“(iii) If (A) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2019, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 15.02, or (B) the Guarantor or the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries or the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, in each case, taken as a whole, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 1, 2019, in each case, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, then, in the case of either (A) or (B), all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the effective date of such transaction or event until 35 Trading Days after the effective date of such transaction or event (or, if the Company gives notice after the effective date of such transaction or event pursuant to the succeeding sentence, until the 35th Trading Day after the Company gives such notice) or, if such transaction or event also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing within one Business Day of the effective date of such transaction or event.”

In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Guarantor’s securities are then listed, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall send to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.”
(e) Section 14.06 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:
“Section 14.06. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Guarantor shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming delivery of the maximum number of Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.03 and that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder).”

“(a) In the case of:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company or the Guarantor,
(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or
(iv) any statutory share exchange,
in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(h) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated and settled in accordance with Section 14.02 such that (A) the amount otherwise payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes as set forth under Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such Merger Event and (C) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.”
(f) Section 14.10 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:
In case of any:
(a) action by the Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 or Section 14.11;
(b) Merger Event; or
(c) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or the Guarantor;
8
then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be given to each Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
ARTICLE 3
PARENT GUARANTEE

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder and its successors and assigns that: (x) the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), the Conversion Obligation with respect to, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in full and/or performed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture when due, whether at the Maturity Date, upon declaration of acceleration, upon required repurchase, upon conversion or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) any interest, if any, on the Notes and (y) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, required repurchase, conversion or otherwise. Furthermore, subject to the provisions of this Article 3, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Trustee and to each Holder and their respective successors and assigns that (z) all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes (including fees, expenses or other) shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof, subject, however, in the case of clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 3.02 hereof (the obligations set forth in this Section 3.01 collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”). The Guarantee constitutes a general unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Guarantor.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay or perform the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes or this Indenture.
9
(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor any amount paid to either the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d) The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.
(e) This Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(f) In case any provision of this Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(g) Each payment to be made by the Guarantor in respect of the Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.
(h) The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge that the allotment, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any, hereunder (whether upon exchange, under the terms of the Note Guarantee or otherwise) by the Guarantor at the direction of the Issuer will create an equivalent debt owing from the Company to the Guarantor.
Section 3.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Note Guarantee, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that this Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable local law.
10
Section 3.03. Notation Not Required. The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 3.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Note Guarantee.

Section 3.05. Subrogation.

Section 3.06. Benefits Acknowledged.
