Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion (a) Subject to this Section 14.02, Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), upon conversion of any Note, the Issuer shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 14.02. (i) All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after November 15, 2025, and all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the Issuer’s issuance of a Redemption Notice with respect to the Notes and prior to the related Redemption Date, shall be settled using the same Settlement Method. (ii) Except for any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the Issuer’s issuance of a Redemption Notice with respect to the Notes but prior to the related Redemption Date and any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after November 15, 2025, the Issuer shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions with the same Conversion Date, but the Issuer shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates. (iii) If, in respect of any Conversion Date, the Issuer elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date, the Issuer shall deliver such Settlement Notice in writing to the Holders with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs (x) after the date of issuance of a Redemption Notice with respect to the Notes and prior to the related Redemption Date, in such Redemption Notice or (y) on or after November 15, 2025, no later than November 15, 2025). If the Issuer does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement with respect to such conversion and the Issuer shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be equal to $1,000. Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. If the Issuer delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be $1,000. (iv) The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows: (A) if the Issuer elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Issuer shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (and cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided herein); (B) if the Issuer elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Issuer shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and (C) if the Issuer elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Issuer shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period. (v) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Issuer promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination. (b) Subject to Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h) and any taxes payable as described in Section 14.02(d) or Section 14.02(e) (and therefore such Holder must allow for sufficient time to comply with the Depositary’s procedures if such Holder wishes to exercise its conversion rights) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent or by facsimile and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Issuer or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h) and any taxes payable as described in Section 14.02(d) or Section 14.02(e). The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Issuer of any conversion pursuant to this Article 14 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Issuer in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered. (c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. Except as set forth in Section 14.03(b) and Section 14.07(a), the Issuer shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Issuer elects Physical Settlement (provided that for any Notes converted after the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Issuer shall deliver the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the Maturity Date), or on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method. If any shares of Common Stock are due to converting Holders, the Issuer shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Issuer’s Conversion Obligation. (d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Issuer or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion. (e) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Issuer shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests any such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. (f) Except as provided in Section 14.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 14. (g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee. (h) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below, and the Issuer shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for any accrued and unpaid interest on any converted Notes. The Issuer’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note 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 Notes 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Issuer has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the date on which the corresponding interest payment is made; (3) if the Issuer has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the date on which the corresponding interest payment is made; or (4) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date shall receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or such Redemption Date, as applicable, regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Regular Record Date. (i) The Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion is registered shall be deemed to be the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement), as the case may be. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion as of the time immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date. (j) The Issuer shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Issuer has elected (or is deemed to have elected) Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.
Procedure upon Purchase The Company shall deposit cash (in respect of a cash purchase under Section 3.08(c) or for fractional interests, as applicable) or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as applicable, at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 3.11, sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase Price of all Securities to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.08. As soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled to receive Common Stock through the Paying Agent, a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of the Purchase Price and cash in lieu of any fractional interests. The person in whose name the certificate for Common Stock is registered shall be treated as a holder of record of shares of Common Stock on the Business Day following the Purchase Date. Subject to Section 3.08(d), no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the Common Stock the record date for which occurred on or prior to the Purchase Date.

Net Share Settlement If Net Share Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, Dealer will deliver to Counterparty, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option, a number of Shares (the “Net Share Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for each such Option, of (i) (a) the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day, divided by (b) the Relevant Price on such Valid Day, divided by (ii) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period; provided that in no event shall the Net Share Settlement Amount for any Option exceed a number of Shares equal to the Applicable Limit for such Option divided by the Applicable Limit Price on the Settlement Date for such Option. Dealer will pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional Shares to be delivered with respect to any Net Share Settlement Amount valued at the Relevant Price for the last Valid Day of the Settlement Averaging Period.
Settlement Upon Conversion (i) Pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 9, upon a conversion the Company shall have the right to deliver the Conversion Value, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, provided that the Company may only elect to deliver cash if its credit facilities in existence at that time permit such payment and assets are legally available to pay such amounts. Unless the Company has elected to call a Forced Conversion, it shall not be required to notify Holders of its method for settling its conversion obligation relating to the Conversion Value until the Series A Preferred Stock is submitted for conversion. (ii) If the Company receives a conversion notice from a Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, the following procedures shall apply: (a) During the Settlement Notice Period, the Company shall notify any Holders of Series A Preferred Stock exercising a conversion right, if the Company elects to settle any portion of its conversion obligation in whole or in part in cash. If the Company elects to settle the Conversion Value in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, it shall specify the percentage of the Conversion Value relating to the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion that will be paid in cash. Any portion of the Conversion Value which the Company does not elect to settle in cash shall be settled in shares of Common Stock (except that the Company shall pay cash in lieu of issuing any fractional shares). The Company shall treat all Holders converting on the same Trading Day in the same manner. The Company shall not, however, have any obligation to settle conversion obligations arising on different Trading Days in the same manner. For example, the Company may choose on one Trading Day to settle in shares of Common Stock only and choose on another Trading Day to settle in cash or a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash. (b) If the Company timely elects to pay cash for any portion of the Conversion Value, Holders may retract the conversion notice at any time during the Conversion Retraction Period; provided that no such retraction may be made (and a conversion notice shall be irrevocable) if the Company does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares). (c) Settlement amounts shall be computed as follows: 1) If the Company elects to satisfy a conversion solely in shares of Common Stock (other than with respect to fractional shares), it shall deliver to the Holder, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate. 2) If the Company elects to satisfy a conversion solely in cash, it shall deliver to the Holder, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Value. 3) If the Company elects to satisfy the conversion obligation in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, it shall deliver to the Holder, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock: (i) a cash amount (the “Cash Amount”) (excluding any cash paid for fractional shares) equal to the product of (a) the Conversion Value and (b) the percentage of the conversion obligation to be satisfied in cash; and (ii) a number of shares of common stock equal to the difference between: (a) the applicable Conversion Rate; minus (b) the number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Cash Amount divided by (y) the arithmetic average of the Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period.
Purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control (a) If a Change of Control shall occur at any time, then each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such Holder’s Notes in whole or in part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof), at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”), pursuant to the offer described in subsection (b) of this Section (the “Change of Control Offer”) and in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 3.2. (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall (i) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least once to the Dow Xxxxx News Service or similar business news service in the United States of America; and (ii) notify the Trustee thereof and give written notice (a “Change of Control Purchase Notice”) of such Change of Control to each Holder by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at its address appearing in the Security Register stating or including: (1) that a Change of Control has occurred, the date of such event, and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes at the Change of Control Purchase Price; (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control (including information with respect to the Company’s pro forma consolidated historical income, cash flow and capitalization after giving effect to such Change of Control); (3) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.2 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment at the Change of Control Purchase Price; (4) the Change of Control Purchase Date, which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements under the Exchange Act; (5) the Change of Control Purchase Price; (6) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the offices or agencies referred to in Section 4.2 of the Initial Indenture; (7) that Notes must be surrendered on or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date to the Paying Agent at the office of the Paying Agent or to an office or agency referred to in Section 4.2 of the Initial Indenture to collect payment; (8) that the Change of Control Purchase Price for any Note which has been properly tendered and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the Change of Control Offer Purchase Date; (9) the procedures for withdrawing a tender of Notes; (10) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; and (11) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date. (c) Upon receipt by the Company of the proper tender of Notes, the Holder of the Note in respect of which such proper tender was made shall (unless the tender of such Note is properly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect to such Note. Upon surrender of any such Note for purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Change of Control Purchase Price; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such on the relevant record dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section 2.
Exchange Procedure As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event, not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a Letter of Transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and properly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i) into the right to receive, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1(a). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.
Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Not later than 30 days following a Change of Control, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase all outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to the date of purchase.

Exchange Procedures As soon as possible after the Company Merger Effective Time (but, in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days following the Company Merger Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail (and to make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates that immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii): (i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), to the Exchange Agent, which Letter of Transmittal shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree upon, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, together with any amounts payable in respect of the Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 3.8 and dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.3(e). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent, together with such Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, plus any Fractional Share Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.8 and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.3(e) to be mailed or delivered by wire transfer, as soon as reasonably practicable following the later to occur of (A) the Company Merger Effective Time or (B) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), and such Certificate so surrendered shall be forthwith canceled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each Certificate shall be deemed, at any time after the Company Merger Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article III. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof).
