Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement

On November 26, 2014, Cheniere Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement (the “Amended Subscription Agreement”), by and among the Company and RRJ Capital II Ltd, Baytree Investments (Mauritius) Pte Ltd, and Seatown Lionfish Pte. Ltd. (together, the “Purchasers”), to issue and sell to the Purchasers, in aggregate, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its unsecured convertible PIK notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Amended Subscription Agreement amended and restated in its entirety the Subscription Agreement, dated November 10, 2014 (the “Original Subscription Agreement”), between the Company and RRJ Capital II Ltd, in order to add additional purchasers. The terms of the Original Subscription Agreement were previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 12, 2014 (the “Prior 8-K”) and are consistent with the terms in the Amended Subscription Agreement. The description of the Original Subscription Agreement set forth in Item 1.01 of the Prior 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Indenture Relating to 4.875% Unsecured PIK Convertible Notes Due 2021

On November 28, 2014, the Company issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of November 28, 2014 (the “Indenture”), between the Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The sale of the Notes has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes were sold on a private placement basis in reliance on the exemption from registration provided for under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation S promulgated thereunder.

The Notes will mature on May 28, 2021, and accrue interest at a rate of 4.875% per annum, which is payable in kind (“PIK”) by increasing the principal amount of the Notes outstanding. One year after the Closing Date, provided that the closing price of common stock of the Company is greater than or equal to the conversion price on the date of conversion, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder into the common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of $93.64. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. The Company will have the option to satisfy the conversion obligation with cash, common stock or a combination thereof.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to maturity; however, (1) upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), holders have a one-time option to require the Company to purchase all, but not part, of the Notes held by such holder for cash at a price equal to (i) if the consideration received for the transaction or transactions giving rise to the fundamental change is at least 10% cash (or non-capital stock), the payment in cash of an amount equal to 125% of the entire outstanding principal balance of the Notes then owned by such holder and accrued and unpaid interest

thereon; or (ii) if more than 90% of the consideration received for the transaction or transactions giving rise to the fundamental change is in the form of capital stock, the payment in cash of an amount equal to 100% of the entire principal balance of the Notes then owned by such beneficial owner, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; and (2) upon the payment by the Company of a dividend to any or all of the holders of capital stock of the Company that is funded directly or indirectly by the incurrence of $500,000,000.00 or more of indebtedness, if the “ninety-day volume-weighted average price” (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company’s common shares falls below US$30 per share (subject to adjustment for certain specified events), holders have a one-time option to require the Company to purchase all, but not part, of the Notes held by such holder for cash at a price equal to the entire outstanding principal balance of the Notes then owned by such beneficial owner, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon

The following events are considered “events of default,” which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes:

(1)

The Company fails to pay when due any amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes;

(2)

The Company fails to pay any installment of interest on the Notes when due and payable;

(3)

Any representation or warranty made to the Purchasers in the Amended Subscription Agreement proves to be false or erroneous in any material respect when made;

(4)

The institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of any debt, liquidation or receivership proceedings by or against the Company occurs under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”, as amended, or any part thereof, or under any other laws, whether state or federal, for the relief of debtors, now or hereafter existing which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of the institution thereof;

(5)

Any admission by the Company that the Company is unable to pay its debts as such debts mature or an assignment for the benefit of the creditors of the Company;

(6)

Entry by any court of a final judgment in an amount in excess of US$250,000,000.00 against the Company which is not discharged or stayed within ninety (90) days thereof;

(7)

The appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Company; or

(8)

The acceleration of the maturity of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company owing to any other person in an amount in excess of US$250,000,000.00, provided however, if the documents evidencing the accelerated indebtedness do not provide for a cure period prior to acceleration and the Company causes the acceleration to be rescinded within sixty (60) days after the date of acceleration, then such event of default will be deemed to be cured as a result of such rescission of acceleration within such sixty (60) day period.

The Indenture provides that if an event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, following any applicable cure period, a holder may, with the approval of the holders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the then outstanding Notes, terminate all of such holder’s obligations under the Notes and the Amended Subscription Agreement, declare all Notes of,

and all sums due to, such holder pursuant to its Notes and/or the Amended Subscription Agreement to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same will become forthwith due and payable and such holder will be entitled to proceed to selectively and successively enforce such holder’s rights under the Amended Subscription Agreement or any other instruments delivered to such holder in connection with the Amended Subscription Agreement (including the Notes).

At any time after a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for payment of money has been obtained, if (a) the rescission would not conflict with any existing order or decree and (b) all applicable compensation and reimbursement payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee have been made, then the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding or the holder originally causing the acceleration by written notice to the Trustee may rescind the declaration of acceleration and its consequences.

In the event a default has not been waived or cured during the applicable cure period, interest will accrue on the then outstanding principal balance of the notes and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate of interest in effect immediately prior to such adjustment plus 2% per annum from the date on which such default occurred up to the date on which such default is remedied by the Company or waived by the holder (or, if earlier, the maturity date) as well after as before judgment. If the Company does not meet its obligations set forth in the Indenture to either effect an exchange offer or cause a registration statement to become effective with respect to the Notes and underlying common stock within the timeframes specified in the Indenture, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the rate of interest in effect immediately prior to such adjustment plus (i) for the first 180 days during which such increased rate is applicable, 0.5% per annum, and (ii) thereafter, 1.0% per annum, from the date that is one year from the date of the Indenture until the date upon which such exchange offer closes or such registration statement becomes effective, as applicable, (or, if earlier, the maturity date); however, if the Securities are freely tradable and a registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC with respect to the shares of common stock, such increased interest rate will cease to apply.

The Amended Subscription Agreement, the Indenture and a form of the Note are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. The descriptions of the material terms of the agreements and the Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.

(b) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 9.6 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably request in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other

than to require delivery of such opinions of counsel, certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture (including if so requested by the Company exercising a right to require the delivery of such items), and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.7 Replacement Securities

If (a) any mutilated security is surrendered to the Company, a Registrar or the Trustee, or (b) the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and, in either case, there is delivered to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as shall be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide or protected purchaser, the Company shall issue, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be or purchased by the Company pursuant to Article 5, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay, redeem or purchase such Security, as the case may be, in accordance herewith.

Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.7, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued and outstanding hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.7 are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 2.8 Outstanding Securities

Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee, except for those cancelled by it, those paid, redeemed or repurchased pursuant to Section 2.7, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives, subsequent to the new Security’s authentication, proof satisfactory to the Company that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide or protected purchaser.

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Final Maturity Date or on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date or a Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date, as the case may be, cash sufficient to pay all Securities then payable, then on and after such Final Maturity Date, Fundamental Change Purchase Date or Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date, as the case may be, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue.

If a Security is converted in accordance with Article 7, then on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such Security shall cease to accrue, unless there shall be a default in the delivery of the consideration payable hereunder upon such conversion.

Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.9, a Security does not cease to be outstanding solely because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

Section 2.9 Treasury Securities

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have given or concurred in any notice, request, demand, authorization, direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for such purposes, except that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such notice, request, demand, authorization, direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Trust Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Securities and that the pledgee is not, and is not acting on the behalf of, the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

Section 2.10 Temporary Securities

Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company with the consent of the Trustee reasonably considers appropriate for temporary Securities. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

Section 2.11 Cancellation

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, redemption, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, redemption, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall deliver the canceled Securities to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 7.

All Securities that are redeemed or purchased pursuant to Article 5 or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Legend; Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.

(i) Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for interests in the Global Securities only (x) if the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Securities or if it at any time ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, if so required by applicable law or regulation, and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (y) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (z) by the Company in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. In any such case, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver Certificated Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Securities in exchange therefor. Only Restricted Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Restricted Global Securities, and only Unrestricted Certificated Securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Unrestricted Global Securities. Certificated Securities issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities shall be registered in such names and shall be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its Agent Members or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Certificated Securities to the Persons in whose name such Securities are so registered. Such exchange shall be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. In the event that the Certificated Securities are not issued to each such beneficial owner promptly after the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue such Certificated Securities, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 11.6 or 11.7 hereof, the right of any beneficial owner of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security that represents such beneficial owner’s Securities as if such Certificated Securities had been issued.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.12(a)(i), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities. In the event that Certificated Securities are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities in accordance with Section 2.12(a)(i), and, on or after such event, Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder to the Registrar with a request:

(x) to register the transfer of the Certificated Securities to a person who will take delivery thereof in the form of Certificated Securities only; or

(y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of Certificated Securities of other authorized denominations,

such Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange:

(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.6(a); and

(ii) in the case of a Restricted Certificated Security, such request shall be accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(1) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, or such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B);

(2) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred to a person the Holder reasonably believes is a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B);

(3) if such Restricted Certificated Security is being transferred pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144 or pursuant to and in compliance with another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from the Holder (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B) and, if the Company or the Registrar so requests, an opinion of counsel, certificates and other information reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Registrar to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.

(c) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Restricted Global Security for a Beneficial Interest in an Unrestricted Global Security. Any person having a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security may upon request, subject to the Applicable Procedures, transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who is required or permitted to take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Global Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions, or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security and the following additional information and documents in such form as is customary for the Depositary from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of the Person having such beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security (all of which may be submitted by facsimile or electronically):

(i) if such beneficial interest is being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from the Holder (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B); or

(ii) if such beneficial interest is being transferred pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144, a certification to that effect from the Holder (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B) and, if the Company or the Trustee so requests, an opinion of counsel, certificates and order information reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Registrar to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act,

the Registrar shall reduce or cause to be reduced the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the appropriate principal amount and shall increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Security by a like principal amount. Such transfer shall otherwise be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. If no Unrestricted Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver an Unrestricted Global Security.

(d) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in an Unrestricted Global Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Restricted Global Security. Any person having a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security may upon request, subject to the Applicable Procedures, transfer such beneficial interest to a person who is required or permitted to take delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Global Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions, or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security and the following additional information and documents in such form as is customary for the Depositary, from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of the person having such beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global Security (all of which may be submitted by facsimile or electronically):

(iv) a certification (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B) to the effect that such beneficial interest is being transferred to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company,

the Registrar shall reduce or cause to be reduced the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Security by the appropriate principal amount and shall increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by a like principal amount. Such transfer shall otherwise be effected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. If no Restricted Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver a Restricted Global Security.

(e) Transfers of Certificated Securities for Beneficial Interest in Global Securities. In the event that Certificated Securities are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities and, thereafter, the events or conditions specified in Section 2.12(a)(i) which required such exchange shall cease to exist, the Company shall mail notice to the Trustee and to the Holders (i) stating that Holders may exchange Certificated Securities for interests in Global Securities by complying with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and (ii) briefly describing such procedures and the events or circumstances requiring that such notice be given. Thereafter, if Certificated Securities are presented by a Holder to a Registrar with a request:

(x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, which request shall specify whether such Global Security will be a Restricted Global Security or an Unrestricted Global Security, or

(y) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of beneficial interests in a Global Security, which beneficial interests will be owned by the Holder transferring such Certificated Securities (provided that in the case of such an exchange, Restricted Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Restricted Global Securities and Unrestricted Certificated Securities may be exchanged only for Unrestricted Global Securities),

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested by canceling such Certificated Security and causing the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global

Security to be increased accordingly and, if no such Global Security is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly) authenticate and deliver a new Global Security; provided, however, that the Certificated Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange:

(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in accordance with the proviso to Section 2.6(a);

Section 5.4 Repayment to the Company

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 5.3 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities that the Company is obligated to purchase on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, promptly after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall return any such excess Cash to the Company.

Section 5.5 Compliance with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Securities

(11) the procedures for withdrawing a Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice;

If any of the Securities are in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures applicable to repurchases.

(a) Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice specified in Section 6.1(c), the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to receive the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (i) the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided such Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 6.1(c)) and (ii) the time of delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 6.1(c). A Security in respect of which a Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article 7 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice, unless either (i) such Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 6.2(b); or (ii) there shall be a default in the payment of the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price, provided, that the conversion right with respect to such Security shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such default is cured and such Security is purchased in accordance herewith.

(b) A Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by any Holder delivering such Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice upon delivery of a written notice of withdrawal (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) to the Paying Agent at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date, specifying:

(1) if Certificated Securities are to be withdrawn, the certificate numbers of the Securities in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

Section 6.3 Deposit of Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price

Prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount in cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date) sufficient to pay the aggregate Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price of all the Securities that are to be purchased on that Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date.

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, at 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date, Cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price of all Securities for which a Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Notice has been delivered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 6.2(b) of this Indenture, then, on and after such Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue, whether or not such Securities are delivered to the Paying Agent, and the rights of the Holders in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price upon delivery of such Securities by their Holders to the Paying Agent).

Section 6.4 Repayment to the Company

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3 exceeds the aggregate Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price of the Securities that the Company is obligated to purchase on the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date, then, promptly after the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall return any such excess Cash to the Company.

Section 6.5 Compliance with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Securities

When complying with the provisions of Article 6 hereof (provided that such offer or purchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or purchase), and subject to any exemptions available under applicable law, the Company shall:

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

(b) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations in connection with any purchase pursuant to a Dividend Recapitalization to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein.

ARTICLE 7

CONVERSION

Section 7.1 Conversion Privilege

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 7, provided that the Closing Price of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert, at such Holder’s sole option, any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at the Conversion Rate. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the Holder elects to convert its Security into Common Stock as described in this Section 7.1, the Company shall be entitled to (i) deliver shares of Common Stock to the Holder, (ii) pay the Holder an amount in Cash equal to the market value of the shares calculated using the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date, or (iii) any combination thereof, in accordance with Section 7.6. If the issuance of Common Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional share in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price on the Conversion Date. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of Common Stock to any Person other than the converting Holder or with respect to any income tax due by such Holder with respect to such Common Stock and the Company shall not be required to make any such issuance or delivery unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

(b) Securities delivered for conversion will be deemed to have been converted at immediately prior to 5:00 p.m. on the Conversion Date. A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted (or, in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or with Section 7.2, is deemed to have converted or become a record holder of Common Stock) its Securities to Common Stock and only to the extent such Securities are deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Article 7.

Section 7.2 Conversion Procedure.

(a) Optional Conversion. With effect only from the date that is one (1) year following the date of this Indenture, the Holder may convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “CONVERSION DATE”) by (A) transmitting by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached to the form of Security as Exhibit I (the “CONVERSION NOTICE”) to the Company and (B) if the Security is a Certificated Security, surrendering the Security to a reputable common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Security in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a notice addressed to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “TRANSFER AGENT”) confirming (i) receipt of such Conversion Notice and (ii) the method by which the Company intends to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in accordance with Section 7.6(a). If the Security is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal balance of the Security (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon) is greater than the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable after, and no later than three (3) Trading Days following, receipt of the Security, and in each case at its own expense, issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate awith the terms of this Note and the Indenture, and upon such

(b) exercise the Companynd deliver to the Holder, a new Security (in accordance with the terms of the Security) representing the outstanding Principal balance of the Security not converted. For the avoidance of doubt, any accrued and unpaid Interest on the outstanding Principal balance of the Security not converted shall remain outstanding and payable at the next Interest Payment Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Security shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. In the event of a partial conversion of the Security pursuant hereto or to the terms of the Security, the Conversion Amount converted shall be deducted from the aggregate amount of the outstanding Principal balance of the Security and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon for the purposes of calculating future Interest payments due on the Security pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Security following such partial conversion.

(c) The right of conversion attaching to any Security may be exercised (i) if such Security is represented by a Global Security, by book-entry transfer to the Conversion Agent through the facilities of the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, or (ii) if the Security is represented by a Certificated Security, by physical delivery of the Certificated Note to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Indenture, and upon such exercise the Company shall, provided all of the other requirements for conversion have been satisfied by the Holder, (A) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of

Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, in each case by no later than the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date of receipt of this Note (whether through book-entry transfer or physical delivery). To the extent that Exchange Shares are represented by certificates, such certificates shall be in such form or forms as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. Such certificate shall be issued in consecutive order and shall be numbered in the order of their issue, and shall be signed by the Chairman, the President or any Vice President and the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer. Any or all of the signatures on a certificate may be a facsimile. In the event any such officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to hold such office or to be employed by the Company before such certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such officer had held such office on the date of issue.

(d) The person in whose name the Security is registered shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of a Security on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided further, however, that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date on which such Security was delivered as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of a Security, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security. No separate payment or adjustment will be made for accrued and unpaid interest on a converted Security or for dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security except as provided in this Indenture.

Section 7.3 Company to Provide Stock

(a) The Company shall, prior to the issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve at all times and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all of the Securities.

(b) All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued shares or shares held in the treasury of the Company, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free of any preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

(c) The Company shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national and regional securities exchange or on Nasdaq or such other market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; provided, however, that, if the rules of such automated quotation system or exchange permit the Company to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of the Securities into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with the requirements of such automated quotation system or exchange at such time.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall give to any Holder any rights as a creditor in respect solely of its right to conversion.

Section 7.4 Conversion Price Adjustment.

(a) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of capital stock of the Company payable in Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. (For the purposes of determining adjustments to the Conversion Price as set forth herein, shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, and distributions or issuances in respect thereof shall be disregarded.)

(b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such termination. In case any rights or warrants referred to in this paragraph in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire unexercised, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired rights or warrants.

(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock of any class or series, other securities, cash or assets, Common Stock, rights or warrants referred to in Section 7.4(b) and other than pursuant to a Fundamental Change or a dividend or distribution payable exclusively in cash), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment less the then Fair Market Value of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets distributed per share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such payment. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock shares of any capital stock of, or other equity interest in, any subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “SPIN OFF”) and, immediately after such distribution, such capital stock or other equity interest is registered under the Exchange Act and listed and publicly traded on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such distribution less (ii) the average of the Closing Prices of the amount of such capital stock or other equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock on such exchange during the first ten days of such public trading immediately following and including the effective date of the Spin Off and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such distribution.

(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock payable exclusively in cash (other than pursuant to a Fundamental Change) in an aggregate amount that, when combined with the aggregate amount paid in respect of all other distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock paid exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date fixed for the payment of such distribution to the extent such amount has not already been applied in a prior adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, exceeds nine percent (9%) of the product of the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment times the number of shares of Common Stock on which such distribution is paid (such excess being herein referred to as the “EXCESS DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT”), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such payment shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Adjusted Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment less the Per Share Excess Distribution Amount paid in such distribution and the denominator shall be such Adjusted Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such payment.

(f) In case the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall consummate a tender or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock, the Conversion Price in

effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of expiration of such tender or exchange offer shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date of expiration less the Per Share Premium Amount paid in such tender or exchange offer and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date of expiration.

(g) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution referred to in Section 7.4(d) or 7.4(e), the Holder converting the Security (or any portion of the outstanding Principal balance of the Security (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon)) subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such distribution shall also be entitled to receive, for each share of Common Stock into which the Security (or portion of the outstanding Principal balance of the Security (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon) being converted), the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; provided, however, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors) with respect to all Holders so converting, the Company may, in lieu of distributing to such Holder any portion or all of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets to which such holder is entitled as set forth above, (i) pay such Holder an amount in Cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof or (ii) distribute to such Holder a due bill therefor, provided that such due bill (A) meets any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded and (B) requires payment or delivery of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, Cash or assets no later than the date of payment thereof to holders of shares of Common Stock receiving such distribution.

(h) In the event of any reclassification of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or in the event of any Fundamental Change, and provided in the case of a Fundamental Change that the Holder does not elect the Fundamental Change Option pursuant to Section 5.1, each Security then outstanding shall, without the consent of any Holder of Securities, become convertible in accordance with this Indenture and the Security, only into the kind and amount of securities (of the Company or another issuer), Cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification or Fundamental Change by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Security could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or Fundamental Change, after giving effect to any adjustment event. The provisions of this Section 7.4(h) and any equivalent thereof in any such securities similarly shall apply to successive reclassifications or Fundamental Changes. The provisions of this Section 7.4(h) and Section 5.1 shall be the sole rights of Holders of Securities in connection with any reclassification or Fundamental Change and such Holders shall have no separate vote thereon.

(i) The Company may not engage in any transaction if, as a result thereof, the Conversion Price would be reduced to below the par value per share of the Common Stock.

(j) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one tenth of one percent (0.1%) in the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 7.4(j) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

Section 7.5 Notice of Adjustment

Whenever the Conversion Price or conversion privilege is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Securityholders a notice of the adjustment in accordance with Section 16.2, and file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. Unless and until the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate setting forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.

Section 7.6 Option to Satisfy Conversion Obligation with Cash, Common Stock or Combination Thereof.

(a) In lieu of delivery of shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation upon conversion of the Securities (the “CONVERSION OBLIGATION”), the Company may elect to deliver Cash or a combination of Cash and shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. The Company shall notify the Holder(s) in writing of the method by which the Company intends to satisfy its Conversion Obligation as follows: (i) no later than 11 Trading Days immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date, in respect of Securities to be converted during the period beginning 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the Final Maturity Date and ending one Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date; and (ii) no later than three Trading Days immediately following the Conversion Date in all other cases (such period, the “SETTLEMENT NOTICE PERIOD”). If the Company fails to give the notice described in the preceding sentence within the prescribed time periods, then the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation only in shares of Common Stock (and Cash in lieu of fractional shares). If the Company elects to satisfy any portion of its Conversion Obligation in Cash, the Company shall specify in such notice the amount to be satisfied in Cash either as a percentage of the Conversion Obligation or as a fixed dollar amount. The Company shall treat all Holders converting on the same Trading Day in the same manner. The Company shall not have any obligation to satisfy its Conversion Obligations arising on different Trading Days in the same manner.

Section 7.7 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

Neither the Trustee nor any other Agent shall have any responsibility or duty to calculate the Conversion prices, to determine when an adjustment under this Article 7 should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment set forth in, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate, including the Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.5. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent makes any representation as to the validity or value of any securities or

assets issued upon conversion of Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee and any Agent shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with any provisions of this Article 7. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 7 has occurred which makes the Securities eligible for conversion until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and any Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that such event has occurred (it being understood that the Company shall not be required to deliver an Officer’s Certificate each time the condition set forth in Section 7.1(c) that the Closing Price of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to the Conversion Price is satisfied), on which Officer’s Certificate the Trustee and any such Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and any such Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event.

(1) either:

(A) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person is the Company or

(d) Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of any Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of any Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor.

(b) Nonpayment of Interest. The Company fails to pay any installment of Interest on the Securities when due and payable; or

(c) Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made to the Subscribers in the Subscription Agreement proves to be false or erroneous in any material respect when made; or

(d) Bankruptcy. The institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of any debt, liquidation or receivership proceedings by or against the Company occurs under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”, as amended, or any part thereof, or under any other laws, whether state or federal, for the relief of debtors, now or hereafter existing which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of the institution thereof; or

(e) Insolvency. Any admission by the Company that the Company is unable to pay its debts as such debts mature or an assignment for the benefit of the creditors of the Company; or

(f) Judgment. Entry by any court of a final judgment in an amount in excess of US$250,000,000.00 against the Company which is not discharged or stayed within ninety (90) days thereof; or

(g) Receivership. The appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Company; or

(h) Acceleration of Other Debt. The acceleration of the maturity of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company owing to any other Person in an amount in excess of US$250,000,000.00, provided however, if the documents evidencing the accelerated indebtedness do not provide for a cure period prior to acceleration and the Company causes the acceleration to be rescinded within sixty (60) days after the date of acceleration, then the Event of Default under this Section 11.1 shall be deemed to be cured as a result of such rescission of acceleration within such sixty (60) day period.

The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to a Trust Officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee by the Company (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 9.3 or Section 9.7), the Paying Agent, any Holder or any agent of any Holder.

Section 11.2 Default Cure Period.

Subject to the terms and conditions herein, if the Company cures or causes to be cured such Default or Event of Default within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof, the parties will be restored to their respective rights and obligations under the Security and the Indenture as if no Default or Event of Default had occurred.

Section 11.3 Acceleration.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, if any Event of Default occurs and has not been waived in writing by the Holders in accordance with Section 11.5, a Holder, at such Holder’s option, may, with the approval of the Holders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding Principal balance of the then outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Trustee and the Company, terminate all of such Holder’s obligations under the Security and the Subscription Agreement, declare all Securities of, and all sums due to, such Holder pursuant to its Securities and/or the Subscription Agreement to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same will become forthwith due and payable and such Holder will be entitled to proceed to selectively and successively enforce such Holder’s rights under the Subscription Agreement or any other instruments delivered to such Holder in connection with the Subscription Agreement (including any Securities).

(b) The Holders holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding or the Holder originally causing the acceleration by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration of Securities and its consequences before a judgment or decree for the payment of money has been obtained by the Trustee if (a) the rescission would not conflict with any existing order or decree and (b) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 12.6 have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 11.4 Default Interest.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been waived or timely cured during the sixty (60) day cure period as provided in Section 11.2, Interest shall accrue on the amount of the then outstanding Principal balance of the Securities and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (“DEFAULT INTEREST”) at a rate equal to the rate of Interest in effect

immediately prior to adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.4 plus 2% per annum from the date on which such Event of Default occurred up to the date on which that Event of Default is remedied by the Company or waived by the Holder (or, if earlier, the Final Maturity Date) as well after as before judgment. Default Interest shall be payable in the same form as PIK Interest and will accrue daily on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months in arrears.

(b) If the Company fails to close an Exchange Offer (as such term is defined in Section 6.1 of the Subscription Agreement) or to cause a Registration Statement (as such term is defined in Section 6.2 of the Subscription Agreement) to be effective by the date that is one year from the date of this Indenture, Interest shall accrue on the amount of the then outstanding Principal balance of the Securities and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (“REGISTRATION DEFAULT INTEREST”) at a rate equal to the rate of Interest in effect immediately prior to adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.4(b) plus (i) for the first 180 days during which such Registration Default Interest is applicable, 0.5% per annum, and (ii) thereafter, 1.0% per annum, from the date that is one year from the date of this Indenture until the date upon which such Exchange Offer closes or such Registration Statement becomes effective, as applicable, (or, if earlier, the Final Maturity Date); provided that if the Securities are freely tradable and a Registration Statement has been declared effective with respect to the shares of Common Stock, the Registration Default Interest shall cease to apply. Registration Default Interest shall be payable in the same form as PIK Interest and will accrue daily on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months in arrears.

Section 11.5 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 11.6 Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default.

Subject to Sections 11.9 and 13.2, the Holders holding a majority in aggregate principal balance of the then outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive any Default or Event of Default which has occurred together with any of its consequences and, in such event, the Holders and the Company will be restored to their respective former positions, rights and obligations hereunder. Any Default or Event of Default so waived will, for all purposes of this Agreement with respect to the Holders, be deemed to have been cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequence of such subsequent or other Default or Event of Default. This Section 11.6 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

Section 11.7 Control by Majority

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the Trustee, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. This Section 11.6 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

Section 11.8 Limitations on Suits

Subject to Section 11.7, a Holder of a Security may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the Holders of greater than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Securityholder.

Section 11.9 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the principal amount, Fundamental Change Purchase Price, Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price or interest (including Registration Default Interest) on any Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security and this Indenture, to convert such Security in accordance with Article 7 and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 11.10 Collection Suit by Trustee

If an Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest specified in the Security occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or another obligor on the Securities for the whole amount owing with respect to the Securities and the amounts provided for in Section 12.6.

Section 11.11 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

The Trustee may 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 (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 12.6, and to the extent that such payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or, on behalf of any Holder, to authorize, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 11.12 Priorities

Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 11, and after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture shall be paid out in the following order:

First, to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under Section 12.6;

Second, to Security holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for the principal amount, Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or interest (including Registration Default Interest, if any), as the case may be, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the Securities; and

Third, the balance, if any, to the Company.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 11.12. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

Section 11.13 Undertaking for Costs

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 11.13 does not apply to a suit made by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 11.3, or a suit by Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. This Section 11.13 shall be in lieu of Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

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

Section 12.4 May Hold Securities

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

Section 12.5 Moneys Held in Trust

Subject to the provisions of Section 11.5, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon.

Section 12.6 Compensation and Reimbursement

(a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company, and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it

harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.

(b) The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.1, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the SEC, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus, or being a member of a bank holding company with a combined capital and surplus, of at least 50

million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

(a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Securities by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

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

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 12.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by or pursuant to a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, or, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal

of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after such notification of removal by the Holders, the Trustee to be removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may, as it may deem proper prescribe or appoint a successor trustee.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 12.11.

(e) So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with respect to a Trustee appointed by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at that time outstanding pursuant to Subsection (c) of this Section, if the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) a resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein, and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 12.11, the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in Subsection (a) of this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed by the Company pursuant to Subsection (a) of this Section and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 12.11, all as of such date, and all other provisions of this Section and Section 12.11 shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this Subsection (e).

(f) At any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities.

Section 12.11 Acceptance of Appointment By Successor

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company.

Section 12.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 12.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 12.9, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 12.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company

The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent included therein.

Section 12.14 Notice of Defaults

If a Default occurs and is continuing hereunder and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the default within 45 days after the Trustee receives notice of such a Default. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest (including Registration Default Interest, if any) on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is not opposed to the interest of the holders of such Securities.

Aggregate Original Principal Amount: [Up to]⁵ US$[1,000,000,000]				Issuance Date: November 28, 2014

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Cheniere Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to [CEDE & CO.][ ] or registered assigns thereof (the “Holder”) (i) the amount set out above as the Original Principal Amount (as such amount may be (i) increased pursuant to the payment of any PIK Interest (as defined below), or (ii) reduced pursuant to any conversion effected in accordance with the terms hereof or otherwise, the balance of such amount from time to time being the “outstanding Principal balance”), [as revised by the Schedule of Exchanges of Interest in the Global Note attached hereto]⁶ when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration, or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). The Company further promises to pay interest on any outstanding Principal from time to time, in the manner and at the interest rates specified in Section 2 hereof. This Unsecured PIK Convertible Note Due 2021 (including all Unsecured PIK Convertible Notes Due 2021 issued (i) in payment of PIK Interest under Section 2(b) and (ii) in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof) (the “Note” and, where the context requires, collectively, the “Notes”), is issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of November 28, 2014, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, on the Issuance Date. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 24. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any provision of the Notes conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL.

(a) Provided there is no Default and the Holder has not elected either the Fundamental Change Option pursuant to Section 4 or the Dividend Recapitalization Option pursuant to Section 5, the entire unpaid Principal balance of the Note (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the last Interest Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date, and ending on the Maturity Date) will be due and payable on the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount representing the entire outstanding Principal balance of the Note (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest) in (i) cash or (ii) at the election of the Holder, shares of common stock, par value US$0.003 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(a). If the Holder delivers a written notice to the Company on or before the Maturity Date requesting that payment of the entire outstanding Principal balance of the Note (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest) be made in Common Stock, the Company shall convert the Conversion Amount (as defined below) due on the Maturity Date into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate (as defined below), subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(a). If the Holder makes an election as described in this Section 1(a), the Company shall be entitled to (i) deliver shares of Common Stock to the Holder, (ii) pay the Holder an amount in cash equal to the market price (or, if no such market price exists, the fair market value) (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) (as to any securities or other property, the “Fair Market Value”) of the Common Stock on the Maturity Date, or (iii) any combination thereof.

2. INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.

(a) During the term of this Note, Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance of the Note at an interest rate of 4.875% per annum, commencing on the Issuance Date, payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 30 and December 31, commencing December 31, 2014 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, which shall be the June 15 or December 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, in the form set forth in Section 2.2 of the Indenture and on the other terms herein and in the Indenture, except for the issuance date of One Dollar (US$1.00) and integral multiples thereof (“PIK Interest”), in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Interest that would be payable on this Note, if such Interest were paid in cash. Any such PIK Interest, as part of the outstanding Principal balance of the Note, shall accrue Interest at the interest rate set forth above.

(b) Subject to the terms of the Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date on which the Company pays interest in PIK Interest (a “PIK Payment”) by issuing certificated Securities, the Company shall (i) issue and deliver the additional Notes representing the amount of the PIK Interest to the Holder entitled to such payment of PIK Interest or, upon notice to the Holder, in lieu of delivering physical additional Notes, the Company shall make a record on its books of the additional Notes so issued without delivering physical Notes to the Holder. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, on any Interest Payment Date on which the Company makes a PIK Payment with respect to a Global Security, the Trustee shall increase the principal amount of such Global Security by an amount equal to the interest payable as PIK Interest, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar, for the relevant interest period on the principal amount of such Global Security as of the relevant record date for such Interest Payment Date, to the credit of the Holder on such record date and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee with respect to such Global Security to reflect such increase.

(c) Interest hereunder will be paid to the Holder or its assignee in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of Notes. All Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

3. CONVERSION OF NOTES. This Note shall be convertible by the Holder into shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 and the Indenture.

(a) Conversion Right. Provided that the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to the Conversion Price (as defined below) on the Conversion Date (as defined below), the Holder shall be entitled to convert, at the Holder’s sole option, any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the Holder elects to convert its Note into Common Stock as described in this Section 3(a), the Company shall be entitled to (i) deliver shares of Common Stock to the Holder, (ii) pay the Holder an amount in cash equal to the market value of the shares calculated using the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date, or (iii) any combination thereof. If the issuance of Common Stock on conversion would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional share in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Sale Price on the Conversion Date. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issuance of Common Stock to any Person other than the converting Holder or with respect to any income tax due by the Holder with respect to such Common Stock and the Company shall not be required to make any such issuance or delivery unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the then applicable Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding Principal balance of the Note to be converted, with respect to which this determination is being made, and (B) any accrued and unpaid Interest on the outstanding Principal balance of the Note as at the Conversion Date, if any.

(ii) “Conversion Price” initially means US$93.64, subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth herein.

(i) Optional Conversion. With effect only from the date that is one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Holder may convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”) by (A) transmitting by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if the Security is a Certificated Security surrendering this Note to a reputable common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable on or following such date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third (3^rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile a notice addressed to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) confirming (i) receipt of such Conversion Notice and (ii) the method by which the Company intends to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in accordance with the Indenture (in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to notify the Holder of its chosen conversion method under Section 7.6(a) of the Indenture). If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal balance of this Note (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest) is greater than the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable after, and no later than three (3) Trading Days following, receipt of this Note, in each case at its own expense, issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing the outstanding Principal balance of the Note not converted. For the avoidance of doubt, any accrued and unpaid Interest on the outstanding Principal balance of the Note not converted shall remain outstanding and payable at the next Interest Payment Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. In the event of a partial conversion of this Note pursuant hereto, the Conversion Amount converted shall be deducted from the aggregate amount of the outstanding Principal balance of the Note and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon for the purposes of calculating future Interest payments due on the Note pursuant to Section 2 following such partial conversion.

(ii) Delivery of Securities on Conversion. The right of conversion attaching to any Note may be exercised (i) if such Note is represented by a Global Note, by book-entry transfer to the Conversion Agent through the facilities of the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, or (ii) if the Note is represented by a Certificated Note, by physical delivery of the Certificated Note to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Indenture, and upon such exercise the Company shall, subject to the terms of the Indenture, (A) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, in each case by no later than the fourth Trading Day following the date of receipt of this Note (whether through book-entry transfer or physical delivery). To the extent that Exchange Shares are represented by certificates, such certificates shall be in such form or forms as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. Such certificate shall be issued in consecutive order and shall be numbered in the order of their issue, and shall be signed by the Chairman, the President or any Vice President and the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer. Any or all of the signatures on a certificate may be a facsimile. In the event any such officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to hold such office or to be employed by the Company before such certificate is issued, such certificate may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such officer had held such office on the date of issue.

4. OPTIONAL REPAYMENT UPON FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. If a Fundamental Change occurs, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a Fundamental Change Company Notice no less than ten (10) days prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date, (or as soon as practicable following the Company becoming aware of such Fundamental Change, if later). In the event a Fundamental Change does not occur on the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date, the Company may withdraw the Fundamental Change Company Notice issued with respect to such Fundamental Change. The Holder will have a one-time option to put all of the Note (if then outstanding) to the Company in exchange for (i) if the consideration received for the transaction or transactions is at least 10% cash (or non-capital stock), the payment in cash of an amount equal to one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the entire outstanding Principal balance of the Note and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon; or (ii) if more than 90% of the consideration received for the transaction or transactions is in the form of capital stock, the payment in cash of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the entire outstanding Principal balance of the Note and accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, in each case payable within five (5) business days following the Fundamental Change Effective Date (the “Fundamental Change Option”). If the Holder does not elect the Fundamental Change Option in connection with the Fundamental Change, the provisions of Section 6(h) shall apply.

5. OPTIONAL REPAYMENT UPON A DIVIDEND RECAPITALIZATION. In the event a Dividend Recapitalization shall occur at any time when any Notes remain outstanding, if the Ninety-Day VWAP falls below US$30.00 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in accordance with the Indenture), the Holder shall have a one-time option (the “Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Option”) to put all, but not part, of the Notes then owned by it to the Company in exchange for Cash in the amount of the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price, subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 6.1(c) of the Indenture. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Price shall be payable on a date (the “Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Date”) designated by the Company but in no case later than 10 Business Days following the end of the period over which the Ninety-Day VWAP is calculated. The Company shall notify the Holder in accordance with the terms of the Indenture if the Dividend Recapitalization Purchase Option is triggered.

6. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock of any class or series, other securities, cash or assets, Common Stock, rights or warrants referred to in Section 6(b) and other than pursuant to a Fundamental Change or a dividend or distribution payable exclusively in cash), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment less the then Fair Market Value of the portion of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets distributed per share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such payment. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock shares of any capital stock of, or other equity interest in, any subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin Off”) and, immediately after such distribution, such capital stock or other equity interest is registered under the Exchange Act and listed and publicly traded on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such distribution less (ii) the average of the Closing Prices of the amount of such capital stock or other equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock on such exchange during the first ten days of such public trading immediately following and including the effective date of the Spin Off and the denominator shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such distribution.

(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock payable exclusively in cash (other than pursuant to a Fundamental Change) in an aggregate amount that, when combined with the aggregate amount paid in respect of all other distributions to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock paid exclusively in cash within the twelve (12) months preceding the date fixed for the payment of such distribution to the extent such amount has not already been applied in a prior adjustment pursuant to this paragraph, exceeds nine percent (9%) of the product of the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment times the number of shares of Common Stock on which such distribution is paid (such excess being herein referred to as the “Excess Distribution Amount”), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for such payment shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Adjusted Current Market Price on the date fixed for such payment less the Per Share Excess Distribution Amount paid in such distribution and the denominator shall be such Adjusted Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such payment.

(f) In case the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall consummate a tender or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of expiration of such tender or exchange offer shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price on such date of expiration less the Per Share Premium Amount (as hereinafter defined) paid in such tender or exchange offer and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such date of expiration.

(g) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution referred to in Section 6(d) or 6(e), the Holder converting this Note (or any portion of the outstanding Principal balance of this

Note (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon)) subsequent to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such distribution shall also be entitled to receive, for each share of Common Stock into which this Note (or portion of the outstanding Principal balance of this Note (together with any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon) being converted), the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; provided, however, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors) with respect to all holders so converting, the Company may, in lieu of distributing to such holder any portion or all of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash and assets to which such holder is entitled as set forth above, (i) pay such holder an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value thereof or (ii) distribute to such holder a due bill therefor, provided that such due bill (A) meets any applicable requirements of the principal national securities exchange or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded and (B) requires payment or delivery of such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities, cash or assets no later than the date of payment thereof to holders of shares of Common Stock receiving such distribution.

(h) In the event of any reclassification of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or in the event of any Fundamental Change, and provided in the case of a Fundamental Change that the Holder does not elect the Fundamental Change Option pursuant to Section 4, each Note then outstanding shall, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, become convertible in accordance with this Agreement, only into the kind and amount of securities (of the Company or another issuer), cash and other property receivable upon such reclassification or Fundamental Change by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or Fundamental Change, after giving effect to any adjustment event. The provisions of this Section 6(h) and any equivalent thereof in any such securities similarly shall apply to successive reclassifications or Fundamental Changes. The provisions of this Section 6(h) and Section 4 shall be the sole rights of Holders of Notes in connection with any reclassification or Fundamental Change and such Holders shall have no separate vote thereon.

(i) The Company may not engage in any transaction if, as a result thereof, the Conversion Price would be reduced to below the par value per share of the Common Stock.

(j) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one tenth of one percent (0.1%) in the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6(j) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

7. DEFAULT. Subject to the terms of Section 8, the Holder may terminate all of the Holder’s obligations under the Note and the Subscription Agreement, accelerate each applicable Note and declare such Note to be due and payable if any of the following events of default (a “Default”) occur and have not been waived in writing by the Holder:

(a) Nonpayment of Principal. The Company fails to pay when due any amount of the outstanding Principal balance of the Note; or

(b) Nonpayment of Interest. The Company fails to pay any installment of Interest on the Note when due and payable; or

(c) Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty made to the Holder in the Subscription Agreement proves to be false or erroneous in any material respect when made; or

(e) Insolvency. Any admission by the Company that the Company is unable to pay its debts as such debts mature or an assignment for the benefit of the creditors of the Company; or

(f) Judgment. Entry by any court of a final judgment in an amount in excess of US$250,000,000.00 against the Company which is not discharged or stayed within ninety (90) days thereof; or

(g) Receivership. The appointment of a receiver or trustee for the Company; or

(h) Acceleration of Other Debt. The acceleration of the maturity of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company owing to any other Person in an amount in excess of US$250,000,000.00, provided however, if the documents evidencing the accelerated indebtedness do not provide for a cure period prior to acceleration and the Company causes the acceleration to be rescinded within sixty (60) days after the date of acceleration, then the event of Default under this Section 7 will be deemed to be cured as a result of such rescission of acceleration within such sixty (60) day period.

If the Company cures or causes to be cured such Default within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof, the parties will be restored to their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement as if no Default had occurred.

8. REMEDIES. On the occurrence of an event of Default which has not been timely cured as provided in Section 7:

(a) Acceleration of Note. With the approval of the Holders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding Principal balance of the then outstanding Notes, a Holder may, at such Holder’s option, declare all Notes of, and all sums due to the Holder pursuant to its Notes and/or the Subscription Agreement to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same will become forthwith due and payable and the Holder will be entitled to proceed to selectively and successively enforce the Holder’s rights under the Subscription Agreement or any other instruments delivered to the Holder in connection with the Subscription Agreement (including any Notes).

(b) Waiver of Default. The Holder shall, upon execution of an instrument or instruments in writing signed by Holders holding a majority of the aggregate outstanding Principal balance of the then outstanding Notes, waive any Default which has occurred together with any of the consequences of such Default and, in such event, the Holder and the Company will be restored to their respective former positions, rights and obligations hereunder. Any Default so waived will, for all purposes of this Agreement with respect to the Holder, be deemed to have been cured and not to be continuing, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequence of such subsequent or other Default.

(c) Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise and no delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right hereunder preclude any other or further right of exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not alternative.

9. DEFAULT INTEREST.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an event of Default which has not been timely cured during the sixty (60) day cure period as provided in Section 7, Interest shall accrue on the amount of the then outstanding Principal balance of the Note and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate of Interest in effect immediately prior to adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(a) plus 2% per annum (“Default Interest”) from the date on which such event of Default occurred up to the date on which that event of Default is remedied by the Company or waived by the Holder (or, if earlier, the Maturity Date) as well after as before judgment. Default Interest shall be payable in the same form as PIK Interest and will accrue daily on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months in arrears.

(b) If the Company fails to close the Registered Exchange Offer or to cause a Registration Statement to be effective by the date that is one (1) year from Closing, Interest shall accrue on the amount of the

then outstanding Principal balance of the Note and any accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (“Registration Default Interest”) at a rate equal to the rate of Interest in effect immediately prior to adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(b) plus (i) for the first 180 days during which such Registration Default Interest is applicable, 0.5% per annum, and (ii) thereafter, 1.0% per annum, from the date that is one (1) year from Closing until the date upon which such Registered Exchange Offer closes or such Registration Statement becomes effective, as applicable, (or, if earlier, the Maturity Date); provided that if the Notes are freely tradable and a Registration Statement has been declared effective with respect to the shares of Common Stock, the Registration Default Interest shall cease to apply. Registration Default Interest shall be payable in the same form as PIK Interest and will accrue daily on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months in arrears.

10. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding; provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be less than the number of shares required to be reserved by the previous sentence (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”).

11. VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by New York law and as expressly provided in this Note and the Indenture.

12. VOTE TO ISSUE, OR CHANGE THE TERMS OF, NOTES. The Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

13. TRANSFER AND RELATED PROVISIONS.

(b) The Company shall maintain and keep updated a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the outstanding Principal balance of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a satisfactory request to assign or sell all or part of any Registered Note by a Holder and the physical surrender of this Note to the Company, the Company shall record the information contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes, the aggregate outstanding Principal balance of which is the same as the entire outstanding Principal balance of the surrendered Registered Note, to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 14.

14. REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.

(a) Transfer. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal balance of the Note being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal balance of the Note held by the Holder is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal balance of the Note not being transferred. The Holder and any transferee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 13(b) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal balance represented by this Note may be less than the outstanding Principal balance stated on the face of this Note.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.

(c) Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section 14(d)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the remaining outstanding Principal balance (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 14(a) or Section 14(c), the outstanding Principal balance designated by the Holder which, when added to the aggregate outstanding Principal balance represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the remaining outstanding Principal balance under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Default Interest and Registration Default Interest on the outstanding Principal balance of this Note, if any, from the Issuance Date.

6.1.10

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

notify each Holder at any time when a prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, subject to Section 6.5, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus, so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of such shares, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(f)

cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and obtain all necessary approvals for trading thereon;

(g)

provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement;

(h)

upon the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, direct the transfer agent to remove all restrictive legends from all certificates or other instruments evidencing the Registrable Securities; and

(i)

to advise the Holder promptly after it has received notice or obtained knowledge of the existence of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, and to make every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time.

6.3.2

Notwithstanding anything stated or implied to the contrary in Section 6.3.1 above, the Company shall not be required to consent to any underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities or to any specific underwriter participating in any underwritten public offering of the Registrable Securities.

6.3.3

Each Purchaser agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6.3.1(e), and subject to Section 6.4, such Holder will forthwith discontinue such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.3.1(e) and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company at the Company’s expense all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

6.3.4

Except as required by law, all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section 6.3, including but not limited to, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel related to all blue sky matters) incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be borne by the Company. All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to a sale incurred in connection with any registration of Registrable Securities and the legal fees and other expenses of a Holder shall be borne by such Holder.

6.4

Right of Suspension.

6.4.1

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any related agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the right, at any time, to suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and offers and sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant thereto whenever, in the good faith judgment of the Company, (i) there exists a material development or a potential material development with respect to or involving the Company that the Company would be obligated to disclose in the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement, which disclosure, in the good faith judgment of the Company, after considering the advice of counsel, would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or (ii) the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances, not misleading, including without limitation that period annually during which any Registration Statement would require suspension pending the Company’s new fiscal year financial statements (each, a “Suspension Event”). In the event that the Company shall determine to so suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and offers and sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, the Company shall, in addition to performing those acts required to be performed under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act or deemed advisable by the Company, deliver to each Holder written notice thereof, signed by any officer of the Company. Upon receipt of such notice, the Holders shall discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and prospectus until such Holders (i) are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Registration Statement and prospectus (and offers and sales thereunder) may be resumed, (ii) have received copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, if applicable, and (iii) have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into such prospectus. The Company will exercise its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Registration Statement and prospectus may be resumed as quickly as practicable.

6.4.2

The Company’s right to suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the offers and sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant thereto, as described above in this Section 6.4 shall be for a period of time (the “Suspension Period”) beginning on the date of the occurrence of the Suspension Event and expiring on the date on which the Suspension Event ceases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be able to

suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and offers and sales of the Registrable Securities for any time period as may reasonably be required in order to update the Registration Statement to replace financial information which is no longer current, as required by applicable securities law. The Company will exercise its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Registration Statement and prospectus may be resumed as quickly as practicable.

6.5

Transfer of Securities. If a Purchaser transfers all or a part of the Note purchased by it pursuant to Section 8.2, the Company will effect such transfer of restricted certificates and, if applicable, will promptly amend or supplement the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement to add the transferee to the selling stockholders in the Registration Statement; provided that the transferor and transferee shall be required to provide the Company such information regarding themselves as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with any registration (or amendment or supplement thereto), referred to in this Agreement.

6.6

No Registration Statement. In the event that neither (i) an Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor (ii) a Registration Statement has become effective by the Exchange Offer Deadline, upon the request of any Holder that has held the Notes or the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof for at least one year since the issuance of the Notes, the Company shall take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of the legend described in Section 5.9 from such Notes or shares of Common Stock, as applicable, and the Company shall bear all costs associated therewith, regardless of whether the request is made in connection with a sale or otherwise, so long as such Holder provides to the Company any information the Company deems reasonably necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws in the opinion of counsel to the extent the Company reasonably determines such opinion is necessary, including (if there is no such registration statement) a certification that the holder is not an Affiliate of the Company and regarding the length of time the Notes or shares or Common Stock, as applicable, have been held. Assuming the Notes or Common Stock, as applicable, have been held for greater than one year since the issuance of the Notes and , whether held in certificated form or in book entry with the transfer agent, the Company agrees that upon request, it shall cooperate with the Purchasers to ensure that the Notes or the shares of Common Stock, as applicable, are moved to such Purchaser’s DTC brokerage account according to the instructions provided by such Purchaser.

7. Conditions to Closing. The obligations of each Purchaser to purchase and pay for the principal amount of Notes and of the Company to sell the Notes are subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the Closing of the following conditions precedent:

7.1

As to the obligations of each Purchaser, the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 4 hereof, and as to the obligations of the Company, the representations and warranties of the Purchasers contained in Section 5 hereof, shall be true and correct as of the Closing in all respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made as of the Closing.

7.2

Concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall have entered into an indenture (in a form agreed between the parties) (the “Indenture”) pursuant to which the Notes will be issued, and such Indenture shall be in full force and effect.

8. Miscellaneous.

8.1

Survival of Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of Closing provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for the willful breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

8.2

Assignment of Notes. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to transfer all or a part of its Notes purchased by it to one or more (i) affiliated partnerships, (ii) funds managed by such Purchaser , (or, in the case of Baytree, the Temasek Group) (iii) investment companies or special purpose vehicles, in each case wholly-owned by such Purchaser (or, in the case of Baytree, the Temasek Group), or (iv) any of the respective directors, officers or partners of an entity listed in (i), (ii), or (iii), subject to the prior written consent of the Company for the first twelve (12) months following the Closing and provided that any such transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement as if it were a Purchaser hereunder, provided that any such transfer shall be effected in full compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, the Securities Act and the rules of the SEC promulgated thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, following the date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing there shall be no restrictions on the transfer of all or part of the Notes by a Purchaser.

8.3

Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties.

8.4

Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude a Purchaser from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Purchaser, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Purchaser.

8.5
