ARTICLE 2
The Securities
Section 2.01 Designation, Amount and Issuance of Securities. The Securities shall be designated as the
“0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2031.” The Securities will initially be issued in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250,000,000. The Company may issue additional securities in accordance with Section 2.16. Upon the execution of
this Indenture, or from time to time thereafter, Securities may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Securities upon receipt of an Authentication Order,
without any further action by the Company hereunder.
Section 2.02 Form of the Securities. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be
borne by such Securities shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Securities attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this
Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
Any of the Securities may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be
conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the custodian for the Global Securities, the Depositary or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any
regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Securities may be listed or traded or designated for issuance or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to
indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Securities are subject.
So long as the Securities are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, subject to Section 2.09, all of the Securities will be represented by one or more Securities in
global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (“Global Securities”). The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Securities shall be effected
through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in Section 2.09, beneficial owners of a Global Security shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their
names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Security.
Any Global Securities shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed
thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect issuances, redemptions, repurchases, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement
of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the custodian for the Global Security, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner
and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Securities in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) of, and interest on, any Global
Securities shall be made to the Depositary in immediately available funds.
Section 2.03 Date and Denomination of Securities; Payment of Interest. The Securities shall be issuable in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of
Securities attached as Exhibit A hereto. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
The Person in whose name any Security is registered on the Register at the close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date.
Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s delivery of the full Conversion Settlement Amount upon conversion
shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not
including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of Securities into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest will be
deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion. Any Securities or portion thereof surrendered for conversion after the Regular Record Date for any interest payment but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be
accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the aggregate principal amount of Securities being converted; provided that no such payment need be made (1) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (2)
if a Redemption Notice specifies a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date, in respect of Securities converted after close of business on
such Regular Record Date and on or prior to the open of business on such Interest Payment Date, (3) for any conversions of Securities following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, or (4) to the extent of any overdue
interest, if overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Securities.
Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date will receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date, regardless of whether their
Securities are converted following such Regular Record Date.
The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Global Securities by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee, (ii) on any Securities in certificated form having a principal
amount of less than $2,000,000, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Register, and (iii) on any Securities in certificated form having a principal amount of $2,000,000 or more, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account within the United States at the election of the Holder of such Securities who has duly delivered notice of such election and applicable wire instructions to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to
the relevant Interest Payment Date. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest will be payable on such interest payment in respect of the delay.
Section 2.04 Execution and Authentication. One or more Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company
by manual, facsimile or electronic signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.
A Security shall not be valid until an authorized officer of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Securities. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which
shall be furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.
Section 2.05 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency
in the continental United States where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency in the continental United States where Securities may be
presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency in the continental United States where Securities may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”).
The Corporate Trust Office shall be considered as one such office or agency of the Company in the continental United States for each of the aforesaid purposes. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities (the “Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent, and the term “Registrar” includes
any co-registrars. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities, (ii) the custodian with respect to the Global Securities and (iii) Conversion Agent.
The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate
to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to
appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06. The Company may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.
The Company may remove any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent upon written notice to such Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent and to the Trustee; provided that
no such removal shall become effective until (1) acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as the case may be, and
delivered to the Trustee or (2) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (1) above. The Registrar, Paying Agent or
Conversion Agent may resign at any time upon written notice; provided that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with
Section 7.07.
Section 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each
due date of the principal (including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company is acting as Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) and interest when so becoming due. The
Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal (including any
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it
shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent.
Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.
Section 2.07 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable
the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each
Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.
Section 2.08 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Securities. The Company shall cause to be kept at
the Corporate Trust Office the Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Register shall be in written form or in
any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities to the Registrar or any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.08 and in Section 2.10, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive
legends as may be required by this Indenture.
Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
All Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made to any Holder for any registration of, transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Securities issued upon such exchange of Securities being different from the name of the
Holder of the old Securities surrendered for such exchange.
Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Registrar shall be required to exchange, issue or register a transfer of (a) any Securities or portions thereof surrendered for conversion pursuant to Article 10, (b) any
Securities or portions thereof surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) pursuant to Section 3.04 or (c) any Securities subject to an Optional Redemption in accordance with Section 3.01, except the unredeemed portion of any Securities being
redeemed in part.
Section 2.09 Global Securities. The following provisions shall apply to Global Securities:
(a) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered
to the Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian for the Global Securities therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Physical Securities
registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless the Depositary (x) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary has not been appointed by the Company within 90 calendar days. Any Global Securities exchanged
pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part.
(c) In addition, Physical Securities will be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in a Global Security upon request by or on behalf of the
Depositary in accordance with customary procedures following the request of a beneficial owner seeking to enforce its rights under the Securities or this Indenture upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
(d) Physical Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.09(c) shall be
issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Securities or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar; provided
that, pending completion of the exchange of a Global Security, the Trustee, acting as custodian for the Global Securities for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Securities, shall reduce the principal amount thereof by an amount
equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Physical Securities
issuable on such exchange to or upon the written order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.
(e) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.09(b) above or upon any request described in Section 2.09(c), the
Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a sufficient supply of Physical Securities in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.
(f) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on
whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be
treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Securities for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members
and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Securities.
(g) At such time as all interests in a Global Security have been repurchased, converted, cancelled or exchanged for Securities in certificated
form, such Global Security shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the custodian for the Global Security. At any time prior to such
cancellation, if any interest in a Global Security is repurchased, converted, cancelled or exchanged for Securities in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Security shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions
existing between the Depositary and the custodian for the Global Security, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Trustee or the custodian for the Global Security, at the direction of the Trustee,
to reflect such reduction.
Section 2.10 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) Every Security that bears or is required under this Section 2.10(a) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.10(a) (together with any
Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities and required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.10(b), collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer
set forth in this Section 2.10(a) (including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such
Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted
Security.
Until the date (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) that is the later of (1) the date that is one year after the last date of original issuance of the Securities or such
shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereto and (2) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law, any certificate evidencing such Security (and all securities issued in
exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.10(b), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such
Securities have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from
registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee):
THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON STOCK, IF ANY, ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”),
AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:
(1) REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE
144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(2) AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT
OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO, AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:
(A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR
(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION
FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY
BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
No transfer of any Security prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment has been checked.
Any Security (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Security for exchange to the
Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Article 2, be exchanged for a new Security or Securities, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.10(a) and shall not be
assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall be entitled to instruct the custodian for the Global Securities in writing to so surrender any Global Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with
their terms for exchange, and, upon such instruction, the custodian for the Global Securities shall so surrender such Global Security for exchange; and any new Global Security so exchanged therefor shall not bear the restrictive legend specified in
this Section 2.10(a) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and promptly after a registration statement, if any,
with respect to the Securities or any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in this Section 2.10(a)), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) 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 and (ii) for transfers of portions of a Global Security in
certificated form made upon request of a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures
of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section 2.10(a).
The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Security. Initially, each Global
Security shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.
Physical Securities issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Securities pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Securities to the Persons in whose names such Physical Securities are so
registered.
(b) Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Security, if
any, shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless the Security or such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to
be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Securities that
have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company with written notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for the Common Stock):
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:
(1) REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE
144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND
(2) AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT
OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO, AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:
(A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, OR
(B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(C) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
(D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION
FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY
BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in
accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section
2.10(b).
(c) Any Security or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Security that is repurchased or owned by any Affiliate of the Company
may not be resold by such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Security or Common Stock, as the case may
be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act). The Company shall cause any Security that is repurchased or owned by the Company to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with
Section 2.14.
Section 2.11 Responsibilities and Obligations of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or
obligation to any Agent Members or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in
the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the
Holders of Securities and all payments to be made to Holders of Securities under the Securities shall be given or made only to the registered Holders of Securities (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The
rights of beneficial owners in any Global Securities shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the customary procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the
Depositary with respect to its Agent Members.
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 Securities (including any transfers between or among Agent Members) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by,
the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
The Trustee (whether acting as Trustee or as any agent hereunder) shall not have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.
In connection with any proposed transfer outside the book entry system, the Company shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information within its
possession that is requested by the Trustee and necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Section 6045 of the Code. The Trustee may
rely on any such information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.
Section 2.12 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. In case any Security shall become mutilated
or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security, bearing a
registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security
shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with
such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
such Security and of the ownership thereof.
The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such
authenticating agent may require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any co-Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Security, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum
sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Security being different from the name of the Holder of the old Security that
became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 10 shall become mutilated or be
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a
mutilated Security), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or
Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.
Every substitute Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.12 by virtue of the fact that any Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Securities duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment, conversion, redemption or
repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment,
conversion, redemption or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.
Section 2.13 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of Securities in certificated form, the Company
may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities shall be issuable in any
authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Securities in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Security, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such
temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Securities in certificated form.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Securities in certificated form and thereupon any or all temporary Securities may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or
agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities in
certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same
limitations under this Indenture as Securities in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.14 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities
surrendered for redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures upon direction from the Company. The Company may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
Section 2.15 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN”
numbers (if then generally in use). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers.
Section 2.16 Additional Securities; Repurchases. The Company may, from time to time without the consent of
the Holders of outstanding Securities, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Securities in the future (“Additional Securities”) on the same terms and conditions in an unlimited aggregate principal amount,
except for any differences in the issue date, the issue price, interest accrued prior to the issue date and, if applicable, restrictions on transfer in respect of such Additional Securities; provided that if
the Additional Securities are not fungible with the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Securities shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers from the Securities. The Securities issued under this Indenture and any
Additional Securities shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. No Additional Securities may be issued if on the issue date therefor any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities.
Prior to the issuance of any such Additional Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Authentication Order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in
addition to those required by Section 11.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Securities are surrendered to the Company),
repurchase Securities in the open market or otherwise at any price, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or
other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Securities so repurchased (other than Securities repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.14.
ARTICLE 3
Redemption and Repurchase of Securities
Section 3.01 Optional Redemption of Securities. (a) The Securities shall not be redeemable by the Company
prior to September 6, 2028. On or after September 6, 2028, the Company may, at its option, redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any portion of the Securities (subject to the Partial Redemption
Limitation), at the Redemption Price, if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period
(including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 3.02.
(b) The Company may not redeem any Securities on any date if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such
Securities).
Section 3.02 Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Securities. In the case the Company exercises
its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written
request in an Officer’s Certificate received by the Trustee not less than 5 Business Days prior to the date such Redemption Notice is to be sent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at
the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a written notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not less than 45 nor more than 65 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the
Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and each Holder of Securities so to be redeemed as a whole or in part; provided however that, if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the
Redemption Date to the Trustee. The Redemption Date must be a Business Day. The Company may not specify a Redemption Date that falls on or after the 41st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
(a) The Redemption Notice, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any of the Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of any of the other Securities.
(b) Each Redemption Notice shall specify:
(1) the Redemption Date;
(2) the Redemption Price;
(3) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each of the Securities to be redeemed,
and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(4) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
(5) that Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Redemption Date;
(6) the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Securities and the settlement method;
(7) the Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with
Section 10.05;
(8) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Securities; and
(9) in any case a Security is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on
and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued, which principal amount must be $1,000 or a multiple thereof.
A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. An Optional Redemption may not be conditional.
(c) If fewer than all of the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed (in principal
amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate, in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures. If any Security selected for partial
redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Security submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption, subject, in the case of Securities
represented by a Global Security, to the Depositary’s applicable procedures. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Securities, at least $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities must be outstanding and not
subject to redemption as of, and after giving effect to, delivery of the relevant Redemption Notice (such requirement, the “Partial Redemption Limitation”).
Section 3.03 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If any Redemption Notice has been given in
respect of the Securities in accordance with Section 3.02, the Securities shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender
of the Securities at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Securities shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
(a) Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of
all of the Securities to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Securities to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Securities. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after
such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.
Section 3.04 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If there shall occur a
Fundamental Change at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then each Holder of Securities shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash, at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (as defined below), all
of such Holder’s Securities, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, on a date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company, that is not less than 20
calendar days nor more than 35 calendar days after the date of the Company Repurchase Notice related to such Fundamental Change at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being repurchased, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), subject to the satisfaction by the Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 3.04(c);
provided that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, then the interest payable on the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date shall be paid on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date to the Holders of record of the Securities on the applicable Regular Record Date instead of the Holders surrendering the Securities for repurchase on such date, and the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased.
(b) On or before the 15th calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to the Trustee and to all Holders of
record of the Securities on the date of the Fundamental Change at their addresses shown in the Register of the Registrar and to beneficial owners of the Securities to the extent required by applicable law, the Company Repurchase Notice as set forth
in Section 3.06 with respect to such Fundamental Change and the resulting repurchase right.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the repurchase rights of Holders of Securities or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Securities
pursuant to this Section 3.04.
(c) For Securities to be repurchased at the option of the Holder, the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, (i) a written notice to the Paying Agent of the exercise of such repurchase right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the
Securities duly completed (if the Securities are certificated) (or, if the Securities are evidenced by a Global Security, such Holder must comply with applicable Depositary procedures) together with (ii) such Securities duly endorsed for transfer (if
the Securities are certificated) or book-entry transfer of such Securities (if the Securities are evidenced by a Global Security). The delivery of such certificated Securities to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to payment by the Company to the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.04 only if the Securities so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description
thereof in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Securities for repurchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and
binding absent manifest error.
(d) The Company shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.04, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such
portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Security also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Security.
(e) The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of
withdrawal thereof.
Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.04 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of (x) the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and (y) the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Securities.
Section 3.05 [Reserved.]
Section 3.06 Company Repurchase Notice; Tender Offer Compliance. In connection with any repurchase of
Securities, the Company shall, on or before the 15th calendar day after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change, give written notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) setting forth information specified in this Section 3.06 (the “Company Repurchase Notice”). Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company will make the information contained in such notice available on its website or through another public medium as it may use at the
time.
The Company Repurchase Notice shall:
(1) state the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(2) state, if applicable, the circumstances constituting the Fundamental Change;
(3) state that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will be paid in cash;
(4) state that Holders must exercise their right to elect repurchase by the close of business on the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date;
(5) include a form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice;
(6) state the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(7) state that Securities must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(8) state that a Holder may withdraw its Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, by delivering a valid written notice of withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.07;
(9) state whether the Securities are then convertible, the then applicable Conversion Rate, including expected changes, if any,
in the Conversion Rate resulting from such Fundamental Change if such Fundamental Change also constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and expected changes in the cash, shares of Common Stock or other property deliverable upon conversion of the
Securities as a result of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change;
(10) that Securities as to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given may be converted only if the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(11) state the amount of interest accrued and unpaid per $1,000 principal amount of Securities to, but excluding, the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date; and
(12) state the CUSIP number of the Securities.
A Company Repurchase Notice may be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give such Company Repurchase Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the text of the Company Repurchase Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(b) The Company shall, to the extent required: (i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange
Act that may be applicable at the time of the repurchase of the Securities, (ii) file a Schedule TO or any other schedule required in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Securities and (iii) comply with all other applicable
federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Securities.
Section 3.07 Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice; Withdrawal. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent
of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (if the Securities are certificated) (or, if the Securities are evidenced by a Global Security, such Holder must comply with applicable Depositary procedures) specified in Section 3.04, the Holder of the
Securities in respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is validly withdrawn in accordance with the following paragraph) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities. Such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds and/or the Securities by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x)
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Securities (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 3.04) and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Securities
to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.04. The Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 10 hereof on or
after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn.
A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (if the Securities are certificated) (or, if the Securities are evidenced by a Global Security, such Holder must comply with applicable Depositary procedures) by
means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
(a) the certificate number, if any, of the Securities in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted if they are in certificated
form, or the appropriate Depositary information, in accordance with appropriate Depositary procedures, if the Securities in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted are evidenced by a Global Security,
(b) the principal amount of the Securities with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and
(c) the principal amount, if any, of such Securities that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which shall be
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
If a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is properly withdrawn, the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase the Securities listed in such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
Section 3.08 Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06, an amount of cash (in immediately available funds
if deposited on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
If by 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Paying Agent holds cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, and related accrued interest of the Securities that
Holders have elected to require the Company to repurchase in accordance with Section 3.04, then, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, such Securities will cease to be outstanding, and interest will cease to accrue (whether or not book entry
transfer or delivery of the Securities has been made to the Paying Agent) and all other rights of the Holders of such Securities will terminate, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, and any accrued interest upon
delivery or book-entry transfer of the Securities. This will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the Securities has been made or the Securities have been delivered to the Paying Agent.
Section 3.09 Securities Repurchased in Part. Upon presentation of any Securities repurchased only in part,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination, in aggregate principal amount equal to
the unrepurchased portion of the Securities presented.
ARTICLE 4

Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture in each such case, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on
such dates. Principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this
Indenture money sufficient to pay all such principal and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

continental United States where the Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or for conversion or repurchase and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities and this Indenture may be served. As of the date of this Indenture, such office is located at the Corporate Trust Office. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
such office or agency not designated or appointed by the Trustee. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.
The Company may also from time to time designate co-registrars and one or more offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
Section 4.03 Rule 144A Information Requirement and Annual Reports.
(a) At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Securities or any
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and shall, upon written request, provide to
any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Securities or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Securities the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to
facilitate the resale of such Securities or shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A. The Company shall take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such Securities or such Common Stock may reasonably request to the extent from
time to time required upon the advice of legal counsel to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Securities or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from time to time.
(b) The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of any documents or
reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act, which grace period, for the avoidance of doubt,
shall be deemed applicable whether or not the Company checks the box in the relevant Rule 12b-25 filing indicating that the Company expects to file such report within the applicable Rule 12b-25 grace period). Any such document or report that the
Company files with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.03(b) at the time such documents or reports are filed via the EDGAR system.
(c) Delivery of the reports and documents listed in subsection (b) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s
receipt of such reports and documents shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to
which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no responsibility or duty whatsoever to ascertain or determine whether any such filings with the Commission via the EDGAR system (or any
successor system) have occurred. The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, our compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the Commission or website
under this Indenture, or participate in any conference calls. Delivery of reports to the Trustee shall not constitute knowledge of, or notice to, the Trustee of the information contained therein.
(d) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance
of the Securities, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods
thereunder (including any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25, which grace period, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed applicable whether or not the Company checks the box in the relevant Rule 12b-25 filing indicating the Company expects to
file such report within the applicable Rule 12b-25 grace period) and other than reports on Form 8-K), or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates
during the three months preceding (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Securities. Such Additional Interest shall accrue on
the Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding for the first 90 days for which the failure has occurred and thereafter will accrue on the Securities at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal
amount of Securities outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders
that have been the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months preceding) and shall cease to accrue once such filing has been made or is otherwise cured and the Securities are otherwise freely tradable as described above. As used in
this Section 4.03(d), documents or reports that the Company is required to “file” with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act does not include documents or reports that the Company furnishes to the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(e) If, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the Securities specified in Section 2.10(a) has not been removed, the Securities are
assigned a restricted CUSIP or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates during the three months preceding (without restrictions pursuant to U.S.
securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities) as of the De-legending Deadline Date, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Securities at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding
for the first 90 days and thereafter at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding until the restrictive legend on the Securities has been removed in accordance with Section 2.10(a), the Securities are assigned
an unrestricted CUSIP and the Securities are freely tradable as described above by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months preceding); provided, however, that no Additional Interest shall accrue or be owed pursuant to this Section 4.03(e) until the fifteenth Business Day following written notification to the Company by the Trustee (at the direction of the Holders)
or any Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities requesting that the Company comply with its obligations described in this Section 4.03(e) (which notice may be given at any time after the 330th day after the last date of original issuance of the
Securities), it being understood and agreed that in no event shall Additional Interest accrue or be owed pursuant to this Section 4.03(e) for any period prior to the De-legending Deadline Date.
(f) Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the
Securities provided, that if Additional Interest begins to accrue after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the
Additional Interest that accrues during such period will be due on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding such corresponding Interest Payment Date, and no interest shall accrue in respect of such delay.
(g) The Additional Interest that is payable in accordance with Section 4.03(d) and Section 4.03(e) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of,
any Default Additional Interest that may be payable as a result of the Company’s election pursuant to Section 6.13.
(h) If the Company is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 4.03(d) or Section 4.03(e), the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Trust Officer receives at the
Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry or liability that no such Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall
promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 4.04 Existence. Subject to Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and rights (charter and statutory).
Section 4.05 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or
discharged, before the same may become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary, (ii) all claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien or charge upon the property of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary and (iii) all stamp taxes and other duties, if any, which may be
imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange, conversion or repurchase of any Securities or with respect to this Indenture; provided
that, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (A) if the failure to do so will not, in the aggregate, have a material
adverse impact on the Company, or (B) if the amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
Section 4.06 Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the
end of each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending June 27, 2026 of the Company an Officer’s Certificate stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, whether to such Officer’s knowledge the Company during such preceding
fiscal year has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled the covenants contained in this Indenture and whether or not any Default has occurred hereunder and is continuing, and, if the Company shall be in Default, the certificate shall describe the
Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company also shall comply with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA.
ARTICLE 5
Successor Company
Section 5.01 When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets. The Company shall not in a single transaction or a
series of related transactions consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property and assets to any Person, unless:
(a) either (i) the Company is the continuing corporation, or (ii) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if other than the Company) is a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and such corporation assumes, by a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the Company’s
obligations under the Securities and this Indenture;
(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(c) if as a result of such transaction the Securities become convertible into common stock or other securities issued by a third party, such third
party fully and unconditionally guarantees all obligations of the Company or such successor under the Securities and this Indenture; and
(d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel in accordance with Section 5.03.
Section 5.02 Successor to be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance,
transfer or lease in which the Company is not the continuing corporation and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and interest on all of the Securities, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or satisfied by the
Company, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a party hereto, and the Company shall be discharged from its obligations (except in the case of any such lease)
under the Securities and this Indenture. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue the Securities either in its own name or in the name of the Company.
Upon the order of such successor Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be
authenticated and delivered, any Securities that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and
delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer, upon compliance with this Article 5 the Person named as the “Company” in the first
paragraph of this Indenture or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 5 may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and such Person shall be discharged from its liabilities
as obligor and maker of the Securities and from its obligations under this Indenture.
Section 5.03 Opinion of Counsel to be Given to Trustee. Prior to execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article 5, the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption complies with the
provisions of this Article 5.
ARTICLE 6

(f) the Company fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Securities or this Indenture (other than those
referred to in (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after written notice of such failure is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding, in accordance with this Indenture;
(g) a failure to pay when due (whether at stated maturity or otherwise) by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, after the
expiration of any applicable grace period, of principal of or interest on indebtedness for borrowed money, where the amount of such unpaid principal and/or interest is in an aggregate amount in excess of $75 million (or its foreign currency
equivalent), or a default that results in the acceleration of maturity, of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company in an aggregate amount in excess of $75 million (or its foreign currency
equivalent), and such failure or default continues for 30 calendar days after written notice of such failure or default is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding;
(h) a final judgment for the payment in excess of $75 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) (excluding any amounts covered by insurance or
subject to a binding indemnity from a financially responsible third party with resources sufficient to pay such indemnity obligation when due) rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, which judgment is not discharged
or stayed within 60 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;
(i) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(i) commences a voluntary case;
(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;
(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or
(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating

property; or
(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company;
or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws, and, in each such case, the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.
The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian”
means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, promptly, but in any event, within 30 days upon becoming aware of any Default, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Default known to the party, its
status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
Section 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or
any Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if (i) the
Company has paid (or deposited with the Trustee) all overdue interest on all the Securities and the principal amount (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) of the Securities that has become due
otherwise than by such acceleration or declaration, as well as paid interest upon overdue interest to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful and paid to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and (ii) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if
applicable) or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the manner in which any Event of Default or Default can be cured, (a) a Default (and any Event of Default arising therefrom) consisting of a failure to send a notice in
accordance with the provisions herein will be cured and shall cease to continue upon the sending of such notice; (b) a Default (and any Event of Default arising therefrom) in making any payment on (or delivering any other consideration in respect of)
any Security will be cured and shall cease to continue upon the delivery of such payment (or other consideration); and (c) a Default in the Company’s obligations as set forth in Section 4.03(b) (and any Reporting Event of Default arising therefrom)
will be cured and shall cease to continue upon the filing of the relevant report(s) giving rise to such Default or Event of Default; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and in each case, (x) the cure of
any Event of Default shall not invalidate any acceleration of the Securities on account of such Event of Default that was properly effected in accordance with the terms herein prior to such time as such Event of Default was cured and (y) the cure of
any Reporting Event of Default shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay any Default Additional Interest that accrues prior to the time of such cure. In addition, if an Event of Default is cured or waived before any related notice of
acceleration is delivered, such Event of Default shall be deemed cured and the Securities shall not be subject to acceleration on account of such Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the immediately preceding two sentences shall
constitute a waiver of or in any way limit the Trustee’s or any Holder’s right to institute suit for any damages incurred as a result of an Event of Default under this Indenture even if such Event of Default is subsequently cured.
Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and the principal (including
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Securities has been declared due and payable as provided in Section 6.02 the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect
the payment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Redemption Price, if applicable) of or 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 Holder in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, waive any Default or Event of Default and its consequences and rescind any related acceleration, except with respect to (i)
failure by the Company to pay the principal of or interest on a Security when due, (ii) failure by the Company to convert any Securities into cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock as required under the terms of this Indenture, (iii) failure
by the Company to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in connection with a Holder’s exercising its Fundamental Change repurchase rights, or (iv) failure by the Company to comply with any of the
provisions under Section 9.02 that cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When an Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any
consequent right.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or
not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holder) or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall receive indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against all losses, costs, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such
action.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) or interest when due or in the case of the Company’s failure to convert the Securities as required under this Indenture, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to
this Indenture or the Securities unless:
(a) the Holder has given the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder or Holders offer, and provide, if requested, to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against
any losses, costs, liability and expense of the Trustee;
(d) the Trustee fails to comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and
(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to
ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holder).
Anything contained in this Indenture or the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder of any Securities, without the consent of either the Trustee or the Holder of any other Securities, on its own behalf and
for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce, its rights of conversion as provided herein.
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,
the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) and accrued interest on the Securities held by such Holder, or payment of the cash and, if
applicable, delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or Section
6.01(b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and
the amounts provided for in Section 7.06.
Section 6.09 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 and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable
regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason,
payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Securities may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in
liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it
shall pay out the money or property in the following order:
FIRST: to the Trustee (including as any agent) for amounts due under this Indenture;
SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) and
interest, ratably without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price, if applicable) and interest,
respectively; and
THIRD: to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. 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 amount to be paid.
Section 6.11 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 does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Securities on or after the due date expressed in such Securities or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Securities in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.
Section 6.12 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so)
shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 6.13 Alternative Remedy for Failure to Comply with Reporting Obligations. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article 6, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.03(b) (a “Reporting Event of Default”) shall consist
exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Default Additional Interest”) on the Securities at a rate equal to (x) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding for
each day during the 90-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurs and (y) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding for each
day during the 90-day period beginning on, and including, the 91st day on which such Event of Default is continuing. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Default Additional Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with this
Section 6.13, the Securities shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. The Default Additional Interest shall accrue on all outstanding Securities from and including the date on which the Reporting Event of Default first occurs
to, but not including, the 181st day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Reporting Event of Default shall have been cured or waived) and shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the
Securities. On such 181st day (or earlier, if the Reporting Event of Default relating to such failure is cured or waived prior to such 181st day) such Default Additional Interest shall cease to accrue and the Securities shall be subject to
acceleration as provided above if the Reporting Event of Default is continuing. In no event shall Default Additional Interest accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to this Indenture, regardless of the number of events or
circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay the Default Additional Interest. The provisions of this Section 6.13 shall not affect the rights of holders of Securities in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. If Default
Additional Interest is payable on the Securities, the Company shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee not less than five Business Days prior to the date such Default Additional Interest is payable setting forth the accrual period and
the amount of such Default Additional Interest in reasonable detail. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate or other notice received from the Company relating to Default Additional Interest to any Holder of Securities upon
request. Unless and until a Trust Officer receives at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry or liability that no such Default Additional Interest is payable. The Trustee shall not at
any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any Default Additional Interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of any taxes or the amount of any Default Additional
Interest are owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of any Default Additional Interest. If the Company has paid Default Additional Interest directly to the persons entitled to receive it, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

Trustee
Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee

correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Conversion Agent, Paying Agent, Registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like

document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.
Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. (a) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or be
required to act (including the sending of any notice), other than a payment default unless a Trust Officer shall have been advised in writing that a Default has occurred or receives written notice of such an event (and such notice references this
Indenture or the Securities) or has obtained actual knowledge of such an event. No duty imposed upon the Trustee in this Indenture shall be applicable with respect to any Default of which the Trustee is not deemed to have such notice.

notice of the default within 90 days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the
Redemption Price, if applicable) or interest on any Security or failure by the Company to convert the Securities as required by this Indenture, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding notice is
in the interests of the Holders.
Section 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such
compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, and hold it harmless, against any and all loss, claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) liability or expense (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred by or in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities or the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties and exercise of its rights hereunder, including the
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Company,
any Guarantor or any other Person, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon
obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the
indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided
that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and such parties in
connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct and negligence as finally adjudicated by a
court of competent jurisdiction.
