The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture.  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms.  Additional Notes may be issued under the Indenture which will vote as a class with the Notes and otherwise be treated as Notes for purposes of the Indenture.
All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
This Note may hereafter be entitled to certain Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders.  Reference is made to Article X of the Indenture for terms relating to such Guarantees, including the release, termination and discharge thereof.  Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make any notation on this Note to reflect any Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge.
The Notes will be redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after March 15, 2020, and prior to maturity at the applicable redemption price set forth below.  Such redemption may be made upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice by electronic delivery or first-class mail, postage prepaid, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder’s registered address in accordance with the Indenture.  The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and the performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.  Any such redemption and notice may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the occurrence of a Change of Control.  The Notes will be so redeemable at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the relevant Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on March 15 of each of the years set forth below:

The Company may make such redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by electronic delivery or first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder’s registered address in accordance with the Indenture (but in no event more than 180 days after the completion of the related Equity Offering).

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a corporate transaction (including an Equity Offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness or a Change of Control) may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related transaction.  If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, 

6






or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed.

If an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar events with respect to the Company, shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes due and payable immediately; provided, however, if an Event of Default relating to such bankruptcy, insolvency or similar events with respect to the Company shall occur and be continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders, in each case as provided for in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes to be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding to be affected.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Holders of not less than 30% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee, the Holders offered the Trustee in writing security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the written request and the offer of security and indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding a written direction, that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
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 the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration, transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration or transfer, the Company, any other obligor in respect of this Note, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, such other obligor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Company, any other obligor upon this Note, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
