• Sale of New Securities For so long as the Focus Investor, together with its Affiliates, owns 10% or more of all of the outstanding Common Shares (counting for such purposes all Common Shares into or for which the securities of the Company owned by the Investor and its Affiliates are directly or indirectly convertible or exercisable) (before giving effect to any issuances triggering provisions of this Section) if, at any time after the date hereof and on or before the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, the Company makes any nonpublic offering or sale of any equity security (including Common Shares, preferred shares or restricted shares), or any securities, options or debt that is convertible or exchangeable into equity or that includes an equity component (such as an “equity kicker”) (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (i) any Common Shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any securities of the Company issued or agreed to be issued as of the date hereof; (ii) pursuant to the granting or exercise of employee share options or other share incentives pursuant to the Company’s share incentive plans approved by the Board of Directors or the issuance of shares pursuant to the Company’s employee share purchase plan approved by the Board of Directors or similar plan where shares are being issued or offered to a trust, other entity or otherwise, for the benefit of any employees, officers or directors of the Company, in each case in the ordinary course of providing incentive compensation; or (iii) issuances of shares or other securities as full or partial consideration for a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, license agreement or other similar nonfinancing transaction), then, to the extent not prohibited, not restricted, and not requiring any shareholders’ approval by any applicable law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any securities exchange or any securities exchange regulation, the Focus Investor shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company for the same price (net of any underwriting discounts or sales commissions) and on the same terms (except that, to the extent permitted by law and the Articles of Association, the Investor may elect to receive such securities in nonvoting form, convertible into voting securities in a widely dispersed or public offering) as such securities are proposed to be offered to others, up to the amount of New Securities in the aggregate required to enable it to maintain its interest in the Purchased Shares proportionate to the total number of Common Shares of the Company either outstanding or issued pursuant to currently exercisable rights of Common Share-equivalent interest in the Company immediately prior to any such issuance of New Securities; provided, that, except in the case of any transfer of Common Shares to an Affiliate of the Focus Investor, who will from that date forward assume jointly with the Focus Investor all obligations under the Transaction Documents, such right to acquire such securities is not transferable. The amount of New Securities that the Focus Investor shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (x) the total number or principal amount of such offered New Securities by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Purchased Shares held by the Focus Investor, and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such New Securities.

• Additional Notes; Repurchases The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, 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 Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08 and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon their repurchase.
