the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation to a jurisdiction in the United States or Canada that results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding Class A Shares solely into shares of the resulting or surviving entity shall be
a Fundamental Change pursuant to this clause (b); or

provided, however, that a transaction or transactions described in clause (a) or (b) above shall not constitute a Fundamental Change if at least 90% of the consideration received or to be received by
Holders of Class A Shares, excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights, in connection with such transaction or transactions consists of American depositary receipts, ordinary
shares, subordinate voting shares or other common equity interests that are listed or quoted on any of the NYSE, The Nasdaq Global Select Market, The Nasdaq Global Market or the TSX (or any of their respective successors) or will be so listed or

securities exchange on which the Class A Shares (or other such security) are traded. If the Class A Shares (or such other security) are not listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange on the relevant date, the “Last

shares (or, if applicable, American depositary receipts, ordinary shares or other common equity interests), cash and/or a type of consideration of the kind described in clause (i), the “Last Reported Sale Price” shall be equal to the sum

ARTICLE II
ISSUE, DESCRIPTION, EXECUTION, REGISTRATION AND EXCHANGE OF NOTES.
Section 2.01 Scope of Supplemental Indenture. This Supplemental Indenture amends and supplements the provisions of the Base Indenture, to which provisions
reference is hereby made. The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and shall only govern the terms of, the Notes, which may be issued from
time to time in accordance herewith, and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes,
modifications and supplements. For all purposes under the Base Indenture, the Notes shall constitute a single series of Securities, and with regard to any matter requiring the consent under the Base Indenture of holders of multiple series of
Securities voting together as a single class, the consent of Holders of the Notes voting as a separate class shall also be required and the same threshold shall apply. The provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall supersede, with respect to
the Notes, any conflicting provisions in the Base Indenture.
Section 2.02 Designation and Amount. The Notes are hereby created and authorized as a single series of Securities under the Base Indenture. The Notes shall be
designated as the “0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025.” The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is initially limited to $920,000,000, subject to Section 2.09 and except for Notes
authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of other Notes pursuant to Section 10.05, Section 14.02 or Section 15.04 hereof or Section 3.4, Section 3.5 or Section 3.6 of the Base Indenture.
Section 2.03 Form of Notes. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the respective forms
set forth in Exhibit A, the terms and provisions of which shall constitute, and are hereby expressly incorporated in and made a part of the Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Company, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, by their execution and
delivery of the Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture as may be required by the Custodian or the
Depositary, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or traded or designated
for issuance or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.
14
Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends or endorsements as the Officer executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence
of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, or to conform to usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.
Each Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the Outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes from time to
time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect purchases, cancellations, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any
endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon
instructions given in accordance with the Indenture. Payment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, a Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date
of payment, unless a record date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.
Section 2.04 Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest and Defaulted Amounts.
(a) The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and
shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of such Note. Accrued interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of actual days elapsed
over a 30-day month. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest or fee under the Notes or the Indenture is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year,
such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is
payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under the Notes or the Indenture. The rates of
interest stipulated in the Notes and the Indenture are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. Sections 3.2 and 3.11 of the Base Indenture shall, with respect to the Notes, be superseded in its entirety by this Section 2.04(a), and any reference in the Base Indenture to
such paragraph of Sections 3.2 and 3.11 shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to refer instead to this Section 2.04(a).
15
(b) The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Security Register at the close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be
entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. Principal on any Physical Note shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the continental United States of
America, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office. Principal on any Global Note shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Company shall pay, or cause the Paying
Agent to pay, interest (i) on any Physical Notes (A) to Holders having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of these Notes at their address as it appears in the Security Register and (B) to Holders
having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000, either by check mailed to each Holder or, upon application by such a Holder to the Security Registrar not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Security Registrar to the contrary or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The first three paragraphs of Section 3.7(a) of the Base Indenture shall, with respect to the Notes, be superseded in its entirety by this Section 2.04(b), and any reference in the Base Indenture to such paragraphs of Section 3.7(a) shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to refer instead to this Section 2.04(b).
(c) Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the rate borne by the Notes, subject to the enforceability
thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:
(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts 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 Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed
payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or 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 Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts 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 Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such special record date and in such notice,
instruct the Trustee to send such notice to Holders and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be sent
electronically or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its 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 Amounts and the
special record date therefor having been so sent or mailed, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.04(c).
16
(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be
listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, 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.
The fourth paragraph of Section 3.7(a) of the Base Indenture shall be superseded in its entirety by this Section 2.04(c), and any reference in the Base Indenture to such paragraph of Section 3.7(a) of
the Base Indenture shall be deemed to refer instead to this Section 2.04(c).
Section 2.05 Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes. Notwithstanding anything in the Base Indenture to the contrary, only such Notes as shall bear
thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by an authorized officer of the Trustee (or an Authenticating Agent appointed by the Trustee as
provided by Section 6.12 of the Base Indenture), shall be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an Authenticating Agent) upon any Note executed by the Company
shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
Section 2.06 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary. Notwithstanding anything in the Base Indenture to the contrary, none of the Company, the Trustee, the
Co-Trustee or the Security Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes selected for Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption (ii) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any
Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion or (iii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for purchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article XV. Any transfer or exchange of beneficial
interests in a Global Note will be subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits
under the Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(a) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the second paragraph of Section 2.06(c)
all Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a
Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.
17
The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global
Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. Neither the Trustee nor the Co-Trustee shall have any
responsibility for the actions of the Depositary.
At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, purchased or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures
and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, purchased or transferred to a transferee who
receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the
Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or
increase.
None of the Company, the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any act or omission by the
Depositary, or for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
(b) The seventh paragraph of Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture shall be superseded by this Section 2.06(c), and any reference in the Base Indenture to such
paragraph of Section 3.5 thereof shall be deemed to refer instead to this Section 2.06(c).
If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the
Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and a beneficial owner
of any Note requests that its Notes be issued in Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver
(x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii),
Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the
Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.
Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose
names such Physical Notes are so registered.
18
(c) Any Note or Class A Shares issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that is purchased or owned by any Affiliate of the Company (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Company at any time
during the three months preceding) may not be resold by such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in
a transaction that results in such Note or Class A Shares, as the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act). The Company shall cause any Note that is purchased (other than Notes
purchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) or owned by it to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.07.
Section 2.07 Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. The Company may cause all Notes properly surrendered for the purpose of payment, purchase (including as described in Section 2.09), Optional
Redemption, Cleanup Redemption, Tax Redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be delivered to the
Trustee. Upon receipt of a written order from the Company, all Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it, in accordance with its customary procedures, and, except for Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange, no Notes
shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes so cancelled.
Section 2.08 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a
convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The effectiveness of any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, such “CUSIP” numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
Section 2.09 Additional Notes; Purchases. The Company may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.02, reopen the Indenture and issue additional Notes under the
Indenture with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue date, the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes and, if applicable, restrictions on transfer in
respect 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 Canadian and U.S.
federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have one or more separate CUSIP numbers (or no CUSIP numbers). The Notes initially issued hereunder and any additional Notes under the Indenture shall rank equally and ratably and shall be
treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 1.2 of the Base Indenture, 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), purchase 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 cash-settled derivatives, in each case without prior written notice to the Holders. The Company may cause any Notes so purchased (other than Notes purchased pursuant
to cash-settled swaps or other cash-settled derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.07 and may not resell any such Notes.
19
Section 2.10 Additional Amounts. The Company will make payments on account of the Notes, including but not limited to deliveries of Class A Shares upon conversion, without withholding or deducting on
account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant
Jurisdiction (“Relevant Taxes”) unless the Company is required by law or the interpretation or administration thereof, to withhold or deduct Relevant Taxes. If the Company is required to withhold or deduct any amount on account of Relevant
Taxes, it will make such withholding or deduction and pay as additional interest the additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) necessary so that the net amount received by each beneficial holder of Notes after the withholding or deduction
(including with respect to Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the beneficial holder would have received if the Relevant Taxes had not been withheld or deducted. The Company will provide written notice to the Trustee of any
Additional Amounts. The Company will make a similar payment of Additional Amounts to beneficial holders of Notes (other than in respect of Excluded Taxes) that are exempt from withholding but are required to pay tax directly on amounts otherwise
subject to withholding. However, no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:
(a) Canadian taxes imposed on a payment made to a beneficial holder of Notes with which the Company does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) at the time of
making such payment;
(b) Canadian taxes that are assessed or imposed on a payment to a beneficial holder of Notes made in respect of a debt or other obligation to pay an amount to a person with whom the
Company does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) at the time of making such payment;
(c) Canadian taxes that are assessed or imposed by reason of the beneficial holder of the Note being a “specified shareholder” as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Tax Act of the
Company or not dealing at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Tax Act) with a “specified shareholder” of the Company;
20
(d) Canadian taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of the beneficial holder to comply with a timely request from the Company or the relevant Paying Agent for any
certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate
of deduction or withholding of, such Canadian taxes (provided that in the case of any imposition or change in any such certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements which applies generally to beneficial
holders of Notes who are not residents of Canada, at least 60 days prior to the effective date of any such imposition or change, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and the beneficial holders of the Notes then Outstanding of such
imposition or change, as the case may be, and provide the Trustee and such beneficial holders with such forms or documentation, if any, as may be required to comply with such certification, identification, information, documentation or other
reporting requirements);
(e) Canadian taxes imposed by reason of the beneficial holder of Notes carrying on business in or otherwise being connected with Canada or any province or territory thereof otherwise
than by the mere holding of such Notes or the receipt of payment, or exercise of any enforcement rights thereunder; or
(f) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge (collectively, the “Excluded Taxes”).
The Company will remit the amount it withholds or deducts to the relevant authority. Additional Amounts will be paid in cash semi-annually in the same manner and at the same time as interest payments on the Notes, on
the Maturity Date, on any Redemption Date or on any Fundamental Change Purchase Date. With respect to references in this Supplemental Indenture to the payment of principal or interest on any Note, such reference shall be deemed to include the
payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable.
The Company will furnish to the Trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Canadian taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing that such payment has been made.
The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each beneficial holder of Notes and upon written request reimburse each such beneficial holder for the amount of (i) any Relevant Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such beneficial holder as a
result of payments made under or with respect to the Notes, (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, and (iii) any Relevant Taxes levied or imposed and paid by such beneficial
holder with respect to any reimbursement under (i) and (ii) and above, but in all such cases excluding any Excluded Taxes.

the Company; and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of
the Indenture have been complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee under Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture shall survive.
ARTICLE IV
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
Section 4.01 Payment of Principal and Interest. This Section 4.01 shall supersede Section 9.1 of the Base Indenture and all references in the Base Indenture to
Section 9.1 thereof shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Notes, to be references to this Section 4.01. The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be paid the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if
applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes.
Section 4.02 Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for
presentation for payment or purchase (“Paying Agent”) and Security Registrar for the Notes shall be located in the continental United States of America and shall initially be at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company will
also maintain an office or agency (“Conversion Agent”) in the continental United States of America where the Notes may be surrendered for conversion and where notices and demands in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such offices or agencies. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or another office or agency of the Trustee as designated by the Trustee.
22
The Company may also from time to time designate as co-Security Registrars one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the continental United States of
America for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion
Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.
The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Custodian and Conversion Agent and its offices as the office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or purchase or for conversion and where notices in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be made. None of the Trustee, the Co-Trustee or the Conversion Agent will have any obligation to
independently determine or verify if any Fundamental Change, Make-Whole Fundamental Change or any other event has occurred or to notify the Holders of any such event. Further, none of the Trustee, the Co-Trustee or the Conversion Agent will have
any responsibility for any other party’s action or inaction hereunder. The rights and protections hereunder shall extend to the Trustee, the Co-Trustee and the Conversion Agent acting in any capacity, including, but not limited to, security
registrar or Paying Agent.
Section 4.03 Provisions as to Paying Agent.
(a) Section 9.3(3) of the Base Indenture is hereby amended with respect to the Notes by replacing such Section 9.3(3) in its entirety with the following: “that at any time during the continuance of an Event
of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust; and”.
Notwithstanding anything in the Base Indenture to the contrary, the Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and
unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on such date.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in the Base Indenture to the contrary, if the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Fundamental Change
Purchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price, if applicable) and accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable.
23
(c) Notwithstanding anything in the Base Indenture to the contrary, any money and Class A Shares deposited with the Trustee, Conversion Agent or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for
the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on and the consideration due upon conversion of any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal
(including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable), interest or consideration due upon conversion has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on request of the Company contained in an Officer’s Certificate, or (if then
held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, Conversion
Agent or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money and Class A Shares, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
Section 4.04 Existence. Subject to Article XI, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its

Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any such information, documents or reports, or portions thereof, subject to confidential treatment and any correspondence with the Commission) (giving effect to any grace
period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). Any such document that the Company files with the Commission via the Commission’s XXXXX system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.05(a) at the time such documents are filed via the XXXXX system, it being understood that the Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether such filings have been made.
(b) Delivery of the reports, information and documents described in subsection (a) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the information and
the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive or actual notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants
hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content of any such reports, and will not be obligated to
monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the Commission or XXXXX or its website under the Indenture, or participate in any
conference calls.
24
Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead,
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as
contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee or Co-Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.07 Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee and Co-Trustee within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020) an Officer’s Certificate stating whether the signer thereof has knowledge of any Default that occurred during the previous fiscal year.
In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and Co-Trustee within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, written notice setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default, its status and the
action that the Company is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof; provided that the Company shall not be required to deliver such an Officer’s Certificate if such Event of Default or Default has
been cured.
Section 1.2 of the Base Indenture shall, with respect to the Notes, be superseded in its entirety by this Section 4.07, and any reference in the Base Indenture to such Section 1.2 shall, with respect to the Notes, be
deemed to refer instead to this Section 4.07.
Section 4.08 Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee or Co-Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such
further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of the Indenture.

hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal or interest of any such indebtedness when due and payable (after
the expiration of all applicable grace periods) at its stated maturity, upon required purchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such failure to pay or default shall

26
(h) [Reserved];
(i) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or any such Significant
Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Company or any such Significant
Subsidiary or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general

(j) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or such

Significant Subsidiary or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days.; or
(k) a Termination of Trading occurs and continues for twenty (20) consecutive days.
For the purposes of clause (k) above, a “Termination of Trading” Default will be deemed to occur if the Class A Shares (or other shares underlying the Notes) are not listed or quoted on at least one of the NYSE, The Nasdaq Global Select
Market, The Nasdaq Global Market or the TSX (or any of their respective successors).
Section 6.03 Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.02(i) or Section 6.02(j) with respect to the Company), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may, and the Trustee, at the direction of such Holders, shall, declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid
interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary
notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.02(i) or Section 6.02(j) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall
automatically be immediately due and payable.
27
The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the
payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the principal of
any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, and on such
principal at the rate borne by the Notes at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee and Co-Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have
been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.10, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, by written notice to the
Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal
(including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes, (ii) a failure to purchase any Notes when required or (iii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due
upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 6.04 Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to (i)
the failure by the Company to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act or (ii) the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.05(a) (the obligations described in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Reporting Obligations”) shall, for the
first 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding for each day during
the first 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default and 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding from the 181st day until the
365th day following the occurrence of such an Event of Default during which such Event of Default is continuing; provided
that in no event shall the Additional Interest payable at the Company’s election for failure to comply with its reporting obligations pursuant to this Section 6.04 accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum, regardless of the number of events
or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.
28
If the Company so elects to pay Additional Interest, any such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 366th day after such
Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with the Reporting Obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 366th day), the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section
6.03. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default relating to the Reporting Obligations in accordance with this Section 6.04 or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the
Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.03.
In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with the Reporting Obligations,
in accordance with this Section 6.04, the Company must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee, the Co-Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 365-day period. Upon the failure to timely give such notice,
the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.03. The Trustee and the Co-Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Additional Interest, or with
respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Additional Interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect to cure a Default described in clause 6.02(k) by offering to purchase the outstanding Notes utilizing the procedures under Article XV hereof as if the occurrence
of such Event of Default were an occurrence of a Fundamental Change. To make this election, the Company must send out a notice setting out the terms of the purchase offer within 20 days of the occurrence of a Termination of Trading, which notice
will be deemed a Fundamental Change Company Notice for the purposes of the offer to purchase described under Article XV hereof. The purchase offer under such circumstances must remain open for at least 20 calendar days but cannot be open for more
than 35 Business Days. Further, if the Company elects to cure such Default by making such purchase offer, a Holder shall be entitled to convert all or any portion of its Notes as if the occurrence of such Default were an occurrence of a
Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections and 14.01(b)(iii) and 14.03 and the Company shall comply with all applicable provisions therein. Upon Company’s making of such purchase offer as described above
and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article XV, Holders, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee may not exercise any remedies or institute enforcement proceedings with respect to the Notes or this Indenture (or the related obligations)
arising from the occurrence of such Event of Default, including, without limitation, acceleration of the Notes, or institute any insolvency proceedings with respect to the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries.
29
Section 6.05 Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.02 shall have occurred, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee or the requisite Holders as set forth in Section 6.02, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes,
the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee under Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and
collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or
in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such
other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, irrespective of
whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.05, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial
proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Co-Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee and Co-Trustee, their agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or
their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee under Section 6.7 of the Base
Indenture; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, as administrative
expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements, including
agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee under Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable
compensation, expenses and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies,
securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
30
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the Co-Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the Co-Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under the Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee or the Co-Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at
any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee or the Co-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 and disbursements of the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, their agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
In any proceedings brought by the Trustee or the Co-Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of the Indenture to which the Trustee or the Co-Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee
and Co-Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.
In case the Trustee or Co-Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.10 or any
rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.03 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or Co-Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders, the Trustee and Co-Trustee shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders, the Trustee and Co-Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding
had been instituted.
Section 6.06 Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI with respect to the Notes
shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies or property, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon
surrender thereof, if fully paid:
First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and the Co-Trustee and their agents under the Base Indenture;
Second, in case the principal of the Outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in the order of the date
due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, such
payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;
31
Third, in case the principal of the Outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the
Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal
(including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the cash due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any
other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and
Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
Section 6.07 Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of the Indenture to institute any suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;
(b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee and the Co-Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in their own
names as Trustee and Co-Trustee hereunder;
(c) such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee and Co-Trustee such security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;
(d) the Trustee and Co-Trustee for 60 days after their receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding;
and
(e) no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee or Co-Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee and Co-Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to Section 6.10, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder
and the Trustee and Co-Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of the Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or
seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided
herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.07, each and every Holder and the Trustee and Co-Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
32
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Redemption Price and
the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after their respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or
in the Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery.
Section 6.08 Proceedings by Trustee and Co-Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, each of the Trustee and Co-Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect
and enforce the rights vested in it by the Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in the Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee or Co-Trustee by
the Indenture or by law.
Section 6.09 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee, the Co-Trustee or to the Holders shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee, Co-Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the
performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee, the Co-Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event
of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.07, every power and remedy given by this
Article VI or by law to the Trustee, the Co-Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, by the Co-Trustee or by the Holders.
33
Section 6.10 Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes
at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or Co-Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or Co-Trustee with
respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the Indenture, and (b) the Trustee and
Co-Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or Co-Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee and Co-Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that they determine are unduly prejudicial to the rights
of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee or Co-Trustee in personal liability. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any
past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Fundamental Change Purchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not
been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.02, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which
under Article X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee, the Co-Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted
by this Section 6.10, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and the Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.11 Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after obtaining actual knowledge of a Default or Event of Default of which it has actual
knowledge or of which the Trustee has received written notice at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice references the Notes and the Indenture and states it is a “Notice of Default”, deliver to all Holders as the names and
addresses of such Holders appear upon the Security Register, notice of such Default or Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer, deliver to each Holder notice of such Default or Event of Default unless such Default or Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Trustee
in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders. This Section 6.11 shall supersede Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture, and any reference in the Base Indenture to such Section 6.1 thereof shall be
deemed to refer instead to this Section 6.11.
Section 6.12 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to the Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee or the Co-Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee or the
Co-Trustee, as applicable, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against
any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.12 (to the extent
permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee or the Co-Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding,
or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) on or after
the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article XIV.

the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Article X or the applicable provisions set forth in this Article X, respectively.
Section 10.02 Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the
Trustee and the Co-Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes:

(l) to comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, as applicable;
(m) to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depositary in a manner that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holders; or

The Trustee and the Co-Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but neither
the Trustee nor the Co-Trustee shall be obligated to, but each may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.
38
Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.02 may be executed by the Company, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time
Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.03.
Section 10.03 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 8 of the Base Indenture) of the Holders of at
least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, Notes), the Company, when authorized by the
resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture, the Notes or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Note affected, no such supplemental indenture shall:

Upon the filing with the Trustee and the Co-Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid and subject to Section 10.06, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s or the Co-Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or the Co-Trustee, as applicable, may in its
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.
Holders do not need under this Section 10.03 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture. It shall be sufficient if such Holders approve the substance thereof. After any such supplemental
indenture becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to the Holders a notice briefly describing such supplemental indenture. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the
validity of the supplemental indenture.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, any consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by such Holder and every subsequent Holder of such consenting Holder’s Note, or portion of such
consenting Holder’s Note, that evidences the same debt as such consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee
receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 10.04 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, the Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under the Indenture of the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Company and the Holders shall
thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and
conditions of the Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 10.05 Notation on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article X
may, at the Company’s expense, bear a notation as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any
modification of the Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, upon receipt of a Company Order authenticated by the Trustee (or an Authenticating Agent duly
appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Base Indenture) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then Outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then Outstanding.
40
Section 10.06 Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished to Trustee. In addition to the documents required by Section 1.2 of the Base
Indenture, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article X, is
permitted or authorized by the Indenture and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

Company, such Successor Company (if not the Company) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of the Company’s consolidated properties and assets substantially as an entirety, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect
as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee; and, upon a Company Order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in the
Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company accompanied by a Company Order to
the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under
the Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger,
amalgamation, arrangement, combination or sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article XI the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Supplemental Indenture (or any
successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article XI) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities
as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, combination or sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes
thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.
Section 11.04 Opinion of Counsel to Be Given to Trustee. No such consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, combination or sale, conveyance, transfer or
lease pursuant to which the Company shall not be the Successor Company shall be effective unless the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger,
amalgamation, arrangement, combination or sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, complies with the provisions of
this Article XI.

ARTICLE XII
NO RECOURSE
Section 12.01 No Recourse.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture, or of the Notes, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder,
officer, employee or director, past, present or future as such, of the Company, of any predecessor or Successor Company or of any issuer of any securities underlying the Notes, either directly or through the Company, any such predecessor or
Successor Company or any such issuer, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that the Indenture and the obligations issued
hereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, shareholders, officers, employees or directors as such, of the Company, of any such
predecessor or Successor Company or any such issuer, or any of them, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or in the Notes or
implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability of every name and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, shareholder,
officer, employee or director as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or in the Notes or implied therefrom, are hereby
expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Supplemental Indenture and the issuance of the Notes.
ARTICLE XIII
[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
ARTICLE XIV
CONVERSION OF NOTES
Section 14.01 Conversion Privilege.
(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article XIV, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted
is in a minimum denomination of $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), at any time prior to the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2025 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 14.01(b), and (ii) regardless of the conditions described in
Section 14.01(b), on or after August 1, 2025 and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of
0.6944 Class A Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article XIV, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 14.02, the “Conversion
Obligation”).
43
(b) (i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2025, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time during the ten Business Day
period immediately after any ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a written request by a Holder in accordance with this
subsection (b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Shares and the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day. The Trading Prices shall be determined by
the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this subsection (b)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Supplemental Indenture. If the Company is not acting as the Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall provide written notice to
the Bid Solicitation Agent of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company pursuant to the definition of Trading Price, along with appropriate contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent, if
not the Company, shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in writing, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request or, where
the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, unless a Holder of at least $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the
Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Shares and the Conversion Rate, at which time, if the Company is not the Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company
shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine, or, if the Company is the Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive
Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Shares and the Conversion Rate. If (x) the Company is not acting as the Bid
Solicitation Agent and the Company does not instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, or if the Company instructs the Bid
Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination or (y) if the Company is acting as the Bid Solicitation Agent and fails to make such determination, then, in either case, the Trading Price per
$1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Shares and the Conversion Rate on each Trading Day of such failure. If the Trading Price condition set forth above
has been met following a request as described above, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee). If, following a request as described above, the Trading Price condition set forth
above ceases to be met, the Company shall notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) that the Trading Price condition set forth above is no longer met, and thereafter neither the Company nor
the Bid Solicitation Agent shall be required to solicit further bids until a new Holder request is made as provided above.
(ii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2025, the Company elects to:
(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Shares any rights, options or warrants (other than in connection with a shareholder rights plan prior to the separation of such rights from the
Class A Shares) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase the Class A Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported
Sale Prices of the Class A Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or
44
(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Shares the Company’s assets, securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company (other than in connection with a shareholder rights
plan prior to the separation of such rights from the Class A Shares), which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Company, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Shares on the Trading Day
preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes (such notification, a “Certain Distributions Notice”) (x) at least 25 Scheduled Trading Days or (y) if the
Company is then otherwise permitted to elect Physical Settlement in respect of any conversions and, in the Certain Distributions Notice, the Company elects Physical Settlement in respect of any conversions with Conversion Dates that occur after
delivery to the Holders of the Certain Distributions Notice, until the Certain Distributions Conversion Period End Date, at least 5 Scheduled Trading Days prior to, in either case prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution
(or, if later, in the case of any such separation of rights issued pursuant to a shareholder rights plan, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes aware that such separation or triggering event has occurred or will occur). Once
the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance
or distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time (such earlier date and time, the “Certain Distributions Conversion Period
End Date”).
Holders of the Notes may not exercise their conversion rights pursuant to this Section 14.01(b)(ii) if they participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and
upon the same terms as holders of the Class A Shares and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described above without having to convert their Notes as if they held a number of Class A Shares equal to the applicable
Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(iii) If (x) a transaction or event that constitutes a (A) Fundamental Change or (B) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1,
2025, regardless of whether the Company is required to make an offer to purchase the Notes as described in Section 15.02 or (y) the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share exchange, combination or
transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its assets that occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2025, pursuant to which Class A Shares would be converted into cash, securities or other
assets (other than a transaction effected solely to change Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation that does not otherwise constitute a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a merger or amalgamation with one or more direct or
indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries), then, in each case, all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the date that is the effective date of the transaction until 35 Trading Days after the
actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change (other than an Excluded Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof), until the related Fundamental Change Purchase
Date. The Company will notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction but in no event later than the actual effective
date of such transaction.
45
(iv) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2025, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time during any calendar quarter
commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Shares for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30
consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day.
(v) If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption, as applicable, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August
1, 2025, Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes called for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at
such time. After that time, the right to convert such Notes will expire, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of Notes may convert all or any portion of its Notes until the Redemption Price
has been paid or duly provided for.
(vi) If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption and the Holder of any Note (or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note) is
reasonably not able to determine, before the close of business on the 24th Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the relevant Redemption Date (or if, as permitted under Sections 16.01 and 16.02 the Company delivers a Notice of Redemption not
less than 5 Scheduled Trading Days nor more than 45 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the related Redemption Date, then prior to close of business on the 4th Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the relevant Redemption Date), whether such Note
or beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such redemption, then such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, at any time before the close of business
on the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to such Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such Note or beneficial
interest, as applicable, until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for, and each such conversion will be deemed to be of a Note called for redemption.
Section 14.02 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 Company 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”), Class A Shares, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any
fractional share of Class A Shares in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and Class A Shares, together with cash, if applicable,
in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Class A Shares in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.02 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section
14.02.
46
(i) All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after August 1, 2025 or during a single Redemption Period shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.
(ii) Except for any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs during a Redemption Period and any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after August 1, 2025, the Company
shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions on the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Conversion Dates.
(iii) If the Company elects a Settlement Method in respect of a Conversion Date (or in respect of conversions occurring on or after August 1, 2025), the Company will deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”)
of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or in respect of conversions occurring on or after August 1, 2025) to converting Holders, through the Trustee, no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately
following the related Conversion Date (or in the case of any conversion (i) during a Redemption Period as described in Article XVI, in the relevant Notice of Redemption, (ii) on or after August 1, 2025, no earlier than 15 Business Days prior to
August 1, 2025 and no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2025 or (iii) for which the Company has elected Physical Settlement to apply in a Certain Distributions Notice, in such Certain Distributions
Notice).
(iv) If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in clause (iii) above, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement for
such conversion or during such period and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Physical Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation. If the Company 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. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company will be permitted to irrevocably elect Physical Settlement in any Certain Distributions Notice and any such election would be applicable to conversions with Conversion Dates that occur after delivery to the Holders of the
Certain Distributions Notice until the Certain Distributions Conversion Period End Date.
(v) The cash, Class A Shares or combination of cash and Class A Shares in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:
(A) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect
of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of Class A Shares equal to the Conversion Rate;
47
(B) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company 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 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and
(C) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Company 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 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.
(vi) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company 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 Class A Shares, the Company 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 Class A Shares. 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, if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, 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, PDF or other electronic transmission thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent 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 Class A Shares to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion 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 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. The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article XIV 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 Purchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.
48
(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 Company 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 Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) Physical Settlement, or on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of
the Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method; provided that, with respect to any Conversion Date occurring (x) during a Redemption Period, the Company will settle any such conversion for
which the Company elects Physical Settlement on the Redemption Date or (y) on or after August 1, 2025, the Company will settle any such conversion for which it elects Physical Settlement on the Maturity Date.
(d) In case any Physical Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, 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 unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company,
the Trustee or the Security Registrar, 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 Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any Class A Shares 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 certificate representing the Class A Shares 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 Holders in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(f) Except as provided in Section 14.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any Class A Shares issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article XIV.
(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 Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
49
(h) The Company’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 Class A Shares, 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. However, 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 such interest payable on
the Notes so converted on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the converting Holder was the Holder of record on such Regular Record Date); provided that no such payment shall be
required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day
immediately succeeding the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately succeeding the corresponding Interest Payment Date
or (4) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.
(i) The Person in whose name the Class A Shares shall be issuable upon conversion shall become the Holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company
elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by 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.
(j) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Class A Shares upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Class A Shares issuable upon
conversion based on the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). For each Note
surrendered for conversion, if the Company 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. If a Holder converts more than one Note on a Conversion Date, then the consideration due upon such conversion will (in the
case of any Global Note, to the extent permitted by, and practicable under, the applicable procedures of the Depositary) be computed based on the total principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date by that Holder.
Section 14.03 Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes or during a Redemption Period.
50
(a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, or if the Company
issues a Notice of Redemption as set forth in Article XVI, and a Holder elects to convert Notes called for redemption during the related Redemption Period, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for
the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional Class A Shares (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change
Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof or an Excluded Fundamental Change
pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, if
the Company issues a Notice of Redemption as set forth under Section 16.01, the Company will increase the Conversion Rate during the related Redemption Period only with respect to conversions of Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption, and not
for Notes not called for redemption. Accordingly, if the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to an Optional Redemption, Holders of the Notes not called for redemption will not be entitled to convert such Notes on
account of the Notice of Redemption and will not be entitled to an increased Conversion Rate for conversions of such Notes on account of the Notice of Redemption during the related Redemption Period if such Notes are otherwise convertible, except in
the circumstances set forth under Section 14.01(b)(vi).
(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or during a Redemption Period, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by
Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 14.02; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such
Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Share Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate
(including any adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.03), multiplied by such Share Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be paid to Holders in cash on the second Business Day following the
Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
51
(c) The amount, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes
effective (the “Effective Date”) or the Redemption Notice Date, as applicable, and the price (the “Share Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Class A Shares in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or on the Redemption
Notice Date. If the holders of the Class A Shares receive in exchange for their Class A Shares only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid
per share (unless the Company elects to deliver prescribed securities). Otherwise, the Share Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Shares over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the Redemption Notice Date, as the case may be. In the event that a conversion during a Redemption Period would also be deemed to be in connection with a
Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a Holder of the Notes to be converted will be entitled to a single increase to the Conversion Rate with respect to the first to occur of the applicable Redemption Notice Date or the effective date of the applicable
Make-Whole Fundamental Change, and the later event will be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of this Section 14.03. The Company shall make appropriate adjustments to the Share Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any
adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date (as such term is used in Section 14.04) or expiration date of the event occurs during
such five consecutive Trading Day period.
(d) The Share Price s set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate for the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Share Price s shall
equal the Share Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Share
Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares as set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in
Section 14.04.
(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes:

The exact Share Prices and Effective Dates or Redemption Notice Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(i) if the Share Price is between two Share Prices in the table above or the Effective Date or Redemption Notice Dates, as the case may be, is between two Effective Dates or Redemption Notice Dates, as
applicable, in the table, the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the amount of the Conversion Rate increase set forth for the higher and lower Share
Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates or Redemption Notice Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
52
(ii) if the Share Price is greater than $4,000.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above),
no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and (iii) if the Share Price is less than $900.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to
subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 1.1111 Class A Shares, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section
14.04.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.
Section 14.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company
shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes may participate in their capacity as Holders (other than in the case of (x) a share subdivision or share consolidation or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time
and upon the same terms as holders of the Class A Shares and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of Class A Shares equal
to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(a) If the Company exclusively issues Class A Shares as a dividend or distribution on the Class A Shares, or if the Company effects a share subdivision or share consolidation in respect of the Class A Shares,
the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where,
CR0
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such
share subdivision or share consolidation, as applicable;
|
||
CR’
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as applicable;
|
53
OS0
|
=
|
the number of Class A Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, share subdivision or share consolidation); and
|
||
OS’
|
=
|
the number of Class A Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share subdivision or share consolidation, as the case may be.
|
Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or
immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share subdivision or share consolidation, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is
declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Company determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared.
(b) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Shares any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of
such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase the Class A Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading
Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
|
||
CR’
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
|
||
OS0
|
=
|
the number of Class A Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
|
||
X
|
=
|
the total number of Class A Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
|
54
Y
|
=
|
the number of Class A Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
the Class A Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.
|
Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the
open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that Class A Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be
in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Class A Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the
Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and for the purpose of Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants
entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase the Class A Shares at a price per share that is less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Shares for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the
Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Class A Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options
or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company.
(c) If the Company distributes shares, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire shares or other securities, to all or substantially all
holders of the Class A Shares, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances described in Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid
exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(d), (iii) distributions of Reference Property in exchange for or upon conversion of Class A Shares in connection with a
transaction described below in Section 14.07, and (iv) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or
property or rights, options or warrants to acquire shares or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
|
55
CR’
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
|
SP0
|
=
|
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution; and
|
FMV
|
=
|
the fair market value (as determined by the Company) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Class A Shares on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
|
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If
such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid. In the case of
any distribution of rights, options or warrants, to the extent such rights, options or warrants expire unexercised, the applicable Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted to the applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the
increase made for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of the Class A Shares actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the
same terms as holders of the Class A Shares receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of Class A Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the
Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Class A Shares of shares of any class or
series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be
increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;
|
CR’
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
|
56
FMV0
|
= |
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the shares or similar equity interests distributed to holders of the Class A Shares applicable to one share of the Class A Shares (determined by reference to the
definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Class A Shares were to such shares or similar equity interests) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the
Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
|
MP0
|
= |
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Shares over the Valuation Period.
|
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that (x) in
respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of
Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination
Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Valuation Period, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of
Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off and such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or
made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Company determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not
been declared or announced.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respects to Section 14.10), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Class A Shares
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s shares, including Class A Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger
Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such Class A Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Class A Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this
Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such
rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option
or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase
different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such
rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the Holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights,
options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, upon such final
redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or
Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a Holder or holders of Class A Shares with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such Holder had
retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Class A Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by
any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
57
For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), if any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:
(A) a dividend or distribution of Class A Shares to which Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or
(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),
then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) is
applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A
Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.04(a) and Section 14.04(b)
with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II)
any Class A Shares included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b).
(d) If the Company pays or makes any cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
58
where,
CR0
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
|
CR’
|
=
|
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
|
SP0
|
=
|
the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and
|
C
|
=
|
the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Shares.
|
Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such
dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Company determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend
or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal
amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Class A Shares, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of Class A Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date
for such cash dividend or distribution.
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Class A Shares that is subject to the then applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act
(other than any odd lot tender offer), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Class A Shares exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Shares over the 10
consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the
following formula:
where,
CR0
|
= |
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
|
59
CR’

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
|
|
AC

|
the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Company) paid or payable for Class A Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
|
|
OS0
|
=
|
the number of Class A Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all Class A Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such
tender or exchange offer);
|
|
OS’
|
=
|
the number of Class A Shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all Class A Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender
or exchange offer); and
|
|
SP’
|
=
|
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer
expires.
|
The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day
next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs
during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires, references in this Section 14.04(e) to “10” or “10th” shall be
deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the date that such tender or exchange offer expires to, and including, such Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any
conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the
Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references in this Section 14.04(e) to “10” or “10th” shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have
elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.
If the Company is obligated to purchase Class A Shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 14.04(e), but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such
purchase, or all such purchases are rescinded, the applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the
purchases that have been made.
60
(f) Notwithstanding this Section 14.04 or any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a Holder that has converted its Notes
on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record Holder of the Class A Shares as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 14.02(i) based
on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 14.04, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting
Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the Class A Shares on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.
(g) [Reserved].
(h) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 14.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable listing standards of the NYSE and the TSX, the Company from time to time may
increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Company determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the
applicable listing standards of the NYSE and the TSX, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Class A Shares or rights to purchase Class A Shares in connection with a
dividend or distribution of Class A Shares (or rights to acquire Class A Shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at its
last address appearing on the Security Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be
in effect.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XIV and except as specifically stated herein, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate:
(i) upon the issuance of any Class A Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional
optional amounts in Class A Shares under any plan;
(ii) upon the issuance of any Class A Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company
or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(iii) upon the issuance of any the Class A Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of
the date the Notes were first issued;
(iv) upon the purchase of any Class A Shares pursuant to an open-market share purchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described in Section 14.04(e);
61
(v) upon the issuance of rights to holders of the Class A Shares under a shareholder rights plan provided that such rights have not separated from the Class A Shares in accordance with the provisions of the
applicable shareholder rights plan;
(vi) solely for a change in the par value of the Class A Shares (if applicable); or
(vii) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
(j) All calculations and other determinations under this Article XIV shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share. The Company will not adjust the
applicable Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 14.04 above unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the then effective Conversion Rate. However, the Company will carry forward any adjustment to such Conversion Rate that
the Company would otherwise have to make and take that adjustment into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such carried-forward adjustments shall be made (i) where the aggregate of all such carried-forward
adjustments equals or exceeds 1% of the Conversion Rate and (ii) regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1% of the applicable Conversion Rate, (x) on the Conversion Date for any Notes (in the case of Physical Settlement) or (y) on
each Trading Day of any Observation Period with respect to any Notes (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement).
(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the
Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such
adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on
the Security Register. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(l) For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of Class A Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Class A Shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any
dividend or make any distribution on Class A Shares held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include Class A Shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Class A Shares.
Section 14.05 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of the Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the
Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, an Observation Period and the period, if any, for determining the Share Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the
Company shall make appropriate adjustments in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where
the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date (as such term is used in Section 14.04) or expiration date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily
Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.
62
Section 14.06 [Reserved].
Section 14.07 Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Class A Shares.
(a) In the case of:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Class A Shares (other than changes resulting from a share subdivision or consolidation),
(ii) any consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, binding share exchange or combination involving the Company,
(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party (other than one or more of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries) of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s
Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or (iv) any statutory share exchange,
in each case, as a result of which the Class A Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, capital stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Share Exchange Event”),
then, at and after the effective time of such transaction, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares, other securities or
other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a Holder of a number of Class A Shares equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference
Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a Holder of one share of Class A Shares are entitled to receive) upon such transaction and, prior to or at the effective time of
such transaction, the Company or the Successor Company, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee and Co-Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.02(j) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000
principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the transaction (A) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine
the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall continue to be
payable in cash, (II) any Class A Shares that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a Holder of
that number of Class A Shares would have been entitled to receive in such transaction and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.
63
If the transaction causes the Class A Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then
(i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Class A Shares, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for
purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Class A Shares. If the holders of the Class A Shares receive only cash in such transaction, then for all
conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such transaction (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate
in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased pursuant to Section 14.03), multiplied by the price paid per share of Class A Shares in such transaction and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion
Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average
in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination is made.
The supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for
in this Article XIV. If, in the case of any transaction, the Reference Property includes shares, securities or other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or the Successor Company, as the case may be (excluding, for the avoidance of
doubt, cash paid by such resulting or surviving company, successor or purchaser corporation), in such transaction, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect
the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Company reasonably considers necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article XV.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the date that is five years plus one day from the last date of original issuance of Notes, Holders of Notes would otherwise be entitled to receive, on conversion of the Notes,
any property (including cash) or securities that would not constitute “prescribed securities” for the purposes of clause 212(1)(b)(vii)(E) of the Tax Act as it applied for the 2007 taxation year (“Ineligible Consideration”), such Holders shall
not be entitled to receive such Ineligible Consideration but the Company or the Successor Company, as the case may be, shall have the right (at the Company’s sole option or at the sole option of the Successor Company, as the case may be) to deliver
either such Ineligible Consideration or “prescribed securities,” for the purposes of clause 212(1)(b)(vii)(E) of the Tax Act as it applied for the 2007 taxation year, with a market value equal to the market value of such Ineligible Consideration. The
Company shall notify Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announce such transaction but in no event less than 35 Scheduled Trading Days
prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, unless the Company has previously agreed to a Physical Settlement for all such conversions, in which case the Company shall notify Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
(if other than the Trustee) no less than 10 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction. Such notice shall also state the consideration into which the Notes will be convertible after the effective date of such
transaction. After such notice, the Company or the Successor Company, as the case may be, may not change the consideration to be delivered on conversion of the Notes except in accordance with any other provision of the Indenture.
64
(b) When the Company or the Successor Company, as applicable, executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.07, the Company or the Successor Company, as applicable, shall
promptly file with the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such transaction, any adjustment to be
made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Holders. The Company or the Successor Company, as applicable, shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental
indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Security Register provided for in the Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such
supplemental indenture.
(c) The Company shall not become a party to any transaction unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its
Notes into cash, Class A Shares or a combination of cash and Class A Shares, as applicable, as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such transaction.
(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive transactions.
Section 14.08 Certain Covenants. The Company covenants that all Class A Shares issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company
and free from all taxes, liens, charges and preemptive rights with respect to the issue thereof.
(a) The Company covenants that, if any Class A Shares to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law before such Class A Shares may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
(b) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Class A Shares shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the
Class A Shares shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
65
Section 14.09 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to
determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when
made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the
kind or amount) of any Class A Shares, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto.
Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any Class A Shares or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the
purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article XIV. Neither the Trustee nor any other Conversion Agent shall have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to determine
whether the Company has a Conversion Obligation or compliance with the conversion procedures, or to make or confirm any calculations with respect to the settlement provisions, of Sections 14.02 through 14.07. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or
amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.3 of the Base Indenture, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company
shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to
the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 14.01(b). The rights, benefits and privileges of the Trustee
set forth in the Base Indenture shall be applicable to the Conversion Agent, and the provisions set forth in Article 6 of the Base Indenture relating to the Trustee shall apply to the Conversion Agent.
Section 14.10 Shareholder Rights Plans. If the Company has a shareholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Class A Shares, if any,
issued upon such conversion shall entitle the Holder of such Class A Share, as a result of becoming a Holder of such Class A Share and not as additional consideration for conversion of the Notes, to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any,
and the certificates representing the Class A Shares issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case, as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time.
However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the Class A Shares in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the
Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Shares Distributed Property as provided in Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or
redemption of such rights.

ARTICLE XV
OFFER TO PURCHASE UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
Section 15.01 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 15.02 Purchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.
(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Company will be required to offer to purchase for cash all of the Outstanding Notes. The “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”
specified by the Company that is not less than 20 calendar or more than 35 Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice, subject to postponement to comply with applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or any
similar Canadian securities laws, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “Fundamental
Change Purchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Purchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full
amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record on such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased pursuant to this Article XV.
(b) Purchases of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A,
if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change
Purchase Date, subject to postponement to comply with applicable law; and (ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice (together with all
necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a
condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor.
67
The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be purchased shall state:
(ii) in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for purchase;
(iii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(iv) that the Notes are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and the Indenture;
provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part,
such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery to the Paying Agent and Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent) of
a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with Section 15.03.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company (and the Trustee, if other than the Paying Agent) of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(c) On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of
a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and setting out the terms of the purchase offer arising as a result thereof. In the
case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;
(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the purchase right pursuant to this Article XV;
(iv) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
(v) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;
68
(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(vii) if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate;
(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder validly withdraws the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and
(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their Notes in accordance with the Company’s offer to purchase such Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ purchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section
15.02.
At the Company’s request at least one Business Day in advance, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be purchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such
acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will
promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to purchase, or to make an offer to purchase, any Notes upon a Fundamental Change (an “Excluded Fundamental Change”) if either (i) a
third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Article XV and such third party purchases
all Notes properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Article XV or (ii) the Fundamental Change is under clause (b) of the definition thereof and results in the Notes being convertible into an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes that is greater than the Fundamental Change Purchase Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (assuming the maximum amount of accrued interest would be payable as part of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, based on the latest possible
Fundamental Change Purchase Date) and the Company provides timely notice of the Holders’ right to convert their Notes based on such Fundamental Change as described above under Section 14.01(b)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause
(i) above, the date such third party purchases such Notes will be deemed to be the Fundamental Change Purchase Date for purposes of Section 14.01(b)(iii) and Section 14.03.
69
(f) To the extent that the provisions of any U.S. or Canadian securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Article XV, the Company shall comply with the applicable U.S. and Canadian
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of this Article XV by virtue of such conflict.
Section 15.03 Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written
notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent and Trustee (if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent) in accordance with this Section 15.03 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying:
(i) the principal amount of the Notes,
(ii) any CUSIP number identifying the Notes,
(iii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and
(iv) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Purchase Notice;
provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.
Section 15.04 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. The Company shall deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 9.3 of the Base Indenture) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date an amount of money sufficient
to purchase all of the Notes to be purchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Purchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for purchase
(and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided
that the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by
Section 15.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Security Register; provided, however,
that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the
Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
70
(a) If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions
thereof that are to be purchased on such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for purchase and have not been validly withdrawn, (i) such Notes shall cease to be Outstanding, (ii)
interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes shall terminate
(other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price).
(b) Upon surrender of a Physical Note that is to be purchased in part pursuant to Section 15.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Note in an
authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.
Section 15.05 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Purchase of Notes. In connection with any purchase offer, the Company shall, if required:
(a) comply with any applicable provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act and any Canadian Securities laws and regulations that may then be applicable;
(b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act or any applicable Canadian securities laws and regulations; and
(c) otherwise comply in all material respects with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to purchase the Notes; in each case, so as to permit the rights and
obligations under this Article XV to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article XV.
ARTICLE XVI
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION, CLEANUP REDEMPTION AND TAX REDEMPTION
Article 10 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Notes. Instead, the provisions set forth in this Article XVI shall, with respect to the Notes, supersede in its entirety Article 10 of the Base Indenture, and all references in the Base
Indenture to Article 10 thereof and the provisions therein, as the case may be, shall, with respect to the Notes, be deemed to be references to this Article XVI and the applicable provisions set forth in this Article XVI, respectively.
71
Section 16.01 Optional Redemption. On or after September 15, 2023, the Company may, at its option, redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any
portion of the Notes at the Redemption Price, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Shares has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive
Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Notice of Redemption in accordance with Section 16.02.
Section 16.02 Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes. (a) In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the
Notes pursuant to Section 16.01, it shall fix a Redemption Date and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than 5 Business Days prior to the date such Notice of Redemption is to be sent (or such shorter period of time as
may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a written Notice of Redemption of such Optional Redemption not less than 25 Scheduled Trading Days nor more
than 45 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date (provided that if the Company elects (or is deemed to elect) Physical Settlement for conversions that occur during the related Redemption Period,
the Company may provide not less than 5 Scheduled Trading Days’ nor more than 45 Scheduled Trading Days’ written Notice of Redemption before the Redemption Date) to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Paying Agent,
and each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed as a whole or in part.
(b) If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected according to the Depositary’s applicable procedures, in the case of Notes represented by a Global
Note, or, in the case of Notes represented by Physical Notes, the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures, Notes to be redeemed in whole or in
part. If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption,
subject, in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, to the Depositary’s applicable procedures.
Unless context requires otherwise, all references in this Indenture to Redemption Dates, Redemption Notice Dates, Redemption Periods and Redemption Prices in this Indenture refer to Redemption Dates, Redemption Notice
Dates, Redemption Periods and Redemption Prices for each of an Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption, as applicable, in each case other than in connection with any increase in the Conversion Rate for the Notes described in Section
14.03.
Section 16.03 Cleanup Redemption. (a) The Company may redeem (a “Cleanup Redemption”) for cash all (but not less than all) of the Notes at any time if less
than $80 million aggregate principal amount of Notes remains Outstanding at such time, at the Redemption Price.
72
(b) In the case of any Cleanup Redemption, the Company shall fix a Redemption Date and shall provide or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than 5 Business Days prior to the date such
Notice of Redemption is to be sent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall provide not less than 25 Scheduled Trading Days’ nor more than 45 Scheduled
Trading Days’ a written Notice of Redemption before the Redemption Date (provided that if the Company elects (or is deemed to elect) Physical Settlement for conversions that occur during the related Redemption
Period, the Company may provide not less than 5 Scheduled Trading Days’ nor more than 45 Scheduled Trading Days’ written Notice of Redemption before the Redemption Date) to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Paying
Agent and each Holder of Notes.
Section 16.04 Redemption of Notes for Changes in Canadian Tax Law.
(a) The Company may redeem (a “Tax Redemption”), at the Redemption Price, all, but not less than all, of the Notes if the Company has or would become obligated to pay to the Holder of any Note
Additional Amounts (which are more than a de minimis amount) as a result of any change from the date of the Prospectus Supplement in the laws or any regulations of Canada or any Canadian political subdivision
or taxing authority (a “Relevant Jurisdiction”), or any change from the date of the Prospectus Supplement in an official interpretation or application of such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency, taxing
authority or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory or administrative determination); provided, however, that the Company may not redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 16.04 if it can avoid paying Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it.
(b) The Company shall fix a Redemption Date and shall provide or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than 5 Business Days prior to the date such Notice of Redemption is to be sent (or such
shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall provide Holders of Notes not less than 25 Scheduled Trading Days’ nor more than 45 Scheduled Trading Days’ a written
Notice of Redemption (provided that if the Company elects (or is deemed to elect) Physical Settlement for conversions that occur during the related Redemption Period, it may provide not less than 5 Scheduled
Trading Days’ nor more than 45 Scheduled Trading Days’ written Notice of Redemption) of any Tax Redemption, except that (i) the Company will not give notice of Tax Redemption earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on or from which it would
be obligated to pay any such Additional Amounts, and (ii) at the time the Company gives the notice, the circumstances creating its obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remain in effect.
(c) Upon receiving a Notice of Redemption with respect to a Tax Redemption, each Holder will have the right to elect to:
(a) |
convert its Notes; or
|
(b) |
not have its Notes redeemed, provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable on any payment of interest or principal with respect to the Notes.
|
73
All future payments will be subject to the deduction or withholding of any Canadian taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld in respect of the relevant change in Canadian tax law.
Where no election is made, the Holder will have its Notes redeemed without any further action. The Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent a written notice of election so as to be received by the Paying Agent no later
than the close of business on a Business Day at least five Business Days prior to the Redemption Date (or if the Company delivers a Notice of Redemption not less than 5 Scheduled Trading Days nor more than 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the
related Redemption Date, at least two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date).
A Holder may withdraw any notice of election by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.
Section 16.05 Redemption Notices. Any Notice of Redemption in connection with an Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax Redemption, if delivered in the
manner provided in this Section 16.05, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Notice of Redemption or any defect in the Notice of Redemption to the
Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. A Notice of Redemption in connection with an Optional Redemption, Cleanup Redemption or Tax
Redemption shall be irrevocable. Each Notice of Redemption shall specify:
(a) the Redemption Date;
(b) the Redemption Price;
(c) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(d) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
(e) that Holders of Notes called for redemption may surrender such Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;
(f) the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes called for redemption and the Settlement Method;
(g) the Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 14.03;

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
0.125% Convertible Senior Note due 2025
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), initially limited to the aggregate principal amount of $920,000,000, all issued or to be
issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 18, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 18, 2020 (herein called the “Supplemental Indenture”;
the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”),
Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Co-Trustee”) to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in
this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.
In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then Outstanding,
and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, any Redemption Price on the relevant
Redemption Date and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company shall pay cash amounts in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is
also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of
Default under the Indenture and its consequences.
A-5
No reference herein to the Indenture and 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 or deliver, as the case may be, the principal (including
the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Redemption Price, as applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money
herein prescribed.
The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and
subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee,
with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the
Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company will be required to offer to purchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental
Change Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
The Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part pursuant to an Optional Redemption on or after September 15, 2023, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Indenture. The Notes shall be redeemable in
whole but not in part pursuant to a Cleanup Redemption or a Tax Redemption, in each case in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Indenture. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the second
Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash, Class A Shares or a combination of cash and Class A Shares, as applicable, at the
Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
