Insights

Gorilla raises $107M via 7.5% convertible notes to fund growth.

Gorilla Technology Group is issuing $107,000,000 of 7.50% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2031, receiving about $102.4M in net proceeds. The notes carry semi-annual interest and are convertible at an initial price of roughly $25.4826 per ordinary share.

The financing is unsecured and sits above equity but below secured debt, with potential dilution through conversion at 39.2425 shares per $1,000 principal. Interest can be paid in cash or shares, which may affect cash flow versus dilution depending on future elections under the indenture.

Proceeds are earmarked mainly to fund the equity portion of data center equipment for the company’s second project with Yotta Data Services Private Limited, with any remaining funds for general corporate purposes. Lock-up agreements for directors and executive officers for 120 days help limit near-term insider share sales alongside the new convertible capital.

Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes financial

"issuance and sale of $107,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.50% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2031"

A senior unsecured convertible note is a type of loan a company issues that pays interest and ranks ahead of common shareholders if the company fails, but has no specific assets pledged as collateral. Holders can convert the loan into the company’s stock under agreed terms, so the instrument offers regular income plus potential upside like an option to own shares; investors care because it balances bond-like safety and possible equity gains while bearing higher risk than secured debt.

Indenture regulatory

"The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 5, 2026 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company"

An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds. It explains the rules the company must follow, like paying back the money and keeping certain financial promises. This document helps both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.

shelf registration statement regulatory

"The Offering was made pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-274053) previously filed by the Company"

A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.

Placement Agency Agreement financial

"the Company also entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with Benchmark (the “Placement Agency Agreement”)"

lock-up agreements financial

"the Company and the directors and executive officers of the Company entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), which each provide for a 120-day lockup period"

A lock-up agreement is a contract that prevents company insiders—founders, employees, and early investors—from selling their shares for a set period after a public stock offering. It matters to investors because it keeps a large block of shares off the market temporarily; when the lock-up ends, those holders can sell and this increased supply can cause the stock price to fall, similar to a timed release that suddenly opens a valve.

Underlying Shares financial

"“Underlying Shares” means the Ordinary Shares issued and issuable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and Convertible Notes"

Explanatory Note

On June 2, 2026, Gorilla Technology Group Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors relating to the issuance and sale of $107,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.50% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2031 (the “Notes” and such offering, the “Offering”). The Notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at an initial conversion rate of 39.2425 Ordinary Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $25.4826 per Ordinary Share), subject to adjustment as described in the Indenture (as defined below). The Notes will mature on June 15, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, and will bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2026. Interest on the Notes is payable, at the Company’s election, in cash or Ordinary Shares, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, conditions to closing, termination provisions and indemnification obligations, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 5, 2026 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, paying agent, registrar and conversion agent. The Indenture sets forth the terms of the Notes, including the conversion rights, redemption and repurchase rights, covenants, events of default and other provisions governing the Notes.

The closing of the Offering occurred on June 5, 2026 and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $102.4 million, after deducting placement agent fees but before paying estimated offering expenses. The Offering was made pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-274053) previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 17, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on August 29, 2023, and a related registration statement on Form F-3 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (File No. 333-296439) filed with the SEC on June 2, 2026.

The Benchmark Company, LLC (“Benchmark”) and StoneX Financial Inc. (“StoneX”) acted as our exclusive placement agents for the Offering (the “Placement Agents”).

On June 2, 2026, the Company also entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with Benchmark (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), pursuant to which the Benchmark appointed StoneX as a co-placement agent and the Placement Agents acted as the exclusive placement agents for the Company in connection with the Offering. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agents a cash fee equal to (i) five percent (5.0%) of the initial $50,000,000 of the gross proceeds from the Offering, (ii) three and one-half percent (3.5%) of gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 up to and including $100,000,000 and (iii) two and one-half percent (2.5%) of gross proceeds in excess of $100,000,000. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the Placement Agents for up to $150,000 of its fees and expenses in connection with the Offering. The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.

In connection with the Offering, the Company and the directors and executive officers of the Company entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), which each provide for a 120-day lockup period, subject to customary exceptions.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Placement Agency Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the form of Note, the Placement Agency Agreement and the form of Lock-Up Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5, respectively, to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company.

(a) Subsidiaries. All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are set forth on Schedule 3.1(a). The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

(b) Organization and Qualification.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing (to the extent such good standing concept exists in such jurisdiction) as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

(i) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof by each of the parties hereto, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(o) Regulatory Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

(y) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors of the Company have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or would become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.

(bb) Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

(dd) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

5.13 Reserved.

5.14 Reserved.

5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.16 Reserved.

5.17 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

5.18 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through SMRH. SMRH does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

5.19 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

5.20 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.21 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.

5.22 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

The Company will pay or cause the Trustee or the Paying Agent to pay principal of Global Notes in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Note, on each Interest Payment Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Maturity Date or other payment date, as the case may be.

After the preparation of Physical Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder.

(v) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company and the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11 not involving any transfer.

-16-

(b) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf any Agent Member may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Note, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, the Agents and any of their respective agents as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any liability, responsibility or obligation to any Agent Members or any other Person on whose behalf Agent Members may act with respect to (i) any ownership interests in the Global Note, (ii) the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) any notice required hereunder, (iv) any payments under or with respect to the Global Note or (v) actions taken or not taken by any Agent Members.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any of their respective agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Trustee (to protect the Trustee) and the Company to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

The provisions of this Section 2.09 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Subject to the rights of Holders as of the Regular Record Date to receive payments of interest on the related Interest Payment Date, prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, each Agent, and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered in the Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Agents nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.09 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.

(iii) No service charge will be imposed on any Holder of a Physical Note or any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for any exchange or registration of transfer, but each of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar may require such Holder or owner of a beneficial interest to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such registration of transfer or exchange.

(iv) Unless the Company and the Trustee specifies otherwise, none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any co-Registrar will be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note (A) that has been surrendered for conversion; or (B) that is subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice validly delivered, and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 13.01(b), in each case, except to the extent any portion of such Note is not subject to the foregoing.

(v) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent will have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(b) In General; Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law or by Section 2.09(c):

(ii) every transfer and exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the provisions of this Indenture; and

(iii) each Global Note may be transferred only as a whole and only (A) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (B) by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary or (C) by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Global Note will be exchanged for Physical Notes if the Depositary delivers notice to the Company that:

(A)

the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary; or

(B)

the Depositary is no longer registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act or is otherwise no longer permitted under applicable law to continue as Depositary for such Global Note;

and, in each case, the Company promptly delivers a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after receiving notice from the Depositary.

In each such case, the Company will, in accordance with Section 2.04, promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee will, in accordance with Section 2.04, promptly authenticate and deliver, for each beneficial interest in each Global Note so exchanged, an aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest, registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary specifies.

(ii) In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred with regard to the Notes represented by the relevant Global Note and such Event of Default has not been cured or waived, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may deliver a written request through the Depositary to exchange such beneficial interest for Physical Notes.

In such case, (A) the Registrar will deliver notice of such request to the Company and the Trustee, which notice will identify the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest and the CUSIP of the relevant Global Note; (B) the Company will, in accordance with Section 2.04, promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee, in accordance with Section 2.04, will promptly authenticate and deliver, to such owner, for the beneficial interest so exchanged by such owner, Physical Notes registered in such owner’s name having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest as the Depositary specifies; and (C) the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, will cause the principal amount of such Global Note to be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest so exchanged. If all of the beneficial interests in a Global Note are so exchanged, such Global Note will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause such Global Note to be cancelled in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures and the Applicable Procedures.

(d) Transfer and Exchange of Physical Notes.

(i) If Physical Notes are issued, a Holder may transfer a Physical Note by: (A) surrendering such Physical Note for registration of transfer to the Registrar, together with any endorsements or instruments of transfer required by any of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar; and (B) satisfying all other requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.09. Upon the satisfaction of conditions (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company, in accordance with Section 2.04, will promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will, in accordance with Section 2.04, promptly authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Physical Notes, of any authorized denomination, having like aggregate principal amount.

(ii) If Physical Notes are issued, a Holder may exchange a Physical Note for other Physical Notes of any authorized denominations and aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be exchanged by surrendering such Notes, together with any endorsements or instruments of transfer required by any of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar, at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such purposes pursuant to Section 5.02. Whenever a Holder surrenders Notes for exchange, the Company, in accordance with Section 2.04, will promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order and in accordance with Section 2.04, will promptly authenticate and deliver the Notes that such Holder is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

(iii) Subject to Section 2.01 herein, if Physical Notes are issued, a Holder may transfer or exchange a Physical Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note by (A) surrendering such Physical Note for registration of transfer or exchange, together with any endorsements or instruments of transfer required by any of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar, at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such purposes pursuant to Section 4.02; (B) satisfying all other requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.09 and Section 2.07; (C) providing written instructions to the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment in its books and records with respect to the applicable Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note, which instructions will contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase and (D) complying with the Applicable Procedures to effect such transfer or exchange.

If no Global Notes are then Outstanding, the Company, in accordance with Section 2.04, will promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order and in accordance with Section 2.04, will authenticate, a new Global Note in the appropriate aggregate principal amount.

Section 2.10 Purchase of Notes; Cancellation.

The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), purchase Notes in the open market or by tender offer at any price or by private agreement. The Company will cause any Notes so purchased (other than Notes purchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other cash-settled derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. For the avoidance of doubt, any such Notes purchased by the Company will be retired and no longer Outstanding hereunder.

-20-

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. Upon written request of the Company, the Trustee shall promptly cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, purchase, repurchase, conversion or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures and the Applicable Procedures (if applicable). If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes in any manner whatsoever, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Notes so acquired, while held by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall not entitle the Holder thereof to convert the Notes. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

The Registrar shall retain, in accordance with its customary procedures, copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 2.10. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

Section 2.11 CUSIP Numbers.

In issuing the Notes, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use); provided that the Trustee shall have no liability for any defect in the CUSIP numbers as they appear on any Notes, notice, or elsewhere and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.12 Payment and Computation of Interest.

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum until the Maturity Date, unless earlier purchased or converted in accordance with the provisions herein. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, the date of original issuance of such Notes. Interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in connection with such semi-annual interest payment (or, in the case of an Interest Payment Date in connection with a voluntary conversion, the Holder converting its Notes or having its Notes redeemed, as applicable). Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Conversion Date of a Note is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion (and, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything set forth in the proviso to this sentence), to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date); and (ii) the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion must deliver to the Conversion Agent, at the time of such surrender, an amount of cash equal to the amount of such interest referred to in clause (i) above; provided, however, that the Holder surrendering such Note for conversion need not deliver such cash (v) if such Conversion Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date; (w) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Regular Record Date and on or before the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; (x) if the Company has issued a Redemption Notice specifying a redemption date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date; (y) to the extent of any Additional Interest, overdue interest or interest that has accrued on any overdue interest, or (z) under the circumstances described in Section 3.07. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, if a Note is converted with a Conversion Date that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, then the Company will pay, as provided above, the interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted is on an Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately before such Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that has accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, and such Note, when surrendered for conversion, need not be accompanied by any cash amount pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph.

-21-

Unless the context otherwise requires, payments of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, principal and interest on any Note, in each case, that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate from the required payment date.

Each payment (including any payment made in connection with a repurchase upon a Fundamental Change) in cash by the Company on account of the principal of and interest on and premium, if any on the Notes, shall be applied to the applicable Notes pro rata according to the outstanding principal amount (subject to any adjustment needed to maintain the minimum denominations of the Notes). Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including any payment made in connection with a repurchase upon a Fundamental Change) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest, premium, if any, and fees shall be made without set off or counterclaim and all payments made in cash shall be made to the Trustee, in each case on or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds.

Section 2.13 Method of Payment of Interest.

Other than in connection with a conversion pursuant to Article 3 below or as set forth in this Section 2.13, the Company shall pay all interest due on the Notes in cash on the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Indenture, at the Company’s election, all interest due on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date may be paid in shares of Common Stock rather than cash (“Stock Interest”). The Company shall provide Holders written notice (with a copy to the Trustee) of the Company’s election to issue Stock Interest in lieu of cash interest with respect to any Interest Payment Date no later than 30 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. In the absence of a timely notice of Stock Interest, the interest due on the applicable Interest Payment Date shall be paid exclusively in cash. On any Interest Payment Date in which Stock Interest shall be paid in lieu of cash interest, the Company shall issue to each Holder a number of shares of Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, equal to (a) the dollar amount of cash interest payable to such Holder on such Interest Payment Date divided by (b) (i) 90% multiplied by (ii) the greater of (I) the average Daily VWAP for the five consecutive VWAP Trading Days ending on the VWAP Trading Day which is three (3) VWAP Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date and (II) the Reset Floor. In the event that (A) 90% multiplied by average Daily VWAP for the five consecutive VWAP Trading Days preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the foregoing sentence is less than (B) the dollar amount of cash interest payable to such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, then the Company shall make a cash interest payment equal to such difference. The Company will provide notice of the Stock Interest and cash interest payable to the Holders and the Trustee no less than 2 Business Days before the Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company may only pay Stock Interest issued pursuant to this Section 2.13 if such Stock Interest is registered with the Commission for immediate resale on an appropriate registration statement.

Article 3
CONVERSION

Section 3.01 Right to Convert.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of its Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Conversion Date (if a portion, such that the principal amount of such Notes to be converted, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date, equals $1,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000.00) at the Conversion Rate into the Settlement Amount determined in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(ii) at any time until the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the stated Maturity Date; provided that the portion of the principal amount of a Holder’s Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date, to be converted must be such that the principal amount of the Notes not converted equals $1,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000.00.

-22-

(b) (i) If the Company elects to issue or distribute, as the case may be, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (x) any rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase, for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after the declaration date for such issuance, shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such issuance; or (y) cash, debt securities (or other evidence of indebtedness) or other assets or securities (excluding dividends or distributions in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is made pursuant to Section 3.04(a)), which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, then, in either case, the Company must deliver notice of such distribution, and of the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

(ii) If a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change occurs, to the extent practicable, the Company shall give notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) of the anticipated effective date for such transaction or event not more than 50 Scheduled Trading Days nor less than 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date or, if the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction or event at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date, within two Business Days of the date upon which the Company receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware of such transaction or event (but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction or event). Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation (x) to determine whether the condition described in this Section 3.01(b)(ii) has occurred or (y) to verify the Company’s determination regarding such condition.

(iii) If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange or a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets that does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, the Company shall notify Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation (x) to determine whether the condition described in this Section 3.01(b)(iii) has occurred or (y) to verify the Company’s determination regarding such condition. For the avoidance of doubt, any references to Common Stock described in this Section 3.01, including those in Section 3.01(c), shall give effect to, among other things, the provisions of Section 3.07.

(i) The Company shall not effect any conversion of a Note to Common Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, ownership of shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder, or such Holder together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (any such person other than Holder, including any group of which Holder is a member, an “Additional Restricted Ownership Person”), would beneficially own in excess of the Restricted Ownership Percentage (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and any Additional Restricted Ownership Person shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the sum of the principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon or any Additional Restricted Ownership Person and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any Additional Restricted Ownership Person. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3.01(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

-23-

(ii) To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.01(c)(i) applies, the determination of whether the Notes are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Additional Restricted Ownership Person) and of how much principal amount of Notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date) are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the applicable Notes may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Additional Restricted Ownership Person) and how much principal amount of Notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date) are convertible, in each case, subject to the Restricted Ownership Percentage. To ensure compliance with this restriction and except as provided in the immediately following sentence, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Conversion Notice that, to its knowledge, such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(c), a Holder may submit a Conversion Notice with respect to a principal amount of Notes that, if settled solely in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(i)(x), would result in such Holder, together with any Additional Restricted Ownership Person, beneficially owning shares of Common Stock in excess of the Restricted Ownership Percentage; provided that (A) such Conversion Notice prominently discloses on its face the principal amount of Notes (and the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock) that the Holder has determined cannot be settled in shares of Common Stock without exceeding the Restricted Ownership Percentage (the “Excess Conversion Amount”), (B) such Conversion Notice constitutes an irrevocable offer by the Holder to convert the Excess Conversion Amount on the condition, and only on the condition, that the Company elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to settle the Excess Conversion Amount solely in cash pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(i)(y), and (C) the Company shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and for any reason or no reason, to reject the Conversion Notice with respect to the Excess Conversion Amount by written notice to such Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent delivered within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Conversion Notice, in which case (1) the Conversion Notice shall be deemed automatically withdrawn solely with respect to the Excess Conversion Amount (and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the balance, if any, of the principal amount of Notes specified therein that is convertible without exceeding the Restricted Ownership Percentage assuming physical settlement) and (2) no Conversion Date shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excess Conversion Amount. Any Conversion Notice submitted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed to violate the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.01(c), and the deemed representation set forth in the second sentence of this Section 3.01(c)(ii) shall not apply with respect to the Excess Conversion Amount. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3.01(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer agent for the Company’s Common Stock setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by such Holder or its Additional Restricted Ownership Persons since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

(iii) The “Restricted Ownership Percentage” for each Holder shall initially be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes held by the applicable Holder. A Holder may (i) increase the Restricted Ownership Percentage applicable to its Notes upon not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company, or (ii) decrease the Restricted Ownership Percentage applicable to its Notes effective immediately upon written notice to the Company; provided, however, that (x) no Holder shall be entitled to effect any increase in the Restricted Ownership Percentage applicable to its Notes if such Holder or any Additional Restricted Ownership Person has acquired beneficial ownership of Notes or any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company and (y) (A) in the event the Restricted Ownership Percentage in effect is 4.99%, the Restricted Ownership Percentage shall in no event exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes held by the applicable Holder; and (B) in the event the Restricted Ownership Percentage in effect is 9.99%, the Restricted Ownership Percentage shall in no event exceed 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes held by the applicable Holder. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and any such increase or decrease shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.

-24-

(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation to monitor the ownership percentage (as to a particular Person or as to all Persons).

Section 3.02 Conversion Procedures.

(a) Each Physical Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, Global Notes shall be convertible in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

(b) To exercise the conversion privilege with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Holder must comply with the Applicable Procedures for converting a beneficial interest on a Global Note and pay any taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 3.02(f), and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary.

To exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Physical Notes, the Holder of such Physical Notes shall:

(i) duly sign and complete 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;

(ii) deliver the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent;

(iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

(iv) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in Section 4.02(f).

(v) Subject to Section 2.12, if the Conversion Notice is being delivered on a date after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, the Conversion Notice must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the Note to be converted.

If, upon conversion of a Note, any shares of Common Stock are to be issued to a Person other than the Holder of such Note, the related Conversion Notice shall include such other Person’s name and address.

If a Note has been submitted for repurchase pursuant to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, such Note may not be converted except to the extent such Note has been withdrawn by the Holder and is no longer submitted for repurchase pursuant to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 11.02.

For any Note, the date on which the Holder of such Note satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above with respect to such Note shall be the “Conversion Date” with respect to such Note.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date; provided, however, that except to the extent required by Section 3.04, the person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the satisfaction by the Company of each of its obligations in connection with such conversion and any other conditions set forth in this Indenture, at the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion, the applicable Holder shall no longer be the Holder of the Notes so converted.

-25-

(c) Endorsement. Any Notes 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 Notes, 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 Notes. If any Physical Notes in a denomination greater than $1,000.00 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Physical Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Physical Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Physical Notes.

(e) Global Notes. Upon the conversion of a beneficial interest in Global Notes, 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 Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(f) Taxes Due upon Conversion. If a Note is converted, 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 3.03 Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Settlement. Subject to this Section 3.03 and Sections 3.01(c), 3.06 and 3.07, upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall deliver to Holders, in full satisfaction of its conversion obligation under Section 3.01, in respect of each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date being converted, a Settlement Amount consisting solely of shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.03(b)).

(i) Settlement Amount. The shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows: the Company shall deliver to the Holder of the Notes so converting, in respect of each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount of its Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.03(b).

(ii) Delivery Obligation. The Settlement Amounts upon conversion of the Notes will be delivered by the Company through the Company’s stock transfer agent, in the case of Common Stock or the Conversion Agent, in the case of cash. The Company shall pay or deliver the Settlement Amount due in respect of its conversion obligation under this Section 3.03, on the second Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date; provided, however, that if prior to the Conversion Date for any converted Notes, the Common Stock has been replaced by Reference Property consisting solely of cash, the Company will pay the conversion consideration due in respect of such conversion on the third Trading Day immediately following the related Conversion Date.

-26-

(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 Note. Instead, if any Settlement Amount includes a fraction of a share of the 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 such fraction of a share and the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion Date, or if such Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day.

(c) Settlement in Cash Upon Certain Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.03, in the event that physical settlement of the Settlement Amount in shares of Common Stock is not practicable due to (i) a Market Disruption Event or VWAP Market Disruption Event that is continuing for more than five consecutive Scheduled Trading Days, (ii) any applicable law, regulation, order or directive of any Governmental Authority that prohibits or restricts the issuance or delivery of such shares, or (iii) the unavailability of a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the Company’s obligations under Section 3.09(a)), the Company shall, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, pay to the converting Holder, on the third Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date, cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Value as of the Conversion Date (or, if the Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, as of the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day). The Company’s obligation to pay cash pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reserve shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.09(a) or limit any remedies available to the Holders in respect of any breach of such obligation.

(d) Conversion of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder. If a Holder surrenders more than one Note 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 Notes as if such Holder had surrendered for conversion one Note having an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the principal amounts of each of the Notes surrendered for conversion by such Holder on such Conversion Date or, if the Notes surrendered for conversion are beneficial interests in a Global Note, based on such other aggregate number of Notes, or beneficial interests therein, being surrendered by the Holder for conversion on the same date as the Depositary may otherwise request.

(e) Settlement of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal. If a Note is converted, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and the Company’s delivery of shares of Common Stock into which a Note is convertible must be in an amount of registered shares of Common Stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock) necessary to satisfy and discharge in full the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Date. As a result, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to a converted Note paid with shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock) as required by this Article 3, will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited to the extent shares of Common Stock are delivered in the amount of such accrued and unpaid interest (plus cash for fractional shares of Common Stock). The Company’s delivery of the Settlement Amount due in respect of such conversion will be deemed to fully satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding the Conversion Date.

(f) Notices. Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Note, 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, written notice that a Conversion Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the principal amount of Notes, accrued and unpaid interest converted on such Conversion Date and the names of the Holders that converted Notes on such Conversion Date.

-27-

Section 3.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as described in this Section 3.04, except that no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made for a given transaction if Holders of the Notes will participate in that transaction, without conversion of the Notes, on the same terms and at the same time as a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of a Holder’s Notes divided by $1,000 and multiplied by the Conversion Rate would participate.

(a) If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company subdivides or combines the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,


CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on such 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;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable;

OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such 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; and

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this clause (a) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution (regardless of whether the dividend or distribution date is scheduled to occur after the Maturity Date), or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination described in this clause (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 or a duly authorized committee thereof determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such subdivision or combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or subdivision or combination had not been announced.

(b) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution 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 from the announcement date for such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

-28-

where,

CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution.

Any increase made under this clause (b) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, regardless of whether the distribution date is scheduled to occur after the Maturity Date. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants expire prior to the Maturity Date and shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the 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 were scheduled to be distributed prior to the Maturity Date and are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 3.04(b) and Section 3.01(b)(i), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the applicable 10 consecutive Trading-Day period, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

(c) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution (the “Relevant Distribution”) of shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company’s or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (excluding (i) dividends or distributions and rights, options or warrants as to which an equitable adjustment was effected under clause (a) or (b) above; (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and (iii) Spin-Offs, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

-29-

where,

CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

SP₀	=	the average of the Closing 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 in good faith by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property or rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the above portion of this clause (c) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if such distribution is scheduled to be paid or made prior to the Maturity Date and 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 distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of the Relevant Distribution that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (c) where there has been an Ex-Dividend Date for a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

-30-

where,

CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;

FMV	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and

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

The adjustment to the applicable conversion rate under the preceding paragraph of this clause (c) will be determined on the last day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. In respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period for any Spin-Off, references within this clause (c) related to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date.

For purposes of the second adjustment formula set forth in this clause (c), (i) the Closing Sale Price of any Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be calculated in a manner analogous to that used to calculate the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock in the definition of “Closing Sale Price” set forth in Section 1.01, (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 3.04(h), for the purposes of this Section 3.04(c), rights, options or warrants distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, (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 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, upon settlement of conversions of Notes), shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 3.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 3.04(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 3.04(c). If any such rights, options or warrants, distributed prior to the Issue Date 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 3.04(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.

-31-

For purposes of Sections 3.04(a) through (c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 3.04(c) applies includes one or both of:

(A)

a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 3.04(a) also applies (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B)

an issuance of rights, options or warrants entitling holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock to which Section 3.04(b) 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 distribution to which this Section 3.04(c) applies (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required to be made under this Section 3.04(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 3.04(b) 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 3.04(b), 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 3.04(a).

(d) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a cash dividend or distribution to all, or substantially all, holders of the outstanding Common Stock (other than any dividend or distribution in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

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

C	=	the amount in cash per share that the Company pays or distributes to substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

-32-

Any increase made under this clause (d) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend date for such dividend or distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if any dividend or distribution described in this clause (d) is scheduled to be paid or made prior to the Maturity Date but is not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, and if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date;

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date;

AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

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

OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Offer Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP	=	the average of the Closing 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 Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this clause (e) will be determined at the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the Offer Expiration Date but will be given effect at the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. In respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date, references within this clause (e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely 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, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate.

-33-

(f) Intentionally Omitted.

(g) Conversion Price Reset.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on each of March 15, 2027, December 31, 2027, September 30, 2028, June 30, 2029, March 15, 2030, and December 31, 2030 (each, a “Reset Date”), if the average of the Daily VWAPs for the five consecutive VWAP Trading Days prior to such Reset Date (the “Average Price”) is less than the Conversion Price then in effect prior to giving effect to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.04(g) (the “Pre-Reset Conversion Price”) with respect to such Reset Date, then effective as of the Reset Date the Conversion Price shall be reset to equal the greater of the Average Price and the Reset Floor. This Section 3.04(g)(i) shall terminate automatically, and shall cease to have any further force or effect, immediately upon the earlier to occur of (x) the later to occur of (i) March 15, 2027 and (ii) conversion of at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (y) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock at a gross price per share that is higher than the then-effective Conversion Price in which the Company generates gross proceeds of at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, following termination of this Section 3.04(g)(i) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Notes will not be subject to any downward Conversion Price reset pursuant to this Section 3.04(g)(i), however, the other Conversion Price provisions set forth in this Article 3 (including Section 3.04(g)(ii)) shall remain applicable and in effect pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on March 15, 2027 (the “Upward Reset Date”), if the average of the Daily VWAPs for the five consecutive VWAP Trading Days prior to the Upward Reset Date (the “Upward Average Price”) is greater than the Pre-Reset Conversion Price, then effective as of the Upward Reset Date the Conversion Price shall be reset to equal the lower of (a) 125% multiplied by the Pre-Reset Conversion Price and (b) (i) the Pre-Reset Conversion Price plus (ii) 83% multiplied by (x) the Upward Average Price minus (y) the Pre-Reset Conversion Price; provided, however, that this Section 3.04(g)(ii) shall not apply if the Company has delivered a Redemption Notice prior to the Upward Reset Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.04(g) or elsewhere in this Indenture, in no event shall the Conversion Price be reduced below the Reset Floor, irrespective of the number or magnitude of Reset Events or any other adjustments pursuant to this Article 3.

(iv) The Company shall promptly deliver written notice to the Holders, Trustee and the Conversion Agent upon the occurrence of any event that causes the termination of Section 3.04(g)(i).

(h) Special Settlement Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Note is converted and:

(i) any distribution, transaction or event described in Sections 3.04(a) through (g) has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate on such VWAP Trading Day; and

(ii) the shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of such VWAP Trading Day are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because such shares of Common Stock were not held on a related Record Date or otherwise), then the Company will adjust the number of shares of Common Stock delivered in respect of the relevant VWAP Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.

-34-

If a Note is converted and:

(i) any distribution or transaction described in Sections 3.04(a) through (g) has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate on a given Conversion Date; and;

(ii) the shares of Common Stock deliverable on settlement of the related conversion are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because such shares of Common Stock were not held on a related Record Date or otherwise),

then the Company will adjust the number of shares of Common Stock delivered in respect of the relevant conversion to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described above, and a Holder of Notes that has converted on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date pursuant to Section 3.03 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 the Holder of such converting Notes. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(i) Poison Pill. If a Note is converted, to the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect on the Conversion Date applicable to such Note, the Holder of such converting Note will receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock otherwise received in connection with such conversion on such Conversion Date or such VWAP Trading Day, as the case may be, the rights under the rights plan, unless prior to such Conversion Date or such VWAP Trading Day, as the case may be, 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, Distributed Property as described in Section 3.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(j) Deferral of Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one percent; provided, however, that the Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than one percent of the Conversion Rate and make such carried forward adjustments (i) when the cumulative net effect of all adjustments not yet made will result in a change of at least one percent of the Conversion Rate or (ii) regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than one percent, (1) upon any offer to purchase the Notes following a Fundamental Change, (2) upon any conversion of Notes and (3) on the Effective Date for any Fundamental Change.

(k) Limitation on Adjustments. Except as stated in this Section 3.04, 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 Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. If, however, the application of the formulas in Sections 3.04(a) through (f) 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 or share combination). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, under no circumstance will any adjustment, or the application of any formula, set forth in this Section 3.04 increase the Conversion Rate above the maximum Conversion Rate provided in the definition of Conversion Rate.

-35-

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, the application of adjustments to the Conversion Rate and the Conversion Price shall be governed by the following order of operations: (i) first, any applicable Anti-Dilution Adjustments shall be applied; (ii) second, any applicable Conversion Price resets pursuant to Section 3.04(g) shall be applied (taking into account the Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to clause (i)); (iii) third, any applicable Make-Whole Amounts pursuant to Section 3.06 shall be applied (taking into account the Conversion Rate as adjusted pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)); and (iv) fourth, any applicable make whole pursuant to Section 3.07 shall be applied (taking into account the Conversion Rate as adjusted pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)). In the event that both an Anti-Dilution Adjustment and a Conversion Price reset pursuant to Section 3.04(g) are applicable during the same observation period, the Conversion Price shall be determined by first applying the Anti-Dilution Adjustment and then the Conversion Price reset, and in no event shall any adjustment be applied more than once to the same price movement or event giving rise to such adjustment.

For purposes of this Section 3.04, 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.

Section 3.05 Discretionary and Voluntary Adjustments.

(a) Discretionary Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Closing Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or any function thereof over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to each, if any, 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 Closing Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or function thereof is to be calculated.

(b) Voluntary Adjustments. To the extent permitted by law and any applicable rules of the Exchange, the Company is permitted to increase the Conversion Rate of the Notes by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if such increase is irrevocable for such period and the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest; provided that the Company must give at least 15 days’ prior notice of any such increase in the Conversion Rate to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent). 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 3.06 Adjustments to the Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(a) Generally. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and the Conversion Date for the Conversion of a Note occurs during the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period, then, subject to this Section 3.06, the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will equal the greater of (i) the As-Adjusted Coupon Make-Whole Conversion Rate and (ii) the As-Adjusted Table Make-Whole Conversion Rate, which As-Adjusted Table Make-Whole Conversion Rate shall be calculated by reference to the number of shares (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation as provided in, and subject to, the provisions below) to the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

	Stock Price
Make Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date	$	21.78	$	26.136	$	30.492	$	34.848	$	39.204	$	43.56	$	65.34	$	87.12	$	108.9	$	130.68
6/5/2026		10.5955		8.2844		6.7001		5.5553		4.6939		4.0253		2.1501		1.3068		0.8427		0.5563
6/15/2027		10.5955		8.2844		6.7001		5.518		4.6266		3.9415		2.0618		1.2402		0.7955		0.5238
6/15/2028		10.5955		8.2844		6.6273		5.3587		4.433		3.7342		1.8846		1.1154		0.7101		0.466
6/15/2029		10.5955		8.2243		6.2275		4.8806		3.9315		3.2378		1.5266		0.8806		0.5561		0.3646
6/15/2030		10.5955		7.3489		5.0833		3.6765		2.766		2.1538		0.8822		0.4974		0.3179		0.2129
6/15/2031		10.5955		2.9431		0		0		0		0		0		0		0		0

If such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date or Stock Price is not set forth in the table above, then:

(i) if such Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two dates in the table above, then the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices in the table above or the earlier and later dates in the table above, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and

(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $130.68 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 3.06(b)) or less than $21.78 (subject to adjustment in the same manner), per share, then no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 166.6667 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount of Notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.04; provided, however, that (x) to the extent the As-Adjusted Coupon Make-Whole Conversion Rate or the As-Adjusted Table Make-Whole Conversion Rate that would otherwise be applicable pursuant to this Section 3.06 would cause the Conversion Rate to exceed such maximum, the Company shall nonetheless deliver such excess shares of Common Stock to the converting Holder as additional consideration outside of the Conversion Rate in connection with the applicable conversion (or, if the Company is unable to deliver such excess shares in the form of registered shares of Common Stock, pay cash in lieu thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06(d)) and (y) the foregoing maximum Conversion Rate shall not limit the number of additional shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to Section 3.07, and any such additional shares in excess of the maximum Conversion Rate shall be delivered to the converting Holder as additional consideration in connection with the applicable conversion.

-37-

(b) Adjustment of Stock Prices and Number of Additional Shares. The Stock Prices in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table set forth in Section 3.06(a) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Price is adjusted as a result of the operation of Section 3.04 (which amount, in the event of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 3.04(g), shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately after such adjustment). The numbers of Additional Shares in the table set forth in Section 3.06(a) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.04 (which amount, in the event of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 3.04(g), shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately after such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment).

(c) Notice of the Occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Company will notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 3.01(b)(ii).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.06 or elsewhere in this Indenture, if, at the time of any conversion during a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period, the Company is unable to deliver shares of Common Stock in respect of the Additional Shares because (i) such shares are not registered for resale under an effective registration statement filed with the Commission, (ii) such delivery is prohibited or restricted by applicable law, regulation, order or directive of any Governmental Authority, or (iii) the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock available for delivery, then, in lieu of delivering such shares of Common Stock in respect of the Additional Shares (or the portion thereof that the Company is unable to deliver), the Company shall pay to the converting Holder, on the third Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date, cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock comprising the Additional Shares (or such undeliverable portion thereof) and (y) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date (or, if the Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, on the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day). For the avoidance of doubt, any failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as applicable, the full Settlement Amount (including any Additional Shares or cash in lieu thereof pursuant to this paragraph) within the time periods specified in Section 3.03 shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(b). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing if it determines that it will be unable to deliver shares of Common Stock in respect of any Additional Shares and will instead be required to make a cash payment pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 3.07 Interest Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment upon Certain Conversions.

Subject to the provisions in Section 3.06(a) through (c) for conversions in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which, for the avoidance of doubt, will operate independently from this Section 3.07, if a Holder delivers its Notes for conversion at any time after March 15, 2027 prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding March 15, 2029, then the Conversion Rate then in effect (after giving effect to any concurrent Conversion Rate on a Reset Date) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes to be converted will be increased such that such Holder shall be entitled to receive, solely for purposes of such conversion, a number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount on such Notes to be converted had such Notes remained outstanding from the Conversion Date to, and including March 15, 2029, by (b) the greater of (I) the average Daily VWAP for the five consecutive VWAP Trading Days beginning on, and including, the sixth VWAP Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date and (II) the Reset Floor. In the event that (I) the number of shares delivered pursuant to the foregoing sentence is less than (II) the number of shares that would have been delivered had the Conversion Rate then in effect per $1,000 principal amount of Notes to be converted been increased such that such Holder would have been entitled to receive, solely for purposes of such conversion, a number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount on such Notes to be converted had such Notes remained outstanding from the Conversion Date to, and including March 15, 2029, by (b) the average Daily VWAP for the five consecutive VWAP Trading Days beginning on, and including, the sixth VWAP Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, then the Company shall make a cash interest payment equal to such difference multiplied by the average Daily VWAP for the five consecutive VWAP Trading Days beginning on, and including, the sixth VWAP Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any increase to the Conversion Rate in connection with a conversion pursuant to this Section 3.07 will only be applicable for purposes of the conversion of such Notes and will not be applicable for any other calculation or purposes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any increase to the Conversion Rate in connection with a conversion pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall only be payable in Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(i)(x); provided that, solely with respect to any Excess Conversion Amount that the Company has elected to settle in cash pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(i)(y) following its acceptance of a Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii), any additional shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable pursuant to this Section 3.07 in respect of such Excess Conversion Amount shall instead be paid in cash in an amount equal to the product of such number of additional shares and the Daily VWAP on the Conversion Date (or, if such Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day).

Section 3.08 Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

(a) Merger Events. In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a split, subdivision or combination for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 3.04(a));

-38-

(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination, binding share exchange or similar transaction involving the Company;

(iii) any sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition to a third party of the consolidated property and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or

(iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

and, in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, common stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event,” any such common stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), “Reference Property,” and (i) the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock 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, or exchanged for, 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 amounts and kinds of Reference Property received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election (disregarding, for these purposes, any arrangement to deliver cash in lieu of any fractional security or other unit of Reference Property), a “Unit of Reference Property”) then, at the effective time of such Merger Event, Holders of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be entitled thereafter to convert such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes into the kind and amount of Reference Property that a Holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Merger Event, 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 providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event, (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 3.03 and 3.06 shall instead be deliverable in Units of Reference Property that a Holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Merger Event and (ii) the Daily VWAP and the Closing Sale Price will, to the extent reasonably possible, be calculated based on the value of a Unit of Reference Property and the definitions of VWAP Trading Day and VWAP Market Disruption Event shall be determined by reference to the components of a Unit of Reference Property. The Company shall notify in writing the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average 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 3.08. Such supplemental indenture described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Article 3 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 indenture shall also be executed by such other person.

If the Notes become convertible into, or exchanged for Reference Property, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and shall issue a press release containing the relevant information (and make such press release available on the Company’s website).

(b) Notice of Supplemental Indentures. The Company shall cause written notice of the execution of any supplemental indenture described in Section 3.08(a) to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar, within 20 calendar 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 3.08 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

-39-

(c) Prior Notice. In addition, at least 20 Scheduled Trading Days before any Merger Event, the Company shall give notice to Holders of such Merger Event (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent), or, if the Company has not publicly announced such Merger Event at such time, as promptly as practicable after publicly announcing such Merger Event. In any such notice, the Company shall also specify the composition of the Unit of Reference Property for such Merger Event, or, if the Company has not determined the composition of such Unit of Reference Property at such time, the Company will provide an additional written notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) that states the composition of such Unit of Reference Property as promptly as practicable after determining its composition.

(d) Cash Mergers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the consideration paid to holders of the Common Stock in any Merger Event is comprised entirely of cash, then, for any conversion of Notes following such Merger Event, (i) the consideration due upon the conversion of each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be solely in cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (including any adjustment as set forth in Section 3.06), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and (ii) the Company’s conversion obligation will be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date.

Section 3.09 Certain Covenants.

(a) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall reserve and keep available at all times from and after the Issue Date, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock that is not committed for any other purpose, a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the product of (i) the number of Notes then outstanding multiplied by (ii) the maximum Conversion Rate of 166.6667 shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of satisfying conversions of the Notes, which shall be sufficient to satisfy conversions of all Outstanding Notes. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available at all times to satisfy in full the conversion of all Outstanding Notes, including, without limitation, seeking stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock if the Company reasonably determines that the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock may become insufficient to satisfy such obligation.

(b) Certain other Covenants. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be issued in book-entry form, 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 Notes on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

-40-

Section 3.10 Responsibility of Trustee.

The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine or calculate the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto), to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or to confirm the accuracy of any such adjustment when made or the appropriateness of the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent (if other than the Company) shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, monitoring the Company’s stock trading price or of any other securities or property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Notes; and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Company) make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent (if other than the Company) shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Notes for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 3. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 3.08, relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by the Holders upon conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 3.08 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to deliver to the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by this Article 3 has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefore until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent any requisite notices referred to in this Article 3 with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to delivery such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent as provided for in this Article 3. 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 3.11 Notice of Adjustment.

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent, if different than the Trustee) shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent, if different than the Trustee) shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall (i) issue a press release and make the press release available on the Company’s website and (ii) prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate, in each case, setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date as of which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holder of each Note (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) at his or her last address appearing on the Register provided for in Section 2.06, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to issue such press release or deliver such notice shall not affect the legality, effectiveness or validity of any such adjustment and shall not be an Event of Default under this Indenture.

Section 3.12 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 with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent 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.

-41-

(i) Voluntary Increases.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium on, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal, any premium, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase 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, premium on, accrued and unpaid interest on, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, the Trustee shall automatically serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

(a) Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Indenture shall be prepared in conformity with, IFRS applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the audited financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, (i) Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and any election by the Company under IFRS 9 (or any successor or similar standard) to designate any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss, and the effects of any bifurcation, split accounting or separate measurement of an embedded derivative or equity component of any convertible or compound financial instrument under IAS 32, IFRS 9 or any successor or similar standard, shall in each case be disregarded; (ii) all liability amounts shall be determined excluding any lease liability relating to any operating lease, all asset amounts shall be determined excluding any right-of-use asset relating to any operating lease, all amortization or depreciation amounts shall be determined excluding any amortization or depreciation of a right-of-use asset relating to any operating lease, and all interest amounts shall be determined excluding any deemed interest comprising a portion of fixed rent payable under any operating lease, in each case to the extent that such liability, asset, amortization, depreciation or interest pertains to a lease under which the Company or a member of its consolidated group is the lessee and would not have been classified and accounted for as an operating lease under IAS 17 (and thus would not have given rise to a lease liability or right-of-use asset under IFRS as in effect on the Issue Date had IFRS 16 not been adopted); and (iii) all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under IFRS 9 (or any successor or similar accounting standard having a similar result or effect) to measure any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at fair value.

-48-

(b) Changes in IFRS. If at any time any change in IFRS (including the issuance, amendment or withdrawal of any standard or interpretation by the International Accounting Standards Board or the IFRS Interpretations Committee) would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Indenture Document, and either the Company or the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then Outstanding shall so request, the Company shall in good faith determine an amended such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in IFRS (subject to the approval of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then Outstanding); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with IFRS as in effect immediately prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Trustee financial statements and other documents required under this Indenture or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in IFRS.

Section 5.05 Control by Majority.

The Trustee will not be obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request of the Holders unless such Holders have offered (and if requested, provided) to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to this Indenture, applicable law and the Trustee’s indemnification, the Required Holders may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any Holder (provided, however, that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to determine whether any such direction is unduly prejudicial to any Holder).

Section 5.06 Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 5.07, no Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding under this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or with respect to the Notes unless:

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

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes deliver to the Trustee a written request that the Trustee pursue a remedy with respect to such Event of Default and have offered (and if requested, provided) indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee;

(d) the Trustee has not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such written request within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.

Section 5.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, the above limitations set forth under Section 5.06 do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of a payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), or any accrued and unpaid interest on, any Note, on or after the applicable due date or the right to convert the Note or to receive the Settlement Amounts due upon conversion in accordance with Article 3, and such right to receive any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after the applicable due dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. Payments of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, principal and interest that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate from the required payment date.

Section 5.08 Collection of Indebtedness; Suit for Enforcement by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a), 5.01(b), 5.01(c) or 5.01(d) 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, premium on, interest on, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, and the Settlement Amounts due upon the conversion of, the Notes and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, as well as any other amounts that may be due under Section 10.06.

Section 5.09 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the compensation, and reasonable 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 5.10 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 compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.06. 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 10.06 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 Notes 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.

-54-

Section 5.11 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 5.12 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.09, 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 5.13 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 5 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 5.14 Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 5, it will pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee and each Agent, their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under this Indenture and the Indenture Documents, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Agents, as applicable, and the costs and expenses of collection;

-55-

SECOND: to the Holders, for any amounts due and unpaid on the principal of, premium on, accrued and unpaid interest on, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, and any cash due upon conversion of, any Note, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on all of the Notes; 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 5.14. If the Trustee so fixes a record date and a payment date, at least 15 calendar days prior to such record date, the Trustee will deliver to each Holder (at the Company’s cost and expense) a written notice, which notice will state such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment.

Section 5.15 Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance of a Note, 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 5.15 shall not apply to (i) any suit instituted by the Trustee, (ii) any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, (iii) any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, or any interest on, any Note on or after the applicable due date expressed or provided for in this Indenture, (iv) any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note or to receive the Settlement Amounts due upon conversion of any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article 3, or (v) any suit for the enforcement of the right of a beneficial owner to exchange its beneficial interest in a Global Note for a Physical Note if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in accordance with Section 2.11.

Section 5.16 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.

-56-

Section 5.17 Notices from the Trustee.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee must send notice of such Default to each Holder within 90 days after such Event of Default has occurred or after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or of a Default in the payment or delivery of the Settlement Amounts due upon conversion of any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders (it is being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to determine whether any action is not in the interest of any Holder).

Article 6
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 6.01 Discharge of Liability on Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter incurred by the Trustee, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel, and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.

Section 6.03 Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held.

Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all excess monies or shares of Common Stock 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 amounts.

Section 6.04 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any monies in accordance with Section 6.02 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 this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 6.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such amounts in accordance with Section 6.02; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on, principal of or delivery in respect of any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the monies held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

SUCCESSOR COMPANY

Section 8.01 Company May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, the Company shall not consolidate with, enter into a binding share exchange with, or merge with or into, another Person or sell, assign, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose, in one transaction or a series of transaction, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (a “Business Combination Event”), unless:

-60-

(b) immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; and

-62-

Section 9.03 Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes to be redeemed are listed or, if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, or by lot, or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate (and in the case of global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures); provided that no Securities with a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. For all purposes of this Indenture unless the context otherwise requires, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. Redemption amounts shall only be paid upon presentation and surrender of any such Notes to be redeemed to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 9.04 Notice of Redemption.

At least 10 days, and no more than 60 days, before a redemption date, the Company shall send, or cause to be sent, a notice of redemption electronically or by first-class mail to each Holder to be redeemed at its last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.06 or electronically in the case of Global Notes.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers thereof) and shall state:

(a) the redemption date;

(b) the redemption price and accrued interest to be paid;

(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes of the same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;

(d) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(f) that unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(g) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes that are being redeemed;

(h) any conditions precedent to such redemption in reasonable detail; and

-63-

(i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

At the Company’s written request made at least 10 Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given (unless a shorter period shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee), together with the notice of redemption to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

If any notice of redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, any such redemption may be rescinded in whole and not in part at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the redemption date if the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee describing the failure of the condition in reasonable detail and rescinding the redemption. The Trustee shall promptly provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate to the Holders in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 9.05 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once the notice of redemption described in Section 9.04 is sent and subject to the proviso to this sentence, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price plus interest accrued to the redemption date; provided, however, that any redemption and notice thereof pursuant to this Indenture may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent described in such notice, including, but not limited to, the completion of any related transaction, and in which case if and/or to the extent such condition(s) precedent is/are not satisfied the Company shall have no obligation to redeem Notes on such redemption date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, plus interest accrued to the redemption date; provided that if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date; and provided, further, that if a redemption date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.

Section 9.06 Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the applicable redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Dollars or other applicable currency sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on any and all Notes to be redeemed on that date (other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation).

On and after any redemption date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the second proviso in Section 9.05, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the redemption date. If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the redemption date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Note.

Section 9.07 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Section 9.08 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Redemption of Notes.

In connection with any redemption of Notes pursuant to this Article 9, the Company will, if required:

(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable; and

(b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 9 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 9.

The Company may appoint a tender agent in connection with such redemption, in which case such tender agent shall be the Paying Agent in connection with such redemption.

Section 10.01 Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care in its exercise as a prudent person would use in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

-65-

(b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this subsection (c) does not limit the effect of this Section 10.01;

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction of the Required Holders determined as provided in Section 1.03 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture;

(f) If any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred.

-66-

(g) None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 10.02 Rights of the Trustee.

(e) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, judgment, bond, debenture other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney (at the reasonable expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation).

(l) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

(m) The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights granted to the Trustee in this Indenture shall not be construed as duties.

Section 10.03 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

Section 10.04 Trustee or Agents May Own Notes.

The Trustee or any Agent, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Agent.

Section 10.05 Monies to be Held in Trust.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, all monies and properties received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received.

The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on or the investment of any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed in writing from time to time by the Company and the Trustee.

Section 10.06 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.

The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and Agent from time to time, and the Trustee and Agent shall be entitled to, such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to from time to time in writing between the Company and the Trustee and Agent, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee and Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee and Agent in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture or any other Indenture Document (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Company also covenants to indemnify each of the Trustee and the Agents (and their respective officers, directors and employees), in any capacity under this Indenture and their respective agents for, and to hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all loss, liability, action, suit, claim, damage, cost or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction on its own part and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties and/or the exercise of its rights hereunder or in any other capacity hereunder or under any Indenture Document, including the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) of liability in the premises, including those incurred with respect to enforcement of its right to indemnity hereunder. The Trustee and the Agents shall notify the Company promptly of any third party claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee and the Agents to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend such claim and the Trustee and the Agents shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and the Agents may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

The obligation of the Company under this Section 10.06 shall survive the payment of the Notes, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and/or the resignation or removal of the Trustee and Agent.

When the Trustee, any Agent, and any of their respective agents incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(i) and 5.01(j) with respect to the Company occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute administrative expenses for purposes of priority under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Subject to Section 10.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate and/or Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee.

Section 10.08 Conflicting Interests of Trustee.

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, this Indenture.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or if such Person is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000). If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 10.09 the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 10.10 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ prior written notice of such resignation to the Company and to the Holders of Notes. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment thirty (30) days after such notice of resignation is given to the Company and the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or, if any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.15, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

-70-

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

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 10.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months; or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee by 30 days’ written notice and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 5.15, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; provided, however, that if no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment thirty (30) days after either the Company or the Holders has removed the Trustee, the Trustee so removed may petition at the Company’s expense any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The Required Holders may at any time remove the Trustee upon 30 days’ prior written notice and nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless, within ten (10) days after notice to the Company of such nomination, the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, or if such Trustee so removed or any Holder fails to act, the Company, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 10.10(a) provided, may petition (at the expense of the Company) any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 10.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 10.11.

-71-

Section 10.11 Acceptance by Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 10.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such trustee as such.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 10.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 10.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.09.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 10.11, the Company (or the former trustee, at the written direction of the Company) shall give or cause to be given notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of Notes in accordance with Section 13.07. If the Company fails to give such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

Section 10.12 Succession by Merger, Etc.

Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or exchanged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any sale, merger, exchange or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including any trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that in the case of any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 10.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 10.09.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or any authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that is provided in the Notes or in this Indenture; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, exchange or consolidation.

-72-

Section 10.13 Preferential Collection of Claims.

To the extent that this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, if and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of the claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 10.14 Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company.

Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date any Officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Article 11
REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 11.01 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.00 in excess thereof, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 nor more than 35 calendar days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (subject to extension to comply with applicable law), at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Article 11.

-73-

(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 11.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the Applicable Procedures, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:

in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.00 in excess thereof; and

that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

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

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 11.01 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 11.02.

If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note, such Holder may not surrender such Note for conversion until such Holder has validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of a Global Note, has complied with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal) in accordance with the terms of Section 11.02.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(c) On or before the 20^th calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

-74-

Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 11;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), if applicable;

(vii) the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate;

(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder validly withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (or, in the case of a Global Note, complies with the Applicable Procedures with respect to such a withdrawal);

(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes; and

(x) the CUSIP numbers and the statement required in Section 2.07 hereto.

Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall issue a press release containing such information, disclose the information in a Current Report on Form 6-K or post such information on the Company’s website.

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company. In such a case, the Company shall deliver such notice to the Trustee at least three Business Days prior to the date that the notice is required to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter notice period shall be agreed to by the Trustee), together with Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice.

-75-

Such notice shall be delivered to the Trustee, to the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to each Holder at its address shown in the Register (and to the beneficial owner as required by applicable law) or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 11.01.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.01, the Company shall not be required to repurchase, or to make an offer to repurchase, Notes upon a Fundamental Change if:

(i) a third party makes the offer in the manner, at the times, and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to an offer by the Company to repurchase Notes upon a Fundamental Change and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn upon such offer in the manner and otherwise in compliance with such requirements; or

(ii) pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Change of Control (or a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Change of Control which also results in a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of Change of Control), if (i) such Fundamental Change results in the Notes becoming convertible (pursuant to the provisions described in Section 3.07) into an amount of cash per Note that is greater than (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (assuming the maximum amount of accrued interest would be payable based on the latest possible Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), plus (y) to the extent that such latest possible Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the full amount of interest payable per Note on such Interest Payment Date and (ii) the Company provides timely notice of the Holders’ right to convert their Notes based on such Fundamental Change as described in Section 3.01(b)(ii).

(a) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000.00 in excess thereof,

Any interest, principal, premium, if any, additional amounts, if any, or such other payments to be made under the Notes by the Company to the Purchasers may be paid by the Company in United States dollars and freely transferred out of the Cayman Islands, without the necessity of obtaining any governmental authorization in the Cayman Islands or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and no such payments made to the holders thereof or therein who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands will be subject to income or other taxes imposed by way of withholding or deduction under laws and regulations of any constituent jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

(ppp) Except pursuant to this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person that would give rise to a valid claim against any of them or the Placement Agent for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes.

In addition, any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and delivered to the Placement Agent or counsel for the Placement Agent in connection with the offering of the Notes shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company or such subsidiary, as the case may be, as to matters covered thereby, to the Placement Agent.

(i) to advise the Placement Agent promptly of the happening of any event within the period during which a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule) in connection with any issue of Notes, which event could require the making of any change in the Prospectus then being used so that the Prospectus would not include an 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 are made, not misleading, and to advise the Placement Agent promptly if, during such period, it shall become necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to cause the Prospectus to comply with the requirements of the Act, and, in each case, during such time, subject to Section 5(e) hereof, to prepare and furnish, at the Company’s expense, to the Placement Agent promptly such amendments or supplements to such Prospectus as may be necessary to reflect any such change or to effect such compliance;

(b) You shall have received from the Auditor letters dated, respectively, the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date and addressed to the Placement Agent in the forms reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent, which letters shall cover, without limitation, the various financial disclosures incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(c) The Company will deliver to you a certificate dated, respectively, the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, of its Chief Financial Officer, to the effect that certain operating and financial data disclosed in the Registration Statement, Disclosure Package and the Prospectus have been derived from and verified against the Company’s accounting and business records, and he has no reason to believe that such data is not true and correct.

(d) The Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by the rules and regulations under the Act; all material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 433 and all requests for additional information on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with to the Placement Agent’s reasonable satisfaction.

(e) Prior to and at the Closing Date, no stop order with respect to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued under the Act or proceedings initiated under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Act.

(f) The Company will, at the Closing Date, deliver to you a certificate of its duly authorized executive officer, dated as of the Closing Date in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto as well its duly authorized secretary, dated as of the Closing Date in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto.

(g) FINRA shall not have raised any objection with respect to the fairness or reasonableness of the arrangements of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h) On or after the Applicable Time, there shall not have occurred any of the following: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market; (B) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market; (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by any U.S. Federal or New York State authorities or United Kingdom authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or the United Kingdom; (D) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or (E) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (D) or (E) in the Placement Agent’s judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities being delivered at such Applicable Time on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus and this Agreement.

(i) (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have (A) sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Prospectus any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental or regulatory action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, or (B) entered into any transaction or agreement (whether or not in the ordinary course of business) that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or incurred any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, in each case otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus; and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus there shall not have been any material change or effect, or any development involving a prospective change or effect, in or affecting (X) the business, general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus or (Y) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the Notes, or to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Prospectus and the Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in the Placement Agent’s judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities being delivered at such Applicable Time on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(j) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Placement Agent such further certificates and documents as the Placement Agent may reasonably request.

7. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination. This Agreement shall become effective when the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Placement Agent, by prompt written notice given to the Company, if (1) since the time of execution of this Agreement there has been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except as disclosed in Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the effect of which change or development is, in the judgment of the Placement Agent, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (2) at any time since the execution of this Agreement (i) there shall have occurred a suspension or material limitation in trading in the securities of the Company on Nasdaq or trading in any securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq shall have been suspended or materially limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market; (ii) a commercial banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption shall have occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; or (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 judgment of the Placement Agent, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Notes as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or (3) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred any downgrading, or any notice or announcement shall have been given or made of: (A) any intended or potential downgrading or (B) any watch, review or possible change that does not indicate an affirmation or improvement in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by the Company or any subsidiary by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act. If the issue to the Purchasers of the Notes, as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, is not carried out because any Purchaser or the Company, as the case may be, shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Placement Agent shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in hereunder).

8. Indemnity and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to (x) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its partners, directors, officers and members, any person who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act) of the Placement Agent, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which the Placement Agent or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or in the Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company) or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Placement Agent Information or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in connection with the Placement Agent Information, which material fact was not contained in the Placement Agent Information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus (the term Prospectus for the purpose of this Section 11 being deemed to include the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing), in any Permitted Terms Pricing Prospectus, in any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of the Company or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the Permitted Terms Pricing Prospectuses, if any, or any omission or alleged omission 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, except, with respect to such Prospectus or the Permitted Pricing Terms Prospectus, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, insofar as any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Placement Agent Information or arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Pricing Terms Prospectus in connection with the Placement Agent Information, which material fact was not contained in the Placement Agent Information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (y) indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all other losses, damages, liabilities or claims (or actions in respect thereof) that otherwise arise out of or are based upon or asserted against the Placement Agent, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as applicable, by any person, including stockholders of the Company, in connection with or as a result of your acting as the Placement Agent in connection with the Note Purchases or that arise in connection with any other matter referred to in this Agreement; provided however, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from such losses, damages, liabilities or claims (or actions in respect thereof) that arise from the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct, illegal acts of or any breach of this Agreement by any such persons.

(b) The Placement Agent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its subsidiaries, each of their respective directors and officers, and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, from and against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company or any such person may incur under the Act, the Exchange Act, the common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Placement Agent Information or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Registration Statement in connection with the Placement Agent Information, which material fact was not contained in the Placement Agent Information and which material fact was required to be stated in such Registration Statement or was necessary to make such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Placement Agent Information or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in such Prospectus or Permitted Pricing Terms Prospectus or Testing-the-Waters Communication in connection with the Placement Agent Information, which material fact was not contained in the Placement Agent Information and which material fact was necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Placement Agent (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) respectively, of this Section 11, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise unless and to the extent the indemnifying party did not otherwise learn of such Proceeding and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantive rights and defenses as determined by a final non-appealable judicial determination. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but all reasonable and documented fees and out of pocket expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with its written consent such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 11 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of the placement fee but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the placement fee received by the Placement Agent, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Notes. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Placement Agent on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agent and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(e) The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total placement fee received by the Placement Agent exceeds the amount of any damages that the Placement Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of (i) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or (ii) such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (or action in respect thereof). 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.

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 11 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Placement Agent, its partners, directors, officers or members or any person (including each partner, officer, director or member of such person) who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of Notes. the Company and the Placement Agent agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of its officers or directors in connection with the issuance of the Notes, or in connection with the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Permitted Pricing Terms Prospectus.

18. Foreign Taxes. All payments by the Company to the Placement Agent hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present and future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereinafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction in which the Company is organized, resident, doing business or has an office from which payment is made or deemed to be made, excluding (i) any such tax imposed by reason of the Placement Agent having some connection with the taxing jurisdiction other than its participation as the Placement Agent hereunder and (ii) any income or franchise tax on the overall net income of the Placement Agent imposed by the United States, by the State of New York or any other state thereof, or the District of Columbia, or any political subdivision or territory of the United States, of any state thereof, of the District of Columbia or of the State of New York (all such non-excluded taxes, “Foreign Taxes”). If the Company is prevented by operation of law or otherwise from paying, causing to be paid or remitting that portion of amounts payable hereunder represented by Foreign Taxes withheld or deducted, then amounts payable under this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law, be increased to such amount as is necessary to yield and remit to the Placement Agent an amount which, after deduction of all Foreign Taxes (including all Foreign Taxes payable on such increased payments) equals the amount that would have been payable if no Foreign Taxes applied.

19. Judgment Currency. The obligation of the Company pursuant to this Agreement in respect of any sum due to the Placement Agent shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by the Placement Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) the Placement Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency; if the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Placement Agent hereunder, the Company agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Placement Agent against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Placement Agent hereunder, the Placement Agent agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Placement Agent hereunder.

20. VAT.

(a) All sums payable by the Company pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of any value added tax (“VAT”). Accordingly, if any payment by the Company pursuant to this Agreement constitutes the consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes, then, in addition to that payment, the Company shall pay an amount equal to any VAT chargeable on such supply subject, where applicable, to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice by the Company.

(b) Where under the terms of this Agreement the Company is liable to pay, indemnify or reimburse the Placement Agent in respect of any costs, charges or expenses, the payment shall include an amount equal to any VAT thereon not recoverable by the Placement Agent or any group of which the Placement Agent is a member for VAT purposes.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Placement Agent are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of its clients, as well as other information that will allow the Placement Agent to properly identify their clients.

Dear Sirs

Re: Gorilla Technology Group Inc.

We have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the Company’s registration statements on Form F-3 (File No. 333-274053 and File No. 333-296439), including all amendments or supplements thereto, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), as amended, (the “Registration Statements”), relating to the registration of certain securities, including the Company’s 7.50% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) convertible into ordinary shares that may be issued and sold under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated 2 June 2026 among the Company and the parties thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the Indenture dated June 5, 2026, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Indenture”). This opinion is given in accordance with the terms of the Legal Matters section of the Registration Statements.

1	Documents Reviewed

For the purposes of this opinion we have reviewed originals, copies, drafts or conformed copies of the documents listed in Schedule 1 to this opinion, being all of the documents necessary to form our opinion. Defined terms shall have the meanings set out in Schedule 1 or in the Registration Statements.

2	Assumptions

The following opinions are given only as to and based on circumstances and matters of fact existing at the date hereof and as to the laws of the Cayman Islands as the same are in force at the date hereof. In giving this opinion, we have relied upon the completeness and accuracy (and assumed the continuing completeness and accuracy as at the date hereof) of the Director’s Certificate, as to matters of fact, without further verification and have assumed that copy documents or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals.

3	Opinions

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

3.1	the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands;

3.2

the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) have taken all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance and establish the terms of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Convertible Notes (the “Conversion Shares”), the offering thereof and related matters, and when such Conversion Shares, have been issued and sold by the Company in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement[, the Indenture] and the Registration Statements and in accordance with such resolutions of the Directors, such Conversion Shares will be duly authorized, legally issued and allotted, as fully paid and non-assessable;

3.3

in this opinion the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to shares in the Company, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil); and

3.4	the statements in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statements, to the extent that they constitute statements of Cayman Islands law, are accurate in all material respects and such statements constitute our opinion.

We hereby consent to the prospectus discussion of this opinion, to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statements and to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” and elsewhere in the prospectus and the prospectus supplement included in the Registration Statements. In providing our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

This opinion is limited to the matters detailed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other matter.

Yours faithfully

Exhibit 99.8

Gorilla Technology Group Inc. Announces Pricing of $107 Million Senior Unsecured Convertible Bond Offering

Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today announced the pricing of $107 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due 2031 (the “Bonds”). The financing is being led by Highbridge Capital Management LLC, a current institutional stakeholder in Gorilla.

The Bonds are being sold in an SEC-registered offering on the Company’s “shelf” registration statement on Form F-3 by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement, and is expected to close on or about June 5, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

When issued, the Bonds will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company, will be issued at 100% of their principal amount, will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 7.50% per annum, and will mature on June 5, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. Interest will be payable in cash or, at the Company’s election and subject to certain conditions, ordinary shares of the Company.

The initial conversion rate for the Bonds will be 39.2425 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of Bonds, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $25.4826 per ordinary share, and will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The initial conversion price represents a conversion premium of approximately 17% over the closing price of $21.7800 per ordinary share of the Company on June 2, 2026. The conversion price is subject to two reset mechanisms: one, a downward reset with a floor of $6.00 per ordinary share; the second, an upward reset with a cap of $31.85325 per ordinary share, representing a premium of 46.25% per ordinary share over such closing price.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the equity portion of the purchases of data center equipment deployment pursuant to the Company’s second project with Yotta Data Services Private Limited, announced on April 29, 2026, with any remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

Benchmark, a StoneX Company, and StoneX Financial Inc. are acting as joint Placement Agents.

The Bonds and the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Bonds, are being offered by the Company pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form F-3. The offering of the Bonds and the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof is being made only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement. A final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to this offering will be filed with the SEC. Electronic copies of the final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus may be obtained, when available, on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or by contacting Benchmark, a StoneX company at 150 East 58th Street, New York, NY 10155, by phone at (212) 312-6722 or e-mail at mjacobs@benchmarkcompany.com.
