(e) If a Holder submits a Note for exchange, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon exchange, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax.

As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant Exchange Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are exchanged after the close of business on a Regular Record Date but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the exchange. However, Notes surrendered for exchange 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 exchanged on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the exchanging Holder was the Holder of record on the corresponding Regular Record Date); provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for exchanges following the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company 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 corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has selected a Mandatory Exchange Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of exchange with respect to such Note.

(i) The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exchange shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Exchange Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last trading day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). Upon an exchange of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for exchange, subject to Section 14.13. Prior to exchange of a Holder’s Note, such Holder (in such capacity) shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company. (j) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon exchange based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Exchange Date.

However, Notes surrendered for exchange 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 exchanged on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the exchanging Holder was the Holder of record on the corresponding Regular Record Date); provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for exchanges following the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company 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 corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has selected a Mandatory Exchange Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of exchange 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 and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date described in clause (2) above shall receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been exchanged and/or repurchased, as applicable, following such Regular Record Date.
(i) The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exchange shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Exchange Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last trading day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). Upon an exchange of NotesNotes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for exchange, subject solely as permitted pursuant to Section 14.13. Prior 14.02(b) hereof, accrued and unpaid interest shall be deemed to exchange of a Holder’s Note, such Holder (in such capacity) shall not have any rights as a stockholder be paid first out of the Companycash paid upon such exchange.
(j) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon exchange based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Exchange Date.

(i) All exchanges of Called Notes for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the related Redemption Period, and all exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after February 15, 2028, shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.
(ii) Except for any exchanges of Called Notes for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the related Redemption Period, and any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after February 15, 2028, and except to the extent the Company is required to elect Physical Settlement pursuant to the first proviso in Section 14.01(b)(ii), the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all exchanges with the same Exchange Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to exchanges with different Exchange Dates.
(iii) If, in respect of any Exchange Date (or any exchanges of Called Notes for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the related Redemption Period, or any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after February 15, 2028 or for which the Company is required to elect Physical Settlement pursuant to the first proviso in Section 14.01(b)(ii) in a notice as described in such Section), the Company elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Exchange Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company shall deliver such Settlement Notice to exchanging Holders, the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Calculation Agent no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date (or, in the case of (A) any exchanges of Called Notes for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the related Redemption Period, in the related Notice of Redemption, (B) any exchanges of Notes for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs on or after February 15, 2028, no later than February 15, 2028 or (C) any exchanges for which the Company is required to elect Physical Settlement pursuant to the first proviso in Section 14.01(b)(ii), in a notice as described in such Section).

By notice to Holders, the Trustee, the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Calculation Agent, the Company may, from time to time prior to February 15, 2028, change the Default Settlement Method.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, as of the date on which the Company makes (or are deemed to have made) an election of Settlement Method with respect to any exchange of Notes the Share Delivery Conditions are not satisfied, the Company shall be deemed to have elected Cash Settlement in respect of such exchange of Notes (and the Company shall not be permitted to elect Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement) and Cash Settlement shall apply to such exchange of the Notes. If the Share Delivery Conditions are not met at the time of any required election of Settlement Method, unless the Default Settlement Method at such time is Cash Settlement, prior to the deadline for election of a Settlement Method as set forth in the second immediately preceding paragraph, the Company shall inform the exchanging Holders, the Trustee, the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Calculation Agent that Cash Settlement shall apply to the relevant exchange. If the Company changes the Default Settlement Method pursuant to the second immediately preceding paragraph, then, concurrently with providing notice to Holders, the Trustee, the Exchange Agent (if not the Trustee), the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Calculation Agent of such change, the Company shall either post the Default Settlement Method on its website or disclose the same in a current report on Form 8-K (or any successor form) that is filed with the Commission.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantor may choose for Notes exchanged on one Exchange Date to settle exchanges in Physical Settlement, and choose for Notes exchanged on another Exchange Date Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement.
(iii) If, in respect of any Exchange Date (or the period described in the third immediately succeeding set of parentheses, as the case may be), the Guarantor elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Exchange Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Guarantor, through the Trustee, shall deliver such Settlement Notice to exchanging Holders no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date (or, in the case of any exchanges for which the relevant Exchange 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 July 31, 2023, no later than July 30, 2023). If the Guarantor does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the first sentence of this clause (iii), the Guarantor shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its Exchange 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 Guarantor delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Exchange Obligation but does not indicate prior to the deadline set forth in the first sentence of this clause (iii) 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 exchange of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:
(A) if the Guarantor elects to satisfy its Exchange Obligation in respect of such exchange by Physical Settlement, the Guarantor shall deliver to the exchanging Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Exchange Date Date;
(plus cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon exchange). The Company shall use the Physical Settlement Method for all exchanges other than a Mandatory Exchanges pursuant to Section 14.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, B) if the Company Guarantor elects to settle Additional Shares due under Section 14.14 satisfy its Exchange Obligation in cashrespect of such exchange by Cash Settlement, it the Guarantor shall pay to the exchanging Holder an amount in respect of cash per each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged cash in an amount equal to the product of (x) the applicable number of Additional Shares and (y) the arithmetic average sum of the Daily VWAPs Exchange Values for each of the ten (10) 40 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding during the related Observation Period; and
(C) if the Guarantor elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Exchange Obligation in respect of such exchange by Combination Settlement, the Guarantor shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being exchanged, 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 Exchange Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Guarantor promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Exchange Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Guarantor shall notify the Trustee and the Exchange DateAgent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Exchange 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 Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.
(b) Subject to Section 14.02(e15.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to exchange a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the Applicable Procedures procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to the interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.02(h) and, if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, pursuant to Section 14.02(e15.02(h) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Exchange Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Exchange (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Exchange”) at the office of the Exchange Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be exchanged 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 Exchange Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Exchange Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, 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 (5) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, pursuant to Section 14.02(e15.02(h).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that an indirect holder of a Global Note held indirectly through a participant submits irrevocable instructions to exchange any portion of such Note, such Holder shall be deemed for purposes of Regulation SHO to have exchanged the applicable portion of such Note at the time of delivery of such instructions, regardless of when shares of Common Stock are delivered to such Holder or its participant16.03. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the Exchange 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 exchanged immediately prior to at the close of business on the date (the “Exchange Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (iib) above. Except as set forth in Section 14.07(a15.03(b) and Section 14.14(b15.07(a), the Company Guarantor shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Exchange Obligation on the second (2nd) third Business Day immediately following the relevant Exchange Date, in if the case of Guarantor elects Physical Settlement, or on the second (2nd) third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, in the case of Cash any other Settlement or Combination Settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Company’s satisfaction of its Exchange Obligation through Physical Settlement for which the relevant Exchange Date occurs after the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the settlement shall occur on the Maturity DateMethod. If any shares of Common Stock are due to an exchanging Holder, the Company Guarantor shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver (if applicable) to the Exchange Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled, in certificate form or in book-entry format through the Depositary or on the Transfer Agent’s books if the shares of Common Stock are not then held through the facilities of DTCformat, in satisfaction of the CompanyGuarantor’s Exchange Obligation.
(d) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial exchange, the Company 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 unexchanged portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the exchanging Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp, stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax 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 exchange being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.
(e) If a Holder submits a Note for exchange, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon exchange, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Exchange 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 exchange of any Note as provided in this Article 14.
(g) Upon the exchange 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 Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any exchange of Notes effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee.
(h) Upon exchange, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of the full Exchange 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 excluding, the relevant Exchange Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant Exchange Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are exchanged after the close of business on a Regular Record Date but prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the exchange. However, Notes surrendered for exchange 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 exchanged on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the exchanging Holder was the Holder of record on the corresponding Regular Record Date); provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for exchanges following the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company 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 corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has selected a Mandatory Exchange Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of exchange 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 and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date described in clause (2) above shall receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been exchanged and/or repurchased, as applicable, following such Regular Record Date.
(i) The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exchange shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Exchange Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last trading day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). Upon an exchange of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for exchange, subject to Section 14.13. Prior to exchange of a Holder’s Note, such Holder (in such capacity) shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company.
(j) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon exchange based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Exchange Date.
