Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, manually signed by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers of the Company, although at the date of such Note or of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such Officer.
SECTION 2.04 Authentication and Delivery of Notes.  At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Notes in accordance with such Company Order.
If any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.13, such Note shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The Registrar shall keep a register of Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the "Register"). The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents or conversion agents for Notes. The term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent, the term "Registrar" includes any additional co-registrar and the term "Conversion Agent" includes any additional conversion agent.
The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent and shall furnish the Trustee with an executed counterpart of any such agency agreement. The Company at any time may replace any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent or change the location of any such office or agency without notice to any Holder. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such replacement or change in location. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 9.06. The Company or any Subsidiary incorporated or organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.
 
10

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent in connection with the Notes.
SECTION 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) for Notes to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, and interest on, the Notes and to notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent for Notes, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.07 Holder Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Notes. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.
SECTION 2.08 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) The Notes initially shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes without interest coupons (i) registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depositary and (ii) delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary.
(b) Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Note and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such cessation, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Definitive Notes shall not be otherwise issuable.
The Notes shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and any reasonable regulations prescribed by the Company or the Registrar are met. When Notes (other than Global Notes) are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.
 
11

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate at the Registrar's request one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of redemption or of an offer to repurchase Notes and ending at the close of business on the date of such mailing, or for a period beginning 15 Business Days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on the close of business on such Interest Payment Date, or of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and any premium and interest on, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
SECTION 2.09 Replacement Notes.  If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Holder satisfies the reasonable requirements of the Company and the Trustee. If required by the Company or the Trustee, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond or other security sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any Conversion Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company.
SECTION 2.10 Outstanding Notes.  Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except to the extent provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.
 
12

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date or the Maturity Date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 6.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Subsidiary of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which a Trust Officer knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Subsidiary of the Company or of such other obligor.
SECTION 2.11 Temporary Notes.  Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes.
SECTION 2.12 Notes Issuable in the Form of a Global Note.
(a) The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, such Global Note, which shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the outstanding Notes to be represented by such Global Note, or such portion thereof as the Company shall specify in an Officers' Certificate of the Company, shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or its nominee, shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction and shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect (or to such effect as may be required by the Depositary):
THIS NOTE IS A GLOBAL NOTE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF A DEPOSITARY. THIS NOTE IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR NOTES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY) MAY BE REGISTERED EXCEPT IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES.
 
13

UNLESS THIS NOTE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY NOTE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.
TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.
(b) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members"), and any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note, shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to or under such Global Note, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depositary or its nominee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Note may be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Notes registered in the name of, any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be registered, except as provided in this paragraph. Every Note authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note shall be a Global Note, except as provided in this paragraph. If (1) (A) the Depositary for a Global Note notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and (B) a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue certificated Notes in lieu of all or a portion of the Global Notes (in which case the Company shall deliver certificated Notes within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Company determines in its sole discretion that Notes issued in global form shall no longer be represented by a Global Note, then such Global Note may be exchanged by such Depositary for certificated Notes, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, registered in the names of, and the transfer of such Global Note or portion thereof may be registered to, such Persons as such Depositary shall direct.
 
14

(d) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, or interest therein, Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in Global Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes.
SECTION 2.13 Cancellation.  The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in its customary manner and upon written request shall deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Notes to the Company. Any Notes purchased by the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, be reissued or resold or may, at its option, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.14 Defaulted Interest.  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the rate of [___]% in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
SECTION 2.15 CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers and the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.
ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION
SECTION 3.01 Redemption.  The Note is subject to redemption at the option of the Company at any time on or after February 15, 2018 at principal or par plus any accrued interest, if any, in addition to a call premium of 10 percent of the principal, until the Maturity Date.
 
15

SECTION 3.02 Notice to Trustee.  If the Company elects to redeem all or any part of Notes, it shall furnish to the Trustee and the Registrar, at least [75] days but not more than [90] days before the redemption date, an Officers' Certificate setting forth the redemption date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the redemption price of Notes to be redeemed.
SECTION 3.03 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the particular Notes to be redeemed pro rata, by lot or, if the Notes are listed on any securities exchange, by any other method that complies with the requirements of such exchange; provided, however, that no Notes with a principal amount of $1,000 or less will be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption not less than [60] days but not more than [75] days before the redemption date. Notes and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of such Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes selected for redemption.
SECTION 3.04 Notice of Redemption.  (a) At least [60] days but not more than [75] days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder's registered address. The Notes selected for redemption shall continue to be convertible in accordance with Article Five for a period of [30] days following mailing of such notice of redemption, after which [30] day period the Holder's right to convert the Notes terminates.  The notice shall state:
(1)  the redemption date;
 
(2)  the redemption price;
 
(3)  the aggregate principal amount of Notes being redeemed;
 
(4)  the name and address of the Paying Agent;
 
(5)  the date after which the Notes to be redeemed will no longer be convertible;
 
(6)  that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the address specified in such notice to collect the redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
 
(7)  that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price or any accrued interest on Notes called for redemption, interest ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the redemption price in respect of the Notes upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes;
 
(8)  if fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes to be redeemed, and 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, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the Note or Notes being redeemed; and
 
 
16

(9)  the CUSIP number, if any, of the Notes to be redeemed.
 
(b) At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption required in Section 3.04(a) in the Company's name and at the Company's expense; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the date on which the Company requests that the Trustee give such notice (unless the Trustee consents in writing to a shorter notice period), an Officers' Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.04(a).
SECTION 3.05 Effect of Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.04, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Each Holder will have [30] days after mailing of the notice of redemption to elect to convert its Notes into shares of Common Stock, after which time the Notes will cease to be convertible. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date; provided, however, that installments of interest that are due and payable on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such, at the close of business on the relevant record date for the payment of such installment of interest. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.
SECTION 3.06 Deposit of Redemption Price.  Prior to 11:00 a.m., local time in Dallas, Texas, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) funds available on the redemption date sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date on, the Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money so deposited which is not required for that purpose upon the written request of the Company, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Nine.
Unless the Company defaults in making such payment, interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest will continue to be payable on the unpaid principal and any premium including from the redemption date until such principal and any premium is paid, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 6.01 hereof.
SECTION 3.07 Notes Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of a Note that is to be redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in aggregate amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

ARTICLE FOUR 


FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES AND REPURCHASES THEREUPON
SECTION 4.01 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) Generally.  If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, then each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Company to purchase for cash any or all of such Holder's Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to an integral multiple of $100, on a date specified by the Company that is not less than 20 days after the date of and no later than 35 days following the date of delivery of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (such date, the "Fundamental Change Purchase Date"), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the "Fundamental Change Purchase Price"); provided, however, that if a Fundamental Change Purchase Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, the interest payable in respect of such Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of record as of the corresponding Regular Record Date and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article Four and shall not include any accrued and unpaid interest. The requirement for the Company to repurchase any Notes on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date shall be subject to Section 4.06.
Repurchases of Notes under this Section 4.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(1)  delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the "Fundamental Change Purchase Notice") in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note as Exhibit C thereto, if the Notes are Definitive Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary's procedures for tendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are not Definitive Notes, in each case prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date; and
(2)  delivery of the Notes, in the case of Definitive Notes, to the Paying Agent appointed by the Company, (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer), or book-entry transfer of the Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, such delivery or transfer being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor.
 
The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:
(1)  if such Notes are Definitive Notes, the certificate numbers of such Notes;
 
18

 
(2)  the portion of the principal amount of such Notes to be repurchased, which must be $100 or an integral multiple thereof; and
 
(3)  that such Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and the Indenture;
 
provided, however, that if such Notes are in global form, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must also comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 4.01 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 4.03.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to repurchase the Notes in accordance with this Section 4.01 if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such fundamental change repurchase offer.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(b) Fundamental Change Company Notice.  On or before the 20th day after the date on which Fundamental Change becomes effective, which Fundamental Change results in Holders of Notes having the right to cause the Company to repurchase their Notes (the "Effective Date"), the Company shall provide to all Holders of record of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the "Fundamental Change Company Notice") of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the Repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such notice shall be given pursuant to Section 12.01, in the case of any Global Notes, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary for providing notices. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall issue a press release (and make the press release available on the Company's website) and shall publish such press release through a public medium customary for such press releases.
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(1)  the events causing a Fundamental Change;
 
(2)  the effective date of the Fundamental Change;
 
(3)  whether such Fundamental Change is a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, in which case the adjustments in Section 5.05 shall be applicable;
 
 
19

(4)  the last date on which a Holder of Notes may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article Four;
 
(5)  the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
 
(6)  the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;
 
(7)  if applicable, the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
 
(8)  if applicable, the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate;
 
(9)  if applicable, that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with the Indenture; and
 
(10)  the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their Notes.
 
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the repurchase rights of the Holders of Notes or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.01.
(c) No Payment During Events of Default.  There shall be no repurchase of any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.01 if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes where the payment of the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded (other than an Event of Default that is cured by the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes). The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Definitive Notes held by it during the continuance of such an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default that is cured by the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Notes) and shall deem canceled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return and cancellation, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
SECTION 4.02 Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.
Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice specified in Section 4.01 hereof, the Holder of the Note in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in cash with respect to such Note. Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, on the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the conditions in Section 4.01 hereof have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery or book-entry transfer of such Note to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 4.01 hereof.
 
 
20

SECTION 4.03 Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.
A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn in whole or in part by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, specifying:
(1)  if Definitive Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes;
 
(2)  the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and
 
(3)  the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of an integral multiple of $100;
 
provided, however, that if such Notes are in global form, the notice must also comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Definitive Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.03.
SECTION 4.04 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
Prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in Dallas, Texas) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Paying Agent holds money or securities sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, (a) such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest shall cease to accrue thereon (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Notes is made or such Notes have been delivered to the Paying Agent) and (b) all other rights of the Holders in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and previously accrued and unpaid interest upon delivery or book-entry transfer of such Notes).
 
21

SECTION 4.05 Notes Repurchased.
Any Note that is to be repurchased shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires in the case of Definitive Notes, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not repurchased.
SECTION 4.06 Covenant to Comply With Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes.
In connection with any offer to repurchase Notes under Section 4.01 hereof, the Company shall, in each case if required, (i) 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, (ii) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required, under the Exchange Act and (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 4.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 4.01.
SECTION 4.07 Repayment to the Company.
To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 4.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall promptly return any such excess to the Company.
ARTICLE FIVE

CONVERSION
SECTION 5.01 Right to Convert.
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to convert the principal amount of any such Notes at the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such Notes, effective on each Conversion Date. This right to convert terminates prior to the Maturity Date [30] days following mailing of a notice of redemption by the Company or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.04. The right to convert does not include any right for any partial conversion of a Note.
SECTION 5.02 Conversion Procedures.
(a) Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.
(b) In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in a Global Note, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary's book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, and pay all transfer or similar taxes if required pursuant to Section 5.07, and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Definitive Notes, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted shall:
 
22

(1)  complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Note (the "Conversion Notice") or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;
 
(2)  deliver the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent;
 
(3)  if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and
 
(4)  if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in Section 5.07.
 
A Holder may satisfy the applicable conversion requirements at any time. However, any conversion will be effected on the Conversion Date next following 10 Business Days after receipt of a Conversion Notice by the Conversion Agent. The Conversion Agent shall, as promptly as possible, and in any event within two Business Days of the receipt thereof, provide the Company with notice of any Conversion Notice.
(c) Each Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. All such Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares 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 his duly authorized attorney.  Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date.
(d) Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Notes, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Notes 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.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice exercising such Holder's option to require the Company to repurchase such Note may be converted only if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with Article Four hereof and such Note is duly submitted for conversion.
SECTION 5.03 Settlement Upon Conversion.
(a) Upon any conversion of any Note, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $100 principal amount of Notes being converted shares of Common Stock and, if applicable, cash (the "Settlement Amount") as follows:
 
23

(1)  The Company will deliver to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted, divided by (B) $100, multiplied by (C) the Conversion Rate on the Conversion Date; and
 
(2)  Accrued interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date payable in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Company, in shares of the Common Stock (calculated in the manner provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.01).
 
(b) The Company's delivery to the Holder of the Settlement Amount shall be deemed to satisfy in full the Company's obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes so converted and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date.
(c) The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes. If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Notes, the Company shall round up to the next whole share.
SECTION 5.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the events set forth in this Section 5.04 occurs, without duplication, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of Notes participate, as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described under Section 5.04(a) and Section 5.04(b), at the same time as holders of the Common Stock participate, without having to convert their Notes, as if such Holders held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect for such Notes immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such event multiplied by the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder.
Except as set forth in this Section 5.04 and in Section 5.05, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate.
(a) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issues solely shares of its Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all of its shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination on its Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR = CR0 x OS
                    OS0
 
 

where
CR0 = The Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Business Day immediately following the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;
 
24

CR = The Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Business Day immediately following the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;
0S0 = The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as the case may be; and
OS = The number of shares of Common  Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as the case may be.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. As used in this Section 5.04(a), "effective" date means, in respect of any transaction, the first date on which the shares of the Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market (used to determine the Last Reported Sale Price), regular way, reflecting the transaction.
(b) The Company may (but shall not be required to) increase the Conversion Rate, in addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5.04(a), to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.
(c) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a share. No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be required to be made for the Company's issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right, option or warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 5.04.
(d) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided in this Section 5.04, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers' 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 Trust Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers' Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. As soon as practicable following the adjustment, the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective, and will issue a press release containing the relevant information (and make such press release available on the Company's website). Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
 
25

(e) For purposes of this Section 5.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article Five, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made:
(1)  upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company's securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
 
(2)  upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
 
(3)  upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (2) above;
 
(4)  for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
 
(5)  for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes.
 
(g) The Company shall not be required to make an adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate. However, the Company shall carry forward and take into account in any future adjustment any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.04, if (i) a Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.04 becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described above and (ii) a Holder converting its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the close of business on the related record date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described in Section 5.02 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 any Holder converting Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the close of business on the related record date. 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.
SECTION 5.05 Adjustments Upon Certain Fundamental Changes.
 
26

(a) If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change at any time from, and including the Effective Date (as defined below) of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change to, and including the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the "Additional Shares") as set forth in this Section 5.05.
(b) The number of Additional Shares, if any, shall be determined by reference to the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the "Effective Date") and the price (the "Stock Price") paid or deemed paid per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of the Common Stock. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on each of the [five] consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date.
(c) The Stock Price set forth in Section 5.05(b) shall represent the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Price with respect to each $100 principal amount of Note. If the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Price is less than the Conversion Price, then the difference between the two prices shall determine the number of Additional Shares to be received per $100 principal amount of Note upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change conversion, with any fractional share rounded up to the next whole share. If the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Price is equal to or more than the Conversion Price, there shall not be any Additional Shares upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change conversion.
(d) The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change by issuing a press release (and make the press release available on the Company's website) announcing such Effective Date as soon as practicable after the Company first determines the anticipated Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make such determination in time to deliver such notice no later than [20] Business Days in advance of such anticipated Effective Date, and will update the notice promptly if the anticipated Effective Date subsequently changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company be required to provide such notice to the Holders and the Trustee before the earlier of such time as the Company publicly discloses or acknowledges the circumstances giving rise to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or is required to publicly disclose under applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's equity is then listed the circumstances giving rise to such anticipated Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
SECTION 5.06 Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) If any of the following events occur:
(1)  any reclassification of the Common Stock;
 
27

(2)  a consolidation, merger, combination or binding share exchange involving the Company; or
 
(3)  a sale or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the Company's property and assets;
 
(any event as set forth in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above a "Merger Event") in each case, in which holders of the Common Stock would be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of the Common Stock ("Reference Property"), the Holders shall be entitled thereafter to convert their Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of that number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the number into which such Holder's Note would have converted; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event the Settlement Amount shall be calculated and settled in accordance with Section 5.03 (including the Company's right to elect a settlement method as described therein) such that (i) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes as set forth under Section 5.03 shall continue to be payable as set forth in Section 5.03, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Notes under Section 5.03, if any, shall be instead deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such Merger Event.
If, as a result of the Merger Event, each share of Common Stock is converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (x) the Reference Property into which the Notes shall be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election, and (y) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of this Section 5.06 shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (x) attributable to one share of Common Stock. The Company shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
(b) The Company shall not become a party to any such Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.06.
SECTION 5.07 Taxes on Shares Issued.
The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto; provided, however, that if such documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax is due because the Holder of such Notes has requested that shares of Common Stock be issued in a name other than that of the Holder of the Notes converted, then such taxes shall be paid by the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate evidencing such shares unless and until the Holder shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.
 
28

SECTION 5.08 Reservation of Shares; Shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance With Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock.
The Company shall reserve, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder).
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 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).
SECTION 5.09 Responsibility of Trustee.
The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine or calculate the Conversion Rate, to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or to confirm the accuracy of any such adjustment when made or the appropriateness of the method employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or of any other securities or property that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Notes; and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure 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 Five. 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 6.03 Compliance Certificates.
(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers' Certificate, stating that a review of the activities of the Company during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that, to the best of such Officers' knowledge, the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officers may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).
(b) The Company will, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default or default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.
SECTION 6.04 Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for the Notes, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 12.01 or at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

Subject to Section 2.01, the Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Notes for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby initially designates as the Place of Payment for Notes as the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office located at 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite 102, Frisco, Texas 75074, as the Company's office or agency for each such purpose.

SECTION 6.06 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension, or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
SECTION 8.03 Control by Majority.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on such Trustee with respect to Notes, provided that (1) such direction is not in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture and (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by such Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

34

(b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
SECTION 8.08 Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Eight with respect to Notes, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 9.06;
Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and
Third: to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.09 Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.

(1)  The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth (or incorporated by reference) in this Indenture with respect to the Notes and no others.
 
(2)  In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).
 
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(1)  This paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.
 
(2)  The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
 
(3)  The Trustee shall not be liable to Holders with respect to action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from Holders of Notes pursuant to Section 8.03, and the Trustee shall be entitled from time to time to request such a direction.
 
(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.
(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation and may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right, duty or power hereunder unless it receives indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense. No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
SECTION 9.02 Rights of Trustee.  Subject to Section 9.01:
 
36

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. 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, bond, debenture 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, to the extent reasonably required by such inquiry or investigation at the expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers' Certificate of the Company or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.
(c) The Trustee may act through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers under this Indenture.
(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and reliance thereon.
(f) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed by the Trustee to act hereunder.
(i) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.
(j) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution.
 
37

SECTION 9.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
SECTION 9.04 Trustee's Disclaimer.  The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Notes or any prospectus, offering or solicitation documents, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of authentication.
SECTION 9.05 Notice of Defaults.  If a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Notes pursuant to Section 12.01 a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in any payment on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its board of directors, executive committee or a trust committee of officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of Notes.
SECTION 9.06 Compensation and Indemnity.  The Company agrees to pay the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon from time to time in writing between the Company and the Trustee (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Company agrees to reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred by it. Such expenses shall include, when applicable, the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.
The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to institute any suit, or take any remedial action under this Indenture, or to enter any appearance or in any way defend any suit in which it may be a defendant, or to take any steps in the execution of the trusts created hereby or thereby or in the enforcement of any rights and powers under this Indenture, until it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provisions of this Indenture, including compensation for services, costs, expenses, outlays, counsel fees and other disbursements, and against all liability (including fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 9.07) determined not to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and administration of the trust and its duties hereunder as Trustee, Registrar and/or Paying Agent, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including with respect to this Section 9.06) and of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim of which a Trust Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity; however, the failure of the Trustee to promptly notify the Company shall not limit its right to indemnification. The Company shall defend each such claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may retain separate counsel and the Company shall reimburse the Trustee for the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
 
38

The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability, claim or damage incurred by the Trustee determined to have been caused by the Trustee's own negligence or willful misconduct. To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to that of the Holders of the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on, or the redemption price of, particular Notes. The Trustee's right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 9.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in clause (d) or (e) of Section 8.01, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
The benefits of this section shall survive termination of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the Trustee.
SECTION 9.07 Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:
(1)  the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;
 
(2)  a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
 
(3)  the Trustee becomes incapable of acting as Trustee hereunder.
 
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that and upon payment of its charges hereunder, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 9.06, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder of Notes.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
39

SECTION 9.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.  If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible and qualified under this Article and shall notify the Company of its successor hereunder.

(7)  to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any holder of Notes; or
 
(8)  to appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes.
 
SECTION 10.02 With Consent of Holders.  Except as provided below in this Section 10.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes with the consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes or a solicitation of consents in respect of Notes) of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes affected by such amendment or supplement, considered together as a single class.
 
40

For purposes of this Indenture, the consent of the Holder of a Global Note shall be deemed to include any consent delivered by any member of, or participant in, the Depositary or such other depositary institution hereinafter appointed by the Company by electronic means in accordance with the Automated Tender Offer Procedures system or other customary procedures of, and pursuant to authorization by, such entity.
Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution of the Company authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel and Officers' Certificate described in Section 10.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes or a solicitation of consents in respect of Notes). Without the consent of the Holders of majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected thereby, no amendment may:
(a) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment of the Indenture or to waive any past Event of Default;
(b) reduce the rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note;
(c) reduce the principal amount or extend the Maturity Date of any Note;
(d) make any change that impairs or otherwise adversely affects the conversion rights of any Notes;
(e) reduce any repurchase price or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Note or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the Holders of Notes the Company's obligation to make such payments whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise;
(f) make any Note payable in a currency other than that stated in the Note;
(g) release any security or otherwise diminish the ranking of the Notes;
(h) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder's Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's Notes; or
(i) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions of the Indenture.
 
41

SECTION 10.03 Notice of Amendment or Supplement.  After any amendment or supplement to the Indenture or the Notes becomes effective, the Company shall provide to Holders, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 12.01, a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement and shall make such notice available on the Company's website, provided that any failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in such notice, shall not impair or affect the validity of such amendment or supplement.
SECTION 10.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.  A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of a Note. For such revocation to be effective, the Trustee must receive the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If the Company elects to fix a record date for such purpose, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.07, or (ii) such other date as the Company shall designate. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consent from the Holders of the principal amount of Notes required hereunder for such amendment, supplement or waiver to be effective also shall have been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder.
SECTION 10.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.  If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.
SECTION 10.06 Trustee Protected.  The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. If it does adversely affect the rights of the Trustee, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Article Nine) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers' Certificate of the Company stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by and complies with this Indenture.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
RAVE RESTAURANT GROUP, INC.

4% Convertible Senior Note due 2022

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company (herein called the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture dated as of [_______________], 2017, as amended and supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof (the "Indenture") by and between the Company and Securities Transfer Corporation (herein called the "Trustee"), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

1. INTEREST

This Note shall bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum from [________________], 2017, or from the most recent date to which interest had been paid or provided to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, until the principal hereof shall be repaid. Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. Interest is payable annually in arrears on February 15 of each year or, if not a Business Day, the next Business Day, commencing on February 15, 2018, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. The Regular Record Date shall be 10 business days prior to the Interest Payment Date.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal, and, to the extent lawful, on overdue interest, in each case at a rate of [___]% per annum. Interest not paid when due and any interest on principal or interest not paid when due will be paid to Holders on a special record date, which will be the 15th day preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of such interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before a special record date, the Company will send to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that sets forth the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.

2. MATURITY DATE

The Notes shall mature on February 15, 2022.

3. METHOD OF PAYMENT
 
Exhibit A – Page 4

The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on any Global Note to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered Holder of such Global Note. However, the Company has the sole discretion to repay the principal and pay any interest payments on any Global Note in cash or by payment-in-kind of the Company's common stock. The Company shall pay the principal of any Definitive Notes at the office or agency designated by the Company for that purpose. The Company has initially designated the Trustee as its Paying Agent and Registrar in respect of the Notes and its agency in Frisco, Texas as a place where Notes may be presented for payment or for registration of transfer. The Company may, however, change the Paying Agent or Registrar for the Notes without prior notice to the Holders thereof, and the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar for the Notes. If the interest payment is not by payment-in-kind of shares of Common Stock, interest on any Definitive Notes shall be payable to Holders of Definitive Notes either by check mailed to each Holder at its address in the Register or, upon application by a Holder to the Registrar not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder's account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until that Holder notifies, in writing, the Registrar to the contrary.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company shall make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date thereof, as the case may be, to the holder who surrenders a Note to the Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. If the interest payment is not by payment-in-kind of common stock, the Company shall pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The payment-in-kind repayment of principal by shares of Common Stock at maturity would be determined by the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Trading Market for the 30 Trading Days preceding the Principal Repayment Date, with the final number of shares of common stock rounded up to the next whole share. Fractional shares shall not be issued. The Principal Repayment Date means the trading day immediately prior to the 30 day period preceding the Maturity Date. The payment-in-kind of interest at any time would be determined by the average of the closing prices of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Trading Market for the 30 trading days preceding the Regular Record Date with the final number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the next whole share. Fractional shares shall not be issued.

4. PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR, CONVERSION AGENT.

Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may change the Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without prior notice.

5. REDEMPTION

This Note is subject to redemption at the option of the Company commencing February 15, 2018, at par plus any accrued interest, if any, in addition to a call premium of 10% of the principal until the Maturity Date. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and Depositary at least 35 days before the redemption date. Notes selected for redemption shall continue to be convertible in accordance with Article Five for a period of 30 days following mailing of notice of redemption to the Holder, after which 30 day period the Holder's right to convert the Notes terminates.

6. FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES AND REPURCHASES THEREUPON
 
Exhibit A – Page 5

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder's option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder's Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $100 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during periods and upon the occurrence of conditions specified in the Indenture, to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture. The right to convert does not include any right for any partial conversion of a Note.

8. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

The Note is subject to satisfaction and discharge in accordance with Section 11.01 of the Indenture.

9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE

As provided in the Indenture and subject to limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100 and in integral multiples of $100 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

10. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and interest on all Notes may be declared due and payable by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture; provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01 of the Indenture, the principal amount of, and interest on, all the Notes shall automatically become due and payable.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of the majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
