provided, however, that a transaction or transactions described in clauses (A) or (B) above shall not constitute a Fundamental Change, if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by the common stockholders of the Company, excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of shares of common stock that are listed or quoted on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Capital Market (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such transaction or transactions and as a result of such transaction or transactions such consideration becomes Reference Property (as defined in Section 8) for the Notes, excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights. Any event, transaction or series of related transactions that constitute a Fundamental Change under both clause (A) and clause (B) above (determined without regard to the proviso in clause (B) above) shall be deemed to be a Fundamental Change solely under clause (B) above (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to the proviso in clause (B) above).

4. Optional Conversion.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 4, each Holder of this Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note (including the accrued and unpaid interest thereon) at any time prior to the close of business on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at an initial conversion rate of 80 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 of principal amount of Notes and a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate per $1,000 of accrued and unpaid interest on any Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 4(b), an “Optional Conversion”).

(b) To exercise its conversion rights in the event of an Optional Conversion, the Holder shall comply with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to the interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled pursuant to Section 4(d) and pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, pursuant to Section 4(g). Upon compliance by such Holder with such Applicable Procedures, the electing Holder or the Agent, as applicable, shall notify the Company of the exercise of its conversion rights with respect to such Holder’s Notes or portion thereof and if required, pay funds equal to the interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled pursuant to Section 4(d) and pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, pursuant to Section 4(g).

(c) The Notes (or portion thereof) shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set out in Section 4(b) above. The Company shall deliver the shares of Common Stock (in book entry form) registered in the name of the Holder or its assigns at the appropriate Conversion Rate, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 7 no later than the second Trading Day following the applicable Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”). No fractional shares shall be issued upon an Optional Conversion. Any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon an Optional Conversion shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Upon the conversion in full or in part of this Note into Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the terms hereof, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the price at which this Note converts, which amount shall be payable at the same time as delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in accordance with this Section 4. In addition, to the extent the Holder has converted only a portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note and such Notes are not then in book entry form in accordance with Section 1.4 of Annex A, a replacement Note for the outstanding principal amount of the Note not converted will be delivered to the Holder at the same time as the delivery of any shares of Common Stock issuable in accordance with this Section 4.

(d) The Company’s settlement of the Optional Conversion shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes so converted and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. Accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so converted, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date shall be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate. If the principal amount of any Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date (in addition to having the value of such interest converted in connection with such conversion) will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes in cash on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Therefore, the principal amount of any Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the converting Holder was the Holder of record on the corresponding Regular Record Date); provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.

(e) The Company shall be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under the Notes with respect to the principal amount of Notes and accrued interest thereon, if any, so converted and such principal amount of Notes so converted shall be deemed paid, and of no further force and effect, and the Company shall, if such Notes are not then in book entry form in accordance with Section 1.4 of Annex A, issue a new Note evidencing any remaining outstanding principal amount of Notes not converted pursuant to the Optional Conversion.

(f) The Company shall reserve, 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 outstanding principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.

(g) The Company shall pay any and all stamp, stock transfer, stock issuance and other similar taxes or any other fees that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 4, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Company or its Stock Transfer Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Company or its Stock Transfer Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(h) Upon the conversion of an interest in any Global Note, the Company or its Agent at the direction of the Company by Company Order, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.

5. Mandatory Conversion.

(a) On or after January 31, 2024, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect (the “Company Mandatory Conversion Right”) to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, as well as accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in whole but not in part, at the applicable Conversion Rate then in effect if the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Mandatory Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 5(b) below, exceeds $18.00 (the “Company Mandatory Conversion Condition”).

(b) To exercise the Company Mandatory Conversion Right, the Company shall provide written notice of its election (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) to the Holder. Such notice shall state (i) that the Note has been called for Mandatory Conversion; (ii) the effective date of the Mandatory Conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”); (iii) the current Conversion Rate; (iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Stock Transfer Agent; and (v) the CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.

(c) If the Company exercises the Company Mandatory Conversion Right in accordance with this Section 5, then a Conversion Date will automatically, and without the need for any action on the part of any Holder, the Company or any Conversion Agent, be deemed to occur, with respect to each Note then outstanding, on the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Mandatory Conversion Date will be a Business Day of the Company’s choosing that is no more than forty-five (45), nor less than ten (10), Business Days after the Company sends the Mandatory Conversion Notice; provided that the Mandatory Conversion Date shall be no later than the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Maturity Date. The Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Company Mandatory Conversion Right on the second Trading Day immediately following the Mandatory Conversion Date.

6. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to Section 6(g) that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”). The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date shall be subject to postponement in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law.

(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 6 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(A) compliance by the Holder with the Applicable Procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes being repurchased, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

(B) book entry transfer of the Global Notes being repurchased in compliance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

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

(i) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be in minimum denominations of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 6 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. 

(c) On or before the 20th Business Day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Agent, if applicable, a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit any Holder’s repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 6. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company will publish such information on its website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

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

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, the Company shall not be required to repurchase, or to make an offer to repurchase, the Notes upon a Fundamental Change if a third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Section 6 (including, without limitation, the requirement to comply with applicable securities laws), and such third party purchases all Notes or portions thereof properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Section 6 (including the requirement to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the later of the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of book-entry transfer of the relevant Notes or portions thereof); provided that the Company shall continue to be obligated to (x) deliver the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Holders (which Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state that such third party shall make such an offer to purchase the Notes) and to simultaneously with such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice publish a notice containing such information in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or publish the information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time, (y) comply with applicable securities laws as set forth in this Global Note in connection with any such purchase and (z) pay the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the later of the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of the relevant Notes or portions thereof in the event such third party fails to make such payment in such amount at such time.

(f) For purposes of this Section 6, the Company may appoint any Person to be a depositary, tender agent, paying agent or other agent to accomplish the purposes set forth herein.

Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Company or Agent, as applicable, payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and, to the extent applicable, not validly withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 6) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer of such Note to the Company, or Agent, as applicable, by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 6, as applicable, by making a payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company or Paying Agent, as applicable, holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or, if extended in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law, such later date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of this Note and the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or, if extended in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law, such later date (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Company or Agent, as applicable) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes with respect to the Notes will terminate on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or, if extended in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law, such later date (other than (x) the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and (y) to the extent not included in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable).

(i) Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase offer upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to this Section 6, the Company will, if required:

(A) comply with the provisions of any tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;

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

(C) otherwise comply in all material respects with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Section 6 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Section 6 subject to postponement in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Note relating to the Company’s obligations to purchase the Notes (or portions thereof) upon a Fundamental Change, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of this Note by virtue of such conflict.

7. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if the Holder of this Note participates (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding this Note, in any of the transactions described in this Section 7, without having to convert this Note, as if the Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the then applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the outstanding principal amount (expressed in thousands) of this Note held by such Holder.

(a) If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where, CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as applicable; OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as applicable, before giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination; and; OS’ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. Any adjustment made under this Section 7(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, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 7(a) is declared but not so paid or made or any share split or combination of the type described in this Section 7(a) is announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith not to pay such dividend or distribution or not to split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or such split or combination had not been announced.

(b) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stockholders rights plan or rights agreement) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date; OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date; X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any increase made under this Section 7(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex- Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the exercise or expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 7(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than such average of the Last Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances (including share splits) as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 7(a), Section 7(b) or Section 7(e), (ii) rights issued pursuant to any stockholders rights plan or rights agreement of the Company then in effect, (iii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 7(d) shall apply, (iv) dividends or distributions of Reference Property in exchange for or upon conversion of the Common Stock in a Share Exchange Event, and (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 7(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

Where CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date; SP₀ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) of the Distributed Property so distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 7(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. If the Company issues rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities that are exercisable only upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, the Company shall not adjust the conversion rate pursuant to the clauses above until the earliest of these triggering events occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution. If the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 7(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

Where CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period; FMV = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Prices as set forth in Section1(ff) as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and MP₀ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced.

For purposes of this Section 7(c), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 7(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 7(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 7(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Note, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 7(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 7(a), Section 7(b) and this Section 7(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 7(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:

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

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section (b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 7(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 7(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 7(a) and Section 7(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 7(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 7(b).

(d) If the Company pays or makes any dividend or distribution which is not an Ordinary Cash Dividend (an “Extraordinary Dividend”) to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where, CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Extraordinary Dividend; CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Extraordinary Dividend; SP₀ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such Extraordinary Dividend; and C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

Any increase pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Extraordinary Dividend. If such Extraordinary Dividend is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines in good faith not to make or pay such Extraordinary Dividend, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Extraordinary Dividend had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 of principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash Extraordinary Dividend.

For purposes of this Section 7(d), “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution to the extent it does not exceed $0.50 (which amount shall be adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 6).

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than an odd lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

Where, CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires (the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires, the “Expiration Date”); CR’ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); OS’ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and SP’ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 7(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Expiration Date of such tender or exchange offer and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. In addition, if the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires is after the 10th Trading Day immediately preceding, and including, the date immediately preceding the relevant Conversion Date in respect of a conversion of Notes, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph and this paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, and including, the last Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Conversion Date.

In the event that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company is, or such Subsidiary is, permanently prevented by applicable law from consummating any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been consummated.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7 or any other provision of this Note, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and the Holder that has converted this Note on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock as of the related Optional Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, as applicable, based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 7, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, the Holder shall 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.

(g) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. In no event will the Conversion Rate be adjusted such that the Conversion Price shall be less than the par value per share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would result in an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of the applicable Conversion Rate. However, the Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried-forward adjustments regardless of whether the aggregate amount of such adjustments is less than 1% on the Optional Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, as applicable.

(h) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a),(b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 7, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the Nasdaq on which the Common Stock is listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of Nasdaq, 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 deliver to the Holder a notice of the increase at least fifteen (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.

(i) Except as stated in this Note, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. For illustrative purposes only and without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(A) 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;

(B) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

(C) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (B) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(D) upon the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction, including structured or derivative transactions, that is not a tender or exchange offer of the nature described in Section 7(e);

(E) solely for a change in the par value (or lack of par value) of the Common Stock; or

(F) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(j) All calculations and other determinations under this Section 7 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.

(k) For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(l) Whenever any provision of this Note requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments (without duplication in respect of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 7) to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices are to be calculated.

(a) In the case of:

(A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes in par value or resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(B) any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Company,

(C) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or

(D) 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 “Share Exchange Event”), then at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the right to convert each $1,000 of principal amount of this Note shall be changed into a right to convert such amount of principal amount of this Note 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 Share Exchange 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 Share Exchange Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the Company or the successor or acquiring Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a supplemental Note providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 of principal amount of this Note; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Share Exchange Event (I) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of this Note in accordance with Section 4 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 Share Exchange Event and (II) the Last Reported Sale Price shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

If the Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which this Note will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Share Exchange Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Share Exchange Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 of principal amount of this Note shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date, multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Share Exchange Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy its obligation to effect a conversion of this Note by paying such cash amount to the Holder on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing of such weighted average as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination is made.

If the Reference Property in respect of any Share Exchange Event includes, in whole or in part, shares of common equity, such supplemental Note described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 8 with respect to the portion of the Reference Property consisting of such common equity. If, in the case of any Share Exchange Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof), other than cash and/or cash equivalents, of a Person other than the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange Event, then such supplemental Note shall also be executed by such other Person, if such other Person is an affiliate of the Company or the successor or acquiring company, and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder of this Note as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

(b) None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of the Holder to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock, as set forth in Section 4 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.

(c) The above provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.

9. Optional Redemption.

(a) From time to time during the period beginning on January 31, 2023 and ending the 40th Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date, the Company may, in its sole discretion, redeem all or a portion of this Note at a cash redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Note (plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date) (the “Optional Redemption”).

(b) In the event of an Optional Redemption, the Company shall at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Redemption Date, deliver or caused to be delivered electronically in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary a notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to the Holder, informing it (i) that all or a portion of this Note has been called for Optional Redemption; (ii) the amount of the aggregate principal amount of the Note that the Company has elected to redeem; and (iii) the effective date on which such redemption will occur (the “Redemption Date).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise its Optional Conversion rights with respect to all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount subject to such Optional Redemption at any time prior to 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the Business Day prior to such Redemption Date. An election by the Holder of its Optional Conversion right with respect to any such principal amount subject to such Optional Redemption shall supersede any Optional Redemption with respect to such principal amount as if the Company did not make an election to redeem such principal amount.

(d) Once the Redemption Notice is delivered, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. On and after the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portion thereof called for redemption and all rights of Holders with respect to such Notes or portion thereof will terminate except for the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender for redemption. Upon surrender in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, such Notes or portions thereof shall be paid at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date. If less than all of the Notes are called for redemption, the Notes or portions thereof that are subject to such redemption shall be chosen in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

(e) The Company shall be forever released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note with respect to the principal amount so redeemed and such principal amount of this Note shall be deemed repaid, in whole or in part, as applicable, and of no further force and effect, and the Depositary shall, make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.

10. Additional Covenants of the Company.

(a) Reports.

(A) While this Note is outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), copies of any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act (or any successor thereto)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall in no event be required to deliver to, or otherwise provide or disclose to, any Holder any information for which the Company is requesting (assuming such request has not been denied), or has received, confidential treatment from the Commission, or any correspondence with the Commission. Any such document or report that the Company files with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to be delivered to the Holder for purposes of this Section 10(a) at the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor).

(B) While this Note is outstanding, at any time that the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide to each Holder , the information that would have been required by clause (A) above on the same dates as would have been required by clause (A) above.

(b) Indebtedness. While this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries, to incur Indebtedness that constitutes Senior Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding of more than $10,000,000, which amount may be increased by the amount of any fees, discounts, premiums (including reasonable tender premiums), penalties and expenses that are paid with the proceeds of Senior Indebtedness incurred in compliance with this Section 10(b) in connection with the refinancing of any other Senior Indebtedness that was incurred in compliance with this Section 10(b) (excluding for the purposes of this increase, any Subordinated Indebtedness and Indebtedness not subject to the $10,000,000 limitation as a result of the following proviso); provided that this Section 10(b) shall not apply to: (i) Indebtedness of any Person or business that is acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or merged into or consolidated with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provided that such Indebtedness was not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation; (ii) any guarantee by the Company or any Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor so long as the incurrence of Indebtedness is permitted by this Section 10(b), and (iii) Indebtedness, the net proceeds of which, are used to refund, replace or refinance any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 10(b) provided that there is no increase in the principal amount thereof (except by an amount equal to fees, discounts, premiums (including reasonable tender premiums), penalties and expenses). The Company will at all times while this Note is outstanding, cause the Outstanding Amount under this Note to be designated as “Senior Debt” (or any other defined term having a similar purpose) within the meaning of any agreements governing any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company.

(c) Restricted Payments. While this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(A) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Capital Stock (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Capital Stock in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Company or to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company);

(B) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Capital Stock of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company;

(C) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Indebtedness of the Company that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, except (i) from the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or (ii) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of any such Indebtedness made in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement; or

(D) make any Restricted Investment;

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (A) through (D) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding provisions shall not prohibit:

(i) the payment of any dividend or other distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Note;

(ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Capital Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company held by any present or former employee, director, officer or consultant (or the estate, heirs, family members, spouse, former spouse, domestic partner or former domestic partner of any of the foregoing) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or agreement (and any successor plans and arrangements thereto) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any principal and interest payable on any notes issued by the Company in connection with any such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition), or any stock subscription or shareholder agreement; provided that the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made under this clause (ii) shall not exceed in any calendar year $10.0 million (with unused amounts in any fiscal year being carried over to succeeding fiscal years); provided, further that such amount in any calendar year shall be increased by an amount not to exceed (A) the cash proceeds from the sale of Capital Stock of the Company and, to the extent contributed to the Company, Capital Stock of any parent entity, in each case to current or former employees, directors or consultants of the Company, any parent entity or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries that occurs after the Issuance Date plus (B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company, its Subsidiaries and to the extent contributed to the Company, any parent entity or the Company after the Issuance Date; less (C) the amount of any Restricted Payments made in any prior calendar year pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) of this clause (ii);

(iii) the payment of any dividend or any other payment or distribution by a Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Capital Stock of any class on a pro rata basis to the holders of such class;

(iv) payments to holders of Capital Stock (or to the holders of Indebtedness that is convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock upon such conversion or exchange) in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares;

(v) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur in connection with the exercise (including by cashless exercise) or vesting of stock options or similar instruments, including to the extent necessary to pay withholding or similar taxes related to such exercise or vesting of stock options or similar instruments;

(vi) Restricted Payments paid solely in Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Company;

(vii) (a) Restricted Payments made on or about the Issuance Date in connection with the Transaction and (b) any Restricted Payments pursuant to the Repurchase Agreements in effect on the Issuance Date;

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value (determined, for purposes of this Section 10(c)) by the Company in good faith.

(d) Liens. While this Note is outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any assets or property of the Company or its Subsidiaries that secures obligations under Indebtedness, unless (i) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, this Note is secured by a Lien on such assets and properties that is senior in priority to such Liens and (ii) in all other cases, this Note is equally and ratably secured by a Lien on such assets and properties.

(e) Asset Sales. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(A) the Company (or such Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale), as determined in good faith by the Company, of the assets or Common Stock issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(B) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

For purposes of clause (B) above, the amount of (i) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto or, if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Company) of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which the Company and all Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing, (ii) any securities received by the Company or such Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and (iii) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed $2.5 million (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this paragraph and for no other reason.

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or, if applicable, the Subsidiary) may apply those Net Proceeds at its option:

(1) to reduce obligations under other Indebtedness of the Company that ranks pari passu in right of payment with this Note (provided that if the Company shall so reduce obligations under Indebtedness that rank pari passu in right of payment with this Note (other than secured Indebtedness), it will equally and ratably reduce obligations under this Note by making, or causing the Company to make, an offer to purchase (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer (as defined below) to all Holders of this Note and any other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the pro rata principal amount of this Note and all other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement), in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company;

(2) solely to the extent the assets disposed of in such Asset Sale were property securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 10(b), to reduce obligations under such secured Indebtedness (and if such Indebtedness is revolving in nature, to correspondingly reduce commitments thereunder);

(3) to make (i) an investment in any one or more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or a Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that such business constitutes a Subsidiary, (ii) capital expenditures, (iii) general working capital including hiring, compensating and otherwise providing for additional employees of the Company or a Subsidiary, or (iv) an investment in other non-current assets (other than Cash Equivalents, in the case of each of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), in each case (x) used or useful in a Permitted Business or (y) to replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale); and/or

(4) any combination of the foregoing.

provided that, in the case of clause (3) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company, or such other Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”); provided further that if any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale not applied or invested in accordance with the preceding paragraph within the time periods set forth above shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Note.

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15 million, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary will, within twenty (20) Business Days, make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to the Holder and all holders of Indebtedness that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes (including any Notes issued under the Purchase Agreement) and contains provisions similar to those set forth in this Section 10(e) with respect to offers to purchase with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of this Note and such other Indebtedness that ranks pari passu in right of payment with this Note that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash.

If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Note. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis and in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds hereunder will be reset at zero. To the extent Excess Proceeds exceed the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes (and, if required by the terms thereof, all Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Notes), the Company need only make an Asset Sale Offer up to the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes (and any such Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Notes), and any additional Excess Proceeds will not be subject to this covenant and will be permitted to be used for any purpose otherwise permitted hereunder in the Company’s discretion.

Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall cancel this Note or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. On the date of purchase, the Company shall deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.

Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to this Note as Schedule 1, duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. A Holder shall be entitled to withdraw its election if the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased. If at the end of the Offer Period more Notes are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase shall be made by the Company, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Company shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements). Upon the purchase of an interest in this Global Note, the Company or the Agent at the direction of the Company by Company Order, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.

Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be purchased. The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement. If the date of purchase is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, up to but excluding the date of purchase, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to a Holder who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Note purchased in part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the purchase date, unless the Company defaults in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Note or portion thereof purchased.

The Company or the applicable Subsidiary will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 10(e), the Company or the applicable Subsidiary will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10(e) by virtue of such conflict.

(f) Transactions with Affiliates. While this Note is outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction, including any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property, the rendering of any service or the payment of any management, advisory or similar fees, with any Affiliate (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries or any entity that becomes a Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) involving an aggregate consideration in excess of $1.0 million unless such transaction is (i) otherwise permitted under this Note; (ii) in the ordinary course of business of the Company relevant Subsidiary of the Company or (iii) upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company and the relevant Subsidiary of the Company, than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate; provided that the following transactions shall not be subject to this Section 10(f): (A) customary fees paid to non-officer directors of the Company; (B) employment agreements, employee benefit plans, indemnification provisions, equity incentive plans and other similar compensatory arrangements entered into by Company and its Subsidiaries with employees, consultants, officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including reimbursement of expenses, in the ordinary course of business; (C) Restricted Payments permitted pursuant to Section 10(c) and Permitted Investments; and (iv) any agreement or payment entered into or pursuant to or in connection with the Transaction, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or otherwise in effect on the Issuance Date and, in each case, any amendment, extension, modification thereto so long as such amendment, extension or modification is not, in the good faith judgment of the Company, disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holder, taken as a whole.

(B) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company (if other than the Company) of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on this Note, the due and punctual delivery and/or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of this Note and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Note to be performed by the Company, such Successor Company (if not the Company) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under this Note (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole). In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Section 10(g) the Person named as the “Company” in this Note (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 10(g)) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of this Note and from its obligations under this Note.

While this Note is outstanding, the Company and its Subsidiaries maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (as determined by the Company in good faith) insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

The Agent shall refrain from any act or the taking of any action in connection with the Notes until the Agent shall have received written instructions in respect thereof from the Requisite Holders, and, upon receipt of such instructions from such Requisite Holders, the Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy law.

(A) default in any payment of interest pursuant to the Notes when due and payable, and the default continues for a period of thirty (30) calendar days;

(D) the Company or the Guarantor files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

(F) the Company’s or the Guarantor’s Board of Directors adopts a resolution for the complete liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or the Guarantor;

In the event the Company fails to provide such notice within such five Business Day period, the cure periods contained in Section 11(b)(C) shall begin on the fifth Business Day following an Officer becoming aware of such default as if the Company received written notice from the Requisite Holders of such default on such fifth Business Day.

12. Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 11(b)(D), 11(b)(E) or 11(b)(F)) occurs and is continuing, upon receipt by the Agent or the Company, as applicable, of written notice from the Requisite Holders, the Agent, on behalf of the Requisite Holders, or the Requisite Holders may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 11(b)(D), 11(b)(E) or 11(b)(F) with respect to the Company or the Guarantor occurs, the principal of and interest on the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Holders.

(b) The Holder Majority, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, by written notice to the Company may rescind or cancel any declaration of an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences if such waiver, rescission or cancellation would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(c) In the event of any Event of Default arising from Section 11(b)(G), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any further action by the Holders, if prior to 20 days after such Event of Default arose, the Company delivers notice in writing to the Holders stating that (i) the Indebtedness that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (ii) that the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action, as the case may be, giving rise to such Event of Default or (iii) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured and if such Indebtedness was accelerated, such acceleration was rescinded or waived.

(k) Treatment of Note. To the extent permitted by GAAP and applicable federal income tax law, the Company and the Holder will treat, account and report this Note as debt and not equity for accounting and tax purposes and with respect to any returns filed with federal, state or local tax authorities.

(l) No Shareholder Rights. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or any other person the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of meetings of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matters or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

(m) Force Majeure. In no event shall the Agent (in any capacity hereunder) be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Global Note arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, epidemics and pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex system or other wire or other funds transfer systems, or unavailability of any securities clearing system; it being understood that the Agent shall use reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(n) Patriot Act. The Company, the Guarantor and the Holders acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Agent, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person or other legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Agent. The Company, the Guarantor and the Holders, as applicable and from time to time, agree that they will provide the Agent with such information as it may request in order for the Agent to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

(o) Concerning the Holders. Each Holder accepting the benefits of this Note acknowledges that it has, independently of the Agent and each other Holder, and based on such Holders’s review of the financial information of the Company and the Guarantor and the terms and provisions of this Note (including Annex A hereto, the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Holder), and such other documents, information, and investigations as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to purchase the Notes. Each Holder also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Agent and each other Holder, and based on such other documents, information, and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Note. The Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Company or the Guarantor of this Note or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties of books of the Company or the Guarantor or to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Holders or to provide any Holder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the issuance of the Notes by the Company or at any time or times thereafter, and the Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Holders on behalf of the Company, if applicable.

(p) Tax Matters. All payments under this Note shall be subject to any deduction or withholding as required by applicable law. Each Holder of a Note, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent (in any capacity hereunder), shall deliver documentation (including appropriate current forms W-9 or W-8) prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent, as applicable, to determine whether or not and to what extent such Holder is subject to withholding or backup withholding and the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively and without further inquiry on such documentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Agent (in any capacity hereunder) shall have no duty to prepare or file any Federal or state tax report or return with respect to any funds held or paid pursuant to this Note or any income earned thereon, except for the delivery and filing of tax information reporting forms required to be delivered and filed with the Internal Revenue Service.

Annex A

1.1 Form of Notes. This Global Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Note as may be required by the Company, the Agent or the Depositary, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or traded or designated for issuance or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

This Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified herein and shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon. The aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented hereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect redemptions, repurchases, cancellations, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Company, the Agent, as applicable, or the Agent, at the direction of the Company by Company Order, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this Note. Payment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, a Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a Regular Record Date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

1.2 Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest and Defaulted Amounts.

(a) The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples in excess thereof. This Global Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of such Global Note, subject to periods where interest stops accruing pursuant to Sections 4(d), 5(a), 6(a) and 9(a) of this Global Note.

(b) The Person in whose name this Global Note is registered at the close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. The principal amount of the Global Note shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Company shall pay, or cause a Paying Agent to pay, interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

1.3 Execution and Delivery of Notes.

(a) This Global Note shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual, facsimile or other electronic signature of one of its Officers.

(b) 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 delivered, such Notes nevertheless may be 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 Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Note any such person was not such an Officer.

(c) On the Issuance Date, the Agent shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver the Global Note. The Agent may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Agent may do so. Each reference in this Annex A to authentication by the Agent includes authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights and protections as the Agent to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. As of the Issuance Date, the Agent has appointed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust as authenticating agent.

1.4 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary.

(a) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, this Global Note shall bear the legends included on this Global Note. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in this Global Note shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Note (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the Applicable Procedures.

(b) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 1.4(b) of this Annex A to bear the Restrictive Legend (together with any Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes that is required to bear the legend set forth in Section 1.4(c) of this Annex A, collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 1.4(b) of this Annex A (including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in Sections 1.4(b) and 1.4(c) of this Annex A, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.

This Global Note is required to bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “Restrictive Legend”) (or any similar legend, not inconsistent with this Note, required by the Depositary for such Global Note):

THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF, IF ANY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR PLEDGED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE:

BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:

(1) REPRESENTS THAT EITHER IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND

(2) AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF LEAFLY HOLDINGS, INC. (FORMERLY KNOWN AS MERIDA MERGER CORP. I, THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

(A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR

(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER, OR

(C) TO A PERSON THAT YOU REASONABLY BELIEVE TO BE A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE ACT, OR

(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED.

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) (i) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become effective or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, may, upon compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, be issued without a Restrictive Legend and restricted CUSIP number, it being understood that the Depositary of any Global Note may require a mandatory exchange or other process to cause such Global Note to be identified by an unrestricted CUSIP number in the facilities of such Depositary. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Note, the Agent will be entitled to receive an instruction letter from the Company before taking any action with respect to effecting any such mandatory exchange or other process. The Company and the Agent reserve the right to require the delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other evidence as may reasonably be required in order to determine that any proposed transfer of any Note is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

The Company shall be entitled to instruct the Agent in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which any of the conditions set forth in clause (i) through (iii) of the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph have been satisfied, and, upon such instruction, the Agent shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the Restrictive Legend specified in this Section 1.4(b) of this Annex A and shall not be assigned (or deemed assigned) a restricted CUSIP number.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Global Note (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 1.4(b) of this Annex A, a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except 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 or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Agent or its authenticating agent as custodian for Cede & Co.

If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and a beneficial owner of this Note requests that its beneficial interest herein be issued as a certificated Note, the Company shall execute, and the Agent, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of a certificated Note, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a certificated Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), a certificated Note to each beneficial owner of this Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note in exchange for such Global Note, and upon delivery of this Global Note to the Agent such Global Notes shall be canceled.

Certificated Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of this Global Note pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) of this Annex A shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Agent. Upon execution and authentication, the Agent shall deliver such certificated Notes to the Persons in whose names such certificated Notes are so registered.

At such time as all interests in this Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased or transferred, this Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Agent in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Agent.

Neither the Company nor any other Agent of the Company shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Neither the Company nor the Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any act or omission of the Depositary. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to, or upon the order of, the registered Holder(s) (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).

The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. The Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(c) Any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes or portion thereof shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of a Note that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company with written notice thereof to the Stock Transfer Agent or any other transfer Agent for the Common Stock):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Any such Common Stock (i) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms, (ii) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (iii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer Agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 1.4(b) of this Annex A.

(d) Any Note or Common Stock issued upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or a portion thereof that is repurchased or owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months immediately preceding) may not be resold by the Company or such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144).

(e) The Agent shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under any Note or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Note, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. The Agent shall not have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by DTC.

(f) Each Holder agrees to indemnify the Company and the Agent against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of a provision of this Global Note and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws.

1.5 Cancellation of Certificated Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. The Company shall cause any Notes in certificated form surrendered for the purpose of payment at maturity, repurchase upon a Fundamental Change or Asset Sale Offer, redemption or conversion, if surrendered to any Person that the Company controls other than the Agent, to be surrendered to the Agent for cancellation of that portion of the principal of such Note being repaid, repurchased, redeemed or converted and such portion of the principal of the Note they will no longer be considered outstanding upon their payment at maturity, repurchase, redemption or conversion. All principal portions of certificated Notes delivered to the Agent or Company for cancellation shall be canceled promptly by the Agent. Except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Note, no certificated Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes surrendered to the Agent or Company for cancellation. The Company or Agent shall dispose of canceled certificated Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. After such cancellation, the Agent, if applicable, shall deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order. If less than all of the principal amount of the certificated Note is surrendered for cancellation, a replacement certificated Note equal to the remaining outstanding principal amount shall be authenticated and delivered to the applicable Holder. If any Notes in certificated form are transferred or exchanged in accordance with this Section 1 of this Annex A, a replacement certificated Note equal to the remaining outstanding principal amount shall, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order, be authenticated and delivered to the applicable Holder.

1.6 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Agent shall use CUSIP numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that the Agent shall have no liability for any defect in the CUSIP numbers as they appear on any Note, notice or elsewhere and 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 on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

The Notes shall, upon request of the Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate as to which the Agent may conclusively rely on, cease to be of further effect, and the Agent, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments reasonably requested by the Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Notes, when (a) (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced, paid or converted as provided in Section 1 of this Annex A) have been delivered to the Agent for cancellation; or (ii) after the Notes have (x) become due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or otherwise and/or (y) been converted (and the related consideration due upon conversion has been determined), the Company has deposited with the Agent cash and/or has delivered to Holders shares of Common Stock, as applicable, (in the case of Common Stock, solely to satisfy the accrued and unpaid interest, if any) sufficient, without consideration of reinvestment, to pay all of the outstanding Notes and all other sums due and payable under the Notes by the Company; and (b) the Company has delivered to the Agent an Officer’s Certificate, as to which the Agent may conclusively rely on, stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Notes have been complied with.

3.1 The Company will maintain in the contiguous United States an office or agency (which may be an office of the Agent or an affiliate of the Agent) where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase (“Paying Agent”) or for conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes may be made. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Agent 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 Agent with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made at the Agent’s Office. The Company may also from time to time designate as co-Paying Agent or co-Conversion Agent 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 the contiguous United States for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Agent of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.

3.2 The Company hereby initially designates the Agent as the Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and the Agent’s Office as a place where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase (if applicable) or for conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes may be made; provided that no office of the Agent shall be a place for service of legal process on the Company.

3.3 (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Agent, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver an instrument in which such agent shall agree, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.3 of this Annex A:

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders; and

(ii) that it will give the Agent prompt written notice of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable.

The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or such accrued and unpaid interest; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be made in immediately available funds and received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, so becoming due.

(c) Anything in this Section 3.3 of this Annex A to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Note, or for any other reason, pay, cause to be paid or deliver to the Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 3.3 of this Annex A, such sums or amounts to be held by the Paying Agent and upon such payment or delivery by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Company shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.

(d) Subject to applicable law, any money deposited with the Paying Agent or any Conversion Agent, or any money and shares of Common Stock then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, accrued and unpaid interest on and the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), interest or consideration due upon conversion has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on written request of an Officer of the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such account and the Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such funds; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee with respect to such trust money and shares of Common Stock, shall thereupon cease.

4.1 Duties and Responsibilities of Agent. The Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Note, and:

(i) the Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Note and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Note against the Agent; and

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

(b) the Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Officers of the Agent, unless it shall be proved that the Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(c) the Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Agent, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Agent, under this Note;

(d) whether or not therein provided, every provision of this Note relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1 of this Annex A;

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

(g) in the absence of written investment direction from the Company, all cash received by the Agent shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account, and in no event shall the Agent be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investments prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide timely written investment direction, and the Agent shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of such written investment direction from the Company.

None of the provisions contained in this Note shall require the Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

In the event that the Agent is also acting as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent under this Note, the rights and protections afforded to the Agent pursuant to this Note shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

No provision of this Note shall be construed to relieve the Agent from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, as determined by a final and nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The permissive rights of the Agent set forth in this Note shall not be construed as duties of the Agent.

None of the Agent, the Conversion Agent or Paying Agent (in each case, if different from the Company) shall have any obligation to undertake any calculation under this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and the Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to make any calculations or determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or in this Note provided to be employed, in making the same. The Agent and the 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 securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Agent and the Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto.

The Company shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under or in connection with the Notes. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock, accrued interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion Rate of the Notes.

Upon written request, the Company shall provide a schedule of its calculations to each of the Agent and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Agent and Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Agent will forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder upon the request of that Holder at the sole cost and expense of the Company.

4.2 Reliance on Documents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1 of this Annex A, the Agent may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, judgment, order, bond, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(a) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Agent by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary of the Company.

The Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate.

(b) The Agent may consult with counsel and any advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance on such advice.

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

(d) The Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys and the Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, custodian, nominee or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder, and the permissive rights of the Agent enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

(e) The Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts and powers under this Note.

(f) The Agent may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Note, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(g) The Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default (except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of scheduled principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note) unless an Officer of the Agent has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default (and stating the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default) is actually received by the Agent at the office of the Agent, and such notice references the Notes and states that it is a “Notice of Default”.

(h) The Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.

The Agent shall not be responsible for any inaccuracy in the information obtained from the Company or for any inaccuracy or omission in the records which may result from such information or any failure by the Agent to perform its duties as set forth herein as a result of any inaccuracy or incompleteness.

(k) In no event shall the Agent, its agents or any authenticating agent be responsible or liable for punitive, special, indirect, incidental or any consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Agent, its agents or any authenticating agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(l) The Agent (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (the use of the term “agent” herein with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), and (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers.

(m) The Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

4.3 No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Agent makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Notes or other transaction documents relating to the Notes. The Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Notes or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Agent in conformity with the provisions of this Note or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Note. The Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement (including the Purchase Agreement), instrument, or document other than this Note, whether or not an original or a copy of such agreement has been provided to the Agent. The Agent shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any other agreement (including the Purchase Agreement), instrument, or document other than this Note.

4.4 Agent May Own Notes. The Agent (in each case, if other than an Affiliate of the Company), in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not the Agent.

4.5 Monies and Property to Be Held in Trust. All monies and any property received by the Agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money and property held by the Agent in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Agent.

4.6 Compensation and Expenses of Agent. The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to pay to the Agent from time to time, and the Agent shall be entitled to, compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between the Agent and the Company, and the Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, will pay or reimburse the Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Agent in accordance with any of the provisions of this Note in any capacity hereunder (including the compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, also covenant and agree to indemnify the Agent in any capacity under this Note and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, as determined by a final and nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Note or in any other capacity hereunder (whether such claims arise by or against the Company, the Guarantor or a third person), including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises or enforcing the Company’s obligations hereunder (including the enforcement of this Section 4.6 of this Annex A). The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 4.6 of this Annex A to compensate or indemnify the Agent and to pay or reimburse the Agent for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a senior lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Agent. The Agent’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 4.6 of this Annex A shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantors. The obligation of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 4.6 of this Annex A shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Note, the payment or conversion of the Notes and the earlier resignation or removal of the Agent. The Company and the Guarantor need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 4.6 of this Annex A shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Agent. To the extent that the Company or the Guarantor for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under this Section 4.6 of this Annex A to be paid to the Agent in any capacity hereunder, each Holder severally agrees to pay to such Agent such Holder’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Holder’s share of the aggregate principal amount of Notes held at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Holder), provided, that such reimbursement by the Holders shall not affect the Company’s or the Guarantor’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. Each Holder hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Holder under this Note or otherwise payable by the Agent to such Holder from any source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 4.6 of this Annex A.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Agent under applicable law, when the Agent and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

4.7 Officer’s Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1 of this Annex A, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Note the Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Agent, and such Officer’s Certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent, shall be full warrant to the Agent for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Note upon the faith thereof.

4.8 Resignation or Removal of Agent.

(a) The Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly notify all Holders and may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor agent by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Agent and one copy to the successor agent. If no successor agent shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the sending of such notice of resignation to the Company, the resigning Agent may, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, and at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor agent, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Note) may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor agent.

(b) In case at any time the following shall occur: the Agent shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Agent or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in either case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Agent and appoint a successor agent by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Agent so removed and one copy to the successor agent, or, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Note) may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Agent and the appointment of a successor agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Agent and appoint a successor agent.

4.9 Acceptance by Successor Agent. Any successor agent as provided in Section 4.8 of this Annex A shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor agent an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor agent shall become effective and such successor agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Agent herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor agent, the agent ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.6 of this Annex A, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor agent all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor agent, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor agent all such rights and powers. Any agent ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.6 of this Annex A.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor agent as provided in this Section 4.9 of this Annex A, each of the Company and the successor agent, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such agent hereunder to the Holders. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Agent pursuant to Section 4.8, the Company and Guarantor’s obligations under Section 4.6 shall continue for the benefit of the predecessor Agent. The predecessor Agent shall have no liability for any action or inaction of any successor Agent.

4.10 Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which the Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the trust or agency business of the Agent (including the administration of this Note), shall be the successor to the Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

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

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

5.1 If an Event of Default described in Sections 11(b)(A) or 11(b)(B) of this Global Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Agent, pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time plus 2.00% per annum (except for such days that the Notes do not accrue interest pursuant to Sections 6(h), 9(d) and 10(e) of this Global Note), and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Agent under Section 4.6 of this Annex A. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Agent, in its own name, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Agent, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1 of this Annex A, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Agent under Section 4.6 of this Annex A; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Agent, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Agent any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Agent under Section 4.6 of this Annex A, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Agent without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Agent shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Agent (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of the Notes to which the Agent shall be a party) the Agent shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

In case the Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right under these Notes and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Annex A or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Agent, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders and the Agent shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders and the Agent shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

5.2 Application of Monies Collected by Agent. Any monies collected by the Agent pursuant to this Article 5 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Agent for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

First, to the payment of all amounts due the Agent, including its agents and counsel, under Section 4.6 of this Annex A;

Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of any interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Agent) payable upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time plus 2.00% per annum (except for such days that the Notes do not accrue interest pursuant to Sections 6(h), 9(d) and 10(e) of this Global Note), such payments to be made ratably to the Holders based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes held thereby;

Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Agent, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time plus 2.00% per annum, (except for such days that the Notes do not accrue interest pursuant to Sections 6(h), 9(d) and 10(e) of this Global Note) and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest, such payments to be made ratably to the Holders based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes held thereby; and

Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or as may be directed by a court order.

5.3 Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Holder Majority. The Requisite Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Agent with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with these Notes, and (b) the Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Agent may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Agent in personal liability or for which it has not received indemnity or security satisfactory to the Agent against loss, liability or expense (it being understood that the Agent does not have an affirmative duty to determine whether any direction is prejudicial to any Holder). The Holder Majority may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes (x) waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except any continuing defaults relating to (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 of this Global Note, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 13(h) of this Global Note cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected; and (y) rescind any resulting acceleration of the Notes and its consequences if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default (other than nonpayment of the principal of, and interest on, the Notes that have become due solely by such acceleration) have been cured or waived. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Agent and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.3 of this Annex A, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

6.1 Action by Holders. Whenever in this Note it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of this Annex A, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Company or the Agent solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Company or the Agent may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

6.2 Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 7.5 of this Annex A, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Agent or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Agent. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 7.6 of this Annex A.

6.3 Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company and the Agent may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered according to the applicable procedures of the Depositary to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal (including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of and (subject to Section 1.2 of this Annex A) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The sole registered holder of a Global Note shall be the Depositary or its nominee. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common Stock so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes, following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

6.4 Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Agent, as provided in Section 6.1 of this Annex A, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in these Notes in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Company and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 6.2 of this Annex A, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

7.1 Purpose of Meetings. A meeting of Holders may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 of this Annex A for any of the following purposes:

7.3 Call of Meetings by Company or Holders. In case at any time the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Requisite Holders, shall have requested the Agent to call a meeting of Holders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Agent shall not have delivered the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders may determine the time and the place for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 7.1 of this Annex A, by delivering notice thereof as provided in Section 7.2 of this Annex A.

The Agent shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 7.3 of this Annex A, in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.

The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Agent to be preserved by the Agent, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

Exhibit 4.5

NOTATION OF GUARANTEE

February 4, 2022

Reference is hereby made to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of January 11, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Merida Merger Sub I, a Delaware corporation (which has been renamed Leafly Holdings, Inc., the “Company”), pursuant to which the Company issued on the date hereof its 8.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to the purchasers party to the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Notes.

1. Guarantee.

1.1 For value received, the undersigned Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the “Guarantee”) the Notes and the obligations of the Company thereunder and under the Purchase Agreement, and guarantees to each Holder: (i) the principal of and interest, if any, on all obligations under the Notes and all obligations under the Purchase Agreement, shall be paid in full when due, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, redemption, conversion, purchase or otherwise, together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Maturity Date, by acceleration, redemption, conversion, purchase or otherwise. This Guarantee shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

1.2 The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, 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 the Guarantor. The validity and enforceability of this Notation of Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.

1.3 The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for 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 or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to the Notes and the Purchase Agreement except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, Purchase Agreement and such Guarantee or as provided for in the Notes. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal or interest on the Notes, whether at their Maturity Date, by acceleration, redemption, conversion, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Holders of the Notes directly against the Guarantor to enforce each such Guarantor’s Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company. The Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Holders.

1.4 If any Holder is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or the Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to such Holder, the Guarantee of the Guarantor, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. This Section 1.4 shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by any Holder in reliance upon such amount required to be returned. This Section 1.4 shall survive the termination of this Notation of Guarantee or the Notes.

1.5 The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 12 of the Notes for the purposes of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 12 of the Notes, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee of the Guarantor.

1.6 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. Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in the Notes, 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, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Notation of Guarantee.

2. Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Notes and this Notation of Guarantee, each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of bankruptcy law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

3. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

3.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3 and subject to certain limitations described in this Notation of Guarantee governing the release of the Guarantee upon the sale, disposition or transfer of the Guarantor, the Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person unless:

(a) (i) such Guarantor is the surviving entity; or (y) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made is a corporation or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (such Guarantor or such Person, including the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Guarantor”);

(ii) the Successor Guarantor (if other than such Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Notation of Guarantee pursuant to written agreements; and

(iii)  immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default under the Notes exists;

 or

(b) the transaction does not violate Section 10(e) of the Notes.

3.2  In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the Successor Guarantor, by such executed documents as reasonably deemed sufficient by the Company, of the Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Notation of Guarantee and the Notes to be performed by the relevant predecessor Guarantor, such Successor Guarantor shall succeed to and be substituted for such predecessor Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Notation of Guarantee and the Notes as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Notation of Guarantee and the Form of Global Note as though all such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

3.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3 will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets by a Guarantor to the Company.

4. Release of Guarantee. The Guarantor shall be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under this Guarantee, in the event that:

4.1 the sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of all of the Capital Stock (or any sale, disposition or other transfer of Capital Stock following which the Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company) or all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor if such sale, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with the provisions of Section 3 of this Notation of Guarantee and the Notes or is made in accordance with the Notes, including making a Fundamental Change Offer if required by the provisions of the Notes;

4.2 upon the merger or consolidation of the Guarantor with and into the Company that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Company; or

4.3 if the Company discharges its obligations with respect to the entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes and all other obligations under the Notes and the Purchase Agreement (other than contingent indemnification obligations in which no claim has been asserted as of such date).

5. Benefits Acknowledged. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Notes and that its guarantee and waivers pursuant to this Notation of Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

6. Governing Law. THIS NOTATION OF GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Guarantor hereby agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Notation of Guarantee and its Guarantee hereunder.
