Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Senior Notes (or portions thereof) so to be redeemed shall, on

provisions of Section 2.06 of the Indenture. If any Senior Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor by the Senior Note.


 


(h)              
Any Senior Note that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer
pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Indenture (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument

duly authorized in writing) and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Senior Note
without service charge and at the expense of the Issuer, a new Senior Note or Senior Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested

At any time and from time to time, on or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Senior Notes at its option,
either in whole or in part, upon at least 15 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice given by mail to the registered address
of each Holder of the Senior Notes to be redeemed or otherwise delivered electronically to Holders of Global Notes, with a copy to the
Trustee, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date,
plus accrued and unpaid interest on such notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Senior Notes shall not be redeemable prior
to the Par Call Date, except pursuant to Section 2.7.


 


Any redemption pursuant to this Section 2.6(i) shall be made pursuant
to the provisions of Section 2.6(a) through (h).

City time on October 29, 2021, (ii) the Issuer notifies the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes that the Issuer will not pursue
the consummation of the Acquisition or (iii) the Purchase Agreement has been terminated without the consummation of the Acquisition (each
of (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger”), the Issuer shall be required to redeem the Senior
Notes then Outstanding (such redemption, the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 101% of
the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption
Date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”).


 






     


    6 


    

 


In the event that the Issuer becomes obligated to
redeem the Senior Notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, the Issuer shall promptly, and in any event not more than two Business
Days after the date on which a Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger occurred, deliver notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior
Notes of the Special Mandatory Redemption and the date upon which the Senior Notes will be redeemed (the “Special Mandatory Redemption
Date,” which date shall be on or about the fifth Business Day following the date of such notice) together with a notice of Special
Mandatory Redemption for the Trustee to deliver to each registered Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed. At the Issuer’s request
given at least two Business Days before such notice is to be sent, the Trustee shall then promptly mail, or electronically deliver, according
to the procedures of DTC, such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each registered Holder of the Senior Notes to be redeemed. Unless
the Issuer defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest
will cease to accrue on the notes to be redeemed.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest
on any Senior Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will
be payable on such interest payment dates to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates in accordance
with the Senior Notes and the Indenture.


 


SECTION 2.8.

(a)

2.6 or in Section 2.7, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Senior Notes to repurchase all or any part
(in excess of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Senior Notes at a repurchase price
in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on
the Senior Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase.


 


(b)              
Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Issuer, prior to any Change of
Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Issuer shall send a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the
Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering
to repurchase the Senior Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than
60 days from the date such notice is sent. The notice shall, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state
that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified
in the notice.


 


(c)              
The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations
to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior Notes as a result of a Change
of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 2.8, the

such third party purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

The Issuer issued this Senior Note under an Indenture
dated as of May 26, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2021 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the
 “Indenture”). The terms of this Senior Note include those stated in the Indenture, and those made part of the Indenture
by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the
 “TIA”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
This Senior Note is subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and Holders (as defined in the Indenture) are referred to the
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms and provisions. In the event of a conflict between any provision of this Senior Note
and the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern such provision.


 


This Senior Note is a senior unsecured
obligation of the Issuer of which an unlimited aggregate principal amount may be at any one time Outstanding. The Indenture imposes
certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its Significant Subsidiaries to, among other things, create or incur Liens and
enter into certain Sale-Leaseback Transactions. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuer to consolidate
or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its property.

	5.	Optional Redemption




 


At any time and from time to time, on or after June
1, 2022 (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Senior Notes at its option, either in whole or in part, upon
at least 15 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice given by mail to the registered address of each Holder of the Senior Notes
to be redeemed or otherwise delivered electronically to Holders of Global Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest
on such notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. The Senior Notes shall not be redeemable prior to the Par Call Date, except pursuant
to Section 2.7.


 


	6.	Special Mandatory Redemption




 


If (i) the consummation of the Acquisition does not
occur on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 29, 2021, (ii) the Issuer notifies the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior
Notes that the Issuer will not pursue the consummation of the Acquisition or (iii) the Purchase Agreement has been terminated without
the consummation of the Acquisition (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a “Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger”), the Issuer
shall be required to redeem the Senior Notes then Outstanding (such redemption, the “Special Mandatory Redemption”)
at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding,
the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”).


 


In the event that the Issuer becomes obligated to
redeem the Senior Notes pursuant to the Special Mandatory Redemption, the Issuer shall promptly, and in any event not more than two Business
Days after the date on which a Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger occurred, deliver notice to the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior
Notes of the Special Mandatory Redemption and the date upon which the Senior Notes will be redeemed (the “Special Mandatory Redemption
Date,” which date shall be on or about the fifth Business Day following the date of such notice) together with a notice of Special
Mandatory Redemption for the Trustee to deliver to each registered Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed. At the Issuer’s request
given at least two Business Days before such notice is to be sent, the Trustee shall then promptly mail, or electronically deliver, according
to the procedures of DTC, such notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to each registered Holder of the Senior Notes to be redeemed. Unless
the Issuer defaults in payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, interest
will cease to accrue on the notes to be redeemed.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest
on any Senior Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date will
be payable on such interest payment dates to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record dates in accordance
with the Senior Notes and the Indenture.

the principal of all Outstanding Senior Notes, and the interest to the date of acceleration, if any, accrued thereon, to be immediately
due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) specifying the Event of Default. If an Event

satisfactory against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the Trustee has
failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and
