| Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On August 15, 2023, Tellurian
Inc. (“Tellurian” or the “Company”) closed its previously announced private placement (the “Private
Placement”) to an institutional investor (the “Investor”) of (i) $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of senior secured notes (the “Senior Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 3, 2022 (the “Base
Indenture”) between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and
an eighth supplemental indenture (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture”) among the Company, the Trustee and the collateral
agent named therein and (ii) $83,334,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible
Notes” and, together with the Senior Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to the Base Indenture between the Company
and the Trustee, and a ninth supplemental indenture (the “Ninth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base
Indenture and the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indentures”), among the Company, the Trustee and the collateral
agent named therein. The Company entered into the Eighth Supplemental Indenture and the Ninth Supplemental Indenture on August 15,
2023.
Pursuant
to a redemption letter agreement between the Company and the holder of the Prior Convertible Notes (the “Redemption Agreement”),
the Company used the net proceeds from the sales of the Notes to partially redeem the $333.3 million aggregate principal amount of
6.00% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due May 1, 2025 (the “Prior Convertible Notes”) governed by the
Base Indenture, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of June 3, 2022 among the Company, the Trustee, and
the collateral agent named therein (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), the second supplemental indenture dated as
of July 18, 2022 between the Company and the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), the third supplemental
indenture dated as of June 16, 2023 between the Company and the Trustee (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”),
the fourth supplemental indenture dated as of June 29, 2023 between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fourth Supplemental
Indenture”), the fifth supplemental indenture dated as of July 14, 2023 between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fifth
Supplemental Indenture”), the sixth supplemental indenture dated as of July 28, 2023 between the Company and the Trustee
(the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture”), and the seventh supplemental indenture dated as of August 6, 2023 between
the Company and the Trustee (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the First
Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth
Supplemental Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the “Prior Indenture”). On August 15, 2023, pursuant
to the terms of the Redemption Agreement, payment of the remaining aggregate principal amount of the Prior Convertible Notes was forgiven,
any obligations arising under the Prior Convertible Notes (other than the requirement to pay accrued and unpaid interest on those notes
through the date of redemption) were released, and the covenants under the securities purchase agreement dated as of June 1, 2022
between the Company and the investor named therein relating to those notes were terminated.

Company may pay the Default Interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause
to be fixed any such special record date and payment date (which special record date shall not be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date) and shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of
Default Interest to be paid.
(C) Delay
of Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day. If the due date for a payment on a Note as provided in the Indenture is not a
Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, such payment may be made on the immediately
following Business Day and no interest will accrue on such payment as a result of the related delay.
(D) Classification
of Interest Payments. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to interest, whether accrued or paid, shall refer
to cash interest in respect of the Notes, it being understood that Common Stock issued to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.01
shall be classified as interest payments for tax purposes.
Section 2.06. Registrar
and Paying Agent
(A) Generally.
The Company will maintain (i) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency in the continental United States
where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying
Agent, then the Trustee will act as such. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar or
Paying Agent.
(B) Duties
of the Registrar. The Registrar will keep a record (the “Register”) of the names and addresses of the Holders,
the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase and Redemption of Notes. Absent manifest error, the entries in the
Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Trustee may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register
as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably
promptly.
(C) Co-Agents;
Company’s Right to Appoint Successor Registrars and Paying Agents. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars and co-Paying
Agents, each of whom will be deemed to be a Registrar or Paying Agent, as applicable, under the Indenture. Subject to Section 2.06(A),
the Company may change any Registrar or Paying Agent (including appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act in such capacity)
without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee (and, upon request, any Holder) of the name and address of each Note
Agent, if any, not a party to the Indenture and will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with each such Note Agent, which agreement
will implement the provisions of the Indenture that relate to such Note Agent.
(D) Initial
Appointments. The Company appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent and the initial Registrar. None of the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Registrar shall be deemed an agent for the Company for purposes of service of legal process.
Section 2.07. Paying
Agent to Hold Property in Trust.
The
Company will require each Paying Agent that is not the Trustee to agree in writing that such Note Agent will (A) hold in trust for
the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by such Note Agent for payment or delivery due on the Notes;
and (B) notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery. The Company,
at any time, may, and the Trustee, while any Default continues, may, require a Paying Agent to pay or deliver, as applicable, all money
and other property held by it to the Trustee, after which payment or delivery, as applicable, such Note Agent (if not the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for such money or property. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as
Paying Agent, then (A) it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money
and other property held by it as Paying Agent; and (B) references in the Indenture or the Notes to the Paying Agent holding cash
or other property, or to the delivery of cash or other property to the Paying Agent, in each case for payment or delivery to any Holders
or the Trustee or with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to refer to cash or other property so segregated and held separately, or
to the segregation and separate holding of such cash or other property, respectively. Upon the occurrence of any event pursuant to clause
(ix) or (x) of Section 8.01(A) with respect to the Company (or with respect to any Subsidiary of
the Company acting as Paying Agent), the Trustee will serve as the Paying Agent for the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein, Trustee shall have no obligation to hold or deliver shares of Common Stock. Any delivery of shares of Common Stock
(including any delivery of Common Stock in connection with the enforcement of remedies), shall be made by the Company directly to the
Holders through its stock transfer agent and the Trustee shall have no involvement in such delivery.
Section 2.08. Holder
Lists.
If
the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee, no later than seven (7) Business Days before each Interest
Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request, a list, in such form and as of such date or time as the Trustee
may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders.
Section 2.09. Legends.
(A) Legends.
(i) Except
as permitted by the following paragraph (ii), each certificate evidencing the Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in
substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS SECURITY (OR
ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE
EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
THE HOLDER OF THIS
SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF TELLURIAN INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, THAT (A) THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED
OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL
BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (II) PURSUANT TO
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (III) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (IV) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES,
AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE
RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE.
Each definitive Note shall also bear
the following additional legend:
IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH REGISTRAR MAY REASONABLY
REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.
(ii) Upon
any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security pursuant to Rule 144, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to
exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a certificated Note that does not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any restriction
on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale
or transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note).
(B) Other
Legends. A Note may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with the Indenture, as may be required by applicable law or by
any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Note is traded or quoted.
(C) Acknowledgement
and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Note bearing any legend required by this Section 2.09
will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgement of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.
Section 2.10. Transfers
and Exchanges; Certain Transfer Restrictions.
(A) Provisions
Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.
(i) Subject
to this Section 2.10, Physical Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time and the Registrar will record each
such transfer or exchange in the Register.
(ii) Each
Note issued upon transfer or exchange of any other Note (such other Note being referred to as the “old Note” for purposes
of this Section 2.10(A)(ii)) or portion thereof in accordance with the Indenture will be the valid obligation of the Company,
evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as such old Note or portion thereof, as applicable.
(iii) The
Company, the Trustee and the Note Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but
the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11,
2.16 or 8.05 not involving any transfer.
(iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, a Note may not be transferred or exchanged in part unless the portion to be so
transferred or exchanged is in an Authorized Denomination.
(v) The
Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any transfer restrictions imposed under
the Indenture or applicable law with respect to any Note Security, other than to require the delivery of such certificates or other documentation
or evidence as expressly required by the Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the requirements
of the Indenture.
(vi) Each
Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another Note will bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.
(vii) Upon
satisfaction of the requirements of the Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Note, the Company will cause such transfer
or exchange to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the date

and Exchanges of Physical Notes.
(i) Subject
to this Section 2.10, a Holder of a Physical Note may (x) transfer such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an
Authorized Denomination) to one or more other Person(s); and (y) exchange such Physical Note (or any portion thereof in an Authorized
Denomination) for one or more other Physical Notes in Authorized Denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Physical Note (or portion thereof) to be so exchanged; provided, however, that, to effect any such
transfer or exchange, such Holder must surrender such Physical Note to be transferred or exchanged to the office of the Registrar, together
with any endorsements or transfer instruments reasonably required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar.
(ii) Upon
the satisfaction of the requirements of the Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Physical Note (such Physical Note being
referred to as the “old Physical Note” for purposes of this Section 2.10(C)(ii)) of a Holder (or any portion
of such old Physical Note in an Authorized Denomination):
(1) such
old Physical Note will be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 2.14;
(2) if
such old Physical Note is to be so transferred or exchanged only in part, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee
will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized
Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such old Physical Note not to be so transferred

Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount to be so transferred; (y) are registered in the name of such transferee; and (z) bear each legend,

equal to the principal amount to be so exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of the Person to whom such old Physical Note was
registered; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.
(D) Transfers
of Notes Subject to Redemption or Repurchase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the Company,
the Trustee and the Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that (i) [reserved]; (ii) is
subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice validly delivered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to Section 5.02(F), except
to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to such notice or the Company fails to pay the applicable Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price when due; or (iii) has been selected for Redemption pursuant to a Redemption Notice or Optional Redemption Notice,
as applicable, except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to Redemption or the Company fails to pay the Redemption
Price or Optional Redemption Price, as applicable, when due.
Section 2.11. Exchange
and Cancellation of Notes to Be Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption.
(A) Partial
Repurchases of Physical Notes Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption. If only a portion of a Physical Note
of a Holder is to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption, then, as soon as reasonably practicable
after such Physical Note is surrendered for such repurchase, the Company will cause such Physical Note to be exchanged, pursuant and
subject to Section 2.10(C), for (i) one or more Physical Notes that are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Physical Note that is not to be repurchased, as applicable, and deliver such Physical
Note(s) to such Holder; and (ii) a Physical Note having a principal amount equal to the principal amount to be repurchased,
which Physical Note will be repurchased, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture; provided, however, that the Physical Note
referred to in this clause (ii) need not be issued at any time after which such principal amount subject to such repurchase,
is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.17.
(B) Cancellation
of Notes that Are Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption.
(i) Physical
Notes. If a Physical Note (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been exchanged pursuant to Section 2.11(A))
of a Holder is to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption, then, promptly after the later of the
time such Physical Note (or such portion) is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.17 and the time such
Physical Note is surrendered for such repurchase, as applicable, (1) such Physical Note will be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.14;
and (2) in the case of a partial repurchase, the Company will issue, execute and deliver to such Holder, and the Trustee will authenticate,
in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and
have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Physical Note that is not to be so repurchased; (y) are
registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.
(ii) [RESERVED].
Section 2.12. Replacement
Notes.
If a Holder of any Note claims
that such Note has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and upon receipt
of a Company Order the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a replacement Note upon surrender
to the Trustee of such mutilated Note, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note, the Company and the Trustee may
require the Holder thereof to provide such security or indemnity that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to protect
the Company and the Trustee from any loss, claim, cost or liability that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced.
Every
replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.12 will be an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled
to all of the benefits of the Indenture equally and ratably with all other Notes issued under the Indenture.
Section 2.13. Registered
Holders.
Only the Holder of a Note
will have rights under the Indenture as the owner of such Note.
Section 2.14. Cancellation.
Without limiting the generality
of Section 4.06, the Company may at any time deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying
Agent will forward to the Trustee each Note duly surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. Upon written instruction from
the Company, the Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company
may not originally issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been cancelled upon transfer, exchange or payment.
Section 2.15. Notes
Held by the Company or its Affiliates.
Without limiting the generality
of Sections 4.06 and 2.17, in determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have
concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates will be deemed not to be outstanding;
provided, however, that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying on any such direction,
waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.
Section 2.16. Temporary
Notes.
Until definitive Notes are
ready for delivery, the Company may issue, execute and deliver, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee will authenticate, in
each case in accordance with Section 2.02, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive
Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. The Company will promptly prepare, issue, execute
and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, definitive Notes in exchange
for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, each temporary Note will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture
as definitive Notes.
Section 2.17. Outstanding
Notes.
(A) Generally.
The Notes that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those Notes that, at such time, have been duly executed and authenticated,
excluding those Notes (or portions thereof) that have theretofore been (i) cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.14; (ii) paid in full in accordance with the Indenture; or (iii) deemed
to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, clause (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 2.17.
(B) Replaced
Notes. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its
replacement, unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such Note is held by a “bona
fide purchaser” under applicable law.
(C) Maturing
Notes and Notes Called for Redemption or Subject to Repurchase. If, on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or
the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price or Optional Redemption Price, as applicable,
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, respectively, together, in each case, with the aggregate interest, in each
case due on such date, then (unless there occurs a default in the payment of any such amount) (i) the Notes (or portions thereof)
to be redeemed or repurchased, or that mature, on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding, except to the
extent provided in Sections 5.02(D) or 5.03(E); and (ii) the rights of the Holders of such Notes (or such portions
thereof), as such, will terminate with respect to such Notes (or such portions thereof), other than the right to receive the Redemption
Price, the Optional Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, as applicable, of, and accrued and unpaid
interest on, such Notes (or such portions thereof), in each case as provided in the Indenture.
(D) [Reserved].
(E) Cessation
of Accrual of Interest. Except as provided in Sections 5.02(D) or 5.03(E), interest will cease to accrue on each
Note from, and including, the date that such Note is deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.17, to cease to be outstanding, unless
there occurs a default in the payment or delivery of any cash or other property due on such Note.
Section 2.18. Repurchases
by the Company.
Without limiting the generality
of Sections 2.14 and 4.06, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase Notes in open market purchases or in negotiated
transactions without delivering prior notice to Holders.
Section 2.19. CUSIP
and ISIN Numbers.
The Company may use one or
more CUSIP or ISIN numbers to identify any of the Notes, and, if so, the Company and the Trustee will use such CUSIP or ISIN number(s) in
notices to Holders; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee is not liable for CUSIP numbers printed on any Security,
notice or elsewhere (ii) the Trustee makes no representation as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP or ISIN number;
and (iii) the effectiveness of any such notice will not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, any such CUSIP or ISIN number.
The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN number(s) identifying any Notes.
Section 2.20. Trustee
Not Responsible for Securities Laws.
Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with
the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or other applicable laws.
Article 3. Common
stock
Section 3.01. Issuance
of Common Stock.
(A) Issuance
of Common Stock. On each issuance date on Exhibit G attached hereto (each such issuance date, a “Share Issuance
Date” and together, the “Share Issuance Dates”) and in the amount detailed on Exhibit G, without any
action on the part of the Holder or the Trustee, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of full shares of Common Stock to which
he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it and issue to the Holder a certificate
or book-entry position for such shares. No additional consideration shall be paid by the Holder in order to receive his, her or its Common
Stock on each Share Issuance Date. If there is more than one Holder on the Share Issuance Date, the amount detailed on Exhibit G
will be issued to the Holders of the Notes in a pro rata manner among all such Holders based on the percentage of then outstanding
principal amount of the Notes held by each such Holder.
(B) Date
of Issuance. Each person in whose name any such certificate or book-entry position for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for
all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on each Share Issuance Date, irrespective of
the date of delivery of such certificate or entry of such book-entry position.
(C) Delay
of Issuance when Share Issuance Date is Not a Trading Day. If a Share Issuance Date is not a Trading Day, then, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Indenture, such issuance shall be made on the immediately following Trading Day and no liquidated damages shall
accrue on such amount as a result of the related delay.
(D) Certain
Company Events. Upon (i) a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, exchange of shares, reclassification or recapitalization
occurring on or after the date hereof and on each subsequent occurrence, (ii) a reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding
up, combination, or merger of the Company occurring on or after the date hereof and on each subsequent occurrence, (iii) the declaration
or making of any dividend or other distribution of the Company’s assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares
of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) or (iv) other event in which the Common Stock is converted into other securities,
rights or property (each of (i) through (iv), “Certain Company Events”), the Holder shall receive (x) the
same per share consideration that the holders of Common Stock received or will receive in connection with such Certain Company Events
for the number of shares the Holder is entitled to pursuant to Section 3.01(A) above and (y) the same kind and
amount of consideration for all other events that the holders of Common Stock received or will receive in connection with such Certain
Company Events (including for the avoidance of doubt, for such shares the Holder is entitled to but has not yet received). If an event
or circumstance would render the Holder unable to receive the shares of Common Stock it is entitled to receive on each Share Issuance
Date, the Company shall, if permitted under applicable law, issue, without any action on the part of the Holder, the number of shares
the Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(A) above before giving effect to such event or circumstance. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, this Section 3.01(D) shall apply to all unissued shares of Common Stock detailed on
Exhibit G.
(E) Buy-In
and Liquidated Damages. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder on
the applicable Share Issuance Date (such shares to which the Holder is entitled being referred to as the “Undelivered Shares”)
in breach of this Indenture, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, if at or prior to the applicable Share
Issuance Date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage
firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Undelivered Shares which the
Holder anticipated receiving upon pursuant to this Section 3.01 (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall,
within five (5) Trading Days after the Holder’s request, (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (A) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the
amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Undelivered Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder, by (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including brokerage commissions, if any), and (ii) at
the option of the Holder, either (x) pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the number of Undelivered Shares multiplied by
the Daily VWAP of such shares on the applicable Share Issuance Date or (y) deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its issuance and delivery obligations hereunder. For example,
if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to a number of shares deliverable
pursuant to Section 3.01(A), with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (i) of
the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written
notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, written evidence of the
amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law
or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company
fails for any reason or for no reason to issue Common Stock to the Holder on the applicable Share Issuance Date in breach of this Indenture,
the Company shall pay the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Undelivered Shares (based on
the Daily VWAP of such shares on the applicable Share Issuance Date), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth
Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the applicable Share Issuance Date until such cash
amount is paid, and the Undelivered Shares are issued, to the Holder.
(F) Share
Reserve. So long as shares of Common Stock are required to be issued in accordance with Section 3.01(A), the Company
shall at all times have no less than a number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock reserved for any issuance of shares of
Common Stock equal to 9,629,629 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock combination, reverse stock split or similar transaction),
less a number of shares corresponding to the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued or delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(A) (as
adjusted for any stock combination, reverse stock split or similar transaction) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”);
provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 3.01(F) be reduced
other than in connection with any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. If at any time the number of shares
of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly
take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a
special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Indenture in
the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such authorized
number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to
ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Required
Reserve Amount cannot be used by the Company to satisfy any equivalent obligation under the Convertible Notes Indenture.
(G) Stock
Shortfall. On each Share Issuance Date detailed on Exhibit G attached hereto (each such Share Issuance Date, a “Stock
Shortfall Payment Date”), in addition to the obligations contained herein, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder an amount
equal to (i) (x) one dollar and thirty five cents ($1.35) minus (y) the average of the Daily VWAPs during the period commencing
on the day of and inclusive of the immediately preceding Stock Shortfall Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date) and ending on and
inclusive of the day before such Stock Shortfall Payment date (each such period, a “Stock Shortfall Period”) multiplied
by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock required to be issued pursuant to Section 3.01(A) hereof on such Stock
Shortfall Payment Date (without regard to any limitations on such issuance under this Indenture and the Notes); provided, that if the
resulting amount shall be negative, no payment pursuant to this Section 3.01(G) shall be made on such Stock Shortfall
Payment Date for such Stock Shortfall Period; provided, further, that at such time that the Common Stock ceases to be listed on any U.S.
national securities exchange, clause (y) above shall be deemed to be equal to zero (0) and all payments to be made pursuant to this
Section 3.01(G) across all remaining Stock Shortfall Payment Dates, including all accrued and unpaid interest (pursuant
to the following sentence), shall immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person (such date, the
“Accelerated Stock Shortfall Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during such time that the Common Stock
continues to be listed on any U.S. national securities exchange, if a Market Disruption Event that is not waived by the Holder occurs
on each Trading Day in a Stock Shortfall Period, clause (y) of the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to be equal to zero (0) for
such Stock Shortfall Period. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company fails for any reason or for no reason to make a payment pursuant
to this Section 3.01(G) by the applicable Stock Shortfall Payment Date or Accelerated Stock Shortfall Payment Date,
as the case may be, (such amount, the “Undelivered Stock Shortfall Payment”), the Company shall pay the Holder, in
cash, as interest and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Undelivered Stock Shortfall Payment, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20
per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such interest begins to accrue) for each Trading Day after the applicable Stock Shortfall
Payment Date or Accelerated Stock Shortfall Payment Date, as the case may be, until such Undelivered Stock Shortfall Payment is paid.
(H) Make-Whole.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, upon any redemption, repurchase, retirement of the Notes in connection
with a Fundamental Change, Event of Default, Redemption or similar event, the Company shall, on a contemporaneous basis, (x) issue
to the Holder, without any action on the part of the Holder, 100% of the remaining number of shares the Holder would otherwise have been
entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.01(A), through to and including the Maturity Date (provided, that, in the event
such redemption, repurchase, retirement or conversion or similar event involves fewer than all of the then-outstanding Notes, such issuance
will be made on a pro rata basis with the corresponding amount of Notes that are redeemed, repurchased, retired, converted or otherwise
extinguished under this Section 3.01(H)) and (y) make any payment that would have otherwise been required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.01(G) relating to such shares issued pursuant to subsection (x) as if the date of such redemption,
repurchase or retirement, were a Stock Shortfall Payment Date and the period commencing on the day of and inclusive of the immediately
preceding Stock Shortfall Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date) and ending on and inclusive of such date were the relevant Stock
Shortfall Period (the “Make-Whole Payment”).
(I) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Trustee shall have no obligations with respect to the Common Stock or the duties of the
Company set forth herein with respect to the Common Stock, including the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or any other cash payments
or other consideration due to Holders in respect of the Common Stock. In the absence of actual notice to the contrary, the Trustee shall
be able to conclusively and without liability presume that such Common Stock has been delivered and such payments have been made.

giving effect to all applicable grace periods under the Exchange Act); provided, however, that the Company need not send
to the Trustee any material for which the Company has received, or is seeking in good faith and has not been denied, confidential treatment
by the SEC. Any report that the Company files with the SEC through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be sent
to the Trustee at the time such report is so filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor). Upon the written request of any Holder,
the Company will provide to such Holder a copy of any report that the Company has sent the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.02(A),

of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 3.02 are for information purposes only and the sending or

the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that
may affect the covenants or the performance of the Notes or the Indenture; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages
of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to

corporate existence and the corporate existence of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company or
its Subsidiaries, as applicable; and
(B) the
material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
provided,
however, that the Company need not preserve or keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of any of its Subsidiaries
(other than ProductionCo while the Pledged Collateral remains subject to the Liens created by the Pledge Agreement) or any such license
or franchise if the Company determines in good faith that (x) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of
the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (y) the loss thereof is not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the Holders.
Section 4.06. Restriction
on Acquisition of Notes by the Company and its Affiliates.
The Company will promptly
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have purchased or otherwise acquired.
Section 4.07. Ranking.
All payments due under the
Notes shall rank (i) pari passu with all other Notes and the Convertible Notes, (ii) effectively senior to all unsecured Indebtedness
of the Company to the extent of the value of the Collateral securing the Notes for so long as the Collateral so secures the Notes in
accordance with the terms hereof and (iii) senior to any Subordinated Indebtedness.
Section 4.08. Incurrence
of Indebtedness.
The
Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to: (a) create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with
respect to any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness; (b) voluntarily prepay any Indebtedness except for (i) by the
conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities (other than Disqualified Stock) and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares
in connection with such conversion, and (ii) with the proceeds of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or (c) amend or modify
any documents or notes evidencing any Indebtedness in any manner which shortens the maturity date or any amortization or redemption date
thereof to a date that is earlier than ninety-one (91) days following the Maturity Date or otherwise imposes materially more burdensome
terms, taken as a whole, upon the Company or its Subsidiaries than exist in such Indebtedness prior to such amendment or modification
without the prior written consent of Holder.
Section 4.09. Liens.
The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

the ordinary course of business or loans not involving the net transfer on a substantially contemporaneous basis of cash proceeds to
employees, officers or directors relating to the purchase of Equity Interests of the Company pursuant to employee stock purchase plans
or other similar agreements approved by the Company’s Board of Directors), or guarantee the payment of any such loans granted by
a third party in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate or (d) waive, release or forgive any Indebtedness owed
by any employees, officers or directors in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate.

Subsidiary to, voluntarily or involuntarily transfer, sell, lease, license, lend or in any other manner convey any equitable, beneficial
or legal interest in any material portion of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole); provided, however, that
for the avoidance of doubt, the dilution arising from an equity or equity-linked financing that constitutes a Driftwood Financing within
the meaning of clause (iv) of the definition of Driftwood Financing shall not be deemed a transfer prohibited under this Section 4.12.
Section 4.13. Taxes.
The
Company and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due all material taxes, fees or other similar governmental charges (together with
any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries or their respective

The Company and its Subsidiaries shall file on or before the due date therefor all material personal property tax returns. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes, fees or other similar

all times liquidity calculated as unrestricted, unencumbered Cash or Cash Equivalents of the Company and its Subsidiaries, excluding

States (“Liquidity”) in an aggregate minimum amount equal to fifty million dollars ($50,000,000).
Section 4.15. Change
in Nature of Business.
The
Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, engage in any material line of business substantially
different from those lines of business conducted by or publicly contemplated to be conducted by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
on the Issue Date, and such activities related, ancillary or incidental thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes
of this Section 4.15, the line of business conducted by and publicly contemplated to be conducted by (x) the Driftwood
Companies and their Subsidiaries is the Driftwood Project and (y) ProductionCo and the Subsidiaries of ProductionCo is the ProductionCo
Operations.

effect.

any other securities or incur any Indebtedness, in either case, that would cause a Default under the Notes or the Indenture or that by

or the Indenture, including without limitation, the payment of interest and principal thereon.
Section 4.20. [Reserved].
Section 4.21. [Reserved].

The
Company shall maintain and preserve, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, all of its
properties which are necessary or useful (as determined by the Company in good faith) to the conduct of its business in good working
order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and comply at all times with the provisions of all leases to which it is a party
as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder, except, in each case, as
could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall cause all material assets used in the exploration,
drilling and extraction of natural gas and related and resulting products by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to
be held by ProductionCo or one or more of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and shall make no Investment in any material assets used in the
exploration, drilling and extraction of natural gas and related and resulting products other than through ProductionCo or one or more
of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries.
Section 4.24. Issuances
and Transfers of Equity Interests of ProductionCo.
(A) The
Company hereby represents that all of ProductionCo’s Equity Interests, equity interests and securities convertible into Equity
Interests of or equity interests in ProductionCo are pledged as Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. ProductionCo shall
not issue Equity Interests, any other equity interests, or any securities convertible into Equity Interests of or equity interests in
ProductionCo unless the same are pledged as Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.
(B) The
Pledgor shall not transfer all or any portion of ProductionCo’s Equity Interests, equity interests and securities convertible into
Equity Interests of or equity interests in ProductionCo to any Person, unless such Person is the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary

enters a new pledge agreement with the Collateral Trustee substantially in the form of the Pledge Agreement with respect to the Pledged
Collateral, which shall constitute the Pledge Agreement.
Article 5. Repurchase
and Redemption
Section 5.01. No
Sinking Fund.
No sinking fund is required
to be provided for the Notes.
Section 5.02. Right
of Holders to Require the Company to Repurchase Notes upon a Fundamental Change.
(A) Right
of Holders to Require the Company to Repurchase Notes Upon a Fundamental Change. Subject to the other terms of this Section 5.02,
if a Fundamental Change occurs, then each Holder will have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) to
require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) on the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(B) Repurchase
Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. If the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.02 and
such acceleration has not been rescinded on or before the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change
(including a rescission as a result of the payment of the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, and any related interest pursuant
to the proviso to Section 5.02(D), on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), then (i) the Company may not repurchase
any Notes pursuant to this Section 5.02; and (ii) the Company will cause any Notes theretofore surrendered for such
Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change to be returned to the Holders thereof.
(C) Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for any Fundamental Change will be a Business Day of the Company’s
choosing that is no more than thirty-five (35), nor less than twenty (20), Business Days after the date the Company sends the related
Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 5.02(E).
(D) Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note (or any portion of such Note) to be repurchased upon
a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change following a Fundamental Change is an amount in cash equal to the Fundamental Change Base Repurchase
Price for such Fundamental Change plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date for such Fundamental Change; provided, however, that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Regular
Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record
Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before
such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming,
solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date is before such Interest Payment Date). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day within the
meaning of Section 2.05(C) and such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date occurs on the Business Day immediately after
such Interest Payment Date, then (x) accrued and unpaid interest on Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be
paid, in accordance with Section 2.05(C), on the next Business Day to Holders as of the Close of Business on the immediately
preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will include interest on Notes to be repurchased
from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.
(E) Fundamental
Change Notice. On or before the twentieth (20th) calendar day after the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company will
send to each Holder, in writing, with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent a notice of such Fundamental Change (a “Fundamental
Change Notice”), which notice shall state the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and Fundamental Change Base Repurchase Price
of such Fundamental Change. Upon written request by the Company in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least five
(5) Business Days prior to the requested date of delivery (or such shorter time as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Trustee
shall send the Fundamental Change Notice to the Holders on behalf of the Company. The failure to deliver a Fundamental Change Notice
will not limit the Fundamental Change Repurchase right of any Holder or otherwise affect the validity of any proceedings relating to
any Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change.
(F) Procedures
to Exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.
(i) Delivery
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and Notes to Be Repurchased. To exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right for a Note
following a Fundamental Change, the Holder thereof must deliver to the Paying Agent:
(1) before
the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or such later time as may
be required by law), a duly completed, written Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to such Note; and
(2) such
Note, duly endorsed for transfer.
The Paying Agent will promptly deliver
to the Company a copy of each Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice that it receives.
(ii) Contents
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notices. Each Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note must state:
(1) if
such Note is a Physical Note, the certificate number of such Note;
(2) the
principal amount of such Note to be repurchased; and
(3) that
such Holder is exercising its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right with respect to such principal amount of such Note.
(iii) Withdrawal
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. A Holder that has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note
may withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent at any time before
the Close of Business on the third Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Such withdrawal notice
must state:
(1) if
such Note is a Physical Note, the certificate number of such Note;
(2) the
principal amount of such Note to be withdrawn, which must be an Authorized Denomination; and
(3) the
principal amount of such Note, if any, that remains subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which must be an Authorized
Denomination.
Upon receipt of any such withdrawal
notice with respect to a Note (or any portion thereof), the Paying Agent will (x) promptly deliver a copy of such withdrawal notice
to the Company; and (y) if such Note is surrendered to the Paying Agent, cause such Note (or such portion thereof in accordance
with Section 2.11, treating such Note as having been then surrendered for partial repurchase in the amount set forth in such
withdrawal notice as remaining subject to repurchase) to be returned to the Holder thereof.
(G) Payment
of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price within the time prescribed by Section 4.01(B), the Company will cause the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for a
Note (or portion thereof) to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before
the later of (i) the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and (ii) the date such Note is delivered to the Paying
Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.02(D) on any Note to be repurchased
pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change must be paid pursuant to such proviso regardless of whether such Note is delivered pursuant
to the first sentence of this Section 5.02(G).
(H) Compliance
with Applicable Securities Laws. To the extent applicable, the Company will comply with all federal and state securities laws in
connection with a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change (including complying with Rules 13e-4 and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
filing any required Schedule TO, to the extent applicable) so as to permit effecting such Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change in the manner
set forth in the Indenture. To the extent the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions in this Section 4.02(H) or
any other provision of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed
to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.02(H).
(I) Repurchase
in Part. Subject to the terms of this Section 5.02, Notes may be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change in part, but only in Authorized Denominations. Provisions of this Section 5.02 applying to the repurchase of a Note
in whole will equally apply to the repurchase of a permitted portion of a Note.
Section 5.03. Right
of the Holders to Redeem the Notes.
(A) No
Right to Redeem Before October 1, 2024. Unless in connection with a Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 5.02,
an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(ii) or an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01,
the Holders may not redeem the Notes at their option at any time before October 1, 2024.
(B) Redemption.
(i) Mandatory
Right to Redeem the Notes on or after October 1, 2024. Subject to the terms of this Section 5.03, on or after October 1,
2024, and solely if the Liquidity Threshold is not met on or after September 10, 2024 (at which time a Holder may provide written
notice to the Trustee and the Company that it is exercising its right to redeem such Holder’s Notes or a portion of such Holder’s
Note), each Holder may redeem such Holder’s Notes or a portion of such Holder’s Notes up to the entire principal amount of
such Note outstanding on such date, in an Authorized Denomination of such Note for a cash purchase price equal to the Redemption Price.
(ii) Optional
Redemption. Provided that a Fundamental Change Notice has not been delivered to each Holder pursuant to Section 5.02, at any
time or from time to time, the Company may provide written notice in the form of an Optional Redemption Notice to every Holder (with
a copy to the Trustee) calling all but not part of such Holder’s Notes for a cash purchase price equal to the cash amount of the
Optional Redemption Price (an “Optional Redemption”). At the Company’s request in an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of delivery, the Trustee shall send the Optional
Redemption Notice to the Holders on behalf of the Company. The Redemption Date of the Optional Redemption will be a Business Day of the
Company’s choosing that is no more than thirty-five (35), nor less than twenty (20) Business Days after the date the Company sends
the Optional Redemption Notice. Upon the Company’s compliance with its redemption obligations, the Collateral shall be automatically
released from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, and all obligations of the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors shall automatically
terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or any further action by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to
the applicable Grantors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not effect an Optional Redemption at any time that any of the
Events of Default set forth in Sections 8.01(a)(i)-(iii) shall have occurred and be continuing.
(C) Redemption
Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. If (i) the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02
and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or before a Redemption Date (including a rescission as a result of the payment of
the related Redemption Price, and any related interest pursuant to the proviso in Section 5.03(E), on such Redemption Date), or
(ii) a Fundamental Change has occurred and the Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice that has not been withdrawn
pursuant to Section 5.02(F)(iii), the Company will cause any Notes theretofore surrendered for such Redemption to be returned
to the Holders thereof.
(D) Redemption
Date. In the event of a Mandatory Redemption, a Holder choosing to exercise its right to redemption pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i) shall
provide written notice to the Trustee and the Company at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date that it is exercising
its right to redeem such Holder’s Note or a portion of such Holder’s Note on the date set forth in such notice and in the
event of an Optional Redemption, the date of the Optional Redemption set forth in the Optional Redemption Notice, shall be a Redemption
Date.
(E) Redemption
Price. The Redemption Price for any Note called for a Mandatory Redemption is an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of
such Note being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Redemption Date for such Mandatory Redemption;
provided, however, that the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately prior to the Redemption
Date will be entitled, notwithstanding any Redemption, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment
Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day within the meaning of Section 2.05(C) and such Redemption Date occurs on
the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date, then (x) accrued and unpaid interest on Notes to, but excluding,
such Interest Payment Date will be paid, in accordance with Section 2.05(C), on the next Business Day to Holders as of the Close
of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Redemption Price and Optional Redemption Price, as applicable,
will include interest on Notes to be redeemed from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.
(F) Redemption
Notices.
(i) Mandatory
Redemption Notice. To call a Holder’s Note for Redemption pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i), a Holder must send to
the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent a written notice of such Redemption in accordance with Section 5.03(D) (a
“Redemption Notice”).
Such Redemption Notice must
state:
(1) that
the Holder has called the Holder’s Notes for Redemption;
the
principal amount to be redeemed (or such lesser amount as the Holders may accept for redemption);
(2) the
Redemption Date for such Redemption;
the
Redemption Price for such Redemption (and, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment
Date, the amount, manner and timing of the interest payment payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.03(E)); and
(3) the
CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.
(ii) Optional
Redemption Notice. To offer the Holders an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(ii), the Company must send
(or cause to be sent) to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent a written notice of such Optional Redemption (an “Optional
Redemption Notice”).
Such Optional Redemption
Notice must state:
(1) that
the notice is an Optional Redemption Notice;
(2) the
principal amount to be redeemed, which shall be the full outstanding principal amount;
(3) the
Redemption Date for such Redemption;
(4) the
Optional Redemption Price for such Redemption (and, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest
Payment Date, the amount, manner and timing of the interest payment payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 4.03(E)); and
(5) the
CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.
(G) Payment
of the Optional Redemption Price and Redemption Price. Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Redemption
Price and the Optional Redemption Price, as applicable, by the time proscribed by Section 4.01(B), the Company will cause
the Redemption Price and the Optional Redemption Price, as applicable, for a Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption to be paid
to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Redemption Date, subject to Section 5.03(B). For the avoidance of doubt,
interest payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.03(E) on any Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption must
be paid pursuant to such proviso.
Article 6. Limitations
on ownership
Section 6.01. Limitations
on Ownership
(A) Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not issue shares pursuant to a
Note and any such issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
of shares of Common Stock, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties would collectively beneficially own in the aggregate
in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to such issuance of shares of Common Stock provided, that, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock required to be
issued pursuant to Section 3.01(A) shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times
as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time
or times the Holder shall be granted such shares (and any such shares declared or made on such initial issuance or on any subsequent
issuance held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Holder and such Holder’s Attribution Parties shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and such Holder’s other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable with respect to such issuance of shares of Common Stock (or applicable portion thereof) with respect to which
the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 6.01(A). For purposes of
this Section 6.01(A), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act. The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate the beneficial ownership of the Holder. For purposes of this Indenture and the
Notes and any issuance of the Notes, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Company may issue pursuant to
Article 3 without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected
in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K
or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other
written notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share
Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading
Day confirm in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including such Holder’s Note, by such Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding
Share Number was reported.
In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder pursuant to such Holder’s Note
would result in such Holder and such Holder’s other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more
than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act), the number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s and such Holder’s other Attribution Parties’ aggregate
beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall
be cancelled ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a
written notice to the Company, a Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not
in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be
effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or
decrease will apply only to such Holder and such Holder’s other Attribution Parties and not to any other Holder of Notes that is
not an Attribution Party of such Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture
and the Notes in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including
for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to issue shares of Common
Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this
paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of the ability to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner other than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6.01(A) to
the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 6.01(A) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable
to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor
holder of a Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for any issuance of shares in which any Holder, together with its
Attribution Parties, would beneficially own, in the aggregate, in excess of the Maximum Percentage of shares of Common Stock, such Holder
must deliver to the Company written notice at least one (1) Business Day in advance of such issuance of shares (the “Maximum
Percentage Notice”). The Maximum Percentage Notice will state that such issuance of shares will exceed the Maximum Percentage.
If such Holder fails to deliver the Maximum Percentage Notice, the Company shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Indenture for
the issuance of shares. The Holder will promptly inform the Company, in reliance on the Reported Outstanding Share Number, when all or
part of the shares of Common Stock can be issued without exceeding the Maximum Percentage of it and its Attribution Parties and the Company
shall promptly issue such shares.
(B) HSR
Clearance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the Company shall not issue shares pursuant to
a Note, and no Holder shall have any right to receive shares pursuant to a Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indenture
and such Holder’s Note, and any such issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, unless and until after giving
effect to such conversion or issuance of shares of Common Stock, the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), shall have expired or been terminated, and any required clearances
consents, approvals, and waivers under any other antitrust laws applicable to the consummation of any such issuance of shares of Common
Stock shall have been obtained. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, prior to the issuance of any shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Note, such Holder will, if required under the HSR Act, provide written notice pursuant to 16 C.F.R. § 803.5(a) to
the Company, and (x) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Indenture as promptly as practicable, (y) supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional
information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and (z) use its commercially reasonable efforts
to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 6.01(B) to
cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required authorizations, as applicable, under the
HSR Act as soon as practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall request and shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.
(C) Under
no circumstances shall the Trustee have any obligation to identify any beneficial owner of Common Stock, or otherwise make any determination,
monitor, or otherwise take any action with respect to the restrictions set forth in this Article 6.
Article 7. Successors
Section 7.01. When
the Company May Merge, Etc.
(A) Generally.
The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell,
lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person(a “Business Combination Event”), unless:
(i) the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is an entity (the “Successor
Entity”) duly organized and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization that expressly assumes (by executing
and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplement to this instrument) all
of the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents;
and
(ii) the
Company has complied with its obligations under Section 5.02 prior to the consummation of the Business Combination Event;
and
(iii) immediately
after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.
(B) Delivery
of Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee. Before the effective time of any Business Combination Event,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such Business
Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) comply with Section 7.01(A); and (ii) all
conditions precedent to such Business Combination Event provided in the Indenture have been satisfied.
Section 7.02. Successor
Entity Substituted.
At the effective time of
any Business Combination Event that complies with Section 7.01, the Successor Entity (if not the Company) will succeed to,
and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Entity
had been named as the Company in the Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged
from its obligations with respect to the Note under the Indenture and the Notes.
Article 8. Defaults
and Remedies
Section 8.01. Events
of Default.
(A) Definition
of Events of Default. “Event of Default” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) a
default in the payment when due (whether at maturity, upon Redemption or Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or otherwise) of the principal
of, or the Redemption Price, Optional Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, any Note;
(ii) a
default for two (2) Business Days in the payment when due of interest on any Note;
(iii) the
Company’s failure to timely deliver, when required by the Indenture, a Fundamental Change Notice;
(iv) a
materially false or inaccurate certification (including a false or inaccurate deemed certification) by the Company as to whether any
Event of Default has occurred;
(v) a
default in the Company’s obligations under Article 7 and Sections 3.01 (A), (G) and (H);
(vi) a
default in any of the Company’s obligations or agreements under the Indenture, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents (other
than a default set forth in clause (i) through (v) or (vii) through (xvii) of this Section 8.01(A)),
or a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in any material respect (other than representations or warranties subject to
material adverse effect or materiality qualifications, which may not be breached in any respect) of any Transaction Document; provided,
however, that if such default can be cured, then such default shall not be an Event of Default unless the Company has failed to
cure such default within the following number of applicable days after the Company becomes aware of, or by exercise of reasonable prudence
would have become aware of, its occurrence (the “Cure Period”) and provided, further, that solely with
respect to a default of the covenant set forth in Section 4.14, there must be a minimum of (30) days between any two Cure
Periods: (A) with respect to a default in respect of the covenants set forth in Section 4.08, Section 4.09,
Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.12, Section 4.14 (other than set forth in (B) below),
Section 4.15, Section 4.18, Section 4.19 or Section 4.24 herein, five (5) days;
(B) with respect to a default of the covenant set forth in Section 4.14 herein occurring prior to June 30, 2024,
thirty (30) days; provided, that, at the time of such default and during the related Cure Period (x) the Company has a market capitalization
equal to or greater than seven hundred million dollars ($700,000,000) as measured by Bloomberg L.P., (y) the Equity Conditions are
satisfied and (z) the Company has Liquidity of equal to or greater than twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000) or (C) otherwise,
thirty (30) days. For the avoidance of doubt, the five (5) day Cure Period will apply under subsection (B) above, if during
such thirty (30) day period, the Company decreases its Liquidity below twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000);
(vii) (i) the
failure of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to pay when due (giving effect to any applicable grace period) any Indebtedness
having a principal amount in excess of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate
of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness exists as of the Issue Date or is thereafter created;
or (ii) the occurrence of any breach or default under any terms or provisions of any other Indebtedness in a principal amount in
excess of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries, if the effect of such failure or occurrence is to cause such Indebtedness to become or be declared due prior
to its stated maturity; provided, however, that if prior to any acceleration of the Notes, any such failure, breach or default in respect
of such other Indebtedness is cured or waived, any acceleration related thereto rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid during the
ten (10) Business Day period commencing upon the end of any applicable grace period for any such failure to pay or the occurrence
of such acceleration, as the case may be, any Default or Event of Default (but not any acceleration of the Notes) caused by such failure,
breach, default or acceleration shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment, decree
or applicable law;
(viii) one
or more final judgments, orders or awards (or any settlement of any litigation or other proceeding that, if breached, could result in
a judgment, order or award) for the payment of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the
aggregate (excluding any amounts covered by insurance pursuant to which the insurer has been notified and has not denied coverage), is
rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and remains unsatisfied and (i) enforcement proceedings shall
have been commenced by any creditor upon any such judgment, order or award or settlement or (ii) there shall be a period of ten
(10) consecutive Business Days after entry thereof during which (A) a stay of enforcement thereof is not in effect or (B) the
same is not vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal;
(ix) the
Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, either:
(1) commences
a voluntary case or proceeding;
(2) consents
to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;
(3) consents
to the appointment of a custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property;
(4) makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
(5) takes
any comparable action under any foreign Bankruptcy Law; or
(6) generally
is not paying its debts as they become due; or
(x) a
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that either:
(1) is
for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding;
(2) appoints
a custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or for any substantial part of the property of the Company or any
of its Significant Subsidiaries;
(3) orders
the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or
(4) grants
any similar relief under any foreign Bankruptcy Law,
and, in each case under this Section 8.01(A)(x),
such order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least thirty (30) days; and
(xi) the
Pledge Agreement or Mortgages shall for any reason fail or cease to create a separate valid and perfected first priority (subject to
Permitted Liens, including those that arise by operation of law) Lien on a material portion of the Collateral, in each case, in favor
of the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the terms thereof, or any material provision of Pledge Agreement or Mortgages shall at any
time for any reason cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company or the validity or enforceability thereof shall
be contested by any party thereto, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any governmental authority having jurisdiction
over the Company, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof;
(xii) [reserved];
(xiii) [reserved];
(xiv) the
suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed on an Eligible Exchange for a period of three (3) consecutive
Trading Days;
(xv) [reserved];
(xvi) the
Company is in material breach of Section 4(r) of the Securities Purchase Agreement; and
(xvii) the
Company (A) fails to timely file its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or its annual reports on Form 10-K with the SEC in
the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act (giving effect to any applicable extensions or grace periods) or
(B) restates any such quarterly report or annual report previously filed with the Commission as a result of a misstatement or omission
in quarterly report or annual report that would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
(B) Cause
Irrelevant. Each of the events set forth in Section 8.01(A) will constitute an Event of Default regardless of the
cause thereof or whether voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
(C) Notice
of Events of Default. Promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Company becomes aware of, or by
exercise of reasonable prudence would have become aware of, an Event of Default, the Company will provide written notice of such Event
of Default (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Collateral Agent, Collateral Trustee and a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, which Event of Default Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) the
date on which the Event of Default occurred and (iii) the date on which the Event of Default initially occurred.
Section 8.02. Acceleration.
(A) Automatic
Acceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default set forth in Section 8.01(A)(ix) or 8.01(A)(x) occurs
with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then an amount equal to the Acceleration
Amount will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.
(B) Optional
Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 8.01(A)(ix) or 8.01(A)(x) with
respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, then the Required
Holders, by providing written notice to the Company and the Trustee (an “Optional Acceleration Notice”), may declare
an amount equal to the Acceleration Amount with respect to all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately.
(C) Rescission
of Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the Required Holders, by notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any 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 (except
the non-payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or
waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 8.03. Other
Remedies.
(A) Trustee
May Pursue All Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of any amounts due with respect to the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Indenture or the Notes.
(B) Procedural
Matters. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in such
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy following an Event of Default will not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, such Event of Default. All remedies will be cumulative to the
extent permitted by law.
(C) Deposit
Account Control Agreement. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notice has been delivered by the Collateral
Trustee pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall not, and the Collateral Agent shall not instruct the
Collateral Trustee to, issue any instructions with respect to any account subject to any Deposit Account Control Agreement or any cash
or other assets on deposit in or held in any such account and shall not give instructions on consent to the delivery of any such exercise
or issuance by the Collateral Trustee unless required under the Collateral Trust Agreement, but will otherwise continue to exercise dominion
or control over such account.
Section 8.04. Waiver
of Past Defaults.
An Event of Default pursuant
to clause (i), (ii) or (vi) of Section 8.01(A) (provided that, in the case of clause
(vii) only, such Event of Default results from a Default under any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each
affected Holder), and a Default that could lead to such an Event of Default, can be waived only with the consent of each affected Holder.
Each other Default or Event of Default may be waived, on behalf of all Holders, by the Required Holders by written notice to the Company
and the Trustee. If an Event of Default is so waived, then it will cease to exist. If a Default is so waived, then it will be deemed
to be cured. However, no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right arising therefrom.
Section 8.05. Control
by Majority.
Subject
to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee
and Collateral Agent each may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, the Indenture, the Notes, or any other Collateral
Document or that, the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders
(it being understood that the Trustee and Collateral Agent do not have an affirmative duty to determine whether any direction is prejudicial
to the rights of any Holder) or may involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in liability, unless the Trustee or Collateral Agent
is offered security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, against any loss, liability or expense
to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, that may result from the Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable,
following such direction.
Section 8.06. Limitation
on Suits.
No
Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes (except to enforce (x) its rights to receive the
principal of, or the Redemption Price, Optional Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, any Notes;
or (y) its rights to receive shares of Common Stock issuable under Section 3.01(A), cash payments under Section 3.01 (G) or
a Make-Whole Payment under Section 3.01(H)), unless:
(A) such
Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee notice of an Event of Default;
(B) the
Required Holders deliver a request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;
(C) such
Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s following such request;
(D) the
Trustee does not comply with such request within sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such request and such offer of security
or indemnity; and
(E) during
such sixty (60) calendar day period, the Required Holders do not deliver to the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.
A
Holder of a Note may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Holder. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Holder’s use of the Indenture complies with the preceding
sentence.
Section 8.07. Absolute
Right of Holders to Receive Payment and to Institute Suit for the Enforcement of such Right.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes (but without limiting Section 9.01), the right of each Holder
of a Note to receive (i) the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.01(A) of this Indenture, (ii) cash
payments under Section 3.01(G) of this Indenture, (iii) a Make-Whole Payment under Section 3.01(H) of this Indenture
and (iv) payment or delivery, as applicable, of the principal of, or the Redemption Price, Optional Redemption Price or Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, such Note on or after the respective due dates therefor provided in the Indenture and
the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery after such respective due dates, will not be impaired
or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 8.08. Collection
Suit by Trustee.
The
Trustee will have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or
(v) of Section 8.01(A), to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
for (x) the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.01(A) of this Indenture and (y) the total unpaid
or undelivered principal of, or Redemption Price, Optional Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on,
as applicable, and, to the extent lawful, any Default Interest, and such further amounts sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including compensation provided for in Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture; provided that nothing in this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to take ownership, control or possession of or to assist in the delivery of Common Stock.
Section 8.09. Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.
The
Trustee has the right to (A) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon
the Notes) or its creditors or property and (B) collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims. Each Holder authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the
Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be
secured by a lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise).
Nothing in the Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 8.10. Priorities.
The Trustee will pay or deliver
in the following order any money or other property that it collects or receives from the Company, the Collateral Agent or from the Collateral
Trustee pursuant to this Article 8:
First: to
the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under the Base
Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture and the Collateral Documents, including payment of all fees, compensation, expenses and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, and the costs and expenses
of collection;
Second: to
Holders for unpaid amounts or other property due on the Notes, including the principal of, or the Redemption Price, Optional Redemption
Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or any Acceleration Amount due, or any Make-Whole Payment due,
or any cash payment required on a Stock Shortfall Payment Date, ratably, and without preference or priority of any kind, according to
such amounts or other property due and payable on all of the Notes; and
Third: to
the Company or such other Person as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.
The Trustee may fix a record
date and payment date for any payment or delivery to the Holders pursuant to this Section 8.10, in which case the Trustee
will instruct the Company to, and the Company will, deliver, at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such record date, to each Holder
and the Trustee a notice stating such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment or nature of such delivery, as applicable.
Section 8.11. Undertaking
for Costs.
In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or the Notes or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court, in its discretion, may (A) require the filing by any litigant party in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and (B) assess reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against
any litigant party in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such litigant party;
provided, however, that this Section 8.11 does not apply to any suit by the Trustee, any suit by a Holder pursuant
to Section 8.07 or any suit by the Required Holders.
Section 8.12. Trustee’s
Obligation to Provide Notice of Defaults to Holders.
If
a Default has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default occurs and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
then the Trustee will send Holders a notice of such Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs or, if
it is not actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at such time, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business
Days) after it becomes actually known to a Responsible Officer; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default
or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and for so
long as it in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Holders. The Trustee will not be deemed to
have notice of any Default or Event of Default (other than a Default of any payment) unless written notice of any event that is in fact
such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer at the address of the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.01,
and such notice references the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture and states it is a notice of default.

Supplements and Waivers
Section 9.01. Without
the Consent of Holders.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in Section 9.02, the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may amend or supplement

with Section 3.25(B);

Section 9.02. With
the Consent of Holders.
(A) Generally.
Subject to Sections 9.01, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.07 and the immediately following sentence, the Company, the Trustee
and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may, with the consent of the Required Holders, amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes
or the Collateral Documents or waive compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, but subject to Section 9.01, without the consent of each affected Holder,
no amendment or supplement to the Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of the Indenture or the Notes, may:
(i) reduce
the principal, or extend the stated maturity, of any Note;
(ii) reduce
the Redemption Price, Optional Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note or change the times at which, or
the circumstances under which, the Notes may or will be redeemed or repurchased by the Company;
(iii) reduce
the rate, or extend the time for the payment, of interest on any Note;
(iv) reduce
the amount, or extend the time for the issuance, of any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.01(A) or cash
payment on the Stock Shortfall Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.01(G) or Make-Whole Payment pursuant to Section 3.01(H) of

(v) impair
the rights of any Holder set forth in Section 8.07 (as such section is in effect on the Issue Date);
(vi) change
the ranking of the Notes;
(vii) make
any Note payable in money, or at a place of payment, other than that stated in the Indenture or the Note;
(viii) reduce
the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification; or
(ix) make
any change to this Section 8.02 or any other amendment, supplement, waiver or modification provision of the Indenture or the Notes
that requires the consent of each affected Holder.
For the avoidance of doubt,
pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 9.02(A), no amendment
or supplement to the Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of the Indenture or the Notes, may change the amount or type
of consideration due on any Note (whether on an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity
Date, or otherwise), or the date(s) or time(s) such consideration is payable or deliverable, as applicable, without the consent
of each affected Holder.
(B) Holders
Need Not Approve the Particular Form of any Amendment. A consent of any Holder pursuant to this Section 9.02 need
only approve the substance, and not necessarily the particular form, of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.03. Notice
of Amendments, Supplements and Waivers.
As soon as reasonably practicable
after any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to Section 9.01 or 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will send
to the Holders and the Trustee notice that (A) describes the substance of such amendment, supplement or waiver in reasonable detail
and (B) states the effective date thereof; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to provide such
notice to the Holders if such amendment, supplement or waiver is included in a periodic report filed by the Company with the SEC within
four (4) Business Days of its effectiveness. The failure to send, or the existence of any defect in, such notice will not impair
or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.04. Revocation,
Effect and Solicitation of Consents; Special Record Dates; Etc.
(A) Revocation
and Effect of Consents. The consent of a Holder of a Note to an amendment, supplement or waiver will bind (and constitute the consent
of) each subsequent Holder of any Note to the extent the same evidences any portion of the same indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s
Note, subject to the right of any Holder of a Note to revoke (if not prohibited pursuant to Section 9.04(B)) any such consent
with respect to such Note by delivering notice of revocation to the Trustee before the time such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective.
(B) Special
Record Dates. The Company may, but is not required to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent
or take any other action in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 9. If a record date
is fixed, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04(A), only Persons who are Holders as of such record
date (or their duly designated proxies) will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any
such action, regardless of whether such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; provided, however, that
no such consent will be valid or effective for more than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after such record date.
(C) Solicitation
of Consents. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in the Indenture or the Notes to the consent of a Holder will be deemed to
include any such consent obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, any Notes.
(D) Effectiveness
and Binding Effect. Each amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 9 will become effective in accordance
with its terms and, when it becomes effective with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof), will thereafter bind every Holder of
such Note (or such portion).
Section 9.05. Notations
and Exchanges.
If
any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee, at the Company’s direction, or the Company may,
in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee, at the Company’s direction,
may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion,
the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance
with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue
a new Note pursuant to this Section 9.05 will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.06. Trustee
to Execute Supplemental Indentures.
The Trustee and the Collateral
Agent will execute and deliver any supplemental indenture or amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9; provided,
however, that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent need not (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) execute or deliver
any such amendment or supplemental indenture that adversely affects the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s rights, duties,
liabilities, indemnities or immunities. In executing any such supplemental indenture or amendment, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent
will be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Base Indenture) will be fully protected in relying on, an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by the Indenture; and (B) in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment or supplemental indenture
is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
Article 10. Satisfaction
and Discharge
Section 10.01. Termination
of Company’s Obligations.
The
Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect, as to all Notes issued under the Indenture, when:
(A) all
Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.12) have (i) been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or (ii) become due and payable (whether on the Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity
Date) for an amount of cash that has been fixed;
(B) the
Company has caused there to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, or with the Paying Agent, in each case for the benefit of the
Holders, or has otherwise caused there to be delivered to the Holders, cash sufficient to satisfy all amounts or other property due on
all Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.12);
(C) the
Company has paid all other amounts payable by it under the Indenture with respect to the Notes; and
(D) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent
to the discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes have been satisfied;
provided,
however, that Article 13 of this Indenture and Section 14.01 will survive such discharge and, until no
Notes remain outstanding, Section 2.14 and the obligations of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to money or other
property deposited with them will survive such discharge.
At the Company’s written
request, the Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as to the Notes.
Section 10.02. Repayment
to Company.
Subject to applicable unclaimed
property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will promptly notify the Company if there exists (and, at the Company’s request,
promptly deliver to the Company) any cash or other property held by any of them for payment or delivery on the Notes that remain unclaimed
two (2) years after the date on which such payment or delivery was due. After such delivery to the Company, the Trustee and the
Paying Agent will have no further liability to any Holder with respect to such cash or other property, and Holders entitled to the payment
or delivery of such cash or other property must look to the Company for payment as a general creditor of the Company.
Section 10.03. Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or the Paying
Agent is unable to apply any cash or other property deposited with it pursuant to Section 10.01 because of any legal proceeding
or any order or judgment of any court or other governmental authority that enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits such application,
then the discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.01 will be rescinded; provided, however, that if
the Company thereafter pays or delivers any cash or other property due on the Notes to the Holders thereof, then the Company will be
subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such cash or other property from the cash or other property, if any, held by the
Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable.

(c) to
take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Collateral Documents, the Liens created thereby or the Collateral.

Subject in all cases to the
Collateral Trust Agreement, if any collateral securing any of the Notes is sold or otherwise realized upon by the Collateral Agent in
connection with any foreclosure, collection or other enforcement of Liens or security interests granted to the Collateral Agent or by

enforcement will be delivered by the Collateral Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance with Section 8.10.
Subject to the provisions of Article 13
of this Indenture and to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Agent may direct, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes,
the Collateral Trustee to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to enforce any of the terms of any applicable collateral
documents and to collect and receive any and all amounts payable by the Company in respect of the Notes.
Section 11.03. Limitation

be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of any collateral securing the Notes in its possession if such collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss
or diminution in the value of any such collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent
or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the collateral securing the Notes or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability
of the liens or securities interests in any such collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission
to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of any such collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the
validity of the title of the Company to any such collateral, for insuring any such collateral or for the payment of taxes, insurance
premiums or other related payments, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of any such
collateral.
The Collateral Agent is authorized
and directed to (i) enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Closing, (ii) bind
the Trustee and the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Transaction Documents, and (iii) perform and observe its obligations
under the Transaction Documents.

to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall only act pursuant to the instructions of the requisite Holders or in accordance
with the Collateral Trust Agreement, with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Collateral and the Trustee shall have no obligation
to provide any direction or instruction to the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such or in its capacity as Secured Parity Lien Representative.
Any corporation or association
into which either the Collateral Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer
all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association
resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which the Collateral Agent, is a party, will be and become
the successor to the Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Secured Parity Lien Representative), under this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without
the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a conflict with the terms of this Section 11.03 and the terms of the Collateral
Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement will control.
The Collateral Agent may
resign at any time without cause by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders. The
Holders that hold the majority of the outstanding Notes may at any time remove the Collateral Agent without cause by an instrument in
writing delivered to the Issuer, the other Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. No resignation by or removal of the Collateral
Agent pursuant to this Section 11.03 shall become effective prior to the date of appointment by such Holders of a successor
Collateral Agent and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Collateral Agent.

an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and

(G) The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, judgment, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other
paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it
may see fit.
(H) The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual

Section 13.03. Individual
Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company

Sections 13.10 and 13.11 of this Indenture.
Section 13.04. Trustee’s
Disclaimer.
The Trustee makes no representation
as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or any other Transaction Document, it shall not be accountable for the

authentication.
Section 13.05. [Reserved].
Section 13.06. [Reserved].
Section 13.07. Compensation
and Indemnity.
The Company shall pay to
the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree upon in writing.
The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall
pay or reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s
agents and counsel.
The Company shall indemnify
each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, attorneys-in-fact
and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any claim, action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity, damage, demand, expense (including
but not limited to reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel), loss, expenses, fees
or charges (including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee)) or liability incurred by them without negligence
or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and their rights
or duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including enforcement of this indemnity). The Trustee shall notify the Company
promptly of any third party claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend such claim and the Trustee shall cooperate
in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel (plus local counsel, if applicable) and the Company shall pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee.
The Company need not reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or
agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence.
To secure the Company’s
payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on the Notes.
When the Trustee incurs expenses
or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Sections 8.01(A)(ix) and 8.01(A)(x) of this Indenture
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute administrative expenses for purposes of priority
under any Bankruptcy Law.
The Company’s obligations
under this Section 13.07 of this Indenture and any Lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Trustee, the repayment of the Securities, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article 13 of this
Indenture and any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law.
Section 13.08. Replacement
of Trustee.
A resignation or removal
of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment
as provided in this Section.
The
Trustee may resign with respect to the Notes by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the
Trustee and the Company at least 30 days prior to the requested date of removal. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the
Notes if:
(a) the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 13.10 of this Indenture;
(b) the
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(c) a
Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(d) the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
If
a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes may, at the sole expense of
the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after
that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the Lien provided for
in Section 13.07 of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and
the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to the Notes for which it is acting as
Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Holder of each such Series. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 13.08 of this Indenture, the Company’s obligations under Section 13.07
of this Indenture hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred
by it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights, powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement.
Section 13.09. Successor
Trustee by Merger, Etc.

with, merges or converts into, or sells or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,
the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 13.10 of this Indenture.

the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
Section 14.06. Governing
Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Notes
Section 2.01. Form,
Dating and Denominations.

required by Section 2.09 and may bear notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule. Each Note

will have the same rights to deal with the Company as the Trustee would have if it were performing the duties that the authentication
agent was validly appointed to undertake.
Section 2.03. Initial
Notes.
On
the Issue Date, there will be originally issued eighty three million and three hundred and thirty four thousand dollars ($83,334,000)
aggregate principal amount of Notes, subject to the provisions of the Indenture (including Section 2.02). Notes issued pursuant
to this Section 2.03, and any Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, are referred to in the Indenture
as the “Initial Notes.”
Section 2.04. Method
of Payment.
(A) [RESERVED].
(B) Physical
Notes. The Company will pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, the principal (whether due upon maturity on the Maturity Date, Redemption
on a Redemption Date or repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, pursuant to an Optional Acceleration Notice or otherwise)
of, interest on, and any cash Conversion Consideration for, any Physical Note no later than the time the same is due as provided in the
Indenture as follows: (i) if the principal amount of such Physical Note is at least ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (or such lower
amount as the Company may choose in its sole and absolute discretion) and the Holder of such Physical Note entitled to such payment has
delivered to the Paying Agent or the Trustee, no later than the time set forth in the immediately following sentence, a written request
that the Company make such payment by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to such account; and (ii) in all other cases, by check mailed to the address of the Holder of such Physical Note
entitled to such payment as set forth in the Register. To be timely, such written request must be so delivered no later than the Close
of Business on the following date: (x) with respect to the payment of any interest due on an Interest Payment Date, the immediately
preceding Regular Record Date; (y) with respect to any cash Conversion Consideration, the relevant Conversion Date; and (z) with
respect to any other payment, the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days immediately before the date such payment is due.
Section 2.05. Accrual
of Interest; Default Interest; When Payment Date is Not a Business Day.
(A) Accrual
of Interest. Each Note will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 6.00% (the “Stated Interest”), plus any
Default Interest that may accrue pursuant to Section 2.05(B). Stated Interest on each Note will (i) accrue on the
principal amount of each Note; (ii) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which Stated Interest has been paid or
duly provided for (or, if no Stated Interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the Issue Date) to, but excluding, the date
of payment of such Stated Interest; (iii) be paid to Holder in cash, subject to Sections 5.02(D), 5.03(E) and
6.04 (but without duplication of any payment of interest), quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on the
first Interest Payment Date set forth in the certificate representing such Note, to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business
on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date and (iv) be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount of Stated Interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall
be due and payable under this Indenture or the Notes.
(B) Default
Interest. If an Event of Default occurs, then, in each case, to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”)
will accrue on the principal amount then outstanding at a rate per annum equal to twelve percent (12.0%), from, and including, the date
of such Event of Default, to, but excluding, the date such Event of Default is cured or waived and all outstanding Default Interest has
been paid. Default Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, subject to Section 5.02(D),
5.03(E) and 6.04 will be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) the first day of each calendar month and
(ii) the date such Event of Default is cured or waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount of Default Interest in excess
of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be due and payable under this Indenture or the Notes. The
Company may pay the Default Interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause
to be fixed any such special record date and payment date (which special record date shall not be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date) and shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of
Default Interest to be paid.
(C) Delay
of Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day. If the due date for a payment on a Note as provided in the Indenture is not a
Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, such payment may be made on the immediately
following Business Day and no interest will accrue on such payment as a result of the related delay.
(D) Classification
of Interest Payments. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to interest, whether accrued or paid, shall refer
to cash interest in respect of the Notes, it being understood that Common Stock issued to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.01
shall be classified as interest payments for tax purposes.1
Section 2.06. Registrar,
Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.
(A) Generally.
The Company will maintain (i) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for registration
of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”); (ii) an office or agency in the continental United States where
Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”); and (iii) an office or agency in the continental United
States where Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”). If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar,
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then the Trustee will act as such. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.
(B) Duties
of the Registrar. The Registrar will keep a record (the “Register”) of the names and addresses of the Holders,
the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase, Redemption and conversion of Notes. Absent manifest error, the
entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Trustee may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in
the Register as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written
form reasonably promptly.
1 Subject to ongoing tax review.
(C) Co-Agents;
Company’s Right to Appoint Successor Registrars, Paying Agents and Conversion Agents. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars,
co-Paying Agents and co-Conversion Agents, each of whom will be deemed to be a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable,
under the Indenture. Subject to Section 2.06(A), the Company may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent
(including appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act in such capacity) without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify
the Trustee (and, upon request, any Holder) of the name and address of each Note Agent, if any, not a party to the Indenture and will
enter into an appropriate agency agreement with each such Note Agent, which agreement will implement the provisions of the Indenture
that relate to such Note Agent.
(D) Initial
Appointments. The Company appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent, the initial Registrar and the initial Conversion Agent.
None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Conversion Agent shall be deemed an agent for the Company for purposes of
service of legal process.
Section 2.07. Paying
Agent and Conversion Agent to Hold Property in Trust.
The
Company will require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that is not the Trustee to agree in writing that such Note Agent will (A) hold
in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by such Note Agent for payment or delivery due on
the Notes; and (B) notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery. The
Company, at any time, may, and the Trustee, while any Default continues, may, require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to pay or deliver,
as applicable, all money and other property held by it to the Trustee, after which payment or delivery, as applicable, such Note Agent
(if not the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for such money or property. If the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, or Conversion Agent, then (A) it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit
of the Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent; and (B) references in
the Indenture or the Notes to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent holding cash or other property, or to the delivery of cash or other
property to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, in each case for payment or delivery to any Holders or the Trustee or with respect
to the Notes, will be deemed to refer to cash or other property so segregated and held separately, or to the segregation and separate
holding of such cash or other property, respectively. Upon the occurrence of any event pursuant to clause (ix) or (x) of
Section 8.01(A) with respect to the Company (or with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company acting as Paying Agent
or Conversion Agent), the Trustee will serve as the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, for the Notes. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein, Trustee shall have no obligation to hold or deliver shares of Common Stock. Any delivery of shares
of Common Stock (including any delivery of Common Stock in connection with the enforcement of remedies), shall be made by the Company
directly to the Holders through its stock transfer agent and the Trustee shall have no involvement in such delivery.
Section 2.08. Holder
Lists.
If
the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee, no later than seven (7) Business Days before each Interest
Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request, a list, in such form and as of such date or time as the Trustee
may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders.
Section 2.09. Legends.
(A) Legends.
(i) Except
as permitted by the following paragraph (ii), each certificate evidencing the Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in
substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS
ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”),
AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION
THEREFROM.
THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR
THE BENEFIT OF TELLURIAN INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, THAT (A) THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS

FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (III) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN
EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (IV) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE
HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED
TO IN (A) ABOVE.
Each definitive Note shall also bear
the following additional legend:
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER
WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH REGISTRAR MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT
THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.
(ii) Upon
any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security pursuant to Rule 144, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof
to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a certificated Note that does not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any
restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that
such sale or transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note).
(B) Other
Legends. A Note may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with the Indenture, as may be required by applicable law or by
any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Note is traded or quoted.
(C) Acknowledgement
and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Note bearing any legend required by this Section 2.09
will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgement of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.
Section 2.10. Transfers
and Exchanges; Certain Transfer Restrictions.

(i) Subject
to this Section 2.10, Physical Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time and the Registrar will record each

evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture, as such old Note or portion thereof, as applicable.
(iii) The
Company, the Trustee and the Note Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer, exchange or conversion of

tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.16 or 8.05 not involving any transfer.
(iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, a Note may not be transferred or exchanged in part unless the portion to be so
transferred or exchanged is in an Authorized Denomination.
(v) The
Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any transfer restrictions imposed under
the Indenture or applicable law with respect to any Note Security, other than to require the delivery of such certificates or other documentation
or evidence as expressly required by the Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the requirements
of the Indenture.
(vi) Each
Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another Note will bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.

surrendered for conversion, except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to conversion; (ii) is subject to
a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice validly delivered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to Section 5.02(F), except to the
extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to such notice or the Company fails to pay the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price when due; or (iii) has been selected for Redemption pursuant to a Redemption Notice, except to the extent that any portion
of such Note is not subject to Redemption or the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price when due.
Section 2.11. Exchange
and Cancellation of Notes to Be Converted or Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption.
(A) Partial
Conversions of Physical Notes and Partial Repurchases of Physical Notes Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption.
If only a portion of a Physical Note of a Holder is to be converted pursuant to Article 6 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase
Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption, then, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Physical Note is surrendered for such conversion
or repurchase, the Company will cause such Physical Note to be exchanged, pursuant and subject to Section 2.10(C), for (i) one
or more Physical Notes that are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
Physical Note that is not to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable, and deliver such Physical Note(s) to such Holder; and
(ii) a Physical Note having a principal amount equal to the principal amount to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable,
which Physical Note will be converted or repurchased, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture; provided, however,
that the Physical Note referred to in this clause (ii) need not be issued at any time after which such principal amount
subject to such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.17.
(B) Cancellation
of Notes that Are Converted and Notes that Are Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption.
(i) Physical
Notes. If a Physical Note (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been exchanged pursuant to Section 2.11(A))
of a Holder is to be converted pursuant to Article 6 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Redemption,
then, promptly after the later of the time such Physical Note (or such portion) is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.17
and the time such Physical Note is surrendered for such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, (1) such Physical Note will
be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.14; and (2) in the case of a partial conversion or repurchase, the Company will
issue, execute and deliver to such Holder, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02,
one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Physical Note that is not to be so converted or repurchased; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and
(z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.
(ii) [RESERVED].
Section 2.12. Replacement
Notes.
If a Holder of any Note claims
that such Note has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and upon receipt
of a Company Order the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a replacement Note upon
surrender to the Trustee of such mutilated Note, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note, the Company and the
Trustee may require the Holder thereof to provide such security or indemnity that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee
to protect the Company and the Trustee from any loss, claim, cost or liability that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced.
Every
replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.12 will be an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled
to all of the benefits of the Indenture equally and ratably with all other Notes issued under the Indenture.
Section 2.13. Registered
Holders.
Only the Holder of a Note
will have rights under the Indenture as the owner of such Note.
Section 2.14. Cancellation.
Without limiting the generality
of Section 4.06, the Company may at any time deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent
and the Conversion Agent will forward to the Trustee each Note duly surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion.
Upon written instruction from the Company, the Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary
procedures. The Company may not originally issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been cancelled upon transfer,
exchange, payment or conversion.
Section 2.15. Notes
Held by the Company or its Affiliates.
Without limiting the generality
of Sections 4.06 and 2.17, in determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have
concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates will be deemed not to be outstanding;
provided, however, that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying on any such direction,
waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.
Section 2.16. Temporary
Notes.
Until definitive Notes are
ready for delivery, the Company may issue, execute and deliver, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee will authenticate, in
each case in accordance with Section 2.02, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive
Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. The Company will promptly prepare, issue, execute
and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, definitive Notes in exchange
for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, each temporary Note will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture
as definitive Notes.
Section 2.17. Outstanding
Notes.
(A) Generally.
The Notes that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those Notes that, at such time, have been duly executed and authenticated,
excluding those Notes (or portions thereof) that have theretofore been (i) cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.14; (ii) paid in full (including upon conversion) in accordance with
the Indenture; or (iii) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, clause (B), (C) or
(D) of this Section 2.17.
(B) Replaced
Notes. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its
replacement, unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such Note is held by a “bona
fide purchaser” under applicable law.
(C) Maturing
Notes and Notes Called for Redemption or Subject to Repurchase. If, on a Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the
Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or
principal amount, respectively, together, in each case, with the aggregate interest, in each case due on such date, then (unless there
occurs a default in the payment of any such amount) (i) the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or repurchased, or that
mature, on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Sections 5.02(D),
5.03(E) or 6.04; and (ii) the rights of the Holders of such Notes (or such portions thereof), as such, will terminate
with respect to such Notes (or such portions thereof), other than the right to receive the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price or principal amount, as applicable, of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes (or such portions thereof), in each case
as provided in the Indenture.
(D) Notes
to Be Converted. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for any Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note
(or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration or interest due, pursuant to Section 5.04,
upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Section 5.04.
(E) Cessation
of Accrual of Interest. Except as provided in Sections 5.02(D), 5.03(E) or 6.04, interest will cease to accrue on each
Note from, and including, the date that such Note is deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.17, to cease to be outstanding,
unless there occurs a default in the payment or delivery of any cash or other property due on such Note.
Section 2.18. Repurchases
by the Company.
Without limiting the generality
of Sections 2.14 and 4.06, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase Notes in open market purchases or in negotiated
transactions without delivering prior notice to Holders.
Section 2.19. CUSIP
and ISIN Numbers.
The Company may use one or
more CUSIP or ISIN numbers to identify any of the Notes, and, if so, the Company and the Trustee will use such CUSIP or ISIN number(s) in
notices to Holders; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee is not liable for CUSIP numbers printed on any Security,
notice or elsewhere (ii) the Trustee makes no representation as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP or ISIN number;
and (iii) the effectiveness of any such notice will not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, any such CUSIP or ISIN number.
The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN number(s) identifying any Notes.
Section 2.20. Trustee
Not Responsible for Securities Laws.
Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with
the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or other applicable laws.
Article 3. Common
stock
Section 3.01. Issuance
of Common Stock.
(A) Issuance
of Common Stock. On each issuance date on Exhibit G attached hereto (each such issuance date, a “Share Issuance
Date” and together, the “Share Issuance Dates”) and in the amount detailed on Exhibit G, without
any action on the part of the Holder or the Trustee, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of full shares of Common Stock
to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it and issue to the Holder a certificate
or book-entry position for such shares. No additional consideration shall be paid by the Holder in order to receive his, her or its Common
Stock on each Share Issuance Date. If there is more than one Holder on the Share Issuance Date, the amount detailed on Exhibit G
will be issued to the Holders of the Notes in a pro rata manner among all such Holders based on the percentage of then outstanding
principal amount of the Notes held by each such Holder.
(B) Date
of Issuance. Each person in whose name any such certificate or book-entry position for shares of Common Stock is issued shall for
all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on each Share Issuance Date, irrespective of
the date of delivery of such certificate or entry of such book-entry position.
(C) Delay
of Issuance when Share Issuance Date is Not a Trading Day. If a Share Issuance Date is not a Trading Day, then, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Indenture, such issuance shall be made on the immediately following Trading Day and no liquidated damages shall
accrue on such amount as a result of the related delay.
(D) Certain
Company Events. Upon (i) a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, exchange of shares, reclassification or recapitalization
occurring on or after the date hereof and on each subsequent occurrence, (ii) a reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding
up, combination, or merger of the Company occurring on or after the date hereof and on each subsequent occurrence, (iii) the declaration
or making of any dividend or other distribution of the Company’s assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares
of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities,
property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement,
scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) or (iv) other event in which the Common Stock is converted into other securities,
rights or property (each of (i) through (iv), “Certain Company Events”), the Holder shall receive (x) the
same per share consideration that the holders of Common Stock received or will receive in connection with such Certain Company Events
for the number of shares the Holder is entitled to pursuant to Section 3.01(A) above and (y) the same kind and
amount of consideration for all other events that the holders of Common Stock received or will receive in connection with such Certain
Company Events (including for the avoidance of doubt, for such shares the Holder is entitled to but has not yet received). If an event
or circumstance would render the Holder unable to receive the shares of Common Stock it is entitled to receive on each Share Issuance
Date, the Company shall, if permitted under applicable law, issue, without any action on the part of the Holder, the number of shares
the Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(A) above before giving effect to such event or circumstance. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, this Section 3.01(D) shall apply to all unissued shares of Common Stock detailed
on Exhibit G.
(E) Buy-In
and Liquidated Damages. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder on
the applicable Share Issuance Date (such shares to which the Holder is entitled being referred to as the “Undelivered Shares”)
in breach of this Indenture, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, if at or prior to the applicable Share
Issuance Date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage
firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Undelivered Shares which the
Holder anticipated receiving upon pursuant to this Section 3.01 (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall,
within five (5) Trading Days after the Holder’s request, (i) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which
(A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
exceeds (B) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Undelivered Shares that the Company was required to deliver
to the Holder, by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including brokerage
commissions, if any), and (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (x) pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the number
of Undelivered Shares multiplied by the Daily VWAP of such shares on the applicable Share Issuance Date or (y) deliver to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its issuance and delivery obligations
hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect
to a number of shares deliverable pursuant to Section 3.01(A), with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation
of $10,000, under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The
Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request
of the Company, written evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies
available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief
with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition
to the foregoing, if the Company fails for any reason or for no reason to issue Common Stock to the Holder on the applicable Share Issuance
Date in breach of this Indenture, the Company shall pay the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000
of Undelivered Shares (based on the Daily VWAP of such shares on the applicable Share Issuance Date), $10 per Trading Day (increasing
to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the applicable
Share Issuance Date until such cash amount is paid, and the Undelivered Shares are issued, to the Holder.
(F) Stock
Shortfall. On each Share Issuance Date detailed on Exhibit G attached hereto (each such Share Issuance Date, a “Stock
Shortfall Payment Date”), in addition to the obligations contained herein, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder an amount
equal to (i) (x) one dollar and thirty five cents ($1.35) minus (y) the average of the Daily VWAPs during the period
commencing on the day of and inclusive of the immediately preceding Stock Shortfall Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date) and ending
on and inclusive of the day before such Stock Shortfall Payment date (each such period, a “Stock Shortfall Period”)
multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock required to be issued pursuant to Section 3.01(A) hereof
on such Stock Shortfall Payment Date (without regard to any limitations on such issuance under this Indenture or the Notes); provided,
that if the resulting amount shall be negative, no payment pursuant to this Section 3.01(F) shall be made on such
Stock Shortfall Payment Date for such Stock Shortfall Period; provided, further, that at such time that the Common Stock ceases to be
listed on any U.S. national securities exchange, clause (y) above shall be deemed to be equal to zero (0) and all payments to be
made pursuant to this Section 3.01(F) across all remaining Stock Shortfall Payment Dates, including all accrued and
unpaid interest (pursuant to the following sentence), shall immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by
any Person (such date, the “Accelerated Stock Shortfall Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during such
time that the Common Stock continues to be listed on any U.S. national securities exchange, if a Market Disruption Event that is not
waived by the Holder occurs on each Trading Day in a Stock Shortfall Period, clause (y) of the foregoing sentence shall be deemed
to be equal to zero (0) for such Stock Shortfall Period. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company fails for any reason or for no
reason to make a payment pursuant to this Section 3.01(G) by the applicable Stock Shortfall Payment Date or Accelerated
Stock Shortfall Payment Date, as the case may be, (such amount, the “Undelivered Stock Shortfall Payment”), the Company
shall pay the Holder, in cash, as interest and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Undelivered Stock Shortfall Payment, $10 per Trading
Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such interest begins to accrue) for each Trading Day after the
applicable Stock Shortfall Payment Date or Accelerated Stock Shortfall Payment Date, as the case may be, until such Undelivered Stock
Shortfall Payment is paid.
(G) Make-Whole.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, upon any redemption, repurchase, retirement or conversion of
the Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change, Event of Default, Forced Conversion, Mandatory Redemption, conversion of the Notes
at the Holder’s option into Conversion Consideration or similar event, the Company shall, on a contemporaneous basis, (x) issue
to the Holder, without any action on the part of the Holder, 100% of the remaining number of shares the Holder would otherwise have been
entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.01(A), through to and including the Maturity Date (provided, that, in the event
such redemption, repurchase, retirement or conversion or similar event involves fewer than all of the then-outstanding Notes, such issuance
will be made on a pro rata basis with the corresponding amount of Notes that are redeemed, repurchased, retired, converted or otherwise
extinguished under this Section 3.01(G)), and (y) make any payment that would have otherwise been required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.01(F) relating to such shares issued pursuant to subsection (x) as if the date of such
redemption, repurchase, retirement or conversion, were a Stock Shortfall Payment Date and the period commencing on the day of and inclusive
of the immediately preceding Stock Shortfall Payment Date (or, if none, the Issue Date) and ending on and inclusive of such date were
the relevant Stock Shortfall Period (the “Make-Whole Payment”).
(H) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Trustee shall have no obligations with respect to the Common Stock or the duties of the
Company set forth herein with respect to the Common Stock, including the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or any other cash payments
or other consideration due to Holders in respect of the Common Stock. In the absence of actual notice to the contrary, the Trustee shall
be able to conclusively and without liability presume that such Common Stock has been delivered and such payments have been made.

giving effect to all applicable grace periods under the Exchange Act); provided, however, that the Company need not send
to the Trustee any material for which the Company has received, or is seeking in good faith and has not been denied, confidential treatment
by the SEC. Any report that the Company files with the SEC through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be sent
to the Trustee at the time such report is so filed via the EDGAR system (or such successor). Upon the written request of any Holder,
the Company will provide to such Holder a copy of any report that the Company has sent the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.02(A),
other than a report that is deemed to be sent to the Trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Company will also comply with its
other obligations under Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act.
(B) Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee need not determine whether the Company has filed any material via the EDGAR system (or such successor). Delivery
of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 3.02 are for information purposes only and the sending
or filing of reports pursuant to Section 4.02(A) will not be deemed to constitute actual or constructive notice to

compliance with any of its covenants under the Indenture. The Trustee will have no duty to review or analyze any such reports delivered
to it.

may affect the covenants or the performance of the Notes or the Indenture; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages
of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to

reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the Holders.

On
and following the date that the Secured Notes are no longer outstanding, (x) the Notes shall rank senior to any Subordinated Indebtedness

could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall cause all material assets used in the exploration,
drilling and extraction of natural gas and related and resulting products by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to
be held by ProductionCo or one or more of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and shall make no Investment in any material assets used in the
exploration, drilling and extraction of natural gas and related and resulting products other than through ProductionCo or one or more
of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries.
Section 4.24. Share
Reserve.
So
long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times have no less than a number of shares of authorized but unissued
Common Stock reserved for any issuance of shares of Common Stock hereunder (as applicable) equal to 58,784,899 shares of Common
Stock, less a number of shares corresponding to the number of Common Shares previously issued or delivered in connection with any conversion
of Notes or any redemption, repurchase or retirement of Notes (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided
that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 4.24 be reduced other than in
connection with any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction or proportionally in connection with any issuance
of Common Stock under the Notes or any such redemption, repurchase or retirement of Notes. If at any time the number of shares of Common
Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all
corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting
of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the
case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such authorized number
of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure
that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Required Reserve
Amount cannot be used by the Company to satisfy any equivalent obligations under the Secured Notes Indenture.
Section 4.25. [Reserved].
Article 5. Repurchase
And redemption
Section 5.01. No
Sinking Fund.
No sinking fund is required
to be provided for the Notes.
Section 5.02. Right
of Holders to Require the Company to Repurchase Notes upon a Fundamental Change.
(A) Right
of Holders to Require the Company to Repurchase Notes Upon a Fundamental Change. Subject to the other terms of this Section 5.02,
if a Fundamental Change occurs, then each Holder will have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) to
require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) on the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(B) Repurchase
Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. If (i) the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 7.02
and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or before the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for a Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change (including a rescission as a result of the payment of the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, and any related interest
pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.02(D), on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) or (ii) the Company delivers
a Company Conversion Notice to the Holders pursuant to Section 6.01(A), then (i) the Company may not repurchase any Notes pursuant
to this Section 5.02; and (ii) the Company will cause any Notes theretofore surrendered for such Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change to be returned to the Holders thereof.
(C) Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for any Fundamental Change will be a Business Day of the Company’s
choosing that is no more than thirty-five (35), nor less than twenty (20), Business Days after the date the Company sends the related
Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 5.02(E).
(D) Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note (or any portion of such Note) to be repurchased upon
a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change following a Fundamental Change is an amount in cash equal to the Fundamental Change Base Repurchase
Price for such Fundamental Change plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date for such Fundamental Change; provided, however, that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Regular
Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record
Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before
such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming,
solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date, if such Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date is before such Interest Payment Date). For the avoidance of doubt, if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day within the
meaning of Section 2.05(C) and such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date occurs on the Business Day immediately after
such Interest Payment Date, then (x) accrued and unpaid interest on Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be
paid, in accordance with Section 2.05(C), on the next Business Day to Holders as of the Close of Business on the immediately
preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will include interest on Notes to be repurchased
from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.
(E) Fundamental
Change Notice. On or before the twentieth (20th) calendar day after the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company will
send to each Holder, in writing, with a copy to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent a notice of such Fundamental Change
(a “Fundamental Change Notice”), which notice shall state the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and Fundamental Change
Base Repurchase Price of such Fundamental Change. Upon written request by the Company in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to
the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of delivery (or such shorter time as shall be satisfactory
to the Trustee), the Trustee shall send the Fundamental Change Notice to the Holders on behalf of the Company. The failure to deliver
a Fundamental Change Notice will not limit the Fundamental Change Repurchase right of any Holder or otherwise affect the validity of
any proceedings relating to any Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change.
(F) Procedures
to Exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.
(i) Delivery
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and Notes to Be Repurchased. To exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right for a Note
following a Fundamental Change, the Holder thereof must deliver to the Paying Agent:
(1) before
the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or such later time as may
be required by law), a duly completed, written Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to such Note; and
(2) such
Note, duly endorsed for transfer.
The Paying Agent will promptly deliver
to the Company a copy of each Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice that it receives.
(ii) Contents
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notices. Each Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note must state:
(1) if
such Note is a Physical Note, the certificate number of such Note;
(2) the
principal amount of such Note to be repurchased; and
(3) that
such Holder is exercising its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right with respect to such principal amount of such Note.
(iii) Withdrawal
of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. A Holder that has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note
may withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent at any time before
the Close of Business on the third Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Such withdrawal notice
must state:
(1) if
such Note is a Physical Note, the certificate number of such Note;
(2) the
principal amount of such Note to be withdrawn, which must be an Authorized Denomination; and
(3) the
principal amount of such Note, if any, that remains subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which must be an Authorized
Denomination.
Upon receipt of any such withdrawal
notice with respect to a Note (or any portion thereof), the Paying Agent will (x) promptly deliver a copy of such withdrawal notice
to the Company; and (y) if such Note is surrendered to the Paying Agent, cause such Note (or such portion thereof in accordance
with Section 2.11, treating such Note as having been then surrendered for partial repurchase in the amount set forth in such
withdrawal notice as remaining subject to repurchase) to be returned to the Holder thereof.
(G) Payment
of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price within the time prescribed by Section 4.01(B), the Company will cause the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for a
Note (or portion thereof) to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before
the later of (i) the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and (ii) the date such Note is delivered to the Paying
Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.02(D) on any Note to be repurchased
pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change must be paid pursuant to such proviso regardless of whether such Note is delivered pursuant
to the first sentence of this Section 5.02(G).
(H) Compliance
with Applicable Securities Laws. To the extent applicable, the Company will comply with all federal and state securities laws in
connection with a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change (including complying with Rules 13e-4 and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
filing any required Schedule TO, to the extent applicable) so as to permit effecting such Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change in the manner
set forth in the Indenture. To the extent the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions in this Section 4.02(H) or
any other provision of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed
to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.02(H).
(I) Repurchase
in Part. Subject to the terms of this Section 5.02, Notes may be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental
Change in part, but only in Authorized Denominations. Provisions of this Section 5.02 applying to the repurchase of a Note
in whole will equally apply to the repurchase of a permitted portion of a Note.
Section 5.03. Right
of the Holders to Redeem the Notes.
(A) No
Right to Redeem Before October 1, 2024. Unless in connection with a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 5.02
or an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01, the Holders may not redeem the Notes at their option at any time before
October 1, 2024.
(B) Mandatory
Redemption.
(i) Mandatory
Right to Redeem the Notes on or after October 1, 2024. Unless a Forced Conversion has occurred, subject to the terms of this
Section 5.03, on or after October 1, 2024, and solely if the Liquidity Threshold is not met on or after September 10,
2024 (at which time a Holder may provide written notice to the Trustee and the Company that it is exercising its right to redeem such
Holder’s Notes or a portion of such Holder’s Note), each Holder may redeem such Holder’s Notes or a portion of such
Holder’s Notes up to the entire principal amount of such Note outstanding on such date, in an Authorized Denomination of such Note
for a cash purchase price equal to the Redemption Price.
(C) Redemption
Prohibited in Certain Circumstances.
If (i) the principal
amount of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02 and such acceleration has not been rescinded on or before
a Redemption Date (including a rescission as a result of the payment of the related Redemption Price, and any related interest pursuant
to the proviso in Section 5.03(E), on such Redemption Date), or (ii) a Fundamental Change has occurred and the Holder
has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice that has not been withdrawn pursuant to Section 5.02(F)(iii), or (iii) a
Forced Conversion has occurred, then (a) the Holders may not call for Redemption or otherwise redeem any Notes pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i);
and (b) the Company will cause any Notes theretofore surrendered for such Redemption to be returned to the Holders thereof.
(D) Redemption
Date. In the event of a Mandatory Redemption, a Holder choosing to exercise its right to redemption pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i) shall
provide written notice to the Trustee and the Company at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date that it is exercising
its right to redeem such Holder’s Notes or a portion of such Holder’s Note on the date set forth in such notice.
(E) Redemption
Price. The Redemption Price for any Note called for a Mandatory Redemption is an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of
such Note being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Redemption Date for such Mandatory Redemption;
provided, however, that the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately prior to the Redemption
Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Mandatory Redemption, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest
Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date. For the avoidance
of doubt, if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day within the meaning of Section 2.05(C) and such Redemption
Date occurs on the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date, then (x) accrued and unpaid interest on Notes to,
but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be paid, in accordance with Section 2.05(C), on the next Business Day to Holders
as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Redemption Price will include interest
on Notes to be redeemed from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.
(F) Mandatory
Redemption Notices.
(i) Mandatory
Redemption Notice. To call a Holder’s Note for Redemption pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i), a Holder must send to
the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent a written notice of such Redemption in accordance with Section 5.03(D) (a
“Redemption Notice”).
Such Redemption Notice must
state:
(1) that
the Holder has called the Holder’s Notes for Redemption;
the
principal amount to be redeemed (or such lesser amount as the Holders may accept for redemption);
(2) the
Redemption Date for such Redemption;
the
Redemption Price for such Redemption (and, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment
Date, the amount, manner and timing of the interest payment payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.03(E)); and
(3) the
CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Notes.
(G) Payment
of the Redemption Price. Without limiting the Company’s obligation to deposit the Redemption Price, by the time proscribed
by Section 4.01(B), the Company will cause the Redemption Price for a Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption to
be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Redemption Date, subject to Section 5.03(B). For the avoidance
of doubt, interest payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 5.03(E) on any Note (or portion thereof) subject to Redemption
must be paid pursuant to such proviso.
Article 6. Conversion
Section 6.01. Right
of Company to Convert the Notes.
(A) Generally.
If the Forced Conversion Trigger occurs, then, within one (1) Business Day after the date of the Forced Conversion Trigger, the
Company shall provide written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a “Company Conversion Notice”)
to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) that the Forced Conversion Trigger has occurred and the Company shall
convert all of the principal amount of each Holder’s Note into Conversion Consideration (a “Forced Conversion”),
and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holders on the date that such Company Conversion Notice is delivered that the Equity
Conditions are satisfied as of the date of such Company Conversion Notice. Within one (1) Business Day after the date of the Company
Conversion Notice, each Holder will notify the Company in writing if a Forced Conversion would cause such Holder or such Holder’s
other Attribution Parties to be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage.
(B) Effect
of Forced Conversion. A Forced Conversion will have the same effect as a conversion of the applicable outstanding principal amount
of a Note effected at a Holder’s election pursuant to Section 6.02 and shall occur on the second (2nd) Business
Day after the date of the Company Conversion Notice (for the avoidance of doubt, without the need for the Holder to deliver a Holder
Conversion Notice) (such date, the “Forced Conversion Date”).
Section 6.02. Right
of Holders to Convert the Notes
(A) Generally.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 6, a Holder may, at its option, convert its Note into Conversion Consideration,
in whole or in part, by completing, manually signing and delivering to the Conversion Agent the conversion notice in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Holder Conversion Notice”), provided that, if a Holder converts
the Holder’s Note in part, such conversion may only be made in an Authorized Denomination. Provisions of this Article 6
will equally apply to conversions of any permitted portion of the Notes.
(B) When
the Holders May Convert the Notes.
(i) A
Holder may convert its Note at any time until the Close of Business on the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately before the Maturity Date.
(ii) Effect
of Redemption or Repurchase Upon a Fundamental Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6, if a Note
(or any portion of a Note) is to be repurchased upon a Redemption or a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, then in no event may such
Note (or such portion) be converted after the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately before the related Redemption Date or
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as applicable; provided, that the limitations contained in this Section 6.02(B)(ii) shall
no longer apply if the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is not delivered on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date or Redemption Date, as applicable.
Section 6.03. Conversion
Procedures.
(A) Generally.
(i) [RESERVED].
(ii) Physical
Notes. To convert all or a portion of a Physical Note, the Holder of such Note shall (x) deliver a Holder Conversion Notice
to the Conversion Agent and (y) deliver such Holder’s Physical Note to the Conversion Agent (at which time such conversion
will become irrevocable); and furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company or the Conversion Agent may require.
(B) Effect
of Converting a Note. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note
(or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration or interest due, pursuant to Section 6.04,
upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person will be deemed to be a Holder
of such Note (or such portion thereof) as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date), except to the extent provided in and subject
to Section 6.04.
(C) Holder
of Record of Conversion Shares. The person in whose name any shares of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of a Note will be
deemed to become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion, conferring,
as of such time, upon such person, without limitation, all voting and other rights appurtenant to such shares.
(D) Taxes
and Duties. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due
on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon such conversion.
(E) Conversion
Agent to Notify Company of Conversions. Upon receipt of a Holder Conversion Notice, the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the
Company and the Trustee of such occurrence.
Section 6.04. Settlement
upon Conversion.
(A) Generally.
The consideration (the “Conversion Consideration”) due in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of a Note to be
converted will consist of the following:
(i) Subject
to Section 6.04(B), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for
such conversion; and
(ii) cash
in an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Date for such
conversion; provided, however if the Conversion Date of a Note is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment
Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion
(and, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything set forth in the proviso to this sentence), to receive, on or, at the Company’s
election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest
Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date). For the avoidance
of doubt, (x) as a result of, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, if a Note is converted with a Conversion Date
that is after the Regular Record Date immediately before the Maturity Date, then the Company will pay, as provided above, the interest
that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, the Maturity Date and (y) if the Conversion Date of a Note to be converted
is on an Interest Payment Date, then the Holder of such Note at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately before such
Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive, on such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that has accrued on such Note to,
but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, and such Note, when surrendered for conversion, need not be accompanied by any cash amount
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.04.
(B) Fractional
Shares. If the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with the conversion of a Note is not a whole number,
then such number will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
(C) Delivery
of the Conversion Consideration. The Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion
of a Note to the Holder thereof on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, the standard settlement period for the primary
Eligible Exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion (the “Conversion
Settlement Date”). If any Holder has not complied with its obligations under Section 6.03(A)(ii) on the applicable
Conversion Date with respect to any of its Notes, such Holder shall not receive any Conversion Consideration with respect to such Notes
on the applicable Conversion Date, such Notes shall be deemed to cease to be outstanding on such Conversion Date (and, for the avoidance
of doubt, no Person will be deemed to be a Holder of such Notes as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date) and after such Conversion
Date the only rights hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents that such Holder shall have with respect to such Notes
is the right to receive the Conversion Consideration at such time as such Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in Section 6.03(A)(ii) with
respect to such Notes.
(D) Conversion
Settlement Defaults. If (x) the Company fails to deliver, by the related Conversion Settlement Date any shares of Common Stock
(the “Defaulted Shares”) forming part of the Conversion Consideration, and (y) the Holder (whether directly or
indirectly, including by any broker acting on the Holder’s behalf or acting with respect to such Defaulted Shares) purchases any
shares of Common Stock (whether in the open market or otherwise) to cover any such Defaulted Shares (whether to satisfy any settlement
obligations with respect thereto of the Holder or otherwise), then, without limiting the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedy
available to it (whether hereunder, under applicable law or otherwise), the Holder will have the right, exercisable by notice to the
Company, to cause the Company to either:
(i) pay,
on or before the second (2nd) Business Day after the date such notice is delivered, cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate
purchase price (including any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket costs) incurred to purchase such shares (such aggregate purchase
price, the “Covering Price”); or
(ii) promptly
deliver, to the Holder, such Defaulted Shares in accordance with the Note, together with cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of the Covering Price over the product of (x) the number of such Defaulted Shares; and (y) the Daily VWAP per share of Common
Stock on the Conversion Date relating to such conversion.
To exercise such right, the Holder must deliver
notice of such exercise to the Company and the Trustee, specifying whether the Holder has elected clause (i) or (ii) above
to apply. If the Holder has elected clause (i) to apply, then the Company’s obligation to deliver the Defaulted Shares
in accordance with the applicable Note will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged to the extent the Company has paid the Covering
Price in accordance with clause (i).
Section 6.05. Status
of Common Stock Issued upon Conversion.
(A) [RESERVED].
(B) Status
of Conversion Shares; Listing. Each Conversion Share delivered upon conversion of a Note will be a newly issued or treasury share
and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any Lien or adverse claim (except
to the extent of any Lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder or the Person to whom such Conversion Share
will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then
the Company will cause each Conversion Share issued upon conversion of a Note, when delivered upon such conversion, to be admitted for
listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.
(C) Any
Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of a Note will be issued in the form of book-entries at the facilities of DTC, identified therein
by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number.
Section 6.06. Adjustments
to the Conversion Rate.
(A) Events
Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(i) Stock
Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially
all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding
an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 6.08 will apply), then the Conversion Rate
will be adjusted based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date
for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective
date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable; |
| CR1 | = |
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 before the Open of Business on such
Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend,
distribution, stock split or stock combination; and |
| OS1 | = |
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend,
distribution, stock split or stock combination. |
For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment
to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 6.06(A)(i) will become effective as of the time set forth in CR1
above. If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 6.06(A)(i) is
declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors
determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.
(ii) Rights,
Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants
(other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Sections 6.06(A)(iii)(1) and
6.06(E) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date
of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last
Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day
immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date
for such distribution; |
| CR1 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| OS | = |
the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before 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 | = |
a
number of shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable
to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported
Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending
on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced. |
For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment
to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 6.06(A)(ii) will become effective as of the time set forth in CR1
above. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants
(including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion
Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. If such rights, options
or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the
Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 6.06(A)(ii),
in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive
Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants
is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account
any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value
of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.
(iii) Spin-Offs
and Other Distributed Property.
(1) Distributions
Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Equity Interests, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or
property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Equity Interests of the Company or other securities, to all or substantially
all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(a) dividends,
distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 6.06(A)(i) or
6.06(A)(ii);
(b) dividends
or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 6.06(A)(iv);
(c) rights
issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 6.06(E);
(d) Spin-Offs
for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 6.06(A)(iii)(2); and
(e) a
distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 6.08 will apply,
then the Conversion Rate will be increased
based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date
for such distribution; |
| CR1 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| SP | = |
the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive
Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend
Date; and |
| FMV | = |
the
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith), as of such Ex-Dividend
Date, of the shares of Equity Interests, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights,
options or warrants distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution; |
provided,
however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion
Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such distribution,
at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Equity Interests, evidences of indebtedness,
assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date. Any adjustments of the Conversion Date pursuant
to this Section 6.06(A)(iii)(1) will become effective as of the time set forth in CR1, above.
To the extent such distribution is not
so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made
on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(2) Spin-Offs.
If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Equity Interests of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating
to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than
solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 6.08 will apply) and such Equity Interests or equity
interests are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange
(a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date
for such Spin-Off; |
| CR1 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| FMV | = |
the
product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share or unit of the
Equity Interests or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive
Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and
including, such Ex-Dividend Date (such average to be determined as if references to Common
Stock in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event
were instead references to such Equity Interests or equity interests); and (y) the number
of shares or units of such Equity Interests or equity interests distributed per share of
Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and |
| SP | = |
the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for each Trading Day in
the Spin-Off Valuation Period. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate
pursuant to this Section 6.06(A)(iii)(2), will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off
Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive
effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the Indenture or any Note, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd)
Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period.
To the extent any dividend or distribution
of the type set forth in this Section 6.06(A)(iii)(2) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be
readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution,
if any, actually made or paid.
(iv) Cash
Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then
the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date
for such dividend or distribution; |
| CR1 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
| SP |
= | the Last Reported
Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend
Date; and |
| D |
= | the cash amount distributed per share of
Common Stock in such dividend or distribution; |
provided,
however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate,
each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution,
at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder
had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.
To the extent such dividend or distribution
is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the
adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
(v) Tender
Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer
for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange
Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith) of the cash and other consideration
paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the
Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant
to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where:
| CR0 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”)
such tender or exchange offer expires; |
| CR1 | = |
the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time; |
| AC | = |
the
aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors in good faith)
of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged
in such tender or exchange offer; |
| OS0 |
= | the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of
Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); |
| OS1 |
= | the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding 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 per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the
“Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including,
the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date; |
provided,
however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 6.06(A)(v), except to
the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 6.06(A)(v),
will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given
effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs on the Expiration
Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes,
the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the
Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.
To the extent such tender or exchange
offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of the Company being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange
offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded,
the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis
of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.
(B) No
Adjustments in Certain Cases.
(i) Where
Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.06(A),
the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment
pursuant to Section 6.06(A) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 6.06(A)(i) or
a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 6.06(A)(v)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and
on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of Notes, in such transaction or event without having
to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the
Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date; and (ii) the aggregate principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes
held by such Holder on such date.
(ii) Certain
Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 6.06, Section 6.07
and Section 6.09. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:
(1) except
as otherwise provided in Section 6.06, the sale of shares of Common Stock, including for a purchase price that is less than
the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;
(2) 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 such
plan;
(3) the
issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee,
director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(4) the
issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, convertible or exchangeable security of
the Company outstanding as of the Issue Date or except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.06 after the Issue Date;
(5) repurchases
of Common Stock, including structured or derivative transactions, that are not pursuant to a tender offer as contemplated by Section 6.06(A)(v);
(6) solely
a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(7) accrued
and unpaid interest on the Notes.
(C) Adjustments
Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, if:
(i) a
Note is to be converted;
(ii) the
record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6.06(A) has
occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become
effective as of such Conversion Date;
(iii) the
Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock; and
(iv) such
shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),
then, solely for purposes of such conversion,
the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date on which the
Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such
adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after
such first date.
(D) Conversion
Rate Adjustments where Converting Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the Indenture or the Notes, if:
(i) a
Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 6.06(A);
(ii) a
Note is to be converted;
(iii) the
Conversion Date for such conversion occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;
(iv) the
Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Common Stock based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted
for such dividend or distribution; and
(v) such
shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 6.03(C)),
then (x) such Conversion Rate adjustment
will not be given effect for such conversion; (y) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted
Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (z) there will be added, to the Conversion
Consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the same kind and amount of consideration that would have been delivered in such dividend
or distribution with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares been entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.
(E) Stockholder
Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the
Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently
with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under the Indenture upon such conversion, the rights set forth in
such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case,
the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 6.06(A)(iii)(1) on account of such separation as if, at the
time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Common
Stock, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.
(F) Limitation
on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event
that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 6.06(A) to an amount that would result in the Conversion
Price per share of Common Stock being less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
(G) Equitable
Adjustments to Prices. Whenever any provision of the Indenture requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported
Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such
calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6.06(A)(i) that becomes effective,
or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such
event occurs, at any time during such period.
(H) Calculation
of Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 6.06(A), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock;
and (ii) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any
distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).
(I) Calculations.
All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common
Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).
(J) Notice
of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6.06(A),
the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of
the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after
such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.
(K) Adjustment
Deferral. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Article 6 would result in a change of less
than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6, the Company may,
at its election by written notice to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Holders, defer such adjustment, except that all such deferred
adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would
result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Conversion Rate; (ii) the Conversion Date of any Note; (iii) the date
a Fundamental Change occurs; and (iv) February 1, 2025.
Section 6.07. Voluntary
Adjustments.
(A) Generally.
To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase
the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such increase is either (x) in
the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights
to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar
event and (ii) such increase is irrevocable. The Company acknowledges that any such voluntary adjustment to the Conversion Rate
and any conversion of any portion of the Notes based upon any such voluntary adjustment shall not constitute material non-public information
with respect to the Company.
(B) Notice
of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6.07(A), then,
no later than the first Business Day of the period in which such increased Conversion Rate shall be in effect, the Company will send
notice to each Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase
will be in effect.
Section 6.08. Effect
of Common Stock Change Event.
(A) If
there occurs:
(i) A
recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or
combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and
(z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);
(ii) A
consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company; or
(iii) A
sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any
Person,
and, in each case, as a result of such
occurrence, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities or other
property (including cash or any combination of the foregoing) (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such
other securities or other property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a
holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving
effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”),
then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, at the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event,
(x) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any
number of shares of Common Stock in this Article 6 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the number
of Reference Property Units that a Holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive; (y) for purposes of
Section 6.04, each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Section (or in any related definitions)
will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units that a Holder of one (1) share of Common
Stock would be entitled to receive; and (z) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” the term “Common
Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property.
For these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity
securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg
page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof
that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion
thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as
applicable, determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount
thereof).
If the Reference Property consists
of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition
of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received,
per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable
after such determination is made.
Promptly
following delivery of the written notice of a Common Stock Change Event provided pursuant to Section 6.08(B), the Company
and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”)
will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 9.01(G), which supplemental indenture
will (x) provide for subsequent conversions of the Notes in the manner set forth in this Section 6.08; (y) provide
for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6.06(A) in a manner consistent with this Section 6.08
and Section 6.09; and (z) contains such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to
preserve the economic interests of the Holder and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 6.08. If the Reference
Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will
also execute such instruments or agreements and such instruments or agreements will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably
determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders.
(B) Notice
of Common Stock Change Events. On or before the twentieth (20th) calendar day after the occurrence of the effective date of any Common
Stock Change Event, the Company will provide written notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of such Common Stock
Change Event, including a brief description of such Common Stock Change Event and a brief description of the anticipated change in the
conversion right of the Notes.
Section 6.09. Restriction
on Conversions.
(A) Beneficial
Ownership Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not issue shares pursuant to
a Note, and no Holder shall have the right to exercise any right to convert any portion of such Holder’s Note pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Indenture and such Holder’s Note, and any such payment, conversion or issuance shall be null and void and
treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or issuance of shares of Common Stock, such Holder
together with the other Attribution Parties would collectively beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or issuance
of shares of Common Stock provided, that, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock required to be issued pursuant to Section 3.01(A) shall
be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the
other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such shares (and any such
shares declared or made on such initial issuance or on any subsequent issuance held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there
had been no such limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by a Holder and such Holder’s Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and such
Holder’s other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to such conversion or issuance
of shares of Common Stock (or applicable portion thereof) with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or
warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous
to the limitation contained in this Section 6.09(A). For purposes of this Section 6.09(A), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate
the beneficial ownership of the Holder. For purposes of this Indenture and the Notes and any conversion or issuance of the Notes, in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Company may issue pursuant to Article 3 and Article 6
without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in
(x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K
or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other
written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported
Outstanding Share Number”).
If the Company receives a Holder Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall promptly notify such Holder
in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such conversion would otherwise cause such
Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 6.09(A), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such
Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such Holder Conversion Notice.
For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in
writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including
such Holder’s Note, by such Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number
was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to a Holder pursuant to such Holder’s Note would result
in such Holder and such Holder’s other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum
Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the
number of shares so issued by which such Holder’s and such Holder’s other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial
ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled
ab initio, and such Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that the Company’s conversion of any portion of a Note pursuant to a Forced Conversion would result in a Holder, together
with such Holder’s Attribution Parties, collectively beneficially owning Excess Shares, then such Forced Conversion shall nevertheless
occur except that the Notes associated with the Excess Shares shall not be converted into shares of Common Stock (and such Holder shall
not be entitled to beneficial ownership with respect to such Excess Shares) but shall instead be converted into the right to receive
shares of Common Stock when, but only when, such shares can be issued without the relevant Holder and its Attribution Parties exceeding
the Maximum Percentage. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Conversion Agent shall have any duty, responsibility or liability
to determine whether an issuance of shares will exceed the Maximum Percentage or whether any Holder or beneficial owner owns Excess Shares.
Upon conversion, none of the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Conversion Agent shall have any duty, responsibility or liability for
the delivery of Common Stock or to determine whether any Holder has a right to receive Common Stock. Upon delivery of a written notice
to the Company, a Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%
as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first
(61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and
such Holder’s other Attribution Parties and not to any other Holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of such Holder. For
purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Notes in excess of the Maximum
Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or
Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Note pursuant
to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination
of the ability to issue shares of Common Stock hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner
other than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6.09(A), to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph
or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in
this Section 6.09(A), or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of a Note. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, for any conversion or issuance of shares in which any Holder, together with its Attribution Parties, would beneficially
own, in the aggregate, in excess of the Maximum Percentage of shares of Common Stock, such Holder must deliver to the Company written
notice at least one (1) Business Day in advance of such conversion or issuance of shares (the “Maximum Percentage Notice”).
The Maximum Percentage Notice will state that such conversion or issuance of shares will exceed the Maximum Percentage. If such Holder
fails to deliver the Maximum Percentage Notice, the Company shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Indenture for the exercise of
such conversion or issuance of shares. If all or part of a Holder’s Notes are converted into the right to receive shares of
Common Stock upon a Forced Conversion as described above, the Holder will promptly inform the Company, in reliance on the Reported Outstanding
Share Number, when all or part of the shares of Common Stock can be issued without exceeding the Maximum Percentage of it and its Attribution
Parties and the Company shall promptly issue such shares.
(B) HSR
Clearances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the Company shall not effect the conversion of
any portion of a Note, or otherwise issue shares pursuant to a Note, and no Holder shall have the right to exercise any right to receive
shares pursuant to a Note or otherwise convert any portion of such Holder’s Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indenture
and such Holder’s Note, and any such payment, conversion or issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, unless
and until after giving effect to such conversion or issuance of shares of Common Stock, the applicable waiting period, if any, under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), shall have expired or been terminated,
and any required clearances consents, approvals, and waivers under any other antitrust laws applicable to the consummation of any such
conversion or issuance of shares of Common Stock shall have been obtained. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, prior
to any such Holder converting its Note into Common Stock, such Holder will, if required under the HSR Act, provide written notice pursuant
to 16 C.F.R. § 803.5(a) to the Company, and (x) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant
to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture as promptly as practicable, (y) supply as promptly
as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and (z) use
its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this
Section 5.09(B) to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required authorizations,
as applicable, under the HSR Act as soon as practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall request and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.
(C) Under
no circumstances shall the Trustee have any obligation to identify any beneficial owner of Common Stock, or otherwise make any determination,
monitor, or otherwise take any action with respect to the restrictions set forth in this Article 6.
Section 6.10. Responsibility
of the Trustee.
The Trustee and the Conversion
Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto)
or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature
or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture
provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the
validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, monitoring the Company’s stock trading price or of any
securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other
Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for
any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property
or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants
of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent
shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into
pursuant to Section 6.08 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including
cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 6.08 or to
any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of the Base Indenture, may accept (without any independent
investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’
Certificate with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event
contemplated by this Article 6 has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor
until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in this Article 6 with
respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively
rely.
Article 7. Successors
Section 7.01. When
the Company May Merge, Etc.
(A) Generally.
The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell,
lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person(a “Business Combination Event”), unless:
(i) the
resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is an entity (the “Successor
Entity”) duly organized and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization that expressly assumes (by executing
and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplement to this instrument) all
of the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents;
and
(ii) the
Company has complied with its obligations under Section 5.02 and 6.08 prior to the consummation of the Business Combination
Event; and
(iii) immediately
after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.
(B) Delivery
of Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee. Before the effective time of any Business Combination Event,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such Business
Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) comply with Section 7.01(A); and (ii) all
conditions precedent to such Business Combination Event provided in the Indenture have been satisfied.
Section 7.02. Successor
Entity Substituted.
At the effective time of
any Business Combination Event that complies with Section 7.01, the Successor Entity (if not the Company) will succeed to,
and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Entity
had been named as the Company in the Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged
from its obligations with respect to the Note under the Indenture and the Notes.
Article 8. Defaults
and Remedies
Section 8.01. Events
of Default.
(A) Definition
of Events of Default. “Event of Default” means the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) a
default in the payment when due (whether at maturity, upon Redemption or Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or otherwise) of the principal
of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, any Note;
(ii) a
default for two (2) Business Days in the payment when due of interest on any Note;
(iii) a
default in the Company’s obligation to convert a Note in accordance with Article 6 upon the exercise of the conversion right
with respect thereto;
(iv) the
Company’s failure to timely deliver, when required by the Indenture, a Fundamental Change Notice;
(v) a
materially false or inaccurate certification (including a false or inaccurate deemed certification) by the Company (A) that the
Equity Conditions are satisfied or (B) as to whether any Event of Default has occurred;
(vi) a
default in the Company’s obligations under Article 7 and Sections 3.01 (A), (F) and (G);
(vii) a
default in any of the Company’s obligations or agreements under the Indenture, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents (other
than a default set forth in clause (i) through (vi) or (viii) through (xviii) of this
Section 8.01(A)), or a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in any material respect (other than representations
or warranties subject to material adverse effect or materiality qualifications, which may not be breached in any respect) of any Transaction
Document; provided, however, that if such default can be cured, then such default shall not be an Event of Default unless
the Company has failed to cure such default within the following number of applicable days after the Company becomes aware of, or by
exercise of reasonable prudence would have become aware of, its occurrence (the “Cure Period”) and provided,
further, that solely with respect to a default of the covenant set forth in Section 4.14, there must be a minimum
of (30) days between any two Cure Periods: (A) with respect to a default in respect of the covenants set forth in Section 4.09,
Section 4.14 (other than set forth in (B) below), Section 4.15, Section 4.18, Section 4.19
or Section 4.24 herein, five (5) days, (B) with respect to a default of the covenant set forth in Section 4.14
herein occurring prior to June 30, 2024, thirty (30) days; provided, that, at the time of such default and during the related
Cure Period (x) the Company has a market capitalization equal to or greater than seven hundred million dollars ($700,000,000) as
measured by Bloomberg L.P., (y) the Equity Conditions are satisfied and (z) the Company has Liquidity of equal to or greater
than twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000) or (C) otherwise, thirty (30) days. For the avoidance of doubt, the five (5) day
Cure Period will apply under subsection (B) above, if during such thirty (30) day period, the Company decreases its Liquidity below
twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000);
(viii) (i) the
failure of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to pay when due (giving effect to any applicable grace period) any Indebtedness
having a principal amount in excess of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate
of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness exists as of the Issue Date or is thereafter created;
or (ii) the occurrence of any breach or default under any terms or provisions of any other Indebtedness in a principal amount in
excess of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries, if the effect of such failure or occurrence is to cause such Indebtedness to become or be declared due prior
to its stated maturity; provided, however, that if prior to any acceleration of the Notes, any such failure, breach or default in respect
of such other Indebtedness is cured or waived, any acceleration related thereto rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid during the
ten (10) Business Day period commencing upon the end of any applicable grace period for any such failure to pay or the occurrence
of such acceleration, as the case may be, any Default or Event of Default (but not any acceleration of the Notes) caused by such failure,
breach, default or acceleration shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment, decree
or applicable law;
(ix) one
or more final judgments, orders or awards (or any settlement of any litigation or other proceeding that, if breached, could result in
a judgment, order or award) for the payment of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the
aggregate (excluding any amounts covered by insurance pursuant to which the insurer has been notified and has not denied coverage), is
rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and remains unsatisfied and (i) enforcement proceedings shall
have been commenced by any creditor upon any such judgment, order or award or settlement or (ii) there shall be a period of ten
(10) consecutive Business Days after entry thereof during which (A) a stay of enforcement thereof is not in effect or (B) the
same is not vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal;
(x) the
Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, either:
(1) commences
a voluntary case or proceeding;
(2) consents
to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;
(3) consents
to the appointment of a custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property;
(4) makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
(5) takes
any comparable action under any foreign Bankruptcy Law; or
(6) generally
is not paying its debts as they become due; or
(xi) a
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that either:
(1) is
for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding;
(2) appoints
a custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or for any substantial part of the property of the Company or any
of its Significant Subsidiaries;
(3) orders
the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or
(4) grants
any similar relief under any foreign Bankruptcy Law,
and, in each case under this Section 8.01(A)(x),
such order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least thirty (30) days; and
(xii) prior
to the occurrence of a Forced Conversion of all outstanding Notes (or as otherwise expressly contemplated herein), the Pledge Agreement
or Mortgages shall for any reason fail or cease to create a separate valid and perfected first priority (subject to Permitted Liens (as
defined in the Secured Indenture), including those that arise by operation of law) Lien on a material portion of the Collateral, in each
case, in favor of the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the terms thereof, or any material provision of Pledge Agreement or Mortgages
shall at any time for any reason cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company or the validity or enforceability
thereof shall be contested by any party thereto, or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Company, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof;
(xiii) [reserved];
(xiv) [reserved];
(xv) the
suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be trading or listed on an Eligible Exchange for a period of three (3) consecutive
Trading Days;
(xvi) [reserved];
(xvii) the
Company is in material breach of Section 4(r) of the Securities Purchase Agreement; and
(xviii) the
Company (A) fails to timely file its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or its annual reports on Form 10-K with the SEC in
the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act (giving effect to any applicable extensions or grace periods) or
(B) restates any such quarterly report or annual report previously filed with the Commission as a result of a misstatement or omission
in quarterly report or annual report that would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
(B) Cause
Irrelevant. Each of the events set forth in Section 8.01(A) will constitute an Event of Default regardless of the
cause thereof or whether voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
(C) Notice
of Events of Default. Promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Company becomes aware of, or by
exercise of reasonable prudence would have become aware of, an Event of Default, the Company will provide written notice of such Event
of Default (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Trustee and a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee, which Event of Default Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) the
date on which the Event of Default occurred and (iii) the date on which the Event of Default initially occurred.
Section 8.02. Acceleration.
(A) Automatic
Acceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default set forth in Section 8.01(A)(x) or 8.01(A)(xi) occurs
with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then an amount equal to the Acceleration
Amount will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.
(B) Optional
Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 8.01(A)(x) or 8.01(A)(xi) with
respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, then the Required
Holders, by providing written notice to the Company and the Trustee (an “Optional Acceleration Notice”), may declare
an amount equal to the Acceleration Amount with respect to all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately.
(C) Rescission
of Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes, the Required Holders, by notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any 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 (except
the non-payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or
waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 8.03. Other
Remedies.
(A) Trustee
May Pursue All Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of any amounts due with respect to the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Indenture or the Notes.
(B) Procedural
Matters. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in such
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy following an Event of Default will not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, such Event of Default. All remedies will be cumulative to the
extent permitted by law.
(C) Deposit
Account Control Agreement. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notice has been delivered by the Collateral
Trustee pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall not, and the Collateral Agent shall not instruct the
Collateral Trustee to, issue any instructions with respect to any account subject to any Deposit Account Control Agreement or any cash
or other assets on deposit in or held in any such account and shall not give instructions on consent to the delivery of any such exercise
or issuance by the Collateral Trustee unless required under the Collateral Trust Agreement, but will otherwise continue to exercise dominion
or control over such account.
Section 8.04. Waiver
of Past Defaults.
An Event of Default pursuant
to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (vii) of Section 8.01(A) (provided that, in the case of
clause (vii) only, such Event of Default results from a Default under any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent
of each affected Holder), and a Default that could lead to such an Event of Default, can be waived only with the consent of each affected
Holder. Each other Default or Event of Default may be waived, on behalf of all Holders, by the Required Holders by written notice to
the Company and the Trustee. If an Event of Default is so waived, then it will cease to exist. If a Default is so waived, then it will
be deemed to be cured. However, no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
arising therefrom.
Section 8.05. Control
by Majority.
Subject
to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee
and Collateral Agent each may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, the Indenture, the Notes, or any other Collateral
Document or that, the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders
(it being understood that the Trustee and Collateral Agent do not have an affirmative duty to determine whether any direction is prejudicial
to the rights of any Holder) or may involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in liability, unless the Trustee or Collateral Agent
is offered security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, against any loss, liability or expense
to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, that may result from the Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s, as applicable,
following such direction.
Section 8.06. Limitation
on Suits.
No
Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes (except to enforce (x) its rights to receive the
principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, any Notes; (y) the Company’s
obligations to convert any Notes pursuant to Article 6 or (z) its rights to receive shares of Common Stock issuable under Section 3.01(A),
cash payments under Section 3.01 (F) or a Make-Whole Payment under Section 3.01(G)), unless:
(A) such
Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee notice of an Event of Default;
(B) the
Required Holders deliver a request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;
(C) such
Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s following such request;
(D) the
Trustee does not comply with such request within sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such request and such offer of security
or indemnity; and
(E) during
such sixty (60) calendar day period, the Required Holders do not deliver to the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.
A
Holder of a Note may not use the Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over
another Holder. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Holder’s use of the Indenture complies with the preceding
sentence.
Section 8.07. Absolute
Right of Holders to Receive Payment and Conversion Consideration and to Institute Suit for the Enforcement of such Right.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Notes (but without limiting Section 9.01), the right of each Holder
of a Note to receive (i) the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.01(A) of this Indenture, (ii) cash
payments under Section 3.01(F) of this Indenture, (iii) a Make-Whole Payment under Section 3.01(G) of this Indenture
and (iv) payment or delivery, as applicable, of the principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
for, or any interest on, or the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Article 6 upon conversion of, such Note on or after the
respective due dates therefor provided in the Indenture and the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery
after such respective due dates, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 8.08. Collection
Suit by Trustee.
The
Trustee will have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii),
(iii) or (vii) of Section 8.01(A), to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against
the Company for (x) the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.01(A) of this Indenture and (y) the
total unpaid or undelivered principal of, or Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, or Conversion
Consideration due pursuant to Article 6 upon conversion of, the Notes, as applicable, and, to the extent lawful, any Default Interest,
and such further amounts sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation provided for in Section 7.7
of the Base Indenture; provided that nothing in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to take ownership, control or possession of
or to assist in the delivery of Common Stock.
Section 8.09. Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.
The
Trustee has the right to (A) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon
the Notes) or its creditors or property and (B) collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims. Each Holder authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the
Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be
secured by a lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise).
Nothing in the Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 8.10. Priorities.
The Trustee will pay or deliver
in the following order any money or other property that it collects or receives from the Company, the Collateral Agent or from the Collateral
Trustee pursuant to this Article 8:
First: to
the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under the Base
Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture and the Collateral Documents, including payment of all fees, compensation, expenses and liabilities
incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, and the costs and expenses
of collection;
Second: to
Holders for unpaid amounts or other property due on the Notes, including the principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or any Acceleration Amount due, or any Make-Whole Payment due, or any cash payment required
on a Stock Shortfall Payment Date, or any Conversion Consideration that consists of cash due upon conversion of, the Notes, ratably,
and without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts or other property due and payable on all of the Notes; and
Third: to
the Company or such other Person as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.
The Trustee may fix a record
date and payment date for any payment or delivery to the Holders pursuant to this Section 8.10, in which case the Trustee
will instruct the Company to, and the Company will, deliver, at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such record date, to each Holder
and the Trustee a notice stating such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment or nature of such delivery, as applicable.
Section 8.11. Undertaking
for Costs.
In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or the Notes or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court, in its discretion, may (A) require the filing by any litigant party in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and (B) assess reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against
any litigant party in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such litigant party;
provided, however, that this Section 8.11 does not apply to any suit by the Trustee, any suit by a Holder pursuant
to Section 8.07 or any suit by the Required Holders.
Section 8.12. Trustee’s
Obligation to Provide Notice of Defaults to Holders.
If
a Default has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default occurs and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
then the Trustee will send Holders a notice of such Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after it occurs or, if
it is not actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at such time, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business
Days) after it becomes actually known to a Responsible Officer; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default
or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and for so
long as it in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Holders. The Trustee will not be deemed to
have notice of any Default or Event of Default (other than a Default of any payment) unless written notice of any event that is in fact
such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer at the address of the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.01,
and such notice references the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture and states it is a notice of default.
Article 9. Amendments,
Supplements and Waivers
Section 9.01. Without
the Consent of Holders.

all without delivery of any instrument or any further action by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors,
as applicable. At the request and sole expense of Grantors, as applicable, following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall

Trustee, as applicable, under any Collateral Documents, and execute and deliver (or cause the execution and delivery) to Grantors, as

Section 9.02. With
the Consent of Holders.
(A) Generally.
Subject to Sections 9.01, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.07 and the immediately following sentence, the Company, the Trustee
and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may, with the consent of the Required Holders, amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes
or the Collateral Documents or waive compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, but subject to Section 9.01, without the consent of each affected Holder,

of consideration due on any Note (whether on an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity
Date or upon conversion, or otherwise), or the date(s) or time(s) such consideration is payable or deliverable, as applicable,
without the consent of each affected Holder.
(B) Holders
Need Not Approve the Particular Form of any Amendment. A consent of any Holder pursuant to this Section 9.02 need
only approve the substance, and not necessarily the particular form, of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.03. Notice
of Amendments, Supplements and Waivers.
As soon as reasonably practicable
after any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to Section 9.01 or 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will send
to the Holders and the Trustee notice that (A) describes the substance of such amendment, supplement or waiver in reasonable detail
and (B) states the effective date thereof; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to provide such
notice to the Holders if such amendment, supplement or waiver is included in a periodic report filed by the Company with the SEC within
four (4) Business Days of its effectiveness. The failure to send, or the existence of any defect in, such notice will not impair
or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.04. Revocation,
Effect and Solicitation of Consents; Special Record Dates; Etc.
(A) Revocation
and Effect of Consents. The consent of a Holder of a Note to an amendment, supplement or waiver will bind (and constitute the consent
of) each subsequent Holder of any Note to the extent the same evidences any portion of the same indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s
Note, subject to the right of any Holder of a Note to revoke (if not prohibited pursuant to Section 9.04(B)) any such consent
with respect to such Note by delivering notice of revocation to the Trustee before the time such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes
effective.
(B) Special
Record Dates. The Company may, but is not required to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent
or take any other action in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 9. If a record date
is fixed, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.04(A), only Persons who are Holders as of such record
date (or their duly designated proxies) will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any
such action, regardless of whether such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; provided, however, that
no such consent will be valid or effective for more than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after such record date.
(C) Solicitation
of Consents. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in the Indenture or the Notes to the consent of a Holder will be deemed to
include any such consent obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, any Notes.
(D) Effectiveness
and Binding Effect. Each amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 9 will become effective in accordance
with its terms and, when it becomes effective with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof), will thereafter bind every Holder of
such Note (or such portion).
Section 9.05. Notations
and Exchanges.
If
any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee, at the Company’s direction, or the Company may,
in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee, at the Company’s direction,
may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion,
the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance
with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue
a new Note pursuant to this Section 9.05 will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.06. Trustee
to Execute Supplemental Indentures.
The Trustee and the Collateral
Agent will execute and deliver any supplemental indenture or amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9; provided,
however, that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent need not (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) execute or deliver
any such amendment or supplemental indenture that adversely affects the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s rights, duties,
liabilities, indemnities or immunities. In executing any such supplemental indenture or amendment, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent
will be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Base Indenture) will be fully protected in relying on, an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by the Indenture; and (B) in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment or supplemental indenture
is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
Article 10.
Satisfaction and Discharge
Section 10.01. Termination
of Company’s Obligations.
The
Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect, as to all Notes issued under the Indenture, when:
(A) all
Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.12) have (i) been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or (ii) become due and payable (whether on the Redemption Date, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a Forced Conversion,
the Maturity Date, upon conversion or otherwise) for an amount of cash or Conversion Consideration, as applicable, that has been fixed;
(B) the
Company has caused there to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, or with the Paying Agent (or, with respect to Conversion Consideration,
the Conversion Agent), in each case for the benefit of the Holders, or has otherwise caused there to be delivered to the Holders, cash
(or, with respect to Notes to be converted, Conversion Consideration) sufficient to satisfy all amounts or other property due on all
Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.12);
(C) the
Company has paid all other amounts payable by it under the Indenture with respect to the Notes; and
(D) the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent
to the discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes have been satisfied;
provided,
however, that Article 13 of this Indenture and Section 14.01 will survive such discharge and, until no
Notes remain outstanding, Section 2.14 and the obligations of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent with
respect to money or other property deposited with them will survive such discharge.
At the Company’s written
request, the Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as to the Notes.
Section 10.02. Repayment
to Company.
Subject to applicable unclaimed
property law, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company if there exists (and, at the Company’s
request, promptly deliver to the Company) any cash, Conversion Consideration or other property held by any of them for payment or delivery
on the Notes that remain unclaimed two (2) years after the date on which such payment or delivery was due. After such delivery to
the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will have no further liability to any Holder with respect to such
cash, Conversion Consideration or other property, and Holders entitled to the payment or delivery of such cash, Conversion Consideration
or other property must look to the Company for payment as a general creditor of the Company.
Section 10.03. Reinstatement.
If the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Conversion Agent is unable to apply any cash or other property deposited with it pursuant to Section 10.01 because
of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or other governmental authority that enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits
such application, then the discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Section 10.01 will be rescinded; provided, however,
that if the Company thereafter pays or delivers any cash or other property due on the Notes to the Holders thereof, then the Company
will be subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such cash or other property from the cash or other property, if any, held
by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable.
Article 11.
Collateral Agency
Section 11.01. Collateral
Agent.
Each Holder, by its acceptance
of a Note, hereby (i) designates and appoints HB Fund LLC to act as the Collateral Agent hereunder, (ii) designates and appoints
the Collateral Agent to act as the Convertible Parity Lien Representative under the Collateral Trust Agreement and (iii) authorizes
and directs the Collateral Agent to appoint the Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Agreement, in each case, on behalf of the
Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Subject
in all cases to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall hold (or cause the Collateral Trustee to hold), and
will be entitled to enforce, all Liens and securities interests required by the terms of the Notes. Except as provided by the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated:
(a) to
act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any Person;
(b) to
foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien; or
(c) to
take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Collateral Documents, the Liens created thereby or the Collateral.
Section 11.02. Application
Proceeds of any Collateral.
Subject in all cases to the
Collateral Trust Agreement, if any collateral securing any of the Notes is sold or otherwise realized upon by the Collateral Agent in
connection with any foreclosure, collection or other enforcement of Liens or security interests granted to the Collateral Agent or by
the Collateral Trustee to secure the Notes, the proceeds received by the Collateral Agent from such foreclosure, collection or other
enforcement will be delivered by the Collateral Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance with Section 8.10.
Subject to the provisions of Article 13
of this Indenture and to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Agent may direct, on behalf of the Holders of the Notes,
the Collateral Trustee to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to enforce any of the terms of any applicable collateral
documents and to collect and receive any and all amounts payable by the Company in respect of the Notes.
Section 11.03. Limitation
on the Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall
be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of any collateral securing the Notes in its possession if such collateral
is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss
or diminution in the value of any such collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent
or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.
The Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the collateral securing the Notes or for the validity, perfection,
priority or enforceability of the liens or securities interests in any such collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason
of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of any such collateral or any agreement or assignment
contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to any such collateral, for insuring any such collateral or for the payment
of taxes, insurance premiums or other related payments, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance
of any such collateral.
The Collateral Agent is authorized
and directed to (i) enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Closing, (ii) bind
the Trustee and the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Transaction Documents, and (iii) perform and observe its obligations
under the Transaction Documents.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall only act pursuant to the instructions of the requisite Holders or in accordance
with the Collateral Trust Agreement, with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Collateral and the Trustee shall have no obligation
to provide any direction or instruction to the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as such or in its capacity as the Convertible Parity
Lien Representative.
Any corporation or association
into which either the Collateral Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer
all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association
resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which the Collateral Agent, is a party, will be and become
the successor to the Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as Convertible Parity Lien Representative), under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor,
without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a conflict with the terms of this Section 11.03 and the terms of the Collateral
Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement will control.
The Collateral Agent may
resign at any time without cause by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders. The
Holders that hold the majority of the outstanding Notes may at any time remove the Collateral Agent without cause by an instrument in
writing delivered to the Issuer, the other Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. No resignation by or removal of the Collateral
Agent pursuant to this Section 11.03 shall become effective prior to the date of appointment by such Holders of a successor
Collateral Agent and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Collateral Agent.
Article 12.
Collateral And Security
Section 12.01. General.
The

Collateral. On and following the date that the Secured Notes are no longer outstanding, the Notes shall be unsecured, and all Collateral
will be automatically released from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents (other than Liens securing any accounts with

or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission
to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for
the validity of the title of the Grantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments
or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.
(D) The
Trustee shall have no obligation to give, execute, deliver, file, record, authorize or obtain any financing statements, notices, instruments,

take any such action) as shall reasonably be required by the Collateral Trustee to evidence, confirm and effectuate any release of Collateral
provided for in Section 12.04(B) and (C).

such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or Collateral Agent may deem necessary to protect its interests and the interests of the Trustee
or Collateral Agent and the Holders in the Collateral.
Section 12.06. Powers
Exercisable by Receiver, Trustee or Collateral Agent.
In
case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XII
and the Collateral Documents upon the Issuer with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised

Documents, then, in each such event, the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall, within 30 Business Days, advise the Holders, in writing and
at the Issuer’s expense, of the matter or thing as to which consent has been requested or the performance or instrument required

of Trustee.

and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any claim, action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity, damage, demand, expense (including
but not limited to reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel), loss, expenses, fees
or charges (including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee)) or liability incurred by them without negligence
or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and their rights
or duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including enforcement of this indemnity). The Trustee shall notify the Company
promptly of any third party claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend such claim and the Trustee shall cooperate
in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel (plus local counsel, if applicable) and the Company shall pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee.
The Company need not reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or
agent of the Trustee through willful misconduct or negligence.
To secure the Company’s
payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest on the Notes.
When the Trustee incurs expenses
or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Sections 8.01(A)(ix) and 8.01(A)(x) of this Indenture
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute administrative expenses for purposes of priority
under any Bankruptcy Law.
The Company’s obligations
under this Section 13.07 of this Indenture and any Lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Trustee, the repayment of the Securities, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article 13 of this
Indenture and any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law.
Section 13.08. Replacement
of Trustee.
A resignation or removal
of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment
as provided in this Section.
The
Trustee may resign with respect to the Notes by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the
Trustee and the Company at least 30 days prior to the requested date of removal. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the
Notes if:
(a) the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 13.10 of this Indenture;
(b) the
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(c) a
Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(d) the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
If
a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes may, at the sole expense of
the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after
that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the Lien provided for
in Section 13.07 of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and
the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to the Notes for which it is acting as
Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each Holder of each such Series. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 13.08 of this Indenture, the Company’s obligations under Section 13.07
of this Indenture hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred
by it for actions taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with its rights, powers and duties under this Indenture prior to such replacement.
Section 13.09. Successor
Trustee by Merger, Etc.
If the Trustee consolidates
with, merges or converts into, or sells or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,
the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee, subject to Section 13.10 of this Indenture.

Board of Directors
Tellurian Inc.
1201 Louisiana Street, Suite 3100
Houston, Texas 77002
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as counsel to Tellurian Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing
by the Company of a prospectus supplement dated August 16, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), which supplements
the Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-269069)
filed by the Company on December 30, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including the base prospectus dated December 30,
2022 included therein (together with the Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”), relating to the resale by the selling
stockholder named in the Prospectus Supplement (the “Selling Stockholder”) of up to 68,414,528 shares of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), consisting of (i) up to 9,629,629 shares (the “Senior
Note Interest Shares”) of Common Stock payable as interest on $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s
10.00% senior secured notes due October 1, 2025 (the “Senior Notes”) held by the Selling Stockholder, (ii) up
to 16,049,514 shares (the “Convertible Note Interest Shares”) of Common Stock payable as interest on $83,334,000 aggregate
principal amount of the Company’s 6.00% senior secured convertible notes due October 1, 2025 (the “Convertible Notes,”
and together with the Senior Notes, the “Notes”) held by the Selling Stockholder, and (iii) up to 42,735,385 shares
(the “Conversion Shares”) of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes held by the Selling Stockholder.
The Senior Note Interest Shares, the Convertible Note Interest Shares, and the Conversion Shares are collectively referred to herein as
the “Shares.”
On August 8, 2023, the
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with the Selling Stockholder pursuant to which it
purchased, and the Company issued and sold in a private placement to the Selling Stockholder, (i) the Senior Notes pursuant to an
indenture dated as of June 3, 2022 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National
Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and an eighth supplemental indenture (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture”)
among the Company, the Trustee and the collateral agent named therein and (ii) the Convertible Notes pursuant to the Base Indenture
and a ninth supplemental indenture (the “Ninth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and the
Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indentures”), among the Company, the Trustee and the collateral agent named therein.

We have examined originals
or certified copies of the SPA, the Notes, the Indentures, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and such corporate records of
the Company, including certain resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, and other certificates and documents of officials
of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the legal capacity of each natural person signing any document reviewed by us, the authority of each person signing
in a representative capacity (other than the Company) any document reviewed by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us or filed with the SEC as conformed and certified
or reproduced copies. In conducting our examination of documents, we have assumed the power, corporate or other, of all parties thereto
(other than the Company) to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite
action, corporate or other, and the due execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and that to the extent such documents
purport to constitute agreements, such documents constitute valid and binding obligations of such parties. We further assume that the
Notes and Indentures constitute valid and binding obligations of all the parties thereto. As to any facts material to our opinion, we
have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates
of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Company. We assume for purposes of this opinion that, when any shares
of Common Stock are required to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the number of such shares will not exceed the number of
shares then permitted to be issued under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended.
Based
upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion
that the Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance as due payment of interest on the Notes or due conversion of the Convertible
Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indentures, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinions and other matters
in this letter are qualified in their entirety and subject to the following:
A. The
foregoing opinion is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law (including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution
and the reported judicial decisions interpreting the Delaware General Corporation Law) and the federal laws of the United States of America.
We are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction, domestic or foreign.
B. This
letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. We assume
herein no obligation, and hereby disclaim any obligation, to make any inquiry after the date hereof or to advise you of any future changes
in the foregoing or of any fact or circumstance that may hereafter come to our attention.

We hereby consent to the filing
of this opinion as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on the date hereof and to the use of our name

admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder.
