firm commitment Underwritten Offering an amount of Registrable Securities not exceeding the Orderly Sale Amount, and such included amount of Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata among the Selling Holders on the basis of the number and type of Subject Securities then proposed to be sold by the respective Selling Holders (e.g., if Notes are being offered and sold, the pro rata amounts will be calculated based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes proposed to be sold without regard to shares of Company Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the respecting Selling Holders).
(e)If requested by the managing underwriter of an Underwritten Offering for which a member of the Silver Lake Group is the Initiating Holder, unless such Initiating Holder otherwise agrees, no Eligible Participation Holder or Initiating Holder shall offer for sale (including by short sale), grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise transfer (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement, derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of the Registrable Securities or otherwise), any Notes or Company Common Stock (or interests therein) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Notes or Company Common Stock without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter for a period designated by such managing underwriter in writing to the Eligible Participation Holders and the Initiating Holder, which shall begin the earlier of the date of the underwriting agreement and the commencement of marketing efforts, and shall not in any event last longer than sixty (60) days following such effective date. If requested by the managing underwriter of any such Underwritten Offering, each Eligible Participation Holder shall execute a separate agreement to the foregoing effect; provided, that each Eligible Participation Holder shall negotiate its respective lock-up agreement; provided, further, that if any such lock-up agreement (i) provides for exceptions from any restrictions contained therein, such exceptions shall automatically apply equally to each Selling Holder or (ii) is terminated or waived in whole or in part for any Selling Holder, such termination or waiver shall automatically apply to each other Selling Holder. Each lock-up agreement shall permit, and this Section 5.02(e) shall be deemed to permit, transfers pursuant to the terms of Permitted Loans, Permitted Debt Financing Transactions and other customary lock-up exceptions, including for gifts, distributions and other transfers not for value (and including in respect of customary charitable donations substantially contemporaneously with distribution to the donor, free of further lock-up agreement transfer restrictions by the donee, by a Selling Holder or its direct or indirect distributees). The obligations of any person under this Section 5.02(e) are not in limitation of lock-up or transfer restrictions that may otherwise apply to any Registrable Securities.
(f)In addition to the registration rights provided in Section 5.02(c), holders of the Notes shall have analogous rights to sell such securities in a marketed offering under Rule 144A under the Securities Act through one or more initial purchasers on a firm-commitment basis, using procedures that are substantially equivalent to those specified in Section 5.02 and Section 5.03. The Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cooperate to effect any such sales under such Rule 144A. Nothing in this Section 5.02(f) shall impose any additional or more burdensome obligations on the Company than would apply under Section 5.02 and Section 5.03, in each case, mutatis mutandis in respect of a registered Underwritten Offering, or require that the Company take any actions that it would not be required to take in an Underwritten Offering of such Notes.
(g)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if holders of Registrable Securities engage or propose to engage in a “distribution” (as defined in Regulation M under the Exchange Act) of Registrable Securities, such holders shall discuss the timing of such distribution with the Company reasonably prior to commencing such distribution, and (ii) such distribution must not be for less than $25,000,000 of Registrable Securities held by such holders (provided that, if collectively Purchaser and its Affiliates do not own at least $25,000,000 of Registrable Securities, they shall be permitted to engage in such distribution with respect to all of the Registrable Securities held by them).

50



(h)In connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities in which a holder of Registrable Securities is selling at least $50,000,000 of Registrable Securities, the Company shall, to be extent requested by the managing underwriter(s) of such a distribution, be subject to a restricted period of the same length of time as such holder agrees with the managing underwriter(s) (but not to exceed 60 days) during which the Company may not offer, sell or grant any option to purchase Company Common Stock (in the case of an offering of Company Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for Company Common Stock) and any debt securities (in the case of an offering of debt securities) of the Company, subject to customary carve-outs that include, but are not limited to, (i) issuances pursuant to the Company’s employee or director stock plans and issuances of shares upon the exercise of options or other equity awards under such stock plans and (ii) in connection with acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions.

Section 5.03. Registration Procedures.

(v)furnish to the Selling Holders and each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by such Selling Holders such number of conformed copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto, such number of copies of the prospectus and any prospectus supplement contained in or deemed part of such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus supplement) and each free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) (a “Free Writing Prospectus”) utilized in connection therewith and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holders;

(c)Each Selling Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clauses (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) of Section 5.03(a)(viii), such Selling Holder shall forthwith discontinue such Selling Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement and prospectus relating thereto until such Selling Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cure the events described in clauses (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) of Section 5.03(a)(viii) so that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed at the earliest reasonably practicable moment.

Section 5.04. Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with a registration pursuant to this Article V, provided that each holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering shall pay all applicable underwriting discounts and commissions, agency fees, brokers’ commissions and transfer taxes, if any, on the Registrable Securities sold by such holder, and similar charges.

Section 5.05. Registration Indemnification.

(a)The Company agrees, without limitation as to time, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling Holder or such other Indemnified Person (as defined below) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents of each such controlling Person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, in each case related to such Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 5.05(a)) will reimburse each such Selling Holder, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents and each such Person who controls each such Selling Holder and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys, advisors and agents of each such controlling Person, each such underwriter and each such Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by any information regarding a holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by any such person or any selling holder or underwriter expressly for use therein.

55



(b)In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Selling Holder is participating, without limitation as to time, each such Selling Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any omission (or alleged omission) of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 5.05(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding the Selling Holder furnished to the Company by such Selling Holder for inclusion in such Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.
(c)Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.
(d)In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, the indemnified party shall promptly notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or a conflict of interest otherwise exists or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such claim or proceeding, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (z) is settled solely for cash for which the indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure of an indemnified party to give notice to an indemnifying party of any action brought against such indemnified party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such failure adversely prejudices the indemnifying party.

56



(e)The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the sale or other transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement.
(f)If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to indemnify or contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of its net proceeds from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to any actions or proceedings over the amount of any damages, indemnity or contribution that such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

57



(g)The indemnification and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5.05 are in addition to any liability that the indemnifying party may have to the indemnified party and do not limit other provisions of this Agreement that provide for indemnification.

Section 5.06. Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. For as long as the Purchaser or its Affiliates, or any financial institution pursuant to a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction or any Lender under any Permitted Loan Beneficially Owns Notes or any Company Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion thereof, to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and submit all required Interactive Data Files (as defined in Rule 11 of Regulation S-T of the SEC), and shall use reasonable efforts to take such further necessary action as any holder of Subject Securities may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any restrictive legend on the Subject Securities being sold, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell the Subject Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

Section 6.03. Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the New Confidentiality Agreement (when executed) and the Prior Confidentiality Agreement, sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Transactions, and is not intended to and shall not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder, provided that (i) Section 4.07(h) shall be the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Covered Persons, (ii) Section 4.12 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Section 4.12 Persons and the Silver Lake Indemnitors, (iv) Section 4.22 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Indemnitees, (iv) Section 5.05 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Indemnified Persons and (v) Section 6.12 shall be for the benefit of and fully enforceable by each of the Specified Persons.

No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The Company agrees that the Prior Confidentiality Agreement will automatically terminate in all respects concurrent with the Closing; provided that no such termination shall relieve any party thereto of liability for any breach of the Prior Confidentiality Agreement that occurred prior to such termination.

Section 6.04. Counterparts.

Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

60



Section 6.05. Public Announcements. No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein shall be issued or made by the Purchaser or its Affiliates without the prior written approval of the Company, unless required by law (based on the advice of counsel) in which case the Company shall have the right to review and reasonably comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or publication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to the terms of the Prior Confidentiality Agreement or New Confidentiality Agreement, as applicable), the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be restricted from communicating with their respective investors and potential investors in connection with marketing, informational or reporting activities; provided that the recipient of such information is subject to a customary obligation to keep such information confidential. The Company may issue or make one or more press releases or public announcements (in which case the Purchaser shall have the right to review and reasonably comment on such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance, distribution or publication) and may file this Agreement with the SEC and may provide information about the subject matter of this Agreement in connection with equity or debt issuances, share repurchases, or marketing, informational or reporting activities.

Section 6.06. Expenses. From and after the date of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time, the Purchaser shall have the right to request that the Company reimburse all documented out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with their evaluation of the Company and the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement, including all expenses related to the due diligence review and the structuring, drafting, negotiating and entry into this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, up to one million two hundred thousand dollars ($1,200,000) in the aggregate, which the Company shall do promptly and in any event within three (3) Business Days of such request. As of the Closing (and without duplication with the deduction for expenses contemplated in the definition of Purchase Price), the Company shall reimburse all such fees incurred by the Purchaser and its Affiliates in connection with the foregoing to the extent not previously paid pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.06.

Section 6.07. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company’s successors and assigns and Purchaser’s successors and assigns, and no other person; provided, that neither the Company nor the Purchaser may assign its respective rights or delegate its respective obligations under this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and any assignment by the Company or the Purchaser in contravention hereof shall be null and void; provided, that (i) prior to the Closing the Purchaser may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any portion thereof to one or more Affiliates who execute and deliver a Joinder, and such Affiliate shall be deemed a Purchaser hereunder and shall have all rights and obligations of a Purchaser or any portion thereof (as set forth in the Joinder); provided that no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, (ii) any Affiliate of the Purchaser who after the Closing Date executes and delivers a Joinder and is a permitted transferee of any Notes or shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed a Purchaser hereunder and have all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser or any portion thereof (as set forth in the Joinder); provided that no such assignment will relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder, (iii) if the Company consolidates or merges with or into any Person and the Company Common Stock is, in whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for securities of a different issuer, then as a condition to such transaction the Company will cause such issuer to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in a written instrument delivered to the Purchaser, and (iv) the rights of a holder of Registrable Securities under Article V may be transferred but only together with Subject Securities (w) in a transfer of (1) Notes in an aggregate principal amount of at least $25,000,000 and (2) Company Common Stock or other Subject Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of at least $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, (x) to an Affiliate of the transferor that executes and delivers to the Company a Joinder (subject to 4.02(a)), or (y) to a lender in connection with a Permitted Loan or (z) to a financial institution in connection with a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, no Third Party to whom any of the Notes or shares of Company Common Stock are transferred shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement except (and then only to the extent of) any rights and obligations under Article V to the extent transferable in accordance with this Section 6.07. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser may without the consent of any other party grant powers of attorney, operative only upon an event of default of the Company in respect of its obligation under Article II to issue the Notes upon payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(d)), to any lender, administrative agent or collateral agent under any Permitted Loan or to any financial institution in connection with a Permitted Debt Financing Transaction, in each case to act on behalf of the Purchaser to enforce such obligation.

61



Section 6.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, solely if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 6.08(a), (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each of the parties hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 6.02 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b)EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 6.08.

62



Section 6.09. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided that the economic and legal substance of, any of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. In the event of any such determination, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement to fulfill as closely as possible the original intent and purpose hereof. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereby to the same extent waive any provision of law that renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 6.10. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, whether in law or equity) to obtain (i) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 6.11. Headings. The headings of Articles and Sections contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.

63



Section 6.12. Non-Recourse.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser’s liability for any liability, loss, damage or recovery of any kind (including special, exemplary, consequential, indirect or punitive damages or damages arising from loss of profits, business opportunities or goodwill, diminution in value or any other losses or damages, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising under or in connection with any breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith shall be no greater than an amount equal to the Purchase Price and the Purchaser shall have no further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the Transactions in excess of such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s rights under Section 6.10.
(b)This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any Person that executes and delivers a Joinder). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partners, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative of any party hereto (collectively, the “Specified Persons”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Guarantor with respect to the obligations set forth in Section 4.24).

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
So long as the Securities, or portion thereof, are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depository, unless otherwise required by law, subject to Section 2.15, such Securities may be represented by one or more Securities in global form registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository (“Global Securities”).

15



Indenture.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Depository’s custodian with respect to the Global Securities. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with the Depository in the form provided by the Depository and the Trustee and each Securities Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and the Applicable Procedures.
Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. One duly authorized Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
A Security’s validity shall not be affected by the failure of an Officer whose signature is on such Security to hold, at the time the Security is authenticated, the same office at the Company.
A Security shall not be valid until duly authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.
Upon a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000. The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed $300,000,000, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph and except for Securities authenticated and delivered in lieu of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities pursuant to Section 2.07.
The Company may not, without the consent of Holders of one hundred percent (100%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities, increase the aggregate principal amount of Securities by issuing additional Securities in the future (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer or exchange for or in lieu of other Securities pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.10, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 3.01(h) and 10.02(f)).
Upon a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities, including Securities not bearing the Security Private Placement Legend, to be issued to the transferees when sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as set forth in Section 2.16(b) or when not otherwise required under this Indenture to bear the Security Private Placement Legend.
The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent so appointed has the same rights as a Securities Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates.
If a Company Order pursuant to this Section 2.02 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, then any instructions by the Company to the Trustee with respect to endorsement, delivery or redelivery of a Security that is a Global Security shall be in writing. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

16

The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint or change one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents, subject to providing written notification to the Trustee of any such new registrar, paying agent or conversion agent, and may act in any such capacity on its own behalf. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent.
The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Securities Agent not a party to this Indenture, if any. Such agency agreement, if any, shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Securities Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Securities Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain an entity other than the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent.
Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all moneys held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds so paid by it. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all money held by it as Paying Agent; provided that the Company may not act as Paying Agent upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
Section 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA.

17



Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Subject to Section 2.15 and Section 2.16, where Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements under this Indenture for such transaction are met. To permit registrations of such transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request or upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Order therefor. The Company, the Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Security for which a Repurchase Notice has been delivered, and not withdrawn, in accordance with this Indenture, except if the Company has defaulted in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Security or to the extent that a portion of such Security is not subject to such Repurchase Notice.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, but the Company and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp, issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.07, Section 2.10, Section 3.01, Section 9.04 or Section 10.02, in each case, not involving any transfer.
(b) Exchanges of Physical Securities for Beneficial Interests in Global Securities. A Holder may request a transfer or exchange of a Physical Security for a beneficial interest in a Global Security and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Physical Securities to be eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depository, if upon such transfer or exchange such interest could be held in an Unrestricted Global Security. If and when the Company is successful in causing the Physical Securities to be eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depository a holder may transfer or exchange a Physical Security for a beneficial interest in a Global Security by (i) surrendering such Physical Security for registration of transfer or exchange, together with any endorsements or instruments of transfer required by any of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar, at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such purposes pursuant to Section 4.02; (ii) if such Physical Security is a Restricted Security, delivering any documentation required by Section 2.16; (iii) complying with Section 2.16(e), if applicable, (iv) satisfying all other requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.06 and Section 2.15; and (v) providing written instructions to the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment in its books and records with respect to the applicable Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by such Global Security, which instructions will contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase. Upon the satisfaction of conditions (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), as applicable, the Trustee will cancel such Physical Security and cause, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Physical Security, and will credit or cause to be credited the account of the Person specified in the instructions provided by the exchanging Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Physical Security. If no Global Securities are then outstanding, the Company, in accordance with Section 2.02, will promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order and in accordance with Section 2.02, will authenticate, a new Global Security in the appropriate aggregate principal amount.

18



Section 2.07. Replacement Securities. If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, at the Holder’s expense, a replacement Security upon surrender to the Trustee of the mutilated Security, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of the loss, destruction or theft of the Security satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security, if required by the Trustee or the Company, indemnity (including in the form of a bond) must be provided by the Holder that is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee or any Securities Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Security is replaced.
In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay the amounts due in respect of such Security as provided hereunder.
Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company only as provided in Section 2.08.
Section 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those converted, those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates holds the Security.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it, or a court holds, that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.
If the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Company) holds, as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any), as the case may be, with respect to all Securities to be repurchased or paid on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, in each case, payable as herein provided on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date, then (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of such aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, or of such accrued and unpaid interest), except as otherwise provided herein, on and after such date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue, and such Securities shall be deemed to be paid whether or not such Securities are delivered to the Paying Agent. Thereafter, all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate with respect to such Securities, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, as the case may be, plus, if applicable, such accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, any Securities that are not submitted by a Holder for a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 3.01 shall remain outstanding and shall be unaffected by this paragraph.

19



If a Security is converted in accordance with Article 10 then, from and after the time of such conversion on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding, and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Security unless there shall be a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration payable and/or deliverable hereunder upon such conversion (except that any such Security will remain outstanding solely for the purpose of receiving any interest or other amounts due following such conversion as set forth in this Indenture).
Section 2.09. Securities Held by the Company or an Affiliate. In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be considered to be outstanding for purposes of this Section 2.09 if the pledgee establishes, to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the pledgee’s right so to concur with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not, and is not acting at the direction or on behalf of, the Company, any other obligor on the Securities, an Affiliate of the Company or an Affiliate of any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to whether the pledgee has established the foregoing, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall provide full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Notwithstanding Section 316(a)(1) of the TIA (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not apply to this Indenture until this Indenture is qualified under the TIA) or anything herein to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no SL Securities shall be deemed to be owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for purposes of this Indenture, the Securities and any direction, waiver or consent with respect thereto.
Section 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order therefor, authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order therefor, shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, each temporary Security shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities, and such temporary Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

20



Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee shall promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 10. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary procedure for the disposal of cancelled securities.
Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If, and to the extent, the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay in cash the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent not prohibited by applicable statute or case law, interest on such defaulted interest at the rate provided in the Securities. The Company may pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest) to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix such special record date and payment date. At least fifteen (15) calendar days before the special record date, the Company shall send to Holders a notice that states the special record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid. Upon the due payment in full, interest shall no longer accrue on such defaulted interest pursuant to this Section 2.12.
Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; providedhowever, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed on the notice or on the Securities; and provided further that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and the effectiveness of any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, such CUSIP numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 2.15. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. (a) Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees, as the case may be, and (iii) bear the legends such Global Securities are required to bear under Section 2.17.
Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depository (or its nominee) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever; providedhowever, that each SL Security that is a Global Security shall be subject to the rights under Section 9.02 and Section 10.02(c) of the beneficial owners of such SL Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, any Securities Agent or any of their respective agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. In addition, one or more Physical Securities shall be transferred to each owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, as identified by the Depository, in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Securities if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for any Global Security, or the Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of such notice or cessation or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from the beneficial owner (via the Depository) of the relevant Securities to issue Physical Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, if any event described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence occurs, any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Security will be entitled to receive one or more Physical Securities in exchange for its beneficial interest or interests in the Global Securities, and if any event described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence occurs, only the beneficial owner that has made a written request to the Registrar (via the Depository) will be entitled to receive one or more Physical Securities in exchange for its beneficial interest or interests in the Global Securities. The Company may also exchange beneficial interests in a Global Security for one or more Physical Securities registered in the name of the owner of beneficial interests if the Company and the owner of such beneficial interests agree to so exchange.

22



(c) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Securities also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as, to the extent applicable, the other provisions of this Section 2.15(c) that follow:
(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Security. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Security (or a Restricted Global Security with the same CUSIP number) in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Security Private Placement Legend. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this clause (i).
(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Securities. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of a beneficial interest in a Global Security that are not addressed by Section 2.15(c)(i), there must be delivered (A) such instruction or order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant to the Depository, as may be required by the Applicable Procedures, directing the Depository to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (B) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Security contained in this Indenture, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the Global Securities pursuant to Section 2.15(d).
(iii) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Security for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Security. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Security may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of this Section 2.15(c) and the Registrar receives the following:
(A) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, a certificate from such Holder substantially in the form of Exhibit E; or
(B) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit D;

23



and, in each such case set forth in this clause (iii), if the Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that no registration under the Securities Act is required in connection with such exchange or transfer of beneficial interests to the relevant Person or in connection with any re-sales of the beneficial interests in the Unrestricted Global Security that are beneficially owned by such Person on the date of such opinion.
Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Security cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security.
(iv) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in one Restricted Global Security for Beneficial Interests in another Restricted Global Security. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Security may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security with a different CUSIP or different legends or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security with a different CUSIP or different legends if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of this Section 2.15(c) and the Registrar receives the following:
(A) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security with a different CUSIP or different legends, a certificate from such Holder substantially in the form of Exhibit E; or
(B) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security with a different CUSIP or different legends, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit D.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary provided herein, a holder of a beneficial interest in a Security that is not an SL Security may not exchange or transfer such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an SL Security.
(d) At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have been exchanged for Physical Securities or a particular Global Security has been repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Physical Securities, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depository at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depository at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

24



(e) In connection with the transfer of a Global Security in its entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.15(b), such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon written instructions from the Company authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.
(f) Any Physical Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.15(b), shall bear the same legend(s), if any, from Exhibit B-1A that are borne by the relevant Global Security, except to the extent the requirements of Section 2.15(c)(iii) or Section 2.15(c)(iv) are satisfied with respect to the removal or addition of any legend, mutatis mutandis for the fact that a Physical Security is being issued rather than a beneficial interest in a Global Security.
(g) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.
(h) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on the transfer of any interest in any Securities imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law (including any transfers between or among Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) 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.
(i) Neither the Trustee nor any Securities Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.
(j) No service charge shall be made to or by a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or to or by a Holder of a Physical Security for any registration of transfer or exchange.
(k) All Global Securities and Physical Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Securities or Physical Securities shall evidence the same debt of the Company and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Securities or Physical Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(l) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Security, the Trustee and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Securities and, subject to Section 2.09, for all other purposes, and neither of the Trustee or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

25



(m) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.
(n) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Securities or Physical Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and send, the replacement Global Securities and Physical Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(o) Neither the Trustee nor any Securities Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in the Global Securities, an agent member of, or a participant in, the Depository or other person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominees or of any Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Global Securities or with respect to the delivery to any Participant, agent member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Securities (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Securities. The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Securities shall be exercised only through the Depository, subject to its applicable rules and procedures. The Trustee and each agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its agent members, Participants and any beneficial owners.
Section 2.16. Special Transfer Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, but except as provided in Section 2.15(b), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
(b) Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the Security Private Placement Legend, unless the Company notifies the Trustee in writing otherwise, the Trustee shall deliver Securities that do not bear the Security Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the Security Private Placement Legend, the Trustee shall deliver only Securities that bear the Security Private Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer, exchange or replacement is after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Company an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and addressed to the Company to the effect that no registration under the Securities Act is required in connection with such transfer, exchange or replacement of such Securities in connection with any re-sales of such Securities on the date of such opinion or (iii) such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Holder selling such Securities has delivered to the Registrar a notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 or this Section 2.16 in accordance with its customary document retention policies. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.
(d) The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, purchase the Securities in the open market or by tender offer at any price or by private agreement without giving prior notice to Holders. The Company may, at its option, surrender to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities the Company purchases in this manner. Securities surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and shall be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 2.11.
(e) Any Physical Securities that are purchased or owned by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any other Affiliate of the Company or its Subsidiaries may not be resold by the Company, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate in a transaction in which the transferee takes its interest in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security 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 Securities no longer being Restricted Securities.

No transfer of any Security prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Registrar unless the applicable box has been checked on the Form of Assignment attached as Attachment 1 to the Form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Any Security (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Security for exchange to the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Article 2, be exchanged for a new Security or Securities, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Security Private Placement Legend required by this Section 2.17(a) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. In addition, on and after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, upon the request of any Holder and upon surrender of its Security for

27



exchange, the Company shall exchange a Physical Security with the Security Private Placement Legend for a Physical Security without Security Private Placement Legend so long as the Holder covenants to the Company that it will offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer such Security in compliance with the Securities Act. The Company shall be entitled to instruct the Trustee in writing to cancel any Global Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms for exchange, and, upon such instruction, the Trustee shall provide evidence of cancellation of such Global Security; and any new Global Security exchanged therefor shall not bear the Security Private Placement Legend specified in this Section 2.17(a) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number.

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, or fail to cause to be maintained, any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
The Company will maintain, or cause to be maintained, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture (other than the type contemplated by Section 13.09(c)) may be served, provided that such office or agency may instead be at the principal office of the Company located in the United States (and, notwithstanding the final sentence of this Section 4.02, shall initially be at such office until the Company notifies the Trustee otherwise).
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as an agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.
Section 4.03. Annual Reports. (a) The Company shall provide to the Trustee a copy of each report the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act no later than the date 15 Business Days after such report is required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (after giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act); providedhowever, that each such report will be deemed to be so provided to the Trustee if the Company files such report with the SEC through the SEC’s EDGAR database no later than the time such report is required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (taking into account any applicable grace periods provided thereunder). To the extent the TIA then applies to this Indenture, the Company shall comply with TIA § 314(a).
(b) In addition, while the Securities remain outstanding and are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Company will, during any period in which the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, furnish to holders of the Securities and prospective investors, upon request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities Act.
(c) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).
(d) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to determine or monitor whether the Company has delivered reports in accordance with this Section 4.03.
(e) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the last date of original issuance of the Securities and ending on the one-year anniversary of the last original issuance date of the Securities, the Company fails to timely file any periodic report that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (other than current reports on Form 8-K), and the Company does not cure such failure to file within 14 calendar days, the Company shall pay interest (the “Additional Interest”) on the Securities, accruing from the due date of the first missed filing that gives rise to such obligation and continuing until the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of the last original issuance date of the Securities and (ii) the date on which the Company corrects its failure to file such reports. During the first 90 days on which such Additional Interest is payable, such Additional Interest shall accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum; thereafter, such Additional Interest shall accrue at a rate of 0.50% per annum.

34



(f) In addition, if any Securities (other than Securities held by an “affiliate” of the Company as defined in Rule 144, or acquired from such an affiliate less than one year earlier than the date of determination (giving effect to any applicable tacking under Rule 144(d))) or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Securities (other than Securities held by an “affiliate” of the Company as defined in Rule 144, or acquired from such an affiliate less than one year earlier than the date of determination (giving effect to any applicable tacking under Rule 144(d))) are Restricted Securities on or at any time after the one-year anniversary of the last original issuance date of such Securities (or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day), the Company will pay Additional Interest on such Securities accruing from the one-year anniversary of the last original issuance date of such Securities and until the date on which such Securities and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Securities cease to be Restricted Securities. During the first 90 days on which such Additional Interest is payable, such Additional Interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum; thereafter, such Additional Interest will accrue at a rate of 0.50% per annum.
(g) Notwithstanding anything else in this Indenture, in no event will (i) the combined rate of any Additional Interest payable under this Section 4.03 and of any Special Interest payable under Section 6.01(j) exceed 0.50% per annum; or (ii) Additional Interest accrue on any day in which (A) (1) the Company has filed a shelf registration statement for the resale of the Securities, (2) such shelf registration statement is effective and usable by Holders for the resale of the Securities, and (3) the Holders may register the resale of their Securities under such shelf registration statement on terms customary for the resale of convertible securities offered in reliance on Rule 144A; or (B) in which conditions (A)(1) through (A)(3) of this sentence have been satisfied for a period of two years.
(h) Whenever Additional Interest is accruing on a Record Date, the Company will pay all accrued and unpaid Additional Interest to the Holders of record on such Record Date on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. If Additional Interest is not accruing on a Record Date, but has accrued since the immediately preceding Record Date, the Company shall pay any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to the latter Record Date to Holders of record on the latter Record Date.
If the Company is required to pay Additional Interest or Special Interest to Holders, the Company shall provide a direction or order in the form of a written notice to the Trustee (and if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, to the Paying Agent) of the Company’s obligation to pay such Additional Interest or Special Interest no later than three Business Days prior to the date on which any such Additional Interest or Special Interest is scheduled to be paid. Such notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest or Special Interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date and direct the Trustee (or, if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, to the Paying Agent) to make payment to the extent it receives funds from the Company to do so. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether the Additional Interest or Special Interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of the Additional Interest or Special Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest or Special Interest.

35



Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, a certificate from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company stating that such officer has conducted or supervised a review of the activities of the Company and its performance of obligations under this Indenture and the Securities and that, based upon such review, no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder or thereunder or, if a Default or Event of Default then exists, specifying such event, status and the remedial action proposed to be taken by the Company with respect to such Default or Event of Default.
Section 4.05. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
Section 4.06. Notice of Default. Within 30 days of the Company’s becoming aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of such Default or Event of Default, and any remedial action proposed to be taken.
Section 4.07. Limitation on the Incurrence of Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness unless (a) the Consolidated Total Debt Ratio for the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date on which such Indebtedness is incurred would have been equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00 and (b) the Consolidated Net Debt Ratio for the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date on which such Indebtedness is incurred would have been equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00, in each case, determined on a pro forma basis giving effect to such incurrence and the application of the proceeds thereof; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.07 shall prohibit the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken together, from incurring Indebtedness in respect of purchase money indebtedness not to exceed in the aggregate $10.0 million at any one time outstanding.
ARTICLE 5
SUCCESSORS
Section 5.01. When Company May Merge, Etc. Subject to Section 5.02, the Company shall not consolidate with, or merge with or into, or sell, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the consolidated property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (other than one or more Subsidiaries of the Company (it being understood that this Article 5 shall not apply to a sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of property or assets between or among the Company and its

36



Subsidiaries)), whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, unless (i)(x) the Company is the continuing Person or (y) such other Person is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, such other Person assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture and following such transaction or series of related transactions the Reference Property does not include interests in an entity that is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture.
For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to another Person other than the Company or one or more other Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties or assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the consolidated properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be deemed to be the sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated properties or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person.
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee substantially concurrently with or prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which may rely upon such Officers’ Certificate as to the absence of Defaults and Events of Default and other statements of fact) stating that the proposed transaction and, if required, such supplemental indenture (if any) will, upon consummation of the proposed transaction, comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.
Section 5.02. Successor Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger or any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Securities, the due and punctual payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to all Securities repurchased on each Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Securities and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture and the Securities to be performed by the Company, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Securities that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this

37



Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger or any sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 5, the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 5, except in the case of a lease, shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Securities and its obligations under this Indenture shall terminate.
In case of any such consolidation, merger or any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.
ARTICLE 6
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:
(a) the Company fails to pay the principal of any Security when due, whether on the Maturity Date, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to a Fundamental Change, upon acceleration or otherwise;
(b) the Company fails to pay an installment of interest on any Security when due, if the failure continues for thirty (30) days after the date when due;
(c) the Company fails to satisfy its conversion obligations upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion rights pursuant hereto;
(d) the Company fails to (i) comply with its obligations under Article 5 or (ii) issue a Fundamental Change Notice in accordance with Section 3.01(b) when due;
(e) the Company fails to comply with any other term, covenant or agreement set forth in the Securities or this Indenture and such failure continues for the period, and after the notice, specified in the last paragraph of this Section 6.01;
(f) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company fails to pay when due (whether at stated maturity or otherwise), after the expiration of any applicable grace period, the principal or interest on indebtedness for borrowed money, where the amount of such unpaid principal and/or interest is in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent), or a default occurs that results in the acceleration of maturity, of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company in an aggregate amount in excess of $50,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent), and such failure or default continues for thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure or default is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding;

38



(g) a final judgment for the payment in excess of $50,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) (excluding any amounts covered by insurance or subject to a binding indemnity from a financially responsible third party with resources sufficient to pay such indemnity obligation when due) is rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, which judgment is not discharged or stayed within thirty (30) days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;
(h) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, pursuant to, or within the meaning of, any Bankruptcy Law, insolvency law, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise, either:
(i) commences a voluntary case,
(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,
(iii) consents to the appointment of a Bankruptcy Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or
(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
(i) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or adjudicates the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries insolvent or bankrupt,
(ii) appoints a Bankruptcy Custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries for any substantial part of the Company’s or any of its Significant Subsidiaries’ property, as the case may be, or
(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries,
and, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.01(i), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least sixty (60) consecutive days.
A Default under clause (e) above shall not be an Event of Default until (A) the Trustee notifies the Company in writing, or the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee in writing, of the Default and (B) the Default is not cured within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” If the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities request the Trustee to give such notice on their behalf, the Trustee shall do so. When a Default is cured, it ceases to exist for all purposes under this Indenture.

39



(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, at the election of the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) relating to the failure by the Company to comply with Section 4.03(a) (the “Company’s Filing Obligations”), shall consist exclusively of the right to receive interest (the “Special Interest”) on the Securities. (i) For the first 180 days of the 270-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs, the Special Interest will accrue at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum, and (ii) for the last 90 days of such 270-day period as long as such Event of Default is continuing, the Special Interest will accrue at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. The Special Interest will be in addition to any Additional Interest that the Company is required to pay under Section 4.03 and will be payable in the same manner as Additional Interest; providedhowever, that in no event will the combined rate of the Special Interest and any Additional Interest due under Section 4.03 exceed 0.50% per annum. This Special Interest, as applicable, will accrue on the Securities from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the Company’s Filing Obligations first occurs to and including the 270th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to such obligations shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.04). On such 271st day (or, if such Event of Default is cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.04 prior to such 271st day, on the date such Event of Default is so cured or waived), such Special Interest will cease to accrue and, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.04 prior to such 271st day, then the Trustee or the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may declare one hundred percent (100%) of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Securities to be immediately due and payable. This provision shall not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. If the Company elects to pay the Special Interest as the sole remedy for an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) relating to the failure by the Company to comply with the Company’s Filing Obligations, the Company shall notify, in the manner provided for in Section 13.01, the Holders, the Paying Agent and the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the Close of Business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs (which notice shall include a statement as to the date from which Special Interest is payable). Upon the Company’s failure to give such notice, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. If the Special Interest has been paid by the Company directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) Subject to Section 6.02(b), if applicable, if an Event of Default (excluding an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) with respect to the Company) has occurred and is continuing, either the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare one hundred percent (100%) of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities to be immediately due and payable in full. Upon such declaration, the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) occurs with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to one or more of its Significant Subsidiaries), one hundred percent (100%) of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities

40



shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind or annul an acceleration and its consequences if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) all existing Events of Default, except the nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived (or are waived concurrently with such rescission or annulment) and (iii) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06 have been paid. Upon any such rescission or annulment, the Events of Default that were the subject of such acceleration shall cease to exist and deemed to have been cured for every purpose.
Section 6.03. Other Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of amounts due with respect to the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative.
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 Securities, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Securities 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 hereto or any rescission and annulment pursuant hereto 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 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.07 and Section 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may on behalf of all Holders of Securities, by written notice to the Trustee, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, other than a Default or Event of Default (a) in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Security, or in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, (b) arising from a failure by the Company to convert any Securities in accordance with this Indenture or (c) in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities which, under Section 9.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected, if:

41



(i) all existing Defaults or Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and interest on the Securities that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and
(ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
When a Default or an Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases to exist for all purposes under this Indenture, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any rights of Holders or the Trustee related thereto.
Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to the Securities. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.
Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except with respect to any proceeding instituted in accordance with Section 6.07, a Holder shall not have any right 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 or a trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture unless:
(a) such Holder previously shall have given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding shall have made a written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(c) such Holder or Holders shall have offered and if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to or of the Trustee in connection with pursuing such remedy; and
(d) the Trustee shall have failed to comply with the request for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, and during such sixty (60) day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another 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 Holders). A Holder shall have the right to not enforce any right under this Indenture except in the manner herein.

42



Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of all amounts (including any principal, interest or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) due with respect to the Securities, on or after the respective due dates as provided herein, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive consideration due upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with Article 10, or to bring suit for the enforcement of such right, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount due with respect to the Securities, including any unpaid and accrued interest.
Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or its creditors or properties.
The Trustee may collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06.
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 the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order
 
 
 
First:
  
to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.06;
 
 
Second:
  
to Holders for all amounts due and unpaid on the Securities, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities; and
 
 
Third:
  
the balance, if any, to the Company.
The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment by it to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least fifteen (15) days before each such record date, the Trustee shall send to each Holder and the Company a written notice that states such record date and payment date and the amount of such payment.

43



Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit other than the Trustee of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by a Holder or group of Holders of more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities.
ARTICLE 7
TRUSTEE
Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided that the Trustee’s action does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

45

Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Article 4 (other than Section 4.04 and 4.06) is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely on Officers’ Certificates).
(h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested by this Indenture at the request or demand of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or demand.
(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each Securities Agent, agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(k) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee or any Securities Agent be liable under or in connection with this Indenture and the Securities for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee or such Securities Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.
(l) No bond or surety shall be required of the Trustee with respect to performance of the Trustee’s duties and powers hereunder.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights the Trustee would have if it were not Trustee. Any Securities Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, must comply with Section 7.09.

46



Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities; the Trustee shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities; and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.
Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing as to which the Trustee is deemed to have knowledge in accordance with Section 7.02(g), then the Trustee shall send to each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice or after acquiring such knowledge, as applicable, unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived; providedhowever, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment or delivery of any amounts due (including principal, interest, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the consideration due upon conversion) with respect to any Security, the Trustee may withhold such notice if, and so long as it in good faith determines that, withholding such notice is in the best interests of Holders.
Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services hereunder as shall be mutually agreed upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it pursuant to, and in accordance with, any provision hereof, except for any such expenses as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Trustee shall provide the Company with reasonable notice of any expense not in the ordinary course of business.
The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and taxes other than those based upon the income of the Trustee) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, the performance of its duties and/or the exercise of its rights hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 7.06, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers and duties hereunder. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnification; provided that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 7.06. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct.
To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay amounts due on particular Securities.

47



The indemnity obligations of the Company with respect to the Trustee provided for in this Section 7.06 shall survive any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any termination of this Indenture.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or Section 6.01(i) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
Section 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall continue its role until the appointment of a successor Trustee is effective.
The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing thirty (30) days prior to such resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if:
(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09;
(b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;
(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee so that no vacancy exists in the role of Trustee.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense), the Company or the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09, the Company or any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06.

48



Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder.
Section 7.09. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that (a) is an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (b) is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and (c) has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

To the extent the TIA then applies to the Indenture, the Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). To the extent the TIA then applies to the Indenture, a Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to § 311(a) to the extent indicated.
Section 7.11. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after each December 31, beginning with December 31, 2017, the Trustee shall send to all Holders of the Securities, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of January 31 of such year, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also send all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). A copy of each report at the time of its delivery to the Holders of Securities shall be delivered to the Company and each stock exchange on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange or any delisting thereof.

Section 8.02. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust all money deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01 and shall apply such deposited money through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of amounts due on the Securities.
Section 8.03. Repayment to Company. Subject to applicable escheatment laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of, and pay to the Company upon the written request of the Company, any excess money held by them at any time.

Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon the written request of the Company any money held by them for the payment of the principal of, or any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Securities that remains unclaimed for two (2) years. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, subject to applicable law, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money and payment shall, subject to applicable law, cease.
Section 8.04. Reinstatement. If any money, Common Stock or other consideration cannot be applied in accordance with Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit or delivery had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.01 and Section 8.02; providedhowever, that if the Company has made any payment of amounts due with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, then the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money, Common Stock or other consideration held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 9

(i) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture and any supplemental indenture under the TIA.
In addition, the Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture without the consent of Holders of the Securities to cure any ambiguity, defect, omission or inconsistency in this Indenture in a manner that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder.
Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.
Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, the Company may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities (including, without limitation, consents obtained from Holders in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, Securities) and in compliance with Section 4.19 of the Investment Agreement. Subject to Section 6.04, Section 6.07, the immediately succeeding paragraph and Section 4.19 of the Investment Agreement, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may, by written notice to the Trustee, waive by consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained from Holders in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, Securities) compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

51



(a) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or the payment date of any installment of interest on, any Security;
(b) reduce the principal amount of any Security, or any interest on, any Security;
(c) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or any interest on, any Security;
(d) impair the right of any Holder to receive any payment on, or with respect to, or any delivery or payment due upon the conversion of, any Security or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any delivery or payment on, or with respect to, or due upon the conversion of, any Security;

(f) reduce the Conversion Rate other than as provided under this Indenture or adversely affect the right of Holders to convert Securities in accordance with Article 10;

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, so long as any SL Securities are outstanding, without the consent of the Holders of one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of the SL Securities, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not modify any provision contained in this Indenture specifically and uniquely applicable to the SL Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders of, or the holders of a beneficial interest in, the SL Securities.
Promptly after an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.01 or this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to send such notice shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

52



Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective (or until such earlier date as specified by the Company in connection with the solicitation of such consent), a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective (or such earlier date specified by the Company in connection with the solicitation of such consent).
After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities, it shall bind every Holder unless such amendment, supplement or waiver makes a change that requires, pursuant to Section 9.02, the consent of each Holder affected. In that case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. Any amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture to this Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect, if the TIA is applicable to this Indenture.
Nothing in this Section 9.03 shall impair the Company’s rights pursuant to Section 9.01 to amend this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any Holder in the manner set forth in, and permitted by, such Section 9.01.
Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security as directed and prepared by the Company about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.
Section 9.05. Trustee Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9; providedhowever, that the Trustee need not sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 that adversely affects the Trustee’s rights, duties, liabilities or immunities. The Trustee shall receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel as to legal matters and an Officers’ Certificate as to factual matters that any supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver is permitted or authorized pursuant to this Indenture and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).
Section 9.06. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the due execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture in accordance with this Article 9, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes, and, except as set forth in Section 9.02 and Section 9.03, every Holder of Securities shall be bound thereby.

ARTICLE 10
CONVERSION
Section 10.01. Conversion Privilege. (a) Subject to the limitations of this Section 10.01, Section 10.02, Section 10.11 and the settlement provisions of Section 10.14(c), and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 10, each Holder of a Security shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or a multiple thereof) of such Security at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at the then applicable Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Securities (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 10.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).
(b) To convert its Security, a Holder of a Physical Security must (i) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice, or a facsimile thereof, with appropriate notarization or signature guarantee, and deliver the completed Conversion Notice or a facsimile thereof to the Conversion Agent, (ii) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (iii) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent, (iv) pay all transfer or similar taxes if required pursuant to Section 10.04 and (v) pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date if so required by Section 10.02(d). If a Holder holds a beneficial interest in a Global Security, to convert such Security, the Holder must comply with clauses (iv) and (v) above and the Depository’s procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Security.
(c) A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of a Security if such portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of such Security.
Section 10.02. Conversion Procedure and Payment Upon Conversion.
(a) Subject to this Section 10.02 and Section 10.11 and the settlement provisions of Section 10.14(c), upon conversion of any Security, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 10.03, as set forth in this Section 10.02.
(i) Upon conversion of a Holder’s Security, the Company shall deliver to such converting Holder, through the Conversion Agent, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) (A) the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be converted, divided by (B) $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect on the applicable Conversion Date (provided that the Company shall deliver cash in lieu of fractional shares as described in Section 10.03). Settlement shall occur on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, unless such Conversion Date occurs on or following June 15, 2021, in which case settlement shall occur on the Maturity Date.

54



(b) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any Securities surrendered for conversion at the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date; providedhowever, that the Person in whose name any shares of the Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date. Prior to such time, a Holder receiving Common Stock upon conversion shall not be entitled to any rights relating to such Common Stock, including, among other things, the right to vote and receive dividends and notices of shareholder meetings. The Company will determine the Conversion Date in accordance with the requirements set forth herein and notify the Trustee of the same.
(c) In the case of any conversion of Securities other than the SL Securities, the Company shall deliver and, if applicable, pay the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. In the case of any conversion of SL Securities, the Company shall deliver and, if applicable, pay the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date unless otherwise specified in the written notice referred to in the proviso below; providedhowever, that the shares of Common Stock due in respect of the Conversion Obligation shall be delivered on the day specified in a written notice from the owner(s) (or in the case of Global Securities, beneficial owner(s)) of the SL Securities being converted that is delivered to the Company on or prior to the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, which delivery date (in respect of such shares of Common Stock) shall be no earlier than the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date and be no later than the seventh Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (it being understood that if no such notice is delivered to the Company, then the Company shall deliver such shares on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date). In the case of a conversion of an SL Security in the form of a Global Security, such written notice shall include a certification therein that the beneficial owners delivering such written notice are holders that hold beneficial interests in the SL Securities subject to conversion. The Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee(s) or transferee(s), certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depository for the full amount of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.
(d) Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 10.02(d), no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Security, and accrued interest, if any, will be deemed to be paid by the consideration paid to the Holder upon conversion. Such accrued interest, if any, shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. 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 Security and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion after the Close of Business on the Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest but prior to the Open of Business on the next Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the full amount of interest payable with respect to such Security on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Security at the Close of Business on such Record Date; providedhowever, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be

55



accompanied by payment in cash to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal to the full amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the Security so converted; provided furtherhowever, that such payment to the Conversion Agent described in the immediately preceding proviso in respect of a Security surrendered for conversion shall not be required with respect to a Security that (i) is surrendered for conversion after the Close of Business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, or (ii) is surrendered for conversion after the Close of Business on a Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and on or prior to the Open of Business on the related Interest Payment Date, where, pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company has specified, with respect to a Fundamental Change, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Record Date but on or prior to such Interest Payment Date.
(e) If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Securities shall be based on the total principal amount of all Securities so converted.
(f) Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.
Section 10.03. Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of a Security. Instead, the Company shall pay to converting Holders cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion Date. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby so surrendered, and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.
Section 10.04. Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder converts its Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue, if any, of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Company may refuse to deliver the certificate(s) representing the Common Stock being issued or delivered to the Holder or in a name other than such Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duty which will be due because shares of Common Stock are to be issued or delivered in a name other than such Holder’s name.
Section 10.05. Company to Provide Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Securities, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient for the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Common Stock at any time (assuming, for such purposes, that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Securities would be converted by a single Holder). The Company shall, from time to time and in accordance with Delaware law, cause the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to be increased if the aggregate of the number of authorized shares of Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient for the conversion of all outstanding (and issuable as set forth above) Securities into shares of Common Stock at any time.

56



All Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim that arises from the action or inaction of the Company.
The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list such shares on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed on the applicable Conversion Date.
Section 10.06. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events on or after the date of this Indenture:
(a) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, and the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, in the following formula:
 formula.jpg
where, 
 
 
 
 
 
CR0
 
=
 
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution;
 
 
 
CR’
 
=
 
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
 
 
OS0
 
=
 
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; and
 
 
 
OS’
 
=
 
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution.
In case the Company shall effect a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be proportionally increased, in the case of a share split, and proportionally reduced, in the case of a share combination, as expressed in the following formula:
 
formula.jpg

57



where,
CR0
 
=
 
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination;
 
 
 
CR’

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination;
 
 
 
OS0
 
=
 
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination; and
 
 
 
OS’
 
=
 
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such share split or share combination.
Any adjustment made under this Section 10.06(a) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex 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 the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or any share split or share combination of the type described in this Section 10.06(a) is announced but the shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, then the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or not to split or combine the shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or such share split or combination had not been announced.
(b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period expiring not more than forty-five (45) days immediately following the date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
 
formula2.jpg

where,
CR0
 
=
 
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution;
 
 
 
CR’
 
=
 
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex Date;

58



OS0
 
=
 
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex Date;
 
 
 
X
 
=
 
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
 
 
 
Y
 
=
 
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution.
Any increase made under this Section 10.06(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 Date for such distribution. To the extent that Common Stock is not delivered after expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, 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, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex Date for such distribution had not occurred.
In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such 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 Board of Directors. Except in the case of a readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Conversion Rate shall not be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.06(b).
(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other of its assets, securities or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, but excluding (i) dividends or distributions as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 10.06(a) or Section 10.06(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 10.06(d), (iii) distributions of Reference Property in a transaction described in Section 10.11, (iv) rights issued pursuant to a rights plan of the Company (i.e., a poison pill), except to the extent provided by Section 10.13, and (v) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth in the latter portion of this Section 10.06(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness or other assets, securities or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

59





formula3.jpg
where,
CR0
 
=
 
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution;
 
 
 
CR’
 
=
 
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution;
 
 
 
SP0
 
=
 
the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and
 
 
 
FMV
 
=
 
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property distributable with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution.
If the Board of Directors determines “FMV” for purposes of this Section 10.06(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, provision shall be made for each Holder of a Security to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as the holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex Date for such distribution.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 10.06(c) above shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.06(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

60




formula4.jpg
where,
CR0
 
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for the Spin-Off;
 
 
 
CR’
 
=
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for the Spin-Off;

 
 
 
FMV0
 
=
the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for a Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
 
 
 
MP0
 
=
the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be determined on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such Spin-Off. For purposes of determining the Conversion Rate in respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Ex Date for such Spin-Off, references within the portion of this Section 10.06(c) related to “Spin-Offs” to ten (10) consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex Date for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date.
Subject in all respects to Section 10.13, rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling the holders thereof 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 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 10.06(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 10.06(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 10.06(c), as the case may be. 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

61



of distribution and Ex Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants 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 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 10.06(c), as the case may be, was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase 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 repurchase, 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 or warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 10.06(a), Section 10.06(b) and this Section 10.06(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.06(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:
(A) a dividend or distribution of Common Stock to which Section 10.06(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or
(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 10.06(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),
then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.06(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 10.06(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 10.06(a) and Section 10.06(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Board of Directors, the Ex Date of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex Date of the Clause C Distribution and any 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 the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution” or “outstanding immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination,” as the case may be within the meaning of Section 10.06(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 10.06(b).
Except in the case of a readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to the last sentence of either the fourth or seventh paragraph of this Section 10.06(c), the Conversion Rate shall not be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.06(c).

62




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

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP0
 
=
 
the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution (or, if the Company declares such dividend or distribution less than eleven (11) Trading Days prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution the reference to ten (10) consecutive Trading Days shall be replaced with a smaller number of consecutive Trading Days that shall have occurred after, and not including, such declaration date and prior to, but not including, the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution); and
 
 
 
C
 
=
 
the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock.

Any adjustment made under this Section 10.06(d) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, provision shall be made for each Holder of a Security to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount of cash such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex Date for such cash 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 pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
Except in the case of a readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Conversion Rate shall not be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.06(d).
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (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:

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

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

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

SP’

the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (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 10.06(e) shall occur at the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately following, but excluding, the date that any such tender or exchange offer expires, references in this Section 10.06(e) to ten (10) consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the relevant Conversion Date. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase the Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer 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 immediately decreased to the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

64



Except in the case of a readjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Conversion Rate shall not be decreased pursuant to this Section 10.06(e).
(f) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and the rules of the Relevant Stock Exchange, the Company may, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty-five (25) Trading Days or any longer period as may be permitted or required by law, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company. Such Conversion Rate increase shall be irrevocable during such period. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such increase, which notice will include the amount of the increase and the period during which the increase shall be in effect, to be sent to each Holder of Securities in accordance with Section 13.01, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such increase commences.
(g) All calculations under this Article 10 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th.
(h) Notwithstanding this Section 10.06 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex Date, and a Holder that has converted its Securities on or after such Ex Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of the Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 10.02(b) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 10.06, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex 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 Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.
(i) For purposes of this Section 10.06, “effective date” means the first date on which the Common Stock trade on the Relevant Stock Exchange, regular way, reflecting the relevant share split or share combination, as applicable.
(j) For purposes of this Section 10.06, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend or distribution on shares of Capital Stock of the Company held in the treasury of the Company to the extent such dividend or distribution would be made in an amount based on the amount of a dividend or distribution paid on the Common Stock.

65



Section 10.07. No Adjustment. The Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for any transaction or event other than for any transaction or event described in this Article 10. Without limiting the foregoing, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:
(i) upon the issuance of any 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;
(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such options or other rights);
(iii) upon the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) above and outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued;
(iv) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any;
(v) repurchases of Common Stock that are not tender offers or exchange offers pursuant to Section 10.06(e), including structured or derivative transactions such as accelerated share repurchase transactions or similar forward derivatives;
(vi) solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(vii) for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or the right to purchase Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, except as described in Section 10.06.
No adjustment in the Conversion Rate less than one percent (1%) of the Conversion Rate as last adjusted (or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Rate) shall be made pursuant to Section 10.06(a) through Section 10.06(e); providedhowever, that (i) the Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are not made as a result of the foregoing and make such carried forward adjustments with respect to the Conversion Rate when the cumulative effect of all adjustments not yet made will result in a change of one percent (1%) or more of the Conversion Rate as last adjusted (or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Rate) and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, all such deferred adjustments that have not yet been made shall be made (including any adjustments that are less than one percent (1%) of the Conversion Rate as last adjusted (or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Rate)) (1) on the effective date of any Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (2) on the Conversion Date.
No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made pursuant to Section 10.06 for a transaction (other than for share splits or share combinations pursuant to Section 10.06(a)) if the Company makes provision for each Holder to participate in the transaction, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock participate in such transaction, without conversion, as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex Date or effective date, as applicable, of the transaction (without giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to Section 10.06 on account of such transaction), multiplied by principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holder.

66



Section 10.08. Other Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the computation of an average of the Closing Sale Prices or the Daily VWAPs over a period of multiple Trading Days (including the period for determining the Applicable Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Board of Directors, in its good faith determination, shall appropriately adjust such average to account for any event requiring, pursuant hereto, an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the effective date, Ex Date or expiration date of such event occurs at any time on or after the first Trading Day of such period and on or prior to the last Trading Day of such period.
Section 10.09. Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Except as prohibited by law, the Company may (but is not obligated to) make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 10.06 hereof, as it considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of Common Stock (or rights to purchase Common Stock) resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.
Section 10.10. Notice of Adjustment and Certain Events. (a) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate describing in reasonable detail the adjustment and the method of calculation used and the Company shall promptly send to the Holders in accordance with Section 13.01 a notice of the adjustment setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the calculation thereof. The certificate and notice shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. In the absence of an Officers’ Certificate being filed with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee), the Trustee may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.
(b) In case of any:
(i) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 10.06 or Section 10.13;
(ii) Merger Event; or
(iii) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then the Company shall at least ten days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction or event cause written notice thereof to be sent to the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with Section 13.01. Such notice shall also specify, as applicable, the date or expected date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to a distribution and the date or expected date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. 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, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 10.11. Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, Binding Share Exchanges or Sales on Conversion Privilege. If on or after the date of this Indenture the Company:
(a) reclassifies the Common Stock (other than a change as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Stock to which Section 10.06(a) applies);
(b) is party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange; or
(c) sells, transfers, leases, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the consolidated property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
in each case, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property (any such event, a “Merger Event”), each $1,000 principal amount of converted Securities will, from and after the effective time of such Merger Event, be convertible into the same kind, type and proportions of consideration that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such Merger Event would have received in such Merger Event (“Reference Property”) and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 9.01(a) providing for such change in the right to convert the Securities; providedhowever, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (A) any amount payable in cash for fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with Section 10.03 shall continue to be payable in cash, (B) any Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with Section 10.02 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 Merger Event and (C) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on a unit of Reference Property.
If the Merger 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 whole or in part upon any form of stockholder election, then (i) the Reference Property into which the Securities will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination is made. If the holders receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Merger Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased pursuant to Section 10.14), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.


68



The supplemental indenture referred to in the first sentence of this Section 10.11 shall provide for adjustments to the Conversion Rate that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article 10 and for the delivery of cash by the Company in lieu of fractional securities or property that would otherwise be deliverable to holders upon conversion as part of the Reference Property, with such amount of cash determined by the Board of Directors in a manner as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to that used by the Company to determine the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock. The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with the foregoing. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the conversion rights set forth in this Article 10. The provisions of this Section 10.11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.
None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to convert its Securities into Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share) as set forth in Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture in accordance with this Section 10.11, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of Reference Property receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such Merger Event and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.
Section 10.12. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall have no duty to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require that any adjustment under this Article 10 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any other Conversion Agent makes any representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and neither the Trustee nor any other Conversion Agent shall be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article 10 or to monitor any Person’s compliance with this Article 10.
The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 10.11, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof.

69



Section 10.13. Rights Distributions Pursuant to Shareholders’ Rights Plans. To the extent that on or after the date of this Indenture the Company adopts a rights plan (i.e., a poison pill) and such plan is in effect upon conversion of any Security or a portion thereof, the Company shall make provision such that each Holder thereof shall receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Common Stock due upon conversion, the rights described in such plan, unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock before the time of conversion, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock, Distributed Property as described in Section 10.06(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 10.14. Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Securities Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Conversion Rate applicable to each Security that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with this Article 10, at any time during the period (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”) from, and including, the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (which Effective Date the Company shall disclose in the written notice referred to in Section 10.14(e)) (A) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, to, and including, the Close of Business on the date that is thirty (30) Business Days after the later of (i) such Effective Date and (ii) the date the Company sends to Holders the relevant notice of the Effective Date or (B) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change also constitutes a Fundamental Change, to, and including, the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Fundamental Change (provided that the Repurchase Notice has not been delivered by the Holder or has been withdrawn), shall be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 10.14, otherwise apply to such Security pursuant to this Article 10, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase.
(b) As used herein, “Make-Whole Applicable Increase” shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the amount, set forth in the following table, which corresponds to the Effective Date and the Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

providedhowever, that:
(i) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two (2) Applicable Prices listed in the table above under the row titled “Applicable Price,” or if the actual Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental

70



Change is between two Effective Dates listed in the table above in the column immediately below the title “Effective Date,” then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by linear interpolation between the Make-Whole Applicable Increases set forth for such higher and lower Applicable Prices, or for such earlier and later Effective Dates based on a three hundred and sixty five (365) day year, as applicable;
(ii) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater than $160.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Applicable Prices pursuant to Section 10.14(b)(iii)), or if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is less than $34.85 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Applicable Prices pursuant to Section 10.14(b)(iii)), then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase shall be equal to zero (0);
(iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article 10 (other than solely pursuant to this Section 10.14), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, each Applicable Price set forth in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price” shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such Applicable Price, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (A) such Applicable Price as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Applicable Price and (B) a fraction the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article 10, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate;
(iv) each Make-Whole Applicable Increase amount set forth in the table above shall be adjusted in the same manner, for the same events and at the same time as the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 10.06 through Section 10.13; and
(c) Subject to Section 10.11, upon surrender of Securities for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall satisfy the related Conversion Obligation in accordance with Section 10.02; providedhowever, that if at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (c) of the definition of Change in Control the consideration for the Common Stock is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Securities following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Applicable Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount equal to, per $1,000 principal amount of converted Securities, the Conversion Rate (including any Make-Whole Applicable Increase), multiplied by such Applicable Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation will be determined and shall be paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the Conversion Date.
(d) As used herein, “Applicable Price” shall have the following meaning with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change: (i) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is a transaction or series of transactions described in clause (c) of the definition of Change in Control and the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares or pursuant to

71



statutory appraisal rights) for Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change consists solely of cash, then the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (ii) in all other circumstances, the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the average of the Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which average shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment, pursuant hereto, to the Conversion Rate that shall become effective, or any event requiring, pursuant hereto, an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex Date of such event occurs, at any time during such five (5) consecutive Trading Days.
(e) The Company shall send to each Holder, in accordance with Section 13.01, written notice of the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change within ten (10) days after such Effective Date. Each such notice shall also state that, in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall increase, in accordance herewith, the Conversion Rate applicable to Securities entitled as provided herein to such increase (along with a description of how such increase shall be calculated and the time periods during which Securities must be surrendered in order to be entitled to such increase, including, without limitation, the last day of the Make-Whole Conversion Period).
(f) For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 10.14 shall not affect or diminish the Company’s obligations, if any, pursuant to Article 3 with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that also constitutes a Fundamental Change.
(g) Nothing in this Section 10.14 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.06 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Section 10.15. Applicable Stock Exchange Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 10 to the contrary, in the event of any increase in the Conversion Rate that would result in the Securities in the aggregate becoming convertible into shares of Common Stock in excess of the share issuance limitations of the listing rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (regardless of whether the Company then has a class of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC), the Company shall, at its option (but without delaying delivery of consideration upon any conversion), either (i) obtain stockholder approval of such issuances, in accordance with the stockholder approval rules contained in such listing standards, or (ii) pay cash in lieu of delivering any shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion in excess of such limitations based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date (or, if the Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the next following Trading Day) in respect of which, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the Company is paying cash pursuant to this Section 10.15. If the Company pays cash in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 10.15, it will notify the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Holders of the maximum number of shares it will deliver per $1,000 principal amount of converted Security in respect of the relevant conversion.

ARTICLE 11
CONCERNING THE HOLDERS
Section 11.01. Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities 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 (i) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, (ii) 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 12 or (iii) 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 Securities, the Company or the Trustee may fix, but shall not be required to, 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 (15) days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.
Section 11.02. Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.05, proof of the execution of any instrument 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 Securities shall be proved by the security register of the Registrar or by a certificate of the Registrar. The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 12.06.
Section 11.03. Persons Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Security shall be registered upon the security register of the Registrar to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.12 and Section 4.01) accrued and unpaid interest on such Security, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable, for conversion of such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any authenticating agent nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Securities following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depository or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Physical Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

73

Section 12.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders to take any action specified in Section 12.01, to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Holders, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting and the establishment of any record date pursuant to Section 11.01, shall be sent to Holders of such Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the security register of the Registrar. Such notice shall also be sent to the Company. Such notices shall be sent not less than twenty (20) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.
Any meeting of Holders shall be valid without notice if the Holders of all Securities then outstanding are present in person or by proxy or if notice is waived before or after the meeting by the Holders of all Securities outstanding, and if the Company and the Trustee are either present by duly authorized representatives or have, before or after the meeting, waived notice.
Section 12.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Holders. In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have sent the notice of such meeting within twenty (20) days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders may determine the time and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 12.01, by sending notice thereof as provided in Section 12.02.

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 12.03, in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.

The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities held by it or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating it as the proxy to vote on behalf of other Holders. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.02 or Section 12.03 may be adjourned from time to time by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented at the meeting, whether or not constituting a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was sent as provided in Section 12.02. The record shall show the principal amount of the Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

75



Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.
Section 12.07. No Delay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under any of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Securities.

The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”), given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using the following communications methods: e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder (collectively, “Electronic Means”); providedhowever, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses,

costs or expenses (except to the extent attributable to the Trustee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.
Section 13.02. Communication by Holders with Other Holders. To the extent the TIA is then applicable: (A) The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA § 312(c) and (B) Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities.
Section 13.03. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

(b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.
Each signatory to an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel may (if so stated) rely, effectively, upon an Opinion of Counsel as to legal matters and an Officers’ Certificate or certificates of public officials or other representations or documents as to factual matters.
Section 13.04. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided pursuant to TIA § 314(a)(4)) shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(e) and shall include:
(a) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;
(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;
(c) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

78



(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement of any judgment or if jurisdiction in the courts referenced in the foregoing clause (a) are not available despite the intentions of the parties hereto;

79

(f) agrees that to the extent that such party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture, to the extent permitted by law; and
(g) irrevocably and unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding in relation to this Indenture or the Securities.

Section 13.13. Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
Section 13.14. Calculations in Respect of the Securities. The Company and its agents shall make all calculations under this Indenture and the Securities.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
CORNERSTONE ONDEMAND, INC.
5.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2021
1. Interest. Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company will pay interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, on January 1 and July 1 of each year, with the first payment to be made on January 1, 2018. Interest on the Securities will accrue on the principal amount from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from, and including, [•], 2017, in each case to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay, in cash, interest on any overdue amount (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest) at the rate borne by the Securities. In certain circumstances, Additional Interest and/or Special Interest will be payable in accordance with Section 4.03 and Section 6.01, respectively, of the Indenture (as defined below) and any reference to “interest” shall be deemed to include any such Additional Interest and/or Special Interest.
2. Maturity. The Securities will mature on the Maturity Date.
3. Method of Payment. Except as provided in the Indenture, the Company will pay interest on the Securities to the Persons who are Holders of record of Securities at the Close of Business on the Record Date set forth on the face of this Security immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect the principal amount plus, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, payable as herein provided on the Maturity Date, or on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as applicable.
4. Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent. Initially, [U.S. Bank National Association] (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without prior notice.
5. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of [•], 2017 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The Securities are subject to all terms set forth in the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. The Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Company limited to $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture (and except for Securities issued in substitution for destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities). Terms used herein without definition and which are defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.
6. Redemption. No redemption or sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

7. Repurchase at Option of Holder Upon a Fundamental Change. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, in the event of a Fundamental Change, each Holder of the Securities shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities, including any portion thereof which is $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price payable in cash equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
8. Conversion. The Securities shall be convertible into Common Stock as specified in the Indenture. To convert a Security, a Holder must satisfy the requirements of Section 10.02(a) of the Indenture. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.
Upon conversion of a Security, the Holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Common Stock and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock payable upon conversion in accordance with Article 10 of the Indenture.
9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with certain transfers or exchanges as set forth in the Indenture. The Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security for which a Repurchase Notice has been delivered, and not withdrawn, in accordance with the Indenture, except the unrepurchased portion of Securities being repurchased in part.
10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security will be treated as its owner for all purposes. Only registered Holders of Securities shall have the rights under the Indenture.
11. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and in other circumstances with consent of the Holders of one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities, to amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities.
12. Defaults and Remedies. Subject to certain exceptions, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee may declare the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities to be due and payable immediately. If any of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related Events of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind or annul an acceleration and its consequences if certain conditions specified in the Indenture are satisfied.

13. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, or any banking institution serving as successor Trustee thereunder, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for, the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
14. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent in accordance with the Indenture.
15. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement is being entered into at the request of [Name of Borrower], a [Jurisdiction of Organization][Entity Type] (the “Borrower”), in connection with the Loan Agreement dated as of [ ] between the Borrower and [Name of Lender], as lender (including any agent acting therefor, the “Lender”) (as amended and supplemented from time to time, and together with any security agreement executed in connection therewith, the “Margin Loan Agreement”, and the exercise of remedies by the Lender following an event of default under the Margin Loan Agreement, including in such exercise of remedies, foreclosure, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock (each as defined below) made in connection with a Coverage Event (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) or as otherwise contemplated by the Margin Loan Agreement, collectively, the “Exercise of Remedies” and, together with the Margin Loan Agreement, the “Transactions”). For purposes of this letter agreement, “Closing Date” shall mean [Date]. Pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, the Lender is acquiring a first priority security interest in, inter alia, (x) 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Convertible Notes” and, upon crediting of such Convertible Notes to the Collateral Account, the “Pledged Convertible Notes”) of Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. (the “Issuer”) issued pursuant to an indenture, dated [ ], 2017 (the “Indenture”) between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and (y) certain shares of common stock of the Issuer that may be received upon conversion of the Convertible Notes from time to time (the “Common Stock” and, upon crediting of such shares of Common Stock to the Collateral Account, the “Pledged Common Stock”) to secure the Borrower’s obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement. The Pledged Convertible Notes and any Pledged Common Stock will be credited or delivered to, and held in, one or more accounts of Borrower at a third-party custodian (which may be the Lender or an affiliate thereof) (the “Custodian”) in each case subject to the security interest granted under the Margin Loan Agreement (each, a “Collateral Account”, and collectively, the “Collateral Accounts”). As used herein, “Business Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open in New York City, and “DTC” means the Depository Trust Company.
In connection with the Transactions:
1.
The Issuer confirms that based solely on the information provided to the Issuer prior to its execution of this letter agreement, it has no objection to the Transactions and none of the Transactions is subject to any insider trading or other policy or rule of the Issuer.

2.
Based solely on the information provided to the Issuer prior to its execution of this letter agreement, the Issuer confirms that the loan contemplated by the Margin Loan Agreement is a Permitted Loan as defined in the Investment Agreement (as defined in the Indenture, the “Investment Agreement”), and further agrees and acknowledges that the Borrower shall have the right to pledge or sell the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock to the extent permitted in connection with Permitted Loans as described in the Investment Agreement.
3.
The Issuer acknowledges that the Borrower can assign by way of security to the Lender its rights under Article V of the Investment Agreement under the Margin Loan Agreement, as permitted by Section 6.07(iv)(z) of the Investment Agreement, and confirms that it has no objection to the assignment of such rights under Article V of the Investment Agreement pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Margin Loan Agreement or any transfers of Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock under such Article V related thereto, or any assignment of such rights under Article V made in connection with any Coverage Event or Exercise of Remedies.
4.
Except as required by applicable law and stock exchange rules, as determined in good faith by the Issuer, the Issuer will not take any actions intended to hinder or delay any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement. Without limiting the generality of paragraphs 5 through 16 below, the Issuer agrees, upon Lender’s request after the occurrence of a Coverage Event under the Margin Loan Agreement or in connection with any Exercise of Remedies, to cooperate in good faith (and in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Indenture and in accordance with applicable law) with the Lender, the Trustee and/or the transfer agent relating to the Common Stock in any transfer of Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock made pursuant to any exercise by the Lender of its remedies under the Margin Loan Agreement or otherwise, including with respect to the removal of any restrictive legends.
5.
In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Issuer shall take such actions as are within its control to cause the transfer and settlement of Pledged Convertible Notes (in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Indenture) within two Business Days of notice by the Lender. Upon consummation of such transfer and settlement to the purchaser(s) designated by the Lender, such Pledged Convertible Notes shall be (a) in book-entry DTC form if such Pledged Convertible Notes are (i) sold under a registration statement, (ii) sold under Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or (iii) then in book-entry DTC form, or (b) otherwise, in the form of Physical Securities (as defined in the Indenture). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or any other agreement, for purposes of any transfer of Pledged Convertible Notes in the form of Physical Securities in connection with an Exercise of Remedies, the only documents required by the Issuer and the Trustee from the Lender or the Borrower are as follows: (i) a certificate executed by or on behalf of the Borrower, in the form set forth in Attachment 1 to Exhibit A attached to the Indenture (disregarding any amendments or modifications thereto subsequent to the date hereof), but without any signature guarantee and (ii) for any transfer of Restricted Securities (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date (as defined in the Indenture) (which, for all purposes hereunder and under the Indenture, shall be the date that is one year following the Closing Date), an opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto and addressed to the Issuer and its transfer agent (in the case of any transfer of Physical Securities bearing the Security Private Placement Legend (as defined in the Indenture) to a transferee who will receive Physical Securities bearing the Security Private Placement Legend that constitute Restricted Securities) or Exhibit 2 attached hereto (in the case of any transfer of Physical Securities bearing the Security Private Placement Legend to a

transferee who will receive Physical Securities not bearing the Security Private Placement Legend or beneficial interests in a Global Security not bearing the Security Private Placement Legend). Within two Business Days of receipt of such documents and the presentation of such Physical Securities at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, together with any required payment in connection with such transfer as set forth in Section 2.06 of the Indenture, the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to register the transfer of the number of Pledged Convertible Notes being sold to the account(s) of the purchaser(s), in each case as specified in such certificate.
6.
In connection with any Exercise of Remedies, the Issuer shall take such actions as are within its control to cause the transfer and settlement of any shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of the Pledged Convertible Notes within two Business Days of notice by the Lender. Upon consummation of such transfer and settlement to the purchaser(s) designated by the Lender, such shares of Common Stock shall be (a) in book-entry DTC form, without any restricted legends and bearing an unrestricted CUSIP, if such shares are (i) sold under a registration statement, (ii) sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (iii) otherwise freely tradeable upon conversion, or (b) otherwise, in certificated form bearing the Common Stock Private Placement Legend (as defined in the Indenture). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or any other agreement, in connection with an Exercise of Remedies, for purposes of any conversion of Pledged Convertible Notes in the form of Physical Securities and concurrent transfer of shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of such Pledged Convertible Notes, the only documents required by the Issuer and the transfer agent for the Common Stock from the Lender or the Borrower are as follows: (i) a certificate executed by or on behalf of the Borrower, in substantially the form set forth in Attachment 1 to Exhibit A attached to the Indenture (disregarding any amendments or modifications thereto subsequent to the date hereof) as if references therein to Convertible Notes were instead references to Common Stock issued upon conversion of Convertible Notes mutatis mutandis and without any signature guarantee and (ii) for any transfer of Common Stock bearing the Common Stock Private Placement Legend prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, an opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto (in the case of any transfer of Common Stock in certificated form bearing the Common Stock Private Placement Legend to a transferee who will receive Common Stock in certificated form bearing the Common Stock Private Placement Legend) or Exhibit 2 attached hereto (in the case of any transfer of Common Stock in certificated form bearing the Common Stock Private Placement Legend to a transferee who will receive Common Stock in certificated form not bearing the Common Stock Private Placement Legend or beneficial interests in Common Stock in global form not bearing the Common Stock Private Placement Legend). Within two Business Days of receipt of such documents and the surrender of such shares of Common Stock to the transfer agent for the Common Stock, the Issuer shall cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock to register the transfer of the number of shares of Common Stock being sold to the account(s) of the purchaser(s), in each case as specified in such certificate.
7.
The Issuer will cause the Pledged Convertible Notes and/or Pledged Common Stock to be put into book-entry DTC form as of the Closing Date.
8.
In connection with any Exercise of Remedies whereby all or any portion of the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock is or may be sold in a private resale transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act prior to the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the relevant Pledged Convertible Notes, the Issuer shall provide, within three Business Days following a request by the Lender, a reasonable opportunity for a customary business, legal and documentary diligence investigation to potential purchasers of such Pledged

3



Convertible Notes and/or shares of Pledged Common Stock, as identified by the Lender in such notice, subject to customary non-disclosure agreements to be executed by any such purchaser; provided that such diligence investigation is not unreasonably disruptive to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
9.
The Issuer agrees with respect to any purchaser of Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock in a foreclosure sale (including the Lender or its affiliates) that is not, and has not been for the immediately preceding three months, an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer, that, if such notes or shares are then eligible for resale under Rule 144 (and such purchaser has satisfied the holding period set forth in Rule 144(d)) and, if such sale occurs prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the Issuer meets the condition set forth in Rule 144(c)(1), it shall, upon request of such purchaser, remove any restrictive legend relating to Securities Act restrictions from such notes or shares and, if applicable, to cause any such notes to be exchanged for beneficial interests in global notes held by DTC or its nominee.
10.
The Lender covenants and agrees with the Issuer that, to the extent the Pledged Convertible Notes consist of SL Securities (as defined in the Indenture), then in connection with any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement whereby the Lender forecloses on, sells, or transfers the Pledged Convertible Notes to itself, any affiliate or a third party, it shall, in connection with any such foreclosure, sale or transfer, exchange such SL Securities in accordance with the Indenture for (i) if the SL Security consists of beneficial interests in a Global Security (as defined in the Indenture), beneficial interests in another Global Security that is not a SL Security or (ii) if the SL Security is a Physical Security (as defined in the Indenture), for another Physical Security that is not a SL Security, such that, in either case, the transferee thereto does not own or hold any beneficial interest in any SL Security. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender agrees and acknowledges that neither it nor any transferee that is not a member of Silver Lake Group (as defined in the Investment Agreement) shall be allowed to hold a beneficial interest in a Global Security that is a SL Security, own a Physical Security that is a SL Security or exercise any conversion rights in respect thereof.
11.
The Lender agrees and acknowledges that, prior to the occurrence of a Coverage Event or an event of default or another event under the Margin Loan Agreement that results in or could result in any Exercise of Remedies, the Lender shall not have the right to rehypothecate, use, borrow, lend, pledge or sell the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Common Stock; provided that, subject to paragraph 12 below in the case of an assignment, the Lender may pledge or assign its rights under the Margin Loan Agreement.
12.
Any assignee of Lender’s rights and obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement shall enter into a joinder to this Issuer Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, or shall deliver to the Issuer a counterpart, executed by the assignee, of a substantially identical agreement and the Issuer shall promptly accept such assignment.
13.
The pledge by the Borrower of the Pledged Convertible Notes and the Pledged Common Stock pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, and any Exercise of Remedies by the Lender, are not restricted in any manner by the formation documents of the Issuer or any other agreement to which the Issuer is a party, other than the Investment Agreement and the Indenture.
14.
To the knowledge of the Issuer, neither the Pledged Convertible Notes nor the Pledged Common Stock is subject to any pledge, interest, mortgage, lien, encumbrance or right of setoff other than any such as may be created and may exist in favor of the Lender as a result of the Transactions.

4



15.
The Issuer shall make all payments on the Pledged Convertible Notes and the Pledged Common Stock with a record date on and after the Closing Date to the Collateral Accounts (as irrevocably directed by the Borrower) or otherwise in accordance with the Margin Loan Agreement.
16.
Subject to customary enforceability exceptions, the Convertible Notes are valid and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms. The Common Stock, when issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of pre-emptive or similar rights.

ANNEX A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling securityholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer some or all of the notes or shares of common stock (collectively, “Securities”) covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

The selling securityholders will not pay any of the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration and sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus, but they will pay any and all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes, if any, attributable to sales of the Securities. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Securities.

The selling securityholders may sell the Securities covered by this prospectus from time to time, and may also decide not to sell all or any of the Securities that they are allowed to sell under this prospectus. The selling securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. Sales may be made by the selling securityholders in one or more types of transactions, which may include:
 
 
purchases by underwriters, dealers and agents who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholders and/or the purchasers of the Securities for whom they may act as agent;
 
 
one or more block transactions, including transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;
 
 
ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which a broker solicits purchases;
 
 
purchases by a broker-dealer or market maker, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
the pledge of Securities for any loan or obligation, including pledges to brokers or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of Securities, and, in the case of any collateral call or default on such loan or obligation, pledges or sales of Securities by such pledgees or secured parties;
 
 
short sales or transactions to cover short sales relating to the Securities;

Annex A-1

Annex A-1



 
 
one or more exchanges or over the counter market transactions;
 
 
through distribution by a selling securityholder or its successor in interest to its members, general or limited partners or shareholders (or their respective members, general or limited partners or shareholders);
 
 
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
 
 
distributions to creditors and equity holders of the selling securityholders; and
 
 
any combination of the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under applicable law.
A selling securityholder may also resell all or a portion of its Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144 and all applicable laws and regulations.

The selling securityholders may enter into sale, forward sale and derivative transactions with third parties, or may sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with those sale, forward sale or derivative transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus, including in short sale transactions and by issuing securities that are not covered by this prospectus but are exchangeable for or represent beneficial interests in the common stock. The third parties also may use shares of common stock received under those sale, forward sale or derivative arrangements or shares of common stock pledged by the selling securityholder or borrowed from the selling securityholders or others to settle such third-party sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock. The third parties may deliver this prospectus in connection with any such transactions. Any third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in a supplement or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, as may be required.

In addition, the selling securityholders may engage in hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of Securities or otherwise. In those transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may also sell securities short and redeliver securities to close out such short positions. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery of securities to the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such securities pursuant to this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may loan or pledge Securities, and the borrower or pledgee may sell or otherwise transfer the Securities so loaned or pledged pursuant to this prospectus. Such borrower or pledgee also may transfer those Securities to investors in our securities or the selling securityholders’ securities or in connection with the offering of other securities not covered by this prospectus.

Annex A-2

Annex A-2



To the extent necessary, the specific terms of the offering of Securities, including the specific Securities to be sold, the names of the selling securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent, if any, and any applicable compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions paid to underwriters or agents or paid or allowed to dealers will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus or a post-effective amendment to this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The selling securityholders may, or may authorize underwriters, dealers and agents to, solicit offers from specified institutions to purchase Securities from the selling securityholders. These sales may be made under “delayed delivery contracts” or other purchase contracts that provide for payment and delivery on a specified future date. If necessary, any such contracts will be described and be subject to the conditions set forth in a supplement to this prospectus or a post-effective amendment to this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling securityholders. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of Securities for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both. Compensation to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving securities. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.

In connection with sales of Securities covered hereby, the selling securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent and any other participating broker-dealer that executes sales for the selling securityholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Accordingly, any profits realized by the selling securityholders and any compensation earned by such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Selling securityholders who are “underwriters” under the Securities Act must deliver this prospectus in the manner required by the Securities Act. This prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied through the facilities of the NASDAQ Stock Market in accordance with Rule 153 under the Securities Act or satisfied in accordance with Rule 174 under the Securities Act.

We and the selling securityholders have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, we or the selling securityholders may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against or contribute to any payments the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates are permitted to be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates or the selling securityholders or their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

The selling securityholders will be subject to the applicable provisions of Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Securities by the selling securityholders. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities. These restrictions may affect the marketability of such Securities.

Annex A-3

Annex A-3



In order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states or countries, the Securities may only be sold in those jurisdictions through registered or licensed brokers or dealers and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, in certain states or countries the Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or country or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available. In addition, any Securities of a selling securityholder covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold in open market transactions under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

In connection with an offering of Securities under this prospectus, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions.

These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities offered under this prospectus. As a result, the price of the Securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on the NASDAQ Stock Market or another securities exchange or automated quotation system, or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
