Indenture, in the form of (i) one or more Attached Notes representing Notes offered and sold by the Company to IAIs in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, (ii) one or more Attached Notes representing Notes offered and sold by the Company to Persons other than U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S, and (iii) one or more Attached Notes representing beneficial interests in Notes offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

U.S. securities law purposes, initially including Attached Warrants forming part of Units offered and sold by the Company in the SEC Registered Exchange Offer, with Annex A of such Initial Warrant Certificates initially reflecting their representation of a number of Warrants equal to the Unit Warrant Number corresponding to the aggregate principal amount of Units issued in the SEC Registered Exchange Offer. At such time, the Units Trustee shall instruct the Warrant Agent to reflect on its registry, and on Annex A to the relevant Initial Warrant Certificates, corresponding decreases in the number of Attached Warrants represented by the other Initial Warrant Certificates based on the Unit Warrant Number represented by the principal amount of Units (including any PIK Interest if applicable) having the relevant transfer restricted status for each such Initial Warrant Certificate after giving effect to the SEC Registered Exchange Offer, with no delivery of additional instruments, certifications or legal opinions required under this Agreement or the Unit Certificates. The Units Trustee shall rely on the Company’s calculation of the Unit Warrant Number per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes transmitted to the Units Trustee pursuant to Section 2.08(d)(xi) in connection with the SEC Registered Exchange Offer to calculate the Unit Warrant Number for the aggregate principal amount of Notes as part of such Units. Upon the consummation of the SEC Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall issue and deposit with the Trustee, as custodian for the beneficial owners, Notes duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, in the form of one or more Attached Notes representing unrestricted Notes, initially including Notes offered and sold by the Company in the SEC Registered Exchange Offer.


Section 2.08.  Registration, Transfer and Exchange of the Units.


(a)The Units Trustee shall keep at its Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office being herein referred to as the “Unit
			
	14










Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Units Trustee shall provide for the registration of the Units.


(b)The Holder of any Global Unit will be the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary in whose name such Global Unit is registered. The Unit holdings of Agent Members will be recorded on the books of the Depositary. The beneficial interests in any Global Unit held by customers of Agent Members will be reflected on the books and records of such Agent Members, and neither the Units Trustee, the Company nor the Depositary shall be responsible for recording such beneficial interests or their exchange exercise, cancellation of transfer.


(c)Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and the requirements set forth in this Agreement, each Unit Certificate and all rights thereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company (or an agent duly appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and one or more new Unit Certificates shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as the applicable Unit Certificate so delivered but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of such Unit Certificate, duly endorsed, to the Units Trustee. All expenses and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new Unit Certificate pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall be paid by the Company, except the Holder of the old Unit Certificate surrendered for transfer shall pay to the Company a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due because the name of the Holder of the new Unit Certificate issued upon such transfer is different from the name of the Holder of the old Unit Certificate surrendered for transfer.


(d)Transfer and Exchange of Global Units; Restrictions on Transfer of Global Units.


(vii)In the case of a Unit Certificate that is a Global Unit, then so long as the Global Unit is registered in the name of the Depositary, (a) the holders of beneficial interests in the Units evidenced thereby shall have no rights under the Unit Certificate with respect to such Global Unit held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Units Trustee as custodian for the depositary, and (b) the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Units Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Units Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Unit for all purposes whatsoever, except, in each case, to the extent set forth herein. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Unit will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or the Agent Members, and neither the Company nor the Units Trustee shall have any responsibility with respect to such records maintained by the Depositary or the Agent Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Company, the Units Trustee
			
	15










or any agent of the Company or the Units Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary in respect of the Units or their constituent Securities or (ii) impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Unit. Except as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement, the rights of beneficial owners in a Global Unit shall be exercised through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Any holder of any Global Unit shall, by acceptance of such Global Unit, agree that (x) ownership of a beneficial interest in the Units represented thereby shall be required to be reflected in book-entry form and (y) the transfer and exchange of Global Units or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary, in accordance with this Agreement and the Unit Certificates and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.


(viii)If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Unit to a beneficial interest in another Global Unit, subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Units Trustee shall reflect on its registry the date and an increase in the amount of the Global Unit to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Units Trustee shall reflect on its registry the date and a corresponding decrease in the amount of the Global Unit from which such interest is being transferred. In connection with any such transfer, the Units Trustee shall direct the Warrant Agent and the Trustee to reflect on their respective registries, as applicable (A) the corresponding transfer of a beneficial interest in a number of Warrants equal to the Unit Warrant Number represented by the principal amount of such Units (including any PIK Interest, if applicable) so transferred and (B) the corresponding transfer of a beneficial interest in an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Units (including any PIK Interest, if applicable) so transferred, in each case having the same transfer restricted status as the relevant Units in the manner contemplated by this Section
2.08. The respective registries shall reflect the date and the amount of the increase in the corresponding Warrants and Notes referenced above forming part of such Units to which such interest is being transferred and shall reflect the date and the amount of the decrease in the corresponding Warrants and Notes forming part of such Units from which such interests are being transferred. The Units Trustee shall rely on the Company’s most recent calculation of the Unit Warrant Number per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes transmitted to the Units Trustee pursuant to Section 2.08(d)(xi) to calculate the Unit Warrant Number for the aggregate principal amount of Notes so transferred as part of such Units.
			
	16










(ix)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.11), a Global Unit may only be transferred as a whole, and not in part, and only by (A) the Depositary, to a nominee of the Depositary, (B) a nominee of the Depositary, to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or (C) the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or its nominee.


(x)In the event that a Global Unit is exchanged for Definitive Units pursuant to Section 2.11, such Units may be exchanged only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.08 and Section 2.11 and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or of any Unit Certificate.


(xi)Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Unit or an IAI Global Unit to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through another Transfer Restricted Unit shall be made in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary and the Restricted Units Legend and only upon receipt by the Units Trustee of a written certification from the transferor in the form attached as Annex 1 to the Unit Certificate for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto. In addition, in the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in either a Regulation S Global Unit or a Rule 144A Global Unit for an interest in an IAI Global Unit, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form attached as Annex 2 to the Unit Certificate to the Units Trustee.


(xii)During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Unit may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, the Restricted Units Legend on such Regulation S Global Unit and any applicable securities laws of any state of the U.S. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Unit to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Rule 144A Global Unit or an IAI Global Unit shall be made only in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary and the Restricted Units Legend and upon receipt by the Units Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form attached as Annex 1 to the Unit Certificate for exchange or registration of transfers. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period. Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S
			
	17










Global Unit shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Agreement.


(xiii)Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Unit may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Unit upon certification in the form attached as Annex 1 to the Unit Certificate for an exchange from a Regulation S Global Unit to an Unrestricted Global Unit.


(xiv)Beneficial interests in a Transfer Restricted Unit that is a Rule 144A Global Unit or an IAI Global Unit may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Unit if the Holder certifies in writing to the Units Trustee that its request for such exchange is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth in Annex 1 attached to the Unit Certificate) and/or upon delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as the Company or the Units Trustee may reasonably request.


(xv)If no Unrestricted Global Unit is Outstanding at the time of a transfer contemplated by the preceding clauses (vii) and (viii), the Company shall issue and the Units Trustee shall countersign, upon a written order for countersignature of such Unrestricted Global Unit, a new Unrestricted Global Unit in the appropriate principal amount.


(xvi)The Company shall promptly notify the Units Trustee in writing upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date.


(xvii)Promptly following the consummation of the SEC Registered Exchange Offer, a PIK Interest Principal Amount Increase as provided in Section 2.04, an adjustment to the Maximum Number of Warrant Shares or such other event as may cause a change in the Unit Warrant Number, the Company shall transmit to the Units Trustee in writing the calculation, as of such date of determination, of the applicable Unit Warrant Number per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (calculated to the nearest 1/1000 of a Warrant). The Company shall make these calculations in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and absent manifest error, such calculations shall be final and binding on the Holders, the owners of a beneficial interest in the applicable Units, the Units Trustee and the Warrant Agent.


(e)Restricted Units Legends. Except as permitted by Section 2.08(d), and Section 2.11, each Unit Certificate evidencing the Global Units and the Definitive Units (and all Units issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (each defined term

For the avoidance of doubt, the Units Trustee is entitled, as the holder of the Attached Notes and Attached Warrants, to take any actions or exercise any rights under the Warrant Agreement or Indenture as and to the same extent as the Warrant Agent or Trustee would be permitted to take upon the direction of holders of the Notes and the Warrants, respectively, at the direction of the Holders of Global Units in accordance with the Depositary’s and the relevant Agent Member’s customary procedures.


Section 2.11.  Exchange of Global Units and Definitive Units.


(a)Holders of Global Units shall receive Definitive Units in exchange for interests in such Global Units only if (i) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary with respect to the Global Units or

(b)All Definitive Units issued upon exchange pursuant to this Section
2.11 shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations of the Company and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Global Unit, or portion thereof, surrendered upon such exchange.


(c)Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Unit that is a Definitive Unit, the Units Trustee shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Unit for a Definitive Unit that does not bear the Restricted Units Legend and the Definitive Units Legend and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Unit if the Holder certifies in writing to the Units Trustee that its request for such exchange is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form attached as Annex 1 to the Unit Certificate) and provides such legal opinions, certifications and other information as the Company or the Units Trustee may reasonably request.


(d)In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.11(a), the Company will promptly make available to the Units Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Units in definitive, fully registered form.

Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, notwithstanding the foregoing and subject expressly to Section 3.01, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Trustee, the Warrant Agent or the Units Trustee, and none of the Trustee (under the Indenture), the Warrant Agent (under the Warrant Agreement), or the Units Trustee shall be obligated to authenticate, countersign or deliver to the Holder, a new Unit Certificate (or any Security constituting a part of such Unit) under this Section 2.12 during the period beginning any time on or after the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption or of any other exercise of any right held by the Company with respect to the Unit (or any Security constituting a part of such Unit) and ending at the close of business on the day of the giving of such notice, that evidences any Unit or Security selected or called for redemption or with respect to which such right has been exercised. In lieu of delivery of a new Unit Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of

Every new Unit Certificate executed pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Unit Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Unit Certificate (and the Securities evidenced thereby) shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement
			
	25










equally and proportionately with any and all other Unit Certificates delivered hereunder.

If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall acquire any Unit Certificate in connection with a Prohibited Event, a Prohibited Event Unit Split Date with respect to such Units shall be deemed to occur as of the date of payment or redemption, as applicable, of the

(a)Upon any of (x) the receipt by the Units Trustee of a Prohibited Event Unit Split Date Notice (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1), (y) the receipt by the Units Trustee of an Indenture Default Notice (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2) and (z) if any Units remain Outstanding on such date, April 1, 2024, the Units Trustee shall promptly cause to be separated the Warrants and, if not separately paid and cancelled in connection with one or more Prohibited Events, the Notes related to the Units subject to the relevant Unit Split Date, and all such Units shall be cancelled, and the applicable Warrants and Notes shall be freely transferrable (subject to applicable securities laws). Whenever Global Units are separated, the Units Trustee shall give effect to such separation by causing Schedule A of the Global Unit to be endorsed and the Unit Register to be updated to reflect any decrease in the Global Units as a result of such separation, the Trustee shall cause the Attached Notes (representing the Notes prior to such separation that form a part of the Units) and Schedule A of the Global Notes (representing the Notes following such separation) to be endorsed to reflect such separation and the Warrant Agent
			
	27










shall cause the Initial Warrant Certificates (representing the Warrants prior to such separation that form a part of the Units) and Schedule A of the Global Warrant (representing Warrants following such separation) to be endorsed to reflect such separation. For the portion of the principal amount of any Unit being so separated, the number of such separated Warrants shall be equal to the Unit Warrant Number corresponding to the relevant principal amount of Notes forming a part of such Unit (including any PIK Interest, if applicable) as of the time of separation, subject to Section 3.08(b) of the Warrant Agreement.


(b)Upon the completion of the foregoing procedures, such Warrants and, if applicable, Notes may be transferred, assigned or exchanged by the Holder thereof separately (subject to applicable securities laws), and will be represented by separate interests on the books of the respective agent and/or trustee, as of April 1, 2024, or, if the relevant Unit Split Date occurs prior to April 1, 2024, generally within one Business Day of such Unit Split Date (including any applicable Prohibited Event Unit Split Date), and the Company shall take commercially reasonable efforts to have the Warrants and the Notes issued on such date (to the extent not previously issued), and will have used commercially reasonable efforts to procure CUSIP numbers for such securities, and to have such CUSIP numbers made eligible for DTC, for such purpose prior to the date of separation, in the form of one or more fully registered global securities which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and will be registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any such Warrants shall be delivered free from any restrictive legends and bearing an unrestricted CUSIP number. Upon the completion of such procedures, the Units Trustee shall inform each Holder of such completion within one Business Day.


(c)As early as practical preceding any Unit Split Date, the Company shall (x) deliver a Prohibited Event Unit Split Date Notice or an Indenture Default Notice, as the case may be, to the Warrant Agent and the Units Trustee, if the relevant Unit Split Date occurs prior to April 1, 2024, and (y) calculate and transmit to the Warrant Agent and the Units Trustee a written notice of the Unit Warrant Number, the number of separated Warrants and the amount of cash, if any, payable in lieu of issuing any fractional Warrant as provided in Section 3.08(b) of the Warrant Agreement, for each Unit to which the Unit Split Date relates and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made, and the Units Trustee shall cause such notice and statement to be sent or communicated to the Holders and owners of a beneficial interest in the applicable Units. The Company shall make these calculations in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and absent manifest error, such calculations shall be final and binding on the Holders, the owners of a beneficial interest in the applicable Units, the Units Trustee and the Warrant Agent. Neither the Warrant Agent nor the Units Trustee shall have any duty or obligation to make such calculations or investigate or confirm whether the Company’s calculations are accurate or correct.

(a)to pay to the Units Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as mutually agreed to between the Units Trustee and the Company;


(b)except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Units Trustee and any predecessor Units Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Units Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

There shall at all times be a trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, having, together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia authority and willing to act on reasonable terms. If such corporation, or its parent, publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Units Trustee hereunder shall at all times be the Trustee under the Indenture and the Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agreement, subject to receipt of an Opinion of Counsel that the same Person is precluded by law from acting in such capacities. If at any time the Units Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in Section 5.07. The Units Trustee may appoint one or more sub-trustees with offices or agencies in a city or cities outside the United States.

(b)The Units Trustee may resign by giving written notice thereof to the Company and the Holders, in accordance with Section 6.06 and Section 6.07, 60 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Units Trustee may be removed at any time upon 60 days’ notice by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Units Trustee required by Section 5.08 shall not have been delivered to the Units Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Units Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Units Trustee.
(c)If at any time (i) the Units Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 5.06, or shall cease to be eligible as Trustee under the Indenture or as Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agreement, and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder, or (ii) the Units Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to the Units or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Units Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Units Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (A) the Company, by Board Resolution, may remove the Units Trustee and appoint a successor Units Trustee, or (B) any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of Units for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the removal of the Units Trustee and the appointment of a successor Units Trustee or Trustees. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Units Trustee and appoint a successor Units Trustee.
(d)If the Units Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Units Trustee for any cause, the Company, by Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Units Trustee or Trustees (other than the Company) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 5.08. If no successor Units Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 5.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of Units for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Units Trustee.
(e)The Company shall give, or shall cause such successor Units Trustee to give, notice of each resignation and each removal of the Units Trustee 
			
	33









and each appointment of a successor Units Trustee to all Holders of Units in accordance
			
	34










with Section 6.07. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Units Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.


Section 5.08. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Units Trustee, every such successor Units Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Units Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Units Trustee shall become effective and such successor Units Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, agencies and duties of the retiring Units Trustee, with like effect as if originally named as Units Trustee hereunder; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Units Trustee, such retiring Units Trustee shall, upon payment of all amounts due and payable to it pursuant to Section 5.05, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Units Trustee all the rights and powers of the retiring Units Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Units Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Units Trustee hereunder. Any retiring Units Trustee shall, nonetheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such Units Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 5.05.


(b)Upon request of any such successor Units Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Units Trustee all such rights, powers and agencies referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(c)No successor Units Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Units Trustee shall be eligible under Section 5.06.


(d)Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor Units Trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of Units in accordance with Section 6.07. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation of the Units Trustee, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 5.07. If the Company fails to give such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Units Trustee, the successor Units Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.


Section 5.09. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Units Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Units Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the agency business
			
	35










of the Units Trustee, shall be the successor of the Units Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article.


Section 5.10. Tax Compliance. (a) The Units Trustee, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company, will comply with all applicable certification, information reporting and withholding (including “backup” withholding) requirements imposed by applicable United States, federal and New York State tax laws, regulations or administrative practice (i) with respect to payments on, or transfer or redemption of the Notes or the Warrants or (ii) if specifically instructed by the Company, with respect to the issuance, delivery, holding, or exercise of rights (other than by payment, transfer or redemption) under the Notes or the Warrants. Such compliance shall include, without limitation, the preparation and timely filing of required returns with respect to, and the timely payment of, all amounts required to be withheld to the appropriate taxing authority or its designated agent. The Company will provide to the Units Trustee such information as it may reasonably request in order to comply with this Section.


(b)The Units Trustee shall comply with any direction received from the Company with respect to the application of such requirements to particular payments or holders or in other particular circumstances, and may for purposes of this Agreement rely on any such direction in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01(b)(2) hereof.


(c)The Units Trustee shall maintain all appropriate records documenting compliance with such requirements, and shall make such records available on request at reasonable times during normal business hours to the Company or to their authorized representatives duly authorized in writing.


ARTICLE 6 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


Section 6.01. Amendments. (a) This Agreement and the terms of the Units may be amended (by means of an agreement supplemental hereto or otherwise) by the Company and the Units Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, (i) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision contained herein or therein,
(ii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Units Trustee with respect to the Units, (iii) for the purposes of providing for compliance with the applicable securities laws (to the extent there are changes in applicable law following the date hereof), including with respect to the transfer restrictions set forth herein, or (iv) in any other manner which the
			
	36










Company may deem necessary or desirable and which will not adversely affect the interests of the affected Holders.


(b)The Company and the Units Trustee may modify or amend this Agreement (by means of an agreement supplemental hereto or otherwise) with the consent of Holders holding not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Units affected thereby for any purpose; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment that materially and adversely affects (i) the exercise or separation rights of the affected Holders or reduces the percentage of the principal amount of Outstanding Units the consent of the Holders of which is required for modification or amendment of this Agreement, or (ii) any Key Provision or any Key Definition may be made without the consent of each Holder materially and adversely affected thereby. In the case of Units evidenced by one or more Global Unit Certificates, the Company and the Units Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon certification in form satisfactory to each of them that any requisite consent has been obtained from holders of beneficial ownership interests in the relevant Global Unit Certificate. Such certification may be provided by participants of the Depositary acting on behalf of such beneficial owners of Units, provided that any such certification is accompanied by a certification from the Depositary as to the Unit holdings of such participants. For
purposes hereof, “Key Provisions” shall include each of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 3.01, 3,02, 4.01 and this Section 6.01, and “Key Definitions” shall include “Maximum Number of Warrant Shares,” “Prohibited Event,” “Prohibited Event Unit Split Date,” “Unit,” “Unit Split Date,” “Unit Warrant Number,” “Termination Event,” “Warrant” and “Warrant Agreement.” For the avoidance of doubt, any and all calculations or determinations made by the Company, the Units Trustee, the Trustee, the Warrant Agent or their authorized representatives in accordance with the Key Provisions and Key Definitions shall not be considered an amendment or modification of this Agreement.


(c)Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution (which Board Resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate) authorizing the execution of any such amendment, and upon the filing with the Units Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Units Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amendment unless such amendment affects the Units Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise, in which case the Units Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amendment. In executing, or accepting the additional duties created by, any amendment permitted by this Section, the Units Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The fact and date of the execution of any
			
	37










consent of Holders, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the person executing the same. The ownership of Registered Units shall be proved by the Unit Register or by a certificate of the Units Trustee, as registrar for the Units. For the avoidance of doubt, such action may relate to the Units as well as to its constituent Securities, this Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the Indenture for so long as any Warrants and Notes have not separated pursuant to Article III hereof and form part of Outstanding Units.
The Depositary shall report only one result of each solicitation of proxies to the Units Trustee.


(d)It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.


(e)The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Registered Units entitled to consent to any action by consent authorized or permitted hereby. Such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders of Registered Units furnished to the Units Trustee. The ownership of Registered Units shall be proved by the Unit Register. The Units Trustee shall vote as the custodian of the Warrants and Notes in respect of any action relating to such Securities or the Warrant Agreement or the Indenture in the manner directed by the Holders of the Registered Units. Any notices received by the Units Trustee shall be distributed to Holders of Units within two Business Days.


Section 6.02. Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers and Directors of the Company Immune from Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or in any Warrant Agreement or any Notes and/or Warrants, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, or against any past, present or future shareholder, officer, attorney-in-fact or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Units by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue thereof, provided that nothing in this Article shall impair the obligations, covenants and agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement and in any Notes and/or Warrants constituting a part of the Units.
			
	38










Section 6.03. Compliance Certificates and Opinions. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, upon any application or request by the Company to the Units Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Agreement, the Company, as applicable, shall furnish to the Units Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.


Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement shall include:


(xxvi)a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;


(xxvii)a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;


(xxviii)a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and


(xxix)a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.


Section 6.04. Form of Documents Delivered to Units Trustee. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.


Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer or Opinion of Counsel of or for the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a
certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or
			
	39










opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate, statement or opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate, statement or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company, as applicable, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.


Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.


Section 6.05. Maintenance of Office or Agency. So long as Units are authorized for issuance pursuant to this Agreement or are Outstanding hereunder, the Company will maintain an office or agency where Units may be presented or surrendered for delivery, where Units may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of Units and this Agreement may be served. The Company hereby initially designates the Units Trustee for each of said purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Units Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Units Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Units Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Units Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where Units may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain offices or agencies provided for in this Section 6.05. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Units Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.


Section 6.06. Notices, Etc. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

Any notice to the owners of a beneficial interest in a Global Unit shall be distributed through the Depositary in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. Communications to owners shall be deemed to be effective at the time of dispatch to the Depositary. Failure to provide a notice or communication to a Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Unit or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders or owners of a beneficial interest in a Global Unit. If a notice or communication is provided in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the intended recipient actually receives it. Any notice received by the Units Trustee in respect of the Attached Warrants or Attached Notes shall be transmitted by the Unit Trustee to the Holders as provided in this Section 6.07.


Section 6.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.


Section 6.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement, the Units and the Unit Certificates by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.


Section 6.10. Separability Clause.

Section 6.12. Governing Law; Waiver of Trial by Jury.
