(d) Each Installment Payment for any Installment Payment Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Installment Payment on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(a) The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note if the Holder thereof has exercised his, her or its right, if any, to require the Company to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased.

(b) For purposes of any Note that constitutes part of a Unit, Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture (as modified by this Supplemental Indenture) shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Contract Agreement.

(i) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or ceases to be a Clearing Agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary registered as a Clearing Agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by the Company within 90 days; or

(ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and a Beneficial Holder requests that its Notes be issued in physical, certificated form,

then, in each case the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Certificated Notes, shall authenticate and deliver Certificated Notes representing an aggregate principal amount of Notes with respect to the Global Note or Notes representing such Notes (or representing an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of Notes in respect of which such Beneficial Holder has requested the issuance of Certificated Notes pursuant to clause (ii) above) in exchange for such Global Note or Notes (or portion thereof).

Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

A default as described in Section 5.01(4) will not be deemed an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes notify the Company in writing and the Trustee, of the default and the Company does not cure the default within 90 calendar days after receipt of such notice. The notice must reference the Company, as issuer, the Units and this Indenture and specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” If such a default is cured within such time period, it ceases.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes at the time Outstanding (other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(5) or Section 5.01(6)) occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), declare all Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, all future, scheduled Installment Payments on the Notes will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(5) or Section 5.01(6) occurs and is continuing, such amount will automatically become due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(A) all overdue Installment Payments on all Notes,

(B) the Repurchase Price on any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue Repurchase Price and Installment Payments at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Notes, other than the non-payment of the Repurchase Price of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

(1) default is made in the payment of any Installment Payments on any Note when such Installment Payment becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the Repurchase Price of any Note at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for the Repurchase Price and Installment Payments and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue Repurchase Price or Installment Payments, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such 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 counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

Section 5.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 5.06 Application of Money Collected.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of Repurchase Price or any Installment Payment, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for Repurchase Price and Installment Payments on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for Repurchase Price and Installment Payments; and

THIRD: To the Company.

Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes;

(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

Section 5.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Repurchase Price and Installment Payments.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the Repurchase Price and Installment Payments (subject to Section 3.07) on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 5.12 Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes, provided that

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

(3) subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder with respect to such Notes and its consequences, except a default

(1) in the payment of the Repurchase Price or any Installment Payment on any Note, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.14 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holders of the Notes, or group of Holders of the Notes, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of the Outstanding Notes for the enforcement of the payment of the Installment Payments on any Outstanding Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Outstanding Notes, and provided, further, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

Section 5.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension 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 covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.16 Sole Remedy for a Failure to Report.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for any Event of Default (a “Reporting Event of Default”) pursuant to Section 5.01(4) arising from the Company’s failure to comply with Section 10.06 will, for each of the first 180 days on which a Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consist exclusively of the right to receive Special Interest. If the Company has made such an election, then (i) the Notes will be subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 5.02 on account of the relevant Reporting Event of Default from, and including, the 181st day on which a Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Company fails to pay any accrued and unpaid Special Interest when due; and (ii) Special Interest will cease to accrue on any Notes from, and including, such 181st day.

Any Special Interest that accrues on a Note will be payable on the same dates and in the same manner as Installment Payments on such Note and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of the principal amount thereof for the first 90 days on which Special Interest accrues and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% of the principal amount thereof.

To make the election set forth in this Section 5.16, the Company must send to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, before the date on which each Reporting Event of Default first occurs, a notice that (i) briefly describes the report(s) that the Company failed to file with the Commission; (ii) states that the Company is electing that the sole remedy for such Reporting Event of Default consist of the accrual of Special Interest; and (iii) briefly describes the periods during which and rate at which Special Interest will accrue and the circumstances under which the Notes will be subject to acceleration on account of such Reporting Event of Default.

If Special Interest accrues on any Note, then, no later than five Business Days before each date on which such Special Interest is to be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company is obligated to pay Special Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and (ii) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable on such date of payment. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Special Interest is payable or the amount thereof.

No election pursuant to this Section 5.16 with respect to a Reporting Event of Default will affect the rights of any Holder with respect to any other Event of Default, including with respect to any other Reporting Event of Default.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for the Notes other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust hereunder by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent.

For purposes of this Section, documents filed by the Company with the Commission via XXXXX system will be deemed to be filed with the Trustee as of the time such documents are filed via XXXXX, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine if such filing has occurred.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information or 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 under the Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).”

Section 14.02 Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 14.01 to have this Section 14.02 applied to the Outstanding Notes, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Notes as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture insofar as the Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal and interest on such Notes when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, (3) the rights, protections, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article XIV. Subject to compliance with this Article XIV, the Company may exercise its option provided in Section 14.01 to have this Section 14.02 applied to the Outstanding Notes notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option provided in Section 14.01 to have Section 14.03 applied to the Outstanding Notes. Following a Defeasance, payment of such Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

Section 14.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 14.01 to have this Section 14.03 applied to the Outstanding Notes, (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenants provided pursuant to Section 3.01(16) or Section 9.01(2) with respect to the Notes and Section 8.01, as applicable, and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.01(4) (with respect to Section 8.01, any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 3.01(16) or Section 9.01(2)), shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Notes as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any covenants added for the benefit of the Notes pursuant to any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.01(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 14.04 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 to the Outstanding Notes:

(1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of Outstanding Notes, U.S. Dollars in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and interest on the Notes on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes.

(2) In the case of an election under Section 14.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date first set forth hereinabove, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to the Notes and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

(3) In the case of an election under Section 14.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to the Notes and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

(4) No Event of Default or event that (after notice or lapse of time or both) would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit.

(5) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Notes are in default within the meaning of such Act).

(6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

(7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 14.05 Deposited Money to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 10.03, all money (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 14.06, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of the Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal or interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Anything in this Article XIV to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money held by it as provided in Section 14.04 with respect to Notes that, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes.

Section 14.06 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article XIV with respect to the Notes by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XIV with respect to Notes until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 14.05 with respect to Notes in accordance with this Article XIV; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of Notes to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.”

The Company shall not be required to repurchase a portion of a Note. Holders shall not have the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such Holders’ Notes in connection with any Early Settlement (as such term is defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) of such Holders’ Purchase Contracts at the Holders’ option pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement.

Section 11.02. Early Mandatory Settlement Notice.

Section 11.03. Procedures for Exercise.

(a) To exercise the Repurchase Right, a Holder must deliver, on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, the Notes to be repurchased (or the Units that include the Notes to be repurchased, if (x) the Early Mandatory Settlement Date occurs on or after the Repurchase Date and (y) the relevant Notes have not been separated from the Units), together with a duly completed written Repurchase Notice, in each case, subject to and in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary, unless the Notes are not in the form of a Global Note (or the Units are not in the form of Global Units, as the case may be), in which case such Holder must deliver the Notes to be repurchased (or the Units that include the Notes to be repurchased, if (i) the Early Mandatory Settlement Date occurs on or after the Repurchase Date and (ii) the Notes have not been separated from the Units), duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, together, in either case, with a Repurchase Notice, to the Paying Agent.

(b) The Repurchase Notice must state the following:

(iii) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Article 11.

(c) In the event that the Company exercises its Early Mandatory Settlement Right with respect to Purchase Contracts that are a component of Units and the Early Mandatory Settlement Date occurs prior to the Repurchase Date, upon such Early Mandatory Settlement Date, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate on behalf of the holder of the Units and deliver to such holder, at the expense of the Company, Separate Notes in the same form and in the same number as the Notes comprising part of the Units.

Section 11.04. Withdrawal of Repurchase Notice.

(a) A Holder may, subject to and in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depositary, in the case of a Global Note or Global Unit, withdraw any Repurchase Notice (in whole or in part) by a written, irrevocable notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent, with a copy to the Trustee and the Company, on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

(b) The notice of withdrawal must state the following:

(ii) the number of the withdrawn Notes; and

(iii) the number of Notes, if any, that remain subject to the Repurchase Notice.

Section 11.05. Effect of Repurchase.

To effectuate such repurchase, the Company shall deposit immediately available funds with the Paying Agent, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Repurchase Date, in an amount or amounts sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price with respect to those Notes for which the Repurchase Right has been exercised. A Holder electing to exercise the Repurchase Right shall receive payment of the Repurchase Price on the later of (i) the Repurchase Date and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of the Notes (or Units, as applicable).

(b) If the Paying Agent holds money on the Repurchase Date sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price with respect to those Notes for which the Repurchase Right has been exercised, then (i) such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest shall cease to accrue thereon (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes or Units, as applicable, is made or whether or not the Notes or Units, as applicable, are delivered as required herein), and (ii) all other rights of the Holder shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price and, if the Repurchase Date falls between a Regular Record Date and the corresponding Installment Payment Date, the related Installment Payment).

(c) In connection with any repurchase offer pursuant to this Article 11, the Company shall, if required, comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Notes may be repurchased at the option of Holders if the principal amount thereof has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company of the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).

The terms of other series of Securities issued under the Base Indenture may vary with respect to interest rates, issue dates, maturity, redemption, repayment, currency of payment and otherwise as provided in the Base Indenture. The Base Indenture further provides that securities of a single series may be issued at various times, with different maturity dates and may bear interest at different rates. This series of Securities is limited in aggregate initial principal amount as specified in the First Supplemental Indenture.

Each Installment Payment shall constitute a payment of interest (at a rate of 10.00% per annum) and a partial repayment of principal on the Notes, allocated with respect to each Note as set forth in the schedule below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Installment Payment to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Installment Payment, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Installment Payment proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Installment Payment or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Installment Payment as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Installment Payment which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Installment Payment and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Notes at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Installment Payment and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Installment Payment shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

The Notes shall not be subject to redemption at the option of the Company. However, a Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of its Notes for cash at the Repurchase Price per Note and on the Repurchase Date, upon the occurrence of certain events and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture.

This Note is not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge, legal defeasance and covenant defeasance of this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the Repurchase Price and all Installment Payments on this Note, to be due and payable immediately, in the manner, subject to the conditions and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures for certain purposes as described therein.

No provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Repurchase Price, if applicable, of and all Installment Payments on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

The Notes are originally being issued as part of the 6.75% Tangible Equity Units (the “Units”) issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Purchase Contract Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2024, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Purchase Contract Agent, as Trustee and as attorney-in-fact for the holders of Equity-Linked Securities (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) from time to time (the “Purchase Contract Agreement”). Holders of the Units

A-6

have the right to separate such Units into their constituent parts, consisting of Separate Purchase Contracts (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) and Separate Notes, during the times, and under the circumstances, described in the Purchase Contract Agreement. Following separation of any Unit into its constituent Separate Note and Separate Purchase Contract, the Separate Notes are transferable independently from the Separate Purchase Contracts. In addition, Separate Notes can be recombined with Separate Purchase Contracts to recreate Units, as provided for in the Purchase Contract Agreement. Reference is hereby made to the Purchase Contract Agreement for a more complete description of the terms thereof applicable to the Units.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note shall be registered on the Security Register of the Company, upon due presentation of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations and for a like aggregate principal amount.

The Notes are initially issued in registered, global form without coupons in denominations equal to $8.6618 initial principal amount and integral multiples in excess thereof.

The Company or Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of this Note. No service charge shall be made for any such transfer or for any exchange of this Note as contemplated by the Indenture.

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered upon the Security Register for the Notes as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, interest on this Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This Note and the Indenture and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of any Installment Payment on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future of the Company or of any predecessor or successor, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment of penalty or otherwise; and all such personal liability is expressly released and waived as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the issuance of this Note.

The Company and each Holder of Notes and beneficial owner of Notes agrees, for United States federal income tax purposes, to treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Company.

A-7

In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Note and the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture shall prevail.
