Upon a mandatory conversion of the notes, noteholders will be entitled to receive a “coupon make-whole” payable in additional shares of common stock and equal to the dollar amount of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the notes to be converted had such notes remained outstanding from the conversion date until maturity.

Noteholders may require the Issuer to repurchase all or a portion of their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
