The information set forth in Item 8.01 is incorporated
herein by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On
June 22, 2023, Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and its external manager, SPT Management, LLC (the “Manager”),
entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman, Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities
LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the
issuance and sale of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”).
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $52,500,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes to cover over-allotments, if any. Settlement
of the offering occurred on July 3, 2023.
The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were
approximately $340.5 million (or approximately $391.7 million if the Underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional
Notes to cover over-allotments, if any), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable
by the Company. The Company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering to finance or refinance, in whole
or in part, recently completed or future eligible green and/or social projects. Eligible green and/or social projects are projects that
meet certain eligibility criteria in alignment with the four core components of the Green Bond Principles 2021 (with June 2022 Appendix
1), Social Bond Principles 2021 (with June 2022 Appendix 1) and Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2021 as administered by the International
Capital Market Association. Net proceeds allocated to previously incurred costs associated with eligible green and/or social projects
will be available for the repayment of indebtedness previously incurred. Pending full allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds
to eligible green and/or social projects, the Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment
of outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s repurchase facilities.
The Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated
as of February 15, 2013, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented
by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 3, 2023, between the Company and the Trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”).
The Notes pay interest
semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2024, at a rate of 6.750% per annum and mature on July 15,
2027, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. Prior to January 15, 2027, the Notes will
be convertible only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods, and thereafter will be convertible at any time prior to the
close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to maturity. The conversion rate for the Notes is initially 48.1783 shares
of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Upon conversion, holders will receive
cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof at the Company’s election. On or after April 15, 2027,
the Company may redeem the Notes for cash, in whole or from time to time in part, at the Company’s option, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption
date. If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), subject
to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to purchase for cash all or part of their Notes at a price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase
date.
The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured
obligations and rank equally with all of its present and future senior unsecured debt and senior to any future subordinated debt.
The Notes and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable
upon conversion of the Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to a
shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-264946) previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Act.

$350,000,000 6.750% Convertible Senior Notes due
2027
Underwriting Agreement
New York, New York
June 22, 2023
To the Representatives named in
Schedule I hereto of the several Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Starwood Property Trust, Inc.,
a corporation organized under the laws of Maryland (the “Company”), proposes to sell to the several underwriters named in
Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, $350,000,000
principal amount of its 6.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Securities”) (said convertible senior notes to be issued
and sold by the Company being hereinafter called the “Underwritten Securities”). The Company also proposes to grant to the
Underwriters an option to purchase up to the principal amount of additional convertible senior notes set forth in Schedule I hereto to
cover over-allotments, if any (the “Option Securities”; the Option Securities, together with the Underwritten Securities,
being hereinafter called the “Securities”).The Securities are to be issued under an indenture (the “Base Indenture”),
dated as of February 15, 2013, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented
by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, to be dated July 3, 2023, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental
Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). To the extent there are no additional Underwriters
listed on Schedule II other than you, the term Representatives as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives
and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement,
the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before
the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus,
as the case may be (collectively, the “Incorporated Documents”); and any reference herein to the terms “amend,”
“amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus
or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective
Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the
case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 21 hereof.
1. Representations
and Warranties of the Company and the Manager.
(a) The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1(a).
(i) Compliance
with Registration Requirements. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and filed
with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement, as defined in Rule 405 (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule
I hereto) on Form S-3, including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Securities
and the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable upon conversion
of the Securities. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution Time, became effective upon
filing. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement is in effect, the Commission has not issued any order or notice preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement,
any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus and no proceedings for such purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act have
been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated or threatened by the Commission. The Company may
have filed with the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more preliminary
prospectus supplements relating to the Securities, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Company will file with the
Commission a final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities in accordance with Rule 424(b). As filed, such final prospectus
supplement shall contain all information required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Representatives
shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time
or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond
that contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will
be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x).
The initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time.
(ii) Accuracy
of Disclosure in Registration Statement and Final Prospectus. On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the
Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined herein) and on any date on
which Option Securities are purchased, if such date is not the Closing Date (a “settlement date”), the Final Prospectus (and
any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust
Indenture Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each Effective Date and at the Execution Time, the Registration Statement did
not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing
Date and any settlement date, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the information
contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion
in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information
furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.
(iii) Accuracy
of Disclosure in Disclosure Package. At the Applicable Time, (A) the Disclosure Package, and (B) each electronic road show
when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, did not, and on the Closing Date and any settlement date will not, contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from
the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives
specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter
consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.
(iv) Accuracy
of Disclosure in Incorporated Documents. Each of the Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, complied in
all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the respective rules thereunder. When the Incorporated
Documents are read together with the other information in (i) the Registration Statement, at each Effective Date and at the Execution
Time, (ii) the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto), on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and
on the Closing Date and any settlement date, and (iii) the Disclosure Package, at the Applicable Time, such Incorporated Documents
did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(v) WKSI
Status. (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the
purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated
report filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any
person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Securities
in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163, and (D) at the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date
for purposes of this clause (D)), the Company was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in
Rule 405.
(vi) Not
Ineligible Issuer. (A) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering
participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) of the Securities and (B) as of the Execution
Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (B)), the Company was not and is not an Ineligible
Issuer (as defined in Rule 405), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it
is not necessary that the Company be considered an Ineligible Issuer.
(vii) Issuer
Free Writing Prospectuses. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus does not include any information that conflicts with the information
contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated therein by reference and any prospectus supplement deemed
to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from
any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through
the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf
of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.
(viii) Company
Financial Statements. The consolidated historical financial statements and schedules of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus present fairly the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates and for the

in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus fairly present, on the basis stated therein, the information
included therein. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in each of the
Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus fairly presents the information called for in all material respects
and is prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

delivered their reports with respect to the audited consolidated financial statements and schedules included or incorporated by reference

Company within the meaning of the Act and the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder and the rules and regulations

agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease
or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound,
or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”),

Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Indenture
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein and in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and

and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action

(xvii) Absence
of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency

there are no affiliate transactions, contracts or other documents of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement,
the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, if any, or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which are not described
or filed as required. All agreements between the Company and any other party expressly referenced in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure
Package and the Final Prospectus are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance

(xix) Absence
of Further Requirements. No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree
of, any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary or required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under
this Agreement or the Indenture, in connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Securities hereunder or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture except such as have been already obtained or as may be required under
the Act or state securities laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
(xx) Absence
of Manipulation. Neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company has taken, nor will the Company or any affiliate of the Company
take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to or which has constituted or which would be expected to cause or result in
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.
(xxi) Possession

in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and have been designed by, or under
the supervision of, its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with GAAP. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (A) transactions
are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets
is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability for

under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and

Adverse Effect.

of the qualification of the Securities or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction
or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance,
occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection,
including, if necessary, if not an automatic shelf registration statement, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new
registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), (i) any event occurs as a result of which the
Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement
the Disclosure Package to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Company will (a) notify

requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented
would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement,
file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder,
including in connection with use or delivery of the Final Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of
any such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first two sentences of paragraph (a) of this Section 5,
an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use
its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement, if not an automatic shelf registration
statement, declared effective as soon as practicable in order to avoid any disruption in use of the Final Prospectus and (iv) supply
any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.
(d) As
soon as practicable, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and to the Representatives an earnings statement
or statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement

Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing
or other production of all documents relating to the offering.

Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Securities for offer and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and will maintain such qualifications
in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities;
provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or
to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or the sale of the
Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.
(g) The
Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Representatives, it has not made and will not
make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a
“free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained
by the Company under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the Representatives hereto shall be deemed to have been
given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule III hereto and any electronic road show. Any such free writing
prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.”
The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and

keeping. The Company consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an “issuer free writing
prospectus” as defined in Rule 433, or (b) contains only (1) information describing the preliminary terms of the
Securities or the offering, (2) information that describes the final terms of the Securities or the offering and that is included
in the Pricing Term Sheet of the Company contemplated in Schedule III hereof or (3) information permitted under Rule 134 under
the Act; provided that each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company not to take any action without the
prior written consent of the Company that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) under
the Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the
Company thereunder, but for the action of such Underwriter.
(h) The

(d) The
Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President
and the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date and any settlement date pursuant to Section 3
hereof, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package,
the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, as well as each electronic road show used in connection with the offering
of the Securities, and this Agreement and that, to the best knowledge of such officers:
(i) the
representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date and any settlement
date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, as applicable, with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and any settlement date pursuant
to Section 3 hereof, as applicable, and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its

the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus
(exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions
in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive
of any amendment or supplement thereto).
(e) The
Manager shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Manager, signed by the President of the Manager, dated the Closing
Date and any settlement date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, to the effect that the signer of such certificate has carefully examined
the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, as well as each electronic
road show used in connection with the offering of the Securities, and this Agreement and that, to the best knowledge of such officer,
the representations and warranties of the Manager in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date and any settlement
date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, as applicable, with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and any settlement date pursuant
to Section 3 hereof, as applicable.
(f) The
Company shall have requested and caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to have furnished to the Representatives, at the Execution Time,
at the Closing Date and any settlement date pursuant to Section 3 hereof, letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered
to one or more of the Representatives), dated respectively as of the Execution Time, as of the Closing Date and any settlement date pursuant
to Section 3 hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, containing statements and information of the type
ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain
financial information of the Company contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and
the Final Prospectus.
(g) Subsequent
to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment
thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or
decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or
any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties
of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except
as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto)
the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives,
so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities as contemplated
by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any
amendment or supplement thereto).
(h) Prior

(k) At
the Execution Time, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto
from (i) the Manager and (ii) Barry Sternlicht, in each case addressed to the Representatives.

for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the
Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile
confirmed in writing.
The documents required to be
delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, counsel for the
Underwriters, at One Manhattan West, New York, New York, 10001-8602, on the Closing Date and any settlement date pursuant to Section 3
hereof.
7. Reimbursement
of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the
obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied or because of any termination pursuant to clause (i) of
Section 10 hereof (as to the Common Stock only), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through Goldman, Sachs &
Co. LLC on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection
with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.
8. Indemnification
and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees
and agents of each Underwriter, any broker-dealer affiliate of an Underwriter involved in the distribution of the Securities, and each
person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or
state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or any other preliminary
prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, the Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof
or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final
Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which
they are made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically
for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Each
Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to
the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information furnished
to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to
in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The
Company acknowledges that the following statements set forth under the heading “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus
and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion
in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus: the fourth paragraph (other than the fifth
sentence), the second sentence of the seventh paragraph, the first and second sentences of the eighth paragraph, the first sentence of
the ninth paragraph and the third sentence of the tenth paragraph.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from
liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof
and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than
the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to
appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party
in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees
and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however,
that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint
counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including
local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the
use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest,
(ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall
not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice
of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel
at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties,
settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding
in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential
parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) In
the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the
offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement
among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount and
commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the first sentence of this
Section 8(d) is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters
on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received
by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each
case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d),
no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 8(d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. For purposes of this Section 8, each
person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, agent
of an Underwriter and each broker-dealer affiliate of an Underwriter involved in the distribution of the Securities shall have the same
rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same
rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9. Default
by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased
by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their
obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions
which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities
set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities
set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation
to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate
without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9,
the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order
that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting
Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
10. Termination.
This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior
to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s
Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New
York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking
moratorium shall have been declared either by federal or New York State authorities, (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak
or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect
of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed
with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus
(exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), (iv) a downgrading in the rating accorded the Company’s debt securities
by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” shall have occurred, or (v) any “nationally recognized
statistical rating organization” shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative
implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities.
11. Representations
and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company,
the Manager or their respective officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors,
employees, agents, broker-dealer affiliates or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of
and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Section 5(i) (with respect to subclauses (vi) and (vii) only, except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement), Sections 7 and 8 hereof and this Section 11 shall survive the termination or cancellation
of this Agreement.
12. Notices.
All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered

employees, agents, broker-dealer affiliates and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have
any right or obligation hereunder.

Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to
the offering of the Securities is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is
solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised
or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have
rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such
transaction or the process leading thereto.

or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

specified in Section 5.06(c) hereof.
“Successor Company” has the
meaning specified in Section 10.02(a) hereof.
“Supplemental Indenture” has
the meaning specified in the first paragraph hereof, as such instrument may be supplemented from time to time by one or more indentures
supplemental thereto, entered into pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture, including,
for all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture and any such other supplemental indenture, the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
that are deemed to be a part of and govern the Base Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture and any other such supplemental indenture,
respectively.
“Supplementary Interest” has
the meaning specified in Section 7.04(a) hereof.
“Trading Day” means a Scheduled
Trading Day on which (i) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on The New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is
not then listed on The New York Stock Exchange, on the principal other U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, on the principal
other market on which the Common Stock is then traded, and (ii) there is no Market Disruption Event. If the Common Stock is not
so listed or traded, “Trading Day” means a “Business Day.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of
determining amounts due upon conversion only pursuant to Section 5.03, “Trading Day” means a day during which
(i) trading in the Common Stock generally occurs on the primary exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock then trades
or is quoted and (ii) there is no Market Disruption Event.
“Trading Price” of the Securities
on any Trading Day means the average of the secondary market bid quotations obtained by the Bid Solicitation Agent for $5.0 million principal
amount of the Securities at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Trading Day from three independent nationally recognized
securities dealers selected by the Company; provided that, if three such bids cannot reasonably be obtained by the Bid Solicitation
Agent but two such bids are obtained, then the average of the two bids shall be used, and if only one such bid can reasonably be obtained
by the Bid Solicitation Agent, that one bid shall be used. If the Bid Solicitation Agent cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for
$5.0 million principal amount of the Securities from a nationally recognized securities dealer, then the Trading Price per $1,000 principal
amount of Securities will be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day
and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. Any such determination will be conclusive absent
manifest error. If the Company does not so instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) to obtain bids when required,
or the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to solicit bids when required, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities will
be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate and (ii) the Trading Price for each Trading Day on
which the Company or the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to do so, as the case may be.

specified in Section 5.04(c) hereof.

shall be deemed to include Supplementary Interest if, in such context, Supplementary Interest is, was or would be payable pursuant to

(b) Initial
Issuance. Subject to Section 2.01(c) hereof, the aggregate principal amount of Securities that may initially be
authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is limited to $350,000,000, as may be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of any additional Securities purchased by any Underwriters pursuant to the exercise of their option to purchase additional Securities
as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the Company may execute, and the Trustee may authenticate and deliver, in each
case, in accordance with Section 303 of the Base Indenture, an unlimited aggregate principal amount of additional Securities upon
the transfer, exchange, purchase or conversion of Securities pursuant to Sections 304, 305 and 306 of the Base Indenture and Sections 3.05
and 5.02 hereof.
(c) Further
Issues. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, issue additional Securities under the Indenture with the same terms
and the same CUSIP number as the Securities initially issued under the Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided,
that the Company may issue such additional Securities only if they are part of the same issue as the Securities initially issued hereunder
for United States federal income tax purposes. Any such additional Securities will, for all purposes of the Indenture, including waivers,
amendments and offers to purchase, be treated as part of the same series as the Securities initially issued under the Indenture.
(d) Purchases.
The Company and its Subsidiaries may from time to time purchase Securities in open market purchases in negotiated transactions or otherwise
without giving prior notice to or obtaining any consent of the Holders. Any Securities purchased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
pursuant to the foregoing sentence or otherwise will be retired and will no longer be Outstanding under the Indenture.
(e) Denominations.
Pursuant to Sections 301 and 302 of the Base Indenture, the Securities will be issued only in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Section 2.02 Forms.
(a) In
General. Pursuant to Section 201 of the Base Indenture, the Securities will be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibit A
hereto, and may include such insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Indenture,
and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required
to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such
Securities, as evidenced by their execution of the Securities.
Notwithstanding Section 305 of the Base Indenture,
each Security will bear a Trustee’s certificate of authentication substantially in the form included in Exhibit A hereto.
Each Security will also bear the Form of Notice of Conversion, the Form of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice and the Form of
Assignment and Transfer.
Any Security that is a Global Security will bear
a legend substantially in the form of the legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto and shall also bear the “Schedule of
Increases and Decreases of Global Security” set forth in Annex A to Exhibit A hereto.
The terms and provisions contained in the Securities
will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee,
by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
However, to the extent that any provision of any Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of this
Indenture will govern and control.
(b) Initial
and Subsequent Form of Securities. The Company hereby initially appoints The Depository Trust Company as the Depository for
the Securities, which initially shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities without interest coupons (i) registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, and (ii) delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depository.
So long as the Securities are eligible for book-entry
settlement with the Depository, unless otherwise required by law, and except to the extent provided in Section 2.03(c)(1) through
(3) hereof, all Securities will be represented by one or more Global Securities.
(c) Global
Securities. Each Global Security will represent the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities endorsed thereon
and provide that it represents such aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities, which aggregate principal amount may,
from time to time, be reduced or increased to reflect transfers, exchanges, conversions or purchases by the Company.
Only the Trustee, or the Custodian holding such
Global Security for the Depository, at the direction of the Trustee, may endorse a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase
or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities represented thereby, and whenever the Holder of a Global
Security delivers instructions to the Trustee to increase or decrease the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities
represented by a Global Security in accordance with the Indenture and the Applicable Procedures, the Trustee, or the Custodian holding
such Global Security for the Depository, at the direction of the Trustee, will endorse such Global Security to reflect such increase
or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities represented thereby. None of the Trustee, the Company
or any agent of the Trustee or the Company will have any responsibility or bear any liability for any aspect of the records relating
to or payments made on account of the ownership of any beneficial interest in a Global Security or with respect to maintaining, supervising
or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interest.
Members of, or participants in, the Depository
(“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the 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 Cede & Co., or such other person designated
by the Depository as 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished
by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise
of the rights of any Holder.
Section 2.03 Transfer

(a) In
General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the Company is not required to transfer
or exchange any Securities or portions thereof that have been surrendered for purchase in accordance with Article 3 hereof
(unless the related Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03) or
for conversion in accordance with Article 5 hereof or that have been called for redemption in accordance with the provisions
of Article 4 hereof, and a written form of transfer substantially in the form of the Form of Assignment and Transfer
will be deemed to be a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar.
At such time as all interests in a Global Security
have been purchased, converted, cancelled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, such Global Security shall, upon receipt
thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depository and the Custodian
for the Global Security. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is purchased, converted, cancelled
or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Security shall, in accordance with the standing
procedures and instructions existing between the Depository and the Custodian for the Global Security, be appropriately reduced, and
an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Custodian for the Global Security, at the direction of the
Trustee, to reflect such reduction.
(b) Global
Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 305 of the Base Indenture, every transfer and exchange of a
beneficial interest in a Global Security will be effected through the Depository in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the
provisions of the Indenture, and each Global Security may be transferred only as a whole and only (A) by the Depository to a nominee
of the Depository, (B) by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or to another nominee of the Depository, or (C) by
the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
(c) Holders
Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and any interest (subject to Section 307 of the Base Indenture) on such Security at the Maturity
Date, in connection with a Fundamental Change, upon any conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, including delivery of shares
of Common Stock on conversion, for distribution of notices to such Holders or solicitations of their consent, whether or not such Security
be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 305
of the Base Indenture:
(1) Each
Global Security will be exchanged for Physical Securities if the Depository delivers notice to the Company that the Depository is unwilling,
unable or no longer permitted under applicable law to continue to act as Depository, and, in each case, the Company promptly delivers
a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository within 90 days after receiving notice from
the Depository.
(2) If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security may exchange such beneficial
interest for Physical Securities by delivering a written request to the Security Registrar.
(3) If
the Company notifies the Trustee that it wishes to terminate and exchange all or part of a Global Security for Physical Securities and
the beneficial owners of the majority of the principal amount of such Global Security (or portion thereof) to be exchanged consent to
such exchange, the Company may exchange all beneficial interests in such Global Security (or portion thereof) for Physical Securities
by delivering a written request to the Security Registrar.
In the case of an exchange for Physical Securities
under clause (1) above:
(A) each
Global Security will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation;
(B) the
Trustee will cause each Global Security to be cancelled in accordance with the Applicable Procedures; and
(C) the
Company, in accordance with Section 303 of the Base Indenture, will promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Request, the
Trustee, in accordance with Section 303 of the Base Indenture, will promptly authenticate and deliver, for each beneficial interest
in each Global Security so exchanged, an aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities equal to the aggregate principal amount of
such beneficial interest, registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository specifies, and bearing any
legends that such Physical Securities are required to bear under this Indenture.
In the case of an exchange for Physical Securities
under clause (2) above:
(A) the
Security Registrar will deliver notice of such request to the Company and the Trustee, which notice will identify the owner of the beneficial
interest to be exchanged, the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest and the CUSIP of the relevant Global Security, in
each case if and as such information is provided to the Security Registrar by the Depository;
(B) the
Company, in accordance with Section 303 of the Base Indenture, will promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Request, the
Trustee, in accordance with Section 303 of the Base Indenture, will promptly authenticate and deliver to such owner, for the beneficial
interest so exchanged by such owner, Physical Securities registered in such owner’s name having an aggregate principal amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest and bearing any legends that such Physical Securities are required to bear
under this Indenture; and
(C) the
Security Registrar, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, will cause the principal amount of such Global Security to be decreased
by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest so exchanged. If all of the beneficial interests in a Global Security are
so exchanged, such Global Security will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause such Global
Security to be cancelled in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
In the case of an exchange for Physical Securities
under clause (3) above:
(A) the
Company will deliver notice of such request to the Security Registrar and the Trustee, which notice will identify each owner of a beneficial
interest to be exchanged, the aggregate principal amount of each such beneficial interest and the CUSIP of the relevant Global Security;
(B) the
Company, in accordance with Section 303 of the Base Indenture, will promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Request, the
Trustee, in accordance with Section 303 of the Base Indenture, will promptly authenticate and deliver to each such beneficial owner,
Physical Securities registered in such beneficial owner’s name having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of its exchanged beneficial interest and bearing any legends that such Physical Securities are required to bear under this Indenture
and any applicable law; and
(C) the
Security Registrar, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, will cause the principal amount of each relevant Global Security to
be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interests so exchanged. If all of the beneficial interests in a Global
Security are so exchanged, such Global Security will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause
such Global Security to be cancelled in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
In each of the cases described in clauses (1),
(2) and (3) above, the Company may rely on the Depository to provide all names of beneficial owners and their respective principal
amounts beneficially owned and may issue Physical Securities registered in the names and amounts so provided by the Depository.
(d) Physical
Securities. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 2.03(a) hereof, Physical Securities may be transferred
or exchanged in accordance with Section 305 of the Base Indenture.
Section 2.04 Payments
on the Securities.
(a) In
General. Each Security will accrue interest at a rate equal to 6.750% per annum from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, July 3, 2023. Interest on a Security will cease
to accrue upon the earliest of the Maturity Date, subject to the provisions of Article 3 hereof, any Fundamental Change Purchase
Date for such Security, subject to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, any Redemption Date for such security and, subject
to the provisions of Article 5 hereof, any Conversion Date for such Security. Interest on any Security will be payable semi-annually
in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning January 15, 2024, to the Holder of such Security as of the Close of Business
on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. As provided in Section 310 of the Base Indenture,
interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Pursuant to Section 7.04 hereof,
in certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to pay Holders Supplementary Interest.
The Securities will mature on the Maturity Date,
and on the Maturity Date, each Holder of a then Outstanding Security will be entitled on such date to receive $1,000 in cash for each
$1,000 in principal amount of then Outstanding Securities held, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the
Maturity Date on such then Outstanding Securities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the
Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date or any Conversion Date falls, or if any
payment, delivery, notice or other action by the Company is otherwise due, on a day that is not a Business Day, then any action to be
taken on such date need not be taken on such date, but may be taken on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and
effect as if taken on such date, and no additional interest will accrue and no Default shall occur on account of such delay.
(b) Method
of Payment. The Company will pay the principal of, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, the Redemption Price for, and any cash
portion of the Settlement Amount with respect to, any Physical Security to the Holder of such Security in cash at the designated office
of the Paying Agent in the borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, New York, prior to 10:00 a.m. on the relevant payment or
settlement date, as the case may be. The Company will pay any interest on any Physical Security to the Holder of such Security (i) if
such Holder holds $2,000,000 or less aggregate principal amount of Securities, by check mailed to such Holder’s registered address,
and (ii) if such Holder holds more than $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, (A) by check mailed to such Holder’s
registered address or, (B) if such Holder delivers to the Security Registrar a written request that the Company make such payments
by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, for each interest payment corresponding to each Regular Record
Date occurring during the period beginning on the date on which such Holder delivered such request and ending on the date, if any, on
which such Holder delivers to the Security Registrar a written instruction to the contrary, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account specified by such Holder.
The Company will pay the principal of, interest
on, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, the Redemption Price for, and any cash portion of the Settlement Amount with respect to,
any Global Security to the Depository by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the relevant payment date in accordance with
Applicable Procedures.
(c) Defaulted
Payments. The Company shall pay any interest on the Securities that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for,
on the applicable Interest Payment Date, in accordance with Section 307 of the Base Indenture.
Article 3
PURCHASES
Section 3.01 Purchase
at Option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs,
then each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to purchase for cash all of such Holder’s
Securities, or any portion thereof such that the remaining principal amount of each Security that is not purchased in full equals $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, on a date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”) specified
by the Company that is not less than 20 calendar days or more than 35 calendar days following the date on which the Company delivers
the Fundamental Change Company Notice, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”);
provided, however, that if the Company purchases a Security on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular
Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, the Company shall instead pay such
accrued and unpaid interest on such Security on the Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Security as of such Regular
Record Date.
Purchases of Securities under this Section 3.01
shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(1) if
the Securities to be purchased are Physical Securities, delivery to the Paying Agent by the Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A
and of the Securities, duly endorsed for transfer, on or before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, subject to extensions to comply with applicable law (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”);
and
(2) if
the Securities to be purchased are Global Securities, delivery of the Securities, by book-entry transfer, in compliance with the Applicable
Procedures of the Depository and the satisfaction of any other requirements of the Depository in connection with tendering beneficial
interests in a Global Security for purchase, by the Fundamental Change Expiration Time.
The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in respect
of any Securities to be purchased shall state:
(1) if
certificated, the certificate numbers of such Securities;
(2) the
portion of the principal amount of such Securities, which must be such that the principal amount that is not to be purchased of each
Security that is not to be purchased in full equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and
(3) that
such Securities are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities and this Indenture.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.01 shall
have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice at any time prior to the Fundamental Change
Expiration Time by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.03.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(b) On
or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of the Securities,
the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental Change
Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the purchase right at the option of the Holders arising
as a result thereof. Such notice shall be sent by first class mail or, in the case of any Global Securities, in accordance with the procedures
of the Depository for providing notices. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall publish
this information in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish the information on the Company’s website
or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(1) the
events causing the Fundamental Change;

last date on which a Holder of Securities may exercise the purchase right pursuant to this Article 3;

applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate;
(8) that
the Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the
Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with this Indenture;
(9) that
the Holder shall have the right to withdraw any Securities surrendered for purchase prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time;
and
(10) the
procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their Securities.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing
notices and no defect therein shall limit the purchase rights of the Holders of Securities or affect the validity of the proceedings
for the purchase of the Securities pursuant to this Section 3.01.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to this Section 3.01 if the principal amount of the
Securities has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (except
in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect
to such Securities). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Securities held by it during
the acceleration of the Securities (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Securities) and shall deem to be cancelled any instructions for book-entry transfer
of the Securities in compliance with the procedures of the Depository, in which case, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may
be, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Section 3.02 Effect
of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of a Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.01, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change
Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.04)
thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in cash with respect to such Security (and any previously
accrued and unpaid interest on such Security). Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt
of funds by the Paying Agent, on the later of (x) the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided the conditions in Section 3.01
have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery or book-entry transfer of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder
thereof in the manner required by Section 3.01, subject in each case to extensions to comply with applicable law.
Section 3.03 Withdrawal
of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn
(in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change
Company Notice at any time prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time, specifying:
(1) the
principal amount of the Securities with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;
(2) if
Physical Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Securities; and
(3) the
principal amount, if any, of each Security that remains subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which must be such that the
principal amount not to be purchased equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;
provided, however, that if the Securities are Global
Securities, the notice must comply with Applicable Procedures of the Depository.
The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective
Holders thereof any Physical Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with
the provisions of this Section 3.03.
Section 3.04 Deposit
of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental
Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of
them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of money (in immediately available
funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof
that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Paying Agent holds cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental
Change Purchase Price of the Securities for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance
with this Indenture on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, (a) such Securities
will cease to be Outstanding and interest will cease to accrue thereon (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Securities is made
or such Securities have been delivered to the Paying Agent) and (b) all other rights of the Holders in respect thereof will terminate
(other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery or book-entry transfer of such Securities).
Section 3.05 Securities
Purchased in Whole or in Part. Any Security that is to be purchased, whether in whole or
in part, shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires in the case of Physical
Securities, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination
as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security
so surrendered that is not purchased.

Article 4
OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION
Section 4.01 Applicability
of Article 11 of the Base Indenture.
(a) Article 11
of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Securities. Instead, the provisions of this Article 4 shall, with respect to
the Securities, supersede in its entirety Article 11 of the Base Indenture.
Section 4.02 No
Sinking Fund.
(a) Article 12
of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Securities.
Section 4.03 Redemption.
(a) The
Securities shall not be redeemed by the Company prior to April 15, 2027. On or after April 15, 2027, the Company may redeem
the Securities (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash, in whole or from time to time in part, at the Company’s
option, at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to
be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if
the Redemption Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date
relates, the Company will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the Holder of record on such Regular Record Date and
the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed. If a Holder surrenders its Securities
for conversion following the date the Company delivers a Redemption Notice and prior to the related Redemption Date, interest will continue
to accrue until the date on which the Company delivers the Settlement Amount in respect of such Securities that such Holder converts,
and will be payable to the Holder together with the Settlement Amount.
Section 4.04 Notice
of Redemption; Selection of Securities.
(a) If
the Company wishes to exercise its right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities pursuant to Section 4.03,
it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”), and it or, at its written request received by the
Trustee not less than five calendar days prior to the date of the Redemption Notice (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable
to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall provide notice of such Redemption (a “Redemption
Notice”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date by mail or electronic delivery to each
Holder of Securities so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Security Register. The Redemption
Date must be a Business Day.
(b) The
Redemption Notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice by mail or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the
Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption
of any other Security.
(c) Each
Redemption Notice shall specify:
(1) the
Redemption Date;
(2) the
Redemption Price;
(3) that
on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Security to be redeemed, and that interest thereon,
if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(4) the
place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
(5) that
Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Redemption Date;
(6) the
procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Securities and the Specified Dollar Amount, if applicable;
(7) the
then-current Conversion Rate;
(8) the
CUSIP and ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Securities; and
(9) in
case any Security is redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the Redemption
Date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.
(d) A
Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.
(e) If
fewer than all of the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the Securities shall be selected for Optional Redemption (in principal
amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, in the case of Global Securities, and by
lot, in the case of certificated Securities.
(f) In
the event of any redemption in part, the Company shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected
for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.
Section 4.05 Payment
of Securities Called for Redemption.
(a) If
any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Securities in accordance with Section 4.04, the Securities shall become
due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price.
On presentation and surrender of the Securities at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Securities shall be paid
and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
(b) Prior
to the Open of Business on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of
the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 6.05 of the Base Indenture an
amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of
the Securities to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Securities to
be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Securities. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written
demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.
Section 4.06 Restrictions
on Redemption.
(a) The
Company may not redeem any Securities on any date if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration
resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Securities).
Article 5
CONVERSION
Section 5.01 Right
To Convert. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture,
each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert its Securities, or any portion of its Securities such that
the principal amount that remains Outstanding of each Security that is not converted in full equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof, into the Settlement Amount determined in accordance with Section 5.03(a) hereof, (x) prior
to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 15, 2027, only upon satisfaction of one or more of the
conditions described in Section 5.01(b) hereof, and (y) on or after January 15, 2027, at any time prior to
the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
(b) (1) A
Holder may surrender Securities for conversion during any fiscal quarter commencing after September 30, 2023 (and only during such
fiscal quarter) if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during
the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than
or equal to 110% of the Conversion Price in effect on each Trading Day.
(2) A
Holder may surrender Securities for conversion during the five Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the
“Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, as determined following
a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.01(b)(2), for each Trading Day of such
Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (ii) the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. The Trading Price shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant
to this Section 5.01(b)(2) and the definition of “Trading Price” set forth in Section 1.02 hereof.
The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) of the three independent nationally
recognized securities dealers selected by the Company in accordance with the definition of Trading Price, along with the appropriate
contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading
Price of the Securities unless the Company has requested such determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request
(or, if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, to determine the Trading Price of the Securities) unless a Holder of at least $5.0
million principal amount of the Securities provides it with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of
Securities would be less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the next Trading Day and (ii) the
Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent
(if other than the Company) to determine (or, if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine) the Trading
Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading
Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities for a Trading Day is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion
Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. Whenever the condition
to conversion set forth in this Section 5.01(b)(2) has been met, but was not met on the immediately preceding Trading
Day, the Company will so notify the Holders and the Trustee in writing. If, at any time after the condition to conversion set forth in
this Section 5.01(b)(2) has been met, the condition to conversion set forth in this Section 5.01(b)(2) ceases
to be met, the Company will so notify the Holders and the Trustee in writing on the first Trading Day on which such condition ceases
to be met.
(3) If
the Company elects to (x) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options or warrants entitling them
for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock,
at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period
ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or (y) distribute to all or substantially
all holders of the Common Stock the Company’s assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which
distribution has a per-share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price
of the Common Stock on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, then, the
Company must deliver notice of such issuance or distribution, and of the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution, to the Trustee
and the Holders at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Holders may surrender
their Securities for conversion at any time during the period beginning on the 25th Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend
Date for such issuance or distribution and ending on the earlier of (a) the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution or (b) its announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take
place, even if the Securities are not otherwise convertible at such time; provided, however, that Holders may not convert
their Securities pursuant to this Section 5.01(b)(3) if the Company provides that Holders shall participate, at the
same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, and as a result of holding the Securities, in the relevant issuance
or distribution without having to convert their Securities as if they held a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Conversion
Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands)
of Securities held by such Holder on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution.
(4) If
(i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or (ii) the Company is a party to (a) a consolidation, merger, binding share
exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets or (b) a sale, conveyance,
transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, to another
person (other than any of the Company’s Subsidiaries), the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after
the date that is 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date or the anticipated effective date
of such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, as the case may be (or, if later, the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such
transaction) until the Close of Business (i) if such transaction is a Fundamental Change, on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, and, (ii) otherwise, on the 35th Business Day immediately following the effective date for
such transaction. The Company will notify the Holders and the Trustee, in writing, of any such transaction:
(A) as
promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 35 Scheduled Trading
Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction; or
(B) if
the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of
such transaction, within one Business Day of the date upon which the Company receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware, of such transaction,
but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction.
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Securities or this Indenture, no Holder of Securities will be entitled to receive Common Stock following conversion
of such Securities to the extent that receipt of such Common Stock would cause such Holder to exceed the ownership limits contained in
the Company’s charter.
(d) If
any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon conversion of Securities is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of
the limitations described in Section 5.01(c), the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished
and the Company shall deliver such shares as promptly as practicable after any such converting Holder gives notice to the Company that
such delivery would not result in it being the beneficial or constructive owner of more than 9.8% (by value or number, whichever is more
restrictive) of the shares of Common Stock or of the Company’s Capital Stock, outstanding at such time.
(e) If
the Company calls any or all of the Securities for redemption pursuant to Article 4, a Holder of Securities may convert all
or any portion of its Securities called for redemption only until Close of Business, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption
Date. If a portion of a Holder’s Security is selected for partial redemption and such Holder converts a portion of the same Security,
the converted portion will be deemed to be from the portion selected for redemption.
Section 5.02 Conversion
Procedures.
(a) Each
Security shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
of the Depository.
(b) To
exercise the conversion privilege with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Security, the Holder must complete the appropriate
instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depository’s book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by Section 5.02(f) and
any taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 5.02(g), and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion
in accordance with the customary practice of the Depository.
To exercise the conversion privilege with respect
to any Physical Securities, the Holder of such Physical Securities shall:
(1) complete
and manually sign a conversion notice in the form set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (the “Conversion Notice”)
or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;
(2) deliver
the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Security to the Conversion Agent;
(3) if
required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents,
(4) if
required, make any payment required under Section 5.02(f); and
(5) if
required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in Section 5.02(g).
If a Security is subject to a Fundamental Change
Purchase Notice, such Security may not be converted unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.03
hereof prior to the relevant Fundamental Change Expiration Time.
For any Security, the first Business Day on which
the Holder of such Security satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above with respect to such Security and on which conversion
of such Security is not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture shall be the “Conversion Date” with respect to such
Security.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
as to any such Securities (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion at the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date;
provided, however, that the person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion
is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on (i) such Conversion Date (in the case of
Physical Settlement) or (ii) the last Trading Day of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period (in the case of Combination
Settlement) except to the extent required by Section 5.04 hereof. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Security,
the converting Holder shall no longer be the Holder of such Security.
(c) Endorsement.
Any Securities surrendered for conversion shall, unless shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name
as the registration of such Securities, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company duly executed by, the Holder or its duly authorized attorney.
(d) Physical
Securities. If any Securities in a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Securities so surrendered, without charge, new Securities
in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Securities.
(e) Global
Securities. Upon the conversion of a beneficial interest in Global Securities, the Conversion Agent shall make a notation in its
records as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions
of Securities effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(f) Interest
Due Upon Conversion. If a Holder converts a Security after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date but prior to the Open of
Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, such Holder must accompany such Security with an amount
of cash equal to the amount of interest that will payable on such Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided,
however, that a Holder need not make such payment (1) if the Conversion Date follows the Regular Record Date immediately
preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record
Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date and the Holder converts its Security after the Close of Business on such
Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Open of Business on such Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest,
if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Security.
(g) Taxes
Due upon Conversion. If a Holder converts a Security, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax
due on the issue of any shares of the Common Stock upon the conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests that any shares
be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax.
Section 5.03 Settlement
Upon Conversion.
(a) Settlement
Amount. Subject to this Section 5.03, if a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay or deliver to such Holder,
as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, solely cash, solely shares of Common Stock
or a combination of cash and Common Stock (the “Settlement Amount”), at the Company’s election, as set forth
in this Section 5.03.
(1) The
Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the Settlement Amount on the second Trading Day immediately following the last Trading
Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period; provided, that;
(A) if
the Company elects to fulfill its conversion obligation solely in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver such Common Stock
on the second Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date; and
(B) if
prior to the relevant Conversion Date, the Common Stock has been replaced by Reference Property consisting solely of cash, pursuant to
Section 5.07, the Company shall pay such cash on the second Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any information required to calculate the conversion obligation is not available as of the applicable
settlement date, the Company will deliver the additional shares of Common Stock resulting from such adjustment on the second Trading
Day after the earliest Trading Day on which such calculation can be made.
(2) All
conversions during the Final Conversion Period will be settled in the same relative proportions of cash and/or shares of Common Stock
(the “Settlement Method”).
(3) Prior
to the first day of the Final Conversion Period, the Company will elect (or be deemed to have elected) the same Settlement Method for
all conversions occurring on any given Conversion Day. Except for any conversions that occur during the Final Conversion Period, the
Company need not elect the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Conversion Dates.
(4) With
respect to each Conversion Date occurring prior to the Final Conversion Period, the Company shall deliver a notice (each, a “Settlement
Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method not later than the Close of Business on the second Trading Day following the related
Conversion Date. With respect to each Conversion Date occurring during the Final Conversion Period, the Company shall, prior to the Final
Conversion Period, deliver a single Settlement Notice that shall apply to all conversions occurring during the Final Conversion Period.
Each such Settlement Notice shall specify whether the Company shall satisfy its conversion obligation by (i) delivering solely shares
of Common Stock (“Physical Settlement”), (ii) paying solely cash (“Cash Settlement”) or (iii) paying
and delivering, as the case may be, a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock (“Combination Settlement”). In
the case of an election that provides for Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar
Amount. If the Company does not deliver a Settlement Notice within the time periods specified above, or if the Company provides a Settlement
Notice within the time periods specified above and elects Combination Settlement but the Settlement Notice does not specify a Specified
Dollar Amount, the Company will be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount of $1,000. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may, prior to the Final Conversion Period, at its option, irrevocably elect a Settlement Method or a minimum
Specified Dollar Amount for all conversions subsequent to its notice, by written notice of such election to holders in order to provide
that the Company will settle all conversions following such notice by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement, or by Combination Settlement
(or by using a Specified Dollar Amount that is equal to at least such minimum Specified Dollar Amount).
(5) The
Settlement Amount in respect of any conversion shall be computed as follows:
(A) if
the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such conversion through Physical Settlement, the Company will deliver
to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (1) (i) the aggregate principal amount of Securities to
be converted, divided by (ii) $1,000, multiplied by (2) the then-applicable Conversion Rate on the date the converting
Holder becomes a record owner of Common Stock pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5.02(b);
(B) if
the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such conversion through Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay
to the converting Holder cash in an amount per $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion
Values for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period; and
(C) if
the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation in respect of such conversion through Combination Settlement, the Company shall
pay and deliver to the converting Holder, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted,
a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Cash
Settlement Averaging Period.
(6) The
“Daily Settlement Amount” for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging
Period, will consist of:
(A) cash
equal to the lesser of (i) a dollar amount per Security to be received upon conversion as specified by the Company in the Settlement
Notice (the “Specified Dollar Amount”), if any, divided by 20 (such quotient being referred to as the “Daily
Measurement Value”) and (ii) the Daily Conversion Value; and
(B) to
the extent the Daily Conversion Value for such Trading Day exceeds the Daily Measurement Value for such Trading Day, a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to (i) the difference between the Daily Conversion Value and the Daily Measurement Value, divided by
(ii) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock for such Trading Day.
(7) In
the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement, the Settlement Amount shall be determined by the Company promptly following the
last day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period. Promptly after such determination of the Settlement Amount and the amount of cash deliverable
in lieu of fractional shares (if any), the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the Daily Settlement Amounts
or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash deliverable in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock.
The Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to rely exclusively on the notice given by the Company and shall have no responsibility
for any such determination.
(b) Fractional
Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock as part of the Settlement Amount
due with respect to any converted Security in respect of which shares of Common Stock are deliverable. Instead, if any such Settlement
Amount includes a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company will, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock,
pay an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction of a share and (ii) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the
relevant Conversion Data (in the case of Physical Settlement) or on the last Trading Day of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging
Period (in the case of Combination Settlement), subject in each case to the following paragraph.
If a Holder surrenders more than one Security
for conversion on a single Conversion Date, the Company will calculate the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock due
with respect to such Securities as if such Holder had surrendered for conversion one Security having an aggregate principal amount equal
to the sum of the principal amounts of each of the Securities surrendered for conversion by such Holder on such Conversion Date.
(c) Settlement
of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal. If a Holder converts a Security, the Company will not adjust the Conversion
Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Security and the Company’s delivery of the amount of cash and the number
of shares of Common Stock, if any, into which a Security is convertible will be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the Company’s
obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Security to, but excluding, the Conversion Date;
provided, however, that if a Holder converts a Security after a Regular Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on
the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will still be obligated to pay the interest due on such Interest Payment Date to
the Holder of such Security on such Regular Record Date (provided the Holder makes the interest payment upon conversion if so required
by Section 5.02(f)).
As a result, except as otherwise provided in the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to a converted Security will be deemed to
be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. In addition, if the Settlement Amount for any Security includes both
cash and shares of the Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the amount of cash delivered
upon such conversion. In no event will a Holder be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to any Common
Stock issued on conversion of such Holder’s Securities if the applicable Conversion Date is after the Regular Record Date for such
dividend or distribution. Prior to the settlement of any conversion in accordance with this Section 5.03, a Holder shall
not be the owner of any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Securities.
(d) Notices.
Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Security, the Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in no event later
than the Business Day immediately following such Conversion Date, deliver to the Company and the Trustee, if it is not then the Conversion
Agent, notice that a Conversion Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the principal amount of Securities converted
on such Conversion Date and the names of the Holders that converted Securities on such Conversion Date.
Section 5.04 Adjustment
of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as described in this Section 5.04,
except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate (other than in the case of a share
split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and as a result of holding the Securities,
in any of the transactions described below without having to convert their Securities, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such
Holder.
(a) If
the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common
Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where,
|
CR0 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business
on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such
share split or combination, as applicable; |
|
CR1 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend
Date or such effective date; |
|
OS0 |
= |
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business
on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date, as applicable, before giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split
or share combination; and |
|
OS1 |
= |
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to
such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as applicable. |
Any adjustment made under this Section 5.04(a) shall
become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after
the Open of Business on the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described
in this Section 5.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective
as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution to the Conversion Rate that would then be in
effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) If
the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period
of not more than 45 calendar days after the date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price
per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending
on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate will be increased
based on the following formula:
|
CR1 |
= |
CR0 x |
OS0
+ X |
|
|
|
|
|
OS0 + Y |
|
where,
|
CR0 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business
on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; |
|
CR1 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend
Date; |
|
OS0 |
= |
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business
on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
|
X |
= |
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options
or warrants; and |
|
Y |
= |
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise
such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive
Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such
rights, options or warrants. |
Any increase made under this Section 5.04(b) will
be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of
Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their
expiration or shares of Common Stock are not delivered upon the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall
be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options
or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options
or warrants are not so issued, or if such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate
shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 5.04(b) and
Section 5.01(b)(3) hereof, in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Common
Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices
of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement
for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of the 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.
(c) If
the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights,
options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(1) dividends
or distributions, rights options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 5.04(a) hereof
or Section 5.04(b) hereof;
(2) dividends
or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 5.04(d) hereof;
and
(3) Spin-Offs
as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 5.04(c) shall apply; then the Conversion Rate shall be increased
based on the following formula:
|
CR1 |
= |
CR0 x |
SP0 |
|
|
|
|
|
SP0 - FMV |
|
where,
|
CR0 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business
on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
|
CR1 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend
Date; |
|
SP0 |
= |
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive
Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and |
|
FMV |
= |
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of the
Company’s Capital Stock, evidences the Company’s indebtedness, other assets, or property of the Company or rights, options
or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities distributed with respect to each outstanding share of
the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
If “FMV” (as defined above) is equal
to or greater than the “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Securities shall receive,
in respect of 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 and kind of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, other assets or property
of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities that such Holder would
have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date
for the distribution.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 5.04(c) will
become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so
paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be 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 5.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of
Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary of the Company or other business unit
of the Company, and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation
of the distribution) on a United States national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased
based on the following formula:
|
CR1 |
= |
CR0 x |
FMV0
+ MP0 |
|
|
|
|
|
MP0 |
|
where,
|
CR0 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business
on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; |
|
CR1 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such Spin-Off; |
|
FMV0 |
= |
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity
interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day
period after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and |
|
MP0 |
= |
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period. |
The adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate
under the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.04(c) will be made immediately after the Open of Business on the day
after the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the
Spin-Off. If the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Cash Settlement
Averaging Period in respect of any conversion, references within this Section 5.04(c) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed
replaced, for purposes of calculating the affected Daily Conversion Values in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of
Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such
Cash Settlement Averaging Period. For purposes of determining the applicable Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the
10 Trading Days commencing on the Ex-Dividend Date for any Spin-Off, references within the portion of this Section 5.04(c) related
to “Spin-Offs” to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from,
and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, the relevant Conversion Date.
For purposes of the second adjustment set forth
in this clause 5.04(c), (i) the Last Reported Sale Price of any Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be calculated
in a manner analogous to that used to calculate the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock in the definition of “Last Reported
Sale Price” set forth in Section 1.02 hereof, (ii) whether a day is a Trading Day (and whether a day is a Scheduled
Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for such Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be determined
in a manner analogous to that used to determine whether a day is a Trading Day (or whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether
a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for the Common Stock, and (iii) whether a day is a Trading Day to be included in a Valuation
Period will be determined based on whether a day is a Trading Day for both the Common Stock and such Capital Stock or similar equity
interest.
Subject to Section 5.04(g), for the
purposes of this Section 5.04(c), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances),
which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (1) are
deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future
issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.04(c), (and no adjustment
to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event,
whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required)
to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 5.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, distributed prior
to the date of this Supplemental Indenture are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become
exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each
such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date of such deemed distribution (in which case the original
rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders). 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 5.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options
or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase
(x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion
Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as
though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by holders of Common Stock with respect
to such rights, options or warrants (assuming each such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of
Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants which shall
have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and
warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 5.04(a) hereof,
Section 5.04(b) hereof and this Section 5.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 5.04(c) applies
includes one or both of:
(A) a
dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 5.04(a) hereof also applies (the “Clause
A Distribution”); or
(B) a
dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 5.04(b) hereof also applies (the “Clause
B Distribution”),
then (i) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A
Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 5.04(c) applies
(the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required to be made under this Section 5.04(c) with
respect to such Clause C Distribution shall be made, (ii) the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately
follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 5.04(b) hereof with respect
thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company, (A) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause B
Distribution and the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution
and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or the Clause B Distribution shall not be deemed
to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 5.04(b) hereof,
and (iii) the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution or the Clause B
Distribution, as the case may be, except that, if determined by the Company, (A) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the
Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C
Distribution, and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A distribution shall not be deemed to be “outstanding
immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date” within the meaning of Section 5.04(a) hereof.
(d) If
any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate of
all such cash dividends or distributions paid in any quarter exceeds the dividends threshold amount (the “DTA”) for
such quarter, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where,
|
CR0 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business
on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
|
CR1 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution; |
|
SP0 |
= |
the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
|
DTA |
= |
the dividend threshold amount, which shall initially be $0.48 per quarter; and |
|
C |
= |
the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock
in excess of the DTA. |
The DTA is subject to adjustment on an inversely
proportional basis whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted other than adjustments made pursuant to this Section 5.04(d).
If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 5.04(d) as a result of a distribution that is not
a regular quarterly dividend, the DTA will be deemed to be zero with respect to that particular adjustment.
If “C” (as defined above) is equal
to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000
principal amount of Securities it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount
of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate
on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution. Such increase shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business
on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall
be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(e) If
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent
that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale
Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following
formula:
|
CR1 |
= |
CR0 x |
AC + (SP1
x OS1) |
|
|
|
|
|
OS0 x SP1 |
|
where,
|
CR0 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business
on the Offer Expiration Date; |
|
CR1 |
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business the Offer Expiration
Date; |
|
AC |
= |
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 offer or exchange offer; |
|
OS0 |
= |
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration
time of the tender or exchange offer on the Offer Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted
for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer); |
|
OS1 |
|
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration time
of the tender or exchange offer on the Offer Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase
or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and |
|
SP1 |
|
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive
Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. |
The adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate
under the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.04(e) will be given effect at the Open of Business on the Trading Day
next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. If the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date is less than 10 Trading Days
prior to, and including, the end of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period in respect of any conversion, references within this Section 5.04(e) to
10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced, for purposes of calculating the affected Daily Conversion Values in respect of that conversion,
with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date
to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period. For purposes of determining the applicable Conversion
Rate, in respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date,
references within this Section 5.04(e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading
Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date to, and including, the relevant Conversion
Date.
(f) Special
Settlement Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein with respect to converted Securities as to which Combination
Settlement is applicable, if a Holder converts a Security and the Daily Settlement Amount for any Trading Day during the Cash Settlement
Averaging Period applicable to such Security:
(1) is
calculated based on a Conversion Rate adjusted on account of any event described in Sections 5.04(a) through (e) hereof;
and
(2) includes
any shares of Common Stock that, but for this provision, would entitle their holder to participate in such event;
then, although the Company will otherwise treat such Holder as the
holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period, the Company will not
permit such Holder to participate in such event on account of such shares of Common Stock.
In addition, if a Holder converts a Security to
which Combination Settlement is applicable and:
(1) the
record date, effective date or Offer Expiration Date for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under any of Sections 5.04(a) through
(e) hereof occurs:
(A) on
or after the first Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period; and
(B) on
or prior to the last Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period; and
(2) the
Daily Settlement Amount for any Trading Day in such Cash Settlement Averaging Period that occurs on or prior to such record date, effective
date or Offer Expiration Date:
(A) includes
shares of the Common Stock that do not entitle their holder to participate in such event; and
(B) is
calculated based on a Conversion Rate that is not adjusted on account of such event;
then on account of such conversion, the Company will, on such record
date, effective date or Offer Expiration Date, treat such Holder, as a result of having converted such Securities, as though it were
the record holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock that:
(1) are
deliverable as part of the Daily Settlement Amount:
(A) for
a Trading Day in such Cash Settlement Averaging Period that occurs on or prior to such record date, effective date or Offer Expiration
Date; and
(B) is
calculated based on a Conversion Rate that is not adjusted for such event; and
(2) if
not for this provision, would not entitle such Holder to participate in such event.
In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, with respect to any Securities as to which Physical Settlement is applicable, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes
effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described above, and a Holder that has converted its Securities on or after such Ex-Dividend Date
and on or prior to the related Regular Record Date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related
Conversion Date in accordance with the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5.02(b) based on an adjusted Conversion
Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the foregoing Conversion Rate adjustment provisions, the Conversion Rate adjustment
relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder
were the record owners of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or
other event giving rise to such adjustment.
(g) Poison
Pill. Whenever a Holder converts a Security, to the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect, the Holder converting such
Security will receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock otherwise received in connection with such conversion, the rights under
the rights plan unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will
be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences
of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants as described in Section 5.04(c) hereof, subject to readjustment
in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
(h) Deferral
of Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except on and after the first Trading Day of any Cash Settlement
Averaging Period with respect to a Security and on or prior to the last Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period, the Company
will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent;
provided, however, that any such minor adjustments that are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has
not been made shall be made upon the occurrence of (i) the Effective Date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, (ii) if the
Company calls the Securities for Optional Redemption, (iii) the first Trading Day of any Cash Settlement Averaging Period and (iv) if
the Company elects to satisfy its conversion obligation solely in shares of Common Stock, upon any conversion of Securities. In addition,
the Company shall not account for such deferrals when determining whether any of the conditions to conversion have been satisfied or
what number of shares of Common Stock a Holder would have held on a given day had it converted its Securities.
(i) Limitation
on Adjustments. Except as stated in this Section 5.04, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance
of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares
of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. If, however, the application of the formulas in Sections 5.04(a) through
(e) hereof would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, then, except to the extent of any readjustment to the Conversion
Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split, share combination or readjustment).
In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:
(1) on
account of stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in Section 5.04(e) hereof, including structured
or derivative transactions, or transactions pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors or otherwise;
(2) upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest
payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(3) 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, program or agreement of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(4) upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security
not described in the preceding clause (3) and outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued;
(5) for
a change in the par value of the Common Stock;
(6) for
accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities, if any; or
(7) for
an event otherwise requiring an adjustment under this Indenture if such event is not consummated.
(j) For
purposes of this Section 5.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held
in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held
in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares
of Common Stock.
(k) Withholding
on Adjustments. If, in connection with any adjustment to the Conversion Rate as set forth in this Section 5.04 a Holder
shall be deemed for U.S. federal tax purposes to have received a distribution, the Company may set off any withholding tax it reasonably
believes it is required to collect with respect to any such deemed distribution against cash payments of interest in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.04 hereof or from cash and Common Stock, if any, otherwise deliverable to a Holder upon a conversion
of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.03 hereof or repurchase of a Security in accordance with the
provisions of Article 3 hereof.
Section 5.05 Discretionary
and Voluntary Adjustments.
(a) Discretionary
Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily
VWAPs or any function thereof over a span of multiple days (including during a Cash Settlement Averaging Period), the Company will make
appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Effective Date, Ex-Dividend Date or Offer Expiration Date of the event occurs, at any time
during the period when such Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or function thereof is to be calculated.
(b) Voluntary
Adjustments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is permitted to increase the Conversion Rate of the Securities
by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s
best interest. The Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders
of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire
shares) or similar event.
Section 5.06 Adjustment
to Conversion Rate Upon Conversion in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(a) Increase
in the Conversion Rate. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Securities in connection with
such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under certain circumstances, increase the Conversion Rate for the Securities so
surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described
in this Section 5.06. A conversion of Securities shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with”
a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent during the period from, and including,
the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately prior
to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is not a Fundamental Change, the 35th Business
Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(b) Cash
Mergers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the consideration paid to holders of the Common Stock in any Make-Whole
Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change is comprised entirely of cash, then, for
any conversion of Securities following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the payment and delivery obligations
upon the conversion of a Security shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall,
for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities converted, be deemed to be an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the Conversion
Rate in effect on the applicable Conversion Date (as increased by any number of Additional Shares required by this Section 5.06)
multiplied by (ii) such Stock Price. In such event, the Company will pay such amount of cash to a converting Holder on the
second Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date. Otherwise, the Company will settle any conversion of the Securities following
the Effective Date for a Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof (but subject to Section 5.07
hereof).
(c) Determining
the Number of Additional Shares. The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased for a Holder
that converts its Securities in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table attached
as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective
Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole
Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of
the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(d) Interpolation
and Limits. The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table in Schedule A, in which case:
(1) If
the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number
of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher
and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
(2) If
the Stock Price is greater than $30.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column
headings of the table in Schedule A pursuant to Section 5.06(d)(4) hereof), the Conversion Rate shall not
be increased.
(3) If
the Stock Price is less than $18.45 per share (subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column
headings of the table in Schedule A pursuant to Section 5.06(d)(4) hereof), the Conversion Rate shall not
be increased.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will
the Conversion Rate be increased on account of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change to exceed 54.2005 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal
amount of Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted as set forth in Section 5.04
hereof.
(4) The
Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which
the Conversion Rate of the Securities is otherwise required to be adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable
immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior
to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The
number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate
is required to be adjusted as set forth in Section 5.04.
(e) Notices.
The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release
announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
Section 5.07 Effect
of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) Merger
Events. In the case of:
(1) any
recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value,
or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination for which an adjustment was made pursuant to
Section 5.04(a) hereof);
(2) any
consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;
(3) any
sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety;
or
(4) any
statutory share exchange;
and, in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be
converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any
such event, a “Merger Event,” any such stock, other securities, other property or assets, “Reference Property,”
and the amount of kind of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock (i) is entitled to receive in the applicable
Merger Event or (ii) if as a result of the applicable Merger Event, each share of Common Stock is converted into the right to receive
more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the per-share of Common Stock
weighted average of the types and amounts of Reference Property actually received by the holders of Common Stock, a “Unit of
Reference Property”) then, at the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of
Securities based on a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate will, without the consent of the Holders,
be changed into a right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities based on a number of Units of Reference Property equal
to the applicable Conversion Rate 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 (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act
as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal
amount of Securities; provided, however, that (i) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Securities in
accordance with Sections 5.03 and 5.06 hereof shall continue to be payable in cash, (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with Sections 5.03
and 5.06 hereof shall instead be deliverable in Units of Reference Property and (iii) the Daily VWAP and the Last Reported
Sale Price will, to the extent reasonably possible, be calculated based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property and the definitions
of Trading Day and Market Disruption Event shall be determined by reference to the components of 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 part upon any
form of stockholder election) as contemplated by the preceding paragraph such that a Unit of Reference Property will be deemed to be
the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of the Common Stock per share of Common
Stock in the Merger Event in such transaction, the Company shall notify Holders of such types and amounts of consideration as soon as
practicable after such determination is made.
The Company shall not become a party to any Merger
Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.07. Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately
preceding paragraph shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Article 5
in the judgment of the Board of Directors or the board of directors of the successor person. If, in the case of any such Merger Event,
the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets
(including cash or any combination thereof) of a person other than the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, in such Merger
Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other person.
(b) Notice
of Supplemental Indentures. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder,
at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Securities maintained by the Security Registrar, within 20 days after
execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above
provisions of this Section 5.07 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 5.08 Stock
Issued Upon Conversion.
(a) Reservation
of Shares. To the extent necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Indenture, prior to issuing any shares of Common Stock,
the Company will reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit
the conversion of the Securities.
(b) Certain
other Covenants. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Securities shall be
newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from
preemptive rights and free from any tax, lien or charge (other than those created by the Holder or due to a change in registered owner).
The Company shall list or cause to have quoted
any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Securities on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other
domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
Section 5.09 Responsibility
of Trustee. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty
or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist
that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation
of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed,
in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the
kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or of any other securities or property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered
upon the conversion of any Securities; and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither
the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure by the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of
Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Securities for the purpose of conversion
or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 5. The rights,
privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed,
and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity
as Conversion Agent.
Section 5.10 Notice
to Holders.
(a) Notice
to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. The Company shall deliver notices of the events specified below at the times specified below
and containing the information specified below unless, in each case, (i) pursuant to this Indenture, the Company is already required
to deliver notice of such event containing at least the information specified below at an earlier time or, (ii) the Company, at
the time it is required to deliver a notice, does not have knowledge of all of the information required to be included in such notice,
in which case, the Company shall (A) deliver notice at such time containing only the information that it has knowledge of at such
time (if it has knowledge of any such information at such time), and (B) promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any such information
not already included in a notice delivered by the Company, deliver notice to each Holder containing such information. In each case, the
failure by the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
(1) Issuances,
Distributions, and Dividends and Distributions. If the Company (A) announces any issuance of any rights, options or warrants
that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.04(b) hereof; (B) authorizes any
distribution that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.04(c) hereof (including any
separation of rights from the Common Stock described in Section 5.04(g) hereof); or (C) announces any dividend
or distribution that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.04(d) hereof, then the
Company shall deliver to the Holders, as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Ex-Dividend
Date, notice describing such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be, and stating the expected Ex-Dividend
Date and record date for such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall deliver
to the Holders notice if the consideration included in such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, or the Ex-Dividend Date
or record date of such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be, changes.
(2) Voluntary
Increases. If the Company increases the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(b), the Company shall deliver notice
to the Holders at least 15 calendar days prior to the date on which such increase will become effective, which notice shall state the
date on which such increased will become effective and the amount by which the Conversion Rate will be increased.
(3) Dissolutions,
Liquidations and Winding-Ups. If there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Company
shall deliver notice to the Holders as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 calendar days prior to the earlier of (i) the
date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, is expected to become effective or occur, and (ii) the
date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities
or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, which notice shall state the expected
effective date and record date for such event, as applicable, and the amount and kind of property that a holder of one share of the Common
Stock is expected to be entitled, or may elect, to receive in such event. The Company shall deliver an additional notice to holders,
as promptly as practicable, whenever the expected effective date or record date, as applicable, or the amount and kind of property that
a holder of one share of the Common Stock is expect to be entitled to receive in such event, changes.
(b) Notices
After Certain Actions and Events. Whenever an adjustment to the Conversion Rate becomes effective pursuant to Sections 5.04,
5.05 or 5.06 hereof, the Company will (i) file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such adjustment
has become effective, the Conversion Rate, and the manner in which the adjustment was computed and (ii) deliver notice to the Holder’s
stating that such adjustment has become effective and the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege as adjusted. Failure to give any such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment.

Section 6.02 shall replace Section 1001 of the Base Indenture in its entirety.
The Company covenants and agrees that it will

Section 6.03 Maintenance
of Office or Agency. This Section 6.03 replaces Section 1002 of the Base

references to this Section 6.03.
The Company will maintain an office of the Paying

Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.
If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency
of the Trustee.
The Company may also from time to time designate
coregistrars 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; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve
the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The terms “Paying Agent”
and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.

Procedures of the Depository for such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the Place of Payment for such Global Security
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 6.04 Appointments
to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or
fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 608 of the Base Indenture, a Trustee, so
that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.
Section 6.05 Provisions
as to Paying Agent. This Section 6.05 shall replace Section 1003 of the
Base Indenture in its entirety and references in the Base Indenture to Section 1003 of the Base Indenture shall be deemed replace
with references to this Section 6.05.
(a) If
the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.05:
(1) that
it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Fundamental
Change Purchase Price for, and the Redemption Price for, the Securities in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities;

it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, or the Redemption Price for, the Securities when the same shall be due and payable;
and
(3) that
at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums
so held in trust.
The Company shall, on or before each due date
of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, and the Redemption Price for, the
Securities, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, accrued and unpaid interest, Fundamental Change Purchase
Price or Redemption Price, as the case may be, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee
of any failure to take such action, provided that, if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the Paying
Agent by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.
(b) If
the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for or Redemption Price for, the Securities, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for
the benefit of the holders of the Securities a sum sufficient to pay such principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, Fundamental
Change Purchase Price or Redemption Price, as the case may be, so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any
failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on,
Fundamental Change Purchase Price for or Redemption Price for, the Securities when the same shall become due and payable.
(c) Anything
in this Section 6.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company
or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 6.05, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein
contained and upon such payment by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such sums.
Section 6.06 Reports.
This Section 6.06 will replace Section 703 of the Base Indenture in its entirety.
The Company will file with the Trustee, within
15 days after it is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the quarterly and annual reports and of the information, documents
and other reports, if any, that it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and
to otherwise comply with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any such report, information or document that the Company
files with the SEC through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee for the purposes
of this Section 6.06 at the time of such filing through the EDGAR system (or such successor thereto).
Delivery of any such reports, information and
documents to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents
shall not constitute 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 Officers’
Certificates).
Section 6.07 Statements
as to Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible, and in any
event within thirty days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default, its status and the action that the Company proposes to take with respect
thereto. Such Officers’ Certificate shall also comply with any additional requirements set forth in Section 102 of the Base
Indenture.
Section 6.08 Supplementary
Interest Notice. If Supplementary Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 7.04
hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (a) the amount of such
Supplementary Interest that is payable and (b) the date on which such interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Supplementary
Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Supplementary Interest directly to the Persons entitled to them, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 6.09 Covenant
to Take Certain Actions. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate such that the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities would be less than
the par value of the Common Stock, the Company shall take all corporate actions that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
so it may validly and legally issue shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.
Section 6.10 Future
Subsidiary Guarantees. The Company shall cause each Subsidiary that guarantees payment by
the Company of any unsecured debt securities of the Company issued by the Company in an offering registered pursuant to the Securities
Act or in an offering exempt from such registration pursuant to Rule 144A and/or Regulation S thereunder to execute and deliver
to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.01 under which such Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the
Securities on terms substantially similar to the guarantee of such debt securities. If any such Subsidiary shall no longer provide such
a guarantee with respect to any such debt securities, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01
a further supplemental indenture in order to remove such guarantee of the Securities by such Subsidiary.
Article 7

the Company or such Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any substantial part of the Company’s or such Significant Subsidiary
of the Company’s property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official
in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due; or
(i) an
involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company seeking liquidation,
reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or such Significant Subsidiary of the Company or its debts under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or
other similar official of the Company or such Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any substantial part of its property, and such
involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of thirty consecutive days.
Section 7.03 Acceleration;
Rescission and Annulment. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or
pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body),
then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.02(h) or Section 7.02(i) with
respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company)), unless the principal of all of the
Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare 100%
of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of
Default specified in Section 7.02(h) or Section 7.02(i) with respect to the Company (and not solely
with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on all Securities shall be immediately due and payable.
Section 7.04 Supplementary
Interest.
(a) Notwithstanding
any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to (i) the
Company’s failure to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any documents or
reports that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) the
Company’s failure to comply with Section 6.06 hereof (a “Reporting Event of Default”), will consist
exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Securities (the “Supplementary Interest”) at a rate
per year equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the Outstanding principal amount of the Securities for the first 180 days of the 360-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
and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the Outstanding principal amount of the Securities for the last 180 days of such 360-day period as long
as such Event of Default is continuing. If the Company so elects, such Supplemental Interest will be payable in the same manner and on
the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities. On the 361st day after such Event of Default (if the Reporting Event
of Default is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), the Securities will be subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 7.03.
The provisions of this Section 7.04 will not affect the rights of Holders of Securities in the event of the occurrence of
any Event of Default that is not a Reporting Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Supplemental Interest
following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 7.04 or the Company elected to make such payment but do not
pay the Supplemental Interest when due, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 7.03.
(b) In
order to elect to pay the Supplemental Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Reporting Event
of Default, the Company must notify all Holders of Securities, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning
of such 180-day period. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration
as provided in Section 7.03.
Section 7.05 Waiver
of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive (including by way of consents obtained in connection
with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, the Securities) all past Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Securities
(other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from nonpayment of principal or interest, a failure to deliver consideration due
upon conversion or any other provisions that requires the consent of each affected Holder to amend) and rescind any such acceleration
with respect to the Securities and its consequences if (i) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court
of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, and interest on,
the Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration have been cured or waived.
Section 7.06 Control
by Majority. At any time, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of
the then Outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or for exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts
with law or this Indenture or, subject to the Trustee’s duties under Article 6 of the Base Indenture and the Trust Indenture
Act, that the Trustee determines to be unduly prejudicial to the rights of a Holder or to the Trustee, or that would potentially involve
the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s instituting such proceeding as the Trustee. Prior to taking
any action hereunder, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against all losses and expenses caused
by taking or not taking such action.
Section 7.07 Limitation
on Suits. Subject to Section 7.08 hereof, no Holder may pursue a remedy with
respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:
(a) such
Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) the
Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities deliver to the Trustee a written request
that the Trustee pursue a remedy with respect to such Event of Default;
(c) such
Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any
loss, liability or other expense of compliance with such written request;
(d) the
Trustee has not complied with such written request within 60 days after receipt of such written request and offer of indemnity; and
(e) during
such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities did not deliver to
the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice
the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holder, it being understood that the Trustee does
not have any affirmative duty to ascertain whether any usage of this Indenture by a Holder is unduly prejudicial to such other Holders.
Section 7.08 Rights
of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere
in this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for,
or Redemption Price for, its Securities, on or after the respective due date, and to convert its Securities and receive payment or delivery
of the consideration due with respect to such Securities in accordance with Article 5 hereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement
of any such payment or conversion rights, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder and will not be subject
to the requirements of Section 7.07 hereof.
Section 7.09 Collection
of Indebtedness; Suit for Enforcement by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.02(a),
7.02(b) or 7.02(c) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase
Price for, Redemption Price for, and the amount of cash or the combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, as the case may
be, due upon the conversion of, the Securities, as the case may be, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, as
well as any other amounts that may be due under Section 606 of the Base Indenture.
Section 7.10 Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims
under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities
or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its
own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 7.11 Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, will be entitled
to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee consents
to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to 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 607 of the
Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606 of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding,
will be denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien on, and is paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,
money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding, whether in liquidation or under
any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize
or consent to, or to accept or to adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
the Securities or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 7.12 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights
and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 7.13 Rights
and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 306 of the Base Indenture, no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent
the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 7.14 Delay
or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise
any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 7 or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee (subject to the limitations contained
in this Indenture) or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 7.15 Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 7, it will pay out the money in the following order:
FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys
for amounts due under Section 606 of the Base Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred,
and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
SECOND: to the Holders, for any amounts due and
unpaid on the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, Redemption Price for, and any cash
due upon conversion of, any Security, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on all of
the Securities; and
THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company or
to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment
date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 7.15. If the Trustee so fixes a record date and a payment date,
at least 15 days prior to such record date, the Company will deliver to each Holder and the Trustee a written notice, which notice will
state such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment.
Section 7.16 Undertaking
for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder, by such Holder’s
acceptance of a Security, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of
this Section 7.16 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of
Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, or to any suit instituted
by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, Fundamental Change Purchase
Price for, or Redemption Price for, any Security on or after the due date expressed or provided for in this Indenture or to any suit
for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 hereof.
Section 7.17 Waiver
of Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants that, to the extent that it may
lawfully do so, 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, that may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; 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 instead suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
Section 7.18 Notices
from the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture, including
Section 601 of the Base Indenture, whenever a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must deliver
notice of such Default to the Holders within 90 days after the date on which such Default first occurred. Except in the case of a Default
in the payment of the principal of, interest on, Fundamental Change Purchase Price for or Redemption Price for, any Security or of a
Default in the payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the consideration due upon conversion of a Security, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors
and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.
Article 8
SATISFACTION
AND DISCHARGE
Section 8.01 Inapplicability
of Provisions of Base Indenture; Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture. Article 14
of the Base Indenture shall not apply with respect to the Securities. The provisions set forth in this Article 8 shall, with
respect to the Securities, supersede in their entirety Article 4 of the Base Indenture.
When (a) the Company shall deliver to the
Security Registrar for cancellation all Securities theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities that have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Securities shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore
canceled, or (b) all the Securities not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due
and payable (whether on the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date, on any Fundamental Change Purchase Date, upon conversion or otherwise)
and the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in trust, or deliver to the Holders, as applicable, an amount of cash or the combination
of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, as the case may be (solely to settle amounts due with respect to outstanding conversions),
sufficient to pay all amounts due on all of such Securities (other than any Securities that shall have been mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Securities shall have been authenticated and delivered) not theretofore canceled
or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due, accompanied, except in the event the Securities are
due and payable solely in cash at the Maturity Date or upon an earlier Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, by a verification
report as to the sufficiency of the deposited amount from an independent certified accountant or other financial professional reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then
this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to (i) rights hereunder of Holders to receive all amounts owing upon
the Securities and the other rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the amounts, if any,
so deposited with the Trustee and (ii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on written
demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse
the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee, including the fees and expenses of
its counsel, and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection
with this Indenture or the Securities.
Section 8.02 Deposited
Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 8.04 hereof, all monies
and shares of Common Stock, if any, deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof shall be held in trust for
the sole benefit of the Holders of the Securities, and such monies and shares of Common Stock shall be applied by the Trustee to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the
particular Securities for the payment or settlement of which such monies or shares of Common Stock have been deposited with the Trustee,
of all sums or amounts due and to become due thereon for principal and interest, if any.
Section 8.03 Paying
Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies
and shares of Common Stock, if any, then held by any Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company,
be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such monies and shares of Common Stock.
Section 8.04 Return
of Unclaimed Monies. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies and shares
of Common Stock deposited with or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Securities and not
applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders of the Securities for two years after the date upon which the principal of or interest,
if any, on such Securities, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand,
and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies and shares of Common Stock; and the Holder shall thereafter
look only to the Company for any payment or delivery that such Holder may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property
law designates another person.
Section 8.05 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 8.02
by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application,
the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money and shares
of Common Stock in accordance with Section 8.02; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of
interest on, principal of or payment or delivery in respect of any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or shares of Common Stock,
if any, held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

of Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such Act or consent shall approve the substance thereof. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date
for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders
on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such consent shall have become effective
by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent
previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.
Section 9.03 Notice
of Amendment or Supplement. After an amendment or supplement under this Article 9
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. However, the failure
to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or supplement.
Article 10
SUCCESSOR

Merger and Sale of Assets.

(a) the
Company shall be the surviving Person or the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”),
if not the Company, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed
and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this
Indenture as applicable to the Securities; and
(b) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture.
Section 10.03 Successor

and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as

to be issued as may be appropriate.

NEW YORK CIVIL PRACTICE LAWS AND RULES 327(B).
Section 11.03 No
Security Interest Created. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to constitute a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as now or hereafter
enacted and in effect, in any jurisdiction.
Section 11.04 Trust
Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of
the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control.
If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded,
the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.
Section 11.05 Benefits
of Supplemental Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 110
of the Base Indenture, nothing in this Supplemental Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, will give to any Person, other

Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Company shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Securities.
These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock, accrued interest
payable on the Securities and the Conversion Rate. The Company shall make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error,
the Company’s calculations shall be final and binding on Holders of Securities. The Company shall provide a schedule of its calculations

Section 11.07 Execution
in Counterparts. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.08 Notices.
The Company or the Trustee, by notice given to the other in the manner provided in Section 105 of the Base Indenture, may designate
additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections
105 and 106 of the Base Indenture, whenever the Company is required to deliver notice to the Holders, the Company will, by the date it
is required to deliver such notice to the Holders, deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar
and the Conversion Agent. Each notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Security Registrar and the Conversion Agent shall be sufficiently
given if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid to the address most recently sent by the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Security
Registrar or the Conversion Agent, as the case may be, to the Company.
The Trustee and Conversion Agent shall have the
right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to the Indenture
and delivered using Electronic Means (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee and Conversion
Agent 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 and Conversion Agent Instructions
using Electronic Means and the Trustee and Conversion Agent, each in their discretion elect to act upon such Instructions, their understanding
of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee and Conversion Agent cannot
determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee and Conversion Agent shall conclusively presume
that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee
and Conversion Agent 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 Conversion Agent 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 and Conversion Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly
from their 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 and Conversion Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee and Conversion Agent 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 Conversion Agent 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 and Conversion Agent immediately upon learning of any
compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. "Electronic Means" shall mean the following communications methods:
e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication
keys issued by the Trustee and Conversion Agent, or another method or system specified by the Trustee and Conversion Agent as available
for use in connection with its services hereunder.
Section 11.09 Ratification
of Base Indenture. The Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, is
in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed part of the Base Indenture in the manner and
to the extent herein provided. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Company and each Holder of Securities, by its acceptance of such
Securities, acknowledges and agrees that all of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits afforded to the Trustee
under the Base Indenture are deemed to be incorporated herein, and shall be enforceable by the Trustee hereunder, in each of its capacities
hereunder as if set forth herein in full.
Section 11.10 The
Trustee. The recitals in this Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not
by the Trustee, and all of the provisions contained in the Base Indenture in respect of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and
duties of the Trustee shall be applicable in respect of the Securities and of this Supplemental Indenture as fully and with like effect
as set forth in full herein.
Section 11.11 No
Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of
the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities, the Indenture or any claim based on, in

NOTE]

of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued under a Senior Debt Indenture dated as of February 15,
2013 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), and as further supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of July 3, 2023 (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the
Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, herein called
the “Trustee”, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which
the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is not subject to redemption prior to April 15, 2027.
On or after April 15, 2027, this Security is subject to redemption in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions specified
in the Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder of this Security will have the right, at such Holder’s option,
to require the Company to purchase this Security, or any portion of this Security such that the principal amount of this Security that
is not purchased equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price
equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for such Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option (i) during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions
specified in the Indenture, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 15, 2027, and (ii) on
or after January 15, 2027, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding
the Stated Maturity, to convert this Security or a portion of this Security such that the principal amount of this Security that is not
converted equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, into an amount of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination
of cash and shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, determined in accordance with Article 5 of the Supplemental Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, the Company will make all payments in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, and the principal amount of,
this Security to the Holder that surrenders this Security to the Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of this Security. The
Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions
as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders
of the Securities to be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders
of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders
of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of
the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee
written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Security, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the Securities at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event
of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of Securities at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such
proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted
by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest hereon or amounts due upon conversion
on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
or deliver, as the case may be, the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Redemption Price), interest
on and the amount of cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, due upon conversion
of, this Security at the time, place and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed.

limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration
of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Security are payable, duly

by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

| Re: | 6.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Starwood Property
Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed issuance and sale by the Company
of up to $402,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), including
up to $52,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the exercise in full by
the Underwriters (as defined below) of their over-allotment option, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated June 22,
2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Company, SPT Management, LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule II of the Underwriting
Agreement (the “Underwriters”). The Notes will be issued and sold pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated June 22,
2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), supplementing the prospectus dated May 13, 2022 (the “Base Prospectus”)
that forms part of the Registration Statement (File No. 333-264946) of the Company. As used in this letter, the term “Prospectus”
means the Prospectus Supplement and the Base Prospectus, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The
Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 15, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between
the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of July 3, 2023 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”),
by and between the Company and the Trustee.
We have examined (i) the Prospectus, (ii) the
Registration Statement, (iii) the Indenture, (iv) the Notes in global form, (v) the executed Underwriting Agreement and
(vi) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted on June 21, 2023 and of the Pricing Committee thereof
adopted on June 22, 2023, each as certified by the Secretary of the Company on the date hereof as being true, correct and complete,
relating to, among other things, the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture and the issuance and sale
of the Notes (the “Company Board Resolutions”).

Austin (NY) LLP is a Delaware limited liability partnership doing business as Sidley Austin LLP and practicing in affiliation with other

We have also examined originals, or copies of
originals certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and other corporate documents, have examined
such questions of law and have satisfied ourselves as to such matters of fact as we have considered relevant and necessary as a basis
for this opinion letter. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures,
the legal capacity of all natural persons and the conformity with the original documents of any copies thereof submitted to us for our
examination.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications
and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, when the Notes shall have been duly executed by the Company and authenticated
by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture and the Company Board Resolutions and shall have been duly delivered to the purchasers thereof
against payment of the agreed consideration therefor as provided in the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (except to the extent enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar
laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability
of specific performance or injunctive relief).
This opinion letter is limited to the Federal
laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York. We express no opinion, and make no statement, as to
the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the laws of the State of Maryland, or as
to the municipal laws or the laws, rules or regulations of any local agencies or local governmental authorities of or within the
State of New York, or as to any matters arising thereunder or relating thereto. To the extent that any of the matters set forth in the
foregoing opinion are governed by or arise under the laws of the State of Maryland, we have relied exclusively, without independent investigation
or verification, upon the letter of Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP of even date herewith.
We do not find it necessary for the purposes of
this opinion letter to cover, and accordingly we express no opinion as to, the application of the securities or blue sky laws of the
various states to sales of the Notes.
The opinion set forth herein is given as of the
date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or supplement this letter if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or
if we become aware of any fact or other circumstance that changes or may change the opinion set forth herein after the date hereof or
for any other reason.
Page 3
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion
letter as an Exhibit to the filing by the Company of a Current Report on Form 8-K on the date hereof, which Current Report
on Form 8-K will be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, and to all references to our firm included in or
made a part of the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent
is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the related rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of July 3, 2023 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”). This opinion is being provided at your request in connection
with the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”).
In connection with our representation of the Company,
and as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction,
of the following documents (collectively, the “Documents”):
1. The
Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (No. 333-264946) relating to the Notes (the “Registration Statement”),
effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Act”), in the form in which it was filed with the Commission by the Company;
2. The
charter of the Company (the “Charter”), certified as of a recent date by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation
of Maryland;

3. The
Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), certified as of the date hereof by the Secretary of the Company;
4. Resolutions
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee thereof) (the “Board”) relating to
the registration, sale and issuance of the Conversion Shares, certified as of the date hereof by the Secretary of the Company;
5. A
certificate of the SDAT as to the good standing of the Company, dated as of the date hereof; and
6. A
certificate executed by Michael M. Rappaport, Secretary of the Company, dated as of the date hereof.
In expressing the opinion set forth below, we have
assumed the following:
1. Each
individual executing any of the Documents, whether on behalf of such individual or another person, is legally competent to do so.
2. Each
individual executing any of the Documents on behalf of a party (other than the Company) is duly authorized to do so.
3. Each
of the parties (other than the Company) executing any of the Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Documents
to which such party is a signatory, and such party’s obligations (including the Company’s) set forth therein are legal, valid
and binding.
4. All
Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic. All Documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conform to the
original documents. All signatures on all such Documents are genuine. All public records reviewed or relied upon by us or on our behalf
are true and complete. All statements and information contained in the Documents are true and complete. There has been no oral or written
modification or amendment to the Documents, or waiver of any provision of the Documents, by action or omission of the parties or otherwise.
5. The
Conversion Shares will not be issued or transferred in violation of any restriction or limitation on transfer or ownership of Capital
Stock (as defined in the Charter) contained in Article VII of the Charter.
As used herein, the phrase “so far as is
known to us” is limited to the actual knowledge, without independent investigation, of the lawyers in this firm who have provided
legal services to the Company in connection with the Registration Statement and the Underwriting Agreement.
In expressing the opinion set forth below, we have
assumed the following:
1. The
Company will issue the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the resolutions of the Board authorizing their
issuance and, prior to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, the Company will have available for issuance, under the Charter, the
requisite number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.

2. The
Company does not intend to issue certificates representing the Conversion Shares. The Company will send in writing to each stockholder
of the Company the information required by the Charter and the Bylaws and the information as contemplated by Section 2-210 (c) of
the Maryland General Corporation Law for any Conversion Shares to be issued, on request by a stockholder of the Company.
3. The
Underwriting Agreement is a valid and legally binding contract that conforms to the description thereof set forth in the Registration
Statement.
4. The
Indenture is a valid and legally binding contract that conforms to the description thereof set forth in the Registration Statement.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions,
limitations and qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:
1. The
Conversion Shares have been authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and, upon issuance and delivery of the Conversion
Shares as contemplated by the terms of the Notes and the resolutions of the Board, the Conversion Shares will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
2. When
the Notes shall have been duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture and the resolutions
of the Board and shall have been duly delivered to the purchasers thereof against payment of the agreed consideration therefor as provided
in the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will be duly authorized, executed and delivered.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the substantive
laws of the State of Maryland and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. We express no opinion as to compliance
with the securities (or “blue sky”) laws of the State of Maryland. The opinion expressed herein is subject to the effect of
judicial decisions which may permit the introduction of parol evidence to modify the terms or the interpretation of agreements.
We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion
if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after
the date hereof.
